JUDGE BIRKHEAD WILL
NOT TRY CONTEST CASE

The Greensboro Inquirer says:
Judge T. F. Birkhead will not try
the contest case of Lawrence p. Tan.
ner against Ben ID. Ringo. over the
nomination for Commonwealth At
torney of this district.
After a careful consideration by
the court, Judge Birkhead has decid.
ed that he is disqualified to preside
in the case, and having already call
ed a special term of court TO begin
at Hartford on next Monday to try
the possum hunter cases, is another
reason he gives as to why he cannot
preside at the trial.
Judge Birkhesd notified Judge
Sandidge, attorney for Mr.. Ringo,
and also Dir. Tanner, of his conclu-
sions, and it was then agreed that
Circuit Clerk Harl should notify the
Governor at once of the inability of
the regular Judge to try the case.
1t was also agreed by Mr.. Tanner
and Mr.. Ringo that the trial shall
begin in Greensboro on Monday, Aug
ust 80, and that the contestant shall
be allowed five days to take proof
from that date, unless given further
time by the court. and that the con-
testee's time for taking proof. if he
desires to take any. shall begin at
the expiration of the time allowed to
the contestant.
Circuit Clerk Harl has sent copy
Of the order to Acting Governor Nc
Dermott, who will. have to appoint
some Circuit Judge of the State to
come to greensboro and preside at
the contest.

SPEAKS GOOD WORD FOR
STATES ATTORNEY RINGO

The Bowling Green Messenger
says:
Numerous contests have been filed
against the results in the recent pri-
mary election, both on the Demo-
cratic and Republican tickets. The
grounds are various, but most of
them allege fraud in elections. One
in particular is that of l.. p. Tanner
against Ben d. Ringo in the Ovens
boro district. Those of us who have
known Mr.. Ringo for many years
will be loath to believe that he would
be party to a fraud. His whole
life has been that of an honest man
and a fearless prosecutor Of crime
during his twelve years as Common
wealths Attorney.
