HENDERSON SEEMS ID BE TAKING TIME ID APPOINT JUDGE.
Chief Executive Has Not Intimated When He Will Fill Vacancy on Appeals
 Court Bench
By FRED IT. GoRMLEy

Montgomery. March 17.-(SpeciaI) Governor Henderson seems to be the least worried of all about the va cancy in the court of appeals caused by the death of Judge John Pelham. While all other persons in public life seem worried and are wondering what the delay means, Governor Henderson only smiles. He has not indicated when the appointment will be an nounced. He discussed various matters with state officials Saturday and each one when he left the private office of the governor reported that the gover- nor smiled but said nothing about the vacancy. One person suggested that the executive had been worried for several days because so many of his friends had applied but now was smil- ing, thus indicating that the matter had been settled in his own mind
 If there be such thing as a com posite opinion it is that William II Sanford of Montgomery will be named The general belief is that the govef nor has decided upon Mr. Sanford and that he is only waiting until Mir. Sam lOru can return 10 thlS StaJe rom NeW York after making arrangements for his work as general counsel of a New York life insuraNce company. Friends of Richard V. Evans who was judge for several months as the successor of E. Perry Thomas, resigned, had been hopeful that the governor would ap- point him but they fear the delay means that Mir. Sanford will be se- lected and that the appointment will be announced when Mr. Sanford ls ready to qualify and take up his duties
 Public opinion has eliminated all ap- plicants except MT. Sanford and Judge Evans

Passing Of a Good Citizen.

Monday afternoon, about ) O'Clock,
Mr.. Timothy f. Collins, who was near
ly seventy-fve years old, crossed to
the other side. In his last hours he
was surrounded by his wife and all his
children but two daughters, who live
in distant states. He was well-knOwn
to this entire community, having lived
in the dwelling where he died for
twenty years. The rest of his life was
spent few miles from Chenille, this
county. He was a devoted husband,
a kind and indulgent father, and was
dearly loved by his companion, sons
and daughters and many grandchil-
dren He was man of the Strictest
integrity, and in his walk through
life was God fearing and God loving,
having been a member of the Cumber-
land Presbyterian Church since early
manhood May God camfort the
widow and the children in this the
greatest sorrow that has ever
come into their lives, is the
wish Of The Adair County News and
all Columbia. Elder and Chester,
two sons, and granddaughter, Mrs.
Ora Shipley, who live in New Mexico,
rejoice that they were permitted to
reach his bedside, converse with him,
before the summons came.
During the war between the States
he espOused the cause of the Union,
entered the army, and from the day
of his enlistment he served his coun-
try faithfully until peace was de-
clared.
The remains were conveyed to-day
to his old home, three miles South
east of Chenille, and there deposited
in the family graveyard, many rela-
tiveS and friends being present. Re-
ligious services at the residence be

II Should Be Done.

There is move now on foot to or
ganize company, purchase the Fair
Grounds, erect buildings for a loose
leaf tobacco house, and also to use the
grounds for any other purpose, looking
to the interest of Columbia and
Adair County.
We do not know of any enterprise
that would benefit the financial cOndi-
tiOn of Adair county equal to a loose
leaf house, nor one that would bring
more satisfactory results to the farm
ers of the county. Adair county, with
her surroundings, is in better condi-
ton to support loose leaf house than
some counties that already have them
established. We believe that stock in
such a concern would be a good invest
ment, and if house should be put up
it would certainly be great conven-
fence to the tobacco growers Of this
county, and also some of the adjoining
counties.
In order that the people of Adair
county may be given an opportunity
to express themselves as to the advis-
ability Of this enterprise, there will be
a public meeting at the court house
next Monday, July ?, at which time
the matter will be more fully explain
ed by those who are looking after the
interest of the farming class of this
section. Every man who wants to in
crease his bank accoun6 and do it
without removing his product to an
other county, should attend the meet
ing.
There is no particular demand here
now for building lots, and those who
recently made purchases at the Wake
field sale, are perfectly willing to
transfer them to a company that will
buy the grounds. The town and coun-
ty need the plot, not only for the
above named enterprise, bat it could
be used out of the season for handling
tobacco, for pleasure gatherings, etc.,
etc. Come to the meeting.
