FORESTER is NAMED
SOLICITOR OF LEE COURT
Succeeds Solicitor J. B. Hoyl, Who
Did Not Seek Reelection.

Did Not Seek Reelection.
Governor Dorsey on Thursday ap-
pointed E. L. Forester as solicitor
of the city court of Leesburg, in Lee
county, for the full term of two
wears. The appointment grows out of
a rather peculiar vacancy.
J. B. Hoyl, formerly the solicitor,
did not ask reelection in the general
election of 1918. A. H. Forrester's
name was placed on the ticket by his
friends and he was elected without
opposition. But when Solicitor Hoyl,s
term expired on January 1, 1920,
Mr.. Forester declined to qualify for
the office on the ground that he did
not have time to attend to the duties
This made it necessary for the gov
ernor to appoint solicitor to fill the
vacancy, and he did so by appointing
E. L. Forester, who is understood
to be kinsman of A. H. Forester
