ATTORNEY GENERAL
 ID BECOME JUDGE
Governor Appoints J. 0. Smith to Jefferson Circuit Bench.
 Davis to Succeed Smith

Montgomery, February 5.--tSpecial.)-- Elected on the wave that swept the pres ent administration into office in the fall
 of 1918, J. c. Smith, attorney general for Alabama, has been appointed to and, has accepted the office of circuit judge in the Tenth judicial circuit (Jefferson9,
 where q vacancy was created by the death of the late Judge John c. Pugn. The announcement was made at noon to- day by Governor Kilby and is effective
 next Tuesday February 8.
 The appointment of General Smith as a Jefferson circuit judge was closely fol-
 lowed by the statement that Harwell G.
 Davis, at present state fuel admlnlstra-
 tor, and formerly an assistant attorney
 general, had been selected to succeed 10
 the attorney generalship. No appoint-
 nent was made to the office of fuel ad-
 ministrator.
 Attorney General Smiths administra-
 tion of the office with which he was charged has been marked by the ability
 with which the various and complex leg al matters that have come before the state have been handled. Although a
 Montgomery county man he was before becoming candidate for attorney gen. eral of Alabama, practicing attorney Of
 Birmingham, where he resided number
 of years. His legal training and exper-
 fence arc regarded as well qualifying
 him for the office to which he now is appointed.
 The new attorney general, Haxws}l G. Davis, is of Gadsden, veteran or the World war, where he served with dis tinction and for which he was cited by
 Gen. John J. Pershing. During his serv- ice overseas he was dangerously wound ed by a shell fragment but has wholly recovered from this. At present he holds a commission as major in the judge ad- vocate generals department, Alabama national guard As an assistant attorney general of the state, MT. Davis has aided in pressing some of the biggest legal fights in which the state has been in- terested, and is considered one of the abest legal authorities in Alabama. Appointment by Governor Kilby as a.- torney general of Harwell G. Davis, Tor mer assistant attorney general and fuel administrator, will not make it necessary 1 for the chief executive to fill the va cancy in office of fuel administrator al | this time. The office of state fuel ad- ministrator was suspended from active operation February 1. This suspension was carried out because of the fact that an emergency sufficient to warrant its continuance did not exist.
