G. Carlton last Sunday.
 Before the end of Friday Gover- nor Kilby had conferred with friends of three applicants for the position and had announced that no appoint ment would be made until a delega- ton representing another applicant has been given an opportunity to pre- sent arguments.
 Delegations came in the interest of J. W. Pittman, warden of the state prison at Camp <Kilby; Dr. c. c. F'argasqon, chairman of the demo- cratic executive committee of Tal- lapoosa county, and E. A. Coley, well known citizen. At the tele- graphic request of friends of Percy Oliver. prominent attorney of Tai- lapoosa county. the governor in- formed all callers that an engage ment had been made with MT. Oliver's party and that no appointment would be made until each person had been given time in which to offer reasons for his appointment.
 Governor Kilby would not discuss gossip about an extra session of the legislature which has been revived to some extent in recent days be- cause of the activities of the state highway commission and the state harbor commission. which have been preparing bills for submission to the legislature in the event of an extra session.
 T am not in thorough touch with the situation now because of my ab- sence, and it will be necessary for me to go over matters in the office before commenting on anything that may have occurred in the state" said the governor when inquiries were made about the report How ever, the governor did not indicate to any persons who called upon him Curing the day that the highway commission and harbor commission had further information than they had when the governor announced on August 23 that he saw no reason for any immediate session of the legis- lature,
