AlleN, J.,
concurring-: I concur in the opinion of the Court, except in the statement of fact that Miss Campbell signed the letter and receipt, and this is not material to the decision, and is referred to in order that it may not hereafter be cited as a precedent upon the right of a woman to hold the office of deputy clerk.
Miss Campbell did not sign the letter or the receipt, nor does it appear that she was deputy clerk, as is manifest from the evidence of K. E. Hoyle, who testified as follows: “The signature to the paper shown me — a letter — is the handwriting of T. N. Campbell, clerk of-the court. The other paper, a receipt for $5, part of this is in the handwriting of Miss Tannie Campbell, who is Mr. Campbell’s office deputy. *83It is signed T. N. Campbell, but it is in her handwriting. The other paper is a receipt for $63, in the handwriting of the same lady.”
She was simply an employee in the office, who wrote the letter and receipt for the clerk to sign.
