When the hintt^r fbr the eiectioi of a judKe for the new eircuU came v.p yeptenlay. Senator 'Padgett placed i nomination the name of .las. K. Peurifoy. This was sooomhatderTfep- resentatives Smith and, VaYn. and other seconds from other, members, and it looked as if Mr v Peurifoy, iWOUld he the- only candidate. Tie* ^llquse, it appeared, seemed, to think Timt W. H. Gruber was to be the nev- jitflgp and the announcemenf of Mr. Peurifov's name was somewhat of a surprise. , Mr. Dantzler. of Or.fnE< burg, st^.rt- "cd the haJ! rolling. He placedVn nomination tl’e name e*' Hon- Gyorge Warren, who immediately arose and declined, thanking his friends for the honor, hut, stating that he could not allow his name to be used, and that ho could not accept tho position, and that he was a supporter of Mr. Pejirifoy. Mr. Sellers and Senator Earle then •placed in nomination the name of Mr. Gruber. After a- bit more dis cussion th P ballotlag began, whlcji resulted: George Warren, 07: .la«. K.

Ho w ished the members to understand that ho did no seek r.nv office .-rnd hoped that he would m-t h" elected. Mr. Liles then stated that he felt th t Mr. \Va»-'o,, would mak 1 n patriotic sacrifice if elected and balloting pro ceeded’and the result was that Mr. Georce Warren was elected Judge of the r. *\v judicial circuit. The hallot stood. George Warren 81: J. E. Peurifoy. 46; W. B. Gruber. 21.
