Anniston Man Named Pro
! bate Judge of Calhoun
County Yesterday
# _
Birmingham friends of J. .1. Arnold are
elated in that he has received the ap
| Pointment at the hands of Governor
O'Neal to the position of probate judge
, of Calhoun county, in the contest for
the vacancy, caused by tire death of
tire late Judge \\ . H. Cooper. Birming
ham has been deeply interested. Willie
the opinion lias l>eeii gereal that Arnold
i would receive the appointment, the fact
that the governor gave serious consider
ation to the claim of John S. Mooring
served to make the situation one of ex
citement.
Judge Arnold is one of the lew men
who have been appointed twice by one
governor to the same position. In 1911.
as is remembered. Emmet F. Crook,
then probate judge of Calhoun, resigned.
The legislature, in which Mr. Arnold was
a representative, and the floor leader
of tlie administration, received the ap
pointment to the vacancy. At the ex
piration of that term he was opposed
and defeated fop re-election by W. ff
Cooper. Two weeks ago Judge Cooper
died in Birmingham, and yesterday Gov
ernor O'Neal against appointed Judge
Aron Id to the vacancy.
A warm fight was made for and
against Judge Arnold. John s. Moor
ing, now in the employ of the state, was,
in the gubernatorial campaign of 1910,
one of the staunchest supporters that
Governor O'Neai claimed in Calhoun
county. Tie was an applicant for the
position and his friends rallied to his
support.
VatMsnll.. 4 1. C .
. •.iHuugm iu near
on the governor the fact that whereas he
himself, carried Calhoun county over
Col. H. 8. I). Mallory by a majority .if
about .'WO. his appointee, Judge Arnold.
In seeking re-election, was defeated, after
a strenuous and exciting campaign bv a
majority which ranged between jin) and
300 votes.
Ah to whether or not .Judge Arnold,
admittedly eminently qualified for. the
position, could, after the completion of
the term of the late Judge Cooper, held
his own against a formidable opponent,
was. it is understood, one of the ques
tions given consideration by the ap
pointive power.
In connection with the Calhoun situa
tion, Interesting gossip was to the effect
that had W. i. McCaa, a prominent res
ident of Anniston, expressed a desire for
tlie prohate Judgeship, lie would have re
ceived that ■plum."
Mr. McCaa. as is remembered, man
aged O'Neal's campaign In Calhoun
county, but since that time, according
to gossip, lias had a break with the chief
executive. It is understood that Mr. Mc
Caa applied for the Judgeship following
I lie resignation of Judge Crook, and that
when tile governor named Mr. Arnold,
the old friendship became strained.
T.ater, McCaa was appointed to serve on
tlie governor's staff, hut tills appoint
ment was declined.
Mr. McCaa, who Is also one of the
best known men of the state, was not
an applicant for service during the un
expired term of Judge Cooper, although,
as stated, It Is generally said that had
he applied, he would have been favored
with the position.

Montgomery, August 21.—(Special.)
Attorney General Robert C. HfHekell
left tonight for Huntsville, where lie
will represent the state at the bearing
tomorrow before Federal Jiulv.s W. I.
Grubb and David D. Shelby on the ap
plication of the Louisville and Nash
ville Railroad company for a super
sedeas to hold up the order of the
railroad commission for a 2^» cents
passenger rate pending an appeal t.o
the United States supreme court. The
attorney general received notice of the
hearing ibis morning.
The application of the railroad com
pany for a supersedeas is somewhat
similar to the course pursued some
weeks ago when the carrier asked for
a restraining order pending the de
termination of tile case *by three fed
eral judges.
Whether or not the railroad com
pany will win in its application for an
other restraining order is a matter
ahout which there has been considera
ble speculation, though lawyers believe
that the court will deny the application.
Attorney General Brickell will prob
ably be assisted in presenting the
state's case by Judge Samuel D. Weak
ley of Birmingham, who is The speca.it
counsel for the state In the, railroad
rate litigation.

Resemble a Camel
Western sheep. according' to the
United States forest service, outdo cam
els by long odds in the matter of
going great lengths of time without
water. Sheep on I lie Nebo national for
est in Utah go four and a half months
without water except ror such mois
ture as they get from the dew and
the juices of forage plans, says an
exchange. —
Crazing sheep on a rang” entirely
destltue of water is a recent innova
tion due to the increasing demand for
forage and the efforts of the forest
officer to find a place on the forest
ranges for all the stock that can safely
he admitted. The area on the Nebo
which has now proved usable by sheep
Is high and rocky, a portion of it being
above timber line, and is has neither
springs nor streams of sufficient size
or accessibility to be used for stock
watering purposes. The grazing sea
son lasts from June 15 to October 31,
and during this period of four and a
half months the animals do noi get a
drink.
Under such conditions, however, tin
sheep have done extremely well, and
last year's lambs from this range had
an average weight at the cose of tin
season of 68 pounds on the Chicago
market, which was rather above th^
norma weigkht from that vicinity.
In one area on the Targhee fores'
in Idaho sheep get water ory tvvi < I
during the four months' summer graz-I
Ing season. There is no water on the
range, hut the sheep are driven to .i
nearby stream owed down the moun
tain side. Lambs from this ranr
w eighed 65 pounds on the Chicago mar
ket.
