SMITH MAY RETIRE SOON Washington, Dec. 16?South Caro inians visiting Washington bring the eport that H. A. M. Smith, federal udge of the Eastern district of South Carolina, contemplates an ear y retirement on account of age. Should Judge Smith resign prior to ilarch 4, President Wilson would in ill probability nominate a Democrat is his successor. While the /lominee vould probably fail of confirmation, here is little chance of a Democrat succeeding to the bench should Pres dent-elect Harding be chief executive >n the date of the resignation. In this connection, members of the south Carolina delegation point out he fact that the Republicans have eturned to power and aspiring Dem ocrats might as well understand that here is nothing in the cupboard for hem. It is said to be entirely prob ible, for instance, that President sleet Harding will be inaugurated vith W. R. Bradley, deputy, acting is collector of internal revenue in the South Carolina district, vice Former jov. D. C. Heyward, resigned. While >ne or more Democrats in South Car >lina have let it be known that they vould accept the office, the under tanding is that the president will lot attempt to make an appointment. Likewise, there is said to be no :hance of the senate confirming J. William Thurmond, attorney for the iVestern district, despite the with Irawal of opposition on the part aof Sferiator Dial. The senate is inclined o do nothing until Mr. Warding ^er nits it to know his pleasure. v, The South Carolina delegation in :ongress expects J. Duncan Adams of Spartanburg, Republcan, to be the jower in South Carolina in the mat er of naming federal officeholders. rOUNG MAN KILLED AT WARE SHOALS \ged Man Shoot* Painter To Death And Then Surrenders Greenwood, Dec. 16??Jim Shan lon, paipter, was shot and instantly tilled this afternoon about 2 o'clock 5y B.
