FRIDAY, F7BRUARY 17, 1905
Hon. George E. Prince, of Ander
son, and Hon. R. Withers Memmin
ger, of Charleston, have been chosen
judges of the new judicial circuits
created by the present general assem
bly. Mr. Prince has been in public
life for a number of years and is well
known in Newberry and throughout
the state. He is a lawyer of ability
and has the entire confidence of those
who know him. He was opposed by
Mr. Thos. P. Cothran, of the Green
ville bar, whose legal ability is also
recognized throughout the state, and
his. election to the high- position of
judge over so worthy an opponent
shows the confidence reposed in him
by the members of the general assem
bly.
Mr. Memminger, who was chosen
judge of the Charleston circuit, is not
as well known in this section of the
state as Mr. Prince, but his unanimous
endorsement by his fellow-members
of the Charleston bar is proof of his
ability to wear worthily the judicial
ermine.
The Greenwood Index is already
advocating the election of a member
of the Greenwood bar as. solicitor for
the new circuit in which- Newberry,
Greenwood, Abbeville and Saluda
have been placed. The Index says:
"The bill which places Greenwood in
the district with Saluda, Abbeville
and Newberry carries with it a need
for an election for the solicitorship.
If the Greenwood bar will endorse
one man-that man a good one, the
best to be obtained-there i no rea
son why we will not furnish he pro
secuting officer for the district. Wher
ever the new officer is to come from,
we trust he will prosecute-and with
all the energy in him." We join the
Index in trusting that new new offi
cer "will prosecute-and with all the
energy in him," but, for our part, we
can see no reason why the new solici
tor should not come from Newberry.
Meetings have been held in various
townships. throughout the county and
delegates elected to the convention
which meets in Newberry tomorrow
to discuss the matter of a reduction in
the cotton acreage in Newberry coun
ty this year. The interest which has
been manifested insures a large at-*
tendance at the meeting. We are
glad the meeting is to be held. Agita
tion will do good. The cotton acre
age in Newberry connty ought- to be
reduced and the farmers ought to
raise more supplies at home. Follow
ing the agitation we will need action.
The house of representatives on
* Wednesday night voted down a res
olution, offered by Mr. K. D. Edwards,
of Spartanburg, that the use of the
hall of the house of representatives be
denied for the state ball and other
gatherings of such a nature.
We desire again to call attention to
the rule of thi's office that no anony
mous com.munications will be publish
ed. If it is so desired the 'names will
not be published with the communi
cations, but this office desires to know
the authors of communications wvhich
appear in the columns of the Herald
and News.
