Hardi Marion, of Chester, was elected a: A- sociate justice of the State suprem court to succeed the late Associai Justice George Williams Gage, o Chester, who died more than a yea ago. The election ended one of th longest deadlocks in the history o the State. Last year the genera assembly took nearly forty ballot and failed to elect. This year,ballot ing was begun at noon on Thursday and after several ballots the electioi followed on Thursday afternoon Judge Sh'ipp's name was withdraw] before the recess Thursday at ! o'clock, and in the afternoon Mr Carter's name was withdrawn, leav ing in the race only Senator Marioi and General Milledze'L.

He hhas been the pro. ponent of tax reform measures, an< has studied the tax situation closely He will not resign as a member of th< senate for the present. He was, o: course, elected for an unexpire< term, which will expire ddr;^ thi; year, and it will be necessary for thi; legislature to elect his successor.

It has been urged here tofore that the fiscal year ousht r< be changed so as to start on July 1 instead of Januaryl. and this \voul( cure the difficulty. Sustains Joint Committee The house killed the bill of Rep Resentative J. K. Owens, of Marlboro to dismiss the joint committee o: economy kind consolidation and tc prohibit any further expenditures ii its investigation. It was pointed ou that the joint committee had been au tomatically discharged upon the com pletion of its duties and the presenla tion of its report, and that to pas: Mr. Owens' resolution would be in ef feet a condemnation of the commit ftio'c u^finn TVip IrilHrxr nf fh."

(i(?nr"7"P Vv Gage of Chester, and 30 the curtair was rung dcVvn on one of the mosl dramatic election cotnests that the general assembly of South Carolina has ever witnessed. The decisior came on the eighth ballot yesterday, after the field of four original candidates had been narrowed down tc only Senator Marion and Gen. M. L, Bonham of Anderson, the final roll call stan-d!g Senator .Martin, e<5 votes, and General Bonham 72 votes. Other candidates in the race this year were: Jesse F. Carter of Bamberg:, whose name was withdrawn at the conclusion of the 7th ballot, and Judge S. W. G. Shipp of Florence, who retired from the contest after the taking the second roll call. The names of Gov. Rtibert A. Cooper and Representative Miller Clyde Foster oi Spartanburg were injected into the race on the fourth ballot, but neither caused any deflections from the ranks supporting the three leading candidates, Marion, Bonham and Carter. Senator Marion will serve oniy until August 1, 1922, when Associate Justice Gage's tern would have expired, unless reelected for the full term, beginning- August 1. The general assem'blv hrvs so far made nc provision for the holding of the election to fill the regular term and this, it is presumed, will come up when the joint assembly begins the task of filling the divers vacancies, occasioned by the expiration of the terms of sevon circfiit iudsres and various iiemb ers of state boards and commissions. Not to Resign Immediately Senator Marion will njt resign from the state senate to take up his now duties immediately, since the supreme court is not no'v in session, intending to contiue his work in the general assembly until the meeting oi the court calls for his taking of the oath of office as associate justice. "I extend to friends my hearty thanks for their support during the lor.? contest. I deeply appreciate then loyalty." said Senator Marion yesterday afternoon. "I will likely continue to serve in the senate for several weeks longer. The supreme court will not meet for some time and there is no necessity now for my resigning frcm the senate." After having failed to reach a deAn ,-:0 hi11r>ts at it? first ses V.OIV I U?1 v V - sion last year, the general assembly, meeting in joint assembly in the hall of the house of representatives at noon yesterday, again took up the election of Associate Justice Gage's successor, four of the original field of ten candidates being nominated. Jesse F. Carter of Bamberg, who had taken the lead on the first roll call Februay 18 and had held first place for 38 out of te S9 ballots taken last year, agrain tapped the list of candidates on the first roll call this year with 50 votes, a gain of 2 votes over his standing on the final roll call last year. General Bonham, who displaced Mr. Carter as the leader on the 38th ballot last year only to drop back - * - * i 1 11 11 to second place on tne aytn ron can, was also second on the initial roll call this year polling 45 votes hs compared with the 46 accorded him on the last ballot of the 1920 cession. Senator Marion was also in third place this year with 42 votes a gain of 12 vctes over his final standing las: year. Judge S. W. G. Shipp of Florence was fourth with 24 votes, the same number accorded him in the final roll call last year. Shipp Leaves Race i-na cnnnnri hallo}- General Bon ham and Mr. Carter were tied for first place with 47 votes each, while Senalo Marion had held his 42 votes polled on the opening: baliot. .lud^e Shipp had also failed to either lose or ?ain and from all appearances the joint :vss??iv.bly lw<i once ii'jfnin reaction rn<' | deadlock which had forced the abandonment of the balloting last session. | Senator D. Gordon Baker of Florence [then withdrew the name of Judge S. , | W. G. Shipp and or. the third roll call ' Mr. Carter jumped to 55 votes, the highest mark reached by the Bamberg lawyer in the 47 ballots taken at the ; two sessions; Senator Marion drawing from the number of former support - -- T. _ J C11. ; CT5 OX dUUge OIllJJp went lui/W nvji !place with ."33 votes, only two votes ahead of General Bonham. i i On the fourth ballot Senator Marii i: on Vint into the lead, Mr. Carter - slipping to second place and General ' Bonham to third place. Senator Mar: ion then held fne lead on the fifth and sixth '^allots while General Bonham i placed Mr. Carter for second place ' on the fifth roll call only to a^ain i 1+1,0 diop OcivjK into iniiu pi&cc # L sixth ballot. The joint assembly then j ! adjourned for the dinner recess, apf parently as far from election as when the first of the long series of roll calls ' were taken last year. With 80 votes necessary for an election Senator ' Marion had mustered only 62 votes on > the sixth roll call. Representative J. K. Owens of Bennettsville, just betore ' adjournment, attempted to secure un" animous consent to continue the bal' loting until an election was secured ' and when he failed in this endeavor ? .raised the point of order that the concurrent resolution under which the : joint assembly was meeting was word' ed so as to prevent adjournment at 2 ; o'clock if the hour came in the midst 1 of a roll call. The point of order u-ac; overruled bv President Wilson G ' Harvey cf the senate, who was pre' siding. Marion in Lead The seventh ballot was taken at 4 1 o'clock yesterday afternoon, as pro' vided in the concurrent resolution. ' Ssnato Marion being still in the lead ' with 64 votes, while General Bonham ' had moved up to second place again with C2 votes. Mr. Carter was third > with 29 vofcc3 ar.d Senator James B. ! ^Biack of Bamberg, after thanking the ' supporters of Mr. Carter for the - * - ' * L 1 compliment of their votes tnrougn wxe long race, then withdrew Mr. Carter's rame from the race and so ended the deadlock which had existed through 39 ballots ?ast year and seven ballots 1 this year. Senator Marion was then 5 elected on the eighth ballot .by a margin of 11 votes and the longest election race ever held in the joint assem| bly had reached its end. John Kardin Marion, who was born in Chester county, October 23, 1874, has earned distinctions of his c'.vn in addition to those of his ancestry. He * * " 1"' - ? '1 Ia-viI o -J , 1 /> o _ I acquired nis literary uuu ic^^i tion in the University of South Carolina, graduating: with the degree of A. B. and LL.B in 1893. At that time ' i ;he was only 19 years old, and it required a special act of the legislature to admit him to the bar. Returning ',to Chester, he formed a partnership to practice law with William A. Bari ber, then attorney general of South ' Carolina. In later years he has been momhpr nf the firm of Mar OCiUUt ~ - ' ion & Marion. Since 1902 Mr. Marion has been general counsel for the Carolina and Northwestern railway. His practice, always large and impor' tant, is about evenly divided between corporation and general cases. Tribute to Marion One of the emident members of the supreme bench of South Carolina has paid Mr. Marion the following 1 tribute: "He has been a student of the law all his mature years. He has 1 ample library of law (books. His pre- 1 paration is tireless and thorough. He ^ (is much of an advocate .before judge ' and jury. He has a good voice, pleas- ^ ing countenance, iis apt in anecdote and repartee. He is, perhaps, at his ^ best before the jury; but 'before the 1 court he is strong and helpful. His 1 private library of select volumes is full and he diligently studies them. He adds to the accomplishments of a lawyer the attainments of the scholar. He is a man of quiet but determined '< courage. His word is as good as his 1 bond, and he may be fully trusted in 1 all of the relations of life." t His active career has not foeen al- < jtogether law work. When the Span- 1 jish-American war broke out he went < in as second lieutenant of Company < P. First regiment, South Carolina in fantry, and afterward served in the < national guard, retiring with the rank * of lieutenant colonel in 1907. Dur- ^ ing the World war he gave a generous s part of his time to patriotic causes, < i i /r having charge of the speakers' bureau for the second Red Cross campaign, was county chairman of the united war work campaign and made | many speeches in behalf of all war measures and movements. Colonel Marion served as a member of the lower house of the general assembly from 1898 to 1900, and in 1918 was elected state senator from Chester county, serving throughout the sessions of 1919 and 1920. 'He has always :been greatly interested in education and for several years has been a member of the board of trustees of Chester. He is a member of the Associate Reformed Preslbyterian church, a teacher of the Bible class at Chester, and is affiliated with the Masonic order and the Knights cf Pythias.
