VOL. XXV MANNING, S. C., W EDNESDAY, FEBR UARY 8, 1011 NO. 26 GIVE HIS SIDE Eaje Cadwell Issues Swl- mrt C cerning His Positioa IN JUDESHIP MATTER He Says His Course Will be Can trolled by the Attitude of the Co lumbia Bar-Would Not Serve t'n lets Agreeable to the Menbers of It. Major James F. J. Cald1 el. of Newberry. who was app inted by Covernor Blease to hold the ap proaching Common Pleas Court for Richland county, the appoinitment of Major Caldwell followed the recom mendation of Ex-Attorney General Zay by the Supreme Court. calling fc.rth a spirited letter from Covernor Please to the Court. ;ave out the following statement on Friday In reference to the matter. In a calm and dispasmonate statement. pour Ing oil on the storm-tossed waters between the executive and the ju dicial departments. Major Caldwell says: Governor Blease called me by tel cphone about noon on Wednesday. the lst instant. and, on my answer ing. inquired if I would consent to hold the term of the Court of Con mon Pleas for Richland county, to begin on Monday. the 6th instant. I replied that I was willing to hold that court. but adied that I would not do so unless the appointment was vcceptabl' to the local bar. To this he replied trhat it was all right cr to that effect: and after saving some words by way o' kindly thought of me. he ceased to speak. His man ner indicated to my mind that he wished only to ask if It would suit me to hold the court. I was left to conjecture. whether the bar of Richland desired me. or whether they desired some other person. I had no means of knowing whether the I-ar had taken any action. or wheth tr the Justices of Supreme Court had made a recommendntion to ap point some one to hold the Court or whether if that Court had applied to. him to make an appointment, it l'ad recommended any particular person fer the appointment. I wrote Governor Blease. very soon, a letter. saying that I was willing to hold the Court. provided. either that the Bar of Richland de sired m. or that they had :nade no other choice. I was surprised to see In the p:pers that I had been ar pointed to hold that term of Coirt. And I have been more surpr!sed to read, in the papers that I have been commissioned to preside in that Court. Governor Blease is inaccu rate in saying that I have been com r--lssioned. The Secretary of State sent me, by mail received yesterday morning, the 2nd. a communication to. the effect that I had been appoint cd. and that on my sending to him (the Secretary of State) the oath on the back of his communication, made ssecording to law and in proper form, I should receive my commis sion. I have not made the oath re onired, and I have not receive a coin mission. A few minutes after hearing Gov Lirnor Blease over the telephone. I wrotje a letter to R. W. Shand. Esq.. and a letter to P H. Nelson. Es-1.. both of the Columbia bar, in each of wvhich letters I stated the terms on which I woutd accept the appoint ment. I had an answer from Mr. Shand last night. I have not heard from Mr. Nelson. I wrote Chief Justice Jones a per sonal lttter yesterday. He is at lib erty to give it such circulation as he may see fit. I did not know until yesterday that Mr. Ray had been selected by the Bar of Richland to preside over tue Court. or that his appointment bad been recommended by the Su premne Court Personally, *t does not matter to mne whether I hold that Court or not. I do not need pecuniary profit from that source, or from any other source-and as a matter of tact. n ith my way of livina. I should not apect to gain a dollar beyond my ,.penditure. And I have writter' Chief Justice Jones. "I have passe' Icyond that period of life when a man need care for rlorv." I do not deem it properly for me" to discuss the legali aspect of Lne case. I think it still less proper fr me to say one word about the per sonal-or partly personal -oantro iersy between the Chief Executtve '.ad the Supreme Court. The crux of the case-the point en which the matter hinges-is. to mne, the wish of the Richland Wtr. Without their co-operation I could c'o nothing. They might continue e--ery case. Or. if I should undertaket to try a case. I and all other persons 'muist feel uncertain what I could d'e tide. The protest. "coram non jud !ce." tright be raised atany moment from - the b~eginning to the' end of r~ny trial in the Circuit Court. and in the Supreme Court. And I w'll uever consent to hazard the rient of li'igants by my doubtful claimn to office. Governor nilense many have been recipitate to act, and not entirely oirtons towards the Supreme~ Court. but it is not for ine to ceg sr my !riendl who sought to do nv 1.cnor. and who. I am sure. thinks that he is e.sercis'nz authority zian 'him by the Cc,stitution and ine rtatute law of the State. Nor have T any.thing~ to saiy against the Jus t.<es of the :N:.reme Court. I have to -:b: th--t the-- hae don.' just wuta t'-ey thought they ought to l*-:ve done. I conclude, that the matter really tests with the Columbia Bar. I am sanguine that their wishes. expressed ,~dy or tomorrmw, will determine CHILD LABOR BILL I'ROItFl)S oRb ELIMINATION OF ALL EXI-.N'ThONS.
