We can think of no man in South Carolina who at the moment has hea vier tasks than Solicitor Leatherwood —and no man who has equal opjmr- tunities. Of all officers the public i.s most dependoTit upon the solicitor. To him is delegated by the people the unpleasant duty of ‘‘casting the fir?t stone.” He is ele<‘ted bv the people under our system, and if he be no shirker he must and does make ene-! mies abundantly.
