However, work ers cm the 1911 extension contract faned to find the tablet. In connection with the compara tively recent history of the court house, which is located in the center of th public square as originMly, it is interesting to note that C. C.^Fea- therstone. Laurens native, is' now resident judge of this circuit, and that R. A. CcKiper, also a Laurens man. now a federal judge, served as first solicitor of the 8th judicial cir cuit, 1905-16. Clerks of bbuirt since 1876 include Martin Babb, G. Wash Shell, John H. Wharton, John F. Bolt, C. A.~Power, Thomas W. Ben nett, John D. Davis and Vic R. Flem ing, incumbent. But B. B. Smith of the Gray Court section, holds the title for the longest service as a court house attache. For 49 years he has served as court house caretaker and is generally regarded as an institu tion in this connection. , 6 imW LINES NOR ’41 ‘ 3 sobs , 3 xmaii ARBADinStyling!
