J't Smith, veteran stone cutter and

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. ,
