GREENVILLE, Jan. 6.-Greenville county voters will soon have another opportunity' to say whether or not they prefer to have a new court house or to maintain tba old structure, whleh for years has been the object of all manner of denunciation. Grand Jury after grand jury has inveighed against the building, and several times the judges have, taken occasion to add to the remarks of tho grand jury. It waa decided at a meeting ot the county executive committee held Monday morning to Jet the voters ea press their choice In this matter on January 19, when they will also vote for a master In equjty. The committee met to consider the calling of a primary in order that a master In equity might be nominated.
