SIMS AND WESTON GET FEDERAL PLUMS? Named to be Sent in by President \V 11 - sou ?or MurshalHhip mid District Attorney ship. Washington, Sept. 20.?By the se lection of James L. S?iib, of Orango burg for United States marshal, and Francis H. Weston, or Columbia, for the United States attorney for the district or South Carolina, the Admin istration has ended a long contest be tween Senators 'I'll I man and Smith tor the two principal Federal olllcers In that State. Messrs, Sims and Weston were agreed upon late today by President Wilson and Attorney General McRey nolds and the two nomlnatlonH are ex pected to go to the Senate Monday. Solves Problem? In choosing of Senator's Smith's can didate lor district attorney ami Sena tor Tillman's man for marshal, the Ad ministration feels that it has satis factorily solved the problem present ed by the contest between the two South Carolina Senators. While Senator Tlllman urged the claims of Mr. Sims for marshal, he was also anxious to have .1. William Thurmond, Esq., of Edgcflcld, appoint ed dls'.rlct attorney. Senator Smith concentrated Iiis offorts in behalf of Mr. Weston for the district attorney ship and, it appeals, remained passive as regards thennarslialshlp. Mr. Sims is recognized as a supporter of both Senators Tlllman and Smith. Merely Choice of Men. Department of Justice officials had given favorable reports on the quali fications of both aspirants for district attorney and it serins that the mat tor resolved itself into merely a choice of nun. It is said, however, that one of the reasons for the selection of .Mr. Wes ton was to show indirectly that the Administration would favor the re election of Senator Smith, who Koes before the. voters <>r South Carolina in UlO primary next August. Mr. James 1.. Sims is the editor of the Times and Democrat and has re sided at Orangeburg for over thirty years. Ho lias always been a consist ent .sup.toiler of Senator Tlllman and was one of the first editors in the State to espouse the cause of Woodrow Wil son in the race for tbo (Democratic Presidential nomination. Mr. Sims is about CO years of age. Tho Hon. Francis H. Weston Is a prominent attorney of Columbia. He has long been active in South Caro lina politics and is at present Senator from Itlchland county. May he Continued Monday. Attorney Gonoral McReynolds this afternoon transmitted to the White House the recommendation Of Francis If. Weston, of Columbia, to be district attorney of South Carolina to succeed Fi nest F. Cochran and .lames L. Sims, of Orangeburg, to bo United states marshal to succeed J. Duncan Adams. Tho resignation of Cochran and Adams have been in hand for sonn? weeks ami will take effect upon the con firmation of their successors. It is believed that the President will send the nomination of Messrs Weston and Sims to the Senate Monady, as he held a conference on tho subject with the Attorney General yesterday at the White House and is presumed to have had reached an agreement with Mr. McReynolds as to what would be done. Mr. Weston, who will be nominated for the district attornoyship, was en dorsed by Senator Fd. Smith. Senator Tlllman endorsed J. Win. Thurmond, of Fdgcfleld, who, at one time, seemed likely to receive the nomination, it is understood that the two Senators agreed at the outset that in the event of the President's naming either Wes ton or Thurmond, neither Senator' would oppose confirmation. As to Mr. Sims Senator Tlllman at first endors ed him. but recently withdrew his en dorsement. Senator Smith never en dorsed Sims, but agreed not to oppose ills confirmation. This being the case tho recommendation of Sims by the Attorney General has no official Sen-i atorlal backing at this time.

M. and a verdict was reached at 4:30 this af ternoon. Two arguments were made this morning. 0. M. Mflrd spoke for fifty minutes for the defense. !!< was fol lowed by Solicitor George Bell Tim merman who spoke for forty-five min utes. All of the arguments were strong presentations of each side of the case. Judge Wilson delivered a clear and concise charge and. in the opinion of those who heard it, was absolutely fair and '.inpartial. The court clearly out lined the law governing every phase of the ease, laying great stress upon the point of a man protecting himself in his own home. Immediately after the verdict the de fendant, with his wife, child and other near relative.,, left the court room, Young (Junter was visibly affected and showed his appreciation of the jury's; verdict.

Rawl, near Lexington, Many witnesses were sworn on both sides this afternoon. The State is trying to show thai the killing was entirely un provoked. The defence claims that I Uli was advancing on Williams witli a heavy scantling when he was fired lipo n'by Williams. The case will not be concluded before tomorrow. There are still three other murder cases on the docket, and the 'Court will continue throughout next week. ********* ******* Resolutions of Respect to the Mentor) of BROTHER li. A.
