Spartanburg, March 5.--The Spar tan'burg Bar association yesterday at ternoon unanimously Iridorsed Con gressiman Joseph T. Johnson for ap pointment as judge of the new federal district of western South Carolina. C. P. Sanders, president of the as sociation, said after the 'passage of the resolution that he supposed he did not have a vote, being presiding officer, but that i' hb did ie would vote not to indorse Mr. Jolinson. This attitude on his part, he said, did not indicate any hostilities or opposition to Congressman Johnson, but simply meant that lie did not believe the ac tion of the South Carolina delegation in recommending Mr. Johnson for ap pointment immediately upon the pas sage of the .bill savored of fairness to the lawyers of the new district, who, lie said, should be given an opportu nity to express themselves as to the appointment. In stating the purpose of the meet ing Mr. Sanderd said lie had no axe to grind whatever, and did not wish to b% understood as making a fight on Congressain1 Johnson or any reflec tion upon -his ability to fill the 1posi tion. le said, however, lie thought the association should take some ac tion askjng the bar associations of the district to join 'with tlienb in suggest Ing some one for appointment-"it may be Mr. Johnson," said Mr. ;San de0's. Opposition to such a course was de clared by I. A. Phifer, and I. C. Black wood declared that lie thought that anything short of indorsement of Mr. Johnson would be a slap in the face, and would be construed as a reflection upon his ability. Ie commended Mr. Johinson in high terms, and ended with a motion that the association in dorse him. The motion 'was adopted without an opiposing vote, and vras or dered transmitted to Congressman Johnson by telegraph.
