Featherstone, Baker and Me(hee Call.
ed Upon Department of Justice.
Washington, June 23.-Mr. C. C.
Featherstone, of Greenwood, one of
the best known lawyers in upper
South Carolina, was here today and
with Kenneth L. Baker, and S. 11. Mc
Ghee, also of Greenwood, called
at the Department of .Justice to lay
claims to the judgeship of the Western
District before Attorney G neyal Pal
mer.
While Mr. Palmer made no state
mtent as to what would be (lone in
this matter and received the South
Carolinians with courtesy, it is under
stood that the recommendation
which he will make may not be fur
ther delayed after the two South Caro
lina senators have told him who
th y vlh named for this place.
The P'rc*dent will be returning to
the United States at a very early date
and it woubIt not be surprising were
the nominatin announced very soon
after his arrival here.
It is probable that had the old

was a party, but to which Senator
Dial w'ou1ld not sulIs cribe. placing the
apopointment of judgf s in the hands
of the senators not been albrogated.
