ed into elections 10 fill the vacancy In the AS:
sociate Justiceship created by the resignation
OF Judge Haskell; and the vacancy in tho
Chief Justiceship to be made next July or
August by the expiration OF the term of Chief
Justice Willard. Gen. Samuel McGowan of
Abbeville was chosen to fill the former va.
cancy, and Judge McIver, one OF the present
Associate Justices, to the latter.
The many friends of Gen. MCGOWAN are
much gratified at his elevation to so high q
position, feeling assured he will fill 1t with
that distinguished ability and devotion TO

Gen. McGOwan's Election.

It seems that the election of General Nc.
Gowan as Associate Justice Of the Supreme
Court, has given general satisfaction through
out the State. He has devoted his life to the
study and practice of the law, and when he
was set q young man, he took q stand ut the
bar which 1t took others years of labor and
study to reach. No ono who knows him will
doubt for a moment that he will adorn the
high and responsible position to which he has
been promoted. South Carolina has no trucr
son, or one to whom she would sooner turn
with confidence in the hour OF difficulty or
danger.-Columbiu IeU1nun.
