GAsToN WILL RESIGN.
Several Men Spoken of for Probate
 Judge of Butler.

Greenv1lIe, Dec. 12.-(Special.)- correspondent interviewed Judge Gaston this morning in reference to his connec- ton with the Higdon-Jelks case of which the newspapers have had much to say within the past few days.
 Judge Gaston said that he is not em- ployed in the case, as his co-partnership with Hon. J. F. Stallings in the practice of law would not begin until he had re- signed the office of probate judge He said he understood that MT. Stallings had been employed by Colonel Higdon, but that the statement in the papers that he was connected with the matter was erroneous, as he would have no connec- tion whatever with Mir. Stalings in the practice of law until such time as he saw proper to resign, which would not be until about May 1.
 Nothing definite is being said yet as to Judge Gaston's successor. but there are several spoken of as possible aspirants for the office. Among them are Judge L. NJ. Lane, Captain A. E. Gamble and H. G. Lampley and probably others.

something and induce others to
pay the bill, that they will hold
