COL. HUNT TO PRESIDE.
Invited By the Greenville Bar to
Preside at Common Pleas Court.

The following is from the Green
vile Daily News:
After an informal meeting of the
Bar association yesterday morning it
was decided to invite CO. w. H. Hunt
Of Newberry to preside over the COM
ing term of the court of common
pleas which convencs here November
81. A telegram was sent Col. Hunt
at once. and yesterday afternoon Oscar
Hodges, the secretary o. the associa-
ton, received an answer from Col.
Hunt. in which he expressed his viii
lingness to serve, but informed him
that Judge Gage was improving and
hoped to be able to fill his engage
ment here. Because of this, Govern
or Hayward will hold Col. Hunts ap-
pointment as special Judge open until
just before the court convenes, when
Judge Gage will decide whether his
condition permits him to attend Or
not.
The acceptance of Col. Hunt af-
fords the local attorneys much salts
faction and pleasure He is law
yer Of ability and has frequently act
ed as special Judge in several other
counties with tact. and fairness. He
is popular everywhere and the local
bar will be glad to welcome him
when the court convenes.
This is not more genuinely ad-
mired man in public life in the state,
however, than Circuit Judge Gage.
He is an ornament to the bench, and
his prolonged illness has given his
friends at every bar in the state no
little concern. No presiding officer
could be more free from prejudice
than Judge Gage Should he u1ti-
mately decide not to come, his de-
termination will be learned with gen
eral regret here. because of the per-
sonal regard and esteem in which he
is held.
There will be a great deal of work
at the coming term. There are num-
erous cases on the docket already for
trial in spite of the fact that the last
day for filing suits with the clerk of
court does not expire for several
days.
