Talk of New judicial Circuit to
Affect Marlboro-Con-

Senator T'al0crt's resolution al
lowing Il vote on prohibition by
the people, and should it carry, to
be enacted into law, the first Of
Novcmbcr-was lost tonight by Il
large majority.
The bill creating the 18th Judi
cial circuit passed the house today
this was deemed necessary in
order to relieve the congcstcd
dockcts, especially i'll Columbia,,
and the Senate quito likely will
pass it. In case of the 18th cir
cult, Capt. DeNorc, of Edgclicld,
will be elected Judge of that cir
cult. Gov. j, G. Sheppard, would
not accept the place.
1t is stated by some Of the Jud-
gcs that we need in this State 10
circuits instead of fl in order to
try the cases and keep up with the
dockctcd business Of the courts.
An effort will now be made to ere
ate the 10Th circuit-and the
change will effect Marlboro as fol
lows:
Bird Circuit, Clarendon, Lee,
Sumter. and williamsburg coun-
ties.
4th Circuit. Chesterfield, Oar
lington and Marlboro, and when
Pee Dec county is formed, with
Dillon as the county scat, that
would be included in the 4th cir
