Columbia, Jan. 12.-The Joint as
sembly of the two Houses today made
the following elections of Circuit
Judges:
For the End circuit, Hayne f. Rice,
OF Aiken, to succeed the late Robert
Aldrich.
For the 4th circuit, Thomas II.
Spain, of Darlington, to succeed AS
sociate Justice r. c. Watts.
For the Sth circuit, Frank B. Gary.
of Abbeville, to succeed the late Judge
J. c. Klugh.
For the 18th circuit, Judge j. w.
DeVore, of Edgefield, reelected.
For the 18th circuit, Judge S. w.
G. Shipp, of Florence, reelected.
The first two elections were full
Of spirit and vim and the contest be-
tween Mr.. Edward McIver and Mr..
Spain, to succeed Judge Watts, for
the unexpired term, was one Of the
sharpest and most spirited contests
that has been seen in many years.
On the first ballot the result was a.
tie. There was a bit Of feeling over
what appeared to be delay in the
announcement Of the result, and
while the result was pending several
Senators came in and recorded their
vote. The late arrivals added to the
vote of Mr.. McIver and there was
more or less resentment over what
some thought to be a purposed de-
lay but each vote stood on it's own
bottom and when once recorded, un-
der the rules, cannot be changed un-
til the next ballot. On the second
ballot Mr.. Spain won by a majority Of
26 votes, although on the first ballot
it was tie.
In the race for the Judgeship from
the End circuit there was a sharp
contest, which narrowed down to
Senator Bates. Of Barnwell. and Mr..
Hayne F. Rice, Of Aiken On the
second ballot, when things simmered
down. the vote stood Bates sc, Rice
"a, Miley 10, Davis 8. On the third
and final ballot the vote stood Rice
SO and Bates So, and by this vote Mr..
Hayne +. Rice, at present a member
Of the State board Of education, was
elected to succeed Judge Aldrich.
