JUDGE ERWIN ENTERS
UPON TH|RT|ETH YEAR
AS RECORDER OF CIV
VETERAN SERVANT INDUCTED IN
OFFICE BEFORE CITY
FATHERS.
INTERESTING CAREER
Has Been Judge, Member Of Board of
Education, Senator of the State and
Justice cf the Peace During His
Long Public Service. a..

Judge E. E. Erwin was duly sworn
into the office of City Recorder OF Co,
iumbia Friday night by Thomas B.
forgey, at the meeting of the Board
of Mayor and Aldermen Friday night.
Saturday the Judge entered upon
his thirtieth consecutive year in
this position, and at the conclusion of
the present term which lasts for two
years, the Judge will have served the
city thirty-one years, as it's city judge,
and head of the finances.
Whether or not he has made faith
'ul and efficient official is matter
or the public to Judge. He has been
criticized by the opposing factions
He has been made the issue in many
hot city political campaigns. But the
Judge has always won out. He has
zone in with boards that were SEEM
ingly elected upon the plant to "Get
Rid of Erwin" but alas the Judge is
still at his post.
He is one of the most capable book
keepers in the city. There is not an
other man in the city, that is as thor
oughly posted on municipal affairs as
Judge Erwin, and sure there are not
any set of men that know and under
stand the financial standing and con-
dition of the city of Columbia, half so
well as Judge Erwin.
During the greater portion of the
time that Judge Erwin has been City
Recorder, he has also been member
of the County Court, which place he
fills equally as we'll as that of City
Recorder He also served in the
State Senate. In the Legislature,
like he was. in the county court, he
was factor, and was always given
profound attention when he took the
floor to address the body.
Judge Erwin feels proud of his rec
ord, and he is justified in doing so.
He has served and is still serving the
people on the globe.
