ZIMMERMAN RESIGNS
AS SOLICITOR
SUCCEEDED BY COL. T. c. CALlI-
SON-WISHED TO GIVE Sue
CESSOR CHANCE TO PRE-
PARE FOR COURT.

After serving sixteen years, marked
by many brilliant victories Tor the
State, George Bell Zimmerman on
Saturday last handed in his resigna-
ton as solicitor of the eleventh judi
cial circuit. Mr.. Zimmerman took
this step in order that his successor
might not be handicapped in the con-
duct of his office, as his term of office
''v ould have expired in the midst OF
the next term of court.
First elected at the age of %, when
the circuit was comprised Of the
counties of Lexington, RichlanG, ker-
shaw. Edgefield and Saluda. Mr.. Tim
norman has succeeded himself at the
close of each term, having been re-
elected twice without opposition. AL
though one of the youngest lawyers in
the State and inexperienced at the
bar, Mr.. Zimmerman soon made his
mark and his entire record has been
one of the most notable Of any prose-
cutting attorney in the State.
Besides the splendid record he has
made as solicitor, Mr.. Zimmerman
has been equally as successful in
practice on the civil side of the court;
and it was largely due to his extern
sive practice in the civil courts that
he declined to offer for solicitor for
|another term in the primaries last
lsummer.
Mr.. Zimmerman has announced
that he will continue to practice law,
with Lexington as his headquarters,
he and Col. G. T. Graham having
formed a co-partnership.
The New Solicitor.
Col. T. c.. Callison, the new solici-
tor, comes into Office we'll prepared
for his arduous duties. Though COM
paratively a young man, he has been
successful in his profession and has
won a warm place in the confidence
and esteem of the people Of LeNinS-
ton.
Col. Callison who is a member OF
Governor Cooper's staff, brings to his
work a splendid equipment. He is
graduate of the university Of South
Carolina, where he took high stand.
He has the unique distinction of never
having lost a criminal case in which
he has appeared alone. Col. Callison
is we'll and favorably known in the
other counties Of the circuit. He was
born in old Edgefield in what is now
McC Cormick county and enjoys wide
acquaintance in Saluda county.
The new solicitor will have his
hands full to begin with in tSZ term
of court which convenes Monday
