NEW JUDGES FOR
■Brunswick Circuit Divided
and Many Changes Will
Be Made.
Wayeroas, Ga., Aug. 16.—With the
passage of the bill Introduced by Rep
resentative Drawdy. of Clinch county,
providing for the division of the Bruns
wick Judicial circuit, and the certainty
of Ita being signed by Oovemor Brown,
there Is considerable Interest In the
probable changes among the present
officials.
The new law will go Into effect Jan
uary 1. >*I0. It la understood that
Judge T. A. Parker, who will prealde
over the fall terms of court In all of the
ten counties affected by - the change,
will resign his position as judge of the
Brunswick circuit about that time find
will aak Governor Brown for appoint
ment to the aame position In the new
Waycroee circuit. •
It le not thought that Judge Porker
will have any oppneltlon, tbo'the name
of J. W. Quincy, of Douglas, has been
mentioned In this connection. The pres
ent solicitor, J. H. Thomas, of Baxley,
will serve both the Brunswick and the
Wayeroas circuits for the remainder
of Ms term of office, which will expire
January 1, 1*11.
The present official stenographer.
Colonel C. L. Redding, who has served
since the resignation of Colonel .6. K.
Memory, will likely continue hla con
nection with ona or the other of the
circuits, the relief from part of the
work Involved leaving him opportunity
to attend to his law practice. In the
event that Judge Parker staya with the
Wayeroas circuit a Judge will have to
be appointed for the remaining twelve
months of the term for the Brunswick
Circuit, and it Is understood here that
either Judge Bolling Whltffeld or C. B.
Conyers, of Brunswick, will get the ap
pointment.
