MUCH DAMAGE WAS WROUGHT BY FREEZE Telephone and Telegraph Poles and Wires Prostrated by Ice King. Light Service Interrupted. The heavy sleet and rain storm of last Friday night caused much damage to the wire service of this city, many telegraph and telephone poles and wires having been prostrated by the heavy coating of ice, which put both services out of commission, practically, for a day or so. The electric light service was also interrupted and the city was in darkness Friday night. The telegraph service was resumed Monday, and the local telephone lines interrupted are being rapidly repaired. The freeze also injured orchards and timber, and on Saturday travel on the roads was difficult, owing to the ob struction of trees and limbs, some of the rural letter carriers being unable to make their usua1 trips.

NEW JUDICIAL CIRCUIT WANTED Bill Provides for Eleven Circuits, Comi ties of Saluda, Lexington and Edge* field to Form New One. Columbia, January 31.?A few years ago the number of judicial circuits in this State was increased from eight to ten. Now, in view of the growing business of the courts, it is proposed to make an additional circuit, but the change will not alter the present ar rangement very materially, except to lighten the burden of the courts in the 5th and the 8th circuits. The bill was introduced by Representative Tonvp kins, of Richland, in which county the congestion of the court docket is the worst in the State, and the Judiciary Committee, to whom the bill was re ferred, has reported a substitute bill. The changes to be made by the pro posed bill would be as follows: Lexington and Edgefield are taken from the 5th circuit and Saluda from the 8th, and the three counties form the new 11th circuit. The 5th circuit, now composed of the counties of Rich land, Kershaw, Lexington and Edge field, will consist only of Richland and Kershaw, adjoining counties closely connected by rail and wagon road, and the work of the one county of Richland is exceedingly heavy. The 8th circuit, now composed of the populous counties of Abbeville, Lau rens, Greenwood, Newberry and Saluda, is left still with four counties, only Sa luda being taken away. The other circuits are not disturbed. Under the proposed bill the judges would not be disturbed, as Judge Gary, of Richland, would remain judge of the 5th circuit and Judge Klugh, of Abbe ville, would remain judge of the 8th. A new judge would have to be elected from either Saluda, Edgeflold or Lex ington for the new 11th circuit. Solicitor Cooper, of the 8th, would not be disturbed, his home being in Laurens; but Solicitor Timmerman, of the 5th, would be taken out of his cir cuit, his home being in Lexington. However, all solicitors are elected this year, and this would make no legal dif ficulty as to tenure. February Forecasts From ==== The Reliable Store.
