K»»Y«t MalU "The title of ’squire, which is rerely beard in the North, Is still in vogue in the South. When a man is elected justice of the peace in Dixie he is 'squire, and although be may have subse quent titles his old friends and neighbors always refer to him ss •outre," sqld a Southern lawyer who la attending the sittings of a New York court for the first time. He had been introduced to several attorneys as 'Squire Blank, <H Alabama, and be was tsked by one whit the title sigl nififcd in his case. He said be was elected justice of the peace In his town in Alabama at the does of the Civil war, and al though be has been a State sen ator from his district several times,' sad is a major In a mili tary organisation, be is still ’squire. Our people," he continued, "are given to tacking a title to aay citimn who is at all active in politics, bat they have a sort of reverence for the old English esquire, which they abbreviate by dimiuating the first letter. "I knew a man who refused to be a candidate for the office of justice of the peace simply be cause he would have had to give 'op his professional title it he had been elected. He waa a re tired physician. He waa solicited to become a candidate by every voter in the town and was about to accept when it occurred to him that ha would be oalkd .•quife, and ha declined for that beaaon alone. He said he pre ferred to live and die as a doctor. "In some of the old grave yards in the South one may find the title squire carved cm the headstones which mark the rest ing place of the man who in life waa a justice of the peace. "While we are quite free in the bestowal of titles to the South, squire is never applied in an. honorary. sense. • To be a squire the man must have been elected to the office, which, according to the custom bestows the old English title. "It becomes second nature to the man who has the title to in troduce himself, where it be comes necessary, as Squire So-; -and-So. A man with any other title; except that of doctor, 'would not do so, but to aay ’I' am Squire Blank' is not consid ered bad form in tbe best so ciety." _ "Ml Bavls” Dollar tend la ‘TaUqa.O- Mwi la.
