Williams, Democratic Candidate for District Attorney James Lawrence Williams, the Democratic nominee for District Attorney, was born in Gettysburg, Penna., Nov. 29, 1869, and is consequently 30 years of age. He is the third son of M.F. and Sarah (Utz) Williams, and has resided in this county all his life. His father moved from Gettysburg to Straban township in1883 and the following year to the old Herbst farm in Cumberland township, near town. Mr. Williams received his education in the common schools of this county, the Gettysburg High School and the Preparatory Dept. of Gettysburg College. He read law with H. A. Kitzmiller, Esq., and was admitted to the Adams County Bar May 12, 1892, and to the Superior Court March 11, 1896. Mr. Williams has always been active in Democratic politics. He served as Secretary of the Democratic County Committee in 1896 and 1897 and has always used his best efforts for the success of the various tickets. In regard to the office of District Attorney to which Mr. Williams aspires, we need only say that he is in every way fitted, both as to ability and as to character, to have entrusted to him the public's cause in any matter in which it may be concerned.
