William McE. Weldon
Today is the birthday anniversary of William McE. Weldon, one of the prominent attorneys of Richland county. The Weldon family has always been identified with the history and welfare of the city and Mr. Weldon is no exception. He graduated from the public schools in 1886 and from Amherst college in 1890. He took a course in law in the Columbia law school. In 1899, Mr. Weldon was elected city solicitor, being the first Republican elected to this office in 30 years. He has been interested in the incorporation of different industries of the city, aside from his law practice.
