Charlotte, Aug. 1—Judge James L. Webb of Shelby, with four years yet to serve on his present term as a judge of Superior Court, said in Charlotte Saturday that he will not be a candidate for re-election again, but will exercise his privilege of retiring and doing emergency judicial work at the end of his term.
The State law provides that jurists who have been on the Superior Court bench for 20 years and have reached a certain age may retire on a salary, holding themselves available for special terms.
Judge Webb is one of the oldest in point of service of North Carolina jurists. His health, he said, is excellent, but he feels that after four more years of the Superior Court circuit grind, he will be entitled to lighter work. He is assigned to the Greensboro district until January 1 but has been holding court in his home the past week.
