Lincoln Stephens Friendship Echoes Across War Era
A Civil War era tale recalls Abraham Lincoln and Alexander Stephens, political opposites who befriended in Congress like two giants and a diminutive Georgian. Their bond spanned years until 1849, resurfacing aboard a Hampton Roads gunboat during peace talks. A telegram to Lt. John A. Stephens, a prisoner of war, enabled a reunion with his uncle, ending with a parole that carried him home in May 1865.

Judge Woodward to Retire Soon in Maryland Circuit
Chief Judge Charles W. Woodward of Maryland's Sixth Judicial Circuit will retire after 22 years on the Rockville bench. The Harvard-educated jurist, born in Georgia, began as a math teacher and WWI infantry captain before joining the bench. Trial Magistrate R. Duncan Clark is expected to succeed him at the $15,000 post. Clark, a Republican and Harvard Law graduate, has been endorsed by the county GOP board and backed by Rep. DeWitt S. Hyde. Democrats in the county oppose the appointment, aiming to influence Governor McKeldin's decision, while Clark resides at 7100 Oakridge Ave., Chevy Chase with wife Mary and children Paul and Duncan Jr.
