Cayce, SC 12/11/25 - James Smith, an attorney with more than three decades of experience, brings his legal skill, public‐sector experience, and proven leadership to the City of Cayce. As the council-appointed City Attorney, Smith has managed the full range of civil, business, real estate, land use, construction, and governmental issues that are central to municipal legal work.
Smith’s 22-year tenure in the South Carolina House of Representatives—including service in senior leadership on the Judiciary Committee, where he helped shape and interpret laws affecting cities and towns statewide—adds significant regulatory and legislative depth to his qualifications. He also brings nearly 30 years of distinguished service in the South Carolina Army National Guard, including roles as a JAG officer and Infantry Lieutenant Colonel.
Mayor Elise Partin said, “Just as James Smith has served our country and our state with honor, our city will now benefit from his legal expertise, integrity, and focus on helping move Cayce forward.”
Smith added, “I’m deeply grateful for the confidence and support of the Cayce City Council. I look forward to working closely with City Manager Mike Conley, Mayor Elise Partin, and Council in service to our citizens and in support of the continued progress of the City of Cayce.”
Smith was appointed by Cayce City Council on December 2 and will assume the City Attorney role immediately.






Je suis parent de deux enfants qui usent leurs chaussettes à une vitesse folle. Entre l’école, les jeux dehors et les lessives répétées, c’est devenu presque une routine de devoir en racheter tous les deux mois. J’ai voulu tester une fabrication plus robuste, et en cherchant une production française, je suis tombé sur https://kindy.fr/. J’ai aimé le fait qu’ils proposent aussi des lots pour enfants, avec des motifs simples mais pas trop enfantins. Après plusieurs semaines, je vois que les paires tiennent bien, même après lavage intensif. On n’y pense pas souvent, mais de bonnes chaussettes, c’est un vrai gain de temps et d’énergie quand on gère une famille au quotidien.
