' i 1844 ELECTIONS MM WIDEST INTERES" MOST UNEXPECTED IS DEVEL OPMENT OF OPPOSITION TO ASSOCIATE JUSTICE FRASER Columbia, January 22.?Special The elections which will be held 01 Wednesday by the General Assembl; arc holding the centrc of interest ii legislative and political circles. An. the most unexpected development ii the whole group of places to be fille. is the opposition to Associate Justice T. B. Fraser. The name of George : Mower, one of the Reprseentative from Newberry and Speaker pro ten of the House, has been brought for ward in opposition to Justice Fraser and this situation has caused a grea deal of talk around the Capitol. J former influential member of th< General Assembly arrived suddeni; in Columbia the other night to lool into the matter, for he would hardl; believe that opposition had develope-. to the re-election of Associate Jus tice T. B. Fraser, of Sumter. This position is going to either in crease in interest or opposition to th< je-election of Justice Fraser wil cease. The members have gone homi for the week-end and nothing posi tive will appear to get a line on th< situation until they return on Mon <lay night. Warehouse Commissioner. The warehouse commissioner's rac< is still attracting much interest. Johr L. McLaurin, who was last week en dorsed by the State Farmers' Unior and the South Carolina Warehous* Association, is opposed by F. M. Carj of Pickens, and John J. McMahan of Columbia. The unofficial an nouncement from the Governor's of fice the other day that he had nc candidate for this place was receivec with a good deal of interest in bott branches of the General Assembly. Mrs. Virginia Green Moody, Stac< librarian; Carlton W. Sawyer, Comp troller General; and F. H. McMaster insurance commissioner, will.be reflected to succeed themselves without opposition. This will also be the case of Circuit Judges James W. DeVore and S. W. G. Shipp, of the 11th and 12th circuits. The race for code commsisioner lies between J. Rion McKissick, of Greenville; J. C. Townsend, of Columbia; F. F. Carroll, of Batesberg, and H. J. Riley, of Bennetts ville. Other positions to be filled at the joint assembly on Wednesday are the following: Two trustees of Winthrop College, B. R. Tillman and D. W. McLaurin, terms expired. Directors of State Penitentiary, "terms of W. H. Glenn and A. H. Hawkins expired. Two trustees of the University oi South Carolina, terms of W. M. Hamer and C. E. Spencer expired. Three trustees of Clemson_College, terms of E. T. Hughes, R. H. Timmerman and S. T. McKeown expired. Two trustees of State Colored College, terms of G. B. White expired, and J. W. Floyd, deceased. Two members board of visitors of (the Citadel, terms of W. W. Lewis pnd John P. Thomas expired. Indications are that all of these will V elected to succeed themsleves, th.= Bly contest in sight being for direeB-s of the State Penitentiary. All ol me trustees will undoubtedly be chopn for another term, the place of Ken. Floyd on the State Colored College being filled by C. F. Brooks, of Laurens, who was appointed to the vacancy by Governor Manning. GINNING SMALL SINCE LAST REPOR'I OVER FOUR MILLION BALES BE HIND LAST YEAR. NEXT REPORT FINAL.

Washington, Jan. 23.?President ilson's determination to talk to the ^ lople of the Middle West on na- q >nal preparedness has restored that j sue as the uppermost subject of disssion in congress. For several _ ;eks preparedness has been over- ^ adowed by the Mexican situation % d international questions resulting om the Euronean wnr. WifVi +V>o esident about to tour the country ? arouse the public to the nation's tj llitary requirements, administra- a >n and opposition leaders realiie at lively times are ahead on capi- fl I hill. J Democratic leaders in sympathy gj th the president's preparedness t. jws are gratified that the chief exutive will take the field, inasmuch tj there has been apparent in coness a tendency to adopt a waiting licy by many members uncertain warding the views of their con- ? tuents on the subject. The presi- y nt's tour, it is believed, will serve j double purpose of bringing out ^ blic opinion and stirring up the fislators. On the other hand, opponents of , gparedness see in the president's . ps an opportunity to further their ?< use by replying to his arguments p' the senate and house. Uneasiness over the Mexican sittion, which stirred congress, has jatly abated and probably will not ^ revived soon unless sensational de- w opments occur in Mexico. Adminration leaders regard the danger of mg forced into dimcuities witn tne rranza government averted for the ;sent and even Republicans of the late have concluded not to force i issue of intervention to a vote at s time. Senator Borah, one of i foremost believers in the necessi- ^ of military action in Mexico by the lited States, has decided there is j thing to be done at this time. Democratic leaders in both houses ? pect Mexican speeches to be made w and then as a matter of course, fj t they are satisfied that the situan is in their control for the prest at least. Some time during the o ek Representative Humphrey of ' ishington, expects to make a jj] ;ech assailing the administration's sxican policy. It also is probable v, it President Wilson's reply to the ' late in which a mass of detail rerding Carranza and Mexico will ba ^ :luded will serve to arouse inter; of congress again. It is probas that this reply will not be sent to i senate until the president returns a >m the West. 01 No Action Now. B iterest still is apparent at the capi- si in the European situation, but no a] fislative action is expected. Em- V rgo resolutions have been submit- R 1 to a subcommittee on foreign relons and no report is anticipated tt r some time. ? With regard to legislation in genil both houses continue to travel wly, notwithstanding efforts of ad- L nistration leaders to speed up the ;islative machinery. Committees ve been urged to work faster and . ns of progress are looked for durf the week. In the house now that ti ijority Leader Kitchin has returned >m North Carolina, leaders will atnpt to inaugurate the speeding up c] jgramme and senate chieftains will si all they can, although they must jf pend upon progress first in the J* use on appropriation bills and rev- u< ue legislation. sc The revenue bills must wait until estimate of what money needed is 01 ailable, so the ways and means nmitte hardly will accomplish ich before the military and naval nmittee reports come weeks hence L The immigration bill with its liticy test will be reported this week, eling over this measure is high evin the committee and its appear- r< ce on the floor is expected to pre- t litate heated argument. , j. Peace advocates will be given a ' iring Tuesday by the foreign afrs committee when resolutions je king to formation of peace com- sj ssions will be under consideration. cc tv OOD CONDITIONS JJ WORST IN HISTORY m Hayden, Ariz., Jan. 20.?Flood ^ iditions. nroduced bv recent heavv 0 ns, were declared tonight to be ; worst in the history of the state. 01 Four persons were drowned today en the Gila River overflowed the yer portion of Winkelman, Ariz., lording to advices received here, yeral are reported missing.
