Columbia, Jan. 19.?Usually wheh the General Assembbly meets in the year the primaries are held, there is much talk of political nature and maneuvering for position but this session is an exception. However, ^the Legislature is young yet and there is plenty of time for the politica lbees to begin buzzing in the lobbies and around the committee rooms. ' Thp onlv direct recent political an nouncement is the statement of Col. A. H. Marchent, of Orangeburg, that he will offer for Adjutant General. W. W. Moore, of Barnwell, the incumbent, said this morning that he would be in the race for reelection on his record for upbuilding of the National Guard. There has beeR no talk that Governor Cooper will be opposed, and it is more than probable that he will go into the primary without a contender. It is a safe bet that no matter who offers, if anyone does, he will be given a second term. He has made a sane, conservative executive has not indulged in spurts of radicalism and is intensely popular with all classes. Many of his friends com . plain that he does not get in the limelight enough. For Lieutenant Governor. The only opposition which has developed toward the reelection of Junius T. Liles, as Lieutenant Gov? ernor, who, if he runs, as it is understood that he will, is Octavious y.. Cohen, an attorney of Charleston and Monck's Corner, who made a remarkable race for the position in 1918, without attending but two of the campaign, meetings. There is some talk of Solicitor George Warren, of Hampton, entering the race, but Mr. Warren has made no announcement one way or the other yet. No opposition has been announced or hinted at against Samuel M. Wolfe, Attorney General; S. T. Carter, State Treasurer; Rut L. Osborne Comptroller General; W. Banks Dove, Secretary of State; John E. Swearingen, State Sperintendent of Education, and B. Harris, Commissioner of Agriculture Commerce and Industries, nor have these officials stated whether they will offer again, but it is more than likely that they will. For railroad commissioner it is almost certain that Frank W. Shealy, of Lexington, chairman will offer for reelection and it is almost certain that, hp will be ODDOsed bv D. L. | Smith, of Colleton, although nei-j ther man has announced his intentions. Other possible candidates have keen spoken of for this position. In the formum of national politics, an effort is being made to get out opposition to Senator E. D. Smith, of Lynchburg, who will offer for reelection. Senator Smith has made a good many active enemies in South Carolina and they want someone to; oppose him. Ex-Senator Pollock, of i Cheraw, is the most probable opponent which Senator Smith will have to contend with, and it is understood that the Chesterfield County politician will make known what he is going to do within the next two months. Col. William Banks, of Columbia, has been approached to mammmmmmmm eu? n >ni lys, 1 hurs< GEO. IE I an amazing soul.

No opposition has been announce against R. S. Whaley, of Charlesto Representative from the First dii trict^ut there are many men in h district who would be glad to see hi] go down in defeat ,and the majorit of these are members of what : known as the "Grace faction" in tl: , City of Charleston. i In the Second district, James 1 Byrnes, of Aiken, so far is withoi opposition for reelection, but as 1; jhad three opponents in 1918 would not be improbable should h find his candidacy contested. ' Fred H. Dominick, of Newbenn undoubtly will not be reelected t 'Congress from the Third distrii j without a contest, although there : .none announced at this time. It I understood, however, the mo: 'prominent oppontent mentione against Mr. Dominick is Capt. Henr C. Tillman, of Greenwood. S. T. Nicholls, of Spartanburj Representative from the Fourth di: trict, has announced that he will nc offer for reelection. Capt. J. J. M< Swain and D. R. Traxler, both c Greenville, will be in the race to su< ceed Mr. Nicholls and probabl Horace Bomar, an attorney of Spai tanburg. In the Fifth district, no oppositio has so far developed to W. S. Stever son, of Cheraw, but it is known tha several gentlemen are most anxiou to succeed him. -In Sixth District. In the Sixth district, P. H. Stoll, c Kingstree, who defeated E. J.

Both Mr. Fulmer and 16 Mr. Timmermann were defeated by Congressman Mann in the special ; election, Mr. Timmermann going inl^jto the second primary election with ie | him. The next campaign promises to be ie ,one of th? most unexciting in many years, as there will be an absence of Ty the well-known brand of factional ;o politics with which the State has ;t(been cursed. Cole L. Blease is out of ls,the running, with nobody to pick up 's | his mantle. He is practicing law in ^ Columbia these days and is not talking much about politics, y : AMERICAN LIVES UNSAFE IN MEXICO. 5| San Antonio, Jan. 19.?Dr. John ^ Hunter, an American physician of { Nogales, told the senate subcommittee investigating the Mexican situation today he never had known of a Mexican being punished for killing an American in Mexico.
