JONES.. s What "The New Voice," of Chicago, t Says of His Prohibition Fight in a South Carolina. -"The New Voice," a Chicago pub ication, prints the following dis patch -from IColumbia, in regard to Mr. A. C. Jones' fight for prohibition C 'in this state, and his present cam paign for governor of South Carolina. The article is headed "South Caro lina's Prohibition Leader," and is ac companied by an"excellent cut of Mr. Jones. The article foll'ows: . .1 In the turmoil and .dust that has ac-i companied the voting out of the va rious dispensaries in this state, there has lurked a genius that has been lit-i tie beard on the stump or hill tops, hbit to whom credit is due for the re-t suits, more, probably, than any other ~\ man..t What that young prohibition cava lier, Lysander D. Childs, was to the ( reform bif6re his death, A. C. Jones I1 has lbeen since. Jones. was the politi- I cal successor of Mr. Childs, and a wotyone. It was Childs who fought nighc and day for prdhibition in and tout of the C egislature for nearly a decade up to the passage of the dispensary law. At his elbow was another young s5utherner, A. C. Jones, now a leading ' nerchant at Newberry, and who is likely to be the next governor of the I Z~ tate. In 1898 Mr. Jones was electced to succeed Mr. Childs as chairman of the prohibition state executive com mittee, .and 'had charge of the'cam paign that year, when Mr. C. C. Feath erstone of Laurens wa's a candidate for governor at the democratic primaries, and who was only defeated for the nomination by 'Governor Ellerbe by a litile over four thousand majority. S~Mr. Jones' faith in the people of his state i;o repair the wrong done by the t failure of the democrats to grant pro 'hibition when the people voted it by I ten thousand majority in 1892, hasr caused him to keep up 'the agitation against the dispensary until he has lived to see them repair this blun-, der by voting out the state grog- c geries in the counties of Cherokee, 1 Pickens, Union, Newberry, Yorkville, t Marion, Lancaster, and Horry, and t with good prospects of voting it out r in several oTher counties before the t close of the year. h1 Jones insisted upon an aggressive 1' fight being made in 1900, 1902 and C 1904 but the prohibitionists were so v discouraged by their defeat in 1898 in and 19oo 'that no one was ?willing to I make the fight in 1902 and 1904.. o In 1903, at the request of a number g of the leading prohibitionists in the d state, who were shocked at the open 14 violation of the dispensary law and a the general disregard of all the laws a of the state, he wrote an appeal to k the people of the state which was pub- - lished in the Daily State and other li paper at the jime asking- them to or-a iddle Breake lorse Plows be9n looking for y Plow guarante SSum :anize and petition the general as embly to pass a bill that would give e people the same right to vote out . dispensary where established, jus: s the law provided for voting in a ispensary iwliere there was none in xistence. At that time where a -dispensary was pened there was no law to remove t. This appeal led .to the organization f the State Law and Order league nd finaly to the passage of the Brice ea, under rwhich law the dispensa ies are now being voted out. Mr. ones was also requested by members f the law and -order league to ask overnor Heyward to recom'mend ai tis message to the general assemoly n January, 1904, that .they pass a bill ~iving the people these rights. Mr. Jones was so deeply interested n the success of the prohibitionists nd of .the lasw being enforced, where he counties vote the dispensaries out, Lnd of other reforms being made in he state 'goveriiment, that he decided ~arly in last April to become a candi late for governor 'in the democratic >rimary next year. He will then ap eal to the democrats of the state to rote the dispensaries out county by -ounty, and at the same time elect nen ro the legislature who will en orce the law and give the people a lean economi,cal business administra ion. Last April, when Mr. Jones boldly Lnaounced his candidacy on the pro ibition issue, many looked upon it as nine days wonder and, without de. ate, consigned him to the fate of essrs. Feat-herstone and Hoyt, who red the same thing a few years ago ed were crushed !by the dispensary nachine. But when the people began to vote >ut the dispensaky here and there and :verywhere, by such overwhelming najorities, it began to appear that ones' project was big with* trouble or the political ring ,that controls the tate. In all these contests, Jones has been he guiding spirit, advising .the local eaders and quietly directing the va ious campaigns. The Idle Rich In America.
