THINK PROHIBIION WILL COME 1 ] Mr. Bellinger Says Tempenance I Movement is Growing?Poriner i J Attorney General Discusses Prohibition Movement. News and Courier. r, Columbia, August 23>?The Hon. (}. Duncan Bellinger, formerly Attorney i General of South Carolina, who i's , now practicing law in Columbia, has s recently made several business trips i to Washington and Baltimore, and j in conversation on his return he stnl ^ ed that there is a .meat deal of signif- ' icance being everywhere attached to the growth ol the prohibition senti ment in ibis country, especially in the '! {South. Mr. Helliuger has never advocated state prohibition, but he is 'j a Demon at and believes in I lie rule oC the majority, and he is convinced I that the people of South (Carolina will soon demand the passage <?f a prohibition law, just as has been done ! in Georgia and will be done in North i Carolina. "I believe," said Mr. Bellinger, , that the wisest thing for the prolii- ( bitionisls to do would be to enact a ( law giving the whole state prohibi- i tion and permitting" those counties ) which desire to have whiskey sold | therein to vote it in instead of re- , quiring, as now, the counties which want prohibition to vole whiskey out. < I nder the present arrangement the v whole burden is oil those who oppose i j . the sale ot whiskey and Ibis should | not be. The present law makes it , necessary for those opposin he sale . ot whiskey to get up the petitions for | the election and to wage the cam- | paign for prohibition; then after the j election if there is a contest, the pro- . j* hibitionists are compelled to put up | funds to tight it. Those who are in- , terested", either financially or other- | wise, in the sale of whiskey will nat- j urally be prepared to spend money to ] retain this privilege, but it is hard to ( compel the sincere prohibitionists to j go down into their pockets and put up the money for such a fight. '1 My lirm and myself personally i have represented the dispensary faction in many of the contests which ( j- have been brought to test the legality | of the elections under the Briee law ( and the Carey-Cot bran law, and the suggestion I am making will not only . not bring me any .money, but if put : into effect, would cost me heavily, hut I am convinced that it is the best plan to insure the success of prohibition in this stale. While I was al- * ways a dispensary man as long as I ij was in politics, my sympathies 5 throughout life have been with those ^ forces making for temperance, law ' and order, and I admire the sincere prohibitionist. I "There is no use denying the force 1 of the sentiment which is growing in i favor of prohibition in this and other : Southern states, and if the prohibi- 1 tionists are wise they will substitute j for the present unsatisfactory law a i > . state prohibition law, which will cov- I er the commonwealth like a blanket, I putting on those who want whiskey < sold in any county the onus of seeurI ing an election and of instituting the dispensary. The prohibtionists have < the power to do this if they choose. , and it is to their advantage to do so. . Personally, I should be glad to see , such a bill introduced at the next sos- , sion of the ge:i%*ral assembly by some sincere prohibitionist, and it seems to me that it would meet with the | approval of Gov. Ansel, whose inoliI nation towards prohibition is well known.'' In speaking of the contests, which his tirni has conducted to test the various elections on (be dispensary in tiie last lew years, Mr. Bellinger said he knew that h<! had been criticised, but that he considered he had done , his .date a service if he has assisted in instructing the people how elee- 1 lions must be conducted to be lawfully conducted. "I have always stood k for the enforcement and observance | of the law," said Mr. Bellinger, "no j matter what the law is, and shall always do so." ( Mr. Bellinger has an intimate acquaintance with the whiskey laws, which have been in force in this slate during the last fifteen years, lie . was solicitor when the dispensary law I was first enacted and his record for the vigorous prosecution of lawbreakers of all kinds stands unequalled in the court antials of South Car- . olina. Then lie was elected attorney general when the dispensary law required daily interpretation for tho , guidance of the state officials and his ! opinions are accepted as final on the questions which he was called on to ] I consider. Since his retirement from < that office lie has been engaged in almost every contest of the Briee law and Carcy-Cothran law elections that ] have been made. Although out of office Mr. Bellinger keeps in touch with ' the people and knows their senti-M jk 51 SHOP COADJUTOR GUERRY TO LOCATE IN CHARLESTON leport That He will Mako His Headquarters in City by the Sea if Bishop Capers Recovers. Hie State. 'Charleston, Aug. 22.?Bishop emulator A. W. Guerry will probably nake his residence in Charleston ome time after Ins consecration next nontli, but no direct statement of lis probable residence in this city has ret been made. When l)r. Guerry was first nomimtcd for the position of bishop coadntor, it was then said that he would ake up his resilience in Charleston, >iving special attention to this secion of South Carolina while Bishop Papers would look after the interests >f the Episcopal church in the upper section of the slate. The plan then irovided also for the consecration of he new bishop in Charleston, probacy ?l the Church of the lloly Comnunion, with which he was once coniccted. The illness of Bishop ,Oap>rs, with the accumulation of much orrespondenee and affairs requiring the attention of the bishop folowed and it became apparent that he necessities of the situation would C(|uire Bishop Guerry to remain for ioine time after his consecration in Columbia. The standing committee iuhse?|ueiitlv took up the work of tho 11 bishop and lias disposed of and landled many matters, still there is nuch work before the new bishop iml it is very probable that he will >e kept busy at Columbia for some ime after his consecration in attending to the many matters constantly accumulating. When these matters iiave been disposed of, Bishop Guerry will be free to give particular attention to ministrations, especially in this section of the slate, and then lie will make Charleston his headHiarters. This move may be co.ulilioned on the recovery of Bishop Capers and the ability of the ill ollieial Id again actively assume the fnnclions of his oflice. The matter of providing an Episcopal residence and its support will be looked after especially by the Charleston people. Bending his consecration and the final decision ol [lie place of resilience, nothing" definite along this line will l>e done. Too Much. Judge.

"I shall not ask you to do any ol the foolish things you mention; bul won't you, if you really love me, gc nit in the back yard and play croquet with Aunt Mchitabel?
