On Thursday, the House defeated
by one vote Mr. Moore's bill seeking
an election for Abbeville County for
tbe restoration of the dispensary in
that county. The vote was £0 to 4 9
on a bill that had been unfavorably
reported. There are several coun

elections on the liquor question and
the prospect now is that a .general
bill will bo presented looking to some
provision for such electiofis.
There was a spirited discussion of

Henry Watterspn, the veteran Ken

tn a statement made at Louisville

"Regretting that I must appear

A report was published abodt ten
days ago that there had beep a
breach between Gov. Woodrow ^1-

of Harper’s Weekly. Frlsnda of the
Governor said hireuemles could not
distinguish between the support of
Harper’s Weekly and that of Wall

to a reporter for the New York
World: - .-. ■' • •
"iMy attention bos of cotfrse been
drawn to the fact that the last two
numbers of Harpu’s Weekly have
made no mention of my name, but
this U certainly not doe to anv breach
cf any kind between CoU Harvey and
myself. Col. Harvey runs Harper’s
Weekly entirely on hie own Judg
ment.”
Col. Harvey admitted to a reporter
for The World that he had read the
reports, but he refused to comment
on them. He absolutely refused to
discuss the report that he had been
requested to discontinue bis actlvs
support of Gov. \* llson’s candidacy.
