LOOKS LIKE EVANS.
Reported He Stands Good Uiance to
Head Committee.
Columbia. May b.?In spite of r.ll
rumors to the contrary it is evident
that former Governor John Gary
Evans, of Spartanburg, will be re
elected chairman of the State Democratic
executive committee if he
wants the job. This indication is
obtained from sources which are of
unquestioned authority and it is believed
here that Governor Evans
will accept re-election.
Representative W. F. Stevenson,
of Chesterfield county, was quoted
here the other afternoon as saying
that he would offer for the chairmanship
in the event that Mr. Evans got
out of the way, but even if Mr.
Evans gets out of the way there
would be vigorous opposition to the
selection of Mr. Stevenson, accord-)
ing to the way the current of mat-i
ters political is running. Mr. Stevenson
is running for congress up in
the 5th district, and many think it
would be a mistake to take any candidate
and make him State chairman.
Outside of this, however, it is evident
that Mr. Stevenson's election would
be extremely doubtful.
Political centres are marking time
waiting until the State convention
meets on May 20. The administra..

face, but there are signs of much
coming and going, and it is believed
"that they have about mapped out a
plan of campaign. The cheeriulness
of their leaders and the many prominent
Bleasites that have been in Cov
lumbia in the past few days are some
of the straws leading those in touch
with matters to believe that the administration
people have outlined
their campaign.
While rejoicing over the sweeping
anti-administration victory in the
county conventions the leaders of the
opposition to the administration have
not forgotten two years ago. The
convention then was overwhelmingly
dominated by the followers of Judge
Ira B. Jones just as the coming convention
will be in the hands of the
followers of United States Senator
E. D. Smith. It is true that the
Smith people are pointing out that
the governor's followers, or rather
their leaders, made desperate efforts
i . i_ . --v. ?+V.4C,
to (capture me uiuu mccuugo cmo
year and were inundated. That two
years ago the administration leaders
*had not made any apparent efforts to
get control of the county conventions,
and this they are emphasizing.
However, the lessons of two years
ago are in the minds of the leaders
of the forces now in control of the
machinery of the party.
Primary reform will be the big issue
before the convention, and the
friends of the effort to have the general
election requirements applied to
the primary are making a vigorous
campaign to carry the matter
through the State convention. Mr.
John J. Mctyahan and the Richland
delegation will be the leaders in this
effort, and it is believed that they
will attract support from other counties.
A great many of the counties
endorsed primary reform, and there
is very little doubt but that some reform
of the primary will be put
through. The only difference is over
how far-reaching and how stringent
the reform should be. Some of the
leaders are opposed to the proposition
to make the general election
qualifications apply to the primary,
while still others say anything less
than this will be a makeshift and ac complish
nothing. This* is the issue
over which the tight will come in tne
convention.
SENDS BULLET INTO BRAIN.
Prominent Greenville Man Commits
15 Suicide.
Greenville, May 9.?Porter C.
JIunn, one of Greenville's most progressive
young citizens and a member
of the firm of Jordan & Munn,
contractors, shot himself through the
head with a pistol at 8 o'clock this
morning at his home on North Main
i street, dying three hours later. Mr.
Munn had just arisen from bed when
he fired the shot. His little six-yearold
son heard the shot and rushed
up-stairs to find his father lying on
the floor clad in his pajamas, with
blood flowing from a bullet wound
in his right temple. Mr. Munn suffered
a nervous breakdown some
time ago following a one-day trip
from Marion to Greenville in an automobile,
but it was thought that he
had recovered from this. His business
connections were in excellent
shape and his home lire iaeai.
Porter C. Munn was born in
Florence and was 39 years of age. He
is survived by a wife and two little
children. His wife was formerly
Miss Marion Bostick. of Marion. Mr.
Munn was a director of the Chamber
of Commerce, steward of the Buncombe
Street Methodist church and
was one of the city's most progressive
young business men. His tragic
death has cast a pall over Greenville.

MEASURE WORRYING HOUSE.
l*rohibition Resolution Gives More
Concern Than Mexico.
Washington. .May 10.?There is
absolutely no exaggeration in the
statement that the principal topic of
conversation among the members of
the house of representatives since
last Tuesday, has been the Hobson
National Prohibition resolution,
which has surpassed even the Mexican
war as a cause of immediate and
pressing concern to the representatives.
.Mexico is some distance away,
but this prohibition resolution is
right here in Washington, and will
not consent to be put aside by diplomatic
discussion or A. B. C. mediation.
Until a short time ago it had been
confidently believed that the resolution
to submit a prohibition amendment
of the constitution to the United
States, would not get out of the
judiciary committee of the house at
this session, and that the necessity of
voting for or against the proposition
on a roll-call, would thus be obviated
until after, the next congressional
campaign. Even after the resolution
was reported out of the committee
last week, affecting the "innocent bystanders"
like a blast of dynamite,
many of the more conservative took
comfort in the opinion that the resolution
wouldn't be reached on the
calendar, anyhow. But before the
end of the week the outlook had
changed considerably, and the confidence
that there would be no rollcall,
had painfully shrunk.
Will Take Caucus Short-Cut.
The cause of the gloom is the realization
that somebody is almost certain
to bring about a roll-call on the
* 1 _ _ -4. - ?? - ? ? T\ /I *v-s
iiooson resolution m inc j^giuv^i anv .
caucus, which has been called for
next Tuesday night, to consider the
"administration program." After
Leader Underwood has moved that
the three anti-trust bills and the
rural credit bill be given the right of
way over other measures on the
calendar, except appropriation bills,
someone will jump up and move
that the Hobson resolution also have
a special rule giving it right of way.
Then there will be a roll-call in the
caucus?and as to what will follow,
we need only to quote the chairman
of the rules committee, Mr.
Henry, of Texas, who says:
"The rules of the caucus make it
necessary to make public any record
vote taken. So that whether the
proposal to bring in a special rule is
defeated or carried, the Republicans
would have the Democrats on record.
For that reason I shall insist that if
' a vote is taken, it must be agreed
that regardless of the result in the
caucus the prohibition question must
I be taken up on the floor of the house
j in order that the Republicans may
| have their opportunity to go on record
also.
"If the friends of national prohibi
tion are going to\insist upon some
action upon this resolution, I regard
it as my plain duty to ask the caucus
for instructions, for I do not propose
! to have the rules committee set up
| to hold the bag after the judiciary
committee has refused to make any
| recommendation regarding this pro!
posed legislation."
Much Criticism Among Hank and
File.
Bitter criticism of the judiciary
committee is heard in the cloak
rooms and corridors among the
house members because the prohibi- 1
tion amendment was reported, and
also because it was reported without
any recommendation or opinion.
Some members are saying that Chairman
Clayton lost interest in the troubles
of his colleagues generally when
| he was nominated for a Federal
[ judgeship in Alabama a few days before
the resolution came out of the
committee. Others are censuring
I Leader Underwood for his avowed
I onnMi-oi nf tho movement 4o aet
a^'pi vy ? tti v*. V4?v v . __ w
the Hobson resolution to a vote. They
intimate that he has also lost interest
in the affairs of his house friends
since he won his fight for the senate.
A peculiar fact is that some of the
strongest opponents of the amendment,
in and out of the judiciary
committee, are favoring a vote on it
as soon as possible, saying that the
best thing is to defeat it quickly and
get it out of the way. Leader Underwood
talks in this way, and Congressman
Carlin of Virginia, who
will soon be ranking member of the
judiciary committee, is understood to
agree with him.
i Though the vote in the judiciary
committee on reporting out the Hobson
resolution 1. s not been officially
made public, it is said to have been
eight to nine. Representative Webb
of North Carolina, who will become
chairman of the committee on the
retirement of Judge Clayton, advocated
deferring the matter until the '
~ - i -
uecemuer session..
Veto by President Not Involved.
The house is so panicky on the
liquor question, that there is no telling
what it will do with the Hobson
resolution if it comes to a vote. Most
of the South Carolina, delegation
TWO MEN BRAINED.
King's Mountains Distillers Killed I
Men They Halted.
Yorkville. May 6.?J. K. Well
aged 22, and Pink Dover, aged o
both white, were killed in a figl
with J. Ed Turner and his son, Tha
E. Turner, at the home of Jim Maci
colored, about three miles fro;
King's Mountain battle ground, i
this county, last night at about 11.2
o'clock. Both the dead men wei
brained with a home-made baseba
bat about three feet long, made <
cedar. They are said to have bee
engaged in manufacturing and sel
ing illicit whiskey. Both the Tu
ners are in jail, having surrendere
to the sheriff early this morning. A
inquest was held to-day bv Magi
trate A. J. Quinn, of Clover.
None of the witnesses examine
testified as to actually having see
the killing, and several who wei
present seemed to know little (
nothing about it. From such i
could be obtained it seems that tl"
deplorable affair was due to the fa<
that Wells and Dover were bot
more or less under the influence <
whiskey. It is said they had pr<
viously asserted that they propose
to kill the next officers of the la
who undertook to interfere with the
business or arrested them, and thi
they mistook the Turners for ofl
cers.
Had Gone Fishing.
The Turners are farmers and li\
on the public road about eight mile
above Yorkville. After a heavy rail
fall in that section on yesterday the
decided to go fishing, and drove t
the home of Jim Mack, and left the
buggy* there and went to the cree
near by to fish. They returned to tt
house a short time before the killin
and found Dover and Wells, who mi;
took them for officers, and are sai
to have drawn pistols on Ed Turne
and ordered him to hold up h
hands. Mack testified that four she
were fired, and stated that Turn<
fired twice and that the other partic
fired twice, but stated that he wi
not near enough to see the mov<
ments of all the parties.
After the shooting was over it wj
discovered that both Wells and Dov<
,had been brained and were pract
cally dead, and that Dover had bee
shot in the right leg below the kne
The jury returned a verdict tin
Wells and Dover had come to the
death by reason of blows on the
heads inflicted by Thad E. Turner.

would doubtless be for it. Someboc
said the other day that Presidei
Wilson would veto the resolutio
even if it should get through coi
gress. That is rather foolish,' b<
cause it takes a two-thirds vote 1
pass a resolution for an amendmei
of the constitution, and a two-thir(
vote is enough to override a veto.
