Besides compulsory education. It appears at this rather far away time hat the Issues next snmmer will have to do with restricting the primary, and whether the State Legislature should pass an Act prohibiting the or dering of whiskey for personal use under the terms of the Webb Act. The inheritance tax,, tax on water powers, election of Judges by the people, the initiative, referendum and recall, are all likely to play a part in the next compaign. Many people expect to see John L. McLaurin, of Bennettsville, former United States Senator and the pres ent member of the State Senate from Marlboro County, in Jhe race lor Governor in 1914. This is the coming talk in political circles and one hears It expressed every day. It waa told to this correspondent in the past few days that John Gar? Evans, of Spartanburg, may be in the Gubernatorial race in 1914. too. He succeeded Senator Tillman in the Governor’s chair in 1895, and this political observer suggested that for the ferry rearon that the next Gover nor would have a good lead on any opponenets for Senator Tillman's seat just so former Governor Evans, knowing this, might be in the race next year.

Barn well County, the identity being indi cated by a letter found on the badly decomposed body, which, in the opin ion of Dr. C. A. Rush, of Hampton, had been lifeless for at least six months. Practically all of the flesh had been eaten off tbe bones by bus- sards. Body Lying Aero** Log. The body was found late yesterday afternoon about a mile and a half east of the spot where the Hamp ton and Branchville Railroad cros- ses the Salkehatchie River. It was lying across a log in a shallow part of the stream, the head on one side of the log, the-feet on the other. The condition of the body was such f.a to make identification by that means impossible, but lying in the river, directly under where the body was found, a pocket book containing $6 and several letters was discover ed. The contents of only one of these letters was decipherable. Thir letter was addressed to "Paul Kirk land. Sycamore.
