4b4b 4b * : ti Have just o * x The Best Mattn t The THE PROHIBITION w QUESTION. I bil IT 18 THOUGHT that there will | ?p be a majority in the house i *" votes. th (Special to The Advocate.) cr so Columbia. S. C.. Jan. 25.?The question of prohibition is still the cc leading measure before the general m assembly, and while the matter has te not been up for discussion in either ar house, there is hardly any doubt to Knfr tViof f V*prp will rnnsiHeraWp I debate on the bill before a final vote is reached. v< On Thursday afternoon the advo- in cates of prohibition appeared before ni the dispensary committee and pre- hi sented their arguments for prohibition. Rev. J. L- Harley and Mr. C. bi C. Featherstone were among the 1S ?n??lr?rc mi hr.rlv n the sess o .i bers seemed tc \ r>.s a majority i ie to bicion, while the vo ite thl woiuu ue Vcty cio&c. i.ww, However, since some of those most in- . terest have in a way canvassed the * J situation, it appears, according to r some leaders, that the tide has turned in favor of local option and that i the present system will prevail by a majority of 10 to 15. The local C optionists have all along pinned their ar' faith to the senate, claiming that ce they had a majority of from four to H five in that body, thus ensuring no |tei change in the matter of handling w' liquor at the present session. It is ve said by some that the new Senator O' from Florence who is to be elected m< on Tuesday, will favor local option. an On Tuesday each house will vote separately for a United States senator to succeed Senator Frank B. Gary, Hon. E. D. Smith of Florence c'' Inaving rcceivea tne nomination in ; the primary last summer, his elec- j tion will be merely a matter of form. m: ha After the balloting for senator by the joint assembly on Wednesday will follow the election of an associ-l*" ate justice to succeed Justice Ira B. Jones, who has been elevated to the ^ir \A7 chief justiceship. This contest promises to be intensely interesting I owing to the number of candidates uni Xti\he field. The following are regarded as the . ' leading candidates: ls \ Judges D. E. Hydrick and K. C. ^ Watts, ex-Gov. Sheppard and Mr. mo T. P. Cothran. While the names of a number of other gentlemen have been mentioned in this connection, it seems to be the current opinion tr that a choice will be made from the above named. In the event of the election of jo Judge watts, the tnends oi Mr. Knox Livingston of Marlboro say i hat his chances are good for a cir- wr j cuit judgeship. Should the plum j Qf fall to Judge Hydrick, Mr. C. P. ; Sanders of Spartanburg would be a i , formidable candidate, his friends Wil say. a s Mr. B, F. Thomas has resigned as h? a director of the State penitentiary,' ?l? this information having been con-1' r veyed to both houses in a special j 'jnfc message by the governor. i For Senator J. H.
