Jan. 38tli IWH>. gut. T A FT. Mr. Ty?t. y all this hulla (btloo ,ovqr him iu the Souih. ?The ipau is doubtless very well Id his way, but why any self jespectiug southern democrat cau go luto couniption tils over J|)iiq, we oannot see. We have j*hM>lutely nothing in common .with tlie views of the President* elect. His ideas on the tariff, and on every subject that affects atne future prosperity of the South ure diametrically opposed (to ours, as will be plainly shown .during his career as President, yet our silly people are, accord ing to the newspapers, going V\vild over luui because of that -fascinatiug smile and his promise to appoint to oQice only men of xthe highest character. That <kind of twuddle makes us tired. jQl course Mi*- Taft will appoint .to otftce that class of men. The ?National Republican party m?ut tipooipt that class now when iu power or down they go. When .vre say tlie Republican party, we npe;in the leaders of it who govern appointments. The Presi dent is practical I y a figure head. must trust to the recommendations of the several . # heads of his party as seut in to jUim to a large degree, What does Mr. Taft lcnow about the South anyway? No thing, absolutely . nothing ex. 4cept what he has gleaned from Jus brief sorjourn iu Virginia and Qeorgia, so why our people should malce such a display of asiniuity over him, we cannot see. UOVBR NOT HOL.ll> FOU PKO? UIDITION. It now seems likely that the .tight will not be iu the senate, nut in the house of representa tives. There had been much la Ik to the effect that the house would pass tlie bill an a matter >f form and "put it up" to the .miate to kill it* However, the iuiest lsws is to tl\o effect thai ."noses have boon counted" and .that,if the bill gets through the house at all it will be only after hard tight. One member of the house, who the chairman of a very im portant coQiipitlee add ranks ^iigh in the membership, said ^aturtlay that ho believes that the local option people have a ,niHjority of .15. buf, other local topliouistji who have been taking a poll of the house stiy that it will be oloner than that, There are numbers who aro ^teetotalers rnd are prohibition ists, too, at heart who are said ^lot to be ei)lhu&|iufcti,& over pass ing legislation now as it would give political prestige to indi viduals raiher than promote the interests of a great cause. Tl^e prohibition leader of the State, Mr. C. Q. Featherstone, who made a gallant ti'/ht before the people in lb(J$ when the cause seetue^ almost hopeless, and the Readers .despondent, and yet (inissed election as governor by only a fe.f hundred votes, has not, it seems, come out in a flat footed demand for an iron-clad prohibitiou biil to be passed at ]ihis session. Some of the legis lators seeyi to think that lie pre* /ers a referendum, to let the peo ple themselves vote ou the ques tion. Some who have been studying the situation have seemed to think that because a county once s voted out the dispensary its; representatives will vote for al iM'ohibtlioi) bill' This is said lo i>e a mistaken idea. A promin ent representative from a Pied mont county who remained in the city yesterdny said: "My county voted out the dis uhusury?rye*; hut it was largely tlu? to the disclosures of rottou ? .less iu the Slate dispensary -iiade by Mr. Lyon and Mr. LllQ Wtber mem. bersof Hid committee. We were unalterably opi?osed to the con (}x>uaooe of ibe blaie dUpen. lirj." |fc was stated Saturday that a representative from Aiken bail declared tlist bis couuty would buve to pay no taxes this yeuiw uuless the dispeusary should be removed, for out of the protits of lhe North Augusta dispensary the revenue tms been large enough to run the fiscal a (Tit i rs of Aiken oounty. On the other hand it is declared that the schools in Edgetield, where there is prohibition, must sus pend this month because of an insuSU*tttiiay of funds to run them. Qf course such arguments are specious when applied to questions of morals, but there has been liquor sold in Edgeiield according to reaeut reports. "I believe iu uo 'dog in the manger' politics," said one rep resent alive from a couuty on the North Carolina border, which long atro voted a severance of connection with Hie old Stute dispensary. We have no dis spensary, although we nave a good and sufficient express com pany service, and the quautity of liquor that is shipped iu there from Baltimore and oilier cities would astound auy mie not ac quainted with lhe facts. It we had a dispensary in our town w> could sell enough liquor in near by North Carolina cities to re move all tuxes from our county, and there would not be so \ery much more sold at home than now comes iu by the express company. "We have gone on record as opposed to the dispeusary sys tein, we have declared against iis operation iu our county, but if the people of ltichiuud and Suuiter and Georgetown are saiistied, I feel that so long as it does not interfere willi my con stituents I will haive to vote for local option, unless it should be proved, and. J have waited for the proof, that the couuty dis pensuries are going the graft route, as did lhe iitule dispen sary."?The State. The February Woman's Home Companion.

Patterson thin afternoon tilixl with the olerk of the tenita a message, vetoing the Stale, uide prohibition oil I which lust weelc was passed by both houses of the legislature. The gover nor's action followed adjourn ment of the senate, after it had passed, on third reading, by a vote of 80 to 13, the bill prohibi ting the uianfacture in Ten nessee of intoxicating liquors. The veto message wili be read to the senate tomorrow morning, when it must be sustained or the bill passed over the executive's protest. On original passage the vote was 20 to JU. Opponents of tlio bill claim tonight that they count on a change of three senators to t heir side and that the fourth mem ber, on whoso vote the fate cf the measure depends, is waver iug. In his veto message, Gov. Pat terson charge* that such legis lation is against t he Democratic platform and self government; that it opposes the recorded will of the people; that experience proves that no arbitary pro hibitive law was ever observed, and its enactment brings no settlement of the question; that it destroys property, reduces Staie revenues, increases the taxation, t aires money away from the people to send it else where, foments discord, impairs the dignity of the commonwealth, fosters hypocrisy and invites evasion and deceit in the people. Prohibition Hill passes Over Veto. Nashville, Tonn., Jan. 20.? Over the veto of Gov. Patterson, |l>oth houses of the legislature passed the senate bill which prohibits the sale of intoxicating liquors within four miles of a school houte in Tennessee and is in effect a State-wide prohibition act. Jt is effective July 1, 11)01). The vote iu the senate was tlie same us on the original passage. The house acted at 5:40 this afternoon, the vote standing 01 lo i}0, the original vote there having been 02 to 61. In each house I he passage was effected through a combination of Re publicans and "Statewide" Democrats. The galleries wore packed in both houses and the debates fol lowing the reading of the gover nut 's message were bitter. The action of the legislature today practically brings to a close one of the most bitter and sensational political lights in the historv of Tennessee. State wide prohibition was the main issue in -the recent contest be tween Governor Patterson and Senator ft. W. 0 irmack for the Democratic gubernatorial nomi nation, and though Patterson, who advocated local option, won the nominaliou, the legislature elected in November last, at the same time that he was, has after stormy times iroue against him. This came, however, with the aid of Republicans, who gave the bill 2:2 votes iu tho house and live in the senaie. The bill to prohibit tho manu facture of intoxicating liquor iu Tennessee after January 1, 11)10, passed the senate today and is expected to pass the house to morrow.
