Ansel. Gov. Ansel then summoned the two mem bers to appear before hinT and show cause why they should not be remov ed from office and the hearing was held some time ago. The governor now finds that the charges are sus tained and before leaving for Wash ington on Monday night he signed the order removing Messrs.

Since Mr. Featherstone’s withdraw al from the race for Governor, an op portunity has presented Itself in Laurens county. For the last four years the senator from Laurens has steadily voted with the prohibition forces in the senate. He is not a can didate for re-election, and it is under stood that both the candidates for senator from that county are dispen sary men. If this be go Mr. Feather- stone owes it to the cause of prohi bition to take up the fight In his conn ty and save Laurens for prohibition. A well Informed politician says "the fight Is still in the senate.” Prohibition will gain a vote in New berry, one in Marion and perhaps one in I/exington county and possibly lose one in Laurens. The prohibitionists need to work for the control of the next senate, and Mr. Featherstone should be the next senator from Laurens cGonty thereby keeping that county’s vote in the senate on the side of prohibition. pelzer Man Suicides.
