Columbia May 14.—Gov. Ansel has
removed from office Messrs. J. L.

i the county board of control for Wil
liamsburg county, on charges prefer
red some time ago. Mr. W. E. Snow
den, the other member of the board,
is not involved in the matter.
It will be recalled that this matter
was brought to the attention of the
State officials by reason of some let
ters written to whiskey houses by the
, clerk of the board and that Dispen
sary Auditor West held an investiga
tion, the testimony being taken down
’ and submitted to Gov. Ansel. Gov.
Ansel then summoned the two mem
bers to appear before hinT and show
cause why they should not be remov

held some time ago. The governor
now finds that the charges are sus
tained and before leaving for Wash

order removing Messrs. Bass and
Parker and it was sent to Sheriff Gra

HI8 OPPORTUNITY.
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.
