a Fisticuff Between .Messrs. Sims
ami Pcutitcrstoao.
Before the State Heard of Canvnss
crs .Monday morning, ('. I*. Sims,
counsel for Ithetl Colemnn, petitioner,
Bough) to liavc the Undings of tin
Lam ens Board, relative to the dis
pensary election, set aside, and have
the election declared illegal. After
the arguments b> counsel ih<> Stale
Board dismissed the petition ami
unanimously sustained the County
Board.
The next step by Mr. Sims will be
to carry (he contest before the Su
preme Court where it will be dually
sei I led.
The only feature of the hearing
Monday morning wrs the fisticuff be
tween Mr. Feat herstone and Sims. The
latter grew intolerable in his refer
ences to the I,aureus prohibitionists
and Mr. Featherslone called him down.
Sims then said he would ?eitle with
Mr. Pout herstone outside, whereupon
Mr. Featherslone said the matter
would bo settled right there, and the
two were soon in combat. Sims' ar
guments before the Hoard implied that
Mr. Feathers tone and the other prohi
bitionists had lied. The Slate has (he
following account of die difllculty:
The feature of the* meeting was tin
difficulty between Mr. Featherslone
and Sims. The latter who is from
S partim burg, argued for the dispen
sary and attempted to persuade I'm
State board of canvassers to rovorsi
the action of the county election board
ami declare the election, which gnv<
Laarens prohibition. Illegal. The
ground of his argument was thai in
separate polling lists had been pl'ovid
cd for the managers of the election
and (hat they had not been HWOI'll
separately. In answering Mr. Feat I:
crstoiic, who argued lor Upholding the
Laurens county board, Mr. Sims made
several personal references to the pro
hibition leaders of Lnurens ami their
prohibition views. lie called thos
holding the opinion fanatics ami refer
red to the "colonels" who attempted
lo Control the VloWS of other people.
referring to Col. Ferguson, Col. II. V.
Simpson. Col. I-Vat herstone and others.
Here Mr. Fen I herstone interrupted.
"I have kepi out personaliiles in this
argument," he said to the hoard, "ami
would ask thai my friend on (he othei
side do likewise. Lot him slick to
I he record as I have done.'"
Sims stated thai he had said noth
ing bill what he thought was right,
ami he would continue to recite tin
fads. If Mr. Feat herstone did not
like it the trouble could be settled on
the outside. Mr. Featherstono said
it could ho settled without delay. Then
the two got together, and when I he
entire board pulled them apart Mr.
Sims had I wo bruises, one on each Bide
of his face, and Mr. Feat herstone had
a slight bruise under his eye. Itoth
apologized afterwards to the board
bill it was (he almost unanimous opin
ion of thai body that Mr. Sims had b>
his references provoked the bad feel
ing and had made remarks that bad
caused the difllculty.
Mr. Fonthorstono is a well known
attorney of Lnurens and Is considered
one of the State leaders of the prohi
bit ion cause. lie is held in high 08
leein by all. and his motives and char
acter have never hen questioned. He
came within 1.500 voles of being gO\
mini' on the prohibition platform in
180S.
Mr. Sims is also wo*l known in tin
upper part of the Sla 0.

that much Study and thought had been
given the subject.
At three o'clock in the afternoon, an
elegant dinner was served, every mem
ber present enjoying this part of the
program to the fullest extent. The
elaborate menu was a gastronomic
sensation and some were led into ex
cess that came near changing them
from doctors to patients, but on the
whole it took a right severe attack of
Indigestion to make the sufferers be
lieve that the feast was not worth any
reasonable price he had to pay in tem
porary discomfort.
Dr. VV. II. Dial offered as a toast.
"Fifty-seven years in the practice of
medicine." lie called on Dr. II. (}.

all things and hold fast to that which
is good.
Dr. H. K. Aiken, the popular cashier
of the Hank of Laurens being (he guosl
of honor, was called upon and in a
very witty speech jollied his fellow

speech was one of tin; hits of the
evening.
Dr. W. D. Ferguson responded to the
toast, "The duty of the Laurens County
Medical Soc iety to the Methodist Con
fer! nee."
All the speeches wo re good and were
thoroughly enjoyed. The association
