Columbia, S. C., May 23. -At 8.30
o'clock the delegatts to -the prohibi
tion convention ar cotming in. There
was a delay in get ing i he ball light
ed. Chairman . ones called the
meeting to order rnd read the call
assembling the C legates. T. N.
Berry was elected temporary chair
man. The conver tion was openod
with prayer by the Rev. Dr. Gwalt
noy, of Edgefiold.
Prof. A. B. Stal worth, of Green
ville, was elected t mporary secreta
ry. R. E. NicholF -i, of Edgefield,
was elected assistar.t secretary.
The temporary >rganization wias
made pormanent. Tho delegates
were then onirolh 1. Twenty live
counties were repri -eantod and fifteen
had no representalon0.
Colonel Hoyt re. -I an address ar
raigning the dispeisary lawv. He re
garded the time as opportune for the
prohibitionists to 'ict. The advisa
bility of having t he addro-s pub
lished evoked much discussion.
Mr. Featherstone was opposed to
publishing the add ess Unless mo~di
fled, lie regardedl the charges as
too strongly stated.
Mr. Brunson, to tost the sense of
the convention, i,oved to suggest
candidates for gove.rnor and lieu ten
ant governor.
Mr. Hane moved to amend by in
cluding all State ollicials.
Mr. Jones, of Newberry, said the
constitution, article' (, prohilbited the
nomination of any candidates. Hoe
belheved the exec:utive committee
would rule the prohibition candidates
out and not count their votes. He
was opposed to any nominations.
Such a convention in his opinion was
undemocratic and unawiso. He was a
prohibitionist and wvould vote for no
an who y, did not espouse their
cause.
Mi-. Smith was in. favor of nomina
-tions. There was nothing in the
~onstitutiOn of thI dlemocrat ic party
h ibiting such ae' ion. T1he section
erred only to thi nominees in the
;>cratie primary.
o convention, on motion of Mr.
on, agreed to suggest candi
'for governor, lieutenant gover
d attorney general .only.

".. That compoteney, honesty and
sobriety are indispensablo qualifica
tions for holding oflico.
"2. The tOxes should be made as
low as possiblo consistent with the
efficiency of the government.
"3. That tho sale of intoxicating
liquors for beverage purposes is not
a function of government but a dis
graco to Christian civilization, a dis
honor to manhood, a political wrong
of unparalleled enormity; that it is
an awful crime against the women
and children, against the home,
against the church and against God.
"4. That prohibition of the sale
of intoxicating liquors as beverago
purposes is the true consistent rem
edy, and to this end we demand that
the dispensary systm he shorn of its
evils, such as solling intoxicants as a
bevorago, and that authority be giv.
on by t he general assembly for t he
S!ate to sell alcoholic liquors o1N,y
