AFTERMATH.
' : HON. WILLIAM J. SMILEY. OF
? WILLIAMSBURG COUNTY.A CAN-i
DOMTE FOR LIEUT.-GOVERNOR?
V ' '"There is always a touch of sadnfss
in parting," declared Mendel L
. $mith, Speaker of the House, in his
farewell address to members of that
[. body in the dying- hours of the ses[Uon.
ktol Today,with the 1914 session of the
^fteneral Assembly brought to a close,
PPonly a few members of the House
~ and the Senate in the city, his words!
[ are forcibly recalled.
It was a few minutes after 2:
? o'clock tlijs morning when the ses- i
t sion gave its last gasp and died.
Today the halls,where a few short
y hours ago.the walls rang with politl
' ical discussion and the hot words inh
cident to factional strife, were de!
'serted, save for the presence of a

be attaches and workmen, who must
?e that everything is placed in orer
before the dopre are finally
losed for another year.
1 _ Jo those to whom is given the
e power to feel deeply the subtle hu'
man side of a given situation, a pall
? df sadness seemed to o'erspread the
'Ctpitol building during the day.
f As to the complexion of both
I branches, the General Assembly will
be considerably changed next year
k and new faces will appear in Legis'
. lative halls, and many of the old time
members will be missing. There was
Wa/note of sadness in the very atraos fphere?and
this was accentuated by
Vthe weeping elements outside.
P Among those who will be missed
when the House reconvenes is the
Speaker, Mendel L Smith, who will
J mfike the race for Governor in the
F cominfir primaries; Josh Ashley, who
-has served for 20 years in the Lower
Branch of the General Assembly,may
not return? ?win# to ^is age and the
desire of members of his family that
he retire from the strife and turmoil
incident to political life.
* "Uncle Josh," as he is lovingly
r .called by his fellow members, while
F :his political opinions are so deep[
"rooted that he cannot* be swerved,
Lno matter what question may arise,
has many personal attributes which
IBhve endeared him his fellow
members.
It isn't often that' "Uncle Josh"
asks a favor of the House, But when
he does rise to speak lie is always '
Hpven a most considerate and re"
Kspectful hearing.
William F Stevenson, for 17 years
Ha member of the House and regardHbd
even by his political opponents as
Hone of the brainiest men who ever
bccupied a seat in that body,will also
be missing when the roll lis called
Ibext year.
Kf Mr Stevenson aspires to higher political
honors and is expected '.o en- '
ter the race for Congress to succeed Hjtongressman

It is doubtful if Dr C T Wyche, !
the able Speaker pro tem of the ,
House, will ever return to Legislative
halls as a member. Dr Wyche
was stricken with paralysis during
the present session and, though considerably
improved in health, will '
never again be the strong; robust
man of earlier days.
Representative W C Irby, Jr, of
I Laurens, will enter the race for
Lieutenant Governor, so he, also, 1
! will be eliminated,as will J H Moore, 1
who will also be a candidate for '
Lieutenant Governor. 1
J W Boyd, of Spartanburg, is not '
' > J
expected to oe a canamaie iur ic- .
election and J J Evans, of Marlboro,
will be a candidate for the State '
Senate,to succeed Senator McLaurin.
Representatives Lee, of Darlington,
and Fortner, of Spartanburg, '
will be in the race for Railroad Commissioner,
and M M Stanley, of Hor- 5
ry, may also be a candidate.
R M Mixson, a new member from J
Barnwell, will enter the race for 1
Congress against Congressman
Byrnes in the Second district.
J T Liles, of Orangeburg.who had
expected to run for Lieutenant Gov- .
ernor.has pulled out of the race and .
will seek re-election. W J Smiley, .
another well known House member,
will probably enter the lists for c
Lieutenant Governor.
Both Representatives Welch and '
Youmans, of Richland, will make .
the race for the State Senate to sue- !
ceed Francis H Weston. J A Hunter,
of Bamberg, is also a candidate !
forLieutenant Governor. .
There are others in the House, old "
members and new, who will not be 1
candidates for re-election. Some j
wiil seek election to the State Senate
and others,who will seek re-election, J
may be unable to secure endorsement
for another term.
New leaders are therefore sure to j
spring up and take the places of
those who have gone before them. 1
In the Senate numerous changes c
are likely. Senator McLaurin will f
probably make the race for Gov- s
ernor in the coming primaries and
will not return. Lieutenant Gov- ?
ernor Charles A Smith, who has presided
over the deliberations of the i
Upper Legislative body, is also ex-1c
pected to make the race for GoverDor.
Senator Sullivan, of Anderson,
will probably retire to private life. 0
Senator Weston of Richland, has 5
been appointed United State District j
Attorney, so he is eliminated, and a
there may be other changes. Sen- r
ator Mars of Abbeville, who was h
considering the advisability of run- t
ning for Lieutenant Governor, has t
aeiermineu nui, lo iuais.e mc mix q
and will, therefore, be a candidate p
for re-election.?Columbia Record. j\

Rev Mr Baker was seventy-four
old when he died. In his death, the
South loses another or ner oia veterans
of the Civil war. He volunteered
for duty at the very beginning
of the war, and was made a
captain for distinguished bravery
on the field. His record for courage
and his steadfast devotion to
duty is one that any soldier might
well be proud of.
In the early "80's", he offered
himself and was accepted by the
Methodist conference and for thirty
years he gave the very best that
was in him to that work. It is sufficient
to say that the same courage
and devotion that marked him as a
soldier were shown daily in all his
long ministry. All who knew him.
