I over one's views and p .o see how this predlctioi at Mr. Nash will push his p .40a pill, and in the house Mr. uichurds, Mr. D. L. Smith and others will per .iaps support it. Senator Talbarfs three bills - providing for prohibition jan be taken from the table, and Senator Carllsl?. Ott* and others may Join the Edgefleld senator In his fight But what Is the record of the pres? ent general assembly? An examination of the journal of aach house may give Interesting re? mits. in the house the State dispensary forces Joined with certain prohlbtion rtts In an effort to pass & prohibition olll so as to cut off the Carey-Coth un local option bill. This prohibi? tion bill, presented by Mr. D. I* JmJth, of Colieton, |proved to be a 31)1 strikingly similar to the bill of Mr. Nash, but Mr. Nash believing It jnwtse to take chance* on not killing the State dispensary played Abraham to his bill's Isaac, and threw his vote, voice and Influence to secure the pas ?Ige of the Carey-Cothran bill. The first decisive vote in the house >n this question waa on the motion to Adopt D. U Smith's substitute as fol? lows: Teas, 55; Nays, 68. Another important vote was on Mr. Richard's motion to indefinitely peel pone th 5 Carcy-Cothran b'll, as follows: Yeas, 49; Nays, 73. On Mr. H?cker s motion to table the Rlchards-Raysor-Manning-TUl nan bill to purify the State dispen? sary: Tess 17; Nay*, 53. There Is a difference of four .otes in the vote on the motion to till (indefinitely postpone) the Ca ey-Cothran bill, and the motion to Kill (lay on table) the Richards bill. Che difference waa made by the fol " vtng: DUon voted against the Ca ?e> -Cothran bill, but did not vote on he Richard's bill; Stubbs did the I. Goodwin and Teldell Voted -"ilnat both bills. Miller voted for he Carey-Colhran bill, but did not' /ott on the Richards bill. Ballentine, iks, CosgroVe. De bore, Doar, Har? ri on, and Wlmberly voted for both Mil* (doubtlea* for parliamentary reasons) Bo yd did not vote on the 'arey-Cothran bill and voted for the Richard* bill. (When it 1* said a member did not vote it Is meant that e I* not recorded In the Journal as voting; he may have been abteilt at no roll call and present at the neat) The,members who have died or re? signed since the 1907 session* are rec? orded as follows: Mr. Bpting voted for the Smith prohibition bill; voted against the 'arey-Cothran bill: voted for the Richards purification bill. He is suc? ceeded In the house by Mr. W. B. Wannamaker. Mr. McArthur, voted against the mich bill; for tne Carey-Cothran bill, and against the Richards bill.1 T IIa successor has not been elected. Mr. Marshall, who resigned, voted -gainst the Smith bill, for the Ca ey-Cothran bill and against the llchards bill. He Is succeeded by Mr. Bryan. Mr. White voted against the Smith ?111; for the Carey-Cothran bill and vgainst the Richards bill. He is suc? ceeded by Mr. Major. Take those who voted for tho ?mIth bill, which was used as a tacti? cal move: Messrs Ayer, of Florence; Pal ey. if Beaufort: Brlce, of Fairfleld; Carson, of Orange burg; Dick, o; Sllmter; Dlxon, of Fairfleld; Garris, of Bamberg; Gary, of Abbeville; Harmon, of Richland; Harris, of Lee; Hydrick. of Orangeburg; Leit? ner, of Falnleld; McKeown, of Ches? ter; Mlley, of Famberg; Sawyer, of Georgetown; Hharpe. of I. xington; Stlllwell, of Abbeville; ritubba, of Sumter; Tatum, of Lee, Tompk ns, of Itlehland und Wlngnrd, of Lexing? ton, come from counties which not unly are not prohibition, but in which the COtnty dispensary pytttM has proved to be llnanclally successful and generally popular. Unless they vote for prohibition thni column loses 23 of Its 55 votes, leaving but 32 to start the fight on. That Is Ju.<t Hnlf enough; ?3 is the nftmber need ed. { H Ok, the other hand, sonvj avov/ed prohlajtlonlsts (for instance, Mr. N'jish.i) voted against thr Hmith bill.

That is six short ol ine majority. If the 55 votes cast for the D. L. >mlth bill could be retained for that neasure and the nine members rated is prohibitionists but. who voted against the Smith bill should now support it, the Nash-Smith bill could oe passed, having a total of 64, or one more than a majority.
