Generals Lee and Featherstone,
Col Stone, Maj Barksdale and
Col. Campbell, candidates for Gov
ernor, we're at GIeenville last week.
They all had friends and supporters
as they we'll deserve to have.
From the situation at present, Ii the
race was to be decided next week,
we think it would be between Stone
and Barksdale with chances in favor
of the latter.
Hemingway has had the Treas
urers office a long time and it looks
like he is going to keep it until he
dies and that he will take his time
about that. Stone, Miller and
Govan have not enough opposition
to make it interesting. Things may
change somewhat but we think the

since. The u. S., Supreme Court
