S'"So oAsPouoei hPpOluleu'
Gov. Tll'man h's appointed D. II Traxler,
wealthy merchant of Timmonsvilic, Flor

disponsary law. The Governor has been
active and energetic in making all prepare
tion necessary for the enforcement Of the
law. While we cannot endorse the JAN,
believing it to be wrong in prinsi ple, AMI
that while it may correct an>eYil- in Sonhs
cases it will create greater evils in many
ways. We hope the people Throughout the
State will render tho officers appointed to
enforce it every assistance to give it fair
and honest test.
We recognize both good and evil in the
law, but if the elements for good predomi-
nate, or can be so directed or managed as to
keep in check the great evil of intempsr-
auce, upon the doctrine that "ue may do
evil that good should comc.' we shall cordial

STATE CouRTs TO DE TURNED ixro PoLI7iozI
MACHINES. s.-Columbia, s.. c., March 6.--A.
very interesting political rumor came ont
yesterday in reference to the Judgsship in
the 9Th judicial district. 1t is stafei rs
rumor, but what is G ven in connection with
il are fac s. 1t is we'll known that all OF
the Judges who are not on the fright side
are slated FIR decapitation, and in keeping
with this scheme, and expecting 1t 10 be
carried out, candidates are already beginning
to appear. In Judge wi,her.poon's district
he will have rs opponent, Assistant Attoa
ney General Buchanan, and it is thought
that Senator ID. Il Finley, of York, will enter
the contest. Heretofore Senator Finley has
expressed himself as being in favor of Judge
WiiberspOon's reelection, but according to u
well informed source the Senator will be =
candidate himself.
In the same connection it may be stated
that Attorney General Townsend is . eandi-
date for Judge Wnllacs's position, and those
who are on the "inside' state that his s'ss-
ton Is sure.
1. wa, learned from q pretty good source
that Congressman McLaurin would be a
candidate for the Associate Judgeship in
place of Judge McGowau. II has been an
open political secret that Speaker Jones ha
been booked for this place and had his titles
clear, but the advent of "Curly Headed
Johnnie" in The arena adds additional inter
est to the fight. The Congressman's friends
in Columbia admit that his chances for re-
election to Congress is slim indeed, for he
has been openly accused of having used
sharp methods to obtain the nomination
against tho Hon. ". d. Evans. In couse-
quence of this the Hon. j. L. McLauiin's
