The Anderson intelligencer. [volume] (Anderson Court House, S.C.) 1860-1914, 1899-07-05

The Columbia Record says that a
quiet conference of Prohibitionists
was held in that city Thursday night.
Among those present was Mr.. c.. G..
Featherstone, late candidate for Gov
ernor.
1t is little early to talk State poll
tics now, but the fact that confer
ence was being held by the representa-
tivcs of voters who comes so near
nominating their candidate last year
lent crcdcnce to the belief that prcpa-
rations were being made for the next
campaign.
Mr. Thomas j. I.aMottc stated this
morning that it was simply a confer
ence Of certain gentlemen interested
in the cause and that the meeting had
no Official significance. lie said that
as the Prohibitionists distinctly were
not party, the committee they had
during the last campaign ceased to
exist when the contest ended. How
ever, the Prohibitionists propose to
make another fight next year and thoy
will be thoroughly organized for the
contest, probably better than before.
1t was for this purpose that the con-
ference was hcld--to look over the
