Gannt is another state officer who was
assistant to his predecessor. and IS
now serving his first term in his off,
cial capacity. His reelection seems
practically assured. There is little
doubt too that Comptroller General
a. w. Jones viii be again in Office
when the ballots are counted. He too
was elected to the comptrollership
after serving as clerk in that Office.
Adjt. Gen. John D. Frost came up the
same way. for it will be remembered
that he was assistant to Adj. Gen. J.
W. Floyd. 1t was stated some time
ago that Col. J. c. Boyd OF the First
regiment would be candidate for
Gen. Frost's position but he has stated
to the contrary.

LAW AND ORDER LEAGUE.
Temporary Organization Effected In
Newberry, After Address BY
The Rev. MI. Hanson.

A temporary organization OF a
Temperance. Law and Order league
was effected in the opera house on
Tuesday night, after an address by the
Rev. Vernon I'Anson, who is devot-
ing his time to the organization OF
such leagues throughout the southern
states. The meeting was attended by
about twenty-five persons. The Rev.
Mr.. I'Anson was introduced by Mr..
A. C.. Jones, who had issued the call
and arranged for the meeting, at Mr..
I'Anson's request. Mr.. FAnson call
ed on DR.. E. P. McClintock for prayer,
which was offered.
Mr., PAnsor, in an addres OF some
length, explained the purpose and
scope of the organization which it was
desired to effect in Newberry. The
movement in South Carolina, he said,
had started with the formation OF a
league, in Columbia last October. 1t
was Christian federation for. public
righteousness: a citizens organiza-
ton for official rectitude. 1t was not
political, except insofar as it should
be an organization for good people
helping good.true the politics. 1t was a
means to an ead,-eo aid the present
efficient officers OF the law to enforce
the splendid laws on the statute
books.
There were several reasons for or
ganizations in this state, said Mr..
Hanson. Ore was the recent report
of the attorney general, in which 222
killings were reported during last
year. This was only small percen-
tase. The attorney general had re-
ported only three in Rehland coun-
ty. Mr.. I'Arson said he knew OF nine
and had recently heard that there
were twelve So instead of 222 killings
in this state during last year, there
were probably 400. London. with its
100000 people, had only 90 killings,
He believed that Is per cent Of the
crimes were due to the use of intoN-
icating liquors.

the regular afternoon service. when an
elaborate program was rendered.
The day was appropriately observed
at the Central Methodist church. the

was brought by the pastor. the Rev
DR.. T. P. McClintock, his theme being

Columbia State.

Columbia State.
Since the adjournment of the legis-
lature politics has settled into more or
less quietude, but talk of the coming
campaign for state Offices is beginning
to be heard on the streets. in the state
house and in the places where poll
ticians and their friends congregate
1t is not probable that the campaign
will be at all exciting The officers
OF the present administration. with
the exception OF two. seem assured OF
no opposition. and the public can hope
for no repetition OF the sensational
summer OF two years ago.
There has been no announcement of
opposition to Gov. Hayward. 1t was
rumored that Mr. Martin F. Ansel of
Greenviiie, one OF the candidates who
made the race in 1902 and finished a
very close second, would again offer,

seems an attractive plum for there are
always plenty Of seekers after the
fruit. The term is six years and the
salary $1,000 per annum.
This is the situation today but it is
so early that it is dangerous to make

Mr.. IAnson said he wished TO re-
Ter to no law in particular though he
might discuss one or two. The object
OF his league was to enforce all law.
One OF the greatest mistakes i'll the
d;spcnSary law. he thought. was the
conStabulary system. There were
many and grave reasons why this was
a mistake The local officers OF a
community. he said. were sufficient TO
manage the affairs OF any community.
He believed in local Self-government.
The original plan OF the dispensary
law was the best solution OF the liquor
question he has ever known OF. But
the diSpcnsary OF today and the dis
pensary oi the original plan were not
kinspeople. He was here to light. not
the diSpensary. but the evils oi the
diSpeu<ary. Corn whiskcy in this and
other states was distilled today and
tomorrow by the Use ii chemicals ]:
was made S-year-old rye.
He referred 10 the TACT that Gov
ernor Hayward had thought il ::ec-
eSsary 10 send the last Legislature a
special message on the subject OF
lynching. He wanted to enforce all
laws. He denounced lynching. The
white people of the south aud OF the
country ought to live on too high
plane to descend to such depths
And he said this as a southerner and
as one who was Confederate soldier,
and who was never prouder OF the
fact than now.
The two-foid objec, OF the league
was to create reverence and respect
for all law; and, secondly, to arrange
to prosecute the guilty and to notify
officers OF the law OF any violations
which they may not see. and to hold
aggressive meetings and wage cease
less war against evil.
In reply from a question from Mr..
+. H. Dominick. Mr. IAnson said that
the league in South Carolina had
started the movement embodied in
the original Brice bill. which passed
the last legislature weighed down
with amendments. (Thc original
| Brice bill simply gave counties the
r;gh, TO vote out established dispen-
SariesD
At the conclusion OF Mr. IAnSon' 5
remarks. Mr.. 4. c. Jones made an ad-
dress. in which he said he heartily en-
dorSed the purposes OF the league. al
though he did not think it went quite
Jar enough. He said he had had a
talk with the governor OF South Caro-
lima recently and the governor had
told him that he (Mr. Jones) was re-
sponsible for his election for govern
or Mr. Jones said this might have
been. but If it was. it was because the
governor had told him III private CON
versasion prior to his candidacy tina,
he was opposed to the dispensary law
The governor had since changed. but
Mr.. Jones had not.

Death Of Mr.. B. C.. Iyey.

Readers of the Banner will be panied
to learn of the death of Mr.. B. C. Ivey,
brother of Mr.. w. E. Ivey, which oc-
CURED at his home in Denton, Texas,
on Sunday, the 9th inst; aged about as
years.
Mr.. 1vey had been in failing health
for some months past, and only the day
before his death had just returned from
an extended trip to Michigan, made in
an effort to regain strength and health.
His illness, however, being deep seated,
medical skill and health resorts could
not tide him over.
He was a native of Bossier and was
born some miles from the present site of
Haughton. He grew to be young man
in this and Red River parish; after his
marriage he moved to Texas. Many of
the residents of these parishes remem-
Der him, and none cherish aught but the
kindliest feelings and can call to mind
only generous deeds and thoughtful for
bearance on his part. He was generally
we'll liked.
Mr.. Abbey Ivey, his Oldest son, and
who lives here with his Uncle Walter
was in Denton at the time of his fathers
death. Mr.. w. f. Ivey was on his way
there when telegram received here an.
nounced the death.
Mr.. Ivey, leaves brother and sister
Mr.. w. E. Ivey, and Mrs. John May, O.
Denton, Texas, and wife and fou
children-Abney, Myrtle, Walter ant
Ben. Other relatives and a large circl,
of friends mourn his death.

DEATH OF MRS. RANDALL.
Widow of Late Representative Samuel
J. Randall of PENNSYLVANIA,

Fannie Ward Randall, widow of the late
Samuel J. Randall, for years the demo-
cratic leader in the House of Representa-
tives, is dead at her nome at Chestnut
Hill, a suburb of Philadelphia. She was
daughter of Gen. Aaron Ward of Ossining,
N Y who was a member of Congress from
1927 to 1913. Mrs. Randall was prominent
in official circles in Washington during her
husbands long career the represent
tative Of the third congressional district of
Pennsylvania, but since her husbands
death she has lived quietly at Chestnut HILL
Mrs. Randall died suddenly Saturday af-
ternoon at her home in Chestnut Hill from
stroke of apoplexy. One of her daugh-
tiers, Annie R., who was the wife of Mr..
c. c. Lancaster of this city, died a year
ago. Miss Susan w. Randall and Samuel
]. Randall, jr., daughter and son, survive
her. The remains will be buried tomorrow
afternoon in the family vault at Laurel
cemetery, Philadelphia.
The announcement Of Mrs. Randall
death will be received in this city with
great sorrow, for the wife of no public
man was ever more highly esteemed. The
comfortable home Of the family on Capitol
Hill, during Mr.. Randall's long service in
Congress, was better known than many Of
the more pretentious residences of the west
end. Mrs. Randall has only been here on
short visits of late years
