renee w. Youmans, of Barnwell,
will certainly be in the race. There
has been some talk of Adiutant
General Frost and the Governors
private secretary, J. e. Norment,
and f. III. Hyatt, but it is not likely
that any of these will offer.
Governor Hayward emphatically
announces that he will retire from
politics at the end of his present
term. He has been urged to oppose
Tillman for the Senate, but as much

that strong effort will be made to
defeat him. The only positive an
