- Columbia special to the Charlotte
Observer: c. c. Featherstone of Lau-
rens, prohibition candidate for gov
ernor when Ellerbe was elected on
the dispensary platform, is here, and
his friends are saying that he will
likely enter the race for governor
again this year. 1t is known that
many of the anti-dlspensary leaders
throughout the state have been writ
ing 10 him and personally urging him
to make the race, even after the an
nouncement of Joel E. Brunson and
the latter's formal entry into the race.
Mr.. Featherstone himself has not yet
made up his mind, The physical and
financial drain Of the campaign and
the loss of time 1t involves are the
drawbacks and may cause him not to
enter. He made a splendid cam
paign the last time he ran, however
and the prohibition leaders are trying
to get him to run again. IT Is said
now that Mr.. B. A. Morgan Of Green
Vile, decided at Sumter not to make
the race, and Mr. Featherstone's
friends say that he has so intimated
to them. If Mr.. Morgan announces
Mr.. Featherstone will not enter the
race.

the subject of discussion will be the
dispensary. So far no other meetings
for Senator Tillman have been arrang-
ed, but it Is thought that others Will
be planned after the Sandy Flat

will be a verw significant day, since
