4. 4. EVANS DEFEATED
BY J. NJ. RAWLINS0N
RESULT OF ELECTION OF DIS
PENSARY OFFICIALS.
W. o. Tatum had no Opposition
John Black and Joe B. Wylie are
The Other Two Members of
the Board.

The two houses of the general as
sembly by some chance agreed upon
an hour for holding the elections to
fill vacancies which will soon exist in
the personnel Of the management Of
| the State dispensary. There had been
; filibustering over the proposition for
! a day or two and finally it was decid~
ed to dispose of the matter at noon
on Saturday.
The result as to the election Of a
chairman Of the board Of directors Of
the State dispensary was great sur
prise. Mr.. H. II. Evans, the incum-
bent, generally regarded as one Of the
most popular men in the State, was
defeated by MI. J. NJ. Rawlinson Of
Richland county. the vote being l03
! to 80. If all Of the absentees had been
present to vote. the ratio Of differ
ence in the votes might not have been
affected at all. This was quite sur
prise to every one, for although it
was known that the incumbent was
subject to a severe cross-fire, it was
believed his personal popularity
would give him a good start in the
race.
; Mr.. W. 0. Tatum was reelected
commissioner Of the State dispensary
and Maj. John Black formerly of
; Colleton, and MI. Joe B. Wylie Of
Richburg, Chester county. were elect
ed to succeed Messrs. Boykin and
+ :'Touill, who were not candidates for
Ireeleetion.
At II o'clock the two houses met
in joint assembly to elect commits
sion and three members Of the board
of directors Of state dispensary.
Senator Raysor nominated Mr.. W.
@. Tatum. This was seconded by Mr..
J. B. Watson of Anderson, who some
time ago was spoken Of as a candi-
date against Mr. Tatum- although
Mr.. Watson himself never announced
his candidacy. There was no other
nomination and Mr.. Tatum was elect
ed. The joint assembly consists OF
165 members and there were but us
