An Analysis Of the Vote.
Take those who voted for the Smith
bill. which was used as tactical
move:
Messrs. Aver. Of Florence; Bailey,
Of Beaufort; Brice, Of Fairfield; Car
son, Of Orangeburg; Carwile, Of Alb
beville; Cutler, Of Orangeburg; Dick,
of Sumter; Dixon, Of Fairfield; Gar
ris, of Bamberg; Gary of Abbeville;
Harmon. of Richland; Harris, Of
Lee; Hydrick, cf Orangebrug; Lett
ner, of Fairfield; McKeown, Of Ches-
ter: Miley, of Bamberg: Sawyer, OF
Georgetown; Sharpe, Of Lexington;
Stillwell, Of Abbeville; Stubbs, of
Sumter: Tatum, Of Lee; Tompkins,
of Ricaland, and Wingard, of Lex
ington, come from counties which not
only are not prohibition, but in which
the. county dispensary system has
proved. to, be. financially successful
AID generally popular. Unless they
vote for prohibition that column loses
% of it's 55 votes, leaving but 80 to
start the fight on. That is just half
enough; 63 is the number needed.
On the other hand, some avowed
prohibitionists (for instance, Mr..
Nash,) voted against the Smith bill.
