LOCAL OPTION SURVIVES
AN DNPRECEDENT FIGHT
SENATE GAVE MAJORITY TO
CAREY Y-COTHRAN BILL.
The Amendments Are Not Such That
They Will Cause Any Disagree
ment Between the two Branch
... es Of the General Assembly.

On the motion to pass the Carey
Cothran bill to third reading the vote
ain the senate was as follws:
s Yeas-Appelt, Bates, Bivens,
Brooks, Carlisle, Carpenter, Crouch,
Graydon, Hardin Haynes Holiday,
sMauldin, MCGOWAN, Otis, Sinkler,
Smith, Sullivan, Talbert Toole, Will
liams-Total 81.
Nays-Black, Blease, Clifton, Ear
!. lie, Efird, Hough, Johnson, Kelly,
Laney, Raysor, Rogers, Stackhouse,
Walker, Wells, Weston-Total IS.
j Senator Christensen was paired
with Senator Griffin. IF Senator Grif-
lin had been present he would have
I#yoted "nay" and Senator Christensen
would have voted "yea. ," Senator
sSMcKeithan was paired with Senator
sFownsend. Had Mr.. Townsend been
present lie would have voted "nay"
'sand Senator McKeithan would have
voted "yea.'
n Senator Bass who has been ill at
#his home in Williamsburg, was not
8present. Had he been present would
lshave voted "aye."
81 The real strength Of the senate,
sScounting the pairs and absentees,
Would have been aye "a, nay II, a
ma jority Of seven against the state
Haispensary.
sss One Of the senator's who has work
ed tirelessly for local option and
against the state dispensary machine
sSaid last night that he had been told
Ms months ago by wise men that the
task was impossible; 1S months from
nov they will wonder why they ever
$tolerated it.
Sl8 The death of the dispensary is as
sssured. The senate s majority may be
reduced when the bill comes up for
..athird reading, but the bill will pass.
Some think there will be an even lar
ger majority to its credit. Senator
was not present, but, on
She presumption that he opposed the
ssbtlb his friends secured a pair with
McKeithan. 1t is believed
that Senator Townsend will support
tIIe amended bill.
The two houses have now passed
ssthe bill. The following is the correct
vote i'll the house of representatives,
