Lined Up With Patrieian Faction.
Bywaters, who was accepted by the
community as the sweetheart OF Vic.
la strother, was atillated in politics
with the patrician faction of the. DEM
ocratic party, which is represented by.
the Rixey-Barbour- Grimstey combina.
ton. The Rixeys are relatives OF.
Surgeon General Rixey, or the United
States Navy, while the Barbonrs are
the relatives of the former president
of the Richmond and Danvtile Rail.

related to the Bywaters. Bywaters.
mother having been a Grimstey.
Billy Bywaters paid little attention to
politics, except to follow his own i'm.
mediate family. and in this way new.
er ciashed with his cousins, the
Strother boys. The latter have not
the social polish Of the opposing pc.
lttical faction, but they could get out
the vote and were generally success.
ful in electing their own men to of.

A few years ago Billy Bywaters was
Selected by the Rixey.Barbour fac.
ton, because Of his popularity, to run
for the ofice OF county treasurer,
then filed by s. r. Smith, an adher.
|ent of the strother faction. He ran.
against Smith. The campaign was.
the most heated known In that sec.
ton. Everybody wanted to vote for
Bywaters, but the strother faction
put on the screws and kept their fol.
lowers in line. Smith was compelled
to spend $1,000 to secure his election,
and two weeks before It took place
wanted to Withdraw, believing that
he was hopelessly beaten. The
Strothers would not hear of 1t.
Saloon Menteea Hywaters.
BY an arrangement with some Of
Bywaters' managers It was decided to
close the saloons the day the pri.
maries We're held. This was fatal to
Bywaters, as the saloon men and the
votes they controlled beliefed BY
waters was becoming too straight.
laced politically. and voted for Smith.
Bywaters was beaten by less than 100
votes. !
From that time on he was not as !
popular with the strother faction as
he had been. He was stfIl a welcome

~ feeling Of the brothers was gone.
They regarded Bywaters as a dan
gerous political opponent, but made
no effort to win him over TO their
side. The strothers hold that IL a
man does not want to follow their
lead he can fallow anybody else he
pteases. but that he can expect no
faEors from them.
