Yves Wright and Joseph Wagner,
members of the county board, spent
yesterday driving from Buena Vista
eastward and south along near the
range line to the head of Lake Be
midi, and they believe that a line
for a fine county road can be OBJ
tanned and the road constructed with
but little difficulty.
The route as passed over by the
commissioners would be almost dir
ectly south from Fox lake, striking
the head of the lake near Lavina.
There is a good road from Lavina
around the north and west side of
the lake to Bemidii, and would
give the farmers a fine road to the
city.
The road as proposed would be
of much benefit to the farmers living
north of Lake Bemidji and east of
Buena Vista toward Turtle River
and Farley, and is much needed.

Gov. Hayward Announces His Candi
dacy for United States Senator.

Ex-Gov. ID. G.. Hayward Thursday
night announced that he would be a
candidate in the Democratic primary
this summer for the nomination to
the United States senate. Gov. Hey
ward has received messages and COM
muncations from all parts OF the
State urging him to announce his
candidacy Last night he stated de-
iinitely that he will become candi-
date. and he expects to win.
Il will be candidate for United
States Senator in the Democratic
primary this Summer" he said, land
will make the race on my record and
qualifications for the Office, whirh |
South Carolina.
The constitution OF the Democratic
party in South Carolina provides that
each candidate for the United States
senate shall file a pledge that he Will
support the political principles Of the
party during the term Of Office for
which he may be elected and work in
accord with his Democratic associates
in congress on all party questions.
/
and will therefore be bound by the
platform adopted by the national
Democratic convention at Denver. At
present it is not necessary to discuss
national issues.

am in the race and in to win"
Gov Hayward came into politics
six years ago. Up to that time he
had q considerable personal acquaint-
ance over the State. Capt. Hayward
with four opponents, lacked 1900
votes Of receiving the nomination on
the first primary. In the second
primary he had sweeping victory, q
majority Of 10000 votes. In his
own county. Colleton, he lost but 5S
out Of 2,200 votes. Another remark
able feature Of his career is that he
had no opposition for reelection, the
first time In years, possibly since the
war, that such had been the case.
1t Is understood that Gov. Hey
ward is not seeking election at the
hand OF the legislature to fill the un
expired term. but Is In the campaign

Mr.. c. c. Featherstone Will Op-
pose Gov. AnseI This Summer.
The Distinguished Prohibitionist An.
nounces His Candidacy on an An
ti-Dispcnsary Platform.

I-Dlspcnsary Platform.
The Columbia correspondent of
The News and Courier says tho pol
itical situation was still further com
plicated by the announcement Thurs
day night that Mr.. c. c. Feather
stone, Of Laurens, VIII be q candi-
date for Governor in the primary
this summer.
Mr. Featherstone was In Columbia
Thursday night on his way home
from Orangeburg County, where he
had gone to deliver two prohibition
speeches. He said he believed the
time for the enactment OF a State
prohibition law had arrived and that
he had acceded to the wishes Of his
friends to enter the race for Govern
or to advocate that policy.
Mr.. Feathcrstonc was candidate
for Governor in 1898 on the prohi-
bition platform and was defeated by
a combination OF peculiar circum-
stances. and by very narrow major
ity He has not since that time par
stand in tho next campaign is not
known.
Mr.. Featherstone is one Of the
strongest lawyers In the State, Is a
man Of fine address and manners and
| is personally very popular. He has
served as grand chancellor Of the
knights Of Pythias, and Is an ac-
tive and prominent member Of the
Methodist church.
Governor Ansel some time ago an
nounccd that he will be n candidate
for reelection. He was elected two
years ago on the platform OF local
option, but before that campaign he
was an out and out State Dispen-
sary advocate. Just where he will
stand in the campaign is not nown
Mr.. Feathcrstone is a candidate
that will have to be reckoned with.
Those who think that Gov. Ansel will
have walk-over in the campaign
this Summer will find that they are
|lnistukan at the end of the campaign.
Many who believe In the dispensary
will support Mr.. Featherstone against
Gov. Ansel.
Gov. Ansel is not near as strong
now as he was two years ago, and
many who voted for him then will
oppose him now. Many people regard
him as dictorial in the extreme, and
this has made him many enemies in
all parts OF the State.
There has been considerable talk
to the effect that Mr.. John G.. Rich
ards, OF Kershaw, may enter the race
for Governor this year and Mr.
Richards in reply to n question said
he had the matter under considera-
ton. He is also for State prohibit
tion. o
