COLONEL HENDERSON
URGED TO ENTER RACE.
His Friends Suggest That He An
nounce His Candidacy For Senate
in Coming Primary.

Col. ID. S. Henderson S friends have
been urging him To rccnlcr the race
Tor the United States senate since the
announcement Of cX-Gov. Hayward s
withdrawal. It is known that Mr..
llcyward $ candidacy had much to do
with MIR. Henderson $ withdrawal, as
they are from the same section, and
now that the former governor Is ,.::,
OF the race friends Of Col. Hcnder.
son feel that he should again get into
the running.
To a representative of the State,
Col. Henderson said that if it were
not for the fact that he has already
made preparations for an extended
European tour he would file his
pledge and enter the race. lie said
he expected TO sail for Europe this
week on the Lusitania and would be
gone for several months, this being
the only thing which would prevent
his becoming a candidate at this stage
of the game.
Col. Henderson is very able and
popular member of the Aiken bar and
has friends Of prominence in every
county in the State. His Aiken
friends especially regret that he Will
not consent to enter the race
The entrance Of Mayor Rhctt Of
Charleston into the race is still caus-
ING much speculation among the
friends Of the other candidates.
Many wise in political matters have
predicted that he will be in the see
"nd race. but Of course this is largely
speculation at this stage. Mayor Rhcti
is regarded as strong candidate,
nevertheless. and even though his an
nomcrmcnt comes late his friends
feel that he will make Il sufficient i'm
preston upon the voters Of the
State to easily be counted among th"
runners in the second heat.
1t has been expected for a year
hat Congressman a. +. Lever might
enter the race for the senate. When
cx-Giov. Hayward withdrew from the
race on account Of illness, il was
thought this might increase the pro-
liability Of Mr.. Lever entering ttx
senatorial campaign. But all spccula-
tion was put at rest yesterday when
Mr.. Lever filed his pledge and be-
came candidate for reelection

SENTIMENT VS.. PROHIBITION.
That is the Conclusion Of Dispensary
Auditor West-Present Liquor
System Gaining.
News and Courier.

News and Courier.
Columbia, June 13-In the opinion
Of Dispensary Auditor West, who is
constantly on the run into various
sections of the State on official busi-
ness, and who comes in contact with
and talks to all classes of people all
over the State, there has been
marked and steady slump in prohibi-
tlon, sentiment over the State during
the past ninety days. Hc has his
doubts as to whether prohibition
would get majority over the State
as whole were an election held on
that issue right now, and if the SEN
timcnt keeps on changing he is rath-
er Of the opinion that the August
primary would register continuance
of the present county option scheme
as the will of the people generally
Mr.. West does not know how to ac-
count for this change Of general feel
ing toward the question. He says
the people just appear to be settling
down to acceptance Of the present
situation, although the anti-saloon
people are keeping up their fight
against the traffic. The fact that the
question is practically eliminated
from the summer campaign, the ,c-
solution to provide separate box at
the primary for the issue having been
overwhelmingly voted down in the
State convention last month, may
have much to do with the general at.
| titudc.
Mr.. West himself is Il prohibition.
iSt and his observation is not father.
cd by his desire in the premises. Mr..
West makes the interesting comment,
| which, he says, is abundHntly borne
ont by the records. that if all mem
bcrs Of churches whose church law
sets them in a militant attitude to-
ward liquor were to withdraw their
patronage from the dispcnsarics from
one end Of the State to the other, the
Justly celebrated county dispcnsary
system would dry up in thirty days
for want of enough business to pay
! expenses.
