FeatherStOn and Sims Clash.

The time Of the State board of
canvassers was today taken up with
the hearing of contests in the I,au-
rcns diSpcnsary election cases, and
the elections in the Ist, end and
9TH Congressional districts.
The I,aurcns contest was the
principal thing before the board in
Importance and the argument of
counsel became at one point acri-
monious and led to personal ell
counter between the opposing coun-
sci, {. {. Fcatlerstonc, Of I,aurens,
and {. p. Sims, Of Spartanburg.
During the argument of Mr. Sims,
representing the contestant, he re-
icrrcd several times to the "craZy
Prohibitionists,' who, he said,
could not see the facts except in
their own way, intimating, it
seemed, that they We're SO blinded
by prejudice as not to be able to
tell the truth. He was referring
particularly to the meeting of citi-
zcns. held at the call OF the super
visor to ascertain whether one
fourth the number of voters had
signed the petition for an election.
Mr.. Feathcrstonc, representing
the prohibitioniSts, requested Mr..
Sims TO stick TO the record and dis
continue his references to the "craZv
ProhlbitianiStS.' Mr.. Sims replied
that nc would settle with Mr.. Fcath-
crNloNr outside afterwards, where.
upon Mr.. l;catlcrN,Ouc said he
would settle right then, and the
two attorneys were in instant COM
bat. Both are heavy of build and
muscular, Mr.. l>cathcrStonc, in
his youth, having been a baseball
player OF note, and tho fight, though
short, WAS vigorous. When the
lW" were separated, Mr.. Sims WAS
bleeding about the face and Mr..
FcathcrstOnc had a Slight bruisc ol
the check. Both apoloyizcd to the
board.
The points raised 10y the I.aurcns
contest are familiar, the validity OF
the registration laws being involved
and the compliance of the county
authorities with the provisions of
the local option law being oucs-
toned by the contestant.
III the Congressional contests,
the same old questions of the regis
tration Of voters and the regularity
of the returns were presented
Jacob Moorer, of Orangcburg, tho
colored lawyer, appeared for tho
contestant. Richardson, and Prio.
lcau and Myers were present also
The board dismissed the contests
in all the cases before it, sustaining
