MR.. FEATHERSTONE
EXPRESSES REGRET
Statewide Prohibition, However, is
Only Delayed for Short Time,
He Thinks.


He Thinks.
In view of the fact that Hon. G. G.
Featherstone of this city has been
connected with the fight for prohibi-
tion in South Carolina for many years
and is still interested therein. and that
he is already an avowed candidate for
governor in 1910 as an advocate of
Statewide prohibition, the Reporter
called upon Mr.. Featherstone Monday
morning for an opinion on the out
come of the liquor fight in the general
assembly, which was brought to a
close late Saturday night While by
no means discouraged by the result
Mr.. FeatherStone made no effort to
conceal his disappointment that the
prohibition forces were compelled to
accept compromise. His opinion
was that while he had hoped for more
yet this new law would result in the
acquisition of much more dry" ter
ritory
Continuing Mr.. Feathevstone said:
Il must confess that had hoped
for better things.
My preference all along has been
for Statewide Referendum Act re-
ferring the whole question to the peo-
pie. for settlement. This. in my opin-
ion, would have been better by a great
deal than the plan adopted by the
General Assembly
Our trouble, all along, has been
that there are in the General Assembly
a good many men who. at heart. are
prohibitionistS, and some of them from
dry counties, who felt that they were
virtually instructed to stand by local
option Some Of these would. in an
ee uon vote for Statewide prohibi-
tioh. All of them Will vote for prohi-
bition in an election in their own
counties. But they did not feel that
they were at liberty now to vote that
way in the General Assembly.
There are others. throughout the
State who are Just as good prohibi-
tioniStS as any of us, but who might
be styled local option prohibitonists'
They vote that way in their county
elections. but they do not believe that
the time has come for Il Statewide
law
Up to a year "go, felt very much
the same way, but a close study OF the
question has convinced me otherwise.
now think that the whole question
ought to be submitted to the people
and let them settle ii for the entire
State.
However that result can and will
be brought about later. There is no
use to cry over split milk.
THE thing for us to do is to max"
the best of what we have
II am satisfied that at least twu.
thirds of the wet counties can be vn,eG
dry next summer. if the proper effo"l
is made. / expect to devote the big
gest part of my time this summer 90
assisting the wet counties to vote
whiskey out. am in for the war.
Another great work that we can
do is to organize for the enforcement
of the law in the counties that are al
ready dry.
to be discouraged by failure to ac-
complish what we had hoped in the
General Assembly.

ways exercised official functions in the
the enjoyment of the lands set apart
for their use, supervising the selling
of such lands, and also taking care of
the proceeds for the Indians, and then
the act of March l, 1901, is referred to.
This act provides for the selling of
lots in the town sites in Muskogee or
the Creek nation reservation at auc-
tion to the highest bidder at not less
than their appraised value. The act,
however, contained a provision in IA
of the lands within the town sites in
that it permitted such persons to pur-
chase not more than two lots at one
half of their appraised value
How Alleged Scheme Worked.
Under these circumstances it is
charged the defendants, i'll violation
of section 5,440 of the revised stat
utes of the United States, conspired
to manage matters by means of dunn
miles," so that they finally would come
into possession of many valuable
leases in Muskogee at one-half their
appraised value.
They were first to schedule with the
town site commission the names of all
different parts of the United States,
and so set the government machinery
in motion which would finally result
in the issuance of patents in those
names
While the machinery was grinding
the defendants would secure quit claim
deeds from those prospective patent
ees. Having secured the record title
the defendants would then hasten to
dispose of the lots to innocent third
parties. The result of this is argued
as a fraud upon the United States and
also upon the Greek nation, wards of
the government.
Many Crimes Are Charged.
Overt acts to the number of AZ in
the first indictment, 13 in the second
and 92 in the third are set forth as
having been committed by the differ
ent defendants. These overt acts con.
sisted in the writing of letters, signing
of deeds, and then making of payments
and accepting patents from the gov
ernment.
In cases where dummies" refused
10 sign quit claim deeds or demanded
money, it is charged forgery of deeds
in their names was resorted to to com
plete the claims of title.
The indictments charge that the con
spiracy was started in May, 1901, ant
ended Feb. 8, 1909. This prevent.
| Haskell from setting up the statute
of limitations as a defense.
