SuDoTndtOTldI FTCqnOStiCdIlOrls- HN
Greenwood Index, usually an accurate
forecaster as to political matters, be-
lieves from the reports ii gets that
Featherstone will lead the primary for
governor, with Blease or Mcleod a
close second, with Hyatt, Richards
and Duncan following in the order
named. This newspaper does not pre-
tend to be a political prophet, and we
are not informed as to conditions in
the up-country, but since the campaign
meetings have been held in this part
of the state we have been at some
pains to inquire as to sentiment. From
what we can gather Featherstone has
lead over any other candidate, but
Richards and Mcleod are gaining
strength. Most of McLeod's vote Is
coming from the former Blease vote,
and it is our candid opinion that in
this section of the state at least Blease
will get much smaller vote than
usual. his vote going to Mcleod. Rich
ards is getting some of the Feather
stone .vOte down here, while Mr..
Hyatt'S candidacy is not making a Sc
rious impression. Not that he does not
make good speeches and is wei! re-
ceived. but the people generally seem
to have the idea that this is not his
time to run.-Bamberg Herald.

Mr.. Featherstone Not Inconsistent
Che Columbia State has sipnallX failed

The Columbia State has signally failed
to make good it's charge of inconsistent
cy against Hon. G. G. Featherstone.
The State charged that Mr.. Feather
stone, now the prohibition candidate
for governor, had at one time advO-
Gated local option.
This is true, but it is also true that
Mr. Featherstone said at the time that
he favored local option only as means
to an end-as a step toward complete
state wide prohibition.
AS The Yorkville Enquirer points
out, Mr.. Featherstone has always stood
for prohibition, even when favoring
local option as the best thing obtaina-
BILE at that time.
And as The Enquirer points out, Mr..
Featherstone, realizes, as others do,
that the cause of prohibition must go
forward. 1t cannot stand still. Unless
the whole state is made dry, those
counties which are now dry may go
back to selling liquor.
The fight for prohibition has been
long and hard one. Mr.. Featherstone
was among the first in the state to ad-
vocate the cause of prohibition, and he
has never wavered and has never been
inconsistent.
The State ought to know this as well
as anybody else. Certainly it has fall
len down i'm it's attempt to prove Mr..
Featherstone inconsistent. 1t has not
deceived anybody, for the record in the
matter is too fresh and too vivid for
anybody to forget it.
At the same time we cannot go as far
as the Yorkville paper when 1t charges
the State with upholdng local option
simply because 1t favors the sale OF
liquor and wants the sale of liquor to
be continued. We believe the State
honestly believes each county should
have the right to settle this question
for itself, without caring very much
about the sale Of liquor one way or an
other. We believe the State honestly
believes this to be a great principle,
but as we see it, it is a principle not
worth cOntending for.
Local government Is good
thing, in a way, but the will of the ma
jOrity Of the intelligent people OF the
state is a much better thing.
And that is. part of the platform
upon which Mr.. Featherstone is MAX
ing the campaign for governor-An-

MECkLENBURG DECLARATION.

The Lowries and Averies, good old
Scotch-Irish folk, held a elan" re-
union the other day at YOrkville, s.
g., near the hamlet where the first Of
the family in this country settled. 1t
seems to have been a successful oc-
casion. Three days were consumed
in speech-making, receptions and
reading Of papers on the history of
the family. Several states were rep
resented Members of the family gave
a musical entertainment at the city
auditorium, and the next day they
had an intra- family baseball game.
1t was a unique event, but the Avery
who read a history Of the family and
claimed that Weightstill Avery signed
the Mecklenburg Declaration of Inde-
pendence was indulging in fiction, not
fact 1t is possible that the further
claim that Weightstill fought Andrew
Jackson is true, as Andrew had plen-
ty of protOplasm and used II often.
But Weightstill did not sign any such
thing as the Mecklenburg Declara-
ton Of Independence. because there
was none to sign.-Richmond Times

The Richmond Times-Dispatch re-
marks very pleasantly upon the re-
