THE TIDE is TURNING
in FAVOR OF LAURENS
PresbyterieS Of the Synod of South
Carolina Meeting this Week to Re-
consider Action rs to Removal of
ChicOra College,

ChicOra College.
Following the campaign in Green
vile for the expected funds with
which to put Chicora college on firm
er basis, which campaign resulted in
the raising of something less than
$4,000, the Presbyteres of South Caro-
lima are meeting this week and next
week to consider the removal of the
college to Laurens, which has offered
TO give substantial aid to the insttu-
ton The first presbytery to meet
and act on the matter was Bethel,
which met Monday. BY an unanimous
vote the proposition of Laurens was
accepted and recommendation was
made that the college be moved to
Laurens.
The following resolutions were in
troduced and adopted:
Whereas, The board of trustees
OF Chicora college has not met since
the fall meeting Of the Bethel pres
bytery, thus leaving the way open
for reconsideration of presbytery's
action at that meeting. touching
proposition from the city of Laurens
for the removal Of the institution
from Greenville to that city; and,
Whereas, Since its fall meeting the
presbytery has obtained new light up
on the matter of removal, leading it to
rescind its action, declining to con-
cur in ;he recommendation of said
board;
Resolved, That presbytery do now
concur in tie recommendation of the
board of trustees of Chicora college
tEat the proposition of the city of Lau-
rens be accepted and the institution be
removed to Laurens."
1t requires a vote of five OF the
presbyteries to move the college to
Laurens. The South Carolina and
Harmony presbyterIes voted in favor
OF Laurens during the first campaign.
Bethel Presbytery made the third to
vote for Laurens. Enoree presbytery
VIII meet to vote on the question at
Spartanburg Thursday at 2 o'clock
Pee Dee will meet Friday at Florence
at 1870 o'clock. Piedmont will meet
at z o'clock Monday at Senaca and
Charleston presbytery will meet the
9Th. AS the number in favor of re-
moVal to Laurens has greatly increas-
ed since the first meetings. it is very
probable that Laurens will easily Sc
cure the necessary number of votes to
secure the college.

Ot far-reaching political signifi-
canoe Is the prospective defeat of the

connection with the declaration of the
Anti-Saloon League that such defeat
Will be live issue in the next guber-
material election.
At the present time there are two
avowed candidates for the Demo-
cratic nomination for Governor in the
1918 rimaries-Henry c. Stuart and
Harry st. George Tucker. Another
probable candidate is Lieutenant Gov
ernor j. Taylor Ellyson. who. how
ever mas not yet formally announced
his candidacy.
IL is taken for granted that the An
u-Saloon League will follow its policy
or 1903, when il asked the guberna-
torial candidates a set of questions
designed TO show their attitude to-
wards temperance legislation. 1t will
be remembered that Judge Mann re-
celVed the active support OF leaders OF
the Anu-Saloon League and thous-
ands or votes from anti-saloon people.
Should Stuart. Tucker and Ellvson
be candidates next year, il is not be-
leNed probable that either Stuart or
tucker would declare in favor OF the
enabling act. though the latter, in
1903, did say that if 1t were passed
Dy the Legislature he would sign il.
II is a matter of speculation. of
course, as TO what answer Mr.. Ellyson
would make on this point. 1t is be-
lieved that it can be safely said that
his answer would be fully as salts
