That Senator La timer was esteem
ed by his colleagues in congress was
evidenced by tho kindly expressions
uttered by them, that he was es
teemed by the citizenship of his home I
community was evidenced by tho
unusual tribute paid bis memory

of people, not only from the town but
from till neighboring localities, was
apparent at every hand
Almost every store and business
house of tho town was closed from

day throw tho Gonerai Assembly In
to political turmoil. Coming with
in two days of the expected end of
tho session with the certainty that
the Legislature must fill tho vacan
cy before it could adjourn, the whole
aspect of legislation was changed,
tn addition, the removal of Senator
Latimer from the race in tho primary
entirely niters the condition of af
fairs, nial that the political situation
in South Carolina had beon complete
ly transformed.
Within an hour arter tho an
nounccment that Senator Latimer
was dead had reached tho State
House, lt was seen that tho names of
moro than ono member of the Gen?
eral Assembly would be presented foi

at once got to work. This may have
appeared somewhat heartless, but at
that time it was the prevailing opin
ion that tho eiCCtloii would have to
be held on Saturday and it was real
ized that in this case no time could
bo lost.
Investigation of the law was set
on foot however and it was then dls
covoi-od that tho General Assembly
might not have to elect at this
time., und further, that is was possi
ble i .. ? .<. election fccYUld inn be

sented. Senator Carlisle, chairman
of tho State judiciary committee then
gol Into communication with Wash

Mr. Hailey being regarded as an au
thority on such questions.
Mr. Hailey Informed Mr. Carlisle
that after consulting Senator Till
man ho and Senator Tillman
wore of tho opinion that the
Gem al Assembly could at once elect
upon receipt or Ofllcial not ?tic;.t ion of
the vacancy but that Senator Hale
and other Republican Senators, who
WOtild In tho final analysis decido the
point if lt wore raised, held differ
ently and thought that tho General
Assembly could not elect until the
second Tuesday after the receipt of
official notification of the vacancy.
Senator Hailey then advised as it
was ? Democratic egislature electing

best liol to elect anyone now, but to
follow tho procedure which Senator

has about OHO year to run yet.
On the understanding thal the
General Assembly would elect some
'one 10 lill the unexpired term alone.

The Distinguished Prohibitionist Au
noumea His Candidacy on sn An
ti-Dispcnsnry Platform.
The Columbia correspondent of
Tho Newe and Courier says the pol
itical situation was still further com
plicated by tho announcement Thurs
day night that Mr. c. c. Feather
stone, of Laurens, will bo a candi
dato for Governor In the primary
this summer.
Mr. Featherstone was lo Columbia
Thursday night on his way home
from Orangeburg County, where he
had gone to deliver two prohibition
speeches. Ho said he believed tho
time for the enactment of a State
prohibition law had arrived and that
he had acceded to the wishes of his
friends to enter tho race for Govern
or to adv?calo that policy.
Mr. Featherstone was a candidate
for Governor in 1 SOS on tho prohi
bition platform and was defeated by
a combination of peculiar circum
stances, and by a very narrow major
ity. Ho has not since that timo par
stand in tho next campaign is not
known.
Mr. Featherstone ls one of the
strongest lawyers in Hie State, ls a
man of fine address and manners and
is personally very popular. Ho has
served as grand chancellor of the
Knights of Pythias, and is an ac
tive and prominent member of the
Methodist church.
Govornor Ansel some time ago an
nounced that he will he a candidate
for reelection. Ho was elected two
years ago on tho platform of local
option, but before that campaign he
was an out and out State Dispen
sary advocates Just where ho will
stand in the campaign is not bown,
Mr. Featherstone is a candidato
that will have to be reckoned with.
Those who think that Gov. Ansel will
have a walk-over In tho campaign
this Summer will find that they aro
mint liken a', tho end of tho campaign.
Many who believe in the dispensary
will support Mr. Featherstone against
Gov. Ansel.
Gov. Ansel is not near as strong
now as he was two years ago, and
many who voted for him then will
oppose him now. Many people regard
him as dictorial in the extreme, and
this has made him many enemies in
ail parts of tho State.
Ther?! has been considerable talk
to the effect that Mr. John G. Rich
ards, of Kershaw, may enter tho race
for Governor this year and Mr.
Richards in reply to a question said
he had the matter under considera
tion. He ls also for State prohibi
tion. *

Gen, Stoessel Condemned to Die
For Surrendering the
POST OF PORT ARTHUR
Court-Martial Which Hus Reen Try
ing him for Cowardice in Surren
dering Port Arthur Returns Ver
dict Sentencing Famous General
to Death, but Recommending Ten
years in Prison Instead.
Liout-Ge. Stoessel WJIB condemned
to death Thursday evening by a
Military Court al St rotersourg for
tho surrender of Port Arthur to tho
Japanese. The Court recommend
ed that the deal h soatenoe upon Lieut
Cen. Stoessel be commuted io ten
years imprisonment ia a fortress and
lie be excluded from the service.
Cen. Frock, who commanded the
4th Fast Siberian division of Port
Arthur, was ordered reprimanded for
a disciplinary offence, which was
not connected with tho surrender,
and Cen. Smirnoff, acting command
Reiss, chief of staff to Gen. Stoessel,
Roiss. chief of staff to Gen. Stoessed,
were acquitted of the charges against
them for lack of proof.
Cen. Vodar, president of the Court,
read the sentences amid a tense si
lence. Dy a great effort of self con
trol Cen. Stoessel maintained rigid
soldierly-like impassivity. Gen Smir
noff also was seemingly unmoved,
but there were tears la the eyes of
Gea. Reiss.
Tho sentence of death was pro
nounced upon Cen Stoessel, "for sur
rendering the fortress before all tho
means of defence had beca exhaust
ed, for falling to enforce hts author
ity and for military misdemeanors."
Commutation of tho sentence was
asked oa tho ground that "Port Ar
thur, beset by overwhelming forces,
defended itself under Gen. Stoessel'a
leadership with unexampled stub
bornness and Ulled the world with as
tonishment at the heroic courage of.
its garrison; that several assaults
have been repulsed with tremendous
losses on the part of the enemy; that
Gen. Stoessel throughout the seigo
had maintained the heroic courago
of the defenders and finally that ho
bad taken energetic part lu threo
campaigns."
Before the sentence was read,
measures were taken to prevent a de
monstration in favor of Stoessel by
a number of tho younger ofllcers.
and witnesses who were present.
These later sent a dispatch to tho
Empress saying that they would hum
bly bear testimony that Gen. Stoes
sel was the soul of the defence
of Port Art hui-; that he had always
encouraged and put heart ill the gar
rison, and that in case of war they
would wish to sorvc again under
such a hero. They asked the Rm pr CBS
graciously to bespeak from the Em
peror a full pardon.
There was a dramatic moment af
ter tho reading of the sentence whim
a dotatchmcnt of soldiers filed Into
tho hall. The spectators, thinking
they wore about to seize Gen. Stoes
sel, displayed great excitement, sev
eral women fainting, lt developed,
however, that this was merely ll
guard for the disposal of the Court.
Cen. Stoessel, who was accompan
ied by his son, was the object of a
sympathetic, demonstration, friends
j kissing and shaking him by the hand
.is ho left tho Court leaning on his
?son's shoulder.
The basis of tho Indictment upon
which Lieut. Cen. Stoessel, Gen.
frock, who commanded tho 4th East
Siberian division of Pert Arthur,
nnd Major Gen. Reiss, chief o? staff
Ito Cen. Sloe: : el, were tried for their
lives, was a secret report made by
Lieut. Cen. Smirnoff, on tho defence
of Port Arthur.
Smirnoff was acting command
ant of tho fortress, Stoessel being
commander of tho Kwang-Tung Pen
insula. Smirnoff categorically ac
cused Stoessel of cowardice and in
capacity, and finally of the deliberate
and treasonable hastening of tho sur
render to save hts owa life and de
fiance of tho decisions of two suc
cessive connells of war.
Gen. Smirnoff declared that tho
foi tress, which was surrendered to
Hie Japanese January 1. 1906, could
have held out for six months longer.
Tho stands taken by Gens. Stoos
nel, Reis? and Frock wero that the
Unto of Port. Arthur was sealed with
the capture of the "Eagle's Nest,"
and two other positions.
I The indictment against Gen. Smir
noff charged him with having failed
to remove Con. Frock from his com
I mond, although ho suspected tho
agreement between Gena. Stoessel
