in the House, and that (his branch ol
the legislature is by bo mentis solid
for prohibition Several rea ous ni
assigned for this; among them the fi I
lowing:
"There are nuinbei'j who are t<
lalers and are prdblbltioul : i
heart who are said hoi to ' ?
astic over passing legislation now a
it would <:iv,. political prestige to ln
(Hvidlials rather than promote the iii
terORtS Of a great cause. The prohi
bition leader of ihe Si Mr C. C
F*eathorstone, who made ri talliti
fight before the people in : - f?$ \\ \\ n
the cause seemed almost ho .
and the leaders despondent, and yOl
missed election as governor by only
a few hundred voles, has hoi i' .
come out iti a llntfootcd demand for
an iron-dad prohibition bill io b<
passed at this session. Some of the
legislators seem lb think tliai lie pre
fers a referendum, t<> lei I lie pen ?
themselves vote on the niresiion.''
Yes, there is no i|il6tttloiKfls Io who
Is the real prohibition leader in Soiltll
Carolina, regardless of these few in
dividuals who. at this late day, ari
trying to climb on the band-wagon
Mr. Poanmrsfono fmiKbi for prohibi
don when those "floppers" were red
mi dlsitousurltes, when it waa unpop
nur bp be a prohibitionist. Now they
liave come over to the popular side,
ami think to attain prominence by re*
reaping the beue?ts of Mr. i'eather
stono's long years of labor. Hut the
l>copb) etui see tlfrough all this pol it i
c*ul strategy.
Whether or not an Iron-clad prohi
bition law is onactod, Mr. Feather,
stone will still bo the 'prohibition
loader." as the gontlomnn from Ker
shaw, C'nmden, Ttmmonsvllle, Qaffney,
etc., will find out. Their eleventh
hour conversion and ardor for the
cause are too transparent.
Regarding the attitude of Mr. Peath
? i tone, from his recent Interview we
ludge thai he is willing for nnythlng
that will further the cause of prohibi
tion, whether it bo a law passed by
ih<- lietiernl Assembly or a referen
dum >o Hie people- anything that is
wise And wo feol assured that his
personal ambit ion does not deter him
in any eauso; for did he not assist
i ci? - committee in Columbia a few days
ago?
The people of South Carolina know
"lite real prohibition leader."

The Charleston morning paper
charges thai we prohibitionists lay so
much dress on whiskey selling and
en iv Hol about whiskey lit ? ftlllg. Of
course The News and CoUl'it knows
better than this; such argument is
ridiculous. Our opposition to each
is contemporaneous and equal, we
hold thai they depend one upon the
other: if one could be eradicated the
other COUld UOl exist.
(mi Charleston contemporary ar
mies In substance that whiskey-selling
in the City by the Sea is deemed a
respectable business. So it was in
the Piedmont years and years ago
?vhen all the merchants of Laurens
and Greenville sold intoxicating liqu
ors We have learned better. As the
M ats have passed, enlightenment has
read; this progress has caused our
le to put whiskey selling under
