Should the liquor interests of the state succeed in their efforts to knock out the Aiken high liquor tax law. Governor Andrew L. Harris will immediately call an extraordinary session of the general assembly. This statement comes practically direct from Governor Harris himself. While the consensus of opinion is that all attacks made upon legislation where such attac'l; are based on the late Governor P;tison's disability, will fail. Governor Harris made it clear that should they unexpectedly succeed, he will immediately call the legislature into special session for the express purpose of re-enacting every law the validity of which is questioned. Other Laws at Stake. Should the Aiken law be declared Invalid, many other important laws enacted during the recent session of the legislature will fail. The liquor Interests are placing all their hopes on the testimony of Drs. Holt and Oliver, the late governor's physicians. They testified in court that the governor was delirious from March 21 until April 16. The legislature adjourned April 2nd. Tho official records show that the Aiken bill finally passed both branches and was signed by the speaker of the house on March 2S. Many other important measures, in fact nearly all of the most important laws of the session were passed between March 21 and the time of adjournment, April 2. during which time and for fourteen days thereafter, the governor, the doctors say, was out of his mind.
