The political campaign is now past the half way mark and the campaign ers are wending their way towards the up-country. Those who have watched the course of events are pre pared to make predictions as to the outcome of the contest, for it is agreed that there is but one important issue -Prohibition against Dispensary. When the contest began there was no well-defined issue and most of the candidates undertook to manufacture political capital by casting insinua tions ou Governor Ellerbe without attempting to offer the slightest proof; they undertook to build moun tains out of mole-hills by creating the impression that the Governor played the wilds in making his appointments, that he went back on his friends, he was lacking in backbone, etc. Yet not one of them submitted any proof nor did one of them dare insinuate corruptness or malfeasance in office, but on the other hand, when pinned down all of his oppcnents admit Gov ernor Ellerbe to be honest, that his administration is free from scandal, and the promises made in his inau gural address have been faithfully fulfilled, not7iLhstanding the fact he has had more embarrassing conditions to contend with than any former Governor. 'Under the circumstances the op position utterly failing to show that Governor Ellerbe is not entitled to a second term, his re-election would be conceded without "another gun being fired," but the issue before the people--Prohibition or Dispensary puts the contest in a different shape. The Prohibitionists, who are support ing that measure conscientiously, are not opposed to Governor Ellerbe, be cause they know him to be a pure man who has given the people a wise and clean administration, but they are opposed to the sale of liquor and Governor Ellerbe believing the dis pensary system the most practical plan yet devised to control liquor, is advocating that system, which is con trary to the views and wishes of the Prohibitionists, hence their opposi tion to him. In the person of C. C. Featherstone have the prohibition element selected a champion, and he is manfully hold ing up their cause; from county to county he advocates the State doing away with the beverage feature in its sale of spirituous liquors, and that it shall only permit the dispensaries to sell the stuff for "medicinal, scien tifical, sacramental and mechanical purposes." As we understand the position of the Prohibitionists, and if we are wrong we invite correction, the control and sale of spirituous and malt liquors is to remain with the State as it is now, but that the bever age feature shall only be eliminated. If we are correct in this, we do not see how those opposed to the State dealing in the stuff can support Mr. Featherstone, for he is advocating a measure which must be convincing to every mind will not work, aside from the fact that by their votes for him they will be jumping out of the fry ing pan into the fire. Those who are strict temperance men cannot vote for Featherstone if they adhere to the doctrine "touch not, taste not, handle not," because Featherstone does not advocate the putting of liquor out of the way. He wants it to stay here and wvants the State to control it as at present; the only thing he asks is for the stuff not to be sold for people to drink. We do not believe the peo ple are ready to experiment with an idea, that before they begin, is known to them to be impractical and can only result in failure and reproach to the cause of prohibition. But as the issue has been made, with a man rep resenting this doubtful side, the other side representing a plan only partially tried and that trial under the most provoking and harassmng circumstan ces, it is for the people to say by their votes which plan they will adopt. Governor Ellerbe in representing the dispensary does so as a temper ance man, whose whole life, by pre cept and example has been a shining temperance light and were it in his power he would banish the liquid fiery poison from the land, but as a man acquainted with the ways of the world, he knows that so long as the hands of the state government, and forbids them from interfering with inter-State commerce, and thereby allowing people to get liquor from outside the State, just so long will a prohibition law prove a mockery and an open avenue to the lawless. Now that the issue is clear cut and well defined, there is nothing for the voters to do but to select for Gover nor, the man representing, or who is the exponent of the issue represen their views, and that selection is to be made between Ellerbe and Feath erstone, the former the exponent of the dispensary, a plan which will, if enforced, be a practical temperance measure, the latter a plan which upon its face shows that it is impractical, and only at best theoretical prohibi tion. The other candidates for Gov ernor are all for the dispensary ex cepting Col. Tilinan and he wants high license with the towns to bear the burden and the counties to get the revenue, but the others are not now being seriously considered since the issue has been defned. HE SHOULD BE URATEFUL. The Fe-miuan has no personal ill will toward Mr. Thomas, but when he offers for public office we deem it our duty to place impediments in his way. Candidate Henry R. Thomas should have great reason for self-congratula tion since the Sumter Freeman pub lished the above. That paper now says it has no personal ill will to wards Mr. Thomas, not even after ac cusing him of being a thief, murderer, fire-bug and all of the basest crimes known to man. Why, if the Freeman did have any personal ill will, in order to show it, would have to assasinate Thomas in cold blood, for it has done everything else to him. We have no disposition to take up Mr. Thomas' cause, nor are we sup porting him for re-election, but when we read the horrible accusations against Thomas published in the Freema-n, and then for the editor to disclaim any personal ill will since Thomas' brother, J. J. rIagiu, takes the editor to task it looks like the horrible accusations were made re gardless of truth and only for the purpose of deceiving the people when Thomas offers for public office to place impediments in his way. Such journalism is not calculated to give strength to the influence of the press. We believe this to be one year that the people in selecting their rep resentatives will be governed more by merit and qualification than by the glad handshake. What is need ed in the general assembly are men who are in a position to know the people's needs and~ who will take that pride in the honor conferred upon themi to work for those needs. The latest dispatches say,. that Spain has propounded questions to President McKinley, looking to peace. Spain wants to know, will Uncle Sanr consider peace, and if so, will he indi cate the terms. The war will continue until terms of peace have been made and accepted. General Miles has landed his troops on Porto Rico, and thtiprtant Spanish possesion Iwill soon be ours. it is a sad state of affairs when such political mud slinging as is being in dulged in by the Congressional aspi rants is permitted. Indeed, if the rec ords of these candidates are to be judged by what each says of the otber, a party who is not acquainted with them, might be lead to think that neither of them were worthy of the high honors they seek. It is to be hoped that the mud will settle before they stump Marion county.-Dillon Herald. Scovel, the correspondent of the New York World, who slapped Geu. Shafter's face at Santiago, right after the ceremonies of raising the Amer ican flag to take the place of the Spanish flag, has gotten off with an exceedingly light punishment. Gen. Shafter had the power to have had him shot, but that officer with pity expelled the seeker for notoriety from Cuba. If Scovel ever attempts to go back to Cuba, the probability is that he will be courtmartialed and shot. The grand jurors of this county, court after court, make complaints about our county poor house, not about the management, but about the buildings. We hope the present grand jury will make more than a casual investigation of that institution and recommend a sound, practical plan of improvement. The superin tendent does the best he can with the means at his command, but if a plan can be devised to put the institu tion beyond the complaints of grand jurors, we hope the present body will discover it, and that the representa tives in tbe General Assembly will give the matter their serious atten tio. The poor are with us, and humanity demands they be taken care of in a decent, comfortable manner, because as a rule, those who unfortu nately, are thrown upon the charity of the county are unable to do phy sical labor and they need kind and wholesme attention; this they can not get in buildings about to fall down upon them. After a man gets in a hole i's sur prising how many people there are who could have told himi what path The newspaper correspondence of J. Wilson Gibbes is exasperating lack ing in a fair report of the proceed ings of the campaign meetings. He; does none of the candidates justice. Perhapi it is not his fault, it may be, the fauH of his employers. The United States government in its desire to acquire more territory: not only stamps out a record of a cen tury,but it is steering the ship of State headforemost towards the rocks of international complications. Alread it is rumored that Germany has been selected as the leader in this interna tional trap set for the United States, and it is a known fact that Germany is collecting a large Ileet of warships at Manila and the German Admiral is in constat communnication with the Spanish governor-general. There is a grave suspicion that Uncle Sam will be told by the Powers, so far shalt thou go, but no farther." Our gov ernment has not yet taken the Philli pines and may never do so, although every indication points to the taking of the entire group, possibly with an understanding that England be given a slice. Suppose Spain, belore the capture of the Philippines, should make a treaty with Germany and Austria, whereby she reliuquishes these possessions to those two Pow ers, would it not have a bad effect on the results of Dewev's victory? We know not, but we do believe that the monarchial governments are not going to sit idly by and leave Spain at the mercy of a Republic. It, is our opinion that whenever the United States goes to that point which will endanger the Spanish crown, Uncle Sam will come into contact with a surprise for every King or Emporer, will look to his own crown to keep his dominions from slipping from his grasp. ,100 REWAII) $100.

Editor THuE 'IES: Admiral Dewey's naval victory in Manila bar, coupled with the deC struction of Cervera's fleet in the At lantic ocean and the capture of the city of Santiago de Cuba with its twenty-five thousand defenders after a great deal of desperate fighting on both sides, is simply made gratifying to us for the success of our arms and creditable to the Spanish soldiers, even though defending a bad cause. These achievements are grand and we believe will take their places in the pages of our history as the most complete and decisive as have ever been recorded therein. (.ireat credit is due our brave men, both officers and privates engaged in these strug gles, we must confess, but in all can dor we must say that the men who stood by and worked and died by their guns are the men who won and achieved these yictories. The men that carry and work the guns are the sons and ~sinew of all armies and are the mainstay of nationalities, Amer ican valor, coupled as it wvere with bull-dog tenacity, backing a war waged in the cause of freedom and humanity, is proving too much for Spanish treachery, oppression and brutality. The deliveranee and freedom of the people of the once beautiful and fer tile but now devastated Island of Cuba is fast drawing to a certainty, and the hated and blood-stained flag of Spain wvill soon be forever lowered and will never again float over that island to menace or make afraid again the now unhappy but soon-to be liberated Cubans. Spain has made many conquests and for mnany years has been the un disputed possessor of all of her eon quests, but by her cruel oppressions and blood-thirsty tyrannies one after another of her possessions have re volted and today she fully realizes that the lust one of her conquests and possessions is fast slipping awvay from her. Spain has been and still is a bloody nation. Spain's past rec ord has indeed been a cruel and bloody record. History teaches that Spain'has waged more wvars and in these wvars shed more innonent blood than any nation under the sun, not even excepting the unreasonable, re vengeful and blood-thirsty savages in any part of the world. Spain, though, fi a measure is p)aying now in blood, and later on will pay in treasure for the treacherous destruc tion of our battleship Maine, and for the cruel murder of our unsuspecting countrymen who formed the crewv of that battleship. Retributive justice has overtaken these Spanish devils incarnate and they have been made to render more than "life for life and blood for blood." Our government, I dare say, wvill make the Spaniards rue the day that emboldened them to shed American blood, but for the retribution of the blood of others andh of the poor Cubans wve will have to leave it in the hands of Him who has satid., "Vengeance is mine, I will repay." The destr'uction of Spain's boasted fleet with the comliete and success ful capture of Santiago and its 25,000 defenders wvill certainly convince the Dons and Dagoes of Spain that they are not quite as invincible as their pufed up vanity has led thenm to be lieve, nor neither are the "Tankee pgs" as cowardly and as awkward as they hiave tried to have the rest of the world believe. It is to be iope d now that Spain will see the usessns in trying to further pro Ion" th'e struggle, and so seeing will ue for peace and abandon the un moly struggle on her part that is tak ing it plac~e in history and will ev'er be kn'own as the Spanish-American a. -(GEO.

There were some $1,200,000,000 subscribed for the $200,000,000 of war bonds offered by the Govern ment, and the amount awarded was given to small bidders in the main-it brought out the stocking-money, as it were. So that, if the banks had not adopted a war policy of contrac tion equal to the expansion caused by calling this amount of money out of its hiding places, there would have been a full circulating medium for awhile; but, no sooner than it became apparent that the Government would award as much of this loan to the common people as possible and thaf in consequence there would be a temo porary influx of more money in to the circulating medium of the coun try, the national banks commenced a s stematic contraction by retiringi their circulation to an extent equal to the infation thus occasioned. Hence, the amount of national bank notes now clamoring for redemption at the Treasury is almost unprecedented that too at a time when more money is needed to carry on the operations of the war and the commercial busi ness of the country than would be needed in times of peace. A money stringency is always a calamity; but a scarcity of money in times ut wzr becomes a double hardship. And right here looms up a tremendous object lesson for the people to pon der. It illustrates, as perhaps noth ing else can, the utter folly and im policy of intrusting one of the most sacred as well as one of the most pow erful and dangerous functions of gov ernment to the hands of private cor porations which think of themselves and their unfair advantages first and of the people last, if at all. Conduct like this ought to make it very plaun to the wayfaring muau that all money should be issuel and controlled by the government; that a function of government which comes home to every man, woman and child in this grea't country of ours, is too sacred and should be too jealously guarded to have it abused and used to private ends by a favored few, as it is now and always has been under the na tional banking laws which afflict and plunder our people. By means of this power they manage to absolutely control and regulate the volume of money in circulation; and they are governed, in their regulation of it, not by the needs and requirements of the people at large, but solely by the advantages to themselves a scarce or a flush money-volume. It happens that the money-owners and the banks always want the supply of money small, so that the demand for money will be correspondinly large and the rates of interest chargeable for its use remunerative, while the people always want just the the reverse; so that under the present system (which gives the regulation and control of the whole monev volume into the hands of those who want a scant volume in circulation all the time) our govern ment falls far short of that pet phrase which we all love to quote: "A govern ment of the people, for the people, by the people." It more nearly approach es a government for favorites-an op pression of the people, by the corpo rations for the corporations. Hence, we have the anomaly of the national bank redemption agency of the gov ernment at Wasbington rushed be yond almost anything known in his tory at a time when its volume of vork would seem to be reduced to the minimum; for there is so much need for money in the country at this time to carry on the war as well as its commercial business that it would seem that no bank would want to cur tail its circulation or retire any of its currency. Perhaps that would be the ase were not nearly $200,000,000 of money coming out of its hiding place to seek investment in govern ment :3 per cent. bonds. Seeing, therefore, that this coming out of the stocking money would have the effect of swelling the circulating medium for a time, the banks (true to their ancient tradition of looking out for number one) are breaking thbeir neeks. alost and falling over each other in an almost unprecedented effort to re tire enough of the present circulation to of'set this $200,000,000, wvhich is finding its way to the money market of the contry from the chests, stock ings, belts and other quaint and curi ous hiding places in wvhich the saving oor have held it.

Gen eral Shafter, wvho commanded during the operations, is probably not a par ticularly able man, and his selection for such a distinguished duty doubt less produced no little surprise among bis colleagues of the army. Criti cisms upon his leadership have been many and ugly. But they came as a rule from observers unfortified by knowledge, and not in the business of journalism for the health of the nation and now they are forgotten. The deed is done, and the victory is great. "Two things, of course, reduced the Spaniards the the state of moral hopelessness that precedes rurrender. The fit-st was the irresistible bravery shown by the American army in their iirst assault upon the city on July 2. The other was the crushing display of the same qualities by the Ameri can navy when Cervera's ships fled from the harbor.
