Ilis health had been tailing for several months, and although he was given the best medical treatment, he continued to decline, lie was hopeful to the last, however, and struggled hard against the ravages of the fatal malady which eventuated 111 hia death. The people of South ' 'arolina lament the death of their chief magistrate and sympathize deeply with hie bereaved family. Governor Ellerhe, like everybody else, had some failings, but nobody doubted his honesty and sincerity. Ife was conscientious in all his dealings and faithfully endeavored to do his duty. When he was first elected governor the people were divided into opposing political factions, and strife and dissension prevailed. Party feelings were strong and what would please one side would displease the other. Governor Ellerbe, deprecating this (rafurxuifatt; cvnimiuri or nrrmrs, announced his intention to be the governor of the whole people, irrespective of factional affiliations. There were many obstacles in the way of accomplishing such an undertaking, but the governor adhered to his purpose and despite all discouragements did a great deal toward bringing the people together again. There is a better feeling among the people to day than when he was first elected and to him the credit may be properly ascribed. This fact alone will ever stand as a living memorial to the love and solicitude be felt for the welfare of his State. Governor Ellerbe was not a great man in the general sense of the word, but he was a true South Carolinian and loved his State and her people. His death is a great loss and deeply lamented. GOVERNORMrSWE EXE \ \ Governor McSwecncy is a man whom the people of South Carolina greatly admire, and his accession to the exalted position he now occupie.is a matter of pride and gratification to them. They have implicit confidence in his ability and integrity, and arc satisfied the old ship of state will be steered aright with him at the helm. He has been tried and found true and faithful, and wo predict for him a successful administration. ALL If OMR I'RIXr.
