HIS LAST MESSAGE' Wc did no: know until Governor Evans sent hi? lastannual message to j tho General Assembly that the main ar.: principal issue m ms campaign m 189-i was whether or not the dispensary j law shou;d be vigorously enforced. In that campaign Governor Evi'ts was opposed- by the present Governorelect. We have always believed that had it not been for the Reform primary gotten up by "the ring" that Ellerbe would Lave beaten Evans that year. Evars now attributes his election to a desire on the part of the people to have the dispensary law managed as he h^s done. In the first place, that was not the issue. The tight was against "the ring." Evaus had enveigled .0 many Reformers into the taction 'i primary that their hands -*rere tied at the regular primary, ^1 farmer r\ri_ UilU v ?! iuv v~ m*ry compelled iuem to suppoit him :n tfav latter. We do not fbelieve that he ha? ever bee** cue choice of a majorit} of the white voters of the State for ai.y office. Then, too, the Governor ought r.ot to lose sight of the fact thjit r'rio *ery man who opposed him io 1804 has jusi b3c;i elected Governor. I; it ; . irae tUar Evans was elected b- ca-tpo the people -wanted the law, eiuorccd according to the manner and ' stylo -f thr- present administration, it would ^eem t^.at the people, after a trial of Evans aid his methods, have dcoidid to reverse their judgment. Ti.is is as fair an argument as that employed oy the Governor in his message, and 'tis a logical dedacfion from his own premises. Tne Governor's Message deals principr !ly wich the dispensary, and perhar it is rroper that it should.

The Governor's Message shows that 1 I the South Carolina College is in a; good condition and doing a great j work for the State. The aitendatice j is good, and perfect harmony pre- ! vails among' -he students and facultv. i o - , The experiment of admitting young j women is proved to be satisfactory, j President ^Woodrow shows that the j number of these fair students is j gradually increasing, and their pres-' 1 ence has had a good influence on the | : voung men. He recommends that; O I i the DeSaussure building be fitted for 1 w ! I the occupation of the "co-eds," and ; [ a good woman be placed in charge. ! This building, as we happen to know, j j is somewhat excluded from the res? of j i the Collega. The Governor reconi j mends mac me usuai i | be made. I Winthrop is likewise reported in ! ' good condition and doing a most c~- j ! cellent work. Clemson College, the Governor; 1 thinks, is not in a satisfactory cou- j j dition. &ome say that the Governor i j has pitched into this institution be- j ; cause he has nothing to do V7i:h its j management. We do not know ! | whether there is any trnth in this or nr. , 1-- , Un. I | noc. we nupe, w.vcvc., . ] General Assembly will see to it thai j the College is made what it should be. j The redisricting bill should be passed. ! The bill to require railroad comj panies to carry bicycies as baggage j should be passed. Technically a bi- j cycle is an article o: baggage, a-iv j way. We got the grip from Russia. Let us hope that the fever prevailing in India will be confined to India. By j proper precautions, it eau be kept out j of the United States. Shall we really find an answer to ! ! the question: "Who got those Cvin- j missions." The public had nearly j forgotten about them until that dcc'- j ; sion turned up in Baltimore Thf flhnriecfnn Post, loses S:<rhl of j the principle of law that malice m.iy i he ircpli-jd from the weapons used utid j all of ihe surrounding circumstance?, i If the executioners of Cooper are guihy of any crime, they are guilty of I murder. The Rock Hill Herald thinks that | Mr. Ragsdaie's bill to require all ; pa-senger trains to stop at every station would "play smash" with ue fa?t mail trains. The Herald thiuks that it would be enough to require the trains to stop when there are passengers to get off, or on. The women of the State certainly have no cause to complain that they are not given equal educational facilities with the men. With Winthrop opened to them exclusively asa me South Carolina College opened to them as well as to the young men of t.he State, they have abundant educational advantages. It is gratifying to sec that Speaker Gary is keeping his promise to be the Dresiding officer of all factions. lie seems to have made his appointments ; r-wr-mch'^s ntat^tic is acting upon the samo. spirit that the people have at la-t decided upon. The beginning of the present sessionof the General Assembly promises well Tor the State. South Carolina has ho;>c through with a great deal of political strife and bitterness in the last s'x y?ars, and the people are tired of ibis state of affairs. All tactions seem to a^ree that the inauguration of \V. H. E io: be is the beginning of a belter era in South Carolina politics. Mr. EUerbe has promised to be the Governor of all the people. lie has a magnificent opportunity, and let us hope that he will succeed. "There seems to be on the part of the government the sole idea of railing revenue. The possibility of reducing expenditures i-> not 0:1sidered."?Rock Hill Herald. Our contemporary doubtless has nut said all it meant to say. If th? sole idea of the Republicans was simply to raise revenue, it would be all l ight. But they desire to tax the people to benefit the manufacturers. Taxation to raise sufficient revenue i< sound j Democracy, but taxation to help !he j bounty seekers is Republican robbery, j Such instances as the removal of Mr. St. John as a director in certain j Xew York banks, solely upon the ground that he was too prominently identified with the free silver cause, ! will react on those who differ with hit I. very'nd , ^^Tnarrow and contemptible policy | to mix politics in any business.

Smith, of the First Fresby- j i :erian Church in Columbia, delivered j < i very able sermon on Sunday to his j t longregation against lj-iicliiog. The j t pulpit should join with the press in , :rying to crea'e a better public senti- j sent on this subject. The two together will exercise a great power. { We hope that other ministers of the 5 jospel will follow Dr. Smith's ex- ^ imple. If any of our local ministers c lecide at any time to address their congregations on this subject, we 1 should be glad to know it so that j heir sermons may be reported, and in t his way reach people outside of their s >wn consrregatious. w iu n t For Over Fifty Years.

"What Some E Jitors Would do With the , Dispensary?Some Condemn Lynch- j iajr, Few do Xot. j Tqe Augusta Ciironiclc is always j witiy. Here is a sample: One of t:ic reports from Cuba em a- j naies from General Bosch. The news has Ije-.-n general bosh for some time. The Charleston l\>st condems the killing of Coop r in the f'ol owing j i vigorous way: Lynching in all its fur.nsaad on any j account is a. crirac without j j tion. Tne hu?.:ging of Simon S. Cuoper, i tho colored sport with an "cxag^e.- - j tea penchant" t'-r homicide, after he had been wounded and captured was j a lynching. His executioner?, ho.vcvc", c u'd :.ot be found guilly < f murder.

So far as !he shooiing of f'oopcr when he came to the door o! his house is concerned, i" appears to us that ii was not only excn-able but necessary. I There wou'd have been :;o safety in dealing ?;ent y with Cue per. He was no;: 10 bo trusted, ile \va? an able and ia; ai>'c murderer. Tne chances 1 are th >; n;.d !.e not bec:i .-hot a:nl i!isabl d, he wo'tlii have ki;lci some member of ii.c yjss'j. We believe h; was shot in ;-cif delcnx. Cooper was a wild b:a-: am! mad J.:; eel.

Tuemoment j that a tua-i ; al ::t: i hands on him, the raz>r would hsvo been brought into p!av. It is likely that under no circumstances could Simon Cooper have been captured without biood-shed. Then ha; been a strong sentiment for several years in favor of electing United States Senators by the people directly. Keceat elections of Senalors prompt the Columbia It^gi-ter to I say: Th) election of Boies Penrose as Senator from Pennsylvania, and the ! probable elections of Piatt as Senator ; iivkm V(>vr Vork. Prischard as Senator ! from North Carolina and Mud-Jen a? ' Senator lrom iiiiuois ought to boom j the cansc of she election of S naior by direct vote or the pe >p!e. Such tricksters and boodlers can manipulate Legislatures and obtain sea s in the United States Sonata, but they would not be t&onght oi' if the people themselves had the right to select their Senators by their own vutcs. I The Sumter Freeman like the Greenviile Xews thicks tha Representative Burn's bill to abolish "the spies" would be 2. good tiling, but that wiping out the whole thing would be better.- It says: Representative Burns, of Oconee County, intends to introduce a bill into the Legislature t) do away with ;he spy feature of the dispensary law nnrf niit its enforcement into the hands of Magistrates and Sheriffs. The Freeman wishes him success, bat if his bill was intended io wipe out the entire system, it would 02 much more to our liking. According to the Columbia Evening Ne^vs outlaws should be sh:>t, especially if they are outlaws io the last. Speaking of Cooper h says; That the murderer deserved the dea:h he suffered, there is 110 doubt. Au vmi lasr,-tie-was properly snot to death. Tobacco growers in this State ought not to expect that their rivals in North Carolina and Virginia will give them much encouragement. The growers in York County seecn t> have been very much discouraged by one of them goi:g to Danvilie. If they succeed so well in Florence and Darlirgton, we can not see why they should not cio as well Im other counties in die State. The following from the Yorkviik Enquirer is not encouraging: The tobacco-growers of ike southern and eastern portions oi' tin's county aie badly discouraged, and He outlook is that they will hereafter attempt but srnali crops, if any at all. Our information comes from Mr. K. M- Bratton. who has heretofore been the largest grower in the vicinity of Brattonsville, and o:.e of the largest in the county. He returned fiom the Danville market not long ago, and it was on account of Lis experience there, he has about dccided to go out of business. lie had with him a big crop of tobacco, on which he expected to realize a good price. But he only got an are:age of -i cents a pound, and that is sea; ceiy enough to pay expenses. It iia's bven Mr. Bra1 ton's experience ;hut the difficulties in the way of tobacco rai-ing in this section are rather , u,n Tinmerous to be cverccmc. In the first place, it is too fur to market; and ; i:i the second pisco the South Carolina grower meets v.-itli too ma:;;* obstacles after beget? there. There is reason :o j believe tJiat the Xorth Curo',ina a::d j Virginia buyers are inciir.cj to d:-cdmi j iiate against the tobacco growers of this !, sttate, fearing that development c:' the j industry here* wiP '_? -> at ihe expense o?-f! tiieir own state. Then, after ali, Mr. Bratton has coma to the conclusion that i with the same ca; e and attention that < is required for tobacco, there is as much or more profit in corn and oot-on. Still, < however, he things that if it were ; possible to establish local warehouses < and a local market, tobacco raising here could be quickly developed into a paying business. The Piedmont Headlight, whose ? editor is Larry Gantt, discourses on the dispensary. What ihe Headlight J < >ays is interesting becausc about the j :ime the law was paisei.7, ic was said ( :hat Mr. G uitt liacl brought ti.c scbt-inc f ,viih him from Aihtn-, Georgia.

The Sumter Watchman and Southron has this to svy* about the rccejt lynching: "The candid opi.iion of the writer, after several hours deliberation, is that the killing of Cooper under the circumstances, was unjustifiable, and outrageous. It is a blot on the failfame of Sumter County, within whose borders a lynching never 'belore occurred.
