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. It was

had in 1S92 appropriated $50,OCO

Up to the time of the induction of tbe

a dollar into the State Treasury, and
the $59,000 appropriation had not been
paid back to the State. "The system

pit.- power, such a temptation *
to - - :;e Mii'n, has been taken from the

to i' "--beard. <

dispensary is a failure. We are not,

INSTITUTIONS OF LEARNING.
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. Such j
:n*aI^vo\>r*r? o: rrill r\ mrn%f? thon i 1
anything else to continue ibe agitation :
against the alleged money power, i
which is supposed to be centred in
:he associated banks 'of Xew York.
<
Dk. 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.

VIEWS OX VAKIOL'S SUBJECT.?.
"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. If wli it :hov did was 110: in
sudden beat and nation, the human
heart has lo-t it- pa^ion and manslaughter
i- an (dloiice which needs 110
iongV be dcfi.r. d i:i th.i statute books.
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. To have
s'.own him mercy vvwi!;! have been
a5: reason&b'e a? t? !:uve d.a't kindly
with a e bra.
Ccop r :.rme.'! with a pi-io! a:.d :
lazor wl.en lie was shot. 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. Ilei\> i
ire some of the paragraphs: *

The constab'c force cost's about $4o,- t

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.
"Of course Cooper was a fiend, a
devil incarnate, with a tigerhh lust
for blood, a ravisher of female virtue,
and richly merited death, but he

If Augusta dees not like the pre-ent
state of Hairs, why should she not

State to t"_>Uotv* ti e example of South

There i-; only one wav to cure deafness,
and that ii by constitutional
remedies. Deafne-s is caused by an
inflamed condition of the mucous
lining of the Eustachian Tube. When
this tube gets inflamed you have a
rumbling sound or imperftct hearing,
and when it is entirely closed deafness
is the result, and uules? the inflammation
can be taken out and this tube
restored to its normal condition, hearing
will be destroyed forever; nine
cases; out of ten arc caused by catr,rrb,
