Colonel Hoy t May Decline a Nomina* lion Which 11?- EaNlly Could Have ( oticii From Prohibitionists? Other Gubernatorial 4'an<li<lat?-s. Columbia Kecord. Tbere Is naturally a great deal of interest taken in the forthcoming gubernatorial campaign and as it in admitted ou all Hides that the race will be between Governor MeSweeney and the prohibition candidate, esEeclal Interest attaches to the man who may e nominated by the strictly water voters, who constitute a most considerable element. It Is reported In political circlcs that Colonel Hoyt will Dot be th? candidate of the prohibitionists. He has so far said nothing himself about It. If he would accept the nomination he could obtain It without j.iu nnmlnatlori would brlm? oat iruuuic OUU ?> - ? ? a great many voters, which otherwise would not be cast for the prohibition and other candidates. Who the prohibitionists will nominate is a question. >lr. Featberstone, wbo come so near beating the late Governor Ellerbe, has announced that he will not be a candidate. Mr. Brunson, who w?>s once a candidate, withdrew from the race early in the game. It is said that Mr. Frank B. Gary will with* draw as a candidate. Mr.Patterson, ot Barnwell, Is not considered amongst politicians as a sei ious candidate, " though he is writing long and statistical let' ters to church papers defending the dispensary. Mr. Patterson has sent all of these communications to newspapers In Colombia ' In circular form. i If Mr. Sebum pert, of Newberry, becomes a candidate be will be on the antl-dlspensary platform. Mr. Frank B. Gary will be on the same platform aa Governor McSweeney. But It is understood that Mr. Gary will not be a candidate. ' , [After seeing the foregoing this Editor called on Hon. Frank B. Gary and asked blm If it Is true that be Intends to withdraw from the race for Governor. He says tbat it most assuredly is not true. He says tbat tbe rumor did not start from anything that be bas said, for be has never bad. nor bas be now any otber intention than to make tbe race to tbe finish. In due season he will announce tbe platform on which be will run, and that tbe ' Kecord is not antborlzed to annonnce that bis will be the same as Governor McSweeney's. He hopes tbat bis friends will discredit such rumors as the above for tbey nnt nmoniiifl irom him or his friends.l Democrats and Prohlbltloulst*. Id view of tbe fact tbat the Prohibitionists propose to put a full State ticket In fibe field to be votea for Id tbe Democratic primaries, the following provision of the Democratic constitution ? of Interest: "No vote shall be counted for any candidate who does not file with tbe chairman of the State executive oommlttee, or with the respective chairmen of the county executive committees, a pledge in writing that he will abide ue result of such primary and support the ndnlnees thereof, and tbat be is Dot nor wlilDBbeoome tbe candidate of any faction, el thep privately or publicly suggested, other than tbe regular Democratic nomination candidate." Commenting on tbe above tbe News and Courier says: It Is claimed by some tbat this will prevent candidates who are suggested by the Prohlbl tlon Conference running In the primary, 01 rather.having their votes counted. It did not do so last Ume, and it would appear to be-a piece of reckless and foolhardy politics to try to count out any candidate or set of eandv< dates iu such a way, for If tbe people should 'nominate a candidate who bad been suggest ed by a conference, and be were oonnt^d out or not allowed to ran, tbe wbole primary system wonld. have to alye away to tb< general election, wbbre there wonld be>nc find of trouble.

Feather-stone j Maid to your correspondent this morning in i reply to the question it he would be a candidate for governor this year: Quite a number of my friends from various sections of the State have been kind enough to urge me to again become a candidate for governor." 1 "I appreciate their kindness more than 1 can express, but It will be Jmposslble for me to comply with their wishes. i "] entered the race before because I thoneht it whs right to do so.

Luther Fair, colored, was brought to Abbeville one day last week, under charge of cruelty to one of his daughters. Tbe trial took place before Magistrate R. E. Cox. Tbe child was In evldenoe, and her person proved clearly that she had been badly beaten. Tbe father tried to make It appear that it was tbe mother, and not be. who did the whip plog, wben it appeared that doid iaioer ana mother bad beaten the child. Tbe mother bad marked ber body, and beat It Into almost a solid mass ol stripes, while tbe lather whipped tbe child in tbe faoe. Luther Fair was sentenced to.pay 817 or serve twenty days on tbe cbalngang. Not baving tbe necessary 817, J.ather went to Jail to wait for the Captain of the cbalngang to call for hJm. Under tbe olrcnmstanoes the sentence was a merciful one. It Is not known whether bis wife will be oalled upon to anffer for her part of the cruelty to their ohild, bat it Is oertaln that there are others who nedd to be panlahed for cruelty to children. . ' The Oust that Luther Fair Was brought to Justice waa the merest seeldeofc ' Some young men from town Were bunting and Ashing down NorrlB Creektand slopped at tbe spring to get water and to rest. Tbey were In bearIng of tbe beutality and reported tpe Inhuman aot to Mr. Cox, Luther Fair olalms to be a preacher who receives divine revelations. He preaches and prays alond while plowing, and manifests great signs of piety In thefleidsand at.other places. It Is not known whether be received a revelation commanding tbe crnelty to bis child. It is barely possible that tbe oaptaln of. tbe cbalogang mfTy get a revelation in case Luther falls to toe the mark andvddesnot come up to tbe requirements of a goad band. There Is nothing like a revelation. ?. Wben Magistrate Cox spoke of sending tbe motber of tbe whipped child to Jail for thlrlv days the child appealed in her behalf. With tears In her eves, she approached Mr. Cox holding In ber band a nickel, which she said , Kfl n.Aiil/1 olnnhlm If ho trnnld not, DDDith I her mother. All things considered '.{he Incident touched the hearts of the bystanders, and beoause of the child's affection and sympathy for her mother, the sentenoe against the father was less tban It otherwise would have been. The punishment of Luther Fair opened the eyes of some people wbo thought they might wblp tbelr own ohildren to tbelr heart's oodtent, and It Is possible that some of them may realize that there to a law to protect cblldren.
