Col. Hoy I All Right.
The suggestion of the name of Colonel
J. A. Hoyi, of Greenville, by the South Carolina
Prohibitionists as a candidate for governor,
is to be taken as a matter of course.
Mr. Featherstoue would have been the most
available candidate on account of the splendid
race he made two years ago; but In view of
hltt Inability to make the race again, it was
quite natural that the conference should turn
to Colonel Hoyt. Thecolonel has always been
a persistent and consistent opponent of the
liquor traffic. He Is a practical man of business
and zealous, patriotic oltiren, who has
i never been .known to shirk a public or other
duty. Whether elected or not, he can be depended
upon to stick to his principles through
Kood and evil report, and if he snail become
governor he will discharge the duties of that
office in a manner entirely satisfactory to the
people.?Yorkvllle Enquirer.
The Preeaand Banner cordially agrees with
all the good things which the Enquirer has
said of Col. Hoyt. He has, as far as we know,
lived a blameless life, and has striven lor the
higher standards. Our personal relations
have been pleasant, and we believe a mutual
kindly regard has existed since a period
dating before the war.
What we objected to in Mr. Hoyt's campaign,
was bis political policy. He made
vigorous warfare against the dispensary?the
Krt# m/v niton Kn/t U/lth nil?
UOBL IOW bUdli WU Ot CI UUU ?? ?k>u WM*
convictions, we would vote for any friend ol
the dispensary, against any enemy of that
law. We know whereof we apeak, when we
Bay that the law has brought better results to
Abbeville than any other law that has been
' tried, and we have tried: License, high
I license, prohibition and dispensary.
Speaking from memory, our recollection 01
Col. Hoyt'9 address Is, that It was composed
largely of the stock in trade of the liquoi
element, in which the State officers came in
for much censure, while condemnation foi
the outlaws, or persons who violated the lawt
and then resisted arrest, was notable for 1U
absence. The dispensary was arraigned at
the cause of all the trouble. Very little, ii
anything, was said as to the Colonel's intention
to enforce the law, if elected governor.
We have not a copy of the address before us
but tbe above 1b our recollection. Ab a prooi
that tbe Colonel's addreBs was against the dla
pensary, we would cite tbe action, or lntentlor
ot the license men, in supporting the pro
blbltlon ticket.
, ' The Mountaineer some time ago placed thli
newspaper at a disadvantage in this matter,
and we could not reply without going on the
defensive or else putting In a plea of denial,
and so we let the matter pass. Colonel Hoyt
knows that this newspaper Is bis friend personally,
but he also knows that when be as
sails tbe dispensary law, he gives reason for
our lighting back.
y If Col. Uoyt had omitted from his "ady
dreBS" tbe arraignment of tbe State officers
for enforcing the dispensary, and had made
I utterances, such as he Is quoted recently as
having made, to tbe effect that If he could not
get prohibition be would enforce tbe dispensary
law better than it ever had been, be
would have been nearer right.
Ab a matter of fact, this newspaper iB sorry
I that It. And nthAr nowananprR havA hppn t-aklnc*
part in this election race. But when newspapers
were boosting Col. Hoyt, we couldn't
remain Bllent when Governor McSweeney
was being assailed.
We hope next election year that somebody
will run for governor who endorses the dlspenaary
law, and who Is In favor of keeping
It open for fewer hours. A oandldate who
c would run on that plank would get the sup
I port of this newspaper, however little that
might be worth.
The "Unholy Alliance."
The letter of Hon. B. R. Tillman to Rev. J,
O. Wilson, editor of the Southern Christian
'< Advocate, will be read with interest.
8peaklng from the best Information that we
have, a very large percent of the preachcrs ol
I. seclloa have not only not made an unholy
alliance, but they are not going to vote
^ the prohibition ticket. We have not the
BUgliest doubt that effort wuk ma<lu to induce
some of the preachers in this town to attend
and give oountenance to the proposed polltlml
nrnhlhitinn mofitino- wHUh mon K/? a
here, but none of tb6m agreed to be drawn
Into politics and no preacher at tbls place
oonsented to attend such a meeting. From
tbe lights before qb, tbe preachers of tbli
county are not intermeddling with poltllct
> and those preachers who know of the wholesome
restraints of tbe dispensary are not
going to vote to do away with tbe present restrictions
wbloh are imposed upon tbe traffic
In liquor.
We know that Senator Tillman did not in
tend to give offense to tbe preachers as a
>. class. His remarks were not applicable tc
them and we know that he would not willingly
wound the whole for the aots of a few.
Senator Tillman owes it to himself and to
tbe preachers of tb's State, to revise hie
sweeping charge against the preachers as a
class. His remarks apply only to those wbo
have gone into pontics. There was and lc
no ground for the offensive charge against a
* very large majority of the preachers. While
we believe there is abundant proof, that there
was ground for bis charge of "unholy alllahce,"
as far as a few are concerned, yet there
, Is no proof that tbe charge properly lies at tbe
door of perhaps four-fifths of the preaohers ol
the State.
Senator Tillman Inflicted great pain upon
some ministers whose conduct has been irreproachable
and whose fidelity to the dispensary
Is scarcely less zealous than his own.
Not Consistent.
The political preachers who are being supported
by the liquor men In their warfare
against the dispensary, will prove the popularity
of the dispensary, while falling to induce
the church to form an "unholy alllauce."
If preachers and liquor men form an alllanoe
to defeat the dispensary, the fact will not be
endorsed by the popular vote of the people.
y The better sentiment among intelligent layjrpen
has always condemned politics in the
! pbta And the preacher who goes out Into
tbeNiimiito hnnt nmiloflnr. m i. v. .i-~ -ki.
Ikey-gt^zllng element may have cause to regret
tb^^esoclatlon. As a rule, preaohers
aeek association and friendship among temperance
people^Httflstlan people.
i If a man Is kno^fr t^"*the company he
keeps, what are we to think of the sincerely
and honesty of a preacher prohibitionist who
seeks the association and support of liquor
men on moral questions ?
While it Is true that some of the best men
In the world have become victims of the
liquor habit, yet, as a rule, they do not expect
preachers to form an alliance with them
on their weakest point.
| Wortli Attention.
; Last Hammer citizens of this city pledged
I 96,000 to the survey of the Hlaok Diamond
r Kail road from Anderson to Port Koyal.
[ since theu the burden has been assumed
by the tax-payers. Before paying over th?
I money, would It not be well to have an ltem>
/ zed statement of the expense of that Buryey 1
|t China.
I The trouble in China is etlll threatening
I but we give you our word that we cannot tell
I- vhe prospect lor peace or war. Things look
I very ugly to us, and they cannot long remain
I as they are. We will have war In earnest at
I very early date, or else mutters clear up.
" > r.r.vr'f-v-.' -
Prohibition Dictation.
Mr. J. L. Trlbble, of Anderson, is a mighty
good man la many respects, but his forte
would seem to lie elsewhere tbau in
writing prohibition screeds for the news,
papers. Viewed as a whole the angles and
ldlosycransles of bis writings remind us of
the tracings of a crazy quilt, the architecture
of which excels In jumbles and surprises.
If we are not misinformed Mr. Trlbble was
once mayor of the city of Anderson. He
then, it is said, had the liquor men as mad as
wet hens. They despised his prohibition
principles at that time.
We learn that the liquor men of Anderson
are now greatly In love with Mr. Trlbble and
his prohibition principles.
wha? hao hrnntrht nhout the chanee ? Has
Mr. Trlbble embraced a different kind of prohibition
from that whioh he formerly espoused
? If not, why are so many temperance
people standing aloof from him while the
liquor men of Anderson, so to speak, are
rushing to his arms, and sleeping serenely
In bis bosom.
It would indeed be a funny thing to see the
liquor men of Anderson marching to the polls
under the leadership of Mr. Trlbble.
If Mr. Trlbble could lead the whiskey men
and the temperance men as triumphantly as
be led our people into the colossal and monui
mental trap, the Black Diamond Railroad, be
would immortalize himself. For fifteen
years this town has been anxious to get a tax
on the corporation for the benefit uf the Cum>
berland Gap road, now re-named the Black
1 Diamond. It remained for Mr. Tribble to get
the desired burdeu on our shoulders.
Ersblne College.
We have received a oopy of the ourrent
' catalogue of Ersklne College, of which Frank
\ Young Pressly, D. D , /s President. From the
r catalogue we make the following extraots:
Ersklne College is the property of the Asao'
elate Reformed 8ynod of toe South. It was
i founned and organized In the year 1939. The
, firs, President wa? Rev. E. E. PresBly, D. D.,
with the following corps of Professors: Mr.
1 N. M. Gordon, Rev J. N. Young, and Rev. J.

means of Ibe College Id creased, additional
, professors were employed nntll Ibe plans of
' 1339 were fully met. It has bad the following
1 gentlemen as
Presidents: Rev. E. E. Pressly, D. D., Rev.
R. C. Grler, D. D., (two terms, 1847 to 1858 and
1 1865 to 1871), Rev. E. L. Patton, L. L. D.. Rev.
W. M. Grler, D. D., Rev. F. Y. Pressly, D. D.
. The first Faculties were drawn mostly from
Northern Colleges, such as Jefierson, Pa., and
> Mlama University, Ohio. In later years they
I have been taken from graduates of oolleges in
r the South?saob as the university of Georgia,
Soutb Carolina College, and Eiskine College.
' Several of them have taken oourses of special
study In Yale, John Hopkins University,
Princeton, Amherst, etc.
' The course of Instruction Is believed to be
! as through and full as the ordinary purposes
- of an education require, or as the time usual.
ly devoted to a college course will permit it to
be.
While It Is true that, like most denominational
colleges, Ersklne Is tbe child of bard
, struggles, yet she has now attained sucb ace
and growth as place her future beyond tl.e
> dangers of ordinary contingencies.
?
m ^
Sbonld Not Take Part.
We notice that tbe Spartanburg Herald and
other newspapers who are opposed to tbe
dispensary object to Senator Tillman taking
part in the campaign dlsusslon of tbe dlspen'
sary.
As far as the dispensary is concerned, there
' is no need of Senator Tillman's activity In |
behalf of bis pet scheme. The people have
accepted the dispensary as tbe solution of]
| tbe liquor traffic In South Carolina, and if
his discussion of the subject is objected to by
anybody, It might be well for Mr. Tillman to
let tbe matter rest. The dispensary Is not In
the slightest danger. No combination of men
or clroumstances could overthrow tbe lawt
and Mr. Tillman may rest satisfied as to the
result.
Prohlblton Leaders.
i We see Mr. Featheretone credited with the
assertion that the prohibitionists are going to
> make an effort to get a representative In the
Legislature from every County.
If carried ont openly and above board tbe
effort is praiseworthy. But the people
should make no mistake. In this County,
thn nrohlbltion vote would no doubt be so
small tbat no man would be foolish enough
to make tbe race on tbat Issue.
i As we do not believe tbat any candidate for
' tbe Legislature would take tbe place under a
misapprehension, It might be well for tbe
candidates to make plain statements as to
i bow tbey stand?whether they favor the dispensary
or prohibition.
,
I Nothing Like Claiming: Things.
1 The News and Courier makes a most asion!
lshlng statement when it says "that from
1 two-thirds to three-fourths of tbe entire
> amount of capital invested in tbe cotton
' mills In tbe upper part of this State, and em'
ployed by these mills In the conduct of their
' business was Charleston capital."
Can tbe News and Courier show where
! Charleston has subscribed to three per
cent, or the original capital stock of tbe cot'
ton milllnterestslu thlsState? NewEngland,
' and not Charleston, built South Carolina's
' mills. We are told that one mill in Spartanburg
bu 902,000 of home capital and $438,000 of
New England money.

( Chester Lantern.
Tbe names are changed in the above parat
graph, but tbe "Mr. and Mrs." are correctly
reprinted. The Chester Lantern Is edited by
a scholar, and we would like to ask bis reason
| for inserting the "and Mrs." Tbe presumpt
tlon in tbls country Is that a gentleman's
, children are born to him by bis ,wife. We
know of but one Instance in this county
where it would be well to note who Is the
mother of the father's children. Of course
there may be Instances in Chester where It
would be well to state whether a man's child
was bom at borne, but we presume that such
Instances are rare.
Division of Neniiment.
We have people In tbla town who believe
Hon. F. B. Gary will be elected Governor.
Others believe that Colonel Hoyt will be
elected. Some seem to think that senator
Tillman's Interference In behalf ol the dispensary
will bring about this result.
And there are others who believe Governor
MoSwdeney will be elected.
ThePrese and Banner reserves Its conjectures
for the simple reason that we know
very little about lL Any of the candidates
would make a eood eovernor, and we have
little to gain or lose any way.
- -?
For the Lefflalatnre.
We note with pleasure that Charleston has
a first clasa chance to elect a good man to the
House of Representatives In the person of
Mr. F. H. MoMaster. A better man would be
bard to find, and If Charleston has a Just appreciation
of his merits that city will have a
most exoellent representative next winter in
the General Assembly. Mr. McMaster used
to be one of us, and a stralghter or fairer man
never lived. He's honest; that's certain.

Saturday morning Mrs. Rosannab Reagln
fell asleep tn Jesus, aged 84 years and 1 week.
For some years this dear mother has been
deprived of her eyesight and has been an invalid,
but when you visited this home It was
always a pleasure for she could entertain and
Instruct you and she was such a cheerful sufferer,
She leaves several stepchildren, one of
whom, a son, and her only child, a daughter, ;
lived with her and they have not aot-nsure for
things left undone, no alter words. They sacrificed
many pleasures to be with her, which
was a greater pleasuie. We have never seen
such devotion between parent and child. For
the last few weeks as her body grew weaker
her mind materially weakened and If you 1
would ask her who she loved she would say
"my Savior" and then say, "my sweet child'"
and that cannot half express it. Htie read and <
sang and prayed with and for her and w?
think these words appropriate; " what mora
could she do then she hath already done. Sh?
was a ripe Chlftlan garnered In tbe home
Jesus has prepared for those that love Him
and keep His oommandments." She was ifee
eiBter of the late Mr. Adrlen Brown, was born
and reared and lived here and was a life long
member of Long Cane Church. Jesus said
unto her, "I am the ressurrectlou and the
life, he that belleveth In Me, though be be
dead, yet shall live," and "whosoever lovethj
and belleveth in Me shall never die."

Tbe Sonny Slope Picnic.
The morning of tbe 97th inst., was quite a
gloomy looking morning for the annual picnic
at Sunny Slope. | Notwithstanding tbe
early showers of rain, crowds came from all
directions. By 11 o'clock a large company
bad gathered, variously estimated at from o<JU
to l.WX). By noon old Sol came from bis hiding
place, tbe clouds disappeared and everyone
seemed to be gay and pleasant. By this
time tue speakers bad arrived ?n<! tbe crowd
were awaiting tbem at tbe stood.
Tbe first speaker waa Senator Oraydon.
The Senator made an excellent speech. We
are glad to see the Senator ana have him
with us. We believe wevoloe the sentiment
of tbe county at larger that he la one of whom
we are ail proud. . .Congressman Latimer
spoke next. It la,useless to fcpeak of Mr.
Latimer as a stranger fit Honny Slope or
throughout tbe '-bird district as be has served
us faithfully in cong/era quite awhile.
Mr. Verner made a good speech. He made a
strong Impression on tbe people. Dr. Wycbe
made an able speech. Tbp doctor asked in be
elected to congress because rotation In office
Is to tbe beet Interest of tbe people.
Tbe speeches of both Messrs. Boggs and
Mnnn?r iKa MohARt order. Both are
gentlemen of tbe truest type. It will be a difficult
task to decide wblcb one would make
tbe beet solicitor.
The speeches were lntersperced with music
by the Level LaDd string band. Tbe music
was good and was complimented by mauy.
Tbe county candidates were out In full
foroe, having a hearty baud shake and pleasant
word for all.
The ladleti spared no effort* to make the
picnic a grand success. When dinner was
called they spread a sumptous feast-dainty
dishes In abundance that would satisfy th#
hunger of the hard to please. There was
nothing to mar the pleasure: In fact It was
a day long to b? remembered by all. There
has never been a more enjoyable day spent on
Sunny Slope picnic grounds. A Visitor.
