Hemphill, editor of the News and Courier, dropped In on us last Monday j mornlug. and we were real glad to si e him. His good health and bis good looks are on a I par with his ability as an editor and as an I Interesting talker. He lavors tbe nomination of Governor Jobuson as a Democratic [candidate for President. He thinks good I things oi Governor Johnson persouany, #uu he believes, with blm Id tbe lead, that tbe Democrats have a lighting chance to win. He thinks very well ol Mr. Bryan as a gentleman, but Mr. Hemphill thlnfcs that tbe Nebraskan's chance of election is not better I than his own. The fact is, Mr. Hemphill Is enthusiastic for Johnson. Mttj. Hemphill was associate editor of the Abbeville Medium up to ISSO. when Mr. Dameou, seeing merit in his ability as un editor,called blm to Charleston to assist id editing the News and Courier. At Mr. Daw6on's death Mr. Hemphill succeeded blm as editor of Cbarlestou's grtat dally, which posltioa he holds with IncreaslDg honors as tbe years roil by. Mr. Hemphill thinks an editor should be an editor without dabbling in politics. He was asked to be delegato to the Democratic State Couveutioa, and was asked to be a candidate for delegate to Deo ver. He declined In both Instances. Mr. Hemphill thinks Charleston Is on tlie eve of a prosperous career. 11 le becoming a metropolitan city. Twenty-seven feet of water affords a floating pool for the biggest of your Uncle Sam's sblps. The money spent and to be spent on tbe navy yard U a big thing for Caarleston, Tbe drainage of tbe swamps around the city and the Improved health of the country districts will all contribute to Charleston's growth. Mr. Hemphill was on bis way to Due West when we saw him. He goes to deliver | medals that have been awarded to students In the Female College, and he will be pleased > to meet old friends of the years that are * gone. A gentleman on the street in speaking of " Mr. Hempbill, said that be looked like, or ? favored Governor Johnson In appearauce. j We didn't learn 11 the personal resemblance to his favorite candidate was the cause that drew Mr. Hemphill to Governor Johnson. Mr. Htiupblll spoke pleasantly of Abbeville, and noted its growth and prosperity with pleasure. In twenty-eight years the town has ereatly changed, and many new clttzens now fill tbe places that were held by others' when he was one or ub, i f< VinuieH of tbe Democlatic Executive t Committee. t< The County Democratic Executive Committee met at the Court Hou?e June 2nd, at call of President.
