In pressing the limitation upon
the whiskey question w? are looking
more to the generation that is
coining on than that which is passing
away. Wo are having respect
more to the safety of young men
than of the old. We cannot hope
to do much to men of middle life
who have in earlier years contracted
the drink habit. The
h a 1) i t has become fixed ?
a very part of the mm. This is
one of the saddest things about
the drink bu -incss.
may fall into other follies
of youth, and aged and changed
conditions of life will work de
liverance. But the drink evil, no
circumstances will give freedom,
age only sees it become worse.An
old man of wide observation
recently said in our hearing: "1
can count on my lingers all the
drunkards in ("hester who, in my
a! I. - c 1 1 ^ i .
ume, utivti roioiiueu . una conun
ued sober until they died." It
seems to be ono of those cases
where "Kphraim is joined to his
idol, let him alone." We can't
hope to do much for the men who
havo allowed themselves to be
possessed of the drink demon, although
now and then we may
snatch one and another as a brand
from the burning, but the young
men who have not yet become
victims, they are the ones we
must put forth heroic efforts for.
"An (Mince of prevention is worth
a pound of cure." Let us do all
we can for those who are in the
grasp of this curse. But atmve
all, let us shield the young. Let
us put all possible temptations
out of their way. If wo can protect
the young men of the next
generation, we have practically
won the tight. We invite the aid
and co-operation ot every good
man, of every father and mother
in this crusade for the protection
of the young. ?Chester Lantern.
It whs generally supposed in
the beginning of the State campaign
that Governor Ellerbe was
a most vulnerable candidate, bu
his opponents are slaving their
cards badly for the Governor ha*
certainly not lost any feathers sc

position do not make and prov<

POLITICIAN ON POLITICS.
1 SOME OBSERVATIONS UPON
THE DEMOCRATIC CAMPAIGN.
The Speeches of the Candidates
Thought to Have But Little
Effect in Changing Votes.
Columbia Record.
- One of the campaigners, who is
1 a shrewd politician, when drawn
'[aside where the conversation
' could not bo heard, talked quite
freely and interestingly to a Record
reporter today about the
progress of the campaign and
' how matters are shaping them1
solves. Being lead on to discuss
the alleged slate which the friends
of Governor Ellerbe are trying to
carry o.ut, the politician said:
"So the slate has been noised
about, has it? Well, to be perfectly
candid with you, 1 am compelled
to say such a combination
was attempted, but before tunny
mot tings were held it hat! to be
abandoned as impracticable. You
J can't work slates in this primary
anyway, and the attempts had as
well be stopped. Every man in
this tight must 'tote his own
skillet' and have his work done
at the polls for himself alone. You
I needn't bother about that slate
any more, because it is broken
and cannot be mended.".
Sj>eakingof the gubernatorial
contest, the politioian said that
Ellerbe was fast losing ground,
! in spite of the well-organized,
! hard fighting machine at his hack,
and that Featherstone, the prohibitionist,
was gaining ground.
44Featherstone, you see," said
he, 44is the only other candidate
for the inh ti'Kn hat ?> iliulinM iu
- J " ?~ - ?-V...W
sue and an organization." He
rather douhted the power of the
machine that was backing Ellert>e,
recalling to mind the defeat
of Governor Evans with the solid
support of the machine.
"But," sharply lesnmed the
speaker, rousing himself from a
short reverie, "the fact is none of
us have any intelligent or reliable
idea as to how this thing is
going to turn out. The meetings
indicate hardly anything. There
i is realh no orator in the party
except Floyd, whose eloquence is
" winning him votes right along. 1
5 don't believe the other speeches
> are going to change things much.
j I just have a sneaktng idea that
5 the people are going to vote
i quietly, solierly and according to
) their best judgment this time and
. that therefore the best men art
going to get into office."

tiuie be will admit his error.
Uncle George Tillman, with his
characteristic honesty and candor
has publicly announced upon the
stump that ho believes Governor
Kllerbe to be a pure man, saying,

that if he (relieved hbn to Ire otherwise
