The constitution of this State "* presumes upon the manhood of 11,1 the Stato with the ballot to protcet the lights of women and therefore suffrage to women is nv not given. The manhood of ^ South Carolina is appealed to to- vc day as it has not been in years. ?' An issue is being made in this vt campuign which concerns tho in- P' terests, tho happiness, yjea, almost *c tho very existence of many of our ?1 mothers, our wives and our daughters. It matters not to them 'Y whether the salo of whiskey is made by blind tigers, by tho licensed bar-room or bv tho sa sovereign State itself in a dispen- th sary. It matters not from whom it is purchased their suffering, I" their misery, their grief comes cn the same. Had they the suffrage how long would this evil be legalized? Have women been denied Pl UP il.-i it - ' f ? v sumutjo mai xneir mioresis may : thus be trampled under foot by a , ,z< debauched master. Where is the : manhood *?f South Carolina? The . result of tho election on the 30th day of this month will show. j Dispensary advocates tell us hi that the dispensary law properly g" knforcep is un(juestionably the best law that can be enact2d for ,ir the regulation of the sale of liquor, hi We reply that every man who ti< honestly believes this should vote as for Featherstone, the prohibition Uf candidate for Governor.

If you are an honest advocate of the dispensary law us G< a stop towards prohibition you So nro bound to admit this, and, fur-, thermore, you are bound to vote y for Foatherstonc. No one questions that Featherstone will lead in the race for governor in this county.

General L o is thoroughly acquainted with conditions there and no better selection could have been made.

The lines are now ainly drawn: Tho license whisjy men will vote for Tillman or mmpert; tho prohibitionists, and sponsarv advocates who honestwant to see the dispensary law lOl'KKI.Y EN FORCED, will vote r Featherstone; and tho dispenry advocates who don't want e dispensary law any hotter enreed than it has been in the ist will vote for one of the other mdidates for Governor. Drunkards and minors cannot irehase whiskey at the dispensa'. Only sober, law abiding cit tins are presumed to quench eir thirst at this State institu >n. 25,000 pillions was pur. used by the State for the month August to supply or rather leneh the thirst of this respects e class of our citizens. 300,000 illons |>er j-eur for sober, law>iding customers !

He is being talked more than any other candidate. Rarely has a candidate fought ;uinst such odds and gained so uch in the respect of the people, d of his opponents even, ns Mr iatherstono.
