Will Improve tho Kxucution of the Law if Fleeted? Position on the I'M neat ion a' Question. Special to The Daily News. Columbia, Sept 2.?C C I Featherstone tonight in an irter] view said: "Well you know I'm not the ; man to bonst as I suppose you have discovered from the cam ipaign 1 made, but I will say that j my chances have Iveen growing brighter and brighter for the laM j month. 1 was sure that 1 would l be in tho second race. I have i inudo an honest, clean cumpaion and have mude friends all over tho State and if my friends do their duty I will he the next govI ernov of South Carolina. People *11 over the State have heroine disgusted with the dispensary and I the manner in which it has heen used to further the interests of I certain parties. 'During the campaign whiskey was shipped into State hy houses from which the dispensary buys liquor and it was used in the inj terest of certain dispensary candidates. In addition to this, j many aro disgusted with the mnnj ner in which the dispensary has j been run. Hoor dispensaries ho| tel privileges, etc., iu various parts of the State have been run witb tho view of selling as much whiskey as possible. DerUlting disjiensers have not bceft handled as they should have been. Whiskey constables have gone beyond their duties and when they were | convicted hi the courts they lmve j been pardoned and allowed to go scott f?"oe. "Hut in case I should be elected governor and tho general assembly i should see lit to let the dispensary system stand it would not only be I my duty but my pleasure to en { force the dispensary law and ul1 j other laws to tho best of my ability. The law has some good features and with an honest, clean enforcement it can bo made ! to do much better service than it j has done in the past. 1 do not mean to lx? understood as charging that tie entire force of dis pensary officials aio rotten and corrupt, for I know tbut there are some good men amongst them j who aro seeking to do their full duty, but it can not be denied by I the most ardent advocates of the | law that there has been s largo j percentage of corruption and rottenness. It will not bo denied , that tho law is capable of great improvement along tho line of enforcement and to accomplish j this a bettor class of men will havo to be put in chargo of a great many of the offices. ?ifi l * ii ijhh noen cnargea that the prohibitionists, aro not in favor of enforcing tho dispensary law. 1 Such is not tho fact. So long as it remains a law as law abiding citizens they are in favor of its enforcement. Thoy would like to see it enforced by men all over I J the State who will make its management clean and honest, who will not use it as a political machine and to further their own 1 *\ I I private ends but who will inun iago it in such n way :i? to sell as littlo whiskey as possible. Such a state of affairs I will honestly ! endoftvor to bring about i i ca>c I am elected. "I am in' fav.tr of building up and improving in every way possible the common rchools. This must be done before the colleges ran flourish as they ought. Every | boy and girl in South Carolina ought to be given a good common j school education. When this is done with the h gh schools and academies scattered over the State ! it will be no trouble for the boys and girls to be prepared for college and the result will be the building up and flourishing of all ! of the colleges. As to our State ? colleges, I d.? not believe that any of them ought to be torn down or allowed to starve or languish for | want of support. It may be, and i doubtless is, true that there have been many or Ht least some extravagances in the management of our institutions. All this can and will bo coireetod in time. It must bo done. It is impossible I to keej) down extravagance in connection with such largo institutions as Clemson and Winthrop. Especially is this truo when they are in their infancy and before they become thoroughly organi zed, t?ut nil of this will ho overcome. 1 would not say aught against Clem son hut 1 wou'd say a word in praise of Winthrop. In my judgment thore is no better or grander institution in the South than Winthrop and I know whnrnif I itmnl; T Kn..? i-?? - .'I am ?wk A 1J (I V O I >1*1" 11 I there.

Instead of i tljis the standard ought to he raise-ij|ao Uyit she will not compote vtln our denominational colleges and she o.ight to Ik; put upon a tirmor aud better basis. The j same thing ought to he done in reference to the citadel. "One thing 1 would emphasize, j and then I am through talking. What wo want and what we must have in South Carolina is economy ! in the management of all our State affairs?not stinginess or | penuriousness for economy does not mean that?hut there are j extravagances which can and must be stopped.'' j MILLIONS GIVKN AWAY It is certainly gratifying to the public to know of one concern in tlit* land who are not afraid to he generous to the needy and sufferI nig.

Fairfax Court liouse, Va., i September 1.?Surgeon L C Duncan, the allege^! grave rob; ber, who was turned over to the | civil au:li;)ritioa by the military at Thoroughfare, was brought here Sunday by Sheriff Uor Ion, and is in jail awaiting trial. He has re tainod K \N0Moore, of this place, us his attorney, and an effort is being made to get bail. The case of Captain Duncan will come up in the county court for trial on the third Monday in September. Capt Louis C Duncan, surgeon of the Twontv-second Kansas 1 regiment, is held hv the sheriff of Fairfax county, Va., to answer an indictment charging him with desecrating Confederate graves at Bull Run, near Manassas. It appears that I)r Duncan, whose case has now become fiunjous, was no* sentenced to live ; years' imprisonment, as reported j in a press dispatch from Camp | mcade, l*a., but escaped much I more lightly at the hands of tho military court, there being a lack, of evidence to prove that ho actually took part in despoiling the graves. He was tried by court i martial under tho siity-tirst and I sixtV~S??COn<l rri>n?rol ~4' -rf n " "u,0? KJ1 war. The first charge was "conduct unbecoming an otlicer and gentle-j man," the specifications being that he witnessed and participated in the desecration of the grave of Maj ,1 T Duke, of the Fifth Ala hama Regiment, a well known (Jonfedorato officer, who v as a ari^norkof high degree. The Masonic (fraternity was interested in the prosecution in this case. IV Duncan, however, was acquitted of any complicity in the despoiling of the Duke grnvo, the evidence proving that ho was not ! present but in camp, j Tho second charge, under the sixty-second article of war, was "conduct prejudicial to good orj der and discipline." Tho specifications were (1) that ho particU pated in the desecration of tho grave of one Humphreys, and i "2) failed to exercise his authority as ; an officer in not stopping the d< sojcration anil putting th 2 men so engaged under arrest. On thoj first specification he was acquitted, | hut on tho second specification thoj court found him guilty. MARCHING HOME. The First South Carolina Will ho Mustered Out. I I Washington, Sept 2. ?

CENTRAL REGION BETTER. iTho Week Favorable for Com in West Localities?Genera' lin provenient in Tobacco l>tiriu?5 August. Washington, Aug. .'TO.?The weather bureau in its review of crop conditions for- the weok ending August 2!' rays: Continued heavy rains have proved unfavorable in the South Atlantic and Last Gulf States, I while drought prevails in portions of Texas, Arkansas and Missouri and generally through the States of the eastern Rocky Mountain slope. The week has proved very favorable in the New Eng J land, the Middle Atlantic States, the lake region and generally 1 throughout the central valleys, j the high temperatures favoring the rapid maturing of crops. With the exception of portions of Kansas, Nebraska, Missouri and South Dakota, where the late crop has been injured by drought and nvcptidvo hn.if (Ln ? . w mv/i.u, v??v-? t? w*v una [ been very favorable for corn, which is maturing "rapidly under favorable conditions throughout the central and northern portions of the country. In the southern counties of Nebraska, corn has' i . 1 ripened too rapidly under the high temperatures of this and the preceding week, and as a result a' considerable proportion of the j crop in that section of the State 1 will he chalFy. Some cutting has' been done in nearly all of the! principal corn States. Harvest and threshing of spring wheat continue in Oregon and Washington. In Washington, threshing shows good yields, which, however, ' have heen somewhat lessened by poor crops of late wheat *in some sections, as a result of the excessive hoat of the first half of, August, which has also injured | the crop in Oregon. The week has heen very unfav orable to cotton, especially over the greater part of the eastern portion of the cotton belt, where; it has suffered from heavy rains, i which have been continuous for I the past month, causing rust, shed-1 ding and too rapid growth of; stalk. In portions of North Caro-' lina and over the general part of the cotton region, conditions of] the past week havo been somewhat | more favorable, and tho crop is improved in Tennessee, Missouri and portions of Mississippi and j Arkansas. Cotton has also im-1 ptoved in central and northern Texas, hut insects are causing damage in many localities, and iirnmat 11 ro nimninrr ntnl ulm.lilin , r> are reported from the central and southern portions of the State. Picking is Incoming general in northern portions. Except in New England, where warm, dty weather is needed to mature the crop, the week has been favorable for tobacco, ageneneral improvement l?eirg report' ed from all tobacco-producing States. Cutting is general in Kentucky, Virpinin and Maryland. and a largo |?art of the early ! crop has been housed. Over the ^ ? r r<wt.< 1 ?*-?-? \J\fd. greater part of the country tIks month |of August lias been exceptionally favorable for plowing for fall seeding, which work is generally well advanced, and in Ohio, Indiana and Illinois is practically finished, while some seeding has been done in Iowa. In portions of Kansas, Iowa and Nebraska, however, the condition of the soil has been less favorable. * <e? ? . I)R KILUO VINDICATED.
