THE LEDGER. Thurlow S. Carter. EDITOR AND MANAUKU. SATIKDAY, OCT. 1, 1898. FOR I' S SENATOR. A C .!<? of Ncwliorrv, For nmlly Announces 1 lis Candidacy. 1\> the Editor of the (ireenville N evs: \t the request of a number of my friends that 1 should become a candidate for United States senator, I enclose the following open letter to the prohibition democrats of the State: Ikdieving that Senator Tillman s largely responsible for our defeat in the late primary election; that he is more responsible than any other man in the State for the opening of the State dispensary ami the trouble and bloodshed that has been caused by forcing it upon tho democrats of South Carolina, I have decided to ask the prohibition democrats of the Stale to endorse me as a ean^ ?l.~ .1 iruiur unuir iiiu wniMM-iHUr |MIiiiarv in 1000 for United States senator to succeed Senator Tillman. And if they do so I will then discuss the merits of the dispensary before the people, and endeavor as a democrat who is deeply interested in the welfare of the people and the good name of my State to convince them that the State dispensary should bo closed to the sale of whiskey as a beverage and that South Carolina as a State should wash her hands of this infamous business and the men who inaugurated this corrupt political machine within her borders. I favor a prohibition law for the whole State but would bo willing afttr the State has passed this law to exempt such counties as by a two-thirds vote of the democrats of the county would sink to he permitted to sell under count}' control, according to the provision of the present State constitution: Provided, such county would assume ail the expenses of the enforcement of the law and the responsibility connected with its sale after it was exempted from the State law. If the prohibition democrats decide that they think best to indorse some other democrat for the position I will cheerfully abide their decision and support loyally whomsoever they endorse. From a business standpoint I could not afford to give up iny present position for that of I'nited States senator, and I have no desire for political honors unless 1 can by enjoying them honor the people who confer them upon me, but there is no sacrifice that 1 could make for the good people and name of my State that 1 would not willingly make if called upon to do so.

Gapt .John P Hunter Proposed for tho Office of tho Superintendent of the Penitentiary. (From the Charleston Post.) Efforts are being made to get Capt John P Hunter, former Cnited States marshal, to enter the race for superintendent of the State penitentiary. His friends are strongly urging him to become a candidate and it seems that he will command a rood vote before the legislature. ' C O Capt Hunter's democracy is of the unimpeachable sort and; his recognized ability and personal character will make him a strong candidate if he enters the! race. I Capt Hunter has a large cir-! cle of friends in Charleston who 1 would like to see him enter the i l race and who would be willing to i . I ( work in his behalf. Capt Hunter was the immediate predecessor j j of Cnited States Marshal Melton. I i He proved a most efficient officer and it was generally regretted! .
