I T 1 Ellerbe Contrasts tho Unanimity of His First Election With Hit- I tor Stride for I lis Second? i I'le Will Try to Do llis Duty. I Special to Charleston Post. Columbia, S. C., .Ian. 18. ? Gov. Ellerbe and Lieut. Gov. McSneenev ware inaugurated at noon in tho hall of the House of Representatives. The oath was administered t>v 1 I?u1?ro KrnestGarv in the presence of the joint assembly and a largo number of visitors. The following is the Governor's inaugural: 'Fellow citizen: Two years ago I was called by an almost unprecedented majority to the highest office within your gift. The reasons for my overwhelming I victory are not far to seek. We hail just passed through four years of the bitterest partisan warfare that had ever shaken the State. It had arrayed brother against brother and friend against friend. It had engendered the bitterest feelings between the different classes of our population. Town and country were at war, instead of working harmoniously for a common good. The reform movement brought many substantial | gains to the people; but, like every other social revolution, it i brought with it the concomitant and inseparable ills of which I have spoken. The good remains; the evil in time disappears, the people, especially the people of South Carolina, are generous and in their hearts the passions of I partisan hate soon die out, selfI consumed. 44 'Twos thus, after four years of strife, that the people in mutu- | al, well beseeching ranks inarched . all one way, no more opposed against acquaintance, kindred and allies. Ignoring party lines, they turned with characteristic generosity to me; not because of special worth or fitness on my par*, I for I had done nothing to merit j I such marked esteem, but because I i they who know me best believed 1 that as Governor I would serve not a faction, but the whole peo pie, and strive to bring in an era j of peace and good fellowship. i Thus was I enabled to launch the I . 'ship of Slate under favoring I bteezes. Knightly and generous souls came forward with pledges of co operation. The press, with scarcely an exception, promised support and prophesied a happy ! voyage under favoring skies, j With many misgivings 1 undertook the task to which I was called, j scarcely daring to trust my ability, ! to meet the expectations of the people. Would that it had been possible. ANOTHER PICTURE. "The scant majority, however, recently accorded me after a stubbornly fought fight, is in sbarp | contrast with the overwhelming ' victory of two years and yet I have no reason either to complain or whine. My duty I have per* formed to the beHt ot my ability. My mistakes I shall neither at* tempt to condone, nor to shift the burden of their responsibility on others. With deep gratitude to ed in their support, with malice towards none and good will towards inv follow citizens, with a profound appreciation of the great honor conferred, I enter upon my second tern? as Governor of this historic coninionwcsth. To the citizens, let mo repeat, whose votes wet o cist for me I can never express my gratitude; hot while deeply irratefnl to my friends 1 shall endeavor to forget iny duty to the whole peoplo and to treat with fairness and consideration even the bitterest of my political enemies. WILL TRY To HO WELL. "I repeat what I said two years ago. '1 nssme this offico uutrammeled by a single prouiiso inconsistent with the welfare of the people.' To discharge my duties faithfully und well, to win the approval and to merit the confideuce of all patriotic citizens shall he my highest ambition. In my former inaugural was outlined a policy, which in the main 1 shall still endeavor to pursue. In conc union, my country-men, I bespeak for myself, dur?ng the two coming years, if my life be spared the "utmost stretch" of your generosity and charity. "All good citizens are struggling, though over different roads for the same goal, the highest welfare of our beloved State. Let us vie with each other not to engender wrath and bitterness oi | speech, but to allay passion and prejudice, and to enkindle in the hearts of the rising generation a | deeper love for our grand old State. With confidence in the integrity of our people, with faith j in God, who favors and protects the righteous, 1 shall take up the burdens of this high trust with fresh hope and strong courage." lleaiing of Hagan's Case Hegini Next Wednesday.

Mr MoCul lough's bill to make a j slundor aginst a woman a crime j by statute 111 this State is well inj tended, I?tit there are practical i obstacles in the way of its success. I j To begin witb, there would bo a j humiliating and unpleasant pro! cess of proving by the woman ! herself that the things spoken I against her are false aud slander' I OU8. What wo need in that diree ' tion is revival of the good, old ' j fashioned southern habit of lodg ! iug eighteen buck shot?that, we I believe, is the regulation dose prescribed by time honored cmsj torn ? in the person of the man ' who from nialace o?* folly assails the character of a good woman. 'That is the best, quickest and II moat satisfactory and conclusive ' , way of such matters. It prcents ' litigation, saves expense and an1 noyance and serves as a warning. ' | We have observed that whenever J i un atrair of this kind occurs in ) I a community slander becomes ? tonguo tied there for a term of * years and almost anybody's rop1 utation is safe. As a role women r do not talk scandal against oacli 9 other unless they are instigated or * encouraged by men and even the B worst gossips of that sex are subi dued by the knowledge that their 1 male representatives will be held t responsible in case a ecandal is traced to the family. e The old rule was that respectaB ble mca should not use the name of a respectable woman in any f way except in the presence of some of her close friends or of 8 other women?in such compaay ' us to make sure that the use n should !> respectful. A mau e: who used a woman's name lightly j or in improper places or on inap * propriate occasions was stamped e ; as a blackguard immediately. ^ Scandal can not be prevented ? by law.
