FOE EE-ELECTION.
Governor Ellerle Announces His
Candidacy.
Views on Liquor Iss?Favors the
Dispensary First; Then Prohibi
tion?1Tired of Being Criticised.
C lumbiu State.
Governor Ellerbe Las declared his
candidacy for re-election as governor
of the State and in advance of his
annual message to the general assemo
o
bly he has seeu tit to present his
- ...J i? limtnr rtilPS
V1CWS 111 H'giiru iu uiiu nijum
tiou. He bas also strongly expressed
himself in regard to certain criticisms
that have been made of his official
acts.
Wednesday night the governor
gave to the press the following inter
view. He said: "I see iu The News
and Courier of Tuesday an editorial
commenting on the report from its
Chester correspondent, which, while
not directly doing so, may by insinuation
lead people to believe that the
governor advised Newbold not to
surrender. The language used by
the Chester correspondent is: uHe
was instructed by the State authorities
not to surrender until today or
until the court of general sesions of
Spartanburg county had adjourned."
"I wish to denounce the statement
as absolutely and unqualifiedly false.
I sent Mr. Newbold no message, gave
no advice and made no terms with
any one for his surrender. I am
getting heartily sick aud tired of
such dirty flings and insinuations.
It seems that a gentleman has no
protection, hut has to submit to such
salnderous insinuations.
4T have also been harshly criticized
for pardoning May and Buice for
killing Sims. Sims was a desperate
moonshiner who was openly violating
the laws of the State and when May
aud Caice attempted to seize the
liquor Sims started to fire on the
officers, and had they not killed him,
men in the discharge of their duty
would have been killed. Moreover,
Mr. Crawford, who was present, testified
that the killing was in self
defense. This is entirely aside from
the petitions and the endorsement of
seven of the jurors. There were in
addition to other petitions one signed
hv iimtiv of the very best of Spartan
~V J ?
burg's citizens.

senseless criticism.
''Several days ago an interview was
printed from Rev. Cirroll, in which
j I was leported to have said that
la'her than join the liquor men, I
would go to?.' A great many have
asked me to till out that blank. What
I said was: 'Before I would turn
this State over te the liquor element.
I would go home and go to plowing.'
''The most difficult problem that ,
confronts us today is that of the
liquor traffic. The dispensary, I
think, is the best solution of the
question, but as the courts have ;
decided that the dispensary is not a
police regulation, I am in favor of
j amending the law so as to make it a !
i police regulation by eliminating the j
profit feature, and, if necessary, not
to sell it as a beverage, but only for i
medicinal and sacramental purposes, j
J "Those who advocate high license
! have surely not read carefully the
I decisions of the courts, for in the
case of Scott vs. Donald the courts
advanced the- view that the State .
could prohibit, the}* could inspect,
| but could do no more. If the disi
nensarv is not a rmlice regulation and
i " l~ o
the State cannot control the liquor
under the dispensary law, it certainly
j cannot do so under high license. Be
sides, under a high license system it
' would in a few months degenerate
into the open barrom. As a rule,
men who would buy a license to sell
whiskey would have no moral char- j
acter and would be altogether irre?
sponsible and perfectly indifferent to ;
I flin ivolforo r>f flip Staff* nnd nf flip
people. Their only object would, be
j to muke money aud the constitutional
i restrictions would be disregarded.
This liquor light is not factional
issue. It is a fight between the
moral elements of our people and
the liquor men."
'T)o vuu propose to make a fight
on this next veai?"
'T propose to go before the people
on my record and if necessary to
advocate the policy just outlined.
Some of my enemies have said I
might be elected because of the unwritten
law to give a governor two
j terms. I want it understood that no
one need keep out of the race on this
account, and I would not have it as a 1
mere matter of precedent if my efforts
did not warrant an endorsement.
"If I cannot refute the numerous
charges that have been made agraiust
me. and cannot show to the people (
that I have honestly and faithfully
j tried to discharge the duties of the (
j office, I do not care to be re electedSome
people may think it is a
very fine thing to be governor, but
there are other things I value more
highly and before I would sacrifices
my manliness or any principle I
would be defeated a thousand times
While I like to please I had rather .

done my duty than the applause of

From the Republican, Columbus, Iml.
While in the neighborhood of Rug :
by, Indiana, recently, a reporter was !
told that IVIiss Clara Hopkins, daugh- j
ter of Mr. Dennis Hopkins, a promi j
neut farmer of Bartholomew County, j

transformation. The reporter decided j
to investigate and learn the particu j
lars. He was driven to Mr. Hopkins' i
splendid country home, where he |
had an interesting conversation with I
? I
that gentleman regarding the illness
of his only daughter.
' You have been correctly inform- j
ed," said Mr. Hopkins, "for Clara j
has indeed had a severe siege. She
tried Dr. Williams' Piuk Pills for
Pale People and they did her more
good than all other medicines
together that she ever took. A few
boxes of that medicine accomplished
the cure of a case in a few months
which had bafiled physicians for
years.
About three years ago her health
began to fail. The doctor who
attended her said this was caused byweak
digestion. This produced
nerveousness, which was accompanied
by neuralgic troubles, which at
first was located in the nerves about
the heart. Of course this was a dangerous
location for any such trouble,
and she rapidly grew worse, notwith
standing that the physician was
treating her. This continued till a
year ago last November, at which
time she was almost constantly confined
to her bed.
' The neuralgia became gradually
worse, and finally she was a cun
firmed victim to it.
' Nervous prostration set in, and
she was soon all run down. Her
blood was impure and watery, and
her complexion became sallow aud
colorless. She had no strength, and
the least noise irritated her, she was
so nervous. We had another physi
cian, and he treated her steadily for
a year without doing- her any good
In fact, it seemed that she was continually
becoming worse. He finally
gave up the case as hopeless, and
advised us to get Dr. Williams' Pink j
Pills for Pale People for her, as he
said that they were the only thing
that would benefit her.
k*I procured a couple of boxes of
the pills, and found that their use
helped her cansiderably. She kept j
on taking them till she used about a !
dozen boxes, with the result that she I
was entirely well, and since then '

lUtMU licib Utrtru liU a>UJ^iuuio nuau- j
ever, of her ohl trouble. Dr. Wil- j
liams" Piuk Pills are certainly a won- |
derful medicine, which did a wonder- j
ful good in Clara's case, doing what
several physicians failed to accom- !
plish." _ j
All the elements necessary to give !
new life and richness to the blood j
and restore shattered nerves are con- J
tained, in a condensed form, in Dr. j
Williams' Pink Pills for Pale People. j
They are also a specific for troubles ;
peculiar to femoles, such as supprcs- !
sions, irregularities and all ful ins of :
weakness. Iu men they effect a lad j
ical cure in all cases arising from
mental worry, overwork or excesses
of whatever nature. Dr. Williams' i
Piuk Pills arc sold iu boxes uevt-r iu

boxes for *2 of), and may be had of I

The interview from Governor Dllerbe,
published Thursday, was somewhat
of a surmise to the politicians,
1 " !
and his announcement that he would
again be a candidate will have the i
n i
tendency to break up some of the po- !
litical slates which have been made '
up recently. While the governor has
been severely criticized, it is a fact
that he still has a number ol' strong
friends.
A gentleman who is a close observer
of political events, in rebelling to the
governor's interview aud an editorial '
in The Register on the '"Press and :
the Governor" said:
' The editorial Monday morning was !
>ODS
r, xze.,
ago. Prompt and ;
both timely ard just. The hearty ami
harsh criticism of the governor's acts,
in reference to the administration of j
the dispensary law, is not justified by i
the facts. If he has erred in granting
too many pardons, it is an error
on the safe side of the question.
''Tue old Ullage on ipiestious of ;
luv,'that it is better to let ninety-I
nine guilty persons go free than to i
punish one innocent person," may be '
too sweeping in its application, but :
the fact, which is undeniable, that the i
public conscience revolts at the idea i
of capital punishment in a majority ;
of cases, coming bi fore the courts for j
adjudication, is a circumstance that j
csnnot be ignored by any intelligent I
observer. So much so has this state j
of things gottou a foothold in the
body poliiic that some of the states
have abolished capital punishment
for all the misdemeanors, on the
criminal line, except the crime of
rape, or the most diabolical crimes of
murder.
''It is saiil ihe governor hasn't got
backbone, and is losing the respect
of even bis friends by bis vacilliating
course on tbe constibulatory and
metropolitan police questions. Hut
wbere is tbe evidence? Whenever be
was satisfied that tbe public scntiment
became powerful enough in j
Charleston to enforce tbe law within j
her municipal limits, be not only re- j
moved the mtt-opolitau police from j
Charleston, but be also yielded to tbe !
popular clamor and removed tbe con- I
stabulary from the entire state, j
Either from that cause of tbe adinis j
sion of original packages iu competi- j
tiou with tbe dispensary liquor, under j
Judge Simouton s decision, tnere nas i
been a marked increase of drunken- J
ness and crime within the state since ;
that time.
"It still remains an unsettled ques- j
tiou as to whether the dispensary is j
not the best solution of the liquor f
question yet discovered short of total ;
prohibion. Wherever the dispensary !
law has been sustained by a 'Correct ;
public sentiment, it has worked ad- j
mirably, as witness the testimony of j
many of the best ministers of the !
*
gospel in Charleston. And it is a '
notable fact that in Abbeville and i
Pickens counties, the operation of j
the law has been beneficent, sus
... , 11- I
tamed, as it is, by a correct puunc i
s ntiment. Aiul the same cau be
said of many other counties, and all
the trouble arising from the administration
of tLe law has been engen
dereu because of factional or partisan
opposition, and improper men ap
pointed to enforce the law.
"All the trouble has originated
mainly from these two causes, and if
the legislature will amend the law so
as to harmonize the state law with
the interpretation of the supreme
court of the United States we still
think it the best solution of the
liquor question yet evolved. It is j
either the dispensary or the high !
license system, and so far as I cau
now see, I greatly prufer the dis
pensary to the high license. In fact, j
if there is anything settled definitely j
in regard to the iiipior question in ,
this stak, it is, that the people of j
South Carolina will never again tol- j
erate the high license.

OBITUARY.
Mrs. Sarah P>. Kiminer nee Gable
died suddenly on the morning of
November 17, 18.>7, aged 72 years
a months and 4 days. This dear
moth* r in Isreal leaves to mourn their
irreparable loss five sor.s and one
daughter, an aged sister, twentyfive
grand children and four great
grand children, also a large circle of
relatives and friends.
In early life she became a widow
with six small children?one an infant.
Her labors and struggles for
them, her earnest r flbrts to bring
them 11 p to be God-fearing, honormen,
her strict integrity and ability
in the management of her affairs won
the admiration of all who knew hrr.
"With the bravery of a Spartan
mother, she sent her first born, a
boy of sixteen, to battle for "Our
Lost Cause", and through all those
trying years she did not lose heart,
but fought her light and gained her
queenly victory.
Her sons today are useful and honored
men, her daughter worthy of
such a mother. Not only to her own
loved ones was she kind and a flee
tiouale, but her large heart went out
in loving and tangible sympathy to
all who were needy or sorrowful, and
her gen tie, social nature made friends
for her wherever she was kuown.
Her faith was unfaltering, her ua
tare remarkably gentle and forgiving.
When iibkeel by loving grand
children why she did not resent injustice
01 unkindness, her invariable
reply was, "God will make that
light."
For eighteen years she knew that
death might come at any time, but
her implicit faith in God's promises,
lobbed it of its terrors. Her funeral
services took place at St. Peter's.
Lexington county, S. C., and were conducted
by lievs J. A. Cromer and J. (J.
Graiehen. The former, her beloved
pastor, preached a touching and most
/ MtnfnHinrr IFhJ" liotlv WJ1S
tenderly laid to rest under the shadows
of the church she loved so well,
aud the large congregation gathered
to pay their last tribute of love and
respect, together with the many
lovely flowers, lovingly laid upon her
grave, showed how much she was
respected and revered where she was
known.
"Give of the fiuit of her hands,
aud let her own works praise her in
the gates.

"What An Old Farmsr Says.
This is the advice of au ohl man
who tilled I lie soil for forty year*:
I am an old man upwards of three
score years, duiin# two scores of
which I have been a tiller of the soil.
I cannot say that I am now, but I
have been rich and have all that I
need, do not owe a dollar, have given
my children a good education, aHd
when 1 am called away will leave
enough to keep the wolf from the
dour. My expeiieiue taught ire
that.
(hie acre of laud well prepared ai d
well cultivated produces more than
I tl'.v (I'll Kill fi.il/ M'/> i?l>1 4 A
^ uivii m i nv urn > uiu cruiiic
imount used on one.
One cow, horse, mule, sheep or bog
well fed is more profitable than two
kept on the same amount necessary
to keep one well.
One acre1 of clover or grass is
worth two (f cotton where no clover
or grass is rui-ed.
No farmer who buys oats, corn ot
wheat, fodder and hny, as a rule, for
tin vcais, can keep the sheriff away
from his door in the end.
The fanner who never reads the
papers, sneers at book farming and
improvements, always has a leaky
ruuf, poor stock, broken down fences
and complains of bad seasons.
The former who is aouve his business
and en I nists it to another to
manage, soon has no business to
attend to.
