The Lexington Dispatch. Wednesday, September 24,1902. Oration to Heyward, When it became koown that Mr. Hey ward had certainly been nominated Governor of South Carolina the people of Walterboro, his home, gathered and gave him a grand ovation. Major M. P. Howell was elected a master of ceremonies and in a few introductory remarks presented Capt. D. C. Heyward. As Capt. Heyward advanced there was such an outburst of anDlause that he must have felt that the moment was the proudest of ins life. Gapt. Hejward addressed those before him as umy friends," which simple expression brought forth renewed applause. Cjpt. Hey ward alluded to the pride he felt in receiving in the first primary 96 per cent, and in the second 98 per cent, of the vote of his home county, and that he would cherish the endorsement of Colleton Sv* county as the most precious heritage for bis children and his children's children. This endorsement by the people who knew him beet was sufficient answer to the slanderous charges made against him in the second primary. Like a stone wall it stands m refutation of any slanders which had been used against him. He re- j - ? ? ?? . _ i_t j T I ierrea 10 me aisunguwueu uuuux ux beiog the chief magistrate of a State which we Soath Carolinians believe * to be the grandest State in the Union, the State of the Kutledges, the Middletons and of the Pinckneys, of Marion, and of Sumter, of Calhoun, McDuffie and of Hayne, of Barnard E? Bee, Mart Gary, the bald eagle of Edgefield, and of Wade Hampton, whose name will ever be a household word in South Carolina. He did not feel warranted at this time in outlining his political policies, these questions would be taken up at the proper time, and be treated soberly, and with due regard to the great issues involved, and with an eye single to the best interest of the State. I am - so pleased that the prejudice between town and country is passing away. The State can never be the great State which it was destined to be until the people of the cities and the people of the country work together in the uplifting and upbuilding of their State. Then and not until then wriU South Carolina prosper, prosper agriculturally and prosper industrially. Then will we see the mechanics and laborers, the manufacturers and merchants realise the great benefits of a united purpose and a common effort If I can aid the accomplishment of this great end then my election will not have failed in the purpose which I have destined for it I stand for the great common schools of our State. Our commonwealth does not undertake to clothe or feed the children of the State, bnt it does undertake to educate them. Hence the education of our children is a i fauction of the State government, and I believe it to be the duty of those who hold high office in South Carolina to be leaders in the great movement to better the educational facilities of the youth of the State. Standing as I do for the common schools, I am, never-the less, a believer, and a firm one, in higher education and proud of our educational institutions of higher learning, and shall advocate their liberal support by the State. I am in favor of liberal pensions for the needy old Confederate soldiers, and feel sure that the younger generation of my fellow South Carolinians will never be forgetful of the fact or allow one of those who fought nobly for his State in the times of her sorest need go down to his last resting place with ? 1 # .1 1!_1. oat mat care ana comiorc wmcn ms past services entitled him to receive at the hands of a patriotic people. 1 am opposed to trusts, to all those great illegal combinations of capital gotten up for the purpose of stifling competition, and when that is done <of forcing down the prices of all the people have to sell and of forcing up the prices of all they have to buy. I am mindful of the fact that the gov-. ernor's duty is not to make laws; it is his duty to enforce those Taws which he finds upon the statute books, and in my efforts to discharge my duty along this line I believe I will have the endorsement and support of the people of South Carolina. We are a law-abiding people, and whether a law is distasteful or not we believe that the law should be enforced UDtil repealed by those who made the laws, our legiBlatitive department, and so I repeat, my friends, that the laws which I find in operation will have my strongest effort in their proper enforcement. I believe in home rule. It is a principle which is dear to every true South Carolinian and to every true American citizen. While it shall be my purpose to recognize the recommendations of the several county rlalorrofJnnc in moftora nprtftinirsfy tn U^JlCgaViUUO AU U?MV%V* w O - ? the interest of their respective counties I give fair notice of my determination to examine into the character, reputation and fitness of those who are recommended to me for appointment, and if I find that the best interest of the common welfare will not be best served by making such an appointment I will not feel called upon to accede to the wishes of the delegation. It must be remembered that the responsibility for all appointments and acts rests finally upon the governor and delegations should, therefore be careful that their choice falls upon only such as can creditably reflect upon the one who makes the appointment. Elected as I have been by the people of the State, irrespective of sections and of factions, it shall be my constant aim and purpose to be the governor of the whole people, and I shall know no selfish interest, but endeavor to shape all my acts and efforts to the honor and credit, to the upbuilding and uplifting of our entire State. Unhampered by political pledges and without political enemies to punish, I will feel free to exert my abilities into chancels which will rev bound to the best welfare of all that pertains to the interest of the State. Entering upon my duties with such feeling, I shall endeavor to do full justice to all classes of our people, regardless of their race or condition, and in this particular shall accept as my guiding thought the last words of that peerless soldier and statesman, Wade Hampton, "God bless all my 1 . t_ 1 _ _t_ 3 L 1 _ M people, disck ana wnice. Capt, Heyward spoke at length of the effective support accorded him by the coble women of the State and paid a glowing tribute to their purity and the self-sacrificing service which they bad time and again rendered their beloved State. In closing he again referred to the appreciated support given him by the people of his ^county and for the many evidences of kindness which time and again they have beBtowed upon him "I will part with you temporarily in January next, if nothing unforeseen occurs," said Capt. Heyward, "and in so doing my last and fondest thought will be expressed in the words of that dear old hymn, 'God be with you till we meet again.'" Loud and deafening applaupe ensued as Capt. Heyward resumed bis seat and many bouquets were passed to the platform and were carefully handed to Mrs. Heyward, who occupied a seat among: the speakers. Throughout Capt. Heyward's address, which was eloquently delivered, the closest possible attention wss given to his every word and he was frequently interrupted by shouts ot applause, approval and continued applause. Many of his sentences were particularly well rounded aDd quotations were timely and to the point and gave a finish to the verj eloquent address which he delivered, Capt. Heyward fully sustained the , reputation which he has borne as one of the best public speakers in the State.

For assaulting Editor Blackburn sometime ago, Hub Evans, a members of the Board of State Dispensary Directors, was fined $5by a Greenville magistrate. * * * The inaugural address of Governorelect Heyward is looked forward to with absorbing interest. No State p&per since that of Governor Tillman will be more closely and atten tively read than will be that of Mr. Heyward'e. * * * There is a money famine in New York. 20 per cent, is asked for call loans. It is probable that the government will come to the relief of the greedy money leaders with the boodle to enable 'Lena to give the screws on the shackles of the poor unfortunate debtors another turn. * * * Lately we have often see the question asked, Is Tillmanism dead in this State? We answer emphatically in the negative. Nor will it be until long after the walls of Clemson and Winthrop lay crumbling in the dust. The result of the recent primary, wbich gave rise to tne query, was intended more as a rebuke to the attempt to stifle free thought and action of the individual rather than to sound the death knell of Tillmaniem. * * * R. M. Wallace, of Sumter, a prominent Republican, is dead. He was once the Republican nominee for Governor of the State and at the time of his"death he held the Federal appointment as Collector of the Port of Charleston. A' Ihough a Repulican in the blackest and most disgraceful days of the party, Mr. Wallace conducted himself in such a manner as to win the confidence and respect of the business men and the community in which he resided and .otained both until his death a few days ago. * * * There is a big fight going on in the Republican camp in this State. The warring elements are led on the once side by John G. Capers, white, a latter day convert to Bepulicanism, now United States District Attorney, who wants to kick the negro out, and on the other by Edmund H. Deas, a negro, a holder of a minor Federal position, sometimes called the Duke of Darlington, who wants to give the whites, who got into the band wagon for the spoils, the grand bounce. And thus the jig goes merrily on to the amusement of those on the outside of the inner circle, and the Republican party has to pay the fiddler. * * * The labor troubles in the coal fields have not yet ended and the end is very far from being in sight. Their continuance is giving the leaders of the g. o. p. much concern and considerable anxiety. They are fretting over . the grave situation like a hen mother over her wet ducklings and are i straining every nerve and exhausting i every resource to force the coal oper! ators to yield and make terms favor[ able to the striking miners. Soalarmi ing is the situation that President [ Roosevelt has spent a portion of his > summer vacation making political r speeches in those sections of the . country where the demand seemed i more urgent. j * * * There will be a general meeting of the county trustee stockholders of the Farmers' Alliance Exchange of South Carolina in the State house in ) Columbia on Wednesday, October jj 29th. The object of this meeting is ? to consider the Drooosition of dissolv ? 1 1 ? f ing the Exchange and other proposi. tions that might come before the 5 meeting. County trustee stockhold . ers failing to attend this meeting ( will forfeit their pay. Thus another . of the farmers' institutions has fall. ed by the wayside. It, like many [ other economic measures, has run its . course, fulfilled its mission and there i is now neither present nor future d8i mand for it, so it passes into history as one of the has beene. Deafness Cannot be Cured By looal applications, as they cannot reach the deceased portion of the ear. There is only one way to cure deafness, and that is by constitutional remedies. Deafness is caused by an inflamed condition of the mucous lining of the Eustachian Tube. When this tube gets inflamed you have a rumbling sound or imperfect hearing, and when it is entirely closed deafness is the result, and unless the inflammation can be taken out and this tube restored to its normal condition, hearing will be destoyed forever; nine cases out of ten are caused by catarrh, which is nothing but an inflamed condition of the mucous surfaces. We will give One Hundred Dollars for any case of Deafness (caused by catarrh) that can not be cured by Hall's Catarrh Cure. Send for circulars, free. F. J. Cheney & Co , - Toledo, 0.

The defeat of Congressman Talbert in his race for Governor is regretted a by large majority of the good people of the State, and especially those of his friends who were impelled from a sense of duty and loyalty to their convictions to vote against him sympatize with him. A good man, a patriotic citizen and I _i._l 1 1 an incorrupuDie siaiesman uaa oeeu overtaken by defeat, but he has grandly and nobly met it with fl.ficg colors aDd with a nobility of spirit that inspires the admiration and esteem of his fellow citizens of every shade of political belief. With many of us in the gubernatorial contest it was measures and not men, had it been otherwise the result would have undoubtedly been very different from what it is. * * * The nomination of Mr. Heyward, as Governor of South Carolina, marks the beginning of a new regime in politics in South Carolina. His success in the primary simply means the dawn of Progressive Democracy and its strength will hereafter exert a powerful influence in the development of the resources of the State in all her varied interests. His ad dress to the people of the State, issued over a year ago, in which he outlined the platform upon which he would make his canvass, was a thoughtful paper and bore all the evidences of careful preparation, and in it he unmistakably intimated his sympathy with and support of the policies and principles contended for by the advocates of Progressive Democrats, and from this and his brilliant victory we conclude that sentimental politics have been relegated to the shades of private life and practical politics will be the essential principle of the South Carolina Democracy. Women and Jewels. Jewels, candy, flowers, man?that is the order of a woman's preferences. Jewels form a magnet of mighty power to the average woman. Even that greatest of all jewels, health, is often ruined in the strenuous efforts to make or save the money to purchase them. If a woman will risk her health to get a coveted gem, then let her fortify herself against the inBiduous consequences of coughs, colds and bronchial affections by the regular use of Dr. Boschee's German Syrup. It will promptly arrest consumption in its early stages and heal the affected lungs and bronchial tube9 and drive the dread disease from the system. It is not a cure-all, but it is a certain cure for coughs, colds and all bronchial troubles. You can get thi3 reliable remedy at Kaufmann's drug store.
