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

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.

Notes and Comments.
Gathered for the Information of the
Dispatch Readers.
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.

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.

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

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. Get Green's Special Almanac.

Ethel used to play agooddealin the
school. One day she had been very
quiet. She sat up prim and behaved
herself so nicely that, after the school
was over, the teacher remarked:
"Ethel, my dear, you were a very
good girl today.'
"Yes'm. I couldn't help being
dood. I dot a stiff neck."
