What Ho Proposes to !Uo ir Ilo ls Elected Governor. Columbia, September 2.?Mv. O. C. Featherstono, t|io candidato for Govern nor, who will bo in tbo soooud raoo with Uovornor Ellorbo, is in tbo oity to-night. Ilo was soon to-night and talkod as fol lows: "How havo you stood tbo campaign?" "Komarkably woll. J haven't loat a ?ound of llosh, and am fooling aa woll as ovor did." "What do you think of your ohanooe. and what will bo tho rosult iu tho aocoud race?" "Woll/ you know, I am not tho man to honet, a? I auppoBo you havo dieoovorod from tho campaign |I niado, but I will say thai, my ohnnaoB havo boon growing brighter and brighter for tbo Instmoath. 1 wna auro that 1 would bo in tho socond race. I havo mado an honoet. clean cam paign, havo mado friends all over tho Stato, and if my frionds do thoir duty I will bo tbo noxt Govornor of South Carolina. Pooplo all ovor tho Stato havo beoomo disgusted with tbo diaponaary and tbo man ner in which it baa been usod to fur ther tho intorosts o5 eortain parties. Dur ing tho campaigu whiskoy was ahippod into tboJStato by houses from which tho (liBpeneary buya liquor, an ' it was usod in tho iutoroat of certain disponsary oan didatos. Iu nddition to this, many aro disgusted with tho innuuor iu which tho disponsary lina boou run. Uoor dispon aar?es, botol prlvilogos. oto., in various parts of tho Stato havo boon run with tho view of selling as much whiskey as possi ble. Defaulting diapouaurs havo not boon handled as thoy should havo boon. Whiskoy constables havo gono boyoud their duties, and whon thoy woro oou vioiod in tho Courts thoy havo boon par doned and allowed to go soot froo." "By tho way, what do you think of tho disponsary law anyhow? "Woll, aa you know, 1 am a Prohibi tionist from principio. To start with, tho dispensary law is wrong in principle, and ought uovor to havo boon onaotod. Hut I am opposed to it mainly on tho ground tha* it ?olla whiskoy to tho pooplo as a bovorngo and dobauchos our citi zen?." "Somo of tho pooplo would liko to know what good it would do tooloot you Uovornor with a disponsary Legislature Would you mind giving your views along this lino ?" "No, sir, not in tho loast. To start with, it is by no moans oortahi that tho noxt Legislature will bo in sympathy with tho dispensary law. Thoro will ho in tho noxt General Assembly a largo number of aimon-puro Prohibitionists. Also a largo number not Prohibitionists, who aro opposed to tho disponsary law, and it is by no moans certain what will ho the result. You will recollect that tho last Gouoral Assembly caino vory near passing tho Childs bill, and I boliovo that if Mr. Childs'a health had permitted hir.i to bo prosont and push his bill, as ho would bevo dono but for bis ill health, tho bill would havo bocomo a law. But in caso I should bo oloetod Gov ernor, and tho Gonornl Assembly should seo fit to let tho disponsary system stand, it would not only uo my duty, but my pleasure, to enforeo tho disponsary law and all other laws to tho host of my ability. Tho law has some good foa turos, and with an honest, cloan enforce ment, it can bo mado to do much bettor sorvico than it has dono in tho past. I do not moan to bo understood as charg ing that tho ontiro forco of disponsary officials aro rottoti and corrupt, for I know that thoro arc somo good mon amongst thorn, who aro socking to do thoir full duty, but it cannot uo doniod by tho most ardont advocates of tho law that thoro has boon a largo por cont o? corruption and rottenness, it will also not bo denied that tho law is capable of gr?at improvement along the lino of onforoomoiiu, and to accomplish this a better class of mon will havo to bo put in chargo of a great many of tho offices. "It has boon charged that tho Prohibi tionists aro not in favor of onforeing tho disponsary law. Such is .jot tho fact. So long as it romains a law, as law-abid ing citizens thoy aro in favor of its on forcomont. Thoy would liko to soo it on forced by mon all ovor tho State who will make its managoniont cloan and honest, who will not uso it as a political machino and to further thoir own privato cuds, but who will mauago it in such a way as to soil as littlo whiskoy as possi ble Such a state of affairs 1 will earn estly try to bring about in caso I am olectcd." "What aro your viows on tho educa tional question?" "1 am glad you asked that question. While on the stump my timo was so lim ited that 1 could not discuss this ques tion as I might havo dono. To start with, I am in favor of building up and improving in ovory way possiblo tho common schools. This must bo done boforo tho colleges c?mi llourish as thoy ought. Every boy or girl in South Caro lina ought to ho given a good common school education. Whon this is dono, with the high schools and academies scattered ovor the State, it will ho no trouble for tho hoys and girls to ho pre pared for college, and tho result will bo the building up and ?lou? ?ahmg of all our colleges. 1 do not boliovo that any of them ought to bo torn down or allowed to starve and languish for want of sun port. "It may ho, and doubtless is, trito, that thoro have been tunny, or at least somo, extravagance in tho management of our institutions. All this can and will bo corrected in timo. it must bo douo. ft is impossible to keep down extravagance in connection with such largo institutions as Clomeon and Winthrop. Especially is this true while they are in thoir infancy and before tboy beoomo thoroughly or ganized, lint all of this will bo ovor como. I would not say aught against Collisoli, but I would say a word in praise of Winthrop. In my judgment there is no better or grandor institution in tho South than Winthrop, and 1 know whereof I spoak, for 1 have boon thoro. Wo cannot afford to lot t ho old South Ca rolina College languish and starve. In stoad of this tho standard ought to bo raised, so that sho will not compote with our denominational colleges, and sho ouglit, to bo put upon a firmer and bettor basis. Tho same tiling ought to ho dono iu roforonco to tho Citadel, This old institution has dono groat work for tho State, and .'d.'o will continuo todo so in the futuro if she Is not hainporcd by want of funds. "One thing I would emphasize and then I am through talking. What wo want, and what we must havo in South Carolina, is economy in the maiingomont of all our Stato affairs. Not stinginoBS or ponuriousnoBB. for economy docs not mean that, but thoro aro extravagancia which can and must bo stopped. Wl at wo need is tho samo amount of onr rgy and economy in tho conduct of tho State's affairs that is exeroisod by tho ordinary man in tho management of his own affairs. With such a stato of things' in oxistenco taxes can bo loworcd to a certain extent, reforms, truo reforms, can be instituted and old South Carolina will be ono of tho most prosperous States in the Union." Governor Mllcrbo Wants Proof. Coi.umiiia, Soptombor 4.?Thoro has been much comment upon the interview with Mr, Foathorstono relative to his viows upon the dispensary and higher education. Differing opinions nro held as to its effects, according to the way tho talker icols. Govornor Ellorbo to-day was naked what he had to say about Clio intervie . and said: "I think thogennr.il olmrgo that whis key has been brought into tho Stato to ' further the Intorost of cortnin candidatos is an insinuation that it is au offert to further my interests iu that way. This is unworthy of Mr. Featberatono. Mr. Foathorstono surely would nothavo mado such a statemont without proof to nub- ? stantiato It. ! think that it is duo nio that Mr. Foathorstono mako specillo charges. Tf thoro hns boon any wiiiskoy shipped into the State, as allogod, it was entirely without my kuowledgo or con sent, and I would like for Mr. Foathor stono to alato to tho public whon this liquor was shipped in to tho Stato and by whom." Govornor Ellorbo did not care to say anything olse, oxcopt that ho was vory much encouraged ovor tho outlook, Featherstono lilts Hard. Coi.umiiia, Soptombor 5.?Candidato Foalheistono has givon out the following statomont: In my lntorvlow which oamo im? mi?t out a the dally papers last SunrVy ui&& ?u? Cufti'gO thfci vVillbkoy won shippod to coitala pointe lu tho Stato during tho oampolgu by houses from wbloh thy diepon^ry buys Mqao*. ?t? yesterday's papers Governor Ellorbo calls on mo to specify. It taust bo borne in mind that I modo no obargo ogatnet any particular candidates as candidates. I wn* disoupsiug tho disponsary system, aud uudortoktng to show how it had boon, and always would bo, used as a political maobtno. As proof of this I nimio tho charge in my spoooh at AikoB, August 22, in tho prosonoo of Governor Ellorbo nnd tho other oandldates. At that timo tbo ohargo was not douiod, uqr tho proof domandod. But now tho Oovr oruor wants mo to specify, wbloh 1 will prooood to do. t First A box ?fif whiskey (samples) was ehlppod to Laurons, S. 0., by oxpross on August 4, 1808, On tho day of tho cam paign mooting it was usod, and handod out to suoh parties as woro thirsty, and who belonged to tbo faithful. It came from a houso In Philadelphia, from whiob tho dieponsary buys liquor, and tbo box woighed foi'ty-flvo pounds. Anotbor box weighing sixty pounds was also rooolvod from tho samo aourco, but was shippod to a di lieront party. It Is not nooossary at this timo that I should givo tho names of tho partlos to whom it was shipped, for I havo no dosiro to injure tho parties in tho loast. Socond. At Spartanburg, on tbo day of tho campaign mooting at that place, I discovorod that a quantity of tbo stuff was on hand nud being usod. I was roliably informod that It had boon shipped there a fow days beforo to tbo repio scntatlvos of oortalu whiskey bouses, who either had sold, or hoped to soil, their wares to tbo disponsary. By whom It was shippod I know not. That it was ehlppod there and usod, as above stated, is absolutely cortnln. Third. A goodly supply was on hand tho day of the campaign mooting at An dorseu and ueod f rooly. Whoro It oamo from 1 am not proparodto say, but it could 1 idly havo como from tbo local dispon sary, for it was gonorally understood that it was oloBod. I havo spechi 3d timo aud placo. groat many of tho candidates know that what I say is truo. How tho whiskoy could havo boon thus shippod lu opon violation of tho disponsary law, without eomobody boing arrested p.ud punished, can bo vory roauily surmised. That such opon and flagrant violations of tho law havo boon indulged in frequently no sano man can doubt. It is the system and tho manner in which It is enforced that I am aftor, not tbo mon. By tho way, it has boon industriously c.rculatod by some personal onomios of mino and f rfends of the disponsary that 1 havo had whiskoy shippod to mo at dif ferent times, and havo froquontly boon on sprees myself. At a mooting at Lau rons I donouncod such reports as false, and my enemies dared not try to furnish tho proof. 1 did stato at that mooting that on one occasion, sorao timo last fall, 1 ordered for medicinal purposes a bottlo of blackberry brandy and a bottle of rye whiskoy. ? woro turned ovor to my wifo, and some of tho contents havo boon used as medicine. I also stated that on sovoral occasions last year I bought w his koy at tbo dispensary for my wifo's grar lfatbor, Dr. Win. Dorsh, who was an agod man, and sick for many monthe boforo bo died. If euch conduct on my part is a crimo I stand guilty. 1 furtbor stated, and stato now, that I havo not for yoars touched whiskoy as a bovorago, nor havo I ovor boon on epreos, and any chargo to that offoot is absolutely falso, as can bo testified to by tho host pooplo of Laurone. Suoh falBO ohargos show how desperate somo of tho disponsary pooplo aro, and to what dirty things thoy will resort to carry their point. I regret that it has boon necessary for mo again mako this statomont. Vory truly, C.
