Govornor Ellorbo's mossogo was sub mltted to the Geuoral Assembly Tuesday aftornoon, Boon aftor tho Sonato and House had organized. It is a brief docu ment, as compared with' former mossagos of lato yoars, and this ia ono redcoming feature. Many of his ideas, suggestions and vooouimoudatious aro timoly and proper. The dispensary, however, is again given a prominent place in tho pie ture, and is evldontly still bis "pot" moasuro. Briefly epitomized, tho moa sago contains a roviow of tho finances of tho S*ato, wbioh "aro still in an unsatis factory condition," and contains many suggestions for tho consideration of tho law-makors, touching tho ponai, charl t ablo and educational institutions of tho State, tho "order and duration of Courts," tho suppression of lynch law, tho prosor vatlon of tho Confodorato records, tho regulation of tho pondon systom, tho holding of bi-onnial sessions of tho Log iBlaturo, tho care of tho nubile health and tho administration of tho dispensary law. lie urges bi-onnial sossions of tho Leg islature; that tho history of South Caro lina's part in tho Civil war bo written to accompany tho Confodorato rolls, which havo bcon complotod; that lynching should bo suppressed, and tho counties required to pay $5,000 for ovory victim slain by a mob; that all moneys paid to Stato colleges bo directly appropriated by tho Legislature; that tho appropria tion for Confederate pousionors bo re duced one-half and tho list ho purged of all unworthy beneficiaries; that a re formatory Tor youthful criminals ht established; that a liberal appropriation bo made for tho State Hoard of Health. ? All the foregoing suggestions aro on tho light line, except it ho the reduction of one-half of tho amount heretofore given to tho support of maimed Confede rate soldiers, and his suggestion to make counties pay $5,000 to tho family of a victim lynched hy a mob. Wo aro op posed to lynch law in principle, but see no senso or reason for making rich tho family of a villain who ravishes a white woman, because ho happen.-; to bo over taken by tho swift vengeance of the mob. Tho method is a cheap form of demagog ory, and will never go down with our people ' . The dispensary is still tho bono of con toution. Qovornor Ellorho suggests tho question of dispensary or prohibition may ho submitted to tho votors of each county in tho Stato, as a local option moasuro, but ho has imposed so many conditions and burdons on any county voting for prohibition ns to render pro hibition impossible in short, ho makes a strong argument for tho dispensary, and agahiBt prohibition, whilo ho attempts to peso as a local optionist. But tho sub terfuge ?B too patent lo fool any ono. Mr. N. G. Gonzalos, in a lengthy edito rial ovor bia own signaturo in tho Stato, of tho 11th instant, gives tiov. Ellorho a torriblo excoriation for duplicity in bis campaign pledges. It will ho recalled that just before tho second Domocratio primary in Soptombcr, tho Stato advo cated tho renomination of (Jov. Ellorbo. Thoso who thought with tho Stato woro surprised at its course, and called on it for an explanation. This tho Stato declined to givo at tho timo, but promised a futuro explanation, lt now appears that tho Stato has hoon buncoed, and Editor Gonzalos publishes in full tho intorviow, and,also gives tho written pledgo of Gov. Ellorbe, signed on Sep tember 8th, 1808. Upon agrcomont of tho partlos tho lottor was addressed to Mr. Frank H. Weston, of Columbia, and ls as follows: Stato of South Carolina, Exccutivo Chamber. COLUMBIA, S. C., Sopt. 8, 1808. (Confidential.) Di: A I ; FltANK : In reply to your inquiry, will Bay, I fully concur in your viow as to tho best solution of tho liquor question. Aftor mingling with tho pooplo for tinco months, KP? thorough consideration, I havo ujnv _o tho conclusion that tho dis pensary Aot should ho amended so as to allow each county to sottlo tho liquor question for itsolf, and havo determined to make such recommendation to tho Qonoral Assembly. Your friond, W. II. BLI.EBBK. To Mr. F. H. Weston. It was well-known that Mr. Weston agreed with Mr. Gonzales and was an advocato of local option for choice by tho counties botweon high license, pro hibition and dispensary. At tho timo this pledgo was given tho contost bo tweon Ellorho and Featherstone was clono, and lt looked like Featherstone would ho elected. In this extremity Gov. Ellorho, through his friends, sought tho support of tho ?Stato, and it is proba ble that by this courso onough votors woro Inlluonced to secure tho renomina tion of Gov. Ellorbo. At chango of 2,000 votos would havo elected Mr. Featherstone UnloBB Govornor Ellorho can refute thoso charges, ho has paid a high pneo for his victory at tho polls. Tho resort to such nubtlo subterfuges will ovontuate in tho downfall of any man, and it will work his undoing Tins furnishes ono moro striking ox amplo of tho corrupting Inlluoncos of tho State's rum business on politics Soveral conspicuous victims have hereto fore fallen hy tho way, and many more aro sure to follow, until the State admin istration washes its hands of this nefa rious business. lt in a pity that no many Otherwise good men aro entrapped. If Gov. Rllcrbo should he Inconsistent and insincere in his recommendations oi tho liquor question, then a suspicion munt attach to all the other laudahlo policies advocated in his message. Fu ture developments aro awaited with interest. Oe?. Wheeler Loses Seat lu Congress.

During tho year 1897 a convention of tho cotton producers of tho South was held for tho purposo cf discussing the prico of tho staplo and dovioing moans for raising thc prico to somotbing liko tho cost of production. A resolution was adopted favoring reduction of acre age ns tho solution. Tho plan was wldoly published and discussed iu tho papers.

Moro cotton was mado last year than over beforo in tho history of tho world, and tho prico ran tho lowest.

Tho roll of counties was oallod and the members presented thomsolvoB with their credentials aud tho constitutional oath waa.administered. A quorum was fe und to be present and tho Uouso was announood ready to proceed to organiza tion. Tho Hon. Frank B. Gary, of Abbeville, waa ro-olootod Speaker without opposi tion. Thoro waa a protracted oontost for tho position of Olovk of tho Houso, result ing in tho triumph of Mr, T. 0. Hamer, of Marlboro county, ovor Mr. Gray, of Greenville, the former Clork, and Mr. It, M.
