Next Tuesday the people of Sont li Carolina will ho called upon lo choose their Governor for the next two years. There aro bul two men i11 thc ia o between whom wo are to ?Xi r Iso a choice. ?Tho matter of cneasun - is not so much a question for consideration now as the* matter ol men. Mr. Featherstone represents tho polies of stall- wide prohibition; A.'J'. Blouse represents i ht? policy of local option, lt is not material whe ther we have a prohibition Governor or a local option Governor. That matter rests with the Legislature. Rut i hero ls a quesl lon a vital question Involved, and thal is the /question of purpose, sincerity, con ow\\rp\\( . ...I hk<h standard of citl C/enship. On these scores wo can hm ??.i,, thal we1 lind no room for hesita tion bet ween thc two men. Mr. Foa Mi. .stol io, as wo sec it, stands head (iud shoulders above hi< opponent, .md we believe thal those citizens who will stop and think and con fider flu matter calmly and dispas-1 n: o aa I el >. taking Into consideration! .' he bes) Interests of tho state at I Zarge, will agree with us anti cast their ballots next Tuesday for Mr. I?ea t hei (ono, lt is a pertinent fact that we have jo. I ch .ted lo the o'tll o of Attorney | (?Oil ora I a mau who has done good, Work in the interest o; the Stale hi j prosecuting the grafters in Hint coiv ..'um and corrupting ins: it ut ion. tho Rinti dispensary. His work is by j rio means completed, and ho a.ls kin 'nota! bucking of Ihe whole Slate KO verb ment, from the highes) to the lowest official con neel d therewith. I Wo ha\< endorsed his work, and wo hav? no righi lo throw a stumbling bloc); in his way. Mr. Featherstone Sins stood constantly and consistent ly on Ibo prohibition platform and .ve ? ed to tho State dispensary, Its Krafting administrators and its vari ons an.! vari.,! mod'- and means ?o' corruption. Al tho same Hmo Mr. Ulease stood .-ide by side willi the defenders ol tho mailers, and the system. Ile fought their battles and rVCliv?d their fees. We have no charge of corruption in that to make ?..si M r. Moase. I le is a lawyer. nnd be lui a righi lo defend whom lie pleases, and whatever fees he yuny get are Iiis by righi of service performed, Rut Iiis hand.- are Hod flo far as Ibo ellice of Governor ls concerned. Rj the rendering of his wer vices to Hie grafters h<- has placed tiiie-..|i in a position where, were he fo be elected Governor of this state, be would be handicapped from I ho beginning oil i" ibo rory end of bis nd ' ! n i-11 ai ion. "\'.? man eau serve two masters." Mr. Rleaso has too Mil j served ihe cause ol tho corrupt Btnte dispensary and those connected willi it^ corruption to i?e ot any ma terial service to I lie State. For those reasons and oilier- we hope to seo Mr. Featherstone chosen flovemoi next Tuesday i>> a hand Home majority. Oconee especially Fthould roll up for him an overwhelm ing voti <>ur conniy has I.II un qncstionablv prohibition In senti metil :.?r these many yours.

We have principle on the side bf OM?' county's past record, and weean hes! serve |hose principles, from Overs standpoint, by casting out voles for Featherstone. We nias not u e doubt loan will hoi this Mme have the pleasure of seeing Ht.ue-wide prohibition triumph, for the next Legislature will be opposed to Hint principle.

Wo appeal to every ve' to con fd dei' well the two mon III this race nail to cast their votes in accordance with the diet at OH of their conscience, j.enured by the bed interests of thc .homo and the Slate, ll titi., is dom we believe that Mr. Featherstone next Tuesday win be chosen as Gov ernor of South Carolina by such an overwhelming majority that no man eau question but that we as a State art? still alive to the interests of the Commonwealth, and that ber eit* i/.eus stand always ott tho side of right in all moral and important questions. Think well over l?tese thlngs AVhen you como to cast your ballot next Tuesday. Ila* Mr. Iliense turned loose ld- old associates of tito Slate dispensary with all Its corruption and debauchery? We nilghl ask further, would he, ii elected, Stand by the Stale, or would Ito stund by his old friends. lt is his boast that ho hover deserts his friends, und his friends have not !"?< ii the friends ol' the state in limes past, He has dropped thc old Stale dis pensary Issue and espoused the cause of local option, bul he onlj deserted his '?ld friend, the dispen sary, when it died, ile sticks to his friends. Consider now who aro and have hoon his friends, and cast your vote for the good of the stale. I HOM IMS OWN NOME. The following from tho Newberry Observer is very significant, and it seems to indicate from whence come the "llnances" of which wo have heard in various sections; "What would Jas. s. Ka rn um give to see ?ho old State dispensais' re stored? Ile is credited with having made many thousands out of it. lt ls certain he ploade i guilty to graft ing and paid a tine of $5,000, which vus laughed tit by his own friends as being ridiculously small for a man of his wealth, ile made hi^r money out of the dispensary And lhere are others. So there is no trouble to raise a large fund to de feat featherstone. "Hut. in spite of that und in spite ol' tho false and villainous reports brought against him ai Hie eleventh hour, wo believe featherstone will 1 1)0 eic. ted." And Newberry i.s Mr. Hlease's own town. The Observer ls one of Ibo staunches! and truest papers lu South Carolina, from the tenor ol' the above extract wo assume thal ? Mr. Hlease's neighbor, Mdlior W. II. I Wallace, knows whereof ho speaks, j and it is evident lim! lie prefers Mr. featherstone lather than Mr. Idease. And we ?na ra n lee tho estimate' placed l>> W. 11. Wallace upon any ' man he knows, Ile certainly knows: Mr, Olease, his townsman jind bis' Mayor, and there ls no question that ? ho will casi his ballot for the man whom In knows best lilted to lill the olllee ol' Go croitr of South Carolina. W. ll. Wallace, of Newberry, wo (lo liol hesitate to say. will vote for C. C. featherstone. THK II.KCTION HHTl'HNS.
