four who are makingtlic running at
this time, Col. Richardson has proba

of the Charleston votes will probably
go to him. Then he has. the Claren
don vote and, we believe, counts on
Richland and Abbeville. Berkeley
also will probably support Richard
son, and Colleton can safely be added
to his column.
Governor Sheppard has the hearty
endorsement of his own strong coun
ty and will have a good many scatrer-

This, tod, will Work ip faVo'r of Ex-
Chancellor Johnson who commands
universal respect.
As we said in the beginning, it is
anybody’s race as yet, and we confess
that we should like to know what are
the opinions of Col. Richardson, Col.
Coker and Ex-Chancellor Johnson on
various public questions. We should
like to know whether Governor Shep
pard’s views are correctly given in the
letter published last Tuesday. No
leaps ii. the dark. It will interest the
public to know what every candidate
for the high ofilce of Governor thinks
about 5 public education, including the
South Carolina College, the State
Military Academy, the College of
Farming, and the public schools gen
erally; the assessment and taxation
of property; the public debt; the judi
cial system, including the trial jus
tice business; the county government
and the defects in the present organic
law of the State. Besides this, it
should be kno\vn what are the convic
tions of the candidates for Governor
on sucli national questions as tariff
revision, civil service reform, the cur
rency, national aid to education and
the like.
There is no difficulty in finding a
way to let in the light. We take itfor
granted that the candidates who have
been named have opinions of llrgir
own which they are not afraid to^x^
f iress. The people would like to know,
•ofore the candidate of the party is
chosen, what the opinions of the can-
dldates are. ! ' *' :-
Mr. Joseph Willing, of McTler. in
forms us that the protracted meeting
at Kedron closed on Sunday last after
a session of nine days. Great inter
est was manifested and neveral were
added to the church. The Rev. A.
W. Moseley assisted by Rev. Brigman
and Waits conducted the meeting.

school and are about to build a new

When Dr. R. M. Smith announced in
the Convention Monday that, in his
opinion, Sherman did not do his work
well in Columbia in 1865, or he Woefld
have burned the South Carolina Col
lege, not one of the delegates arose
and repudiated that radical utterance.
It should hav<* been rebuked on the
floor. Such is not the sentiment
