What He Proposes to Do ii He is Elected GoTernor. COLUMBIA,- September 2.-Mr. C. C. Featherstone, the candidate for Gov ernor, who will be in thc second race with Governor Ellerbe, is in the city to-night. He was seen to-night and talked as follows : "How have you stood the cam paign ?" ".Remarkably well. I haven't lost a pound of flesh, aud am feeling as well as I ever did." "What do you think of your chances, and what will be the result in the second race ?" - "Well, you know, I am not the mun to boast, as I suppose you have dis covered from the campaign I made, but I will say that my chances have been growing brighter and brighter for the last month. I was sure that I would be in the second race. I have made an honest, clean campaign, have made friends all over the State, and if my friends do their duty I will be the nextr^Groveruor of South Carolina. People all over the State have become lisgusted with the dispensary and the manner in which it has been used to further the interests of certain parties. During thc campaign whiskey was shipped into the State by houses from which the dispensary buys liquor, and it was used in the interest of certain lispensary candidates. In addition Lo this, many are disgusted with the manner in which the dispensary has been run. Beer dispensaries, hotel privileges, etc., in various parts of the Stace have been run with the view of selling as much whiskey as possible. Defaulting dispensers have not been handled as they should have been. Whiskey constables have gone beyond their duties, and when they were con victed in the Courts they have been pardoned and allowed to go scot free." "By the way, what do you think of the dispensary law, anyhow ?" "Well, as yon know, I am a Prohi bitionist from principle. To start with, the dispensary law is wrung in principle, and ought never to have been enacted. But I am opposed to it mainly on the ground that it sells whiskey to the people as a beverage and debauches our citizens." "Some of the people would like to know what good it would do to elect you Governor with a dispensary Leg islature. Would you mind giving your views along this line ?" "No, sir, not in the least. To start with it is by no means certain that the next Legislature will be in sympa thy with thc dispensary law. There will be in the next General Assembly a large number of simon-pure Prohi bitionist. Also a large number not Prohibitionists, who are opposed to the dispensary law, and it is by no means certain what will be the result. You will recollect that thc last Gene ral Assembly came very near passing thc Childs bill, and I believe that if Mr. Child's health had permitted him to be present and push his bill, as he would have done but for his ill health, the bill would have become a law. But in case ? should be elected Gov- I ernor and the General Assembly should see fit to let the dispensary system stand, it would not only be my duty, but my pleasure to enforce the dispensary law and all other laws to the best of my ability. The law has some good features, and with an honest, clean enforcement, it can be made to do much better service than it has done in the past. I do not mean to be understood as charging that the entire dispensary officials are rotten and corrupt, for I know that there arc some good men amongst them, who arc seeking to do their full duty, but it cannot be denied by the most ardent advocates of the law that there has been a large per cent of cor ruplion and rottenness. It will also not be denied that the law is capable of great improvement along the line of enforcement, and to accomplish this a better class of men will have to be put in charge of a great many of the offices. "It has been charged that the Pro hibitionists are not in favor of en forcing the dispensary law. Such is not the fact. So long as it remains a law, as law-abidiug citizens they are in favor of its enforcement. They would like to see it enforced by men all over the State who will make its management clean and honest, who will not usc it as a political machine and to further their own private ends, but who will manage it in such a way as to sell as little whiskey as possible. Such a state of affairs.I will earnestly try to bring about in qase I am elec ted." "What are your viev s on the edu cational question." "I am glad you asked that question, While on the stump my time was so limited that I could not discuss this question as I might have done. To start with I am in favor of building up and improving in every way pos sible the common schools. This must be done before the colleges can flour ish as they ought. Every boy or girl in South Carolina ought to be given a good common school education. When this is done, with the high schools and academies scattered over the State, it will be no trouble for the boys and girls to be prepared for college, and the result will be tfic building up and flourishing of all our colleges. As to our State colleges, I do not believe that any of them ought to be torn down or allowed to starve and languish for want of support. "It may be, and doubtless is, true that there have been many, or at least some, extravagances in the manage- ; ment of our institutions. All this ? can and will be corrected in time. Jt must be done. It is impossible to ? keep down extravagance in connection < ... t with such large institutions as Clem- | SOD and Winthrop. Especially is this true while they are in their infancy and before they become thoroughly organized. But all of this will be overcome. I would not say aught against Clemson, but I would saya word in praise of Winthrop. In my judgment there is no better or grander institution in the South than Win throp, and I know whereof I speak, for I have been there. We cannot afford to let the old South Carolina College languish and starve. Instead of this the standard ought to be raised, so that she will not compete with our denominational colleges, and she ought to be put upon a firmer and bet ter basis. The same thing ought to be done in reference to the Citadel. This old institution has done great work for the State, and she will con tinue to do so in the future if she is not hampered by waut of funds. "One thing I would emphasize and then I am through talking. What we want, and what we must have id South Carolina, is economy in the manage ment of all our State affairs. No stinginess of penuriousness for econo my does not mean that, bu' there are 2xtravagancies which can aud must be stopped. What we need is the same imount of energy and economy in the 3onduct of the State's affairs that is sxercised by the ordinary man in the management of his own affairs. With Ach a state of things in existence taxes can be lowered to a certain ex Lent, reforms, true reforms, can be in stituted and old South Carolina will je one of the most prosperous States n the Union."

BY AN EX-DEFEATED CANDIDATE. [ With apologies to Gent Hammond.] MR. EDITOR : Mr. Jonathan Hayseed was a well-to-do farmer who lived at home, and was content to pursue the noiseless tenor of his way, suiTounded by his happy family. When he came to town, his trade was largely sought after, (as is that of every other man's,) and the mean, petty methods employ ed by unprincipled tradesmen 1:? secure his trade by appealing to his vanity overcome by might the upright means of the less smart. Mr. Hayseed, it was noticed by these sharks, was a well-fed man, consequently corpulent, kept his beard trimmed and combed, wore his hair long, talked coarse and looked wise. These being the principal re quirements for a man filling a public trust, according to an ancient though not altogether extinct idea, he "was urged to run for an important office. The suggestion, wliile quite flattering, almost stunned him, for he said : "No, no, I couldn't afford to stop my busi ness for any office now. I'm too busy. I appreciate your suggestion, but (ha, ha,) really I don't think I-(ah)-could afford it." "But," urged the tempter, "you must remember you are a citizen and must obey the people's call; you must be patriotic enough to make some sacrifices for your country; besides, dont let the offices go to such fellows as Hoppergrass, who are too lazy to make a living at anything else." This clinched the bargain. He spit and looked at the floor right hard and then spit again : "Oh, I wouldn't mind tak ing it so much, but it don't exactly suit me right now," squinted his eyes, sat on the small of his back and looked way off. The tempter pursued his game knowing he had him checkma ted. "If the people .call you out you won't refuse, will you P "No," he re plied, looking very serious, but laugh ing plum down in his stomach. *T couldn't refuse if they want me, but Fd heap rather not (ha-ha-a-a.") Hayseed 8tarts home, speaks to everybody, and like the new-made groom, thinks everybody loves bim and he loves everybody. Even his'old mare feels the change that has come over the spirit of his dreams. That night, after supper, he calls his wife tenderly and says: "Molly, I guess you'd better begin to pack up and let's move to town. I'm going to run for-. They've been after me so much about it, I don't see how I can get out of it." "Who's been after you, Jonathan?" "Aw, I don't know, several." "Well, I j ust can't do it. I don't want to move to town ; we're fixed up.here now and we'd better stay." But the next day she tells him she's studied it over and is willing to move to town. That much is settled. Mr. Hayseed blossoms out into a Sunday School lecturer and sings very loud in the choir. He loves to go to Church and will ride a long ways, nearly to the neighboring County, to hear a good sermon or any other kind, and when the contribution box comes round he slips (?) a dollar in and looks pious. The day after the election he comes to town to hear how the other fellows come out. In counting the votes, his name seems to him as silent as the letter "g" in the word "gnat," and he gets disgusted with the whole proceed ing, hitches up Iiis mare, lights his last cigar and says, "Whoa, darn you, can't ' you stand still P On the way home he actually thinks, and thinks out loud, "D-n it to h-L I don't give a d-n. I'm d-n glad of it. I didn't want ir, anyhow." Come up here, d-n you." On the piazza, Iiis wife waits for him to get in hailing distance from over the long roeky hill leading down to thc house." (Silence) "What's the news from thc election?" Whoa, hold up your head." "What's the news from the election, I say?" "Whoa, you old fool, can't you hold up your head, act just like you ain't had nothin' to eat in a month," all this while jerking at tho bit and kicking so as to drown the per sistent inquirer's voice. This time sh? was by his side and asked : "Well, Jonathan, how's the election ?" "Aw, I don't know. Snooks is first, Snyder second, and leoine in there somewhere, but that don't make any difference; I can't take it. nohow.

Recruits Wanted for the Army. * WASHINGTON, Sept. 1-The war de partment has decided to establish a recruiting station for the regular army at every camp where volunteer regi ments are to be mustered out. This ac tion will be taken with the view of re cruiting regulars up to the maximum strength allowed by law and to give the volunteers who may wish to con tinue in the service the preference in recruiting. It is estimated by the war department authorities tnat about 4, 000 or 5.000 men will be required to fill u p the regular regiments, that num ber of vacancies being likely to exist in the nearjfuture on account of deaths, disabilities, and the withdrawal of men under the privilege allowing new reg ular recruits to leave the service at the end of the war. The. army adminis tration appreciates the superior value of men possessed of military training, and desires to give distinct preference to veteran volunteer soldiers of the war in filling up the regiments of the regular army.-Neio York Sun.
