What He Propases to Do if He to Elected Governor. COLUMBIAv September 2.-Mr. C. C. Featherstone, the candidate for Gov ernor, who will be in the second race with, Gqvernor Eiicrbo, 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 ponnd of flesh, aud am feeling as well AB I ever did." "What do you think pf your chances, and what will be the result i n the seoond race ?" - "Well, you know, I am not the man 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, olean campaign, have made friends all over the State, and if my friends do their duty I will be the next Governor of South Carolina.' People all over the State have become disgusted with the dispensary and the manner in which it has been used to further the interests of certain parties. During the campaign whiskey was shipped into the State by houses from which the dispensary buya liquor, and it was used in the interest of oertain dispensary candidates. In addition to this, many are disgusted with the manner in which the. dispensary has been . run. Beer dispensaries, hotel privileges, etc., in various parts of .the State 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." : I "By the way, what do yon think of the dispensary law, anyhow ?" "Well, as yon know, I am a Prohi bitionist from principle. To start with, the dispensary law is wrong in principle, and ought never to have been enaeted. But I am opposed to it mainly ou 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 ia sympa thy with the dispensary law. There will be in the next General Assembly a large number of simon-pure Prohi bitionist. Also a large number not Prohibitionist?, who are opposed to the dispensary law, and it is by no means certain what will be thc result. Von will recollect that the 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 posh his bill, as he would have dono but for his ill health, the bill would have become a law. But in ease I shonld be eleoted Gov 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 enfo.ee 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 sorvioe 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 are some good men amongst thom, who are 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 ruption and rottenness. It will ?Iso not be denied that the law is capable of great improvement along the line of \ enforcement, and to accomplish this a better olass 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 ts not the fact. So long as it remains a law, as law-abiding citizens they aro in favor of its enforcement. They would like to see it enforced by men all over the State who will make its management clean nod honest, who will not use 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. Snob a state of affairs J 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 disouss this question as I might have done. To start with l 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 thc 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 onr institutions. All this can and will be corrected in time. J t must be done. It is impossible to keep down extravagance in connection wita snob large institutions as Clem son and Winthrop. Especially is this true while they are in their infanoy and before they become thoroughly organized. But all of this will be '.verceme. 1 would not say aught against Clemson, but I would say a word in praise of Winthrop. In my judgment there is no better or grander : institution in the South tban Win throp, und I know whereof I ?peak, for I have been there. We cannot afford to let thc old South Carolina College languish and starve. Instead of this thc standard ought to bc raised, so that she will not compete with our denominational colleges, and she ou^ht to bo pat upon a Grn.er and bet ter basis. The same thing ought to bc done in reference to the Citadel. This old institution has done great work for the State, and sh^ will con tinue to do so in tho future if she is not hampered by waut of funds. "One thing I would emphasize and then I am through talking. What we want, und what we must have id South Carolina, ia economy in the manage ment of all our State affairs. No stinginess of penuriousness for econo my does not mean that, bu' there arc extravagancies which can and must bo stopped. What wo need is the same amount of energy and economy in the conduct of the State's affairs that is exercised by thc ordinary man in the management of his own affairs. With such a state of things in existence taxes can be lowered to a certain ex tent, reforms, true reforms, can bo in stituted and old South Carolina will be ono of the most prosperous States in the Union."

KIIITOK: Mr. Jonathan Hayseed WUK ?i well-to-do farmer who lived at. home, and was content to pursue tho noiseless tenor of his way, surrounded hy his happy family. When ho came to town, his trade was largely sought lifter, (as is that of every other man's,) and the moan, petty methods employ ed hy unprincipled tradesmen to secure his trade by appealing to his vanity overcome by might the upright means of the less smart. Mr. Hayseed, it was noticed hy these sharks, was a well-fed man, consequently corpulent, kept Ilia 1 heard trimmed and combed, worts him hair long, talked coarse and looked wise. These being the principal re quirements fora man tilling a public trust, according to an ancient though not altogether extinct idea. he was urged to run for an important ellice. The suggestion, while quito fluttering, almost stunned him, for lie said : "No. no.! couldn't alford to stop my busi ness for any ellice now. I'm too busy. I appreciate your suggestion, hut (ha, hu,) really I don't think I-(uh)-could alford it." "Hut," urged the tempter, "you must, remember you are a citizen and must obey the people's call ; you must lu; patriotic enough to make some sucrith-es for your country ; besides, dou'tlet the offices go to such fellows as lloppergrass, who are too lazy to make a living at anything else." This clinched the bargain. Ho spit and looked at the Hoer 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 tho small of his back and looked way off. The tempter pursued his game knowing he had him checkma ted. "If tho people call you out you won't refuse, will youT" "No," ho re plied, looking very serious, but laugh ing plum down in his stomach. "I couldn't ref uso if they want me, but I'd heap rather not (ha-hu-a-a.") Hayseed starts home, speaks to everybody, and like the ncw-mado groom, thinks everybody loves him and he loves everybody. Even his old mare feel? the change that has come over thc 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 nie so much about it, I don't, see how I can get out of it." "Who's been after you, Jonathan)" **Aw, 1 don't know, several." "Well, I just can't do it. I don't want to niove to town ; wo'ro fixed up.here now and we'd better stay." But the next day she tells him she's studied it over and is willing te move to town. Thut 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. Tho day after tho election he comes to town to hear how the other follows come out. In counting the votes, his name seems to him ns silent as the letter "g" in the word "gnat," and he gets disgusted with the whole proceed ing, hitches up his maro, lights his last cigar and says, "Whoo, darn you, can't yon stand still ?" On tho way home ho actually thinks, and thinks out loud, "D-n it to h-1, I don't give a d-n. I'm d-n glad of it. 1 didn't want it, anyhow." Como up here, d-n you." On tho piazza, his wife waits for him to get in hailing distance froiu over the long rocky hill leading down to tho house.'' (Silence) "What's the news front the election?" Whoa, hold iij your heatl.'- "What's tho liewa from th?! election, I say?" "Whoa, you old. fool, can't you hold up your head, act just like you ain't had nothin' to cat in a month," all this while jerking at the bit and kicking so as to drown the per sistent inquirer's voice This time sha was by his side and asked : "WeU, Joua (lian, how's the election ?" "Aw, I don't know. Snooks is first, Snyder second, and I romo in there somewhere, but that don't make any difference; I can't lake it, nohow. Wt? couldn't move, and it don't suit my business, PO I just como home and left it there with om." Anti then he took a big chew ol: tobacco anti didn't say anything till next week. EX-CANDIDATE. Beer ul ts Wonted for the Army. * WASHINGTON, Sept. 1-Tho 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 rc sruiting regulars up to the maximum strength allowed by law and to give the volunteers who may wish to con tinue in thc service the preference in recruiting. It is estimated by the war department authorities tnat about 4, )00 or 5,000 men will be required to ill up the regular regiments, that num ber of vacancies being likely to exist in the nearjfuture on account of deaths, Usabilities, and the withdrawal of men Hider the privilege allowing new reg llar recruits to leave the service at the md of the war. The. army adminis ration appreciates the superior value ?f men possessed of military training, ind desires to give distinct, preference o veteran volunteer soldiers of the rar in filling up the regiments of tho egular army.-Neio York ?fun.
