A.11 Ex-Governor and Ex-Convict. (iLiiiiiuAii CUIIHUI timi tuiy v>. uuvimj were hopeless. The best peoplo of thc State, however, made a brave struggle against overwhelming odds, . or a:;gratcd to other localities. It was dangero'- 5 at that time for a 1 native South Carolinian to go over to ;the Republicans, but Moses was am bitious, reckless and unscrupulous. Bold, brilliant and overconfident, he believed that Republican rule in the South would last for at least a genera tion, and his idea was to join hands with thc victors and seize a lion's share of tue spoils. 1 Hiring thc reconstruction era his daring methods and conspicuous talent made him thc acknowledged boss of thc corruptionists. In the legislature he was Speaker of the House, and in a short time he had thc Senate under his control. Iiis word was law to thc black legions and their white allies who ral lied around the Republican standard. Ile was elected governor. Early success, however, had ruined him, and when he took his scat in thc executive chair he had parted with thc last remnant of prineiplc. The proud South Carolinians hung their heads in shame when they re membered that their governor waa no alien-no base churl from tho gutter -but a member of one of their most honored families. Tho governor rnlod with a high hand from the start. Disregarding tue pleadings of his old fi "nds, and of .his wife who was a refined and esti mable lady, he drew around him a gang of rapacious adventurers. He ?'?old public offices and borrowed money 'tight and left, with no idea of ever repaying it. He gambled and drank with his oe uu lespectur ut persons, i nave never been able to recover from my shock when I heard that thia former governor of one of the proudest of the old thirteen States had been forced to wear co viet stripes and work side by side with common f?lon?. What hus become of Mrs. Moses? I have asked this <|UCstion many times, but it has never been an swered. Evidently, there is no hope for Moses. He is not willing to bc saved. WALLACE PUTNAM REED.
