( aroliua will regret (Ik: cause which
lorees him to withdraw from the

tin; earnest prayer ol. thousands in
this Slate will he I hat he may soon
be recovered lo Ins accuslomcd
lieall h.
The announcement which was
made iu (he daily papers yesterday
of liis withdrawal and the cause of
it was a ureal surprise to many
South Carolinians. It was pretty
generally the opinion that he stood
a good chance of being in the second
race and liis friends believed (hat if
lie were in the sccotkt nice that he
would he I iiitcd Slates senator.
A loin; with I liis announcement of
w K lidra\v;il comes (lie* aiinounccmcur
from .Mayor Illicit, of Charleston,
thai he has entered the race for the
senate and it tln'refore leaves the
same uiuuher of eaudidales.
I'lie situation al present ts snmewlial
uusetlled ami no one can undertake
lo predicl what I he result
XV'H he. We should think, however,
thai I lie withdrawal of (lov. TTevw
ard Would increase the chances
very materially for I lie success of
' o|. Johnstone. Many <?r Mr. "ffeyward's
friends were likewise friends
ol ('ol. <loli list one.
The campaign will open next week
and after the li'-sl meeting or two
and when J lie people understand just
what plattorm will he announced
the voters will hegiu to align lliemselvis
and the candidates will he ahle
to from some opinion of their
chances.
AI every court ol general sessions
there are a number of cases for vlolalion
ol I lie lii|iior law and these
cases lake up a good deal of the lime
and cost i lie count ies considerable
money, ll would be a g 1 idea to
have the law amended so that these
cases might he tried bet ore the magistrates.
h is true ft would lessen
the punishment, but justice could be
more speedily meted out and if the
parlies persisted in breaking the law
they could be more frequently dealt
with.

'! lb*. II. X. Snyder should accept
ili,. presidency of (he Soulli
Carolina Cuivci-sity it will be fortunate
for the university. In fact
'II ot the men whose names were
mentioned in connecfiou with the
presidency would have filled I he
position with credit to themselves. Tl
i'i doubl fill, however, if Dr. Snvder
will accept. Wot lord is doing ;i
great work under lus leadership and
I lie Methodists will slronglv urge
him to remain with the institution.
None ol the gentlemen whoso
names were mentioned in connection
wilh the presidency of the South
Carolina Cnivcrsil\ were in anv
sense applicants for the position and
it is proper that positions of Ibis
kind should seek the men rather
than the men seek the positions. Tn
tact some of them fn answering the
inquiries from the friends of the
University had positively stated that
they could not give *tp the work in
which they, were engaged to accept
(lie position.
We understand that this was the
case with President Scherer of Newberry
college. His work hero is
growing to such exleot and is just
now beginning to bear fruit that it
would !)( a great misfortune if he
were to leave and when the question
was put to him he replied promptly
mid formally that he could not think
of leaving Newberry at this time.
These consecrated men at the head
nl these denominational colleges are
doing a greater work and more good
possibly than they could at the
head of n State institution.

liave so many warm-hearted, sympathizing
i'riciuls, who have come to
my relief.
Dear friends, this is the heaviest

that all things work together i'or our

refer you to his previous promise,
which says: "Inasmuch as ye have
[done it unto one of t?,e least of these,
m.v brethren, ye have done it unto
me.''
Yours fraternally,

Coventor Hey ward had been regarded
as one ot the leading eaudiI
dates and it was considered that he
would certainly be in the second race.
He has done a good deal of preliminary
work, and built up a strong
organization among his friends

j gret his forced decision to relinquish
his chances for the senate. Tl
is understood that for days the former
(loveriior has held out strenu|
ortsly against the positive dictum of
j his physicians that he shall lake an
( absolute rest for several months, but
lit has been known to his most int i
mate Iriends for two or three weeks
that Governor Hey ward's health was
in a precarious condition. This condition,
however, was not considcrct
serious by any others than his imineelialc
family ami his physician1
until after his trip to Georgia last
week. It was hoped that this trij
would entirely restore him, but il
failed to do so. On his return fron
Georgia his condition was found ti
be serious, so much so that his physicians
have been insisting for sev
eral <lays on taking him to a sanitarium.
lie lias, however, strenuously
fought (his idea.
For several days he has been confined
to his bed and his condition ha?
grown so much worse that it lint
been found imperative that he gc
away at once for treatment.
(iovernor 1 ley warn was too ill t(
bo seen today, but il was staled 01
his behalf that he will not be a can
didatc for the senate since his phy
sicians, Drs. Mcintosh and "Guerry
have positively forbidden him to enter
the campaign. While it is hop
ed that rest and treatment will com
ph-tely restore liiin to health, hi:

GEO. JOHNSTONE CONFIDENT

Am*usta Chronielo.
Xewberrv, June I.?The politica
pot is beginning to boil in Newberr\
county. \"ery few of tlie county oflicers
have no opposition, and the
county campaign promises to be interest
imr.
And not only is Newberry count\
taking an interest in county politic?
lliis year, but, with a candidate foi
the 1'niled Slates Senate, in the per
sun of Col. George Johnstone, tin
senatorial race is exciting unusual inleresl
in this county. localizing Col
Johnstone's eminent fitness for tin
hitih position to which he aspires
and realizing the fact that his ability
h;is been tested and is recognizee1
throughout South Carolina. Newberry
believes that she will furnish tlw
next C nit eel Stales senator.
Col. Johnstone has been in main
sections of South Carolina during tin
past several weeks, and wherever In
has been he has received assurance*
of support which are most encouraging.
These assurnuecs of support
have come without an active cam
paign so far on the part of Mr
Johnstone. While he has been it
many sections of the State recently
he lias gone in response to invitation:
which he has received to deliver addresses
at college *iml m-IiooI com
menccinents, and on other occasion.1
w here hi-oralory ha< been in demand
llis announcement as a candidate' fot
