PROHIBITION CONVENTION 3U NEES CANNOT RUN AS SUCH IN THE THE PRIDIAIY. The much mooted question as to the status of the prohibitionists has been settled by the State Democratic Executive Committee, and under the ruling of that body those candidates who were suggested by the Prohibi tion convention cannot as such run in the Democratic primary, but they can as individual Demociats run in the primary. The difference is this; the constitution of the Democratic party prohibits the running of fac tional candidates and before a man is permitted to run he must file a pledge which reads "he is not nor will he become the candidate of any faction, either privately or publicly sugges ted, other than the regular Democrat ic nomination." The Prohibitionists are an organized body, and as such placed a full ticket into the field to be voted for in the primary; this say's the highest authority of the party is directly in violation of the spirit and intent of the party's constitution, and the present constitution forbid ding factional suggestions or uomi nations was not made in the recent State convention, it was made in 1894, reiterated in 1896 and again in 1898. There was a reason and a good one too, for putting into the party law this very thing. In 1890 the consti tution of the Democratic party (did not forbid the holding of factional conventions and this condition per mitted the famous March convention; we all remember what a furore it oc easioned, the Democracy became di vided into two distinct factions and they made their fight for the nomnina tions with much bitterness, and it resulted in the election of TIillman and the putting of the Reform fac tion in control. Two years after, the 'onservative faction held a convention and put forward a ticket headed by Hon. John C. Sheppard, that ticket failed of election, then in 1894 when the Rle formers had everything their own way what was called the "Celleton Plan" was conceived; this was not a conten tion between the Reformer and Con servative factions, but it was a con tention within the reform ranks to the exclusion of the Conservatives; it was done to weed out the Reform candididates to, a stand that they could move solidiy iu case the Con servatives put up a ticket. The March convention wvas not in violation of thme Coustitution of the Democratic party, neither wats the Sheppard convemtion of 1892 nor the factional primary of 1894, but they all created h-eart burnings, strife, dis sention, and bitterness with a great tendency to an ultimate disruption of the party. At the September State convention, these matters wiere taken into serious consideration and it was agreed by all factions that these pre liuminary conventions and primaries should stop; the result was, that in the convention of 1894 a constitution was adopted forbidding in future these preliminary suggestions or nomina tions by an organized force, and since the adoption there has not been any convention or primary outside of the ones called by the constituted au thorities of the Democratic party. This year, however, the Prohibition party, for it is a distinct party, with all the elements of a political party, held a convention, nominated a tick et, elected an executive committee and (lid such thiugs as organized pol itical parties do. Their convention announced that the ticket suggested by it, was subject to the action of the Democratic party. B~efore p)utting their candidates into the field a con veution was called of those who fa vored putting out the ticket and when the late Democratic Executive Comn mittee wet, the Prohibitionists ap peared~ before them, laid their ease before that body, and that committee instead of giviug them a p'it ive re l1y which would leavey no room for a misundterstan~ding. told the Prohibitionists that if they cow piied with t he constitution of thbe piarty they would be permitted to run: in the pr'imary. The Prohibitionists construed this to mean that if they were willing~ to go into t he primary an'd not afterwards purt up a ticket in opp1ositionI to the primary nominees requirements, and right here is where they made a mistake; they went into their convention which under the call did not admit any one who was op posed to making nominations, and they suggested or nominated a full ticket. We believe aUny of them realize the mistake they made, not only the method they pursued but in the for ination of the ticket itself, because by ti-e personue-l of the ticket they laid themselves open to the charge of in consistancy; they claim to be advo eating a moral principle, neverthe less they make up a ticket with at least three of their nominees who are avowed dispensary men, and one who it is said is neither for dispensary or prohibition, and in favor of high license, but prefers the dispensary to prohibition. Out of the seven State oficers suggested, four are said to be opposed to the Prohibition move mert. Since the suggestion was made, the Prohibition Executive Committee, not being able to withstanit the con stant fire that has been pouring into it on aiccount of this inconsistency, undertook a work of "pacification" b: Jiswissing one of the dispensary !:es from the ticket; this one was the former State Democratic chairman, with his hand on the lever of the party machinery, but the Prohi bition ists did not dismiss him from their ticket untii after the Democratic party placed the throttle into the hands of another engineer. Tompkins was dropped because he was opposed to the Prohibition platform and openly asserted it. Timmerman, Epton and Thompson, all of whom are not in favor of the Prohibition platfo in, are permitted to remain. The action of the former executive committee did not satisfy some of the gentlemen on the Prohibition tieket sufficiently to make sure of their status in the party and, being conscientious, they want ed to have the question ruled upon by the only authorized power-the present State Democratic Executive Committee; a letter with formal ques tions was addressed to the committee by Hon. George S. Mower, which is as follows: "Whether or not the suggestion of a candidate by the recent Prohibi tion conyention makes the person who is suggested and accepts a can didate in the Democratic primary such as is forbidden by the terms of the pledge prescribed by the consti tution of the Democratic party of this State." And after being discussed from every standpoint of party law the fol lowing ruling by the committee was given to MIr. Mlower's question: "We interpret the constitution as disfavoring factional nominations, but if the pledge is signed by the candidates as individuals the votes will be counted." This reply, taken in connection with the pledge required by the con sttut ion, settles the matter and means that any nmn suggested by a conven tion or primary not called by- the constituted authorities, if he accepts such suggestion or nomination can not run in the Democratic primary, but that any Democrat can run in the primary as an individual. The nominees of the late Prohibition con vention are debarred from running 'in the primary unless they first with draw their acceptance from the Pro hibition Executive Comnmittee. If these gentlemen who have been sug gested withdraw their acceptance, it places them onthe same basis as any other Democrat, and, under the rul ing, they are entitled to the same privileges. But it may be said pledges are always signed as individ uls and it will not hinder the Prohi bition suggestees frore signing. This is an error; every m?an suggested by an organized body and accepts is a reresentative of the body which puts him forward and lie does not go into the race as an individual, and we can not believe any of the nominees sug gested will think for a moment of taking the pledge required by the constitution unless he first withdraws his acceptance. The ruling of the committee has made it clear that any Democrat, whether he advocates prohibition or any other issue, can run in the pi mary, provided he runs in an in dividual capacity. The wisdom of this action can be readily seen; it will prevent bodies of men conigre gating and splitting the party into contending factions; it puts every Democrat in a position to go before the people to advocate his -:iewvs, and it puts a stop to the stocking of the political cards by a self selected fewv as the primary system was originally itended.

The war is absorbing all public in terest and politics has become a see ondary consideration. Our people should not lose sight of the fact that we must elect this year our State and county officers, and it is to their per sonail interest that proper men should till these positions. We therefore ad ise that they do not become indif ferent to their political duties, and set about to fill their State and coun t'y offices with the very best material; it is in this way that the governwent can be successfully run in the inter ests of the people, but if the people do not take an interest in public af fairs, political sharpers will take ad vantage of the opportunity and con vert the government to their own in terests, which often breeds corrup tion, and once in possession it is with the greatest difficulty they can be dislodged. Let us all, from now on, see to it that we seleet our State and county oflicers without regard to faction, but with a sole regard to mjerit and qualification. No man has a right to appeal to factionalism at Ithis time, because there are no issues npon which the Democracy is di vided. The causes which resulted in factional division no longe.r exist, and we are today a reunited party. The man who woul now attempt to arouse a factional spirit is not the man entitled to political preferment, for he is evidently indifferent to the people's welfare; it is his personal aggrandizemnent he i. advancing. There is no mani aho was more of a factional partisan than us, but that was at a time when we saw such a course was necessary; the conditions at that time made it necessary in or der that the people could shake them selves loose from a condition which was brought about by their own in difference, and thus gave political carbuncles a chance to fasten them selves on the ship of State. The work of clearing off these carbuncles has been acsomplished, and it should be an object lesson to us not to again allow ourselves to get in that deplora ble fix. The vay to prevent it is for every citizen taxpayer to see to it that our best qualified men are placed in pub lic positions; if we do this the public service will be bettered and our taxes decreased. WHILE POSITIONS IOLD OUT WAR CONTINUES. There are indications that lead us to beleive Spain is anxious to sue for peace. Her treasury is too low to carry on the war in anything like on equality with the United States and wye believe she stands ready to con eede to anv reasonable demard our government may make. On the other land Uncle Sam has got a taste of Spanish blood and he is inclined to push the war on, and instead of be ing satisfied with what the war was first supposed to have started about -the freedom of Cuba-Uncle Sam seems inclined to take unto himself all of the Spanish-American possessions. The politicians will not let our gov ernment stop fighting now if it wants to, because it is too good a fieki to pay off political debts. Every man with a pull at headquarters finds soft berths and bomb-proofs for his friends. The war is a great scheme for politicians, and besides if the war can be prolonged into the next Presi dential campaign the party in power wvill of course be retained, as no lpeo ple would make a chnange wvhiile tie country is at war. The there is another class who would strain every nerve to keep) the wa"oing(-the manufacturers and miners of the Nor th; look at the mi lions of mnoney being spent for every thing not to be obtained in th~e South -coal, iron, uniforms, ammunmtion, guns, accouterments and millions of dollars worth of other things. These men have found the war to be a per fect Klondyke and they will have it continued as long as possible, it mat ters not how much the people object nor how many concessions Spain, al ready whipped, may offer to make. It is our prediction that the war with ii Spain will continue until several other powers combine and call thet United States to a halt. When the soldiers were leaving Columbia t wenty-six of the employees of the Graubv MIills went to the de pot to see them off and on the next morning wvhen they rep~orted for work the Boss gave them their walking pa pers. W\e have no doubt that many of these poor peopleC had relatives among the soldier boys and it is aI hardshaip that they should lose their employvment because they left their work when every other business wa closed down. We hope the mill own ers will give these p~eop~le their places back. The sp~eech recently delivered in the United States Senate by Senator I John L. MIcLaurin hasi been the sub- :1 jec: of much comment all over the Union. The Democracy of the West has taken hold of it and using the ut terances of our Carolina statesman as a campaign opponent crusher. Thei Silver Knig ht-Watchman has spread the speech over the entire Uniteds States together with the best piict ure of MIcLaurin we have vet set ni. Ine the next Presidential campaign we expect that MIeLaurin's services will be in great demand upon01 the host ings. t WAR. The past week has been one of ex pectancy and the public mind was kept on strain by the wild rumors about bombardments, destruction of Spanish vessels and the landing of troops on Cuba. The press dis patches, had they been true, the war would by now have been ended, if from no other cause than the coli plete route of the enemy. Notwith standing the reported weakness of Spain and the oft repeated American victories with scarcely no resistance from the Spanish forces, United States has not let up in its preperations in both army and navy. The land forc es are being mobilized to be ready to go either to Porto Rica, Manila, the Phillipines or to Cuba. The most important happening of the past week was the dare-devil bravery of Lieutenant Hobson, who took charge of the Collier Merrimac with seven men and amid a storm of shell from the shore batteries, entered the mouth of the channel at Santiago de Cuba harbor, blew up lii:; ship with a torpedo anl sunk her so as to ob!struct :he passage in or out of the harbor. This was done to complete ly bottle up Cervera with his squad ron who is sumposed to be hidden be hind the hills in that harbor. Hobson azid his mien swama ashore and were caAured, but what prevented them from destroying their lives with the ship is one of those mysterious hap penings to one can account for. He and his brave comrades are safe and they have, by this one act, written their names on the pages of fame. Yesterday's dispatches reported the sinking of the Spanish torpedo boat Terror,and the landing of 12,000 American soldiers near Santiago; the report is not officially confirmed and is not believed. The ground for the report is that one of our battleships saw a moving object close in shore and dred upon it, immediately threw its searchlight on to see the i-r-sult of the shoi, but there was nothing in sight, and many thinL it was a dark ened train passing. The priceip:l fighting going on now is between the Army contractors, wio are rushing pell-mell over each other to get their fingers into the ap propriation pie. This Ioning's dispatChes say that Sampson anb Seiley silenced the forts at Sanliago and knocked the earthworks to pieces without any in jury to the American fleet. 'I hey also fired upon the villinge of Agna dores where 500 Americans were landed and they drove the Spaniards from their works. The Spaniards claim a victory and contend that the Americ-ans were badly worsted and were forced to withdraw from the combat. Major J. Gary Evans has been assigne-i to the command of General Fitzhugh Lee. The News and Courier still per sists in spelling Manila with two "l's'' in spite of the fact that the whole country has been elicitating over Dewvey's knocking "1" out of Manila. Congress is about to direct a new ssue of bonds and the wvar revenue bill will soon be put in operation, the first will fill the coflers of the already rich and the latter will bleed the al ceady bled people. We are reliably informed that the Prohibition Executive Committee sill withdraw all of the nominations :orrespondence with t he comminittee, ecently made in the convention], itdi that chairman Jones is nowv in a the subject. There will be no Prohibition ticket in the Democratic >rimary but there may he candidates 'or office advocating Prohibition newis.

Although the whole world ha been apprised for forty-eight hour. past that he has fired upon the bat. teries at the entrance of the harboi in order to unmask their noi tion anJ determine their strength, this bulle tin makes the information oticial.

The destrueueo of the Merri mac in Santiago houh r %esterday (although it was videaillv intended to be sunk, mail seit in t here l)v Ad miral Sampsoi for that purpose to render the harlier im] P ssahle) shows that the narrow ebannel to the bar bor is not onily well itiied, but t!:at the Spaniards are very skilful in tc use of sUb- marine mxine-s. if they are not good gunners from thL dechs ol their war ships. Although there aeE many theories in the books as to ltw counternining can be so successfully done as to render thei harmless, the best authurities assert that it is only theory, as u;; instance iz positivei known in which such countermining has been act ually accomplished. ic that the determination, heretoforE made to send laud forces into Portk Rico and Cuba for the purpose o: having them co-operete with the war ships has not been changed in view of 'these new (levelopments. 12,00C or 15,000 rcgulars will be sent tc Santiago as soon as possible; and another expedition will soon depart for the Philippines. But, as before intimated in this correspondence, thE Adininisti ation has been inexcusably tardy in sending Admiral Dewey adequate relief. Now it develop that the Cadiz fileet has actually sailed for Manila. It is a formidable 1leet, consisting of somne seven or eight good fighting vessels, including the armed cruisers Pela o, Carlos V and Mum ancia-m nch more formidable in fact, than our Asiatic squadron is able to successfully meet; and the most apprehensive part of the situa tion is the fact that this fleet can reach Manila before any re-enforee ments of our Asiatic fleet can reach Admiral Dewer. It has been almost a crime that our gallant fleet over there has been so long and shame lessly neglected; and, if disaster should overtake it, the blood-will be upon the hands of the Administra tion for its unpardonable neglect and dereliction of dutv. The only re-en forcement so far actually dispattched to Admiral Dewey is the cruiser Char leston and some 2,600 men, and no other expedition is promised to de part before next Tuesday-au expe dition of men only, however, althoughb the Navy D epairtment is in possession of the information that the Cadiz tleet is on its way to Manila.
