OUR SAY NOW.
The campaign meeting here is one
of the things (if the past, and we re
gret that we cannot let it pass with
out a reply to some of the tihings said.
We believe in fighting fair, and our
antagonist is privileged to hit as hard
as he may, provided he sticks to
facts, and does not not resort to de
ception. Our readers will understand,
that according to the rules of the
Democratic party no one but a can
date has the privilege to make a
speech at the meetings not even if a
candidate should attack a citizen; it
is for this reason the columns of
every decent newspaper are thrown
open to those who have been attack
by an editor and for the further rea
son that the party may make his de
fense before those who read the at
tack. This is right, fair and honora
ble.
Colonel I B. Watson, to evade an
issue, of his own making with Gov
ernor Ellerbe, brought on by reck
less and slanderous misrepresenta
tions, found in the last issue of THE
Tnns, an excuse to shift his fight,
and with a pretense of righteous in
dignation, he endeavored to create
the impression that he was insulted
by 'he editor of THE TImES. What
was the alleged insult? We men
tioned that which was published all
over the State, the shipment of peach
es to the soldiers in camp, with the
compliments of Col. R. B. Watson and
we commented on the fast that it was
the first time we ever heard of Wat
son's liberality. There is nothing
insulting about that and it was a
legitimate criticism to make, espec
ially as Colonel Watson did not dis-'
claim sending the peaches nor did
he at Wednesday's meeting deny
what we said. He did however claim
the peaches were shipped without
his knowledge, by his family and other
friends.
There was nothing wrong in his
giving away peaches, but there is
something wrong in flying false col
ors; and when -those peaches were
heralded abroad as a contribution
from Colonel Watson when it was
not true, he had no right to allow the
deception to continue without mak
ing it known. It turns out accord
ing to Watson himself after notice has
been taken of the sift in the shape of
an adverse criticism,that although the
peaches were shipped to a camp of
voters at this opportune time with
his compliments they we-:e the con
tributions of himself anid others. The
point is simply this, Watson wa for
political effect, taking m~edit for that
that which he was iot entitled, if
what he says about it is true. Not
withstanding this, the.re is not one
offending word in the editoril, and
in fact, it did not offend Colonel Wat
son and his conduct showed that he
was playing for effect; before and
after the meeting he greeted us most
pleasantly and-showed not the least
indication of a man whose feelings
were wounded, but when he got upon
the stand he played well the role of
injured innocence. His attempt to
distort and garble our editorial about
prohibition need only be read to con
vince any sensible man that he was
playing politics and it was a weak
attempt to mislead his hearers, by
separating sentences'and making the
editorial read as though we said that
Prohibitionists were using the cloak
of religion to cover their leprous bod
ies and that they were the recruiting
officers for the devil. We ask that
the editorial be recalled, and it is so
plain a child can see that Prohibition
ists from principle or what they con
sider a religious duty have our high
est esteem, but those who are simply
using prohibition to further their pol
itical euds and rare not in reality pro
hibitionists have not our respect, be
cause they are hypocrites and are de
ceiving men who are indeed advo
cating prohibition with sincerity.
Colonel Watson knew full well the
class we refered to, and when we in
sisted that he not read disconnected
sentences, and forced him to read
what we said as it was written, he
dropped the subject like a hot potato
and switched off with another das
tardly attempt to mislead the people
by creating an impression that we
had written him a letter inviting him
to become a candidate for governor,
plicity. This was the scurviest trick in
his whole harangue,and it was done to
place us in a false light; we endeav
ored to ge' him to correct the state
ment and at first he would not; evi
dently he w anted the people to go
home with a lie burning in their
minds, but after much insisting and
persistence on our part, he eventually
admitted the letter was not from us.
Colonl Watson, poses as a pious
christian gentleman, but if his per
formance in Manning did not show
him up to be a tricky politician and
willing to resort to questionable meth
ods to carry a point, then we are in
competant to judge. His play for
sympathy was a grand effort, but he
overdid it ar(l it will prove a boom
erang. He stood up here and told
his hearers that he had not been prop
erly received; that it was after nine
o'clock before he secured a place to
sleep, and he seemed to hold us re
sponsible for it: naturally we felt that
something was wrong, and on inquiry
we were astonished to learn from
some of the campaign party and one
of the members of the county execu
tive committee that Colonel Watson
bad most outrageously and wit h bare
faced hypocri'sy misrepresented the
facts. He arrived on the afternoon
train with the party, registered at the
Central hotel and in less than half an
hour after his arrival he boastingly
invited several of the candidates to
his room to show them how fortunate
he had been to secure what he told
candidates Shumpert, and Epton, and
Mr. E. D. Hodge and others, was the
best room in the house-"the bridal
chamber."
This miserable deception was cal
culated to, and did win sympathy for
him, but the misrepresentation was
only one of his tricks to catch votes.
When the people, however, are put
in possession of the facts and their
eyes are opened. it gives them a clear
insight mto the true character of the
man who has the indecent effrontery
to charge others with being "political
tricksters."
Right here we wish to say, while
Colonel Watson was properly enter
tained--possibly not so well wined
and dined as he was at the New Eng
land society dinner in Charleston,
when he and Major Hemphill of the
News and Courier were guests of
honor-but he received as good at
tention as a very reputable hotel
could afford, but it is a source of
deep mortification to admit that, by
some misundertstanding or lack of
arrangement, several of the candi
dates found some difficulty in secur
ing homes, although we are informed
that at one of the hotels entertain
ment was provided for a number
which did not take advantage of it.
Individually the editor had at his
house some of the gentlenxen as his
guests, and we had every reason to
expect that ample arrangements were
made at the two hotels for those who
were not privately entertained. We
sincerely regret and feel mortified
that any strangers should enter our
gates and have cause to complain for
lack of attention, but as far as Col
onel Watson is concerned, he had no
right to complain, and in order to
make a political hit, he flagrantly and
with meanness misrepresented the
facts:
There is more catarrh mn this section of
the coutry than all other diseases put to
gether, and until the last few years was
s-iposed to be incurable. For a great
nany years doctors pronounced !t a locali
disease, and prescribed local remedies, and
b; constantly failing to cure with loeal
trazc:t, pronounced it incurable. Sci
ence has proven catarrh to be a constitu

OUR STATE P'OLiTICs.
Uneasy lies the head that wears a
crown, is a truism which might, with
equal force be applied to the head of
our own political organism. The
chief executive of any State, has at
best, if he performs his duty indepen
dent of politicians, and solely in the
people's interest, a rough and stumpy
road to travel; this is so in the course
of a routine administration, but when
extraordinary events occur as have
occured in South Carolina since the
inauguration of W. H. Ellerbe, then
the head of the government in whom
is vested the appointing power is in
deed the mark for greed, disappoint
ment and spleen.
In a political experience of nearly
a quarter of a century, we have never
seen such a State of affairs as exist
today. We have passed through,
and participated in the memorable
struggle of 187(3, and was among
those who risked our all--Life and
our Liberty for the welfare of the~
State. Hampton took hold of the
government and brought order out
of chaos, necessarily, he had a great
many appointments to make, but the
fires of patriotism were still burning
in the hearts of the people and his
appointments were received without
comment. This was a happy condi
tion, but after the reign of Hampton
a spirit of unrest began and occa
sionally murmurings could be heard
until a convention in 1SS0 took a
snap judgment and nonminated a tick
et; from that tinme on the murmur
ings became more frequent until in
1o9 a rev.mini wit Ben Timnn
at its head took possession of the gov
ernment for the people. The old
politicians were routed, horse, foot,
and dragoon, the people were once:
more in possession. Tillman had a
stormy time but the new politicians
found out to their wisdom that Till
man was running the government
and would have none of their dicta
:>n; the people endorsed his bold
-:and by sending him to the United
State Senate.
John Gary Evans succeeded him,
but before his term was out the pol
iticians succeeded in dictating his
policy, which resulted in more sensa
tional scandals than ali of the pre
ceeding administrations since 1876;
some of the charges that were rung
over the State eminated from his
former boon companions, whom he
allowed into his executive councils.
He undertook to palliate the politi
cians and the people repudiated him.
Governor Ellerbe took hold of the
government at a time when the peo
ple were heartily tired of strife, con
tention and above all charges of cor
ruption, they entrusted him with the
charge to allay this strife, and con
tention and to give the people an
administration free from taint; all
factions voted for him, and if ever a
man was ever selected by the people
it was Ellerbe.
The first thing he did was to out
lina his policy which was done in his
inaugural address; that paper was
commended for its wise, conservative,
and business-like tone. The press of
the State praised it with almost a
unanimous voice. The people en
dorsed it and prayed that he might
be spared to carry out his every prom
ise. It is needless for us to say that
each and every promise made in his
inaugural address has been fulfilled,
and no better evidence of it can be
had than the fact that none of his
opponents have dared to point a flu
ger at a broken promise he made to
the people. No, some of them go
about the State with the puny cry that
"Ellerbe has aone back on the Re
formers" that he appointed some "con
servatives to office" and in his mili
tary appointments he ignored men
who have served in the State militia.
But it will be noticed that no fight
was made on Ellerbe until he appoir.t
ed John L. McLaurin to the United
States Senate. From that time on
the John Gary Evans supporters be
gan finding fault and it mattered not
who Governor Ellerbe appointed
after that, a kick all along the line
was made. The opposition began at
that appointment and all kinds of
cliques and combinations were made
at the sitting of tbe General Assem
blv to throw obstacles in his way.
Did the people want this? No.
Did not the people endorse with a
magnificien t majority the appoint
ment of McLaurin? So will the peo
ple endorse every appointment be
has ever made, with perhaps one pos
sible exception-the appointment of
a Reformer as sheriff of Charleston.
None of these politiciana who are try
ing to destroy Ellerbe dare say that
he made a bad selection, none of
them will say, that in all of his ap
pointments the public service has
been injured. Then what do they
say? "Eilerbe would not consult his
friends."
Never in the history of South Car
olina has a governor been embarrass
ed with so many appointments to
make; there was an unusual number
of deaths, promotions and other caus
es; for every vacancy dozens of ap
plications were waiting, in one case,
before the body of a dead officer had
become chilled, like vultures, appli
cants hovered around for the posi
tion; each application was backed
with good endorsements, and orly
one man could be appoinied, and
when he signcd the commission, the
disappointed gang went off crying
"Deal" and every time an applicant
fails the enemies of the governor t ake
up the song that "Ellerbe gave the
appo.ntment to the other man for a
political consideration." They charge
him with being a "weakling" and that
he is "bull-headed" and everything
but a dishonest man. None of them
has had the hardihood to do that.
The nearest to it came from Patriarch
Tillman, wvho with palsied1 finger
pointed out something wrong in the
fertilizer tax tag business, which oc
curred a year before Ellerbe was gov
ernor. Watson has never gone fur
ther than to charze Ellerbe with
making a deal with Charleston in the
metropolitan police -matter, but El
lerbe knocked the sand out of that
humbug before a Charleston audi
ence.
Archer's charge that Ellerbe has
bought up newspapers and with
which he expected to hold up a big
bug-a-boo fell fiat, but on another
page Editor Gantt gives the ex-par
son a dose which should cure him of
his dyspepsia.. Whitman, of course,
no one pays any attention to.
Featherstone and Schumpert are
making a clean campaign. Feather-*
stone is holding aloft the banner
thrown down by Joel E. Brunson,
who refused to be a party to a "sub
trfuge," and Schumpert didn't have
a banner to pick up, and is only
harmlessly asking for votes.
Thi tghtisone in which the pol
iticians are endeavoring to punish
Ellerbe for refusing to allow himself
to be their pliant tool. Enough oft
the campaign has progressed to con
inc the ponle that Governor Eller
be not only deserves a re-election for
a second term, as has been the custom
from time immemorial, but he merits
it, if a faithful discharge of an im
portant trust is taken into considera
tion. He deserves it, because his
enemies have failed to prove a single
chorge they have made, and he de
serves it, because he has fulfilled
every pledge he made to the peo
ple.

IT WAS NOT A DIRTY FLING.
We were much gratified to learn
that Candidate Featherstone, based
his remark of not noticing the "dirty
fling" which appeared iD THUE TDIEs
of last week, on what Colonel Watson
read to the audience, that he had not
read the article until after the meet
ing, and from what we were told we
are satisfied that Mr. Featherstone
would not have regarded anything
appearing in THE TIMEs "a dirty
fling," but good, square, legitimate
criticism. We believe Featherstone
is advocating probiI.ition from honest
motives, that his heart is in his work,
and he certainly shows sincerity arid
commendable pluck. Suchi men do
not "draw the cloak of religion about
their leprous bodies, and become re
cruiting officers for the devil." Such'
men are sincere and it matters not
how much we may differ with them
on the feasibility of the measure they
advoeate, we are bound to respect and
honor them for their sincerity. The
class of Prohibitionists who do "draw
the cloak of religion about their lep
rous bodies and become recruiting
officers for the devil" are those who
work upon the credulity of pious peo
ple and deceive them into believing
they are with them, to catch their
votes for office. This is what was
meant by the editorial which Colonel
Watson undertook to read only such
parts as suited his purpose to make a
political hit. The Bible can be taken
up, and by selecting parts and con
neting them with others, a totally
different meaning can be had. But
such tricks, only last and have their
effect while the performer is working
his sleight of hand, then the trick is
found out and falls flat.
There is no man in the State who
has a higher regard for the conscien
tious supporters of prohibition, and
in our whole experience we have never
cast a vote to permit the sale of liq
uor. On more than one occasion wve
actively supported "dry tickets" to
success, but the operation of the law
after enactment has always proven a
failure. We are honest in the belief
that the dispensary properly enfoiced
will be nearer a temperance measure
than would be a prohibition law,
hence our support of it.
The dispensary has not bad a fair
test; from its beginning it was fought
by the opponents of the law, some
because of politics, others believed it
unconstitutional, others still fought it
because it drove them from the bar
room business, and then some fought
it to make money out of the conten
tion.
The court of the last resort has de
creed the law constitutional, which
removes a doubt that existed in the
minds of a very respectable portion
of the opposition. This doubt re
moved, law-abiding citizens will fall
into line and give it a fair test, and
when that element is found not an
tagonizing the law, it will make many
who would like to be lawless halt.
The dispensary is nowv upon the
threshold of getting fair treatment
and should it not prove a practicable
temperance measure, the people will
clamor for its repeal, and none will
work harder than us to see it wiped
from the stotute books with absolute
prohibition in its stead.
As we understand it, the Prohibi
tionists who are in this contest are
not in reality aftei prohibition; they
want liquor sold for "medicinal, me
chanical, scientific and sacramental
purposes." This is a theory which
does not commend itself to a practi
cal mind, to a mind that knows the
ways of the world. Do not our friends
know if liquor is sold in any way,
shape or form, it is the gate thrown
open to those who use it? And to
thnk that liquor drinkers can be held
down to "medic'inal, mechanical, sci
entific and sacramental purposes," is
an idle dream not to be realized in
this wvorld.
But the Prohibitionists contend
that the laws against stealing, mur
der and other crimes do not prevent
the commission of crimne, and accord
ing to the dispensaryites might as
well be repealed. No, there are cer
tain offenses which are even climes
in the sight of God and man that are
almost impossible to convict because
there is a sentiment which degrades
a man "who does and tells." A good
citizen will inform his neighbor if he
knows that a chicken was stolen from
him and will go on the stand and
swear against the thief. That same
thief may sell the same man whiskey
and all of the solicitors, judges and
jurors could not force him to tell it.
Why? Because the sentiment is
against an informer. Then what is
to be done
Our view of the matter is not to
drag the question into politics, but
build up a sentiment against the vio
lation of the law, teach the people,
it is not only their duty, but to their
interests to uphold the law, and when
that is done there may be a good
chance to enforce prohibition. Let
us give the dispensary a fair trial and
should it not, now that all obstacles
are removed, prove a good temiper
ance measure, we can be counted on
to help in any cause which will pro
mote temperance.
