Governor Ellerbe had been sick a long time and his friends throughout the State were prepared for the end. It was the writer's privilege to have had an intimate acquaintance with him, and those who enjoyed a simi lar privilege knew him and loved him. Governor Ellerbe had the interests of the State at heart and his whole soul was thrown into his duties- He never took a position without conn enation, and once his mind was made up he was as immovable as a rock. During his entire public career he displayed independence and, having the courage of his convictions, he acted according to the dictates of his conscience and judgment; by doing so he was often misunderstood but more often misconstrued. Not since South Carolina became a State was there an Executive who occupied such an embarrassing position. The State had gone through a heated political revolution, followed by a sensational and exciting admin istration, during which there were riots and bloodshed, and which made the sore cut by the revolution of 1890 gape open wider and cause the irrita tion to become more intense. The people were divided, households were~ torn asunder and brothers were ene mies. This state of affairs existed until the people realized that some thing must be done to allay the feel ing and bring about peace. William H. Ellerbe of Marion was called for ward and commissioned for the task. No sooner had he commenced his work of pacification than up went the howl from the politicians of both fac tions; the extreme Conservatives felt that the branch of peace had upon it an offce for each one of their faction, and the extreme Reformers felt that the Governor was too liberal towards those who were classed as political enemies; the Reformers claimed, "to the victors belong the spoils," and the Conservatives claimed that the minority had a right to recognition and a division of the offces. Gover nor Ellerbe paid no heed to either side, and made his appointments in accordance with his oath of offie-to be Governor of the whole people. His first term was a success as far as it went, but it did not finish the work laid out by his policy, and notwith standing the opposition of the bulk of the politicians, and a faction that had sprung into existence which pur ported to have for its motive a moral principle, and this faction receiving the aid of another element opposed to the "moral principle" movement and to Governor Ellerbe, he was re elected. The saying, "uneasy is the head that wears a crown" was true in Governor Ellerbe's case; to add to his burden, came along the visitations of Providence and removed by death quite a number of offee-holders; this necessitated the use of his appointing power and wherever a vacancy oc curred, applications were many and each applicant was warmly endorsed. The appointment would be made, and where he made one man happy the one receiving the commission the disappointed applicants enlisted in the ranks of the enemy. It was the same way when the Spanish American war broke out; the aspi rants for shoulder straps were to be counted by the score, and as they would lose the coveted prize, over the line they stepped to ally themselves with the other clamoring discontents. We say his entire gubernatorial career was beset with embarrassing obsta cles, but he bravely faced themi all and acted without regard to consequences, other than The approval of his Maker, for whom he had a devout regard and whose approbation he earnestly sought. Governor Ellerbe was an honest man, and if at any time during his career he made a mistake it was an error of judgment and not made pur posely or with crafty intent. He was misrepresented by his political oppo nents, for political effect, but those who knew him were not shaken in their confidence in him, and when litical disappointment are brushed aside, as they are bound to be, even his enemies will accord to his mem ory that which is due. The historian will say, that William Hazelden El lerbe was a fearless and honest ruler, and in his death South Carolina lost a son for whom she does not blush for having honoied. Peace to his ashes. GOVERNOR MeSWEENEY. South Carolina has now for its chief executive Miles Benjamin Mc Sweeney of Hampton county, origi nally of Charleston, where he was born and learned the printers' trade. Governor McSweeney is no acci dent, although he fills the unexpired term of the lamented Ellerbe. He was twice elected by the people of South Carolina to the second highest office in the State, and his second election was without opposition, so well and faithfully had he carried out the trust reposed in him. The peo ple of the State, when they re-elected Governor Ellerbe knew that his health was bad, and there was a strong probability he would not live out his term; knowing this con dition,it is fair for us to presume that endorsing McSweeney's administra tion and placing him second in com mand, under the circumstances was virtually an expression of choice for Governor by the people, and the honor is as great as if he had been elected to the position directly. It is hardly necessary for us to go into McSweeney's life to acquaint the people of him, because we have only recently given a sketch of the man, and the fact that he has so often been honored by his profession, the peo ple of his home and, the people of the State, is sufficient evidence that in 1him the people have a man compe tent and with the other requisites to make a good Governor. We know Governor McSweeney; no one can come in contact with him without discovering in the man an individuality which attracts to ad miration. He is open and sincere, frank and determined, kind-hearted and sensible. He is scrupulously careful in business matters, and will not mix sentiment with his business affairs; socially he is of lovable dis position and of free hearted generos ity. McSweeney is a fine judge of human nature and is able to distin guish the genuine from the pretended friendships. Experience is his alma mater and from it he has gained a knowledge of human kind which makes him peculiarly fitted to grasp the helm of the ship of State, and guide her safely on. Governor McSweeney has been the architect of his own fortune, and as he did not permit his. ear to become soothed by the tempter in his private affairs, so will he not be allured from the paths of rectitude and duty, now that he has assumed the grave respon sibility of governor of the State. There is no man who is cognizant of his position and realizes its gravity more than the present Chief Execu tive, at the same time the State of South Carolina, never had a governor who entered upon the discharge of his duties with a stronger determina tion to prove by his works, a life of honest toil with an ambition to win an honorable mention on the pages of the State's history can be attained, even if the ambitious one, can not produce a long line of distinguished ancestry, yea, even if his career be gan as a newsboy, at the printers' case or in the plow field. We want the youth of the State to study the career of Governor Mc Sweeney and profit by the possibili ties he has hewn out for them, and we want the people to keep an eye on his administration, and it is our opin ion, based upon a full knowledge of his past, together with an intimate personal acquantance, and friendship of many years that his admininistra tion will meet the approval of those who have the interests of the State at heart, and when this term shall have ended ho will not have to bend the knee to scheming politicians, to ask them for re-election, but there will come from the people such a demand for his endorsement, that the voice will sound from one end of the State to the other, and no politician will have the termerity to oppose him with any hope of success. We have every confideiice in the success of Governor McSweeney's ad ministration, because if ability, hon esty, and determination can bring about such a result, then success is an assured fact. Anna Gould, a daughter of Jay Gould, whose father was a mouse-trap peddler, bought a titled French Bum a few years ago, and she is now play ing the role of a French aristocrat in Paris. Last Sunday at the races she led a mob of profligate men and wom en to insult Loubet the president, be cause of his part in the Dreyfus affair. Her conduct was a disgrace to her sex and we have no doubt her riot ious living in the French capital is a stench in the nostrils of decent Amer ican women, at any rate the washer women in America, display a better grade of morals and dignity than does the countess whose gold only made her a French aristocrat. Creat ures like Anna Gould would not be permitted to associate with decent American factory women, but in The Cubans have become Ameri canized in cne respect at least, they recently lynched a man who was at one time regarded an agent of Gener al Weyler. They charged him with having outraged defensless women and killed children. _ _ _ . i 0 The address of Governor Mc Sweeney given to the press as his first official utterance, is short and sound, and bears the stamp of a man who does not intend to indulge in glittering promises, but that he pro poses to make his works build the record. The people may expect a solid business administration. Uncle Sam still finds need of Amer ion troops to civilize the conquered savages in the Philippines. A des patch of 5th, inst says that two bat talions were landed covered by a well directed fire from two gun boats. Of course when these battalions landed the savages fled to the hills, at the same time they fired upon the Ameri can forces with effect at a range of 3,500 yards. We presume that Uncle Sam's blue coats came out of the fight with much glory although the dis patch does not so say. Governor McSweeney has selected Major E. H. Aull of Newberry as his private secretary, and while we would have been glad to have seen Col. W. B. Evans continued, yet we recog nize in the selectiln of a private sec retary the Governor had to have a close personal friend, one in whom he must confide many things that he would not care to confide with a man who is but an acquaintance. Majoi Aull is an excellent gentleman, a man of letters and specially suited for the place, and those who will have busi ness in the executive office can feel assured of the most careful, accurate and polite attention. "Major Aull is a lawyer by profession, a journalist from choice, and a first class and suc cessful business man; his accept ance of the position was influenced largely by his personal devotion to his friend, the Governor. A better choice could not have been made, and we congratulate both the Governor and his secretary. Deafness Cannot Be Cured by local applications, as they cannot reach the diseased portion of the ear. There is only one way to cure deafness, and that is by constitutional remedies. Deafness is caused by an inflamed condition of the mucous lining of the Eustachian tubc. When this tube gets inflamed you have a rumbling sound or imperfect hearing. and when it is entirely closed deafness is the result, and unless the inflarmation can be taken out and this tube restored to its nor mal condition, hearing will be destroyed forever; nine cases out of ten are caused by catarrh, which is nothing but an inflamed condition of the mucous surfaces. We will give one hundred dollars for any case of deafuess (caused by catarrh) that cannot be cured by Hall's Cattarrh Cure. Send for circulars, free. F. J. CHENE & Co., Toledo, 0.

That is the cheerful outlook. Mr. McKinley has become convinced that Aguinaldo successfully played the role of brier fox in his dealings with the blue-coated and red-trousered A merican civilian Com missioners, by staving off active mili tary operations against him until the rainy season, while he was preparing for another campaign in the fall. He has also become convinced that any further delay of the volunteers in the Philippines who wish to come home will be dangerous. Convinced of these two things there was nothing left for him to do except to decide to issue a call for volunteers to go to the Philippines, under authority of the army act of the last Congress. He has made that decision, but, in keeping with his usual custom of giv ing the public an excuse for his every important act, will defer issuing the call for volunteers until he gets a ca blegram from Gen. Otis saying that more men are imperatively needed over there. It has been found im possible to get any considerable num ber of the volunteers now in the Philippines to re-enlist, although each man who does so is given travel pay amounting to about $600. The Spanish flag is for the first time in more than a year flying in Washington. It flies over the hotel in which the Duke de Aroos, the new Spanish Minister, and his American wife, are guests. The new Minister called on Secretary Hay and present ed his credentials and later was pre sented by Mr. Hay to Mr. McKinley, and diplomatic relations are again established with Spain. The Minis ter has many personal friends in Washington, which was the home of his wife when he first met her and for many years afterwards. U. S.

Although the negotiations have not been formally broken off there is practically a deadlock over the Alas kan boundary. Months ago it was charged that Great Britian did not wish this depute settled, and it be gins to look as though those who made the charge knew what they were talking about, although it is ap parently Canada that has brought about the deadlock in the negotia tions. Since getting the consent of Boss Hanna, the Henderson - Sherman Speakership combine have been rush ing things so rapidly that they have already apparently got all the other candidates distanced. In the rush the Henderson wing of the combine has taken the lead to such an extent that they are claiming that Hender son is as good as elected, and there appears to be good ground for the claim, but appearances in this sort of a fight are often deceptive. It seems certain, however, that the combine will win, and that either Henderson or Sherman will be Speaker. Republican assistance is being se cretly given to the schemers who are working to prevent to renomination of Col. Bryan and the re-adoption of the principles of the Chicago platform by the next democratic National con vention by securing more than one third of the delegates to that conven tion. The scheme is to get men elect ed delegates who can be controlled by the schemers, if they are not in structed. The practical result of this scheme is likely to be that many del egates will be instructed, who under ordinary circumstances would not be The rank and file of the democracy know what they want and also how to get it. Subseriptious to the Dewey Home fund are coming in so slowly that daily statements are no longer issued of the amounts received. The administration is much wor ried by the failure of the Cuban sol diers to surrender their arms and ac cept the $75 per capita sent over there for them. They had supposed that the poor, ragged devils would jump at the chance of getting $75 apiece, more money than probably three-fourths of them ever owned at one time in their lives. They don't know what to make of the refusal, but they fear that it means trouble of some sort, and their fears are likely to lie true.
