It is with much pleasure that we note the independence of the Abbeville Press and Banner with regard to the gubernatorial race this summer. Col. Frank B. Gary lives in the town of Ab beville, and it is customary for a paper to support its county man in a contest for a State office, but not so with Editor Wilson, who regards Governor Mc Sweeney as having merited the honor of being his own successor, and he comes out square and flat-footed and announces his support to McSweeney against all comers. Hurrah for Abbe ville's editor. We pull our hat to the man who has independence enough to refuse to permit a silly custom to tie his hands and force him by his silence or support to do an act of injustice to a man who he conscientiously believes has merited the people's endorsement. Colonel Gary is a good man. He made a good Speaker of the House of Representatives, but his candidacy for Governor at this time, it strikes us. is unfortunate for him. If he runs and is defeated his political career is ended. and, in oar judgment, he will be defeat ed, for several reasons: First-Governor McSweeney has giv en the people a first class administra tion. He has conducted the high office entrusted to him with ability and dis tinction. Second-There is a disposition on the part of the people to endorse a man who has conducted his office satisfac tory-this is regarded fair play. Third-There is not at this time. ex cept from some politicians, any demand for Governor McSweeney's retirement. The politicians who want him retired are those who have found in Governor McSweeney a man who regards himself responsible to the people and not to politicians, and therefore acts accord ingly. Fourth-A great many people feel that the Gary family has been hand somely provided for already. John Gary Evans has been Governor, John Gary Watts, Adjutant and Inspector General; Eugene B. Gary, Associate Justice on the Supreme bench: Ernest Gary on the circuit bench: Dr. Evans. Frank Gary's father-in-law, on the State Board of Health; George Evans. a member of the House with higher aspirations: Barnard B. Evans, in the government service. All of these gen tlemen, from the same family. occupy ing prominent official positions, gives the people an idea that things are lia ble to return to the old conditions when it was utterly useless for a man to offer for public place unless he belonged to a certain family or had the endorsement of a certain set. We have no quarrel with the Gary. family, but we do think they should be satisfied with what they have already obtained, without reaching out for more, and, like Colonel Frank B. Gary's home county paper, we believe it just and right to give Governor Mc Sweeney's administration the endorse ment it has merited, and our hearty support against all corners. hOLlER THAN ThOU! - The Prohibitionists have issued an address, as a precusor to their political campaign, in which they thrash over a lot of old straw, mix religion with poli tics, call upon the women to take a hand in the fight, and ask the preachers to convert their pulpits into a forum of politics. We may look out from now on, to hear a certain class of preachers devoting their time to politics; men who have not had one word to say from their pulpits about prohibition since the last primary, except in a casual way, will begin to give the subject their undivided attention, and especially will this be the case when the candidates for office are announced. The church to which the candidate belongs will have the preacher of that denomination his most ardent advocate, matters not what the qualifications are-the candi .date being of his denomination is suffi cient. We believe it to be the duty of ministers to preach temperance, but it should be done as a moral duty, and not in response to a political faction's de mand. Politicians who live in comnmu nities where the Prohibitionists, and liquor men have a majority jump right square on the Prohlbition platform, and are elected to office. A glance over the General Assembly is convincing of this. There are men in that body rep resenting prohibition counties who. are not Prohibitionists by practice or example, and they will say if asked that "prohibition is impracticable." They will also admit that they espoused the cause of prohibition to get elected, and with no idea of bringing about such legislation. There are a great many men in the State who feel it a conscien tious duty to vote for prohibition, and will vote for any man representing such a principle, and these same men will admit that if the General Assembly was to give us prohibition, it would amount to the country being flooded with li quor without any revenue being paid to defray the Ceese incur'red from the sale of liquor. But not all of those who are taking a leading par't in in jecting the prohibition question into our coming primary are prohibitionists from principal-politics is the ruling passion with them, were this not true why would they want to run men for every office from United States Sena -in Amwn to Coronae Tf theyrinilly wanted prohibition they would devote their attention entirely to the legisla ture, and leave the State and Congres sional offices alone, because it is well known that a Congressman can do nothing for prohibition, nor can a gov ernor, it takes the legislature to make the laws, and no man who could be elected governor would vetoe a prohi bition law after it was enacted. Our friends who are clamoring for prohibi tion would not be so clamorous if they were forced to confine themselves to the legislature, because that office is without profit-take away the flesh pots., and their remains uothing for politicians to struggle. Those anxious statesman who so quickly placed themselves on their country's altar when it was rumored that Senator McLaurin was going to resign to accept a place on the Philip pine Commission are certainly sorry they spoke. Every one of them ex posed their greed for office. and placed themselves on record as chronic office seekers. They kick the hat with the rock under it, aud now they are nursing their chagrin. According to press dispatches this morning, the British have at last turned the tide of war in their favor. The latest show, that General Roberts with his big battallions and military skill has compelled the surrender of General Cronje. The Englishmen were about 40,000 strong, and the Boers about 4000. The Dutchman with his little band held off the Englishman with his mighty host for days, and yet England rejoices. We admire William Jennings Bryan for his sterling manhood. Grosvenor of Ohio attempted last week to make'some political capital in Congress by stating that Bryan came on to Washington and advised his democratic followers to vote for the ratification of the Paris treaty. Bryan was asked if this was true, and like the manly man that he is replied yes. A great many people are con demning Senator McLaurin for voting for the ratification of the Paris treaty, and are charging him with Republican tendency's. What will they say about the Democracy's idol William Jennings Bryan, has he Republican tendency's too? McLaurin is as good a democrat as is Bryan, and when the American flag was fired upon, no party issue was at stake, but we are all Americans, and the nation comes first. There are a iew political quacks in this world who have an idea that to at tract attention they must express them selves differently from other qeople re gardless of the issue. This class will always be found hiding from view and taking the other side of and misrepre senting all questions. A man who is honest in his expressions speaks his mind in the open, he lets the people know that he is talking and is respon sible for his views and expressions. He neither shields himself behind the sanctity of clerical robes, nor does he speak from abroad. He does not hold up his hands in holy horror at politics and claim himself too saintly to discuss such a worldly and degrading subject, at the sametime hypocritically using his religion to further his political ends. No, the editor who has an honest pride in his profession, and is not a pliant tool, will let the public know who he is criticising adversely, and he will not secret himself from public view. The $100,000 appropriation for free schools failed of passage because the scheme was not projected in good faith, Ias will be seen, it was a delusion and a snare. The opponents of the State col leges tacked on to the bill the appropri ation with the proviso that the $100,000 must be collected and applied in the same manner as the three mill constitu tional school tax. This would have ne cessitated an additional levy in every county whether tbey needed the monev or not, and not one cent of the $100,000 was to come out of the State treasury. The whole thing was a trick to increase taxation in order that the opponents of the colleges could raise a hue and cry this summer. That this view 'is cor'-.t is shown in the action of the opponents of the colleges,in refusing to permit such counties as did not need more school money and now have money lying idle in their county treasuries, to be exempted, and when they saw their scheme was discovered they were the first to ask that the $100,000 appropria tion be withdrawn. The material change in the dispen sary is the taking away of the profit heretofore going to the State, and giv ing it to the counties. Then the pur chases are to be made by sealed bids to be deposited with the State Treasurer and to be opened only at a meeting of the board of directors. By this scheme the counties, and towns will get more money from the institution, and in such counties where the three mill consti tutional tax is insufficient to supply the necessary funds to run the free schools, the Representatives can provide in their "supply bills" apportioning the coun ty's portion of the dispensary profit to the free schools. In this way, those counties that do not want a dispensary operated in their midst will also do without the profits of an institution they are violently opposed to. Hereto fore the dispensary profits was distrib uted among all of the counties, prohi bition as well as dispensary, which Imany regarded unfair, they believing that a county opposed to the sale of li quor to such an extent that it will not tolerate a dispensary should not be per mitted to share in the profits made in counties where a similar feeling does Inot exist. That if dispensary money is "blood money that should be scorned" those holding such views ought to be consistant, and not want to share in any part of it.

Charleston's exposition promises to be an affair which will help the old city to get a place in this progressive procession. A capitalized company will have charge of the enterprise which is the proper step towards success, and we hope that, the people throughout tbe State will lend every effort to make this exposition a grand success. There is not a county in the State that cannot have a place in the p icture where its resources will be seen. Take our sec tion, we can make a magnificient ex hibit of our tobacco. and thereby ad vertise our lands to the world. Then we have all kinds of products, woods. minerals, and a variety of other re sources which can be gotten together and attractively arranged for exhibit, that people from abroad might see what we have and thereby bring our prop erty in demand. We hope the com pany in charge of this exposition will select men in every county of the State to urge the people to become interested and to show them that the purpose of the exposition will help the whole State. Prevented a Tragedy. Timelv information given Mrs. George Long of New Straltsville. Ohio. prevented a dreadful tragedy and saved two lives. A frightful cough had long kept her awake every night. She had tried many remedies and do&ors but steadily grew worse until urged to try Dr. King's New Discovery. One bottle wholfy cured her. and she writes this marvelous medicine also cured Mr. Long of a severe attack of pneumonia. Such cures are positive proof of the matchless merit of this grand remedy for curing all throat, chest and lung troubles. Only 50c and $1. Ev erv bottle guaranteed. Trial bottles free at the R. B. Loryea drug store. 6 There seems to be some surprise at the election of L. J. Williams as chair man of the board of directors. It was taken for granted that the Legislature would have made a clean sweep when it legislated the old board out of exist ence. What brought about a change we do not know, but had the election come off sooner we are satisfied that not one of the old board would have stood a ghost of a chance. But Williams is a shrewd political manipulator and, hav ing the advantage of being so fortunate as to not get mixed up in disgustingnews paper revelations which made the old board so odious, he managed by the de lay in bringing on the vote, to convince a majority that he should not be pun ished for the misdeeds of the others. We did not vote for Williams, but our opposition was not based on any belief of guilt, but because we felt that a new deal was necessary to satisfy the people. As far as we know there has been noth ing shown which besmirches the char acter of Mr. Williams, but there has been shown that when his faction was in the majority they rode rough shod over the minority, and trouble resulted, and when the other side got into the saddle they retaliated and there was trouble again. This thing went o; un til the people were very tired of the constant bickerings of the whole board, and in our judgment the people would have been much gratified if the whole board could have been abolished and the management of the institution local ized by giving it over to each county. The General Assembly thought differ ently, however, and they have given us the system with some changes. Per haps the new board can manage the business more satisfactory: that re mains to be seen, if they fight and scratch as did the old board, the people will elect men to the Legislature who will put a stop to the quarrels by fol lowing the precedent set by the recent session. To be Prepared For war is the surest way for this nation to maintain peace. That is the opinion of the wisest statesmen. It is equally true that to be prepared for spring Is the best way to avoid the peculiar dangers of the season. This is a lesson multitudes are learning, and at this time. when the blood is sure to be loaded with impurities and to be weak and sluggish, the millions begin to take Hood's Sarsaparilla, which purifies, en riches and vitalizes the blood, expels all disease germs. creates a good appetite, gives strength and energy and puts the whole system in a healthy condition, preventing pneumonia, fevers and other dangerous diseases which are liable to attack a weakened system. am A number of newspapers continue harping about the legislature failing to adopt the biennial sessions resolutions, and they are endeavoring to create the impression that our lawmakers voted against the project, for selfish reasons. The Senator from Ciarendon voted for biennial sessions,;because he promised the people on the stump that he would do so,but there are two sides to every question, and before the critics go too far they should weigh the reasons given by those voting against the measure. The State of Georgia now has biennial sessions with a fifty day limit, and what is the result, in that State the legisla ture holds its regular session every two years, and an adjourned session, which is unlimited, every year, making the cost to the taxpayers even greater than were they to have limited sessions every year. In North Carolina the biennial session does not work satisfactory, so say men who from that State have legislative experience. Then our con stitution has arranged the fiscal affairs of the State, which under the resolu tion before the Assembly, had it been adopted, would have disarrange the whole goverment without providing the necessary method to run the affairs of the State. This was made so clear that it was exceedingly fortunate the meas ure failed of passage, and next year in the early part of the session a new res olution will be introduced which will remedy the defects. We would like very much for the question of biennial sessions to be discussed in the coming campaign in order that the people may get an intelligent idea of the proposi tion. It is very catching to say that that the legislature shall meet every other year, that it would be saving money to the taxpayers &-c., but it should be demonstrated by argument convincing,and not merely by assertion. If we are to have regular sessions every other year, and adjourned sessions every year, then the object of the peo ple would be defeated, and we had bet ter let well enough alone.
