The South Carolina Interstate and West Indian Exposition, to take place in Charleston, is now far beyond the mythical stage and is an assured fact. Already the business pulse of Charleston is quickening in happy anticipa tion of a successful culmination of this grand project to advertise South Carolina's resources and to give an impetus to an already stirring business revival through out Carolina. We regret very much that we cannot publish the communica tion of "Truth," because we have already burnt the bridges be hind us, and do not propose now to turn back and repair them for our enemies to cross. The com plimentary expressions with re gard to the editor of THE TiMES, coming as they do from such a high and sincere source, is indeed gratifying although merited, for we have done everything in o.r power to hold a high place in our profession and as a citizen. Were it not that we have already promised the public we would be glad to give to our readers the scathing exposures of hypocrisy depicted by "Truth." We heartily agree with those newspapers who are condemning mud-slinging among the candi dates for State offices, and wher ever a candidate steps aside from the public questions to in dulge in abuse and vituperation, or throwing out slanderous hints he should be promptly called down and prohibited from con tinuing his speech. The candi date who undertakes to ride into office by manufacturing suspi cions, is unworthy the confidence of the people and should be made to feel his littleness- Before the people became educated politi cally there was some prospect of fooling them, but now the can didate who thinks he is fooling the people is only fooling him self. The attempts to cripple the influence Governor McSweeney has merited with the people are dismal failures. No Governor since the enactment of the dis pensary law has a clearer rec ord than has the present Chief Executive. It is utter folly for his opponents to try to make the people believe that Governor McSweeney has been indifferent towards the enforcement of the dispensary law. Wherever it was possible he has caused of fenders of the law to be prose cuted and raided: that there ex ists blind tigers in Charleston is no fault of his. It is the fault of the people of that city, who are almost unanimously opposed to the dispensary law. Governors Tillman, Evans and Ellerbe did not prevent the existence of blind tigers in that city even - with the aid of a metropolitan police. Why? It was an impos sibility, and it is impossible to enforce a prohibition law in the same city because the population favor the use and sale of stimu lants. The records show that Governor McSweenev has en forced the law in a business-like manner and with so little fric tion that not one drop of blood has been shed in the exec-utio-n of the law since he took t,., oath of office- The people will not be hoodwinked by designing politi cians, and they will consider well, before they repudiate a man who has merited their confidence and endorsement. There is more Catarrh in this setion of th( country than all other diseases put together, and until the last few years was supposed to be incurable. For a great many years doctors pro nounced it a local disease. and prescribed local remedies, and by constantly failinc to cure with~ tocal treatment. pronounced it inecurable. Science has proven catarrh to be a constitutional dlis ease. and therefore requires const ituti~onal treat ment. Hall-s Catarrh Cure, manufactured by F. J. cheney & Co.. Toledo.

Comments ( THE STATE CAMPAIGN In South Carolina does not seem to be conducted on that "high plane" which was expected, especially on the part of one of the candidates for gubernatorial honors. Mr. A. How ard Patterson of Baruwell, candidate for Governor, at the opening meet ing at Orangeburg precipitated a bit of mud-slinging by accusing Governor McSweeney of patronizing blind ti gers. failing to enforce the dispensary law and paving: for newspapers out of the contingent fund. As to the first charge Governor McSweeney promptly branded that contemptible allegation as absolutely false, on every occasion where it has been re peated by Patterson, who attempted to prove the charge by producing an article which originally appeared in the (eonee News sometime since, in which the names of certain gentle men were used to prove the allega tion, the names of the gentlemen al luded to as having given the infor mation being Mr T C. Duncan of Union, Mr. William Barnwell of Co lumbia, and a certain man named Green, formerly of Greenwood, now of Alabama, as alleged by the editor of said newspaper. The initials of the mythical Mr. Green are not given. Mr. Duncan and Mr. Barn well each denies that he made any such charge against Governor Me Sweeney. So Mr. Patterson's ridic ulous charge as to the blind tiger business falls flat. His other charge as to failure to enforce the dispen sary law is equally untenable, as it is a fact that cannot be successfully refuted that the dispensary law (without making invidious compari son against former administrations) has been more satisfactorily en forced, and with less friction, under Governor McSweeney's administra tion than ever before. Mr. Patterson's charge that the Governor is paying for newspapers out of the contingent fund is the smallest sort of clap-trap and unwor thy any aspirant to the high and honorable position of Governor of South Carolina, and is not only dem agogic, but a covert insinuation that it is an attempt upon the part of Governor McSweeney to subsidize the newspaper press of the State, and that in the Governor's opinion their editors are purchasable at a very cheap price. The sending of newspapers to t he executive department and being paid forout of the contingent fund was not inaugurated by Governor McSwee ney, but has been the custom for a number of years, and has never be I fore been found fault with or criti cised. It was deemed essential years ago, it seems, that the Governor should receive the newspapers of the State for his information, and if so, they should be paid for. A pub lisher could not be expected to send his paper to the Governor without charge. Mr. Patterson will have to take some other tack, if his prolific brain can find one, in order to injure the Governor and to forward his own po litical aspirations. He should stand upon his own merits, if he has any. Governor McSweeney has adminis tered the affairs of the State success fully, in a business-like manner. This fact his strongest opponents cannot deny; and he is making a clean, dignified canvass. lie de serves to succeed himself, and we be lieve the people of the State will see that he does so.--Laurens Herald. COL. HOQYT'S INTER~VIEW. Intate interviei" published in The Saeof te5th instant. Col J. A. Hoyt. the nominee of the prohibition party for Governor, in reference to the pledge or oath all candidates are required to make, construes the said oath to suit himself, and intimates his intention to make it, and that he can do so consci entiously. The pledge or oath is a provision of the State Demoeratic party. ineor-por ated in the Constitution and i-eads as follows: --The oath shall be taken by all candidates as follows: -As a candidate for the ofdice of - in the Democratic primary election. to be held on the last Tuesday in August. 1900. I here by pledge myself to abide the resuit of such pri. maryi and support the nominee thereof. and that I ami not, nor wiii I thecome. the candidate of any faction, either privately or publicly sug gested. other than the regular Democratic nom inaton.' " Is Col. Hoyt not the candidate of a faction'Y H'e certainly is. Is he not the nominee of the recent Prohibition State Conveintion? Most assuredly. Is the Prohibitionm party not a distinct party, a faction, with all the organized machinery of any other distinct party, with a State Chairman and State Ex ecutivc Committee? It certainly em braces all these political requisities. Was not a "Conference,'', or in plaim English, a Prohibition State Conven tion officially called for the purpose of nominating (not merely " suogesting") a candidate for Governor and Lieuten ant Governor? This fact cannot be denied. Nor can it be denied that Col. J. A. Hoyt was then and there made Ithe regular nominee of the Prohibition faction he cannot enter the race for Governor- without flagrantly violating the Constitution and Rules of the State Deroratic party. And being thus notinated, nominated in violation of party law, 'the matter of subscr-ibing to the required oath will be left to his own consir nee, of which he is the sole cus todian. Col. Hoyvt. in his interview, speaking of the oath in question, says: --Whatever the author of this, clause intended, he did not succeed in expressing him Iself so clearly that it was not susceptible of different constructions. and hence It was to be Iconstrued as telating to the general election and not the primary- Under this view I would 1have no hesitation in signing the pledge, nor did Mr. Brunson hesitate two years ago-" Col. Hoyt is strangely in error in say in that the clause of the Constitution regarding the oath to be taken by can didates can " be construed as relating to the general election and not the pri marv. We say he is strangely in error in such construction, because the pararaph above quoted plainly says: "As a candidate for- the office of , in the Democratic PRIMARY ELECTION. to be held on the last Tuesday in Aug., 1900." He is. agrain in errior when he sas that Mr. Brunson did not hesitate to sin the pledge two years ago. He did hesitate and never signed the required oath, but substituted a pledge of his own getting up. and worded it to suit his own conscience, which read as fol lows: I have tiled my pledge as a candidate. believ ing that I am not now, nor will I become a can Ididate for other than the regular Democratic nomination. i.e.. for the nomination if before the primary, or as the regular nominee if after the primary." 31r. Brunson subsequently withdirew this pledge and retired from the race, on the sole ground that he could not conscientiously subscribe to the oath required: that he was just as much the nominee of a faction after the action of the Prohibition Executive Committee in withdrawing the nominee, and trying to undo what the Convention h-ad done. as fle was befoie it acted. It seems, however, that Col. Hoyt tikes a different view~ from i. Brun on as to the test of conscience in imak nr the oath requiired bv' all canudidates. -a -urens Herald.' Since Gover-nor M1eSweene-v's imes sae to to the legislature last January a systemnatie efoirt has been made to be little his administr-ation, and of late since the announcements of the candi dates have appeared, this effort has ex tended to the point of malignant de famation. When it was thought that Governor MIcSweeney might come out in that famous message for local option certain newspapers wvere mighty sweet on him. They held him up as an ex )f the Press. I emplary Governor. and the public was led to believe that they had found im ''Little 1aek" a manI who ran the ex ecutive departmeut smoothly and sue ecssfullv. who knew how to handle the State constables, who knew how to find suitable men for appointment in the public service, who knew how to run the gubernatorial office in a business like way. and a man who knew how to keep his nose out of other people's business. But MeSweeney differs with some people on the liquor question. Ie is not willing to dance toward high license. He will not take his cue from the lordly High-Muck-a-Muck. the Columbia State. and now as there is a little dim rift of hope for high lieen,e in Col. Hoyt's candidacy. MoSweeny. with his devotion to duty. and high sense of responsibility and successiul methods is to be sacrileed to a high license dream. We do not entirely agree with Gov. MeSweeney on the liquor question. but we are not after selecting untried men simply because they agree with us on this or any other one or half a dozen moral questions of the day. We have the best of reasons to believe that 3MeSwaeenev. as Gover nor. will enforce the law. be it prohibi tion. dispensary or high license. He has no legislative authority, and ran neither change an old law nor pass a new one. Let the people of the State instruct their representatives how they would have them vote on the liquor question. A majority of the legislators must settle it. and it matters not how settled, whatever law may be adopted on the subject. McSweeney. as Governor I can be counted on to enforce it. and that is the kind of a Governor every lover of law and order should strive to have. It is too late now, even for cam paign purposes, to try to hoodwink the people by berating Governor McSween ey's record. The people know he is just as efficient, as our chief executive. to day as he was last December and they will not be stunpeded away from the man who has done so well as Gover nor and fairly won his place as the favorite now in the race. They are throwing the usual campaign mud at "*Little Mack." but he is a "sure w ner."-Anderson Daily Mail. NO t'NiHOLY ALIAANCE. ''The South Carolina Baptist. publi shed at Greenwood, may be a prohibi tion paper and a well-wisher of Col. Hoyt. anud as a denominational paper it ma' be constrained to make nominal opposition to the dispensary: but our reading of an editoral in its issue of last Wednesday inclines us to believe that while embracing the Colonel it is also seeking to smite him under the fifth rib." This is from the Columbia State. We are a prohibitionist of the strictest sect, and are up to none of the tricks of that paper. The State em braces ('ol. HoVt With the hope of squeezing the life out of prohibition. and it would sacrifice him at. any cost, if by doing so it could only carry its point. Why is The State espousing Col. Hoyt's eandidacy? Is it through an honest purposey The State would hardly claim to be a prohibitiou news paper. Our concern. as expressed in that editoral. was the fear that the liquor policy held by The State news paper would prevail in the election of the prohibition ticket. We only meant to warn Col. Hovt and the friends of prohibition against such pretended friends. We must carry the State for prc Ubition. but w'e must avoid unholy alliances (?) and have ourselves in such a position when it is done. that wve can hold what we have gained. This will never be done if the Columbia State can help itself.-The South ('arolina Baptist. The State campaign opened at Or angeburg last Wednesday and since that time several meetings have been held in the lower counties. The fight is on in earnest betwveen prohibition and dispensary and strong efforts will be brought to beai' by the ft'iends of each. as the election will doubtless de cide the fate of one oi' the other. The greatest interest seems to be centered in the race between Hoyt and M1eSween ev and both have so far made a clean fight. Patterson has endeavored to create an interest by mudslinging but has lost more than lie has gained. Gary has conducted his campaign on a high plane and has doubtless gained some fiends. Mr. Hoyt is miaking a good fight and is receiving the hieai'ty sup port of the Prohibitionists, and if hard work counts hie will make a good show when the votes are counted in August. MIcSweeney is making the race on his record, and while "Bunk" Patterson is assailing him on every side. he is mak inga good impression with the people over the State. So fat' he has been the favorite at all the meetings and this is a point in his favor, as the other can didates seem to be making a combined fight against him. His chances of re election grow brighter as the campaign progrsses.-Honea Path Chronicle. A SECOND-HAND STORY. In one of his first speeches in this campaign A Howard Patterson, Esq., charged that Gov. MeSweeney patro nized blind tigers and drank liquor at the Merchants and Manufacturers club in Cohnmbia. He gave as his authority Mr. Verner of the Oconee News. Gov. MSweeney (denied the charges emi phatically. Now conies Mr. Vernoi' and says that lie tiid not know of his own knowledg~e about the charge but he had heard several men say so. M r. William Barnwvell of Columbia was one. T. C. Duncan was another and a man named Jones who once lived in Green wood but is now in Alabama. Mir. Dun can writes that once in conver'sation he remarked that he had seen a copy of Gov. McSweeney's Message to the last General Assembly befor'e it was read. It was exhibited by a gentleman to whom McSweeney gave it in one of the clubs. He had never met Govei' nor McSweeney and could say nothing about the blind tiger patironage of his own knowledge. Mi'. Bai'nwell was just as indefinite in an interview pub lished theIgother day. Jones has not been heard from. The whole story seems to have been second oi' thiird'hand.-.\hheville Me dium. The State newspaper' chai'ges the South C'ai'olina Baptist with attempting to bushwhack Col. Hoyt. No. contenm porary, we are only trying to save C.ol. Hoyt fr'om the Columbia State, the are'h bushwaker of South Carolina. In our attenmpted discussion of State and with the State newspap~er a few months ago, it fled from the tield and bushwhacked so lively that wve named it "the bushwhacker." The State is still at its old1 tr'ade. It is supp)1ortinig Col. Hoyt for' a sinster political putr pose, an'd that purpose is to destr'oy the dispensary first and finally to defeat prohibition. It is well knowvn that the Columbia State is an enemy to both the dispensai'y and prohibition.
