We cannot understand how good men, men who we know are advocating Colonel Hoyt's elec tion because they believe he is standing for a principle, can any longer doubt that Colonel Hoyt's candidacy is not for principle, but for office. If it were for principle, there would be no shifting of position. He would not at one place say that he pre ferred dispensary to license, and at other places demand the de struction of the dispensary. He would if he were standing for a holy principle, demand prohibi tion pure and simple and stand by it if he knew he would not carry a county in the State. A close observer of his speech es will detect Colonel Hoyt's pol dics by the way he panders to the crowds he faces, if a strong dispensary crowd, he prefers that system to license, and will promise if elected to enforce it better than it is being enforced now, if a prohibition crowd, he protests, with hands upraised -in holy horror against the State making him a partner to the whiskey business, and that the dispensary should, be stamped out of existence, if the crowd is in doubt, he does not -want to destroy the dispensary, but sim ply wants to restrict its sale for legitimate purposes. In other words he wants votes. As an example of the way the supporters of Colonel Hoyt are advocating a "holy principle" we have taken the following ex tracts from the Greenville News a warm advocate of Colonel Hoyt. Any fear that the election of Col. Hoyt would abolish the dispensary at once and open the way for the re turn of open bar-rooms is entirely groundless. In the first place, the gov ernor cannot alter the law in any way, and his recommendation to that effect would have little weight with legisla tors who disagree with him. While the election of a prohibition ist as governor would not abolish the dispensary law, it would have a good m.oral effect by putting the disapproval of the people upon the State's engag ing in the liquor business. and woufd tend to make liquor-drinking not so popular a pastime as it is. It will thus be seen that they are really not after upholding a "holy principle" but that they are trying to~ catch votes "a comin' and a gwine." They want to fool the church members who are being electioneered by the preachers to vote for Hoyt, and they also want to fool those who favor the dispensary. THINK. There are a class of ma so blinded with prejudice against the dispensary that they will support anything that opposes it, even if they have to give their support to an enemy of the State institutions of higher learning. We cannot understand what the friends of Winthrop, Clemson, South Carolina College and the Citaf el are thinking about. Do they not know that Colonel Hoyt has always been a leader in mak ing a fight against the State col legesi' He has always been an ultra-denominational college ad vocate. With Colonel Hoyt in the gubernatorial chair, and a legislature of his way of think ing, our State institutions of higher learning are in danger of ruin. There has never been a movement to cripple these insti tutions of learning but that it has had the warm support of Colonel Hoyt: we are therefore surprised to find men professing friendship for those glorious in stitutitions, helping Colonel Hoyt and the other enemy's of the col leges to get into position to strike them a fatal blow. We think it the duty of every friend of the Citadel, South Carolina College, Winthrop and Clemson to agitate this matter, that those who have permitted themselves to be lulled to sleep by the li prevent the ruthless hand of the destroyers from bringing ruin to the institutions that should be the pride of every citizen in the State. If the Prohibitionists will be as energetic in upholding the dispensary law, as they are in trying to destroy it, we would have a sincere demonstration of their earnestness and as near prohibition as the most ardent Prohibitionist could want. The trouble is. if they were to help -nforce the dispensary law, the advocates of the law will benetit by its popularity. and the politi cal-prohibs see no office attach inents in the thing for them. The financial condition of this county has never been better, every debt paid and over twelve hundred dollars in the treasury, the tax levy reduced one mill less than last year, with the finest kind of a prospect for a still further reduction of, from one and a half, to two mills more. Think of it, we are out of debt and Clarendon's paper is worth one hundred cents on the dollar. The day for discounting county paper fifty per cent is passed, and the result is our officers can get work done for the county on a cash basis. This is what we call legislating for the people's interests, and this is why we warn against sending revenge seekers to the legislature. The Prohibitionists of Flor ence concluded not to put out a legislative ticket for fear it may weaken Colonel Hoyt's chances for governor. Among the par ticipants of the conference was a minister who seemed to be very conspicuous and active. He was one of the advocates of not put ting any obstructions in the way of Brother Hoyt's election. We may be wrong, but it strikes us, the preacher would have been at better business if he had been going about asking alms for the poor and needy, instead of votes for Colonel Hoyt or any other politician. "Let us elect Col onel Hoyt" seems to be idea of a political heaven with a certain grade of politicians and preach ers.__ _ _ How's This ?

The Form of a Child-The Heart of a Hero How a; Ambitions Orphan Boy Rose from the Humblest Station in Life to the Highest Position in the Councils of the State. Away back in the fifties a vessel puts into Charleston harbor. For days it has wrestled with~ the waves of te broad Atlantic, and its passengers are rejoiced to see the sunny land to which starry-eyed Hop e has pointed. Two passengers, yes, three, especially interest us. A young man in whose eyes burn truth and fidelity, and a young woman who holds by the hand a slender, dIeate boy about tour yearS of age. It is easy to see that the, three are father, mother. son. They have left their old home, hope whispering, ambition urging that in this the new world, they will hlew out of life's rough circumstance a shining future. The little boy is the center, from and toward which their every thought revolves. To educate this boy so that he may be a blessing~ to them and his adopted country is their hourly prayer. Their little homne is a happy one, for peace and love and plenty abound. But God knows best-"He doeth all things well." Suddenly the dark days come. The noble young father is stricken down with yellow fever, and the widow and the father less commence the hard, cruel battle of life. Dont be impatient, my dear read er, I am not telling you an idle story-, but a truly true one, and I must needs begin at the beginning.I Well, before that delicate little hoy has reached the tender age of ten, he is struggling for a livelihood. Out in the streets he sells newspapers-in the biting March winds, the sultry August days-this child, this little one, works for his daily bread: The form of a child-the heart of a hero: Now ye mothers who toil with your little boy's lessons every evening, how would it be if your little Jim mie, or Willie, or Arthur, or Johnnic were thrown out upon the world at such a tender age? I see your faces pale as you instinctively press your boy to your heart. Read this little story carefully, and your patriotism will have a fresh access of zeal. There is no other country upon the globe where your boy has such a God-given chance to hew out in the temple of fame a name for himself. Something over a hundred years ago, Benjamin Franklin entered Bos ton with enough money to buy a breakfast of bread. Every school boy is familiar with his history. He was an humble printer, yet today the entire civilized world knows hiis name and flashes from pole to pole by that mighty power which lie dis covered. THE NEws BOY. But to return to our little newsboy. The Charleston society people sweep by-perhaps buying a paper, per haps not. What does it matter, the success or failure of a newsboy? But ah some day, mayhap, those same fine people's grandsons mnay be sent to our capital city as pages ini the Legislative halls of South Carolina, and lo! when the Governor's Mess age is read, it is written by that same little barefoot newsboy. Ah, little fellow, with the formi of a child and the heart of a hero, surely since thos March winds blew and those August suns beat upon your little head. you have striven manfully. "Seest thou a man diligent in business, lhe shall stand before kings:" Aye, in South Carolina lhe shall be a king among THr SEWs BOY BECOMES -OVEfNOR. Now that you have already guessed who this brave little newsboy is. he shall be formally introduced to you -Miles B. McSweeney, Governor of South Carolina, by the' grace of God and true Democratic votes. There is many a clever boy whose manhood fails to come Lip to our ex pectations. Let us see about our (jovernor. let the "fierce white light' that ever beats about a public man envelope him. While selling papers our hero meets with a friend and commences to work as a printer in his office. All over the world the good God has scattered just suc; no ble men and women whose mighty hearts and tender vision cause them to be stretching forth a helping hand to the struggling soul. Perhaps it is only a cheerful word, but that glad word is a golden bridge over raging waters. He completes his appren ticeship as a job printer and a schol arship for merit is offered him in Washington and Lee University, but owing to a lack of means, he was able to attend only part of one session. So young McSweeney came back to South Carolina and began printing in Columbia. He served Columbia Typographical Union as correspond ing secretary and afterwards as pres ident. He served as secretary of the Phoenix Hook and Ladder Company for a number of years. In 1876 he was an active Democrat and did faithful work for the party in that never-to-be-forgotten time of peril and strife. About this time Mr. Mc Sweeney moved to N inety-Six in our county then. He belongs to old Ab beville county after all. He came to Ninety-Six with a capital of $65 and purchased a second hand press and outfit for $50, paying 855 cash as first payment. FRANKLIN AND M'SWRENEY. Like Franklin, he worked early and late. Unlike Franklin,-who ate his bread on the streets, M-Sweeney went to bed supperiess, because when he went to Ninety-Six, he was unable to buy three meals a day. Like Franklin, success came to him, and now the boy who once was able to buy only two meals a day is well pro vided for, and he has no tear of be coming a charge upon his country. The people of the State of his nativ itv give him their heart's affection, while they bestow upon him the highest honor which any people h-an confer upon any man. Ambitious to win the respect of his fellow citizens. honest in the performance of every duty. courag~eous to defend the hum-. blest, while able to resist the designs~ and the power of the great anid influ ential, he has given to every South Carolinian a good Governor who ad ministered the affairs of the office without fear or favor. Without yielding to the mob or cringing to the social pow-er of any set of men, he has nobly done his duty. He is a man of the people and however much he may have been elevated his heart is tue~ to all. He loves the honest laborer and his hand is ever stretched out to help the strugglin;g br-ot her to higher and better things. August, 1879, the first issue of the Hampton Guardia" app~eared and it has been published ever since by Mr. McSweeney. He has taken a deep and abiding interest in the dev-elop ment of his town and county. He is regarded as a line business man of! wide public spirit in regard to build ing churches and school houses. ie. has served as mayor of Hampton for ive terms, and as national delegate to Democratic convention three t imes. f r. McSwceney takes a deep inter est in military matters and after his election to the Legislature in 1894 lhe was chairmau of the committee on military. He has also beena a trustee of the South Carolina College and a member of the board of visitors of the CitajM, anmd by vir-tue of his of lice, is chairman of both boards at present. Hie is a member of the Order of Knights of Honor and the Knights of Pythias and has been honored byf both organizations. In 18965 he was elected Lieutenant ioveror by a handsome majority; and e-elected in 1898 without oppo sition, and on the death of Governor . H. Ellerbe in June, 1899, he took the oath of officee as Governor, and has since discharged the duties of the office with dignity and line busi ness ability. FAITrHF-UL STEWARDSHIP. His administration of the State's fairs has been so successful that even his political enemies cannot p)ick a tlaw! in his record. He nowv. as an endorse rnent of his faithful stewardship asks n election to a full ter-m at the hands f his fellow citizens. In a mnanner overnor MIcSweeney belongs to Abbe-! rile county. She made a man of him in that Ninety Six put him on histi ancial feet. Abbeville must stand by him in the coming election. She can ot afford to turn her back on her dopted son even if another of her sons is in the r-ace.

Some peculiar people argue that when a man succeeds to this office from that of Lieut-Gov ernor this custom should not be observ ed. This shows simply a love of argu ing about nothing. or to express it more elegantly, it is the ditference between tweedle-dee and tweedle dum. LI EUTENANT-GOVERNORS NOT FIGURE IIEADS Our lieutenant-governors are not mere tibure-heads. From the very na ture of the otice. only men of ability can till it. This officer must presiue over the Senate, a body of able and trained public men, generally: many of whom are firstelass lawyers. (We Tillmanites had a lot of the rust rubbed off our political spectacles when old ten w:as running for governor. \Ve are nearly as sharp. or to use tine Ian guage. we are about as good diplomats as the antis, and there is no use what ever in Irving to get us to urgue about how many angels ran flance upon ithe point of a eambie needle. We a:re sawing wood now and will vote for le Sweeney at tiie first, and if necessary, at the s cond primary. as sure as h: - seed live's., THE GOtOD OLD RULE SHOULD HOLD GOO) TODAY. It has been the invariable custom to grive the rove rnor a second term as an endorsement of a good administration of the atfairs of the State. This was so well understood that there was nothing but routine work at the former nomi nating convention for second term until Tillman came in, then the hounds of hate and fury. malice and all other kinds of manners were let loose, and we were entreated to relegate Tillman to obscurity-send him back to his farm. disgraced in the eyes of the world. Did we send old Ben home? Did we do what Gonzales and the gang desired us to do? I think I hear the rebel yell. "No. no: never, never." We gave him a second term. and then sent him to the United States Senate, where he has vindicated our faith in his abili ty and won a national reputation for himself. WE OWE M'SWEENY ANOTHER TERM. In simple justice and common decency we owe Governor MeSweeney another term.' Our State cannot even then afford to lose the services of such an able man. Mr. Gary also has ability you will answer. Granting this, but why. when it has been the custom of a centurv to allow a second term: why should we remove the old landmarks now when our State has been more prosperous than for many years past? The phenomenal development of South Carolina in manufacturing marks an era in our industrial history that as tonishes the world. We are able to state that notwithstanding the ashes and desolation of war. South Carolina steps forth second only to Mlassachusetts in the number of her spindles. This splendid fact alone proves that the pres ent governor has the confidence of bus iness men at home and abroad. We have tried this man--why take one with less experience. NICK M'CASLAN'S DILEMMA. Mr. Gary is all right for another time, but just now he is like the little Secedor boy down on Long Cane that "Nick" McCaslan tells about. Nick and a can didate dined with a friend and they had fried chicken. Nick declares he didn't take a second piece. but that just as the candidate helped himself a second time there was a loud wail from behind the door. The gentleman of the house said. --What's the matter buddie? Buddie boo-hooed some. but finally blurted out. "Them darned fools is er eating upl all the fried chicken!" Bud die's comlpany manners did not sustain him long enough: in short. he was too nrevious --just so with tile gover'norsh ip. ee? Now as to the other candidate. We don't mean to mince matters but call a spade a spade. Prohibition is the Jfack-o'-lantern by whose flickering light Col. Hoyt would fain walk into the governor's chair. Prohibition is a lovely subject on paper and would mnake an Eden of our earth if it would work. But when vou see men wvho have been advocates of the open bar and who fought the dispensary bitterly, coming out with bugle and drum and Ilags and cheers for Hoyt, the prohibition candidate. is not it time to stop and think and ask yourself why and wherefore this unholy alliance between darkness and light, between temerance and intemperance. OIL AND WATER DO NOT MIN--BUT THE WHISKEY ELEMENT AND THE COLD WATER CROWD HAVE COME TO GETHER. Doth oil and water mix? No. sir. but whiskey and water are trying to mix in the follow'ing of th1is ticket, Col. Hoyt's friends and his paper have ad vocated high license, and all signs point to the fact that if we should get prohi bition it would be such a dismal failure that we would inevitably wind up with high license and open bars. All these significant things makes me think of Co]. Hoyt in connection with one of John Qu'iney Adam's anecdotes. Once upon a time there was a man who for some reason did not wish his motherless son to ever see or love a woman. Hence he brought the boy up on a country estate where all the servants even were men. Thus surrounded by men the boy grew to manhood, his fatherhoping thus to render him utterly indifferent to womankind. One day the fathem' took the son out walking beyond the pak gates of his country seat. They had not gone far before they met two very beautiful ladies. "What are those creatures. father?" the young man inquired excitedly. "Geese, my son." said the father, pulling the boy in the other direction. "simply geese. my son. "Well, father." said the son, "if God spares my life I mean to have one of those geese." SHALL THE BARS BE OPENED) IN 'THE NAME OF RELIGION? We respect the opinion of convictions of the true. bona fide prohibitionists, but there are those calling themselves so. who are wolv'es in sheep's clothing. who see in thus splitting the Demo eratic vote in our State a chance to get back into power and have open bar rooms all ov'er the State: for they fore see distinctly that under lprohibition the illicit sale of whiskey will increase. and that to avoid anarchy our people will be compelled to resort to licensed bar-rooms. Then ther'e would be tive more years of plenty for the bar-keep es. They would flock into the State by thousands, to say nothing of those alreadly her'e. Then they wvould have a free and open chance to ruin that boy of yours-that boy whose education ~nd'training have been yours and his mother's daily thought and care for years-and now just when his bright 'oung mind is expanding, showing forth the promise of a glorious manhood. you a'e preparing to open the bars in the name of religion. How many wicked deices rum has to entice its victims. SAFEGUARDS 01" TH- E DISPFNSARY. Under the dispensary lawv your boy can not btuy whiskey. and if you keep him off the streets at night the cx. and would-be bar'-keeper's, will not get a chance to ruin him-that boy upon whom all your hopes are centered upon whose arm you expect to lean in your old age. Alas, for your rosy dreams, day by diiy. Yiour boy)0 changes. it is slow but sure.' for by free dr'inks and cigarettes the fatal habit is fasten d upon him which changes him from a healthy lad into a spindling long necked sallow wreck. DELUDED SOUL.S. Gone is his splendid young str'ength - his high aspirations. His only ambi tion now is to wvear' a laundried collar' and loaf. Why has this heart-breeding sorrow come to you? Because you thought it your duty as a member of the church to vote for prohibition. Why ministers urged it. Christian people urged it? Yes, and your church ex piessly commands you to upholds the dispensary law has h-en ilaecu ttpn I our statute books by wise and thought ful statesmen after trying all other plai to restrict the sale of intoxicauts.
