POLITICs, NOT PRINCIPLE.
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.__ _ _

SIMPLE STORY.
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. Gover-nor- McSweeney

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

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
