The State campaign opens to day, and from now on the canoi dates for the various State offices which have opposition will be galivaiting over the country tell ing the "dear people" why they should select them. The princi pal in- - vest will be in the race for governtr. There are a number of good men seeking this high position and of course each one would like to be the favored one. Col. Featherstone is an old timer in the campaigning line, and knows how to say things that will make his hearers laugh, he has always on hand some good anec dotes which he gets off with good effect. Lieutemnant-Governor McLeod is alsb a man who can catch the ear of the crowd with his pleas entries. He is a good speaker and in our opinion will acquit himself well on the stump. Col. Blease is without doubt one :,f the best speakers for these occasions in the State, having had experience and being equipped with a thorough knowledge of the tiscal conditionsof the government, and being a close student of the affairs of the State. will till his speeches wth vigorous comments and crit icism. Col. Blease made a splen did run for governor two years ago, and we do not doubt but that his friends will stand by him in the oresent race. Mr. F. H. Hyatt is a new man in the political arena, heretofore he has aligned himself with the good roads, and husiness devel opment campaigns. He is a high ly reputed busmness man, one of the business leaders in the State and recognized as a splendid fmiancier, and a good speaker. Maj. J. G. Richards while never before a candidate for a State of-n fice, is well known by reputation for his work in the legislature, -where he has served ma.ny years. Maj. Richards made a reputation by his persistent efforts to have 2the lien law repealed, his leader ship in the 'tights for the State dispensary when that institution was being assailed, and when the dispensary ship was sinking he reained true and loyal until its hulk had disappeared, and then h. e leaped from it on tothe Pro hibition raft, upon which he has ~assumed a leadership. This can be truly said of Richards, it mat ters not which cause he espouses, 'he is ardent in his support. The next of special interest is the race for railroad commission er. Hon. 0. C. Scarborough of Clarendon will in our opinion be the leading candidate. He has served two terms in tbe legisla ~ ture, and while in that body dem Sonstrated his ability to grasp Squestions which affect the traffic conditions. He was the chairman of theariculturalcommittee, and through this committee he was - enable to secure legislation which gave great protection to the farmn ers. Mr. Scarborough has made a study of freight rates, railroad schedules, and we believe the people at larg recognize his thorough flttness and will give him their support. He has oppo sition from Colleton-and Green ville, also from Columbia, but while all of his opponents are good men they are not so well qud*ified for this particular place as is Scarborough, in our opinion. The adjutant general's office is another one of the places where there is somewhat of a scramble for, but since the incumbent has demonstrated his utter untitness, and his assistant has acted so silly, we will take for ours one of the other aspirants, which we have not as yet decided upon. Now what will be the issues? Are these candidates going to try to pussy-toot their way into dnice by making as little sound as pos sible? The tendency in some quarters is to steal bases, as they~ say in base ball, that is, to say as1 little and be as indefinite as pos sible relying upon the prehimi nary work that has been done in advance by the aadresses at pic nics, Sunday school celebrations, and similar occasions. H owever this will not satisfy all. It is our oninion. the masses will not consent for any candidate1 to go into office straddling any is-i sue, or with a hush policy, they will demand that he speak out loud and clear his attitude upon! those matters which are in their minds. No. it needs no Solomion' to discern the tendency to xlay the hush game on the liquor ques tion, but arc glad to see Col. Featherstone who poses as the Prohibition leader havethe frank ness in his Sum meriand speech to make the question of Prohibi tion and Local Option the theme of his address, not so. however. with some of the others. Richards -w.e think it was who deprecated the question being iniected into the discussion. Featherstone wvas right. the liquor issue is not set tled in South Carolina, nor will it be until it is settled right, but unt then, there s no us for as pirants fr office to try to mislead. either the Prohibitionists or the Local Optionists. W.thin the past few days we learn that a certain candidate who has been regarded the product of a portion of the prohibition ele ment. hascontided tosome friends that .e is aL local optionist, but if elected he wil! ote for state-wide nrobibition. The friends does not quite understand how en- can be a Local Optionist, at the same time a state wide Prohibitionist, nor can we understand. The two questions are like oil and water, they will not mix. and no man can be for both. Therefore our friend Richards should not deprecate the injec tion of the liquor question by Col. Featherstone, for it is upon that very issue Featherstone brought himself into prominence in th State. and it is with that question he has been entertaining thous ands at schools, Sunday schools, and churches. until he has made the subject a part of the thought of the people of the State: take it out of their minds, and sure enough it would leave the people to select their governor with nothing but his looks to decide by, and our friend Richards can not afford to take such a chance with McLeod, Blease, Feather stone and Hyatt. for each andl every one of them have it on him for looks. The same situation remains in the cou:.ties: there are no divid ing issues so far as we have been I able to ascertain, if the liquor question is eliminated: therefore the question naturally arises, why should there be any conten tion, and why should not the peo ple be let alone and make their selection without certain men be ing so active in behalf of their choice, and in their activity in dulge in all manner of disparag ing hints against the man they are trying to defeat. If these men who are so much interested in bringing about the defeat of an announced candidate, they should have the honesty and candor to let those they are talking to, know whether their opposition is based upon some cowardly per sonal spleen, personal agrandize ment, (an axe to grind) or is it because they have knowledge that makes the candidate they are op posing ntit: if they are in po ssession of such knowledge, it is their duty to make the same known in an open manly way. It is due the people that they should, in thE- proper way, be informed whether or not a candidate offer ing himself has been guilty of any condue: which would make his election an imposition. It has frequently happened in he past, and we have bad some hints of it in the present cam paign. that scurvey tactics are being used by men who are en deavoring to accomplish the d feat of a certain candidate; these mten do their work by presummng upon the ignorance of those whose minds they are trying to poison. they tell them some cock and bull "hory which they conjure up in theiri own imagination, just enough to create a suspicion, and by this means poison the minds of those who may listen to them. We know of one of these gadflies who ad better take warning and de sist, lest he wake up some morn ing fighting to save that which be has accumulated so rapidly. Tore was a time when men re sorted to violence to punish his slanders, but that day is passing away, it has been found that a more effective way to still a libel us tongue, is a resort to the law: he punishment is more effective, for men who indulge in slander 2ave little care for their hides, ut when their purse is tovshed heir heart strings snap. BAD TACTICS. There has reached us from Mr. . H. Hyatt, of Comumbia. an anoneement of his candidacy for governor, and enclosed with this announcement is his photo raph. We can stand M r. Hatt's announcement and can ear with the photograph, ut when it came to th e ther enclosures,-letters from Eev. E. 0. Watson. pastor of the Washington Street Methodist hurch, and another from Rev. . H. Thacker. we regarded it the imit. Mr. Hyatt is no doubt a very liberal contributor to the ethodist church, and his pastor, Rev. E. 0. Watson, no doubt is his friend. We will go farther and say, that Mr. Hyatt is a good hurchman, as well as a good usiness man. iut when ha in okes the aid of his religious deC nmination for his campaign to political office. he and his friends make a mistake: if there is anything that tends to bring. church into trouble it is for its pastor to use the influence of his lerical robes to uruge his co-de iominationalists into a seeming ompact for the support of one of them politically. or to, in any way call upon a free people to vote for any man because of be ing a member of his church. We know Mr. Hyatt and have also met the pastor of the Wash ington Street Methodist church, both are good men. but both are aking a fatal error in invoking h in!!uence of the Methodist hurch for votes. In some coun tries in the dlays tha t ha ve passed. the nriests not content with iairs spiritual, they endeavored to control affairs temiooraL anid to dominate the politica! affairs: they succeeded for a time. but only for a time. When they had the temporal affairs in their hands, governments became des potic. corrupt. and unbearable, with the result. that the priests were hurled from power, and ever since, it has been-i the warn n to all countries andl~ nationis. never to let church and state getj mix1 ed agin.\ An, whenerer it is attempted the people reserlt and repudiate it. We recall in a national contest. a speech in the city of New York. the expres sion. Run, Romanism. and Re bellion was used by a distin guished minister, intended to aid M r. lilaine. the effect was fatal t,) Mr. laine's cause. and so will Pastor Watson's letter for the aid of the Methodist church be fatal to Mr. Hyatt's cause. Those who will resent it most will be Mr. Hyatt's co-denomination alists-the Methodists. Theodore Roosevelt, Jr., was married last Monday, in Nexv York to Miss Eleanor B. Alex ander. The couple will live in San Francisco where the young man will go into business. If the price of meat continues to go up the newly mated couple will have some hard experiences, we fear. The newspapers have it now that -'Jim" Williams. a former Greenville boy, is to wed Miss Ethel Roosevelt. Williams was quite a favorite at the White House during President Roose velt's residence there, and he seems to have an entree to the Roosc gelt home at Oyster Bay. Well, here's luck to you "Jim." At the last momentI Barney B. Evans has entered the race for Attorney General against Hon. J. Fraser Lyon. We sincerely hope Mr. Lyon will remain in his office. and attend to the duties thereof. The people throughout the State will take care of him. in fact, they will think more of him if he refuses to get into a controversy. Ex-President Roosevelt is now an editor, and his writings will be watched with more interest than that of any other who at tempts editorial work. It would be great if the hunter could be induced to give up magazine work for that of the newspaper. Editor Roosevelt at the newspa per tripod would set the world a moving with his pen. As edi tor of the Outlook, the ex-presi dent will aid greatly to the sub scription lists of that splendid magazine. The cost of the Boyd-Brock controversy was indeed an ex pensive, and a disgusting hum bug. If there is any way to make these rival principals pay the expense it ought to be done, for we cannot see why the tax payers of the State should have the burden put upon them. The taxpapers have enough to pay without aiding in the whims of an -incapitated old man or the aspirations of a youngster whose fondness for playing soldier has led him to forget to make a proper accounting when hand ling the pe'ople's money. The death of Judge C. G. Dantz er, of Orangeburg. is a great loss to the State of South Caro lina, not only to the bench and bar, but to the masses as well. We regarded him one of the fnest characters that has loomed up in public life in man~y years, a man with a clear understand ing of the law, a thorough knowledge of those things which are needed to make a State. and with that bigness of heart that made him easy, but of respectful approach. Judge Dantzler's death is a sad blow to the country. A just judge, a scholar. a gentle man and a patriot has gone to his reward. There will be a good roads ally in Charleston on July 12th. nder the auspices of the Cbar eston Automobile Club. It is ex pected that all of those inter sted in automobiles and good roads will attend this rally, and the club will provide a nice en trtainment for the visitors. The program so far arrangred is as follows: Convention from 11, a. m. to 2p. mn.. trip to the Isle of Palms: 3 p. in., drawing seine: p. mn., a surf bath; 5 p. mn., fish ry: 6 p. mn., hop and concert: 8 p. in., visiting autosts will, on Wednesday be escorted on their omeward trip, to the county imits. This will be a fine turn ut for the autoists and through ut the State and we hope Clar mdon will figure larg'ely in the onvention, and will be well rep resented at the good roads move uent. Get your machines in hape for the Charleston convyen The letter of Zach McGhee in Sundays State is so far at vari nce with those of other- corres-i ondents about the Roosevelt eception, that we think ach must have taken a slumber n Pitt streetamong the celestials e is the only correspondent that fails to find enthusiasm for Roosevelt on his airrivai home from Elba. and his attempts to nake small of what must have een one of the most remarkable lemonstrations iever ac:corded a riate citizen. that his readers nust wonder wh-at ails the Thme States Washington scribe. Thet bore-coming of Col. Roosevelt was in keeping with the rec-ep ions accorded th is A mer-icani lsewere in the world, and r ardess of par-ty ailiatioins it as mete and propuer for a united elcome to a distinguished A mer ican whose utterances abroad sherever lie spoke breathed true Americanism, and found a avorable response in every merican breast. Therefore, hen a iittle space-filler sends ni auchi rot to his nlewspape-r lhe siold be mnade to alprec-iate that there arec other- correcspond uts who represents Democrati newspapers who hav-e sense nough to give a true report of President Taft has signed tue state-hood bill. which gives tc this Union two additional states., New Mexico and Arizona, here tofore territories. The claim is that Arizc-na will be a Demo cratic state.wbile the chances are about even with New Mexico. the latter is now Republican. Tlht. effort for these two states haS been a long drawn battle: those Icamoring for statehood would put the blame on the R"epu bhcans for not giving that which they were craving, and when there was a democratic administration the claimants for statehood had no comfort with the Democrats. therefore neither party can b< censured for the long delay. bnt now that statehood has come t< these territories from the Repub. lican party. the probability is that party will have the strong est hold upon them. Pay no attention to the rmjar who tells you the liquor ques tion is no issue. It is an issue. But some men are afraid of it. They dare not come out oper and clear with a positive.- d.-lar ation. Hence, they would tr. to keep the issue down, then if elected. vote contrary to the wishes of those whose votes the3 are catering for. The issue is clear and distinct between Prohibitior and Local Option. A candidate through his heelers, should nol buncoe the people by having them say he is for local optior to those who think that way, and for prohibition to the advo cates of that principle. Let th( candidate make a positive dec laration either tor Prohibition or Local Option. He cannot 'e for both, nor can he be for Local Option at home, but when it comes to a vote in the General Assembly go for Prohibition. If he declares his attitude over his signature in the public prints there can be no misunderstand ing. There is a strong probability of the Johnson-Jeffries fight or fhe fourth of July being stopped by the interierence of the Gov ernor of California. So far as we are concerned we hope the tight will come off on schedule time and that the nigger will put his antagonist out of busi ness in short order. This prize ight game is nothing but a mecca for gamblers,pickpockets, bad women and the most vicious type of human society. The whole gang, promoters. patrons, principals and backers shoul. be doing time in a penitentiary or be made to work on the public highways for the balance of their ratural lives. Ever since the tough, Jeffiries and the Nigger, Johnson, signedl up to fight, the newspapers have been full of ac counts of their sayings and do. ings, and it is read with the same zest by the youth of the land, as are the Diamond Dick, and other wild western tales in chear novels; it is indeed demoralizing literature of the worst type, sc we so say let the measly thing come on and be over with so the daily newspapers will give their readers information wbich will be more instructive. $100 Reward, $100.
