The State is no doubt a strong newspaper, and soime of its edi toriaLs are well balanced, but when it does strike one of its hob bies there is no teiling where it will stop. Its attempt to show the inconsistency of Col. Feather stone is about the weakest of its many attempts to bolster up its position. Like The State. we fa vor local option but because we favor this mode of handling a knotty problem is no reason for us to think those who differ are not as sincere. We think the reasons given by Col. Feather stone for favoring local option four and again two years ago are sound, and they do not show in consistency when at this time he thinks prohibition is the proper solution of this problem. We think Mr. Featherstone is mistaken but sincere. A man could be an ardeLt Prohibitionist, and believing the time not right for his views to prevail, could take the next nearest thing to it "as a means to an end," and still be a consistent Prohibitionist. therefore the efforts ot the State to discredit Col. Featberstone will fail because the people are not seeking after technicalities: those who want to support a pro hibition candidate for Governor will get their wishes gratitied by casting their ballots for Richards, Hyatt or Featherstone. all three are Prohibitionists. Hon. Charles 'A. Smith of Timmonsville, candi date for Lieutenant Governor, is running as a Prohibitionist, and Mr. DuVall of Cheraw. is for the same position as a Local Option ist. The Local Option candidates for Governor are T. G. McLeod of Bishopville, and Cole L Blease of Newberry, if a vpter wants to vote for local option and he votes for a prohibitionmst for governor and a local optionist for lieuten ant-governor, he hedges, as they say in cotton speculation. But the question we started out to dis euss is the consistency of Mr. Featherstone. and The State's ef forts to discredit the man because he said four and two years ago that Local Option was the thing, and so advised his followers, but now he thinks the conditions war rant the taking of the whole loaf. This is nota matter of consistency but it is a matter of judgment with which we do not agree, and we go farther and express the opinion should prohibition legis lation prevail at the next session of the general assembly the cause of temperance will be thrown back, because we are satistied the public mind has not been sufti ciently awakened to have that en forcement of the law necessary to make it a success, and besides, the people are already tax-bur dened, to put an additional tax on them to enforcea prohibition law is a matter likely to be resented;I unless the State provides a con stabulary to police the liquor traffc we do not see how the law can be enforced; we agree with CoL Featherstone, if the policy of the people of South Carolina is to have prohibition, then a tax w'ust be levied to salary the ofti .ls who will be employed to en force the law. According to Col Featherstone a constabularyi must be maintained, and that be-1 ing the case, these constables must have pay, and the taxpay ers will have to do the paying. So itis up tothe voter to say by his ballot whether he wants to bring on this condition.4 WE 20FE NOW TEAT OUTRAGES WL CEASE.4 The recent ruling of Judge1 Memminger relating to having in1 possession spirituous or malt lio - uors, or any mixtre or compouznd] containing alcohol has aroused the people throughout the State, 2 and mnsome instances the expres- ti sions of indignation have been pronounced. No peonle will stand for the trampiing of their rights under foot, whether the same .s t done in the name of the law or otherwise, and no people will re spect a law that seeks to deprive< them of their natural rights. i hence the ruling of Judge Memx minger was of unusual interest. We have been told that in somne, towns officers have stood by when ( a package of liquor was delivered to aconsignee at an exprecs office.i and as soon ,-s the dlelivery was: made to the person, the pack-"ge was contiscated and the person ar. ji rested and lined. The proceeding< was an outrage and altogether il- . legal. But the matter is settledi now we hope. and( the people ca'n V know their rights. Magistrate J. L. G illis of Rem-t bert, applied to the attorney gen - eral for advice, and the head off the legal department of the Statei in reply to his questions advised;i the Magistrate that liquor ship ped into the State from without the State for personai use cannot :1 be seized, unless there is reason to believe the liquor so shipped i is to be used unlawfully. We pre-ilI snme this mans. if an otcer hai liquor. lie cani seze it :nd I the matter is contested. it wili te up to the officer to prove his suspic ions, if he fails, the liquor must be returned to the owner. just what remedy there i for the harassing of an innocent man we do not knopw but it is our opinioin there iS 'YdII om for daiageT- wiert improper seizures are made; at any rate the Attorney General of South Carolina who is the high est legal source until a formal de cision of the court is rendered. has made the declaration offlicily that liquor ship ped into this State for personal use cannot be seized. We can go farther and say that the attorney general's opinion is concurred in by the acknowled' ed prohibition leader. Hon. C. C. Featherstone. and the declaration was made but a few days ago to the writer in conversation at Kingstree. .\r. Featherstone. who has served on the bench. told the writer at the time men tioned that the Memminger rul ing would not hold nor was it law. The seizures which have been made in the towns that were after the money in the shape of tines. should refund this money to those they took it from and if they do not they are guilty of robbery. 'TIS A SHAME. The Florence campaign meet ing was a disgrace to the State. The idea of the attorney general head of the legal department of the State denouncing his oppo nent as "an infamous liar." We have no doubt that Mr. Lyon has had plenty of provocation to cause him to lose his temper. but he should. occupying the posi tion he does, have controlled himself. The fact is, there is no necessity for Attorney General Lyon to give heed "o anything his opponent charges. he is wast ing his time and energy when he follows Mr. Evans around to deny his charges. the people have full confidence in the attor ney general and they approve of his administration, therefore. we say the charges preferred by Mr. Evans are falling upon deaf ears, and Mr. Lyon is only dig nifying them when he consents to notice his op nent. If Mr. Lyon feels that he must go out to the campaign meetings we will be pardoned for suggesting that he make no reply to Mr. Evans at all, but confine himself to givmg an account of his stewardship in a dignitied man ner. To bandy epithets with a man who seems to be out to gratify his spleen is not a good example to set for those who are urging law and order. nor will the use of the words liar and thief tend to aid in the enforce ment of law and order. It is to be regretted that these men are so forgetful of the feel ings of the general public, and we hope in the future there will not be a repetition of the Flor nce rowdyism. Chairman Rags ale deserves great praise for he prompt taking hold of the situation and hi's excellent man gement of 't, for we have no oubt that had it not been for his promptness and his determina ion, the meeting would have nded with bloodshed. Let us til hope that hereafter the re ;pective county chairman will. ts soon as a candiate attempts to use unparlimentary language, >e promptly called down, and nless he desists be stopped from further speaking. The people lo not go to campaign meetings o learn what one ca'ndidate hinks of another. they go there o learn something about the ;overnment in which they are nterested in and which they elp to maintain by their taxes. McGEEE PAI3TS HOPEFULLY. Mr. Zach McGhee, The State's ATshington correspondent, has, ,ndic is now touring the West and e is writing some very interest og letters on the political situa ~ion. If Mr. McGhee is right in is investigations, the Democrats re as sure of the next President s is two cents is for a ginger ~ake. There is no doubt of a ~reat unrest among the people all ver the United States and there s also little-doubt that the Repub ican party is in great distress at his time, but if they flop togeth r as they did in Ohio recently. he chances for a Democratic vie ory is rot so gs.od. One of the troubles with the )emocrats is that they do not ~tick together but pernmt some inor issue to spring up between em and success. for instance, in omie of the Western States the quor issue is being stressed by Villiamn J. Bryan. and while his wn State convention declined to coept his " county option xiews e effect has been felt in the ther States, and the Republicans o0 not lose the opportunity to tress Bryan's position in those tates where the liquor element strong. T'here is a tremendous ~ermzan vote inl the West. thisi 'ote will not be cast for anyv can idate who !s in symnathy v with e prohibition movement, and nless the Democrats can succeed 1 winning the- German and Scani anL:: vote~ of the WVest. it is ur judgm!fent an up) hi!! job. There' is hore foir tin- Demno ratic party. if the leader-swi get-i o>getheri and agree to :nakethe ruT the paramount issue and 1 ave the other- ouestions for tip -: ture, b)ut as long as the ptarty i ; split up into factions on !ninor s5ues t need( not expect to go< to the natonai battle with a jid party. and unless the party resents a sond front it cannot in nlotwithstandofg '.be roseate< 'iews of some of the writers to kmocratic newspapers.

The coming congressional contests will be a good indication as to the Isplit in the Republican party. if the Democrats make coisiderable ;insi for the lower House it will be c!ouraging for- the battle of THERE IS DANGER IN GOING TOO FAR. The State of Texas has just gotten through with the most exciting election it has had in many years. But the out come o it all seems to have been a vie tory for the anti-prohibition can didate for governor and Prohi bitionists both. The governor nominated upon an anti-prohibi tion platform by about 60,000 majority. and those who favor snbnitting an amendment to the constitution providing for prohi bition to be grafted in the consti tution of the State won by about 20.('00 majority. Therefore Texas has gone on record as being op posed to proliibitan by the selec tion of a governor, but has also gone on record as being willing to have the constitutional amendment providing, for pro hibition sutmitted to the people. Should. when this constitutional amendment providing for prohi tion be carried. then the legisla ture will have to affirm it and under the party rules the gover nor will have to approve the act. Will Texas embody prohibi tion in her constitution will be the question asked all over the Union. When the legislature submits this amendment as it must do, if the primary pledge is regarded. then the fight to pre vent the people of that State from putting upon themselves such a provision will be still hot ter than the election just had in which the anti-prohibitionist car ried things by storm. A large part of Texas is ary now, under local option, very few of the rural communities have the legalized sale of liquor, but a license system prevails in the larger towns and cities. If the prohibitionists fail to have prc hibition incorporated in the con stitution when the amendment is submitted it would not sur prise us if the anti-prohibi tionists do not annul all of the prohibitive laws. and bring on a condition far worse than they have things under the present restrictions. The great danger lies in extremes. A TIMELY HINT. "How to Better the Courts" is the title of an aditorial in yes terday's News & Courier, which we think is deserving of careful consideration, for the reason that the legal fraternity has worked thejiegislature to gratify political ambition to the detri ment of the public service, these gentlemen have themselves elec ted to the legislature. and from the time they get their the wires are pulled for a judgeship, but if the News and Courier's sug gestion is adopted the legislature will not in the future have so many lawyers in it. We quote from the News and Courier: "Continuing the discussion of the bet termxent of the courts in Sonth Carolina, we would urge that the General As sembly at its next session ought to pass a law disqualifying any member of the House or Senate from election to a judgeship or any simila:- ollice. We note the c-at~didacv of at least one man in South Carolina who is running for the Legislature today in tne hope and belief, in our opinion, that in case a vacancy on the Bench shall occur in the judicial circuit of which his county forms a part. be may be elect-ed to Sill it. He is a very good man and will doubtless make a veryv good legislator. but we do not beiieve that he would be a candidate for- the House of Repre sentatives today except with some such motive as that we have indicated, and we do not believe that a man should be sent to the Legislature whose candidacy is based upon any such ulterior pur pose. it is well known that it is nra c-I acally impossible for any man not a' member of the General Assembly to b elected over a memiber of that body to any onice in the gitt of the General As sembly. We shall not go to the length of saying that the judiciary- in this State as sutered materially because of this fact. We are even prepared to admit that in s:-me such cases the legislator was the better man. Nevertheless, it may safely be asserted that the present condition is not a healthy one. The uiket - y to remedy it is by the passage ofa law such as that which we have indicated. Of cours~e, it will be a hardl matter to get legislators who are in" thus to disqualify themselves.l 'herefore, their views along this line yu;Zht to be sounded in advance. A SAD L~OSS.

The newspapersM' art now ati tating the Torren's system which has beven tried in the West and which they claim works well. As we understand this system it is a simplified form of land registry. and is supposed to make the transfers of property easier. We confessthat we have not had an opportunity to investigate the matter and therefore we are not iII a position to say whetier or not we appi-.'e of it.

Tect elsewhere iefore we take to it, an1d too. when the new fangled ideas have aion-g their agitators men who would proiit largely by these changes. then we hesitate to wonder what there is in the change for them. It is clear to our mind that if the Torren's system, as we un derstand it, was put in opera tion in this State under a statu tory requirement, it would rev olutionize the methods now pre vailing and cause much confusion and expense. This is the way it looks to us from the accounts we have read in the newspapers.
