McSwooney for ?ovrnor of South Caroliun. We advocate the clo^tion of Mr. Mct Sweeney, snys tho Herald aud 'News? Because, hisadciinistrntionrsince ho succeeded to tho office of gov- i ernor has .been u plain, honest, j business administration; the nf-j lairs of governmentbeingmanaged i io the best interests of r.ll the peo- ! pie; Because, as governor, helmsdono 1 more to wipe out that bitter factional feeling which has existed in this State for the past eight or ten years than any one who has tilled ' he office siuce these feelings wero 1 aroused; Because, since he has been gov- ' ornor of the State, the disponsury law, the law that has caused more trouble, more enemies, and more ! bloodshed than any law that was . vcr put on the statute books, has been more ably enforced and with j less friction, and at a less expense to the State, with hnlf the constat)-1 ulary force, than any of his nredo r.essors, making the law more popular than it luw evor boon with all ( lasses of people; Because, in enforcing the dispensary law, he lias placed some .if the responsibility for its enforcement on the officials of the towns and cities, and the results, in u great measure, have proven that in ihis he was wise and it has redounded for the good of the law; 1 Because, under his administra non, in tho enforcement of thodis"poirsary law, no man's blood ia laid at the State's door; Because, ho has shown a disposition to do fairneaa and justice to all classes and faotions and hns been the governor of tho whole poo pie; Becausp, ho is fully competent to serve tho people in a non-partisan manner and with tho ability of any of his opponents; Because, this paper hns never .been an advocato of prohibition, and high license is not practicable, and tho past has shown that his enforcement of the dispensary law is as satisfactory to as near all the people us is in tho power of auy governor to trivet Because, lie is tho tool of no man or set of men, and nets in mnttors of State 011 his own good judgment. Before a Democratic convention recently held in one of the Western States, Congressman Champ \Jlark. of Missouri, mudo tho following observations: "The issue is squarely joined. It is the empire against the republic. William MoKinley and his cohorts stand for tho empire; William J. Jryan and his followers stand for .he perpetuation of this bcneficient republic, for which our fathers fought and for which thousands of hem died. The Asiatic propaganda is the meet Jkyii |?unW1 UUM H'home over hatched in tho brain . f man, and is the rankest Hort of ,nidsainhier madness. ' "One of two things is true about ho Filipinos, either they arc lit ior self-government or they nro not iit. If they nro fit for self-government, in God's name let them govern themselves. If they nro not ;tt, wo do not wnnt them for fellow oitizens. But whether tho Filipinos nro lit to crovern tlmincr\!v<->a ??r not, they are not fit to govern lis, find that is precisely wlnit they will do if we tako them into political partnership with us, for the Supreme Court of the United States has decided tiiYie and time <<gain that the only, purpose for which we can noquirh. foreign territory io to make States out of it, j r, " 4 | s\ ; ' , n nil if t hry aio ever < 11 ? i i.: ?1 :i!

The name is an insult and the charge that, we are oppooid to expansion is a lie. It is a lie made of the whole cloth, and in ado willfully, deliberately, premeditatcdly, and with malice of forethought. I take it that ulAmericans nro expansionists, provided the expansion is 011 tho right lines, in the right direction, and will strengthen our institutions and not weaken them.*' ? CcnxresjJoiei! Candidates ot Chester. The following account of the Congressional campaign meeting; which was hold in Chester last Thursday nppeared iuThe Luntorn of Friday: Congressman D. E. Finley was the first congressional candidate introduced, lie is not a stranger. Two years ago ho won one of the most closely contest oil campaigns with four other candidates without unpleasantness Tie always discusses issuvs. llo has fulfilled all the promises mndo then, mid has taken good euro ol 1 ho interests of the people. He always stood squarely on the Democratic platform. Though the party was in the mi. liorlty there was much useful work that could he done. As evidence, practically all are united on the Kansas City platform. Tho Chic igo platform was not accepted by many, hut they hnvo come hack to tho party; the party has not gone to them. They now see the prophecies of four years fulfilled. Mr. Finley then drew a parallel between | the positions of the t wo parties. The iucrense in manufacturing in; dustrios in tho South is not duo to the policy 01 the Republican party 1 hut it lias come hoennae Libs in the I ! best place in the world for those industries. It will be some years before the Republican majority in the Senate can be overcome, but with Bryan in tiro White House and a majority of representatives, , imperialism, militarism, and other abuses will stop. He does not claim that bis part in the work of Congress has been great, but lie ; did not stand back, as many do, | because it was his tirst term. He went to work to do everything he could. l)r. T. .T. Strait was the last speaker. lie ie glad to see his friend (Finley) now taking the right position on imperialism and militarism. There was more reason for it two years ago, and where | was ho then? | Finley: 1 didn't know the result then and couldn't discuss it.] I was the only one in the district then that spoke against these things. Then was the time sentiment was forming and that was tho time to discuss theso mutters, but it was dangerous. The young men were wild with the mil' itnry idea and extension of commerco. hie predicted then the very condition that now exists in the Philippines and China. "And that miserable wretch" (MeLaurin). Tho speaker told about his i dark doings two yenrs ngo and was cursed for it. Now people know . better and nro sore over it. Dr. : Strait had in his hand the News and Courier containing a report, of tho Tirzoh meeting, by W. 1). Grist, also tho Yorkvillo Enquirer | with uncomplimentary remarks about Strait and Latimer. The j editor of the Enquirer was n oup' tain in tho war and acknowledged that he was not in sympathy with the cause for which ho was trying to light, and that ho never felt free until the negroes were sot free. After the war ho got in with old Merrill and reported every Kn Klux he knew of. And "the pimp' (W. 1). G.)?who is he? lie has caught him lying and wouldn't believe him on his oath. Ho is tak. ing part against him (Strait) in f v;~i~.. ,.i ,1 I'jiiu j o uiirivov. j.- i it i ry tiwu^ru Latimor with coming to Tirzah iu Strnit'H interest. [Finley: "Who says f.o? | Strait: Lntimer told me so himself". [Finley: If Latimer told you that he lied. J Strait remarked that he would communicate with Latimer and seo what he | aays about it. AlcLaurin was oppoue4 to tho constitutional con 4 vontion. lie didn't speak against it openly, but that was the secret of his part in the "Forty movement.'' There was some father colloquy during which Strait remarked to Fiuley, "Your friends call you an expert politician." | Fin ley: "And what do your friends call you?" | Stinit: "They < 11)1 me a political fool." He just told the truth no matter whether it was popular or not. His only charge against Finley was tli.it he was iucoiupoteiit, not having the sagacity to see the rascality of McLaurin and others sooner. ? -*? * At the National Capital. Rojrular eorrospoiulcuco. Washington, August 10,1000.? Official absenteeism had up to the present week merely been a I cause of regret that Mr. McKinley i and nu rubers of his administration should to far forget the obligations of the < nth they took upon assuming office as to go away from their ; official posts, for their own personal pleasure, while the Chinese situation was at such a critical ! stage; but this week it 1ms been a . oa..so of shame and deep humiliaj tion to every patriotic American. | When Minister Conger's message, saying that the Imperial Chinese troops were daily firing upon the i Inirnliivii it> l?.... ho and other foreign ministers are i cooped up as prisoners, arrived in i Washington neither the President nor the Secretary of State was on hand to deal with it, and nobody ' can say now what this government intends to do about it. That pub; lie opinion will compel it to do more than hobnob with the Chi: nese minister to the United States : and indorse all the fairy tales ho can invent is extremely probable. Much as Mr. McKinley dislikes to call an extra session of Congress to know what this government shall do, which he should have done weeks ago, it looks now as though ho would not be ablo to avoid it anil drift along, hoping for some opportunity to do something or to make a bluff at doing : something that would be beneficial I i t -1 n? win nulling ?J(J1 II ICUl lOI'lUnCB. Tho time for drifting lias passed. Mr. McKiuley's so-called "ultimatum" to tho Chinese government, sent through Consul-Cenoral Fowler, at Shanghai, informing China 1 that tho situation reported by ' Minister Conger was intolerable, will hardly scare the Chinese. They are not fools. Thoy know that in this country Congrossalone : has authority to declare war. For that reason, if for no other, Congress ought to be called in extra 1 session. It would convince the Chinos that we meant business. Senator Lindsay, whose term will expire next March, having stated in an interview published ! by a Washington paper his belief 11... I Af.. AT-I.-:..!--- 1 ? > IUIU ilimuuiuy WOUIU HO l'Ccloctod, Democrats are wondering ; what sort of n Federal appointuieiit ho is nfter. Democrats are delighted with | Colonel Bryan's speech of acceptance, especially that portion of it which so clearly points out the difference between legitimate expansion?acquiring territory to become futuro States?and the inipej rialistn which acquires islands to become colonial possessions. The speech is probably tho most complete argument against imperial1 ism ever presented in a single publication, and should bo carefully studied by every Democrat who wishes to tit himself to demolish every argument the Republicans have yet advanced in favor of the imperialistic foreign policy of the McKinley administration. In fact, , the speech might be called the ' Democratic primer of the present j campaign. The periodical statement that this government has sent an ultimatum to the Sultan of Turkey demanding immediate payment of those American missionary claims which came out this week has become both tiresome and farcical. It was from the first laughed at by tho diplomatic corps, the European members of which know something of how the Sultan treats demands upon him for money. A j gentleman who is in a position to make a good guess: "It would not surprise my if in the Irst weeks of the campaign Mr. McKinley sent a I strong naval force to compel the ! Sultan to pay these claims and in- j jcrvi imu: juj^uioin liivu iuo puillical campaign at home."' Cannery at Yltzih. Mr. W. T. Massey, of Tiizali, and his son. Mr. Latin Massoy, J have embarked in the canning i business on a small scale anil with | a good promise of success. Mr. : Massey showed a representative of this paper a large quantity of j goods that have already been put I in attractive style. There is in the ; i stock strawberries, blackberries, 1 cherries, peaches, apples, beans, to- j matocs and corn. They ought to and no doubt will find a ready market at home for all the fruits and vegetable they can pack, as they are put up by homo people who are conscientious and cleanly in bundling it and who use nothing but fresh, ripe material. Noth! ing is used except that which is picked the same day it is canned. The stuir used by the canneries in the cities is of material that has been Hllilinnrl in nnrl mm-li ??f if several days old and some of it refuse that can not he sold by any 1 | reputable green grocer.
