For years it lias been a custom j in South Carolina to indorse an ; acceptable1 administration. Such j being the case, we are constrained .to Bay that Governor McSweeney is fully entitled to that indorsement which will again put him iu the gubernatorial chair. Ho has been faithful and impartial in executing the laws of our State; he has not caused one drop of innocent blood to bo shed; lie has pursued a firm, decisive courso, which worked without friction; he lins exercised tho executive clem,ency without fear, favor, affection, pr hope of reward in audi way as to challenge tho admiration of his opponents; and he line left 110 blot on liia trail in all liis works. 0OV1B It is true, as claimed by Governor McSwoeney's opponents, ?liat there are blind tigers in Co lunibia and Charleston, but they pro not more numerous than under pther administrations. In other parts of tho State, Governor Mo?>weenoy lias succeeded in gnining the hearty co-operation of tho local authorities, which bus removed the expense of maintaining tho largo constabulary forco. Hhe management of nil departments of tho State government lms been sagacious, and the governor lias not been swayed from duty by pny intluonoe, no matter how Strong. Under his administration our State has progressed rapidly in all industries. Outsido capital roplizing that our people were at peace and not stirred up by excespivo or aggressive moasures, lias sought investment in our midst, tiy seeking the support of local pfficers, Governor McSweouey has accomplished this state of affairs, lie has also resurrected old claims against tho nutional government which will pay our debt thereto pnd leave us a balance. He has givon us a business administration and yery justly expects us to indorse him by election. When violence has threatened to supercede law our governor has been prompt in action?somotimes going on the ground in person to preserve good order. Liko Benjamin Franklin, Governor McSweeney started life in the newspaper business; ho sold papers on the streets in Charleston and persovered in his course until he got to be editor of a paper, then president of tho Stato press association, then mayor, then legislator and chairman of tho military committee, then lieutenant-governor twice, then governor, than whom wo seek in vnin for n better example nt the present clay. We have tried MoSweoney and found him equal to all occasions, therefore we should not go hack pn tho custom of a contury and refuse him that indorsement, which hoe ho often been accorded to men who did less to deserve it than he. We hiprp information leading us to believe tliat Governor McSweeney wi|l at least be in the second |-ace, if he is not chosen at the first primary; and we hope he will be '; gp chospn, J Liiai, week New Vorfc, t .< lar ir? f-t city in the w oft lor: world run ; tlii metropolis of the North, wne! the i-o- no of raoo riots mow <?NVr.? v tl n?i to y that have ot'cui'inl in the South. This follows rloso on . uiu heels ot' the deplorable riots in New Orleans. The New York Tribune, the Press, Suu, and other New York, newspapers denounced 1 ho npp.ttlP r?f \rflW ( Jrlnono nu onw ?A,v,f w * *>****? ?o nuf" ages, and one paper in Boston demanded that Federal troops bo sent to the sceno and the city put under martial law. Now a riot of exactly tho same nature, if not with such tragic results, has occurred in tho heart of New York. There was no Southerners engaged iu this riot, no j "rebels'' had a hand in it. It wnB ! a Northern affair in which Northj cm people took part, nnd the mob i exhibited tho same characteristics j of savagery us the mob in Now : Orleans or any other mob any-1 where else in the round world, A Beautiful Sentiment. Prohibition is n beautiful sentii ment, but a miserable failure in ! practice, says (lovornor MeSwee- j neo. The prohibitionist can use no stronger argument than to cite the States that have tried prohibition. Let ue soe the result of such argument. Maine, Iowa, and lvan??. have prohibition under their constitution Now compare these ; States with South Carolina by the repor4 of the United States Commissioner of Internal Revenue for the year ending June 30, 1890. Mains?Number of retail liquor dealers, 1,125. Iowa?Number of retail liquor dealers, 3,730. Kansas?Number of retail liquor dealers, 2,5?Sl. South Carolina?Number of retail liquor donlors, 324. The 324 credited to South Carolina includos ovory liquor dispenser in the Stnte. Thus it is seen that tho prohibition Stnto of Kansas, with one and a half million population, lias over ten times as many illegal liquor licenses as South Carolina; that Iowa, with a fraction over two million population, has sixteen times as many; aiul that in the State of Maino, with about sovon hundred thousand population (nbout one-half the population of South Carolina), has five times as many. Bear with mo while 1 oall your attention to more unprejudiced and incontrovertible evidenco of the fallacy of prohibition. A committee of fifty of the most prominent citizens of the United States, including Seth Low, President of Columbian University, nnd Charles W. Elliott, President of Yale University, nnd othor men of equal prominence, not identified with politics, were appointed to investigate the operations of the liquor laws in severnl of the various States. Tbrv renort liavinc found one hundred find oiglity-two places where liquor wns sold in the city of Portland, Me., not including pocket peddlers, houses of illfntno, express companies, clubs, and certain oyster restaurants; thnt while tho investigation wns in progress several new bars wero opened. The Portland Express,in its issue of .Tune 21, 181)1, contained tho following protest of cor- | tain liquor dealers (prohibition town) of that city: "Some liquor dealers claim that their profits are cut down by the competition of shops allowed to exist in tho vicinity of their own places of business and that tho regular collection of protect ion money may also bo mado from thorn. These demands nre in some instances said to be so excessive that the dealers say they swallow up tho lion's share of the profits and sometimes actually make thorn \ run more disreputable places than l they otherwise would in order to goi in money enou^n to bo ftblo to respond to tlio perpotual squeezing." In Augusta, Mo., tho capital of tho State, sixty-two places were found in operation, or ono to every 117 inhabitants.

She attended church in the early part of the night and returned home apparently in the best spirits. No cause is alleged. The farmer should move very slowly while cotton is quoted under 10 cents. If the buyer can afford to delay the offer of 10 cents, the holder can equally afford not to come into market. The best thing for hiiu to do is to fix up things about tho home until the buyer runs up tho distress signal. Col. tloyt Opposed to 5tate Colleges. There nro n class of men so blinded with prejudice against the dispensary that they will support anything that opposes it, oven if they have to give their support to an enemy of tho State institutions of higher learning. AVe can not understand what tho friends of AVinthrop, Clomson, South Carolina College, and the Citadel are thinking about. Do they not know that Colonel Hoyt has always been a lender in making a fight against tho State colleges? Ho has always been nn ultrn-donominntional college advocate. With Colonel Hoyt in tho gubernatorial chair, and a Legislature of his own way of thinking, our Stato institutions of higher learning are in danger of ruin. There has never been a movement to cripple these institutions of learning but that it had tho warm annnnrl of r?olo?rtl TT. .. ? V/* wvSAVftSVA U.UJ li | wo are, therefore, surprised to find men professing friendship for those glorious institutions helping Colonel Iloyt and the other enemies of the colleges to get into position to strike theui a fatal blow. Wo think it the duty of evory 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 liquor discussion to wake up and prevent the ruthless hand of the destroyers from bringing ruin to tho institutions that should bo the pride of every citizen in the State.?Mnnning Times.

Adlai E.

It is their campaign in a sense that no other Presidential camjmign in tho history of our politics hns boen. The doors of opportunity aro closing in the face of youth.

First, last and all the timo, do not undertake to criticise or condemn any public officer by indiscriminate charges on the streets or cross roads.
