In the race for governor there are a number of men any one of whom probably would prove acceptable to the voters of the State. It is therefore a question of comparative merit rather than of absolute fitness or unfitness for the office. What are the voters going to do? That is the question which demands clear, hard thought if the people are to reach a satisfactory conclusion. Where so much depends on one man, the servant of the people, the very highest individual qualifications are needed. The man who is to represent South Carolina's citizens in the gubernatorial chair must be a man capable of adequately expressing in hie Qpfinnc on/i hi^ ?r/>?/l<. . MV. Vivr?iu uitvi 1 HO UUIUO LUC will of the majority. Granted personal and official integrity, sound judgment, im-' plying as it does constructive. ability and moral force, is the first requisite. Indeed it may be said that this first requisite, I the greater, includes all others. It includes, among other things, the appreciation of the collective might of an intelligent citizenship, the will of the majority. On the liquor problem hinges much of the result of the campaign. Try as some of the candidates will, they can not keep it out of the campaign. It must be accepted as an issue in which every man is interested. Therefore it becomes one of paramount importance. A candi- ! date's position on this matter has i fio bearing on his personal character. It has, however, a marked influence on the future ] course of sumptuary legislation in South Carolina. The election of u "local option candidate" thus will redound to the preservation in South Carolina of the . rtrmtrino 4^vii?w4 **v*v MVV v* ? ?v VI ?v\.ai self-government. One candidate has stood out for this principle first and last. , He is Thomas G. McLeod, of Bishopville. Mr. McLeod, while not an advocate of liquor selling or of liquor drinking, strongly favors county local option. He stands for sanity in things governmental, for the best possible mode of enforcing all laws?th^ enlistment of a clean popular sentiment. Aside from his position on the liquor question? which should win him much support from the sober thought of the voters ?Mr. McLeod's platform is excellent. He stands for economy, without parsimony in government, for the support of education, both primary and higher training, and for the good of the people. In aaaiuon, nis qualifications are oi the best. Mr. McLeod, if elected, will make South Carolina a splendid governor, responsive to the popular will yet strong in his individual convictions. The Typhoid Fly. A new and seemingly more appropriate name has been found by the entomologists for the house fly. They have named the pest "the typhoid fly." This fly is now abroad in the land and it behooves the public to have a care that it does not destroy the health of the community by depositing disease germs cn food which is taken into the system. The typhoid fly breeds in manure piles, in waste from the human system and in other filth. Then it crawls over vegetables, pastry, bread, abrasions of the skin, etc., and leaves the bacteria which cause intestinal disorders, typhoid fever, tuberculosis and other life-destroying diseases. Xo chances should be taken with' the typhoid fly. The remedies against its encroachments are screened windows and doors, fly paper, sticky or poisoned, doing away with manure heaps, covering of slops, filth, swill barrels, and through sterilizing of intestinal discharges from patients sufferintr with tvnhoid or other fevers, or infectious diseases, before being emptied into sewer or cesspool or otherwise deposited where flies can have access to them. Mules Killed by Lightning. A pair of valuable mules be- j longing to State Senator Yancey Williams, of Lancaster county, ; were killed by a bolt of lightning j on his plpatation in the Waxhaw neighborhood Friday afternoon. The animals were hitched to a j wagon in which three negroes were riding. The men were shocked into a state of unconsciousness, but were revived by Dr. J. E. Massey, of Riverside, who happened to be in the neighborhood. Political Announcements. ELECTION, AUGUST 30. For House of Representatives.
