C.'Featherstone, candidate for governor, has never been endorsed by the people of his home county, Laurens, for any office he has sought at their hands. Twenty years ago he was an unsuccessful candidate for mayor of Laurens ! and four years ago he got into the also-ran column as a candidate for the Legislature. If the j people of Mr. Featherstone's home county and home city do. not think he would make a safe i official, who. then, can expect the people of the State at large to conclude that he is the right man to elect governor? The safe thing to do in the gubernatorial election next Tuesday is to vote for Thos. G. j McLeod, a man who has been repeatedly honored by his home ! county and who, in one of his! races for lieutCfl&ftt governor, received absolutely every vote cast m the primary, an honor perhaps never before conferred ! upon any candidate in the history of South Carolina politics. Lyon a Weakling. There are thousands of Democrats in South Carolina who do not relish the thought of voting for Fraser Lyon for attorney general, but many of these thousands will vote for him in preference to Barney Evans. Others of the thousands will vote for neither, just as we havo heard a score or more good men say thev intend to do. Nor is this hostility to Lyon based upon his prosecution of the dispensary grafters. On the contrary, it seems to be due to the lack of prosecution of the men who are llpliproel tn liii'O etnlun f-".Win. ~ f tu im*u OVV1VH VCIl^ U1 thousands of dollars from the ?>tate. Furthermore, the opinion is prevalent that Lyon did not personally prosecute the alleged grafters because he did not possess sufficient legal learning to "know how to go about it intelligently. Unquestionably, Lyon is the weakest attorney general South Carolina has had in many a long day which possibly is due to his lack of experience: he was practicing as clerk to the judiciary committeeof the senate a short time before he was elected attorney general four years ago instead of in the high courts, where one would have expected to find the man soon to he entrusted with the important duties of the office. Of course, Harney Evans is not the man to succeed Lyon: he probably would make a bigger bust in the office than Lyon has made. So if anybody says this i< writton in Ptrono' KnUolt' ?? ? ? v vv.

A like amount of the same quality of advertising is awaiting the town ol Fort Mill and will he forthcoming when the citizens of this towr awake to the opportunity. Within the last fortnight the voters of Timmonsville have held ar election on the question of issuing t $30,000 in bonds for waterworks \ and $15,000 for drainage pur \ poses. Both propositions were carried almost unanimously anc there is, in consequence, a future in store for the town which less S.. .^progressive communities maj dream ? . > . x ? RETURN MR.

The point appears well taken and it would . seem only fair to elect Mr. Epps 1 if any attention is to he paid to geographical lines in the selection , of the county's members of the . house of representatives.
