The Success of Two Candidates.
It is a fact that C. 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

Timmonsville, Florence county,
has received a deal of 'valuable
advertising as a wide-awake,
progressive town. 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

carried almost unanimously anc

Mr. S. H. Epps, Sr., has
