Narcisco Gener Gonzales, editor of , the State, at Columbia, who was shot brt»teut- Got. JamrsH. Tillman, was born August 5, 18*>8, at Kdlngsville. Edlsto Island. ^ He was the son of Ambrose .lufce Gonzales, a native of Malanias, Cuba, who with Narcisco Lopez, liegan tlie struggle Rir Cuban independence In * 1848. . The elder Gonzales was one of the junta of five members who de clared the independence of the island, adopted the present Cuban Mag, and , organized the first filibustering expedi tion under. Lopez, of which he was ^aecond In command witli the rank of brigadier general. He was wounded at Cardenas, Ma'y, 20,'1850, after., whjch be was exiled under the sen tence of death: Harriet Uutledge Elliott, youngest daughter of Hop. William Elliotp of Beaufort. He served In tTie CdnTede- , rate army as colonel and chief of artillery for the department of South Carolina, Georgia«nd Florida, under Beauregard, Hardee, Pemberton and others, surrendering at Greensboro. During 1805 he was in charge of the ^ artillery of .lolmston'-s-army. N. G. Gonzales was taught at home until he was 10 years of age. When he was 15 he attended a private school In Virginia-for one year. He receiv ed no further education, his family l»e- Ing ruined by the war. He worked as a laborer on a farm In Virginia, and for several years at the family .. homestead plantation in Colleton county. In 1875 he studied telegraphy, and from, the trimmer of that year until the summer of 1870 he was em ployed as a telegraph operator at VarneviHe, Hampton ebunty. In 1870 lie organized the first Demo cratic Club on the line of the Port Royal railroad, and was a campaign correspondent for the Charleston Journal of Commerce, the straight out Democratic organization of that time In the fall of 1817 he obtained a posi tion as night operator for the Atlan- , tlc*Gu]f railroad, later the Plant sys tem, and now the Atlantic Coast Line, at Savannah. A year later he was made operator and railroad clerk at Valdosta, Ga He left Valdosta In Jtfne, 1880, on the Invitation of A. is. Williams, whom he had met In the campaign of 1878, and who had’then justr charge of the Greenville Daily News, to serve In the posltibln of local report er for that paper He left Greenville on. August 5, 1880, to begin service with the Char- ieatoj •• — cprrespondent at Columbia. He con tinued In this position until October, 1881, when he vyas sent to Washing ton act as its special correspondent in the exciting year following the death of President Garfield. He was present at the Glteau trial and execution and the long- session of the Forty-seventh Congress. In Agust, 1882, lie was transferred to Charleston and placed on the edi torial staff of the News and Courier, with the understanding that he was ultimately to become the" editor of the paper. But a few.months latter, owing to a misunderstanding, he was sent back to Columbia, where. In 1883 he organized the News and Courier bureau, and Continued in charge of its news and business departments until the election of Benjamin R. Tillman as Governor in 1890, reporting all ttn r State campaigns and many famous trials In different parts of the State. Ills personal and political'antagon ism to Gov. Tillman indisposing him to have such relations with the State's chief executive as the policy of the News and Courier required, he resign - ed his position on that paper to take effect upon the close of the ad- mlnlsChitlw of Gov. Richardson. At that time he intended to leave the State and thought of taking up newspaper work in tne Hawaiian Is- lands. He was, however, urged to re main in Columbia and become the edi- 'tbr of a paper representing the views of the opponents of Tillman. This he agreed to do, and, with his brother, Ambrose E. Gonzales* he secured the neoesSary capital to start the State of which newspaper lie was elected edi tor and manager. He purchased the plapt, selected the force and organized the office of thd State, lieginning publication on February 18, 1891. After two years he gave up the supervision of the busi ness department, but he continued In control of the news and 'editorial departments of the State; Though for a' number of years one of the foremost political figures Jo.

Tlie Constitution of our State, fc- cogrii/.ing tbc fact that our entire educational system is founded upon t hecommon.schools, has undertaken to “provide a liberal sVstem of free public schools fori all children lietween the ag#s of») and 21.” There is no more importantconsideration before the people of South Carolina than is con tained in this clause' &T ffie cotfst itn- tkm.

In my j idgment, wer? sue.) an amen unenl submitted, .t would t»e aih. pted, wiiteh feaiTtiot but M ie hi my solemn duty to set’ that all of the laws of our State are always and every where enforced. For many reasons it is best to emphasize this where the dispensary law is concerned.

We should have it understood that it cannotseeK through great combinations and by over-eapitajization to Create” monopo lies by means of which it can compet it ion, paralyze individual effort, reduce wages and control prices to the detriment of the public. _ It is true lhat great industrial ouin- binations and powerful Corporations are the order of the day and have be come Hxt ii res in the business life of the country capable of wield big an im- JofcdtiiE Througti skilled management , and pos sessing the abifify to open up wider markets for the sale of their products; they are capable of doing much good; nevertheless, the fact remains that, as usually conducted* their tendency is decidedly harmful to tlie best inter- eets of the country, and their proper regulation and control through legis lation is one of the greatest problems which to-day confronts our lawmakers both St^te and Federal, A large majority of tlie States have enacted laws defining monopolies and seeking to prevent their for and trust ic prevent their formation, lias likewise passed anti- the jwbjcct complex and information upon which to l>ase action so difficult to obtain— none of the laws providing sufficiently for the securing of information—that tlie tendency towards centralizat ion of wealth and combinations in tfadi dangerous to the public are becoming more and more marked each year. ANTI-TRUST LEGISLATION. I n this Stale we have a eonstitu- tional article giving to the General **1 A fF , tif h V th<1 ona,,t la » n tn prevent trusts, combinations, etc, and to provide penalties “to the extent , If necessary for that purpose, of forfeiture of their franchises,” and in 1897 an Act was passed carrying out the provisions of this article.,. This Act being deem ed defective and not farreachlng en ough by the Mterrtcy General, at the last session ofthe General Assembly •another Act was passed, ^amendatory in it nAture and going nearer to the root of the trouble. Power was also given to the Attorney General to secure testimony in relation to the violation of these Acts, and it is to be frpped that this legislation villi be found suffi cient to protect the interests of the people ffom oppression by combined capital. * If not, it is the duty of the General Assembly to amend our laws In the past few years, I am glad to say, much of the friction formerly aT- taching to this law has disappeared, t am aware of theTact,however, that in. certain localities it may be very, hard to rest rain illegal traffie-in liquor and to -preseht’ tlie .violation of this law; nevertheless, I shall seek to uphold tlie law and to carry out its provisions without favor to'anrTncatitr in anv part of our State. The details of the dispensary law are familiar to all of our cit izens, hut perl laps its necessary difficulties arc not generally under stood nor propperiy appreciated.
