HE OVES MS VIEWS On the Other More Important Imucc of the Oampalgn—Farorn Imml- ftration to Meet Mate Problem We Print Below Hto Formal An nouncement of Ilia CandidMrjr for the United State* Senate. Sometime ago Ex-Got. John Gary Fvana formally declared his Inten tion to be a candidate for the United Btatea Senate In the primary this Summer In a letter, "Which we pub lish below , Evan’s Announcement: The following Is the announcement Governor Evans gave ont: ,* > It has not been deemed necessary heretofore for a candidate for the nomination of United States Senator in a Democratic primary to write a platform, especially before the as- acmbllng of the State and National conventions of the party. I would therefore, simply state that I am a candidate for the nomination of United States Senator by the Demo cratic party of South Carolina, but as ethers have published what they stand for, a word from me may not be inappropriate. I believe the most Important in ane to be pressed before the people Is, that of tariff. I have In former campaigns endeavored to show the In iquity and Injustice of the Repub lican policy so far as the South Is concerned and 1 shall continue to do so. 'We are gttlL-*n agricultural peo ple, cotton raising and cotton manu facturing are our principal Industries and will ever he. These Industries furnished the United States las’, year a balance In trades without which our country would have been a debtor to the rest of the world Instead of a creditor. Since the war between the United States, the South from Its cot- con crops alone has brought Into the States approximately fourteen million of dollars of foreign gold. This sum represents Enough money to purchase at their assessed valua tions for taxation today the State* of ttatne. New Hampairtr*. Vermont, Connecticut, Rhode Island, Pennsyl vania, New Jersey, Delaware, and Ohio and a surplus sufficient to add 100 per cent, to the taxable property of South Carolina. If this money 'could have been kept at home the South would be the richest country in the world. Where has It gone? The answer Is easy, to fatten the pro tected Interests of the States enum erated. Our farmers who manufac ture nothing have been forced to aell their cotton in Europe, compelled to bring back gold only to be robbed at the cuitom house and forced to purchase their ploughs, boots, shoes, buttons, coats and supplies from home manufacturers at prices from fifty to three hundred per cent, high er than they could have been gotten In the markets where they sold their cotton, and yet w^ are told that the Southern farmet'iM laxy and Indol ent. The time has come for the truth to be preached and demand made for fair treatment. The Republican party Is fast be coming divided Into two hostile camps on the tariff. New England is thoroughly developed, her manufac turers no longer monopolize the home market, they are dependent now for dividends upon the surplus product which they are forced to sell In foreign markets where the South sells her cotton. The Western Republican has become the extreme high protectionist and Massachu setts Is now for free trade In the raw material, which she manufac tures. The shoes we formerly bought In Massachusetts now come from Missouri. The factories have gone to the hides Just as they are coming to the cotton, and the East can no long er compete In the home market with the West. You cannot protect cot ton so long as the home market con sumes but one-third of the raw ma terial. It is our duty, therefore, to combine with the free traders of New England and thus secure fair treat ment for our farmers. Our cotton crop for the past year Is estimated to bring Into this cotin try In foreign gold seven hundred millon of dollars, while our cotton manufacturers bring in only thirty- two million. This condition should not be allowed to exist. We must manufacture at home every pound of cotton we raise and Instead of exporting raw cotton cloth Our prosperity w-lll never be permanent until this Is done. We should stand by our cotton manufacturers and de mand for them fair treatment It is an anomalous fact that England last year built more new cotton mills in three counties than were constructed In the entire outside world. Cotton machinery can be purchased In Eng land fifty per cent, cheaper, than the mills can buy In New England and yet we are forced by the Iniquitous tariff policy to pay the price. The Southern cotton farmer and the Southern cotton manufacturer should go fcapdl in han^ Into this &g£t for their Interests are of the same. The South to continue to print the fear of a so called rebel control as a scare crow to Southern brains and ambition. The most loyal Americans today llvein the South and the fight now .being mgde by the president of the United States against his own party for honesty ip, business and govern mental affairs and against predatory wealth and the cupidity of our mil llonaires and trust magnates finds its ablest champions in one section. Another Iqulty that I shall deavor to blot out.'jls the pension policy of the Republican party. The ease with which every free hooter and camp., follower now gets hi* name upon the pension rolls Is ap palling. We haVe paid to Northern soldiers since the war ended $3,551,- 025,651.17 or enough to buy the States of Maryland. *Vlf|lK!B, North Carolina. South Carolina, Georgia. Florida, Alabama, Mississippi, and Louisiana at their assessed vaTues for taxation. The South pays’ the major portion of this tax and Sets nothing in return. We were not ng gressors In the Civil War, the refus al of the North to acept the decision of the Supreme Court of the United States upon a constitutional question In the Dred. Scott case was practi cally a nullification of that instru ment and therefore, . according to their construction, a declaration of war. The South fought'in defense of the constitution. This is now ac cepted as true by all writers of history and has practically -been sustained by the Supreme. Court of the United States. The President who has spent most of his life writing articles, and book* deflamatory of Southern states men and heroes, In his last message to Congress, he thus speaks of this conflict, “There Is grave need of those stern qualities shown alike by the men of the North and men of Ihe South In the dark days when each valiantly battled for the light as II was given each to see the light, their spirit should be our spirit as we strive to bring nearer the day when greed and trickery and running shall be trampled under foot by those who fight for rlghteowimetm that exa+eUt a nation.” The Confederate sobller battled for the light as' given ITyThe' only source from whence It could come, the sun of the constitution — the Supreme Court of the United States. Such being the case I shall demand that the Confederate soldier be treated as the equal of the Federal soldiers and granted an equal pen sion In his old age as a brother who fought for the light as he saw It and as he was In duty bound to accept It from Its only source the highest Court In the Union. Finance*. Under our Constitution Congress alone has the-power to-coln money DODGED THE ISSUL STATE SUPREME COURT ON CAL HOUN COUNTY ELECTION. I shdR-advocate an elastic currency, Issued by the government and In dorsed by.Jhe entire resources of nnr country. The great trouble with this ques tion is the tendency on the part of our financiers and statesmen to treat money as a commodity and n otas a medium of exchange. The idea of money being sold in the open market to the highest bidder like real estate or mules and horses Is something unique to the student of political economy and yet this is the specta cle we witness when a scare Is pro duced in our financial centres. The volume of money cannot be arbitrarily fixed, its only regulator A Decision That Decide* Nothing Ex rept That Dii*fnuirhi«ed Voter* Have No Retire** in the Court*. The formal opinion of the Mate Su preme Court In the Calhoun County election has been filed an^ we are sotry to say that it Is fcn opinion that does not do much credit to that ao- ealled higher court. The case la that of Parler and othera against State Treasurer Jennings and othera as members of the State board of elec tion canvassers The court In the opinion written by Justice Gary, holds that the ques tions of fact In these cases are left to the State board of canvassers to decide. The Imard has found that If all the electors residing In the terrl tory of the new county, but whose polling precincts were... outside had voted-at the new county Selection the result would not have been changed. The court declares that It Is not necessary to pass on the constitution afity of the statute In question In order to protect the right of the elec tors to take part In the election, the Court follows the well settled rule not to take into consideration the constitutionality of an A6t of the General Assembly unless It Is neces sary to do so. The action of the Slate Hoard of canvassers Is there fore upheld. It will be recalled that there Is a conflict between the provisions of the Constitution and the Act of the Gen eral Assembly in regard to the right to vote in new county elections. The Constitution declares that all qualifi ed electors residing within the pro posed new county shall vote while the status provide for the opening ul the noil 1 ng ntaces at only these precincts.within the territory, where as, as in this case of Calhoun County, the imlling places of certain quali fied electors who reside In the terri tory are outside of the territory. The Con ft does not undertake to settle this conflict. ■■ : ^ It will be seen that the Court com pletely dodges the Issue and leaves the decision of a most Important ques tion to a lot of men who knows no more altout It than a lot of catfish does about Sunday. When the ques tion was 'before the State Board of Canvassers, and after the question had been argued * pro and con for several - hours by the learned xouahfil on both aids, one of the board grave ly enquired if all the people in Or angeburg County had not been al lowed to, vote on the question of forming the County of Calhoun. This shows how competent at least one tnemlter of the Imard was to pass on the Important question.' Ft would have been much better for the Court to have taken a manly stand and decided the question one way or the other, even if they had gone against the disfranchised voters, than to shift their responsibility off on an Ignorant board of State Can vassers.

The Idea that money should have an .Intrinsic value Is unsound and absolutely an tagonistic to tTie object and function of money. What we need is to go back to first principles, to Adam Smith, Instead of ^relying tipemhen. who never see anything but a dol lar. to make the financial policy of this government men who look upon money as the only product of the country, we should consult men who manage the farms, the mills and the mines, which produce the real source of our wealth and who believe that monew Is stamped by the govern : ment for the purpose of aiding them In exchanging thetr products.

BLAMES ORANGEBURG For ths Closing of the Dispensaries la Calhoun County.' The Orangeburg ^correspondent of The News and Courier says “ a rum or has gained circulation that the city of Orangeburg la responsible for the dispensary tangle In Calhftun. This was based on a portion of an article from the St. Matthew's correspon dent of The News and Couriet as fol Iowa: ‘There are iafd to he ibfiie quiet forces at work In the city of Orangebburg with a view of Injuring this community and attracting trade to the former city.' " This correspondent has made dil igent search and Inquiry, but Is un able to locate any sign or trace of the said ‘quiet forces,’ except, per haps, the prohibition forces, which, naturally, would like to see Calhoun and every other county in the State for that matter, dry. Even the pro hibition people, so far as Is known, have not been active In this matter, and If they were, their efforts would not be exerted towards' forming any prejudice against St. Matthew’s in favor of Orangeburg.” t PLANE OF INTELLIGENCE. Ths favorable reception with whleh Governor Evan's announcement of his candidacy for the United States senate has met is no doubt gratifying to him and his friends. Many papers have commented upon his letter set ting forth his views upon national Issues, but few of them are more in teresting or complimentary than this from the Charleston News and Cour ier. The Charleston paper says: Friends and opponents alike of Ex- Governor John Gary Evans must ac knowledge that his announcement printed yesterday In The New-s and Courier pitches the cmpalgn for United States senator on a plan of in telligence and puts his contestants on nqtlce that they must tie prepared not onji to discuss national issues, but to^lscuss them informlngly. Mr. Evans places iu the foreground the issue that lielangs there, the reform of the tariff, the one issue on which De mocracy has won a victory sine? the war between the states, and he urges it with the inspiring confidence of a man who has studied Jthe subject, has watched economic movements in the United States and considered th^ principles underlylng-^iem. A de claration for tariff reform Is not new In South Carolina, Tint a tariff re form declaration that Is neither par- rot-Hke norTrt*tRudlm> u " has a novel ring In a state which has neglected for years the ‘political issue most nearly affecting the prosperity of the people. We«ki oot Uke Mr. Evans.' andurae- cannut lie used In manufacturing, the white man must take his place. None but the most narrow minded, short visioned demagogue can fail to real ize the problem that confront* us. It Is cowardice to leave it to our pos terity. The" w hite man's ranks must be filled', we cannot wait for rein forcements after the battle la on. The only hope of the negro is In aegraga lion, h enlist be placed in a hopeless minority wherever he may be, other wise a rare war Is inevitable. There are only two flags, white and black, under which will you enlist? I stand for the white. Drainage. The coast section of our' State Is one of the richest in the world. Our i forefathers appreciated If and by a system of canals, endeavored to drain the swamps and claim the aiumdant fruits of the soil. I pledge my best efforts to get for our State what the West is getting for Irriga tion. We. are entitled to It and with proper representation 1{ can lie had. Water Power*. Our chief hope, to be able to man ufacture our produce cheaper than elsewhere In the world, lies In the development of our abundant natural water powers. These are now-being harnessed and brought to our doors in the form of electricity. To pre serve them it is absolutely necessary to protect the forest upon our moun- laius from the ravages of the axemen. If the trees are cut down we shall soon hate bare rocks incapable of retaining the water and our hopes for (cheap |Hiwer will be blasted. The V‘“ 1 ' v “ 11 f Appalachian Park should be estab- ment for I believe that our exports . ; ’ a i t t ^ of cotton and manufactured products should go through our own ports. The day is not far distant when we should manufacture all the cotton ' we produce? When it does come j these manufactured.products should j be warehousedT' s&kt' and exported from Charleston and our other ports. To»thls end the manufacture^ of our Stalef.$ud financiers of our' -upft cit ies should co-operate to*%Kw|» Ji Our mills Independent of outsidei capital ists. We must hasten the day' when the agents of the outside world will come to our ports to buy and ship cotton goods instead of raw cotton. To bring about this result we must have an Increase in industrial work ers of character. We cannot btiilfl mills to stand idle for want of oper atives. Already onr"Jfcbor xupply As below the demand.

Congress alone has the power to regulate Inter-state commerce. I be; lieve the laws now on the statute liooks amply sufficient to protect the peop-Upjtigalnst oppression on the part of .cOfpoi ation Interest. Their strict enfoi^ement is all that Is necessary and this will be Insured by the ap pointment of an honest commission. I have not endeavored In this paper to do more than direct attention to the most important questions as I see them. I shall in my speeches be fore the people let them know my position in every question affeefing their interests, irrespective of the’ -THflg. Taggart,. Chairman‘s of the consequences. If I am elected I shall Democratic National Committee, I’n tfte camp* but will continue, af rr™* 1 *** U* ctote* of the Etemo- ment of Congressman Hobson's Idea that congress be asked to- pension bonfederate veterans, we think that plea useless and. therefore. Inexpe dient, but It is to be said again that Mr. Evans has a reason for the faith that is in him and his ground that the North was the aggressor in bring ing on war is logically supported. In advocating an elastic currency, Mr. Evans is at one with everybody. Opposing a central United States bank he occupies historic Democratic ground, but this opposition will re quire to bd defended with other ar guments than those of .tradition and sentiment. While we Incline to agree with the Spartanburg candidate, the Greenville tfandldate. Mr. McCul lough. will deserve a considerate hearing for his cause, the argument of 1836 not necessary being pertin ent to the conditions of 1908. Mr. Evans’ position as to immi gration is at least as sound as The News and Courier’s and Senator Till man's views on the same subject- views to which another candidate. Col. George Johnstone, gave vigor-, ous public utterance at a time when Senator Tillman’s mind, we believe, was engrossed with the consideration of the negro as the best and indls- sable laborer for the Southern fields. Other parts of Mr. - ‘Evans an nouncement will arouse future dis cussion and criticism, but the truest comment that we can make on It as a whole is that its author shows clearly that he conceive* that the duties of a senator In congress re quire careful study and some under standing of economic questions af fecting the whole country, and It is refreshing to have an occasional con tribution from a candidate touching larger propositions than free rural delivery routes, highly im|>ortant as the later are sometimes. _ *F WILL BE SOLD. DISPENSARIES WILL BE RUN IN , CALHOUN COUNTY. Chief Justice Pope Sets Aside Gov ernor Ansel's Order ChMing Them and Thro ws Them Wide Open . By the grace of Chief Justice Pope, who is generally on the aide of the dispensary In his decisions, the Cal houn County dispensaries will be kept open and the new county will enjoy the revenue therefrom. It will be remembered that Governor Ansel ordered the dispensaries at St. Matthews and Fort Motte closed, but later on Chief JusticS Pope issued an order restraining the dispensaries at those places from closing their places of business as ordered by the Governor. The county dispensary board of Orangeburg'County was no! mention ed in this .order, and the question arose as to whether or not the board could continue to ship liquors into Calhoun cofinty under the provision in the Act creating the new county that the dispensaries were to be run as formerly, before the new qpunty was formed. ' ° The whole question was to haye come up before Chief Justice Pope on Tuesday but it was postponed, but Mr. Welch representing the dispen- saryltes of Calhoun secured another order from the Chief Justice direct ing the Orangeburg County board to continue to supply liquors, efc., to the Calhoun dispensaries until the further order of the Court. _ As will be seen from the order, which is published In full below, the board is granted,“leave to make such re turn herein as it may be advised.” Mr. Welch was in the city Wednes day and had a conference with the county board relative to the situa- yon. the result being satisfactory t< all parties. The board has been will ing all along to continue shipping whiskey to the Calhoun dispensaries, and the places at St. Matthew's and Fort Motte were ordered closed sole ly upon Governor Ansel's opinion that Calhoun was dry territory and his order to that effect to the board. No resistance will be made to Jus tice Pope's order on the part of the board of this county, which will con tinue to have supervision over" the Calhoun dispensaries. The view taken Is that this is a matter affecting only Orangeburg and Calhoun counties, and the matter has been adjusted to the satiwfaction - »f—bothv-—GaMxHHi- SUnds by Tobacco Trust. Hie New York World, so fond of asking irrevelant questions, may be interested in a recent issue of the publication called ‘Tobacco" and published in the interest of the to bacco trade. The, editor of "Tobac co" charges that the New York World ha» deliberately ignored im portant news, the publication ol which was not desired by the tobac co trust magnates. This trade pub lication then asks: "Can it be that Joseph Pulitzer is one of the little handful of persons who hold stock in the tobacco trust? Does the owner of the World partic ipate with Duke and Ryan in the dividends of the concern whose methods have recently been charac terized by Cotonel Henry Watterson in the Louisville Courier Journal, 'Those of the pirate, the pickpocket and the porch-climber.’ " This may account tor the New York World’s great hostility to Mr. Brvan. It knows that if he is elec ted that he will so expose the doings of the tobacco trust that its robbery of the tobacco grower *ill have to stop and as a consequence some of the ill gotten dividends of the own er of the World will" be cut short. There are All Trust* Oppose Bryan. The Times, of Buffalo, N. Y., says in its opposition to Mr. Bryan the New York World is in the company of the Standard Oil trust, the rail road trust, the sugar trust, the leather trust, the insurance trust, the paper trust, the tobacco trust, and all other trusts which are prey ing upon the people through their pull with legislatures. It is in the company of the frenzied financiers and stock gamblers of Wall Street. It is in the company of all the pre datory corporations which infest the country. All of these interests are opposed to Mjr. Bryan. They are doing all they can to eliminate him as a candidate and accomplish the nomination of some man who would be their willing tool. The plunder ers of the people know that with Mr. Bryan in the preiadency they would receive no quarter. Their hope is that with a 'conservative' in the chair they would be allowed to ply their traffic at will. It is very con genial company for the World to be in as i£ is claimed that its owner has a great deal ot stock in the various trusts.! “ - have gTways dons, to work for Ab* upbuilding of the SUto and tbs «n- llghtmont of our pooplo. cratk national convention for pres ident, and that be will make a great will derive a revenue from the retail sales of liquor at ber dispensaries, while Orangeburg will make a profit on the wholesale end. Orangeburg County, we suppose, will have to take out a wholeiale li cense now that she Is selling liquor by the wholesale to another county. It would be well for the commis sioners to look Into this matter and fix the price of their liquor according ly. As there is no limit set in Chief Justice Pope's order, we suptiose it will run indefinitely,- and therefore the dispensaries at St. Matthews and Fort Motte will be kept open until the Legislature meets and the defects la the taw remedied. The following la the last order of Chief Justice Pope: “1. That the county dispensary board for Orangeburg County, creat ed and existing under the Art of the General Assembly, commonly eaiied and known as ‘the Carey-Cothran Act, do’ from and after the date hereof, and until further ordered, contin ue to perform and exercise its duties under said Act In the territory taken from Orangeburg Conntv to form Cal houn Cpunty. the same as If said ter ritory taken to form Calhoun County was still a part of Orajigebtirg Coun ty: . ' “2. It is further ordered that said county dispensary board for Orange burg County do continue as hereto fore. and until further ordered, to supply and furnish. In the manner now provided for by law, to the dis pensaries in Calhoun County all the liquofs and other alchollc beverages now under the law allowed to lie sold in the Dispensaries and necessary to the continued conducting and opera ting of said dispensaries aa hereto fore, and while the same was In Or angeburg County. “3. It is further ordered that the county dispensary board for Orange burg County be made a party to the proceeding herein, and that a copy of the petition herein, together with the order slgued by me on the 17th day of March, 1908, be served upon the said county dispensary board for Orangeburg County, together wUh a copy of this order, and that the “Said county board have leave tb make such return herein as.lt may be ad-- vlsed.” mere are many other newspapers in the same boat with the World.

The Ohio republican platform which the Chicago Record.claims was examined and approved by President Roosevelt and Mf. Taft favors the "reduction of representa tion in congress and the electoral college in all states of this union where white and colored citizens are disfranchised." This is only a sop thrown to the negro by Roosevelt ind Taft to fool them. They, don’t, mean what they say. If they do^ then why does not the republican congress, now in session/ proceed ilong the proposed line? They are in full control of all the branches of the government and can pass any legislation they want to. Then why wait. As the Commoner says it is "tomorrow" for tariff revision; "tomorrow" for currency and bank ing reform; "tomorrow" for vigor ous and effective prosecution of trust magnates. And to the negro with respect to the proposition re ferred to it is "tomorrow" and it will be "tomorrow" forever and forever, because it is well under stood that the republican party would not dare to reduce the repre sentation Msuggested^^ “The Best ami Only Policy.” George Harvey, editor of Harper’s Weekly, reputed-be owned by John Pierpont Morgan, made an in teresting anwer to .the New York World’s query, " What is the best principle and what is the best poli cy to give the Democratic party new life?". Here is Mr. Harvey’s answer: To the Editor of th^ World: The best principle: The constitution; The next best: Tariff for revetiuc! only. The best and only policy Beat Bryan. George Harvey. Nojme is surprised that a man who edits a newspaper owned by the King of Trusts should oppose Mr. Bryan. It is a clear case of "whose bread I eat whose song I sing" with Mr. H rvey. Some time last year a little presidential boomlet was launched^ for Mr. Harvey, but it soon petered out, and since then he has been doing all he can to he ad off the nomination of Bryan. As Har per’s Weekly like the New York World, is only an echo of John Pierpont Morgan’s wishes, its abuse helps Bryan with honest people. FOR SA LE—M ISCKI.LAN EOUS.
