Briatow. of Williamston, who has been identified with the prohibition movement in this 8tate ever since he attained citixenship. was in the city yesterday in the interests of the Chautauqua to be given in Willlamston this summer. In view of his connection with the prohibition movement, he was asked what the campaign outlook promises. He declared that a prohibition candidate will be elected. "I had hoped that the prohibitionists would go into the primary this year with only one candidate for gov ernor," said Mr. Brfstow, "bat I tee by the papers that there will be at least two In the race who will espouse the cause of State-wide prohibition. While I know prohibition sentiment has frown greatly In South Carolina during the last 12 years, and while I do not doubt the election of a prohibitionist to be governor. yet I would like to see only one candidate, that the total prohibition vote might be cast for him. Furthermore I would like to see that candidate be C. C. Featherstone. He is the logical exponent of prohibitionists. being the most prominent prohibitionist in the State, and one of whose sincerity there can be no question. 'and of whose ability and fitness no one doubts. "Mr. Featheretone's record on the question is long and consistent Twelve years ago he ran for governor on the prohibition platform when it was not popular in the State, and a change of 1,500 totea then wonld hare made him governor. He haa stood firmly and fought well ever since. Four years ago he was urged to ran again, bnt he felt that first of all the old State dispensary should he destroyed, to accomplish which was needed the combined strength of all its opponents. Two years ago his snotable correspondence with Governor Ansel revealed the governor's intention to advocate and recommend the reversed local option law, which was, in efect, what Mr. Featherstone had outlined as, at that time, a desirable policy for 8tate-wide prohibitionists to pursue. atMr. Featherstone is preeminently the man for the prohibitionists," continued Mr. Bristow. "He is a splendid campaigner, as was shown in 1898, when he opposed some of the best speakers in the State, and successful politicians, and defeated them all save Governor Ellerbe, who had the seoond term sentiment in his favor, as well as the dispensary at his back."' Mr. Bristow declared that Mr. Featherstone's record on prohibition is so well known that this will be bnt a small factor in his campaign this summer, and that Mr. Featherstone will devote his time to the discussion of matters relative to the material development of the State. After paring a compliment to Mr. Featherstone, who has worked his war in the world from printer's apprentice to special Judge, sitting in numerous courts and a citizen of known integritr and success. Mr. Bristow concluded: "Yes, C. C. Featherstone is the logical prohibition candidate. He is not a novice; not a recent convert to the cause. He is able and fearless, of a dear record and a clean life; and I believe will be the next governor of South Carolina."?The State. GIYElf THK FROBKJf HAND.

The Poor Boy Who Blade Good. The recent death of Governor John A. Johnson, of Minnesota, recalls to the American people a wonderful story of what clear grit can do for a poor American boy, says a writer in Success. Born in poverty, hemmed in on every band by seemingly insurmountable obstacles, without friends, or opportunity for education or advancement of any sort, with a drunken father in the almshouse, who had left to him and his sturdy Scandinavian mother the task of supporting the family of seven, John A Johnson has added one more name to the glorious role of American boys with "no chance" who hare conque red adversity and risen to distinc- v tion. When yopng Johnson was fourteen, he got a position in a store at $2.50 a week. The weather was biting, the mercury being often far below sero in that Northern winter. Although the boy had only a thin summer alpaca coat, he absolutely refused to buy an overcoat, and turned every cent he earned over to his mother. His employer offered to sell him a coat on credit, but he could not be persuaded to ran in debt; besides, he said, with great emphasis, that his underclothes were "awfully warm." He got a chance, later, to make a little extra money by working evenings, inking the roller for a handprinting press, pumping the bellows in a black-smith's shop, and carrying mail to houses outside the postal delivery route. In this way he earned enough to buy a cheap coat The boy's great ambition was to make something of himself, to stand for something, and he left no stone unturned to effect his object He tried for months to get a place in the village drugstore, because he thought he could learn so much from the politicians who gathered there in the evening. Many times th* nmitpintnr tnM Mm ka k?H ma place for him, but when be found jj that the boy would not be turned down he sure him a position at a re17 small salary. 8 How can yon keep down a boy with each grit after he has once J learned the alphabet? While thousands of bpys and girls in Minnesota e were complaining that they had "no B chance" to get an education or a start in the world, this poor boy managed to find a way to get both, even while straggling to carry the burden which his drunken father had dropped on the shoulders of his mother and himself. Where other boys aaw only mediocrity and humdram lives, he aw the opportunity for great things. What did a boy with such grit care for obstacles! He felt that he was ready for anything that should get in his way. A chance was all that he wanted, and he did , not wait for this to come to him? he made It In spite of heavy handicaps, which would hare crushed a less resolute soul, young Johnson climbed steadily upward until he was finally nominated for governor of his great State?Minnesota. . Aand here his grit and manhood , were put to a terrible test His enemies tried to kill him politically by ' posting placards in every conceivable c place throughout the 8tate. abusing his foreign antecedents, and urging j people to vote against John A. John- ^ son, because "his father was a drank- f en loafer and his mother took in ^ washing." Transparencies of the j same character were carried In pa- h rades in many parts of the 8tate. ~ copy of the certificate of his father's f death in the poorhonse was also circulated far and wide in an effort to discredit his candidacy, but in spite of all these contemptible subterfuges of his enemies to defeat him he was elected governor by an overwhelming majority. More than that, be was twice re-elected to the offioe by popular vote, tens of thousands cff men of the opposite political party voting for him. In his days of poverty and stress in St. Peter, young Johnson never said to himself, "There are no opportunities in this little backwoods village. If I am ever to amount to anytlllnv 1 ?n?a# M trt m vMat altw a uiuov 5V w m B t vav i?ivj where the opportunities are." He resolved to make good at home, right t where he was born. c "My ambition." said Governor e Johnson, after his first election to the f governorship, "was to make good in the town where I was born, make good for myself and the folks?and I did.*' 1 l~ >' - " ' * 4.
