THE PEOPLE'S JORNAL VOL 12.-NO. 40. PICKENS. S. C., THURSDAY, NOVEMBER 20 !902 9 ONE DfLrAR A Vn~AD MR. HEYWARD'S STATE POLIO HAS PLANS WELL OUTLINE] Tho Dispensary Law Must Ri Respected and the People Ari Expected to Suistain the Gov ernor. Charleston Eyening Post. Following his nomination in tha Democratic primary in September last Capt. D. C. Heyward, who was choser at that time as the nominee of the party, gave expression to the opiniou that inasmuch as he had not been formally elected Governor, being only the candidate of the party, he felt that it was premature for him to give any defilite expression as to his purposes or plans, and that he felt that it was more within the bounds of propriety for him to await the election of No. vember 4 before giving his attention to those matters which come within the sphere of the Governor. This course on the part of the Demo. cratic nominee was entirely proper, and his determination to abstain from any public announcement of an official character or to take up the cOnsilora tion of those matters which pertain to his office was appreciated and endorsed by tle public. Although it is generally recognized that the nomination in the December primary in South Carolina is tantamount to an election and has almost become to be so regarded by our people, nevertheless such is not actually the case and the indelicacy of a candidate of one of the political parties planning his course of action and giv iug public utterance as to his purposes before he was actually elected will readily.be seen, and thn wisdom of the course pursued by Capt. Heyward ap preciated. The election of last week, at which time the unanimous vote of the State was cast for him, however, removed these restrictions of propriety and in asmuch as he is now legally the Gov ernor-elect-requiriug only the oath of ollice as necessary to make him in truth the Governor of the State- it is natural and proper for him to be giv ing his thoughts and attention to the manifold duties v 'ich confront him, and to be plannin3 to put into execu tion those ideas and put poses which he trusts will materially advance the in terest of the State in every branch agriculturally, mechanically, educa tionally, morally ni industrially. In the hope of giving to the readers ,of The Evening Post some suggestions as to what the Governor-elect purposes doing, your correspondent called upon him at his comfortable home in Walter bore and solicited from him some in formiation along the line indicated above. Gov. Heyward confidingly in formed your representative that the re turns of the evening of November 4 were not as anxiously secured as were those:of August 26th or September 9th, and, strange as it might seem, he was not in the least nervous as to the re sult. He felt grateful, however, for the way his friends had turned out and cast their ballots for him, even if it was merely a perfunctory matter. " I realize already," said Gov. Hey ward, " that the office to which I have been elected is no sinecure. To faith fully and honestly discharge the duties which devolve upon me will bd my constant aim, but it will. call for the exercise of unceasing and earnest ef-| -forts, and I am relying on my friends throughout the State and on all patri-1 -otic citizens to support me in my ef -forts, letting past dlifferences be0 for gotten andl each and every one con Lrib)uting to the bettering andl upbuild ing of the State we all love so dearly. I can not hope to escape criticism nor can I expect to have my administra tion be devoid of mistakes, but when It is remembered that the Governor is called upon to make appointments in localities with which he is almost al together unfamiliar, and has to depend on the recomnmendations which are handed to him it will be seen just how likely it is for a poor appointment to be made, especially when half of a community will sometimes sign the \ application of parties they personally know to'be unfit for the office to which they aspire. It will be my purpose, as I have already publicly announced, to rely upon the recommendation of the several county delegations in making county appointments, violating this rule only for good and suficient rea sons. Should I find, that the recoin mendation of any delegation is such' that it Is clear that they are not acting for. the best interest of the community, but are ,using the trust reposed ir them. . for selsh purposes or to ad vance their own interest at tho sacri. flee of their communities, welfare, . will not feel bound to accept their re comnmendations then or thereafter-rn' sole object being to give to each com un he'offlcials and ap pointmenta most desiredl by them and best calcu Iated;to accordthem the most accept abl s,ervice, and I believe, as a genl (xal .rple,. the -,will of the' pople ca1 best be attained through this miedium that; by attempting direet appoini -- ments on i knowledge which may b - ., given to me by the means of petition N .Tha l,ettering of thie commnen sehio facilities is afsttter which is gii the Governor elect soe cosoriarte fi~nd he ia endeatoring t6 49vS ineat by which 'the oppoMtunitief O ,facift a fair educalon .within~ the ~qo every hamilt mg joe. fach a highr ecIucatid4 he r'a ohs that ~ are A e6 e po4a op n tlid put of Senate and Legislature who will li after the interest of colleges and u versities, so he will devote himself the present to fostering and aiding schools in the rural districts. TilE DISPENSAItY LAW. The enforcement of the disponsr law has been the subject of much ct sideration by the Governor olect, a he is hopeful that under his admin tration much of the friction which li existed in the past muay be obliteratc The law is on the statute book and per cent of the people of the State a advocates of it, and as law-abidii citizens those opposed to it shou abide by the law and support it. I is not unmindful of the hardshij which confront him in the dischart of hi& duty in regard to this law certain localities, and he can only d penud on the public spirit of the peop to sustain him in his efforts not t have the law wantonly violated. le believes that the wishes of a con niuuty should be recognized, but 1: has not power to exempt, any commui ity or section of the State from the of oration of the law, and under h] oath of olice lie will have to carr out the law without favor to all pari and portions of the State. HIe doc not expect to be able to absolutely prc hibit the illicit selling of lfquors-i the larger cities it will be almost in: possible to do so-but he is determin ed that there shall bd a respect showi to the law and that gross and flagran violations shall be unknown, and if th law is violated it will be done in a surreptitious a manner as to elude th vigilance of the city police and Stat constables, and can not, therefore, b, offensive to the God-fearing and law abiding people of our State and be i monace to the growing youth of on cities, who, by seeing laws openll violated, simply because they are dis tasteful, will soon learn to hold ou whole system of government in con tempt. IIe did not anticipate serious troubli along that line, as the law is not nov as objectionable as it has been, anm there is a stronger feeling prevalen to give the law a fair trial which ii some places it has never had, and be sides, the public in general ate not un mindful of the serious results of wil fully trampling a law in the dust, jus because it was objectionable. Thi factional feeling having subsided, thi patriotism of the people is assertint itself, and the blind tigers will be madi to go way back and sit down. It is evi dent that the Governor-elect is deter mined to select as his constables gooc and true men, who can be relied on t see that the law is respected, but to di so in such a manner as not to arousi any unnecessary friction or to ocoasioi a bitter feeling. IIe believes that much can be of fected through the medium of loca authorities and is going to exert him self to that end. Ile believes that thin justice of the position which lie takei will be appreciated by those to whon the law may be personally offensive and that they will be among his warmest advocates in maintaining thi law and keeping true to his oath o office and campaign pledges. le wil be disappointed if his expectation along this line are not realized. AS TO APPOINTMI NTS. IIe has been giving the matter o his nilitary stalf some att,ention and has his eye on those whom lie wishc to make a part of his official family These appointments are of such character as to exclude them from th list which is usually applied for, as i rarely occurs that personal aipplicatio is made for a staff ap)pointment, being generally accepted that the Go; ernor should be hand9 free in selectin those who are to become his bed guard. Even the selection of thos are a source of much thought, and car has t.o be exercised so that all sectioir are recognized and given representi tion as far as practicable, and thus Is that frequenitly the best of fricnt. have to be overlookud in order to mali place for another, because of the locahi he halls from. It is safe to say ti I he personnel of Gov. Uoy ward's sta will be exceptionally fine, and be r presentative of the best and brighite of the young manhood of the State. Ie has been deluged with applic tions for almost every appoint,ive c flee in the State, but beyond selectir his private secretary in the person Mr. J. E. Nornient, which lie gratilledl to know was so satisfactori receivedl, he hans abstained from givit such applications any very serious co sideration. Very few of those poi tions can be flle~d until seime ti .after his inauguration, and probab many of them not until after the a journmont of the Legislature, an therefore, there is no necessity for h time and attention to be devoted .their consideration at this junctui a when so many more pressing and ii . portant matters are under considel .tion The many applicat,ions, thei . fore, are simply being ackno a ledged and filed away for futi a reference. The inauguration di . has not been definitely dleterm e ed upon, although it is probable ti a the usual precedlent will be follow and the momentous event occur I d Oecond week of the legislat,ive sessin g T'he Governor .is now giving so ,thouight to his Inaugural message, 4 order that the consideration of t: giiort.pnt document may be dispo: C0t 1is1 in fine spirita and doies U+~l'O40~ that the cares or oilee aI i$o at lha any way with hi1s usui 1. ~~ W ~ f.I alestine are intl -l d fihJews who returne< O. tf I 1jtIrope.

Jones in Atlanta Journal. is as BIy the way, I spent last Sunday in d. Rome, dedicating a country church 75 out from town and preaching Sunday rc night in iome at the First Methodist church and they were from Cappadocia, Id Asia, Pontius, Pamphylia and the re [e gions round about. 'T1hey were ex pecting something and they were not )s disappointed. I walked up the streets e of Rome on Saturday night and it was n a q(;iet town. The dispensary is doing 3- business in Rome, but not a land e ollice business by any means. I under o staud they have only paid a thousand dollars into the treasury of the town - and county since it was inaugurated. e I told them in preaching to them that they had had the choice between thir teen saloons and one dispelfsary; that s they deliberately and intelligently y chose the dispensary, and having chos s en the dispensary that question was s settled for the present, and now the only question up was, what will you a do with your dispensary? It is your kid, I said to 'hen. If it behaves well, - all's well, if it misbehaves, spank your i kid and make it behave. t The dispensary in Rome, as evil as 3 it is, is a thousand times lesser evil J than 1i3 saloons running in full blast, 3 but the dispensary in Rome, un less right sentiment shall be built up and maintained about it, will soon de - scend to the level of the Athens dis pensary, or deeper still, to the dept he r of the South Carolina dispensary. I can see how good men can vote for a - (lisponsary in preference to 13 saloons. i As I said to them in 1(ome, one vicious - dog tied inside of a building is a thou sand tins better than thirteen hungry 3 tigers turned loose on the streets. The dog chained in the room during the I day time and lockedi up in a dungeon L after sundown. Now I said, gentle men, instead of advertising your liquor and publishing your liquor, advertise - the fact that, you have got a vicious dog chained in your dispensary and that he will bite, and you advise no body to go in there, but say to them, if you will go in you will be bit just like thousands of others have been bit by that vicious animal. I am in favor of a dispensary rather than the open saloon, but we don't want any dispen- I sary in dry counties and dry towns. There are as many blind tigers hover ing around the dispensary as over set up in dry towns. The blind tiger in the dispensary town does business at a night after the dispensary closes. r There will be blind tigers any and r everywhere that dirty scoundrels live to sell whisky and dirty vagabonds livo to buy it. I am proud to say that the Rome dispensary, so for, has been well managed, and so long as it is well managed it can never (1o a land oilice business. The management of a dis pensary has got to hold it up or it will drag them down. Human philosophy tells us, take the lesser of two evils; divine philosophy tells us, take neith or. I have always contended that. a saloon run decently, by a respectable a, 'vas a much more dangerous place for our boys than a bum saloon run by an old bum. 10 is a question in my mind hiow far Christianity can go in its control and mhaniagement of the sale of liquor, of bawdy houses, or gamn bling hells, without being particeps tcriminis to the dlevilmnent (lone by -them. Suppose Christianit,y takes chiarJ of every gambling hell in America and guarantees a fair deal andl adlvertiscs to the boys, " (3Omel in, eyou shan't be swindled in this game; you shall lose your money in a decent way." it The Blapt,ists turn their memblers out is for gearing up wit,h the dispensary, as :c a rule. Methodists sneak and skulk yfrom under by saying there is no law i, in the church to handle them for the ff offence. .No church has all the good e- in the world ini it. As a Methodist, I at say the Methodists head the procession on doctrine, but I am sorry to say a- some other churches seei to be ahead f. of us on discipline, and I believe the ig Methodist church is the only church of t,hat publishes andl circulates a dliscip is ine. The dispenisary sells t,he same ly kid of liquor the saloon does, and gwhen a man is tanked up oni dispenl n-. sary or saloon liquor he is. rcady for si- anything t,he devil want,s done. d.
