No Enemies to Punish Nor Friends to Reward. "In entering the campaign as a candidate for the nomination ot governor I expect to stand on my record in the administration of the office during the lime 1 have held it. Upon that record 1 am going before the people and *sk their endorsement. If an administration has been successful the custom has been to endorse it by a re election, and I invite the ! closest scrunity of the adminis| tration, and if it has not been successful and businesslike and non political, then 1 do not ex pect to ask the people to endorse it; butif it has been businesslike and froe from blunders; if the [ affairs of the State hare been ad ministered by me as chief executive in a wise and judicious manner and in such a way as to emphasize the fact that I have endeavored to be the governor of all the people and have carried out my promise that I had no political enemies to punish and no political friends to reward ; if I factional differences have been wiped out and the people have been brought together; if there has been progress and prosperity in the State under my auminis juration; if the law his been enforced and peace and good 'order h>i"e rrcv?Ued throughout the State ; if these thing* are and have been, then I feel that 1 have a right and it is my duty to aRk my fellow citizens to endorse my j administration by giving mo the ; nomination in the approaching primary. And 1 believe that the sense of justice which character tzes the people of South Carolina will give the endorsement 1 seek. 1 stand ready to meet any criti j eism of the administration and I desire only to be judged by the record. "Much has been done during the past year to restore good feeling among our people and to bring all factions together and to get all the people in harmony and working together for the i progress and development and upbuilding of the State, i "The State has gone forward more rapidly ip the past year in material development than in several years preceding, atul every day wealth is seeking investment in our borders and new enterprises are going up in all portions of the State. The people 1 are happy and prosperous. Busi1 ness conditions are good. The administration has the confidence of the business men and all of the State officers are working in accord for the achievement and development of South Carolina. "The management of the State hoHpital for the insane is excellent and economical. "The afFairs of the panitentiJtr.v are in excellent condition and ' the superintendent and board of directors have managed the insri tntion with good business judg ment. "Under the reorganization of i the dispensary the management has been good and entirely satisfactory. The board of directora ' and commissioners are working in barmopy. "The chief plank in my plat form iH that 1 have honestly and faithfully tried to do the right as 1 saw it, and to conduct the af fairs of my office on business principles and free from politics and to recognize in county af , fairs Hie right of local self gov ernment. Neither have 1 assum ' ed to discharge the duties of any other departpient of the govern ' ment, but have treferred all I matters pertaining to the differ ent departments to which they I properly belonged. "As to my position on those ( matters upon which there is dif ( ference of opinion 1 refer to my annual message to the legisla Hire. "The education of the people i* ? ... i...i....._i. ..r ,.t ...... uir uii in ni i\ ui uu i i ui ui 111 eminent.

C injure them by withholding more than is uecessary for their proper , and edequate maintenance. "In ray message 1 recommended a small appropriation to make search for the Black report, which was considered recessary to establish the claim of the State against the general government. This report, as a result of this recommendation and the appropriation which was made, has been found and forwarded to Sen ator Tillman, and it is hoped that , it will supply the missing link necessary to establish the claim of theStat9 and thus enable the State to pay the claim of the general government against the State and also have a considerable balance to our credit. '"As to the dispensary my position on this question is well knowu. In a circular which I isR II pH in A liornat nf lool uno. * " ? I. ~ . < ?? wp^uni VI I?c*v J ?:n ? tu I IIU magistrates I stated that I believed that the dispensary system, if properly and wisely enforced, was the best solution of the liquor question yet devised. I took the same position in my message to the legislature and 1 have had no occasion to change my views on this subject. Much of the opposition that formerly existed to the dispensary system has now been changed into 11r hearty support, and even many of those who still oppose it are willing to give it further trial and have ceased their active opposition. ' I also issued last year a circu lar letter to the mayors and in tendants of the towns and cities of the state asking their co-operation in the enforcement of the law. They with one accord piomised their hearty co opera tion and 1 helieve the records will bear me out in the statement that the law lias been better en (orced during the past year than ever helore since it was put on the statute hooks. ' I reduced the constabulary t 1 ?i-~ ?i?? iun:c itnu in iiie Neiecuon oi con stables have endeavored to secure men of character and standing, and I am glad to say that in the enforcement ot the law there has been no conflict between the con stables and citizens. The constabulary force is now considerably smaller than it was when I came into otlice and 1 believe 1 can truthfully say without mak ing invidious comparisons, much more efficient. "In tho city of Charleston, by wise and discreet management, we were enabled to show that the United States officers were using the custom house as a stor age lor blind tiger whiskies and without conflict between the state and national authorities, and as a C lilt g\ 4* t 1 t t\ ll\IIOotl??.?f 1/\M * "* I l?l? i ?f* 11 i i wi i lie 111 * vol i^di 1 * / 11 ill tllln case the most notorious republican in the state was removed from otlice and another, and I hope better, man put in his place. *%Of course, there are still vio latinos of the law, but whenever it has come to my knowledge that the law was being violated and the illicit sale of whisky was being engaged in, in any community, I have promptly sent officers there with instructions to stop the illicit sales. I Know there are good and true men and democrats who are honestly and sincerely advocating prohibition, but 1 am fully con vinced that prohibitory laws will not promote temperance, the object sought by these people; but, on the contrary, it a pro hibitory law was enacted, blind tigres and the elicit sale of whis key would increase and there 1 would be ne machinery and no revenue with which to put a stop to it. For this reason many of those who are in favor of the open borroom and the sale of .whiskey are advocating prohibition,* and even those who are in favor of the I ice 11 Re system advocating i prohibition because they are convinced in their own minds that prohibition will he a failure, and ' if they can by these means repeal the dispensary law they feel that J. they will then he in a position to secure what, they want?the Rale of whiRkev under a Hcpnae ays em. I do not believe that it , would J>e wise or good judgment I at this time to have the iState r^orn up by n change of system ENT1 ELELKL^Y. SATURDAY, JUN! for the handling of I ho liqn question, and for that reason, for no other, it would be betl to let the dispensary systt stand. If the honest and since advocates of temperance won stop and consider I am sure th would reach the conclusion tli the dispensary system, proper managed and enforced, is a b< ter temperance measure than pi hibition would be. "In addition to this it is n the province of the governor enact, laws, but simply to s that those placed on the statu books by the legislative dopai ment are enforced, and the ele linn nf o nmhikitim, mmoi-.. ?' v....... would not mean necessarily t enactment of a prohibitory la UI will attend all of the cai paipn meetings where they < not interfere with my offici duties."

Now learn what the words ''ready to perish" mean. Itis this: Those fin who have sinned past the day 1,1 of grace, that have blasphemed against the Holy Ghost. You ICdon't know who they are,do you ? :>n . Now, therefore, don't give it to of any. Let us have prohibition a Well, how shall we get it !?by in1K tlueneing our State legislature to pass a law to prohibit any one from bringing any intoxicating Gf li(|Uors into the State. Our ey national legislators have fixed an ny international trade union giving all the right to trade with any ami all nations, to buy and sell. There are some in South Carolina who want liquor. Can a State legislator prohibit them from bringing it from other States or ** i nations when our national le^is ! lators say they shall liave the 'h riyht ( How then shall we net ft 11 in- prohibition? By holding a nation al prohibition convention and n?- influencing congress to out before ?ld the people ol the United States a If you liave anything to sell advertise it in Mm?ad the Enterprise Rates reasonnble. No. 23 prohibition amendment to our constitution and let the people vote for it and if a majority vote for prohibition tlieu congress can frame an amendment, prohibiting the buying and selling of intoxicating liquors with any and all nut ions. Now, I have proved by the Bible that God requires prohibition of intoxicating liquors of all nations and this is the only way by which this nation can ever attain it. Now you will ask tnc ^id not God put the liquor hen*? I will answer you that God is not the author of contusion and liquor causes confusion. Then you inav say did not God inspire man to make it. 1 will answer you from Kclesiastes 7, 29, Psalms 100, 29, also 99, 8, Exodus 32. May God bless his truth. 1). P. II. & 1). M. S.
