Tillman, A C. Jones. Gov, McSweenev was the first sneaker. lie SDoke in Dart as fol a a a lows: Gov. McSweeney thanked the people of Orangeburg county for past suffrages. He had been twice elected lieutenant governor and June 2d, 1899, succeeded the late Gov. Ellerbe. lie had since succeeding Gov. Ellerbe endeav ored to'carry on all the laws of the State, to be fair and impar tial and to require all those under hiin to do the sauie. Factional lines had been obliterated, and he clnimed the credit for doing as much as any other man to bring this about. South Carolina is today regarded as one of the most progressive states in the union and there is no reason why this condition should not continue. lie hoped that nothing would occur to mar the high plane upon which he proposed to conduct the campaign. He had conducted his office on business principles and had tried to ad minister the government without friction or interference with orti cials. Whenever matters required executive action he had confer red with county delegations, on the principle of self government. He proposed to stand on his record, and fait that his record was entitled to endorsement for re election to succeed himself. He believed in liberal and heaity support of the common schools and any man who would tear down a higher institution of learning is an enemy to the State. He believed in a liberal but economical support of State colleger. He favored the building ol good roads and believed in gov ernmental appropriations to aid that work. He recalled his ef forts to revive the search for the "Black" documents and reports, his message to the legislature advocating an appropriation for that purpose, and stated that the State was now in a good way to recover large sums from the na tional government He then be J gan to talk upon the dispensary juestioa and the audience began | to li?ten more closely. He said that the liquor question in this campaign perhaps overshadows all others. For three successive elections the people have en dorsed the dispensary. It is giv ing better satisfaction now than it has ever done. The charge that dispensary constables go around armed and ready to shoot down people is not now true as these men are not now objectionable. Prohibition cannot and will not be enforced. Prohibition was tried in the interrignium when the dispensary was closed by the courts, and the State was flooded with blind tiger liquor. A gentleman in Portland, Me., had written him just a few days ago asking for information about t he dispensary, as they wanted a better thing than prohibition. It has proved a failure wherever and whenever tried. We had pro hibition when the dispensary was declared unconstitutional and ev eryone remembers how whiskey was openly sold. Take the ex perience ot these towns and counties in which prohibitory laws were trieJ and drug stores and blind tigers run night and lav mid whiskev ronld be ensilv *7 " J ?' obtained. With a prohibitory law you would not only have fret) whiskey but you would have en couragement. He said he would like tor the honest and sincere prohibitionist; and temperance people to ask themselves why the friends ol the old barroom and the advo cates of high license are so main of them advocating prohibitior and then stop long enough tc answer it. Do you suppose for i moment that they really want t( see real prohibition? Their prim< reason as stated by themselves ii to break down and overthrow tin dispensary. Their real and tru< reason is that they believe prohi bit ion would be a failure aiu then the State would adopt i license system and finally returi to the old barroom If not tha those who want to engage in th< illicit sale know that the oppor (unities are much greater unde prohibition than the dispensary. It is for the tax pays to sa; what they are going to have Will thev have the State torn ti pieces and the open and illici sale of whiskey everywhere Then vote for prohibition. Th< prohibitionists come before yoi with a regular organized party and ask you to eiect their candi date as governor I am here ad vocating what 1 believe to b< right and for the best interests o my State with no organization It is for you to say by your vote whether I have administered tin high otlice of chief magistrate ii such a manner as to merit you endorsement. If I have I asl that endorsement of my adminis (ration to which I am entitled II I have not then I am willin; to retire without a murmur. Suppose you elect a prohihi tionist governor, what assuranc have you that you will have prohibitory law, for the le^iala ture enacts the law; ?nd unles a legislature pledged lo ahsoluti prohibition be elected, there cai be no prohibition laws. (lov. McSweeney w?a cheerei upon the conclusion of his speech COL. HOYT was the next speaker. The Stat reported his speech in part a follows : Col. lloyt was not withou friends in the audience. The; greeted him warmly 011 his ap pearance. During his speed there were interruptions l>y j Yokel seated on the platform but the colonel took it till goo< naturedly. Many in the crow< asked the follow to l?'t Colone Hoyt proceed uninterrupted am Chairman Tatuni triad to sto] him. But there was but om tiling upon which Col. Hoy and his interlocutor could agrei ?br?t 1? are devotees of Isaal Walton?and they arranged t< go fishing together some day. Col. Hoyt in beginning state* that he was no stranger here, a! he had visited nearly every sec tion of the county and enjoyer the hospitality of many homes He never thought of Orange burg but what he recalled at incident which happened manj years ago. The day after tin battle of Fredericksburg ar Orangeburg bov was sent hi himself to perform a perilous duty in compliance Nvith officer of the commanding office. Thi: i l>oy, McKown, a graduate of tl i Citadel, had bravely laid dov i his life for., a noble cause., Col. Iloyt had been a frier of Gov. McSweeney for mat years, but the latter claimed be the man who broke dov factional lines. There we many in both parties who lit worked for that end. "G< ! forbid that I should ever di turb the equanimty and placid ty of the conditions in th State," he said. "That ain in the dictionary," exclainn , Col. Hoyt's tormentor. A number of gentlemen in tl audience complained that tin could hear Col. Iloyt, and cpii was preserved. Col. Iloyt then continued : "I am not here to plead n own cause or to urge for ai personal reasons that the pe pie should elevate me to tl , high ofliee of chief magistra of. the State. It is a call to du that brings me to this platfori i i.1... ..r ..... tint* IU IUU yji III> jiuiiuv I is incumbent for me to repi sent those who are dissatisfl with the present status of t liquor question. That there a many thousands who do n believe in the continuance the dispensary system, wherel the State is caused to he c gaged in the traffic of whisk as a beverage, lias been abu dantly proven in the past, ai I am confident that the oppo tion grows stronger the mo light there is thrown upon t false and pernicious system, which every citizen of the Str is made to share in traffic. "We deny that it is a prop function of the government engage in this business for t money there is in it, and ' utterly repudiate any respon bility for the baneful con quences that inevitably lb a from the distribution of t # great curse of mankind amo j the people by sworn officials the State If the envpnun' t, " A4 can engage in the sale of liqi for the profit which may derived therefrom, then it r legitimate for the governnu to build cotton mills, a sell general merchandise, or anything else that will lik< D I raise money so that the ta: 1 L.rill lw, ..mlnm.,1 nn.l ? in i/i7 i cviuvru ai ivi a |/riiov7o j the public service will bo ci j tailed. The principle of selli livuor for a profit is identi< ' I with selling any other co ~ modify for gain, and the ad cates of the dispensary hr j | never claimed that it is right engage in other lines of i trade. 8 | . ? . .
