SENATOR fi. I). SMITH. Years have elapsed since South Caro inla has seen such a campaign as was ended last Tuesday by the sweeping election to the United States g< n < o of Hon. B. I). Smith, of Florence tip posed to him was probably the mos1 widely known campaigner, perpetual candidate, in the State; a representa tive of 1902 Tillmanism, the legislator of dispensary fame, an ox-governor, the erstwhile farmers' friend, but more recently the business man's candidate. Many people honestly believed that John Gary Evans would go to the senate this year, but THE PEOPLE said not. The people rule. Mr. Smith received a most flattering vote a handsome ma jority, of which he maybe justly proud. While we by no means especially ad mire Mr. Smith, still we are convinced that he has been and is giving carnc t thought and labor in behalf of the farm er; because of this alone he is entitled to our respect and commendation. Mr. Evans is the farmers' friend during a campaign. Mr. Smith has been hon ored by the people cf hi Stale; we hope, ami in fact we believe, ho will prove himself worthy the trti t. TWO YEARb HENCE. Says the Spartanburg Journal: The candidates for governor two years hence will probably be ('. C. Feather- I atone of Laurens. Richard I. Manning 1 of Sumter, It. Goodwyn Uhett of Char leston and Cole L. Blcaseof Newberry. And there may be others. Just why the Journal thinks Mayor Uhett will be a candidate for governor two years hence, we cannot say. Ml*. Uhett would make just as good a gov ernor as senator, and he would do for South Carolina what he has done for Charleston, and more; but we hope he will not offer for the governorship In 1910. Mayor Uhett should go to the senate four or six years hence, but he does not need the governorship as a stepping stone. His campaign just closed was one of the most remarkable in our recollec tion. Comparatively a stranger in the state, he entered the lists and made a clean clear cut campaign, running oil his own merits; the vole he received was a compliment to such methods and had he been better known the result might have been different; let him offer for the senate again. As We see it, the candidate who can best base his claim:; for gubernatorial honors in 1910 is Hon. C. C. Feather stone, of Laurcns. The people of South Carolina have indicated in the election of 1906 and 1908 their sentiment oh the whiskey question, of course they will not stand for Cole L. Blcase, nor what he represents; and while Hon. Richard I. Manning is a clean, strong man, his views on the state dispensary have been turned down by the voters. Stronger and stronger is growing the sentiment that SoUth Carolina BhouW no more lic ense her counties to sell whiskey than that she herself be n whiskey dealer. Mr. Fcathorstono is the logical candi date for governor in 1910. W*0 are not disposed to crow over any success or victory such is not our idea. But we do say it, and without reserve, that the prohibitionist in Laurens should feel encouraged over the successes just achieved. Now for the November i lec tion! There must be no let-up in our activities if Laurens county wishe s to free herself from her public disgrace. Every voter should re-register, no matter if you did vote last Tqe day without re-registering; you cannot do so in November. Our congratulations to the successful candidates. To the defeated wo say try again: remember Joe Johnson. Just how many Watts of electricity there are in a Holt of lightning or bow much Power is in the discharge of a Cannon we cannot say. But this we know, and know it well, that campaigns and elections are cruel affairs; for while Mock-ing Byrds are singing sweetly over head, there arc some in the bot tomless Pitta of despair where there is wailing and Nash-Ing of teeth. Who was the man who started "Somebody Lied" just at this season of tiie year? When the news comes to us that Sen ator Smith, of South Carolina, has put Wall street out of business and killed all the manufacturers' trusts and cor porations in the country we will be pre pared to cheer lustily.

Stewart, one of the last two surviving lieutenant generals of the Confederate States Army, died at his home here Sunday. Although in his 87th year and suffering from the infirmities of old age Gen. Stewarts death was sudden and came as a distinct surprise to relatives and friends. A native of Tennessee, Gen. Stewart lived the greater part? of his life in that State but os late had been making his home in Biloxi, where he found the salt air and pine woods of great benefit to hiB health. He was born at Itogersyille, Hawkins county, Tennessee., Otc. 2, 1821, and received his early education in that state. Later he was appointed in the United States academy at West Point, and graduated from that institution in June, 1842. At the outbreak of the Civil war he was commissioned as a brigadier gen eral in the Confederate States army, made a major general in 18G3, and re ceived his commission as a lieutenant general one year later. The close of the war found him in command of the Army of Tennessee. Only three months ago, Gen. Stephen D. Lee, commander in chief of the Uni ted Confederate veterans, who held the commission of a lieutenant general in the Confederate army, answered the last roll call, and his death left only two officers of the Confederacy of equal rank. These were Gen. Stewart and Gen. Simon Bolivar Buckner of Kentu cky. Gen. Stewarts death Sunday therefore leaves Gen. Buckner as the only surviving lieutenant general in the Confederate States Army. The body was shipped shortly before midnight to St. Louis, Mo., where Gen. Stewart lived for a number of years. The funeral was held in St. Louis Wednesday. Just Exactly Right.

Lawyer Duncan Is Disbarred. The supreme court on last Friday handed down a decision in the disbar merit proceedings against .John T. Dun can, ordering Duncan's certificate license to practice before the courts of the state cancelled. The decision is based on the ground that Duncan pre sented false affidavits to the court in a case in which he was attorney for a negro. The negro, Hunter, had been convicted of shooting a* member of a sheriff's party and the false affidavit introduced was one purporting to have been made by another negro, one Tay lor, in which the latter confessed that he had done the shooting, and oxhunor ated Hunter. The decision also states that any hesitation as to putting Dun can's disbarment is dispelled by the facts that a number of reputable mem bers of the Columbia bar swore at the hearing that they would not believe Duncan on oath and that seme years ago Duncan was summoned he fore the supreme court to show cause why he should not be disbarred. At thai lime the court took a linientview of his case and dismissed the charge after adminis tering a reprimand to the defendant. In 1896 Duncan opposed ex-Governor John Gary Evans for the nomination for United States senator.
