Let us see who are the men against whom this accusation is made: In 1898, the first prohibition candi date for governor made the race He was c. c. Peathorstone of I.aureus. He is a total abstainer. In 1900 the prohibitionists, in con vention assembled, nominated as their candidate the late Col .lame., A lloyt : of Greenville, who made the race on that issue. He never took a drink of whiskey in his life. in 1902 there was no prohibition candidate. In 1904 there was no contest for governor. In 1006 Mr. Joel ?. Minnson of Sum. (er and Mr. A. C Jon.'.- of Newbcrry made the race for governor as pro hibitionists. Both are total abstainers. It may be that the people of South Carolina will next year elect a gover nor for other reasons than ids position on the liquor question, ami if [heir choice should fall upon Mr. Manning we would certainly not regret it in the least, for he is in every way worthy and CUpablOi lilll there j> rtO necessity to misrepresent those men who in the past have stood up for what they be to misrepresent those inon who in the past have fitOOd up for what the} be Moved to be right, in the face of heavy I>tlittoal odds; men who have been consistent In their advocacy of lein?
