I \SI<;m;1? communications. | 'I'lit- Advertiser lias frequently taken the pains to call attention to the rule governing communications submitted to this newspaper for publication. However Innocent the article offered for use in our columns, The Adverti ser must know the writer, the author's name must he signed to the commun ication- not for publication -but for our information and protection. Only this week two unsigned letters have been received, but for the reasons giv en above they have been treated as all others coniing under this class. ? * * what i fa niiMtsTONi: hid not SUPPORT. it's the field against Foatherstoue. The only matter in doubt is who will he in the second race ngntust Feather, stone and wo are indulging high hopes that thai man will he 12,000 votes behind Featherstono. Anyway, they all know they are running against Feathorstouo, Except Mr. Hyatt, who in our opinion stands no chance whatever to mi a larga vote, Mr. Font hers tone is the only man in the race who never supported t ie State dispensary. ? . * nil; >lUO.NGF.ST man. No largo practical results an- at tached to the prohibition question this year, much as it Is discussed. The state is mudo up of PI counties. Of these ?'?I hovo prohibition, of the six wet counties, fivo voted for county dispensaries by majorities, we believe of abotll 200 or under or perhaps the majority in the live were nearer I en except in Alk mi. Even in Richland the dispensary majority was handy over loo. Tho one strong anti-pro hibition county in South Carolina is Charleston and th .. county is. what ever it may he. nut in favor of the county dispensary syst,'in. In other words, prohibition would not percep tibly increase the number of blind ti gers in Charleston for the simple rea son that Charleston probably now has all the blind tigers that the county can support. There is not trade In Charleston lor more. Prohibition WOUld he Unpleasant for Charleston because the county and city would he deprived of dispensary profits; it would not Change the situation in the least so far as tho observance of law is concerned, A State prohibition law would re main on the statute hooks so long as it was acceptable to the people. Tlx dispensary regulations as to the sale of liquor by the original package, etc., cannot be easily repealed be cause they are written in the Consti tution. A prohibition law could he repealed by the same legislature that enacted it or by the next if either should so wish. Mr. McLood, an ingratiating gen. tleman and honest man. scorns to be centered upon as the local option can didate bill Mr. McLood docs not advo cate local option. Limited option Is ids platform- options limited to coun ty dispensaries or prohibition. License high license or low lloonso, is consti tutional in South Carolina and that is what at least one. county. Charles ton, prefers. Mr. McLood doe.- not support local option he dare not Kay tlial he would recommend a law al lowing Individ mla to sell wblskoy at a low llcanse, say $200 a year, if a county ohoujd so wish, M ??. McLeod'u platform is i:i principle no more a local option p': tforin than Mr. Feath i eratono'a?because it no: a local option piatfori I tii all. it Is a two option platform. "Local county op> ilon means, practically, if i ; onus anything, the permission hi law to a county to si II o> not to k ?!! with y in any way hoi forbidden by tho con stitution. Nolther Mr. McLood nor Mr. Feathorstone win cot ton! thai every county. Charleston for . sample? handle the whiskey question under a law acceptable to their Citizen*. If Charleston prefers McLeod to Feath erstone. it is because Charleston Is less afraid of MoLood's enforcing the law than of Featherstono enforcing it?though of course the revenue, ar gument has an inlluenco. In The Advertiser's Judgment Feath? erstono is easily the ablest man, the best equipped, the most competent business man in the race. Ho can best bo depended on to enforco any law?the law again .t larceney, or sell ing eocaino or against murder. In emorgencien ho will he resolute and prompt; ho is an experienced and broadly grounded lawyer and a ma:: of vigorous common sense and moral and every other kind of courage. He is a sagacious business man. he is accustomed to dealing with business (luestions outside ol Iiis law practice, and Ik- commands the confidence of business men. The (|UOStloil of re funding Iii?' State ?lebt will come up early in the term of the noxl governor and of all the candidates Mr. Fenther sloilO is far and away l)OSl fitted to handle It. Perhaps somobody will say thai The Advortlaor is biased in his favor but Tin? Advertiser knows , hill), lias known him ;i long time too, and the longer it lias known him. the more it has believed in him. .MILL Mi:\ VISIT LAI KKN.S. _ I Party of "Those Who .Make the Cloth" from Pel/or and Helton.
