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ication- not for publication -but for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.

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etc., cannot be easily repealed be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repealed by the same legislature that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.
