Wllkes & Co. | AMONG THE EXCHANGES | The Bace for Governor* , Very few of the South Carolina newspapers have become excited over the race for governor. There are sev eral good men running, the election Oi either of whom will prove to he satisfactory on the whole. The Char leston News and Courier has come out strongly for McLeod and the Columbia State has started a fight on the ground of alleged Inconsistency against Feu theistone. Few of the newspapers except the home newspapers of the candidates, and not all of these, have indicated any preference. The Journal stated at the beginning of the canvass that the second race would probably be between Feather stoue and McLeod. with Featherstone having somewhat the better of the chances for final success. Develop ments so far 111 the canvass, we think, strengthen this opinion. It does not matter very much who is governor except that the choice of the people for governor is likely to Influence the legislature In its course toward the lhiuor question. The legis lature is proverbially timid. Nearly every member of it has further po litical ambitious for himself and is determined to be most careful not to do anything that would imperil his prospects. Therefore, If they believe the people want a prohibition law. oiu- will be enacted; If not. an effort will be made to give the people what they want. This newspaper further believes thai the people of South Carolina want a State prohibition law and they are going to indicate that by el -ciing a prohibitionist. Featherstone Is for several reasons the leading prohibi tion candidate: one of the reasons be ing that he made the race in IS!>S as a prohibitionist and was defeated by the narrow majority of 3,000 votes, caused either by the treachery or the boneheadedness of the Columbia state, which at the last moment switched 'over to Fllesbe. the State dispensary | candidate. There are thousands ol people in the State who want to see Mr. Feathorstono compensated for thai piece of political butchery at the hands of those he had a tight to OX j pect to support him. -Spurtnnburg .lournnl. rcnlhcrstonc Hn> first Claim. Some of the anti-prohibition papers arc greatly exercised over the prospect of lion. C. C. Fcntherstono's election They realize that unless something is done to tear down his political strong holds, unless the confidence of the peo ple be shaken in him. Mr. Fotherstotie will in all probability be South Caro lina's next governor. Falling to find any fault or shortcomings in the man himself, his private or public life, they Would have the public believe that he has been quitty of blaring inconsisten cies In his views on the liquor ques-1 Hon. Hut what are tne facts in a nut shell? Mr. Featherstone. like every other true prohibitionist, has all down through the years, labored unceasingly to curtail the consumption of whiskey and to prohibit its sale wherever pos sible. He was loyal to the cause when it was unpopular, when it cost some thing to be a prohibitionist, lie has always taken high ground in dealing With this great moral question and has I had the moral courage to stand by his convictions.
