THE.STATE EXECUTIVE COMMITTEI!
Elsewhere we publish the full pro
ceedings of the State Executive Com
mittee. By the rules adopted by th
committee the coming primary resolve
itself into a white lirimary solely an<
simply. So far as we are concerned wi
have no objection to such a plan. Ever:
one who will take the pledge to abid
the result is entitled to vote, whethe
he be Popuiist,Republican or Democrat
Of course if he takes part he will b
bound to support the nominees. Tha
suits The Herald and News all right
We are for anything in South Carolin:
that is honorable, that requires no sacri
fice of principles, that will keep th<
white people together and restore peac
and harmony.
Now under this ruling there shoul
be a free and fair primary. An opel
field without any caueuses oranythinj
of thatkind. If the primary is the thinj
we should let it be a free and open field
But from the way the campaign i
arranged, it looks as if the committe
was shaping things to fit tbe Rforn
caucus or convention that is to~be heli
in Columbia in August rather than act
ing for all the white people and Demc
erats of the State. It does looks lik
rather that this committee was tb
committee of the Reform factio1
rather than the committee of the ei
tire party. Why should the ctu
paign be so rushed as to get throug]
long before the State Convention an
just prior to the Reform caucus tha
is to be held to say who to ran for th
offices? .
But then as only Reformers are to b
in the race, and if they are willing t
submit to such a plan, it suits us ver;
well. The Herald and News has n

WE BEG PARDON.
Brother Kirkland is so puffed up ii
his own conceit and with his very grea
greatness that he terms it "a -piece a
impertinence" for a little country ed
itor even to have the temerity to sug
gest a man worthy to be his successol
A couple of weeks ago The Herald ani
News very modestly suggested that a
Dr.Kirkland had been called tosa highe
and larger field -we .thought that Rev
3. Walter Daniel would make a worth;
successor as. editor of the Souther,
Christian Advocate. That was on
opinien then, and is our opinion now~
We did not care a.snap what the put
lishing committee thought about i1
Wsreally did not know who they were
and do not suppose they saw our sug
gestion, and our. good Brother Kirk
land is very careful not to mention th
name of the gentleman we suggested
We doubt if he knows that we sag
gested his name. Certainly we did noJ
tell him.
Does Brother Kirkland doubt o
question the worthiness of the man w
suggested, and if so, why? Hear wha
he'says:~ "This may be all very true
but why should we go to a member o
the Lutheran Church to learn wha
ought to be editor of a Methodist.pa
per?" "It may be true, eh? Why thei
this doubt over it? Is it not true tha
.Brother Kirkland has some man tha
he wants to take his place? If not
why should he become so indignant a
a simple suggestion- and expression c
opinion? If he has such great confi
dence in the publishing committee
and is not trying to influence them il
favor of his man, why should he worn
himself into such a rage over a simpl<
suggestion? Surely he did not fear th
influence of the suggestion on the corn
mittee? We opine that if we hai
struck his man there would not havy
been so much fireworks and rage ii
the columns of the Southern Christiai
Advocate a.t a simple little suggestion
But then "Bro. Aull is a Lutheran
and any suggestion from him is imper
tinent." Bro. Aull is a member of thi
Lutheran Church, but The Herald ane
News is no more a Lutheran paper thai
it is a Methodist paper. And we havy
noticed that heretofore and on an'
other subject when The Herald an<
News said a kind word about a Meth
odist brother, as it has often been ou
pleasure to do, it was not-only not con
sideled "impertinent," but was copie<
in the Advocate. Petty and Wood ari
not Lutherans, and suggestions fron
them for Dr. Kirkland's place wer<
considered equally "impertinent." Bro
Aull being a Lutheran is not the mill
in theicocoanut.
The Herald and News gives Bro
Kirkland notice that it matters verd
little to us who the publishing comn
pany may select, but we also desire
him to understand that he cannot keej
us from having an opinion and giving
expression to it, even if it be in the
matter of his successor. What his
* opinion of it may be does not concerr
us in the least. We rather think, how
ever, from all that Bro. Kirkland has
said in the Advocate recently on thi;
subject that in his opinion it will b4
impossible for the publishing commit
tee to .find a man in the Melbodist Con.
ference or out of it who can fill hi:
place.
Now we most humbly beg his par
don, since we decided to make a sag
gestion, that we did not suggest thi
man Bro. Kirkland is trying to get the
publishing committee to name as hi:
successor, but you know it is not al
ways true that all greai minds run ir
the same channel, and having made a
suggestion we still stand by it.

THE PROHIBITION CONVENTION.
The Prohibitionists held their con
vention in Columbia last week, adopted
a plrtform, passed some resolutions and
adjourned. That was about all they
could do, we presume. There was a
strong sentiment in the convention for
the nomination of a State ticket, but it
- was evident that some of the Prohibi
tionists were unwilling to do anything
or take any steps that would come in
3 conflict with or hurt or injure their
political faction. Their action does
3 not amount to much, -bu then possibly
I it did no harm. There was a large per
cent. of one time prohibitionists in the
r convention who are now advocates of
the dispensary system. The Prohibi
a tionists would have had a very small
t following even if they had put up a
State ticket unless their strength had
come from those who have heretofore
- opposed prohibition.
The whiskey question in this State
a presents at this time a rather anoma
lous condition. A large majority of
i those who have heretofore claimed to
I be prohibitionists from principle, and
E have all along claimed that the sale of
E whiskey was an unmitigated evil, and
that statutory prohibition of the sale
s wa the remedy, have all at once awoke
to the conclusion that practical pro
1 hibition was impossible and that the
solution of the wholematter was in the
- dispensary system, and that so long as
the State sold whiskey, whether for
a medicinal purposes or as a beverage, it
D was all right and the proper thing to
I do. While on the other hand, those
- who have.opposed prohibition are.now
- ready to votea prohibition ticket, -and
I would prefer statutory prohibition to
i the dispensary.
t Though the dispensary law has been
e declared unconstitutional, there seems
to be a feeling that the dispensary in
e some way will be onened again soon.
& What foundation there is for such a
i feeling we do not know, but we do
a know that it exists. We publish else
I where full proceedings of the prohibi
3 tion convention. They propose to pro
I pound questions to the candidates,.but
I what will that amount to? We will
- see what will be done towards putting
r a stop to blind tigers. One section of
I the platform seems to have the gap
s down for the nomination of a State
- ticket even yet, but it is not at all
probable that a ticket will be put in
2 the field. There is entirely too much
I Tillmanism and dispensary among the
prohibitioniss to believe that they
would care to put up anything in oppo
- sition.
The editor of The Herald and News
was present at the prohibition conven
tion and heard the discussions and our
I conclusion is that prohibition will be a
t very small factor in the coming prima
f ries. We had thought at'one time that
- the prohibitionists were in earnest and
meant business, but we have now con
-cluded that prohibition is only second
1ary.

I adeount of Governor Tillman's speech
1on "temperance" at Staten Island. The
r Governor -says The Times made the
-most honest and accurate report of
-what he said. Be that as it may, the
New York Recorder made the most
ridiculous and nonsensical report of the
- speech. It represents the Governor as
-using the dialect of the cornfield darkey,
a such as "Dar! Dar! I tole you I'se got
-'im," "Dis yah passport," "Dat s agreat
- has," and "Dis yo's farmer Tillman,
t Governor of South Carolina." Such mis
'representation is an insult not only to
r Governor Tillman but to the Southern
a people. Everybody who-bas ever heard
the Governor knows that he uses just
as good English in his speeches as the
f New York Recorder reporter, 'whose
attempt at fun is ridiculous in the ex
treme.
tNOT REEEALED.
t The ten per cent. tax on State banks
Swas not repealed by the vote in the
a House last Wednesday. Some Demo
f erats in Congress seem to be bigger
- than the party.
.The Party says: "Repeal."
IThe M. C. says: "No Repeal."
SAnd what are we to do about it? Keep
on losing our golden opportunities and
run against the snag of defeat, in the
- next election? It looks that way.
I Section 8 of the Democratic platform
on which President Cleveland and a
large majority of the House of Repre
sentatives were nominated anad elected
-reads as follows:
, "We recommend that the prohibi
- tive 10Oper cent. tax on State bank issue
be repealed."
SThat plank of the platform is plain
and simple. But look further. The
i Democrats in Congress held a caucus
rin April last, at which they took the
ifollowing action, without a dissenting
. vote:,
e Resolved, That it is the sense of this
caucus that the prohibitory tax of 10
per cent. on bank issues be repealed.
IResolved, That when the bill known
as the Brawley and Spencer bill, which
the Committee on Banking and Cur
rency has ordered reported to the
House, is called up for action, an
-amendment be offered repealing the
prohibitory tax on State banks; that
ample time be afforded for discussion,
and if necessary to secure thisthe Com
mittee on Rules be -requested to take
proper action.
-This is all very plain also.
What is the resuelt? Seventy-five
Democrats deliberately s.tep off the
platform and defeat the measure. We
believe in sticking to principles.
To the credit of the South Carolina
delegation be it said, they voted solidly
for repeal.
Pennoyer, of Oregon, will now retire
from business as a crank. The Repub
licans have carried Oregon in the June
-election.

The Excellent Equipment and Work of
South Carolina College.
Mr. Editor. It was my good fortune to visit
last week the South Carolina College and to have
the opportunity to inform myself by personal in
spection of its most excellent equipment, and of
the great advantages it offers to young men and
women desiring an education. I had thought
that the institution had the appliances and appa
ratus necessary for thorough work, but my ex
pectations were more than realized. In all the
class rooms are found maps, charts, and such
other appliances as are needful and helpful in
illustrating and impressing a lesson.
Physical training goes hand in hand with men
tal and moral training. and to attain this end
there is a completely equipped gymnasium in
charge of a thoroughly competent instructor. We
witnessed the performance of the class in physical
culture and were much pleased with the evidences
of thorough training.
The chemical department is thoroughly organ
ized under a most efficient head, and is said by
those competent tojudge to be equal to Heidelberg
or any European university. From the making
of the simplest experiment to the assaying of ores
and soils, everything is at hand.
In the department of physics everything neces
sary to illustrate natural phenomena is at hand.
In the class room of Prof. Davis we saw some
thing which especially pleased us, and which set
us to thinking. It is a home-made stereopticon.
By means of a mirror, two lenses and a slide prop
erly arranged. Be is able to project a picture upon
a sheet some forty feet distant, and in this way
most beautifully and impressively illustrate his
torical events; bringing, as it were, the historic
personages and places immediately before the
eyes ofthe pupils. Cannot such an apparatus be in
every common school house in the country? It is
cheap and most efficient. I hope every teacher
from Newberry County who attends the summer
school at the South Carolina College, and I hope
all will attend after attending their own institute,
will request Prof. Davis to exhibit this apparatus.
The department of tmineralogy, geology and
biology is fully equipped with all that is needful
for thorough training along this line.
We had been under the impression that the
South Carolina College is- an expensive instith
tion. Such is not the case. Good board can be
obtained at the Steward's Hall for $8 per month.
All necessdry expenses need not exceed $i io per
annum.
The water, obtained from a well far removed
from contaminating sources, is clear, cold and
pure. This is an important matter, and the excel
lent health enjoyed by the students is in a great
measure due to it.
The faculty is composed of gentlemen who are
at the top in their respective branches. They are
-able, enthusiastic, sympathetic. What more can
be desired?
With all of these advantages of personnel,
equipment, location and cheapness, why is it that
our'youths do not go to the South Carolina Col
lege? Simply because they are ignorant of the ex
oellent opportunities within their reach.
This grand old institution is historic and de
serves patronage. The proud rank which South
Carolina has taken among her sister States was
made possible by the South Carolina College and
has been achieved by her alumni. She has a proud
record. It is said that out of the college bred men
of the United States who have attained to positions
of honor, trust and eminence, twenty per cent.
has been furnished by the South Carolina College.
Let not this proud xecord be lowered. Let not
this historic instizution die for lack of material
upon which to exercise its beneficent influence.
Respectfully,
THos. W. KErrr.
The Solution of the Liquor Question.
As the whole country appears to be at sea
in regard to the liquor traffc, and so much is
being said about jicense, dispensaries, pro
hibition and free liquor, I beg to submit a
plan by which, I think, will satisfy a very
large rsjority. of the people. allowing ail
who wish to drink to do s, and those who
do not need not be taxed to purchase whis
key to supply the dispensary, doing away
with the saloons, dispensaries, and the ac
cursed system of esp-oUage on persons and
private homes. If this can be done, which I
am satisfied it will under my blan, all would
be satisfied and happy, and consequently a
blessina bestowed upon mankind.
Let a license tax of one two or five dollars
be placed upon all who wish. to drink, for the
privilege of drinking daring the year, the
amount so realized to go to the supplement
of the school fund. The government could
furnish cheap badges to be worn upon the
lapel of the coat, or vest, and let a heavy
penalty be put upon every one who drinks.
or offers drinks to others without a display
of the regulation badge.
At the annual assessment of property let
the question be asked, "Do you drink?" be
answered "Yes" or "No," as the case may be,
and the Auditor, if the answer is "Yes." pro
ceed to hang on the badge. It could be got
ten up in artistic style, such as the "palmetto
tree" with the 'chemically pure" Inscription
upon it, and this would look "nobby" upon
the coats and vests of the young swells, and
even the older men. Then look at the reve
nue and the inexpensive system of Its collec
tIon. A member of the recent temperance
mass meeting made the assertion that there
were no more than two hundred whIte pro
hibitionists in the county, and probably an
equal number, or less, of blacks, and, say
there are about four thousand or more of
voters and drinkers in the county, see what
an Income this would ensure to the sehool
fund or tax lists. Then, as there would be no
expense attached to the sale of liquors, it
would be cheap, drinks at five cents or one
dollar per gallon. all olasses, the - poorest as
well as the richer, could afford to drink.
Only a few days' drinking, or perhaps one
good drink alone would py for the Ileense
in the saving In price. Ten, as all would be
allowed to sell, merchants could keep the
article as a kind of "side line" for their cus
tomers, and te enticing paraphernalia of the
saloons would be dote sway with. Then the
fun the prohlbitionista cQuld have In watch
int those without a badge, and as It would,
by law, be made a felony or assault te ask a
man to drink without his regalia in sight, it
would act as an Incentive to all who enjoy
the exhilirating influence of a drink and an
other p aying for it to have his badge displayed
In bold relief. Tue field would be smaller,
and consequently the evaders of the law
cou:d be more easily detected, and as every
taxpayer would be interested In seeing his
neighbor aying his proportionate share of
taxes, all he honest drinkers would become
detectives and Informers.
Then again, the mDost of men would be
ashamed to not own' a badge for fear he
would.be accused of pernuriousness or tax
d$Iud sa a word here asi to liquor drink
Ing in ge.nera. Few men drink to get drunk.
This is only an after part of the first drink
er two. And I often wonder why some take
so much intel-eat in the well-being of his
fellow man in this one respect alone.' The
great advocates of temperance often forget
the salvation of the soul, or the personal ad
vancement of his friends in his zeal and anx
iety about personal habits. He i~ never
over zealous to attach his name to b, ank
note, or give him a worldly or heavenly lift
in the great struggle for life. He may have
friends around him, widows and orhans
crying for the base necessity of life wthout~
giving them a thought, while he Is spending
all his time, bending all his exertions, weep
ing, wailing and worrying over the curse of
dram drinking when want and destItution
are staring the poor and helpless in the face,
and where words ofecheer anda helpingband
could do so much. good to alleviate their
wants. And in must cases these enthusiastic
prohibitionists are men who never did drink,
don't love it, and could not, for some una-.
voidab:e circ~umstance-s, drink if they would,
and place all the Ill" that flesh is heir to: at'
the door of liquor drinking- Th.ere are many
other sins equally as ruinous and destructive,
among the few I might mention: laziness,
want of thrift, hypocrisy In church matters,
lying, cheating aud stealing. &c , which we
hear but little from the.prohbitionists. If
they would conce-ntrate their energies, time
an d puise to help the worldly sufferers in
connection wtth their temperance crusade,
would not their acts look lees seliseh? What
credit does the temperate man deserve who*
Is lemnperate from necessity and not choice ?
Some of the most ardent tetotalers in this*
country have been drankards all their life,
whose finance now Is too much exhausted, or
the doctors have given them a frIght and
forced them to leave off However, a great
many are truly temperance advocates from
pure love of their fellow man. But why give
all their energies to suppress this vice in ex
cosion to all others ?
Now in conclusion, Mr. Editor, if any one
can formulate a better, a more economical,
satisty2ng pla.n let him rise and explaln.
This, 1 think, beats the ''sub-treasury. or
something better," or the matrimonial ad

TINDAL'S CANDIDACY
For the Governorship of South Carolin
Has Upset Calculationi.
[Special'to Atlanta, Constitution.1
COLUMBIA, S. C., June 10.-Tb
entrance of Secretary of State Tinds
into the gubernatorial contest ha
turned topsyturvy the calculations an
predictions of all oug political seers. I
will be remembered that early in th
spring Mr. Tindal was generally spoke
of as a candidate and that be attende
several meetings and delivered speeeh
of a mild and inoffensive characte
compared to the somewhat partisan
ones of young Mr. Gary Evans.
Later on Mr. Tindal published a lei
ter in which he gave outtheimpressio
that he would not be a candidate, an
for two months urged peace and unit
and a mutual forgiveness of sins be
tween the political factions. His uttet
ances were regarded as remarkabl;
liberal, and assuaging to the existiu!
strife' and bitterness between Soutl
Carolinians, considering that the;
emanated from a man who bad beel
originally and persistently identifie
with the Tillman agitation. Suddenl;
two weeks ago Mr. Tindal's name af
peared in the way of a suggestion in
numberof Reform county weeklies, ani
the Manning Times, a leading Reforn
paper of the Eastern part of the State
published in Clarendon, Mr. Tindal
etunty, printed a strong editorial urgin
Mr. Tindal to take the field,
It almost seemed that there had beei
a precoscerted arrangement amon
Tillmanite papers of a less violent tei
dency to boost him and the belief i
that be will command the support c
peace-loving Tillmanites throughou
the State as well as attract encourage
ment from many Conservatives.
Mr. Tindal is a scholarly man with
European education, save in his man
ners, and a good speaker. It is claime
by many persons, however, that he i
imbued with advanced socialistic nc
tions and the probability is that he wil
prove an intense advocite of the dip
pensary scheme and other of the Till
man ideas regarded by the opposinj
faction as most radical.
Notwithstanding Mr. Tindal's entry
present indications are that John Gar:
Evans still hasagood lead and Ellerhe
chances will be more impaired by Tin
dal's candidacy than his. Evans ha
had nothing to say since the Suprem
Court nullified the dispensary. Th
opinion still prevails to some exten
that the dispensaries will be re-opene4
the moment the composition of th
Supreme Cour6 is changed by Justice
elect Gary taking his seat in July, t
which the fact that coduty dispenser
are merely retired on half pay, as i
were, lends color, and if this surmis
should prove true it will have the effec
of a tremendous boost for Evans, whc
after Tillman, is the recognized dispen
sary exponent.

NO STATE BANK TAX REPEAL
a Defeat of the Measure in the House
Democrats Not on the Party Platform.
WASHINGTON, June 6-Byavoteof
e 172 to 102 the House of Rerpresenta
tives to-day voted not to repeal the
law imposing a tax of 3t per cent.
r upon the issues of State banks and
t other associations. Then it decided,
e without the formality of a vote or even
a division, to kill the Brawley bill, to
a which the other proposition was an
ameedment. This bill proposed to
suspend the operations of the law as to
s the certificates and other evidences of
money issued by Clearing Houses and
other associatious during the currency
panic of 1893. Th is latter action was
d somewhat unexpected, because in the
cause of the ten day's debate just closed
th-re bad been no objection expressed
to that proposition. The vote on the
7 repeal of the 10 'per cent. tax law, it is
said, did not represent the full extent
3 of the opposition to that measure.
All of the voters in favor of the Cox
amendment to repeal the 10 per cent.
tax outright were cast by 102 Demo
crats.
Of the nay voters 78 were cast by
a Republican-, 8 by Populists, and 75 by
Democrats:
