Columbia, September 5.-Thoro is
much complaint against the man
agf-mnent of the p1rinary in various
parts of tho Stato. This is better
ovidonced by the fact that contests
and protests arc being made in very
many of tho counties, and others arc
1 being talked of. It has always been
an unpopular thing for a candidatO,
apparently dofoated, to prote.L
Things are getting quite different
now, ind fraud meeis to have been
creeping into the jrimarios, it may
be from the force of habit in the
olden times. Tho fact of thi inat

is as mneh complai ning horeafter as
there is now, something will have to
be done to correct the system, or the
old conventition systeim will h1-vo to

As yet the ofliciul contests have
not beein made, and whei.over pos

The News anid Courier has all
along contended that Mr. Dorham
has been Olected Comptrollor Gum
oral. Yesterday this correspondent
was in Charleston, and the stutetumit
%Nas made that it looked like Epton's
election. This was incorrect, as the
News and Courior's tables havo been
correct all along, and the table on
the Comuptrollor's race, published
. iiturday, has betn verified this
morning with that of the State comn
mittee and is entirely correct, and,
as has boon insisted upon all along,
shows Mr. Dorham-s election by 'a
close but safe vote. The mistaken
impression was gotten by a. hurried
glance ovr the oflicialtabilos on file
with the State conunittoo. As this

-To the Editor of The Orl-envillt,
News:I
In ly inlterview whic e vitimo out
in the daily papers last Sturdity
morning, I m111ado eli charge that
whiiskey wi shipped to certain
pointli inl the Stato dtiring the cam.
paign by houses from which t.ho dis
pensary buys liquor.
In yosterday's papliis Governor
Ellerbo calls onl mne to speify.
It must bo borno itt mind that I
mado no chargo against unty particu.
lar candidato, or candidates. I wiis
discussing the dispeniary system,
and undortaking to show how it had
boon and alwakys would bo ulsod ats it
political machine. As proof of this
I mado the abovo charge.
I first. mado tho chargo in ity
appech at Aikon, on August 22nd, inl
presence of oNernor E,11orbo inid
the other candidates. At, that timo
the charge was not denied, nor the
proof demandod. But now tho gov
ornor wants mo to speify, which I
will proceed to do.
Ist. A box of whiisky was shliipped
to Laurons, S. C., by express oi Au
gust 4th, 1898. On the day of the
camlipilign limeting it wils used and
handed out to such parties ats wore
thirsty and belonged to the fnithfil.
It camo from a house in Philadel.
phia, from which the dispensiry buys
iq u-ir. The box weighed -15 pounds.
Arothem , woigliph 60 pounds,
was also received from th- same
source the same day, but was shipp
ed to a different party.
It is not necessiry that, I should
give the nitimes of the partius to
whom it X%s shipped, for I have nto
desire to injuro thieso partios in ite
leatst.
2d. At Spartanburg on the day of
the campaign meeting at that place
I discovered that a <quantity of tle
stuff was on hand and was being
frooly used. I was 'reliably informed
that it had boon shipped there a few
days before to the representitives of
cortain whiskey housos who eit.hor
had sold, or tioped to sell, their
wares to the dispensary. By whom
it. wias shipped I know not. That, it
wias shipped there and used as above
stited is 11b.Olutely certaii.
3d. A goodly supply was on hand
the day of thle cam11palign i ruct ing at
Anderson arid used( freely. Whbere
it. camne from I am niot. prepared to
say', but, it, could hirdly have comio
from thle local dispensary, for it wVas
geTnerllly undel(rstood I lit that. p1lace
was clos.*d.
I halve speified timo lad place,
and a1 groat many of the canitesitf
know t hat what I h ave st ated is true.
How the wi hiskey cotnhd h'av been
thius shiipped, in open violat ion of

li the interview wit.h Mr. 0. C.
Foathorstone, the prohibition candi
ilato who will be in the second ace
for Governor agaimist Gover- or El.
&orbo, publish(dI soveral diays ago, the
:bargO wis mado thait, liquor had
jeon shipped into tho State on cer
:ain days during the progress of the
-ampaign, "aud was used and handed
:mt to such parties ats wero thirsty,
v.ho bolollgod to the faithful," the
i no being shipped from houses,
rrom which the dispensary buys
liquor.
The Governor gave out. a short in
Lorview in which Io mkod Mr.
Foathorstone to ",pecify" a to
Lharges ho made.
Candidate Felit hrstono sent a pir -
pared statoment to the pres, in
wvhich ho gave "timo and place,"
but Io did not givo namo-. That
Aatoment appeared in The State
yesterday.
Whnii Governor Ellerbo was seen
yesterday, ho dictated the following,
and asked that it bo published:
"In reference to Mr. Featliertone' s
article, I have no desire to enter into
a newspaper controversy. I affirm
that no whiskoy wam usod by me in
my campaign, ant1 if any whiskey
wias iihipped by liquor houses who
soll to the dispensary, to any parties
it was done without my knowledge
or consent. I think it ill-becomtes
my opponent to attempt to connect
my name (by insinuation) with the
use of whiskey when he knows that
the whikt referred to was not sent
to me.
"1 ask Mr. Foatherstono, in justice
to me, to give the names of the par
ties to whom the whiskey was ship
pod and anything olso ho may know
ahout tle mattor. The conscious
ness of my rectitude makes ino fear
nothing my opponent may bring
against Me."
Governor Ellerbo said in reply to
the stat,inont ,made by Mr. Feather
Htmno that be was preSent, and heard
the charges made on the stuimp, and
did not denly thiei, that many times
during the campaign motings he
would mzake his speech arid retire,
and1( was invariably ablsenit wvhen his
oppontents spwe. He addedi that lie
di 1 not recall the fact of ever hear.
inig I he clherges mnade by Mr. I"onth
eratono (luring the canvass.
The Governor emphasir.ed the faict
that lie was always boon unalterably
opposod( to the use of whiskey in a
camp~aigni, and niever sanctioned such
method(1.

Oratiy wourried Ove~r l'ubation, of I..
Washington, September, 1.-It
cannot be sid that Secretary Alger
is indliff.,rent to mantiy sensational
stories that are printed as8 to the con.
dlations8 that prevail in the great miil
itary camp~js, for his intertat lies in
lie welfare of individual troops. Ut
lie said today t hat, with a full
knowledge of the lack of foundation
for most of t hose, hoi dlepre'cat.ed such
publicattins, not because of fear that
the American people would1 be mis.
taken in th ir understanding of the
actual facts, but rather from an aip.
prohionsioni of the evil effects such
p)ulicat ions would produce abroad.
There the people, who, with their
fnll military trainmig, knew just
what hardships must be encountered
by troops in a cam paign, and es
pecially in military camps and ma
noeuvres would rogard1 with amused
surprise the innumerable complaints
that are pouring forth upion the gov
mrnent here upon p)retexts that
would be disregarded entirely in
ICurope, anid they coul 1 scarely
fail to gain t.he imnpressioni that the
American p)roplo are lacking in sol.
