He says many promi t mon have urged him to make race an:1 ho has consented to do glhe gubernatorial campaign is a fairly launched and some in sting debates may be looked for usumler. Governor McSwooney , of course, be a candidate. le uds on the dlisf ensary platform . The Governor has grea strength tside of political considerations on ount of his fine business qualifi ion, and this goes a long ways wadays. Political gossips have it that Col. Flio Jones will ultimately announce candidacy. 3esides personal pularity,' Colonel Jones's main ength, like Governor McSweo y's, lies in kis knowledge of con cting properly large business af Irs. Congressman Latimor was talked considerably as a candidate some onths ago, but his name has boon oppod from consideration, as it is needod that he prefers to stand for -election. Senator Mayfield, of Bamberg, ay be a candidate, and C;i. Knox ivington's name has been mon oned in connectian with the Gov norship. There may bo othirs tietly, watching to see what turns p. An important factor in the contest ill be the prohibitionists. The adors of that persuasion are to hold Sconference tonight. This is pri arily for the purpose of organizing or action on dispensary legislation, nee this is the time for gubornato jal booms to be started, the con erenco will no doubt consider the ext campaign. It is genorally be eyed that there will be a straight rohibition candidate in the field, ad the dry vote is not to bo0 ig ored in concluding chances of can idates. oangelo The Kind You llave Always Boug,ht OILD ToLItERT UOUSE JItJRNED). otal L.oss ItIh sxo Inisurance and the Family Haroly Escapes. d.(Greenville Daily News.) 3Greenwood, S. 0., Jan. 10.-The $ld Tolbert home place, owned by eir.

Spartanburg, Jan. 13.---Jamos H Carlisle, LL. 1)., who has been Pres idont of Wofl'ord college since 1875, will positivo rosign this position and retiro from the head of this historic institute after June, 1900. Thii: ses sion will be his last. Dr. Carlisle has carefully considered the matter and fools that, this stop is the best, as his duties are more confining to his advanced age. It is not his intention, however, to sever his connection with the collo"o on tirely, and ho will doubtless ac copt somo chair after this session. Dr. Carlislo has signified the board of trustees of his into tion, and the imovo is duo to no friction or disa geomont. Dr. Carlislo has been connected with Wofford college since 185 1. His first work was the filling of the chair of inathonatics. What his individ uality and character and ability have accomplished in the education of hundreds of men of the country is too well known to deseribe. The fact that ho has definitely decided to relinquish the control of the institu tion of learning which for almost half a century has been quickened and enlivened and brought out to its fullest extent for good work and re sults by his untiring labors will be received as very sad news by the peo ple of the entire State and many outside. The only consolation to be derived from the matter is that it is not his intention to separate from the college entirely. The question as to successories is the -aguest speculation.
