An Outtlise of fils Pl'atform-Ie Will Mtatstd for I'eae-, Elicatlos, Intellig.nt Imnismlgratlon, Iutstrital 'rogrebs. [Special to The State.] Watlterboro, June 14.-Sooing the editorial in this wook's issue of the Press and Standard calling upon Capt. 1). C. Heyward, of this town, to bacone a candidate for governor at the next primary, your correspondent callod upon him to day and asked him whether ho con templated making the race. Capt. Heyward replied that he felt exceed ingly gratified that so many of his friends in his own county and through out the State had oxprossed to him their desire that lie should enter the contest for gubernatorial honors, and that he had decided to do so. Capt. Heyward was then asked if he would outline to some extent his views upon the political issues which would most probably enter into the next campaign for State offices. He replied that at this time he knew of no question upon which public attention would center chiefly during the next campaign; that in his opinion the people of the State were closer together than they had been for yoars. Old wounds had healed and the day had come when the people of South Carolina were doihg their own thinking, and were realizing the fact more fully than they had over done before that those questions which tended to inflame the passions of the people, and there by retard all industrial development, should be relegated to the rear, and in their stead should be brought to the front such subjects, the discus sion of which in calm dignified, and intelligent manner, would "result, in the material welfare and prosperity of all the people of the State. When asked to be a little more specific as to the nature of those questions, Capt. Heyward replied that the educational system of the State was far from complete. That there was no subject of gr%ater mo ment to the people of this State than the education of her yo-uth, and that we ought to exert all our energy to the building up and perfecting of such an educational system as would furnish our boys and girls with an opportunity to fit themselves for the duties and responsibilities of life. Continuing, he said that the sub ject of immigration was one which should be given attention by those who have the best interests of the State at heart. That immigration should be officially and systemati cally encouraged. In this connee tion he instanced south-western Lou isiana and southern Texas now the most prosperous agricultural portions of the South, built up to very great extent by an influx of western farm ers, induced to leave their mortgaged farms in search of cheap and pro ductive lands and a more congenial climate. What has been done in Louisiana and Texas, lie claimed could be done in South Carolina if the effort was made. Good roads, which wore doing so much for North Carolina, and the drainage of our swamps and abandoned land, consti tuting as they do more than one-fifth of the acreage of the State, should be vigorously looked after. Capital should be encouraged to come into the State and should be made to feel that it was welcome and would be safeg'uarded by every protection which the law threw around it. * "How about the dispensary!" lie was asked. "That I consider," he replied, "a settled question and one which should not' figure in the comin'g campaign to * the exclusion of other important sub jects. It has been passed upon again and again by the people of-the State, and is a question which every voter should thoroughly understand. Should it be my fortune to be elected governor of South Carolina 1 would seek to enforce the dispensary law as -I would every other law which I found upon the statute books. The office of governor is an executive one. t mIe 1ULy o tino governor to see that the laws are enforced, ald not to direct what laws the peoplo shall make through the legislative depart mnt of the government. Of course, I am mindful of the fact that the constitution imposes upon the gover nor the duty of suggesting to the law-making department of the gov ertnent, from time to timo, for its consideration such measures its he may (eem necessary or expedient, and ;his duty I would bo prepared to carry out to the best of my capac ity. If elected to the high office to which I aspire, I will sook to be the governor of the whole people of South Carolina, and my only aim will be to sorvo them to the best of my ability and understanding." COLLETON COUNTY NOMINATES A SON OF WHOM 5BR.E 1s PROUD. There- is a mfrong disposition on the part of many of our people to present to the Democratic voters of the State at the next primary the name of one of our honored citizens, Capt, D. C. Heyward, as a candidate for governor. It is not known posi tively whether or not Capt. Heyward would consent to make the race, but if ho does, he will enter the contest as well equipped and under as favor able conditions as any man who would aspire to that exalted office. He will find the people of his county enthusiastic and aggressive in his support, besides having in almost every county of the State :rionds who will vote for him, talk for him and work for him. Capt. Heyward is a man of most pleasing and attractive manners, with a well trained and practical mind, and of exalted character. He is a native South Carolinian and is thoroughly identified with the peo ple of the State in all their relations of life, social, financial and political. He is in no sense a politician, never having been a candidate for any office. Yet he has always taken an active interest in all public questions affecting iLe welfare of the people and has devoted much time to the study of governmental and political questions. As a public ';l,eaker, he is earnest, forceful and aggressive and would make a'deep and lasting impression upon our people should he enter the contest and canvass the State. Such, briefly is the man whom we suggest as the next governor of South Carolina. We have said nothing of him which the most critical examina tion will not justify. As governor, he woild give the people of the State a broad and progressive admin istration, promoting the interests and welfare of the people in every depart ment of life, and we trust that he will consent to make the race, and we call upon him to do so. C .A. X' T O A.... Bears the , h idYou Have Always Bougjit Siguaturo ; of Wanted It to stop Hecr Talk. A woman fainted in town yester day. She came in with her husband to see the circus-any circus is "the" circus, you know. Under the acres and acres of canvas-every circus spreads "acres of canvas," you know --she-became suddenly ill, whether at sight of the roaring lion or sound of moaning whang-doodle, was not discovered, but, becoming ill, the woman promptly fainted. A cab was called hurriedly, and the husband placed his wife in the cab, they were driven hurriedly to the office of a physician. The phy sician felt of the wife's pulse, tested Eev heart action, and then, placing a febrile thermometer in her month, he bade her close her month and keep it shut, she having recovered her senses. The wife did as she was bidden, and the doctor looked steadily at hit watch, his finger on her pulse, and counted; the seconds run into min utes, two minutes-three! And then the husband .asked eagerly and anx iously: "Say, doe, what'Il yer take'fer that thing?" pointing to the thermometer. "Why ?" domanded the physician. "'Cause hits the first time I ever knowed 'or to hol" 'or tongue that long." - H. FOWLER TESTING RIGHT TO IMPRISON IILIN TIl f'KISONIIt 8 WIL,INO TO lilt 1 C C Elt, 17P.

Fowler for conspiracy, false inprison mont and assaiult and battery of a high and aggravated nature, plead guilty of assault and battery and were sentenced to pity a fino of .$5() each or 30 days on the public works or in the State ponitontiary. ..J. S. Fowler went to trial this afternoon and a motion was mado by his attorneys to quash the indictment. After argument, Judge Kiugh quash ed the indictment as to conspiracy and into trial on -the other two counts. Testimony was taken and the case argued before the jury and court ad journed until tomorrow. The reasons assigned for accept ing the plea of assault and battery in full of the indictment is stated by the solicitor to be that he did not think the State could prove its case as in the other counts. Hammond was indicted in four cases but was fined in only one, which settles the matter in full as to him. Harriet and Will Owings were found guilty of murder with a recom mendation to mercy, and were sen tenced to the penitentiary for life. James Cook, who is an employe of Fowler, received a life sentence. SENATOIt MORGAN ON McLAUItIN. says Both TIllman and McLaurin arc Good Democrats But Invite Pohltical Suicide. Washington, D. C., May 31-Sen atorial opinions on a personal contro versy between the two men who are members of the Upper House , and who have warm friends on both sides of the chamber, is of course, difficult to get. There are few Senators in Washington now, and these few read of the resignation of the South Caro linians with a surprise a fe,v days ago. They expressed the opinion today that they felt that both Sona tors had made a great mistake in fal ling into a controversy which would involve both so deeply. Both Till man' and McLaurin are blamed by Senators who are their friends, while nearly all the members of the Upper House are too experienced in politics not to understand what a man will do in the heat of such a struggle as now is in progress in South Carolina. Still in their temperate moments, and, as they were today, at their own fire sides, they look upon the latest phase of the Senatorial tight in that State as bcing almost childish in its ex tremes. Senator Morgan, of Alabama, said: "Both men are good Democrats. I have no reason to doubt either man, and I consider Senator McLanrin one of the ablest men in the Senate. He is young, he is modest, but he is very alAle. I cannot think of one in stance where McLiaurin has had his Democracy challenged. One may vote for or against subsidies-But all Democrats in the Senate vote for a subsidy at one time or another and still be a true Deinocrat, I consid er the man progressive who faces each and every public question as it comes -up and tries to solve it for himself. Yet, we have stereotyped Democrats. This is an opportunity to honor the man who, disagreeing with both the platform and the nominee of his party, does not step over into the ranks of the other party, but prefers to let the issue pass--takes to seclu sion and waits, but does not desert his party. I think there are many such Democrats in this country today, and we shall not misjudge them. Therefore no one can say that this man is not a good Democrat or that man is not because he may vote for or against some bill in the UniteC States Senato or in the Lower House which may appear to involve directly the Domocratic or Republican prin ciples.
