(Charleston Post.) Walterboro, S. 0.-Following his nomination in the Democratic pri. finary in September last, Capt. D. 0. Heyward, who was chosen at that time as the nominee of the party gave expression to the opinion that inasmuch as he had not been for mally -elected Governor, being only the.candidate of the party, he felt that it was premature for him, to give any' definite expression as to his pur. poses or plans and that he felt that it. was more within the bounds of - propriety for bun to await the elec tion of November 4 before giving his attention to those matters which come within the sphere of the Gov ornor. This course on the part of the Democratic nominee was entirely proper and his determination to ab stain from any public announcement of an official character or to take up the consideration of those matters which pertain to his office was appre. ciated and endorsed by the public. Although it is generally recognized that the nomination in the Decem ber primary in South Carolina is tantamount to an election and has almost come to be so regarded by our people, nevertheless such is not -actually the case and the indelicacy of a candidate of one of the politi cal parties planning his course of action and giving public utterance as to his purposes before he was actu ally elected will readily be seen and - the wisdom of the course pursued by Capt. Heyward appreciated. The election of last week, at which itime the unanimous vote of the State -was cast for him, however, removei, these restrictions of propriety and dnasmuch as he is now legally the 'Governor-elect-requiring only the ,oath of office as necessary to make .lim in truth the Governor of the State-it is natural and proper for -him to be giving his thoughts and attention to the manifold duties -which confront him and to be plan .ning to put into execution those ideas and purposes which he trusts will ,materially advance the interest of tho 8tate in every branch-agricultu rally, mechanically, educationally, einorally and industrially. In the hope :of giving to the readers of the Evening Post some suggestions as to' what the Governor, elect purposes doing, your correspondent called upon him at his comfortable home in Walterboro and solicited fron him some information along the lines in dicated above. Gov. Heyward con fidi ngly informed your representa tive that the returns of the evening of November 4 were not as anxiously secured as were those of August 26th or September 9th and, strange alit -might seem, he was not in the least nervous as to the result. He felt gratefu., however, for the way his friends had turned out and cast their btillots for bira, even if it was merely a prefuanctory matter. "I realize already," said Gov. Hey *ward, ''that the offies 'to which J have been elected is no sinecure. To faithfully atid honestly discharge the duties which devolve upon me wvill be my constant aim, but it will ~call for the exercise of unceasing and *earnest efforts, and I.am relying on * my friends throughout the State, and on all patriotic citizens to sup p6rt me in my efforts, letting past differences be forgotten arnd each and every one cont ributing to the bet * oring and upbuilding of the State we all love so a~ arny. I can not hope to escape critici-m nor can I expect to have my iadminist.ration be devo,d of mist.akes, buet when it is re membered that the Governor is called upon to maeke appointments in local --ities with which he is almost alto get her nnfamiliar nad has to depend on the recommendlationit which are h anded to aiim it wvill he seen jnst how likely it is for a poor appoint. ment to be made, especially whien half a -community will sometimes sign the application of parties they personally know to be unlit for the offo to which they aspire. It will be my purpose as I have already publicly announced to rely upon the recommendation of the several coun ty delegations in making county appointments, violating this rule only for good and sufficient. reasons. Should I Bnd that the recommenda tion of any delegation is such that it is clear that they are not acting for the best interest' of the community but are using the trust reposed in them for selfish purposes or to ad vance their own interest at the sacri. floe of their communities welfare, I will not feel bound to accept their recommendations then or hereafter my sole object being to give to each community the officials and appoint ments; most desired by them and best calculated to accord them the most acceptable service, and I believe as a general rule, the will of the pe4ple -an best be attained through this 1me dium than by attempting direct 1alf pointments on 'knowledge W'hich may be given to me by the means of peti tions and otherwise." The bettering of the common school facilities is a matter which is giving the Governor-elect some con sideration and he is endeavoring. to devise means by which the opportu nities of placing a fair education within the reach of every hamlet may be facilitated and affected. Reared in the country and fami liar as he is with plantation life, Capt Heyward is thoroughly con versant with the need of improved educational facilities, and while an advocate of higher education, he re a,izes that there are able exponents in and out of the Senate and Legis lature who will look after the inter est of colleges and universities, so he will devote himself for the present to fostering and aiding the schools in the rural districts. TH DISPENSARY LAW. The enforcement of the dispenoary law has been the subject of much consideration by the Governor-elect, and he is hopeful that under his"ad ministration much of the friction which has exi - *he past may be obliterated ? is on the stat ute book dent of the peo ple of tho State advocates of it, and as law. abiding citizens those op posed to it should abide by the ;law and support it. He is not unmind ful of the hardships which cobfront him in the discharge of his duty in regard to this law iii certain locali ties, and he can only depend on~ the public spirit of the people to sustain him in his efforts not to have the law wantonly violated. He believes that the wishes of a community should be recognized, but he has not power to exempt any com. munity or section of the State from the operation of the law, and under his oath of office he will have to icarry out the law without favor to all parts and portions of the State. He does not expect to be able to absolutely prohibit~the illicit selling of liquors -in the larger cities it will be al. most impossible to do so-but he is determined that there shall be a re spect shown to the law and that gross and flagrant violations shall be unknown, and if the law is violated it will be done in so surreptitious a manner as to elude the vigilance of the city police and State constables, and can not, therefore, be offensive to the God-fearing and law-abiding people of our State and being a me nace to the growing 'youth of our cities, who, by seeing laws openly violated, simply because they are distapteful, will soon learn to hold our whole sy stem of government in contempt. He did not anticipato serious trouble along that line, as the law is not now as objectionable as it had been, and there is a stronger feeling prevalent to give the law a fair trial which in some places - it has never had, and besides, the public in gene ral are not unmindful of the- serious results of wilfelly trampling a law in the dust, jnst because it was ob. jectionable. The factional feeling having subsided, the patriotism of the people is asserting itself, and the blind tigers will be made to go way back and sit down. It is -evident that the Governor-elect is determ. ined to select as his constables good and true men who can be relied on to,see that the law is respected, but to do so in such a manner as not to arouse any unnecessary friction or to occasion a better feeling. He believes that much can be ef fected through the medium of local authorities and is going to exert him. self to that end. He believes that the justice of the position which he takes will be appreciated by those to whom the law may be personally of. fensive, and that they will be among his warmest advocates in maintain -ing the law and keeping true to his oath of office and campaign pledges. He will be disappointed if his expeo. ta'ions along this line are not real ized. AS TO APPOINTMENTS. He has been giving the matter of his military staff some attention and has his eyes on those whom he wishes to make a part of his official . family. These appointments are of such a character as to exclude them from the list which is usually applied for, as it rarely occurs that personal ap. plication is made for a staff appoint. ment, it being generally accepted that the Governor should be hands free in selecting those who are to be. 'bome his body guard. Even the se lection of those are a source of much thought and care has to be exercised so that all sections are recognized and given representation as far as practicable, and thus it is that fre quently the best of friends have to be overlooked in order to make place for another because of the locality he hails from. It is safe to say that the personnel of Gov. Heyward's staff will be exceptionally fine, and be representative of the best and brightest of the young manhood of the State. He has been deluged with appli cations for almost every appointive office in the State, but beyond se lecting his private secretary in the person of J. E. Norment, which he is gratified to know was so satisfac torily received, he has abstained from giving such applications any very serious consideration. Very few of these positions can be filled until some time after his inauguration, and probably many of them not until after the adjournment of the Legis lature, and therefore there is no ne cessity for his time and attention to be devoted to their consideration at this juncture when so many more pressing and important matters are under consideration. TI.e many ap plications, therefore, are simply be ing acknowledged ad filad away for future reference. The inauguration date has not been definitely determ ined upon, although it is probable that the usual precedent will be fol lowed and the momentous event oc. cur the second week of the legislat ive session. The Governor is giving some thought to his inaugural mess age, in order that the consideration of that important document may be disposed of. NO EXTE!N81ON. Taxes Muost bo Faid on Time so Far as the Governor and Compt,rolier General Aro Eoneerned. [News and Courier.] The matter of the extension of the time for the payment of taxes has again come up in a somewhat differ ent manner from the ordinary way, but the same conclusion has been determined on-there will be no ex tension so far as the governor and comptroller general are concerned. The governor has received comnmu nications from three county auditors asking that the time bn extended. These come from Greenville, Chero kee and B3arnwoll. Auditor Hicks, of Barnwell, ad vances as a reson that the Act of 1902 provides that 1 per cent. pen. alty should be added on unpaid taxes by January 1; the same on those unptid February 1, and 5 per cent. on unpaid March 1. He says the blanks prepared for treasurers were printed and distributed befori, the Act went into effect, and that the necessary columns are not on them AT COST $ O,tOOO-WOIIm OF NE TO BE CLOSED OUT Bran New Stock1 Schloss Bro -this season,a we have decided to make a Chang I A GENUINE COST SAL It is not a ruse to get rid shelf from season to seas No odor of moth balls or c clothing which is to go in ti remarkable, because ever date in quality and style--I in any market of this coun We Mean What We Say! 9 And $10,000 worth of the very best Clothing is to be closed out at Cost, and if anybody can find"an old gar ment in the lot, we will forfeit the value of the whole stock.
