R B Watson, of Saliida, a candidate for Governor, is quoted I by the Sunday News as saying: As to prohibition that he was not ft Prohibitionist for politics but on principle. He said that prohibition r could not be gotten as a result of pol j ItUrs, but must come as-a result of education in the homes of the pcofcjU ule of the State. He said that he had perhaps a bettor record as a y Prom:tiomst than* almost any one f he knew of. Since the dispensary law therfc has not been a half pint of liquor in his house. He has never token a drink of liquor, had raised m large family, and none of them overdrank. He went on to relate that much of the property around .Kidge Springs belongs to him, and ? - Ko/l o olunvpin IWrytarneverj' ucwi nm< ?... It that thetitle is forfeits as soon as Hkuiar is sold on the premises. He Mild that he had had trouble w'th ?ae man, and made him leave the Community for trying to sell liquor, ^fie said he was uot in the race to make any trades or deals, and MTQOki not make any. He was g?>to keep in the middle of the read, and if any one gets in his way he would be- run over." It is just a little puzzling to uoleratand how a man of fair intel iigeneecan favor the dispensary lystem of selling liquo**, claim to be a prohibitionist on principle tod assert that prohibition could let begotten as a result of poling" It is even more difficult t0 |f nooersian i now a man c<tu uo xi largely benefited in hisjown fami AiV by prohibition and be unwil, hog to apply prohibition to the State. How a man can t>e such a violent prohibitionist as to make a man "leave the community for celling liquor" and still not wish the State to lawfully prevent the salq ot liquor. , The truth is, when a man does not mix his reiigiou and his business, it is because he has no relig* '#bn to mix; and I fear when Co!. Watson takes up his prohibition . principles to remove them from f - his politics, he will be astonished ' at the lightness of his load. The following resolutions are *>.. takeu from a report of the Saluda prohibition convention: I' 4 Resolved, first, That the deiega tea & fta>m this Convention are instructed . to oppose ell nominations for office f* outside of the regular Democratic i primary election. Us Resolved, second, That if the State Convention decides to nominate a State ticket these delegates are fhrther instructed to withdraw thereform. After the above resolutions were adoped the delegates to the State Convention were elected as follows: \U - Col. R.B. Watson, Alvin Etheredge and J. M. Padgett." rtV From other parts of the report ' ire gather that the meeting was composed largely of Jhose who R' wish to contiuue the bui^ness of ^ liquor selling. "U Ttyey should have adopted one moie resolution, as follows: 4 A Resolved,third. Thai should the people of South Carolina elect to office any other than the man we no-rinate, we'll kick the stuffin, out o1 the State. From the Sumter Freeman, we clip the following: The Newberry Voice of the Peo' ' pie says in its last issue that it favorsprohibtion and then, in a numj>v ber of short articles following, pro< ee Is te give the lie to its statement by advocating the dispensary. Prot : hibllionists of this sort belong in the rooks of dispensaryites and are not needed in political movements where it is sought to rid the people of alcohol and attendant evils. . Wax it ou to ?em, friend Miller. Unmask the hvpocrits. Let them not use the livery of heaven to screeve the devil in. Edwin F Miller is a choice soul. iThe sumter prohibitionists should send him to the Legislature. The following is from his paper: "Dispensary advocates are saying that those who opposed the dispensary were blinded by political prejudice. For our part, we are not blinded at all. Our sight is so clear wecau seexthat dispensary liquor - si the same as other liquor and consequently we not only want none of of it ourselves, but we tare opposed to oar agent, the State, handling it." v V. .

Nothing has been done for tkem ontside of contributions given the Hospital Association to care tor them while they were being treated in the Hospital.

Some weeks ago Scott Mention, a color. ed voulh. was eauffht in the act of robbing a siore house belonging to Mr. B F Brockinton, Jr, in the Rhems section, and was sent to jail to await trial at the May term of court, and last week William Mention, fccott's brother, in an attempt to secure an Easter turkey from the fowl house ot Mr. Brockinton,. without that gentleman's knowledge or consent, demolished a well-known law, and, being caught in the act, was sent to the chaingang for a period of thirty days.

In my humble judgement, as Democrats, they are eligible to run in the primary, by an endorsement of all the principles of the Democratic party and pledging to abide the result of the election, they haveing the right to advocate and support prohibition legislation. 3. I do not regard the prohibitioni-tsasa politeal faction in the sense you put it. They are Democrats, with pronounce views and principles on the evils of the liquor question, whose whole pur pose is to upbuild and to elevate the moral status of the people ol the State.

No; not us much as were the Struightouts in 1?90, when they left the Democratic party and ran an independent ticket. S. J. lavlor. 1. They may or may not be. since Prohibition is just one principle to be accepted or repudiated just as the dispensary, tree silver, 1C to 1, or any other question that comes up. A voter may be a Democrat, Republican or a Populist and \u>rk for know?n Pnhibitionists in his primary election, or nominating convention and still be true to the cardinal principles of his party. 2. Yes, provided they accept the proposition to support the nomi nees of the primary, and I think j this the only way to get the sense of the party on Prohibition. 3. No; not as much, for the Reformers demanded more radical changes and a complete surrender of almost every established princi | pie of their party, as is shown by j (he platform adopted from y-'ar; to year.
