Bearing Inscriptions Commemorating the Imprisonment and Subsequent Liberation of the Foreigners. j A recent Cable message from Pekin by the Associate Press describes the rejoicing among the rescued foreigners so long held captive in the city of Pekin. as follows: "A medal will be strutk commemorating the siege of Pekin. It will bear the legond: "Men. Not Walls, Make a City." In the grounds of the British legation, where a handful of men withstood the millions of the Chinese capital for 56 days, a memorable celebration is in progress, in vindication of that principle. Missionaries, assembled about Bell Tower, are singing the Doxology, rockets are blazing and soldiers and civilians of all nationalities are fraternizing. The women are applauding the sound of the cannon that are smashing the yellow roofs of the Forlridden City. The tired Sikhs are planting their tents on the lawn, and the American and Russian contingents are lighting camp fires along the stretch of turf extending beyond the Tartar wall. Through the ruins of the foreign settlement an eager, cosmoplitan crowd is jostling.

C. Featherstone in i charge, and the principal work will be J' done at this place. Mr. Featherstone i' was in the city Just after the primary ] and gave the following interview to the i press. WSen asked ajoout the result of i the election, he said: "Col. Hoyt has gotten a few more 1 i votes in the first primary than I ex- h pected him to get. When in Charleston j the latter part of July I predicted to ;! the News and Courier man that he would get 30,000. When the entire vote i: is in it will be seen that my prediction 11 ' ? nas Deen more man venueu. "To have gotten such a vote with ; such odds against him is a great vie- ! tory for Col. Hoyt and the cause which ! he has so ably represented. It shows 1 that the people believe in the right. | and that they recognize the ability and purity of Col. Hoyt." I, "What about Col. Hoyt's chances to I win in the second primary?" "I am satisfied that his chances are good. Governor McSweeney's lead of a 1 few thousand votes amounts to little. Nine times out of ten the man behind ( wins in the second heat. Take for example my race with Governor Ellerbe two years ago. He lead me by 13.000 voies and yet in the second election he only beat me by about 4.000. And if my friends had realized my strength I would have beaten him badly. "If Col. Hoyt's friends know his strength and will go to work, he will 1 be our next Governor. "Gary and Patterson took away a good many votes from Governor Me- j Sweeney o naccount of the charges ; made again3t Governor McSweeney by j them, viz: that the Governor was not j enforcing the dispensary law. "It will be remembered that Gary and Patterson, both of whom are men of unquestioned ability, courage and honesty, both charged upon the stump that the Governor's enforcement of the dispensary law was a fraud and a hum- j bug. "Senator Tillman made almost the , same charges. "Now, there is no doubt of the fact that a great many men who favor the dispensary believed those charges and thought the present enforcement of the law could be improved on. Most of theqi. too, are men who honestly and sincerely believe that the dispensary is the best solution of the liquor question, and who are especially Interested in the enforcement of the prohibitive features of the law. In other words, they have a sincere de?ire to I ? ~ 1- ^ U J /Mi* or?<4 iMif nrnK i Vi I _ IlltthC 11 ItSiU UJJ IU VUb auu vuw tion. That there are thousands of such people in the State cannot be doubted, and they have the respect and confidence of those who do not agree with therrjf A large proportion of the men who voted for Gary and Patterson came from their ranks. Now, that their can- \ didates J e out of the race, for whom are they going to vote? They cannot consistently vote for Governor McSweeney, and, in my judgment, they will vote for Col. Hoyt. And they will do so for the reason that they know J that he will enforce the l&w rigidly and make it as near prohibition as it can be made. i "But in addition to this, a part of the Gary and Patterson vote came from their personal friends, not because i they believed in the dispensary law, j but because mey resoguiztu uie nun- i esty and ability of Gary and Patterson. Mr. Gary has been in the General As-1 sembly for 10 or 12 years, and for a , part of that time presided over the j House -with conspicuous fairness and J ability. Ho comes from a large and . influential family. His brothers, who are upon the bench, are men cf ability j and influence, and there is not a parti- i cle of doubt but that a part of his vote was a purely personal one. "And the same can be said of Mr. j Patterson, whose ability and good public Mfnni Mrinnt be. questioned. A i part of this vote I know will go to Col. Hoyt, and I believe that by far the greater part of it will do so. "And then we must take into eonsid- ( cration the fact that there is a good, large vcite which did not come out last Tuesday because it was uncertain as to j what chance Col. Hoyt stco l. And j i there 3re at least 1,000 voters who were j out of the State?in the mountains and , elsewhere. But nearly all of these ' votes will come out in the second pri- j, mary. "A systematic, and organized fffort j ' will now be made fay Col. Hoyt's friends from this on and there is every reason to believe that Cbl. Hoyt will be J cur next Governor. "I want my friends in the State to know that the fighic. is not lest by a 1 great deal.?and that by a strong pull and a pull all together we can win. < "We have fought upon principle and 1 for the right and have nothing to re- ; i traot. We will fight to the last ditch !; and expect to win. | j "We will conduct the work largely 11 from Columbia, where our friends can i reach us." ? * -* * , ' : t; ;'T AND COL. HOVT on at the Result of Primary. GOVERNOR /YSWEENEY ISSUES AN ADDRESS. Following the receipt of the returns from the first primary election. Got. McSweeney issued the following adIress: To the People cf South Carolina: Fully appreciating the large vote which I received in the primary on Tuesday as a strong endorsement of my administration, I desire to express to my friends my sincere acknowledgment for the support given. The battle is to be fought over again between Col. Hoyt. the prohibition candidate, and myself on Tuesday, September 11. The vote on Tuesday showed that the sentiment of the State is against prohibition by statutory enactment, and in favor of the dispensary as the best solution of the liquor question. While fully pbrsuaded that ..his is true, yet I do not rest my claims entirely on the liquor question, because there are other issues of as fax reaching importance. I have felt it my privilege, as well as my duty, to ask ray fellow citizens to endorse my administration by glvirg me a full term, and I have rested my claims on the record of my administration. It has been my earnest endeavor to discharge the duties of the offl-ce faithfully and impartially and to follow no lead but that of duty. My efforts have been to give the people a business administration, free from politics, because this is peculiarly a business age. In how far success has crowned my efforts the question Is submitted to the bulness men of the Skate. There has been good feeling amcng all the people of the State and I have contributed what I could as chief ex ecutive to that end. Tbare is no reason for our people to be divided into hostile camps, for such a course would retard the material development' ana progress of the State. The chargie that the dispensary law has not been enforced has been met and answered fully by me on every stump in South Gorolina, It is better enforced than since it has been on the statute books, and it has been enforced ' with fewer constables, with less expense and without friction or blood- ' shed. It should be remembered that the charge of non-enforcement comes largely from those who oppose the law and want to see It overthrown, and who are no more in favor of prohibition than the dispensary, but are endeavoring to use prohibition with which to kill the dispensary. I am deeply grateful for the hearty support given me by the people of the entire State; and, as to Charleston, my f desire is that the people of that <:ity chnii that thAv are aji imDOltart part cf the commonwealth, and Charleston being the metropolis of the State, her citizens should be in business and commercial touch with every section of South Carolina. I feel that the supportt given me in Charleston and Columbia Is the support of business men and tho-e who endorse a business administration and aro tired of eternal bickerings and snarlings and captions fault-findings. The educational issue has bn overshadowed by that of liquor, and it is well to say that my record for the common schools and the State colleges haa always "been positive and for their hearty support. I may say, incidentally and modestly, that I am no recent convert (to the support of the higher educational fnterests of the State, but stood there when they nee&sd friends in the Senate and House of Representatives. I have made no deals, but have held myself free to follow the path of duty, and rather than have piy hands tied by deals and combinations, i snoum j)m? defeat. In making appointments it has beer my endeavor to select men of charaa er and efficiency. Believing in local selfgovernment in all local matters, the counsel and advice of the Senators and Representatives from each county have been sought. I helieve tho people, recognizing the justice and fairnes3 of giving my administration the endorsement I se2K, will give me a handsome majority on the 11th of September. My friends should not become over confident, however, because there .s always danger ia over confidence. If they turn out and voTe, success is assured, and aside from my personal interests, it is of the upmost hn-ortanee tha-. there be a free and full ballot in th 5 second primary. M. B.
