?|c M?mj)inaii aub Souiljrmi. WEDNESDAY, JUNS 27,1900. The Swater i?atcfirnan was roundea a 1850 and the Trm Southron in i860. The IFaic/im^y. a.nc2 Southron new has fee combined circulation and iufiuence of ooth of the ola papers, and is mani? festly the best- advertising medium in Ssmter. an-n-----TBBM-aa-om Those who assert that Co!. Hoyt ?will poll a 6mail vote in the primary jmagine a . vain thing Within the ]S3Bt two weeks the writer has visited sereu counties in the eastern section af the State, and io every one Col. Hayt will poll a large vote . In three sounties well informed men stated ihat he will ?ead in the first primary. In the other four it was the general 3>erief that Gov. McSweeney would lead in the first primary and obtain a ?sall majority in the second. We lound that many men not prohibition? ists will vote for Col. iBLoyt, and that "his strongest point is not the prohibi? tion platform but his high personal character, bis fitness for the position and the general belief that if he is elected Governor he will enforce the laws as he finds them with a wise dis? cretion and without fear or favor. Gov McSweeney bas a strong hold with the people, and, at present, so far as the writer could gather during a rather hurried trip, he is the leading man in the race, but the race is not yet wGn. The two other candidates will be in the list of "also ran" if pres? ent indications count for anything. The probabilities are that Gov Mc? sweeney will be choice of the coun? ties we have visited, but he wi il have little to spare, and if Coi Hoyt rolls ap the big majorities in the Pied? mont counties that are claimed for aim, be will be the nominee, unless other sections of the State rally to the McSweeney standard. Notice of a Suit Against South Carolina. Tbe State, June 26 Semi months ago the attorney geo sral of the Uotted States in an informal Baener notified tbe State officials in aaakiDc* bi* demand for a settlement, ?ha?- tbe Federal goverocoeot would jnter suit against this State for upwards -of ?300.000 of cid claims which the "United States avers tbe State of Sooth '2arolisa owes to the national govern? ment. The claims are all old war elaims, and a very small part of the 7alid war claims held by the State against Uncie Sam would offset them The State's oiaims are DOW in course of adjudication, bot this seems to make no dtfitrence insofar as Uncle Sam's desire io press his claims are concerned. for yesterday notice of snit agaiost the $cst> was served upon the attorney general, who, while is yet has notbiog to say about tbe matter for publication, will look into the merita of the matter and pursue the ooar?e he deems best. ""Sba notice reads as follows : Tho. Hoked States of America. 93 The President of the United States of Am-riea. To the Marshal of tba Supreme Court of rbe Uoi^d States.
