THE EX-GOVEUNGII
An excellent gentleman, but t
mediocre governor seems to be tin
verdict ,on the retiring governor
' Hon. I. C. Blackwood.
The Southern christian adyo
cate the. Methodist (white) papet
- published in this City, in its issue
of January 3rd. sny&. of him: .
" He will be remembered by tin
. people of South. Carolina, :l at all
as the Governor w'ho^e eleetioi
was seriously questioned; win
would have rendered a 'better-ser
vice had he never- ruti: who ndde
nothing to the moral stature of hi:
State; who-stood for law which h<
did not observe; who handled th<
vast responsibilities of the pardon
ing power with the intelligence o
a 14 year old by and whos? teni
of office was characterized by in
creasing drunkenness, boot-lagging.
lawlessness, and greed for nr.
godly gain in, high and lo.w place
of South Carolina."
Evidently. Uhe re'tirir.g Governo
_ was not a nappy figure of thos
who elected him. But the colore
'citizens who had nothing to (h
with his eh ction. though taxed t

In addition to some of the thing
above named, they will romoinbe

viction was h:rspd. while at' tiisame
time, he could-in mwst in

to keep whites from the chair. H,
had the greatest respect.for th
death verdicts of.'juries when 'he;
affected Negro s. but'did not t'.i-.l
too much m th.om when wh i:,
