The Next Governor.

While many of our contemporaries are
suggesting names for our next Governor,
it would lily become us to overlook the
claims of Gen. Samuel McGOwan, of Abb
beville. Since tho war with Mexico, in
which he enacted the part Of soldier and
patriot, Gen. MCGOWAN has enjoyed
prominent hold on the public mind, and
has exercised wido influence over up
per Carolina. His broad and liberal
views in craftsmanship, his purity of
character, his ready and eloquent powers
us q public speaker, taken with his re-
cord rs soldier and patriot, combine
with his winning manners to render him
both popular and suitable candidate for
our noXt Governor. In tho late war he
served his country with zeal and fidelity,
rising to tho rank ofa brigadier general,
and was beloved by his men i'r
his great care of them at all times. a.
ter tho close of the war, with brokon
fortunes, he returned to his profession,
and no man in tho State has sacri-
feed moro in the effort to redeem the
State and restore to it tho blessings OF
rood government than Gen. McGowan.
Once he was elected to Congress, but was
deprived OF his seat by partisan major
ity. Again when an effort was made to
get REPRESENTATION in Congress, he was
put forward as the standard bearer of the
party by reason of his great personal
popularity and his cloquence on tho
stump. On this occasion he sacrificed
his personal feelings and his professional
duties for the good of the State, and was
defeated more by the dependency OF our
people than from any other cause. lie
was regarded the leader of forlorn
hope, but rs he sought not tho issue, he
then and never has failed to meet the call
of his State. The good seed sown by
him this campaign has greatly aided to
restore good government in South Caro-
lima. In tho memorable campaign of
1876, whose voice was heard oftener on the
stump and who dealt more telling blows 20
corruption than Gen. McGowan? At
tho close of the campaign it was found he
had pollcd the highest vote of any OF the
Democratic electors for President, thus
showing his great strength among the
pcople. Wherever the battle has been
thickcst and tho fight heaviest for tho re-
dcmption of the State there the old hero
of the Third District has been found.
One who has sacrificed so much and con-
tributed so much in behalf of the re-
dcmption Of the State merits the recogni-
ton of being made Chief Magistrate of
South Carolina. When we add to all this
the fact that hc is eminently qualified for
the position, who will say nay to the
nomination of Gen. McGowan for our
next Governor?-Heo'cee Courier.

The New York Sun puts the political
situation bluntly but forcibly and truly
in the following words:
Mr.. Blaine, Mr.. Sherman, the third
termers, and the fraudulent administra-
ton may make speeches, and more
speeches, and do what they will to turn
the public mind off upon their questions,
but the real issue is this of honest and
economical government. The people are
determined to stop the plunderiDg and
thesquandering, to reduce their taxes, and
pay for nothing but the support of their
governments. They know that extrava-
gance is the parent of every other evil,
and that people who permit the earn
ings of industry to be taken and enjoyed
by their rulers, either with or without
the forms of law, are mere slaves. The
political history of the last few years
shows that this great truth has leavened
the whole public mind. The real strug-
gle now is for emancipation from corrupt
combinations, rings and corporations,
which, III ways too numerous to mention,
pray upon the people and eat out their
substance.

For some time w. E. Earle, Esq, of
Greenville, has been prominently spoken
of in connection with the Radical nomi-
nation for Governor, from the fact that
it has been supposed that they would
seek to nominate q native who has not
been in any State Office during the cor
rupt past of that party. Mr.. Earle re-
Gently published card in the Ne'cs and
Courier saying that he was out of poll
tics, and would not accept the nomina-
ton, as he is devoting his time entirely
to his profession. In the card he goes
on to say:
~ should regard a party campaign rs
a misfortune to all classes of citizens in
South Carolina. Political quiet will
best foster the growth which seems to
have begun in her business and material
interests. l should regard it fortunate
if national and party politics could be
eliminated from the next campaign ab-
solutely, and that there should be an
untrammelled discussion throughout the
State of such State policy as is most
likely to encourage the introduction of
capital to improve and develop our agri-
cultural and manufacturing resources.
This would benefit all classes, whilst
party agitation only demoralizes labor,
and not only repels capital, but is driving
the accumulations of our own people to
seek investment elsewhere"
Mr.. Earle's idea of an untrammelled
and free discussion might be a good one
if it were possible to carry it out, but
any such attempt means the restoration
of Radical supremacy in South Carolina,
for the Radical vote, seeing that it can
accomplish nothing by itself, now stands
ready to join any faction of the Demo
cratic party which will trade with it.
Any movement looking to breaking up
of the Democratic party is step to the
restoration of Radicalism. If it be true
that any labor or capital are kept away
from South Carolina because of Demo
cratic supremacy, then we want such
labor and capital to stay away, for it
consists of an element which loves cor
ruptiou rather than pure government,
and would be curse rather than bless
ing to the State.

The Supreme Court has had about four
months, we believe, in which to render
its decision in the State Bond cases, and
yet no determination of the important
issues presented has been announced by
the Court. The people are becoming
anxious for the decision, and fear that
the long delay may serve to weaken the
case of the State by allowing the strong
evidence Of fraud and iniquity with
which the Bonds are tainted to De in a
measure forgotten. We presume the
Court have the matter under advisement,
and will arrive at decision soon. 1t is
unfortunate for our Courts to fail in rem
dering their DEGREES within the sixty days
allowed by law, and it is especially 80
for this failure to occur in important
public cases like that before the Supreme
Court.

4 SINGULAR MOVE.
A Georgia Mountain which Is Slowly Sink
ing Into the Earth.
ATLANTA. GA. Aug. is. 1879

ATLANTA. GA, Aug. is, 1919
News has just been received of tho
further sinking Of the large mountain i'll
North Georgia, which dropped into a
suddenly made chasm some time since.
This mountain, known rs Ingolo, is an
enormous one. 1t is moro than two
miles about its base, and it is about as
high as Stone Mountain SouIc months
ago laundering noise was heard, as ifa
lively earthquake had suddenly COM
II ancod operations. A gentleman who
was going by tho Ingolo Mountain look
ed toward it, and was amazed to see fully
one-third of the enormous mass break
loose from the rest and suddenly vanish
into The earth beneath, carrying with it
iElmense trees, stones, etc. After a few
days the scene was visited, and it was
found that the ground on which about
one-third of the mountain was resting
had opened or broken through and the
mass thus being left without support
tumbled into tho chasm provided for it.
1t apparently about filled this chasm to a
level with tho ground, but has since been
sinking. No one can imagine the cause,
and fears are entertained that the rest Of
tho mountain must follow. Tho side
from which the falling mass was torn is
having been followed in tho tearing loose.
The mass has just let down about two
feet further, and the whole case will bo
investigated by competent scientists,
who are determined to probc the secret
of the lost mountain.
GAISESvILLE, GA, Aug. 2i.-The mys-
terry over the sinking mountain Is still
unsolved, unless the explanation given
by Mr. NJ. Stephenson, an old and ac-
cotnplished scientist, is the true one.
He bas lived in this gold bearing section
ever since the first white men came here.
he says that he distinctly remembers
that about forty years ago q shaft of
mino was run under the edge of the
mountain, and aftcrward abandoned.
Later river, which runs near by, ill
tered through into the shaft and washed
away all trace of it. 1t is very deep,
swift mountain stream, and lie supposes
that it has gradually washed out the
shaft and enlarged the hole until there
was a vast chasm of q half mile long and
fully as broad, and half as deep. lie
thinks this continued washing until the
support of about one-third OF tho noun
tain was eaten away, and it then tumbled
into the chasm. 1t seems almost incred-
ible that this could be true, and yet it is
the only explanation offered. This, Mr..
Stephenson holds, would account for the
continued sinking of the broken mass, as
he holds that the river is still eating it
away.
Thousands Of persons have visited the
scene, and many superstitious fears have
been raised on account Of the fall of the
mountain. The whole gold bearing sec
ton Is full of violent streams, falls and
cascades, and there is some few subter-
ranean streams of considerable size.-

believe in the Radical prophecies that the
State of Kentucky is in danger of losing
its position at the head of the Democratic
