It is quite refreshing to see at least

It is quite refreshing to see at least
one newspaper which heretofore has
been criticisiug Governor Ellerbe,
come out and dash aside narrow
minded prejudice and give the Gov
ernor credit for the good things he
has done. The Columbia State is
opposed to the Dispensary law and it
fights it wherever it sees possible
chance to get in a wand in fighting
this law it necessarily criticises Gcv-
ernor Ellerbe every time be does any
thing in behalf of the law. Aside
from the Dispensary the State has
the fairness to give Governor Ellerbe
credit for being honest, for hav-
ing an administration free from the
suspicion OF taint, and for SO conduct
ing his Office as to bring the white
people of South Carolina into harmo-
nious living again. Tie estate"
gives Ellerbe credit with being the
Governor of the whole people instead
of political faction, and we heartily
endorse the Estates" view and esti-
mate of our Chief Executive. The
difference between the criticism of
the estate" and some other newspa-
pers is plainly seen. The estate"
criticises the Governor because it be-
lieves him wrong in his dispen-
sary policy, and not from any po-
itical or factional disappointment. It
endeavors to argue to its readers to
stamp.out the dispensary By using its
reasoning powers. This is Legitimate
and honorable journalism. Other
newspapers, however, have become
soured because of failure to get some
favor, and are finding fault with every
movement the Governor makes; they
damn him if be does and they double
damn him if he don't. Such journal
ism is not legitimate and it's dishon-
orable, because they are manutactur-
ing a sentiment with falsehood and
misrepresentation as foundation.
The people are deceived thereby and
it has tendency to dwarf the infu-
ence of the press.

Notwithstanding the low price OF
cotton, the business men of Charles
ton propose to make it an induce
ment for the country folk to visit the
"City-by-the-sea.'' Active prepsra-
tions have already begun and piles OF
money are being spent to make ''Gala
Week" week Of JOY. The arrange
ments have been divided off into COM
mittees made up Of Charleston's most
active young men and they are going
right ahead, and they will have the
best amusement program ever gotten
up for such occasions The railroads,
too, have been enlisted to help the
cause, and cheap rates have been Sc
cured. When Charleston puts on her
holiday clothes and invites her coun,
try cousins to come to town and share
her joys, the invitation always meets
with hearty acceptance from Clar-
endon, and we will all hustle around
to get 'sbile6" shirt and have our
trousers patched in time to see the
beginning of the fun, and we will stay
until we have spent all of our chicken
change"

CHATTANOOGA, Nov. 29.-Business il

The volume of business is satisfactory
and the outlook for the new year is very
encouraging.
There is no decrease in the production
Of iron, but the plants are mostly busy
on old orders and 1t is expected that the
decrease in the demand will enable the
furnaces to accumulate some stock at AL
early date. in order to be ready for the
heavy business expected in the spring.
Textile manufacturers report steady
demand for their product and the lifting
of the quarantine regulations has given
new life to the lumber industry.

Csrolina's Appeal From Sinlouton's De-

WASHINGTON, Nov. 29.-The appeal
of the state Of Soath Carolina from the
decision of Judge Sir1onton in the case
OF the Vandercook company's COM
plant of the enforcement OF the dlspen-
sary law has been docketed IN the
United States supreme court. Repre-
sentatives of both sides of the contro-
versy have agreed upon a motion 10 ad-
vance the case upon the docket. which
motion probably will be maae IL the
court on Monday.
It is the principal issue as the effect
Of the congressional amendments to the
federal act regulating interstate traffic
in spirits. These amendments We're
Incorporated in the law at Senator Till
mans instance after the decision OF the
supreme court holding the state law to
be antagonistic to this federal statute,
but Judge Simonton in the present case
holds that the amendments did not re-
move the friction and that the enforce
ment Of the dispensary law by taking
possession Of goods shipped to the state
outside, as in the case Of the Wander
cook shipment, was a violation OF the in
EeTStatS commerce law.

Charleston's sheriff, Hugh Fergu-
son, is dead. He was ii many re-
spects natural leader of men ard
one in whom the masses had implicit
confidence. AS leader he had no
superior, and although of foreign
birth, he was a typical Charlestonian.
The poor of Charleston will miss his
charity and the ambitious young men
will miss his advice. He was thor
ough but an honest politician, and
whenever be took position he was
rock-ribbed in his views, at the same
time he was never known to offensive
ly foist his opinions upon others. His
death is loss to Charleston's busi-
ness community and its politics.
South Carolina never had more de-
voted son than Hugh Ferguson and
the Democratic party never had Z
truer and more loyal advocate. His
influence was not confined to Charles
ton; it was felt all over the State.
Every county leader has watched the
movements of Hugh Ferguson to
catch his ideas OF campaign manage
ment. We hope in selecting sue
cessor to this faithful public servant.
Governor Ellerbe will select a man
who will merit the high esteem so
universally accorded the lamented
Ferouson.
