FLOYD ON WATTS.
After Gen Watts speech,
wherein he said he stood on his

came to the front. "Gen Watts, ;

Gen Watts-Well, unfold it.

as possible and declaring that as
governor he would execute what.
ever laws the people passed.
Colonel Watson said his hirh-
est ambition was to do sometime
for the common schools of South
Carolina. The people were stirred
rs never before on the educational
question and there was a brighter
day for the common schools. He
wanted all the colleges to be IN
close contact with the people. He
did not want to pull down exist
ing institution but he wanted
the State to build from the bot
tom upwards. The private col
Icges had not fair play. They
are educating 2 1-2timeS as many
students rs the State colleges
were and they did not want indis-
criminate free tuition. Men and
women who ought to be IN the
primary schools should not be in
college. He was applauded when
he said that the dispensary was
the best solution OF the liquor
question, but advised his hearers
not to drink whiskey.
MIR Featherstone indulged in n
"heart talk" on prohibition. He
would tax it if every man, wo-
man and child opposed him. He
knew that the sale of liquor could
not be stopped entirely, but it
could be diminished largely. Pro.
hlbition was right and he appealed
to individual consciences in de-
termining their vo es. "Vote as
you pray" MIR Feathcrstone re,
ceived generous applause.
Candidate Archer recited some
of the eXtravagances which the
Reform government had been
guilty of. There was not the
proper proportion of expenditures
between higher and lower educa-
tion in South Carolina.
Col Gwait Whitman was es
pecially happy in his picturesque
presentation of the state of poll
tics and education today.
Governor ElIerbe received an
plause. Called to the Office bv
the people of both factions, he
did not ask reelection if the in
famous charges against him were
proven. He would not bow to
the politicians if he never held
Office. His only ambition had
been to give unselfish ser"Icc. No
manly man would advance charges
that he could not sustain. Tillman
had made wholesome charges
against his administration, but he
would not prove them. Tillman
had gone to Clemson with a mi.
nority report in his pocket, but
they bamboozled him and he
signed report saying the col
lege was doing a grand work.
