The political game that is beng
played by Governor Ellerbe,s oppo-
nents, smacks very much like the
McLaurin, Irby-Evans contest. But
the people will not sbe content
to listen to improved charges,
they want something better. We
alwoys had a high regard for Col
onel Watson and believed him to be
honest and sincere in all OF his utter
ances, but his performance at Dor
chester last Saturday did not raise
him in our estimation. Watson had
as we'll understand that the people do
not place much confidence in any
man who undertakes to ride into Of
fee bv endeavoring to show that the
man in Office did not make appoint
ments to please his friends; what the
people most desire to know, did the
Governor, IN making his appoint
ments place the offices into the hands
OF competent men? II Governor FL
lerbe filed vacancies and did not
thereby cripple the public service he
bas done. what his oath OF office re-
ouired him to do, and the complaints
OF the politicians will amount to

It is very evident to US, that CIar-
endon will have to seek men TO &C
cept those positions which do not
have a fat salary attached. There
will he no scarcity OF men to seek
positions which pay. A man to go
to the Legislature not only sacrifices
his personal business but he actually
works hard aud must be economical
il he gets back home without his eS-
penses being more than bis pay. Not
withstanding this, Clarendon has
good legislative material, men who
have the ability and patriotism; these
men would serve the people il prop
erly approached. Were it not against
the established rule Of this paper we
would nominate several gentlemen to
represent US in the lower house. Peo-
pie, look about you and offer tins
honor to some worthy citizen IN your

The account Of the Walterboro
meeting as sent out by correspondent
Gibbs shows that Jew missionaries
are needed in Colleton county night
now. Il viii be remembered 1t was
at Walterboro that Solicitor Bellinger
was so shamefully treated, because
he had the manliress to DO his full
sworn duty. On last Monday the
same mob undertook to wreak its
vengeance on Governor Ellerbe and
some of the drunken set applied dir
" enithets to him, but the Governor
spoke all the same and when he fin
ished, there was a perceptlble change
in the audience. OF course it will
not do to hold any individual account
able for the conduct of a few foolish
men but it does seem to US that the
county chairman should be able to
have order. We venture to say that
in no other county in South Carolina
will such scene be repeated and
we further venture to say that no
other county chairman will continue
a meeting when disrespect is attemp-
ted towards the candidate without
first having had the offenders arrest

der present conditions the dispen-
sarv is nearer temperance than would
be prohibition law, but we cannot
help but admire the pluck exhibited
bv Featherstone. The chosen leader
of his cause, faltered and fell; ordina
rily it would have chilled the ardor
of his followers but not so with
Featherstone, the fact that his leader
fell by the wayside, seemed to add to
his zeal for the prohibition cause, and
with a bravery which is bound to be
admired, he picked up the fallen BAN
ner and in the face of sure defeat he
espouses the principles next to his
heart.
Prohibition Will not win this time,
the people want to give the dispense
ry q fair test, which it has not had,
then, after it has been fairly tested,
it should not prove a good strong
temperance measure, prohibition will
surely follow, and many who are now
supporting the dispeusaIy will join
the prohibitionists to drive liquor
from South Carolina.
There are very many men who
honestly believe prohibition liquor
law can be enforced, and these are
urging prohibition, with sincere mo-
tives, such men have our highest es-
TEEN, but there IS another class whose
motives are not sincere and who think
il the dispensary can be gotten out Of
the way it will leave a clear field to
carry on liquor traffic. The latter
class will vote for prohibition and
their votes count as much as an equal
number of sincere proohibitionists.
Then we lave another class who will
support prohibition to crafty revenge,
they know that prohibition cannot be
anything like a success as long as
the present interstate commerce
laws exist; just so long as the United
States will allow liquor brought into
the State for private use, just so long
will it be almost impossible to enforce
prohibition. Nevertheless this re-
vengeful class think they see a pos
sibility OF a change in the political
complexion and a hope that many
vino are now foundering about on
the political sea will have e haven
thrown open to them where they may
rest their little political souls in pa
tience.

The declination of Mr.. Joel l..
Brunson candidate for governor to
enter the campaign has embarrassed
tie prohibition advocates to a con-
siderable extent. Brunson's letter
puts him in the position Of offering
himself to be voted for as protest
against the sale Of liquor with no IDEA
of being elected. He might as we'll
ask his prohibition friends to decline
to participate in the primary. But the
prohibition standard which was iurled
by Brunson was not allowed to re-
main furled long; another Richmond
stepped upon the field in the person
Of Mr.. Featherstone Of Laurens and
he unfurled the banner and is now
carrying it over the State. We dc
not believe the time is at hand fol
prohibition, and we do believe un-

The Piedmont Headlight says: 1t
seems to US that the Prohibitionists
are the last people in our State to
combine against the dispensary; but
rather should they go to work and
unite with the friends of that law,
and By wedding out Objectionable
features, and restricting the sale Of
iutozicants, gradually pave the way
for total prohibition. In one hour
the dispensary closed the doors OF
every barroom in South Carolina, and
restricted the sale OF liquor between
sunrise and sunset. The temptations
and enticements Of the gilded saloons
have been removed from the paths OF
our young men and you now rarely,
if ever, see a minor under the lntu-
ence Of intoxicants. A mother can
now 60 to sleep knowing that her
boy is safe when out at night. A
man with the thirst for strong drink
fixed upon hin. can only be saved
through the grace of God and by the
exercise OF his own determination.
1t is waste of time to try to reform
a confirmed drunkard unless he wants
himself to be reformed. We can
enact the most stringent prohibition
laws, but the drunkard will have no
trouble in finding all the drink he
Graves and that be can pay for. But
a great moral reform is noticeable in
our rising generation. A young man
now feels that he lowers himself to
be seen in place where liquors are
sold, and few enter either the dispen-
saries ., original package houses. To
further the end OF temperance rests
with our churches and Christian peo-
pie. Ii they will expena one-half the
energy and money it will require to
conduct political campaign in bring
ING moral influence to bear upon the
outside and dram-drinking world,
they will accomplish much more
