The brutality Of a six-day bicycle
contest in this town is condemned by
every editor in the country; but the
dear boys were kind enough to refrain
from their destructive criticisms until
winner. There is a good deal Of hui
man nature in their curiosity, too; AID,
really, after the contest the least tired
OF the general public were the con-
testants themselves. We may be gov
erned too much; and certainly bicycl-
ing and football will go right IN.

The conduct of men in great emer-
gencies often rebukes the ingratitude
and lack Of control in everyday life.
Nansen's countryman, DR.. Sven Hedin,
after suffering from hunger and thirst
for days in unexplored Asia, found a

God first" says he, "and then I felt my
pulse. l wanted to see the effect that
drinking would have on it. y
Then I drank" Religion and science,
in the face Of the imperious demands Of
the physical nature thus asserted
their controlling power.

1t is the belief of the politicians that
"the people" are opposed to the reform
Of the civil service and favor the spoils
system. If the politicians would think
about the matter they might reach a
different conclusion. Some day ever
the most blinded will admit that pat
ronage is not an aid, but an obstacle,
to success. The most c%la!aorous appli-
cants for place are not the most eff
ficient supporters a Ia may have;
often the case is quite contrary to this.

open letter to the prohibition
democrats of the State:

feat in the late primary election;
that he is moro responsible than
any other man in the State for

sarv and the trouble and blood.

ask the prohibition democrats of

didate before the democratic prl-
mary in 1900 for United States
senator to succeed Senator Till
man. And If they do 50 | will
then discuss the merits of the dis
pensary before the people, and
endeavor as democrat who is
deeply interested in the welfare
of the people and the good name
of my State to convince them that
the State dispensary should be
closed to the sale of whiskev as q
beverage and that South Carolina
as State should wash her hands
of this infamous business and the
men who inaugurated this corrupt
political machine within her bor-
ders. | favor a prohibition law
for the whole State but would be
willing after the State has passed
this law to exempt such counties
as by two-thirds vote of the
democrats of the county would
ask to be permitted to sell under
county control, according to the
provision of the present State
constitution: Provided, such coun-
ty would assume all the expenses
of the enforcement of the law and
the responsibility connected with
its sale after 1t was exempted
from the State law If the pro-
hibitiOn democrats decide that
they think best to lndorse some
other democrat for the position |
will cheerfuIly abide their decision
and support loyalty whomsoever
they endorse. From business
standpoint | could not afford to
give up my present position for
that of United States senator,

A GOOD MAN NOMINATED.
Capt John p Hunter Proposed
for the Office of the Super-
intcndent of the PEN
itentiary.
(From the Charleston Post

Efforts are being made to get
Capt John p Hunter, former
United States marshal, to enter
the race for superintendent of
the State penitentiary. His
friends are strongly urging him
to become candidate and it
seems that he will command a
good vote before the legislature.
Capt Hunters democracy is
of the unimpeachahle sort and
his recognized ability and person.
al character will make him
strong candidate if he enters the
race.
Capt Hunter has large cir
Gle of friends in Charleston who
would like TO see him enter the
race and who would be willing to
work in his behalf. Capt Hun
ter was the immediate predecessor
of United States Marshal Melton.
He proved a most efficient officer
and it was generally regretted
when his term expired and he re
turned to his home in Lancaster.
All Charleston will second the
nomination of Capt Hunter for
the superintendency of the penit-
entiary made by the Lancaster
Ledger.
