FEATHERSTONE IN DEFEAT.
A Manly Letter to tho People OF South
Carolina.

Mr.. G. @. Foathorstone, tho Prohibit
tion candidate for Governor in tho recent
primary elections, addresses tho follow
ing lcttor to tho people of the State:
In the first place, 1 desire to thank my
frionds all over the State for the many
| kindnesses and cOurtosies shown mo dur
ing the recent campaign, and for tho
large vote given mo on the 30th of August
and 18th of September. From the bot
tom of my heart appreciate their kind
ness and support. | shall endeavor to so
conduct myself that those who gave me
their support shall never have cause for
regret.
1 have made tho bcst fight that could.
[ have made 1t upon the highest plane of
which l was capable. Whom / entered
tho race l was conscious that was advo-
eating what was right. Tho campaign
has but strengthened my convictions
along that line. I have no regrets. My
conscience and skirts arc clear.
In tho second place, | would urge my
friends and supporters not to become
discouraged. Wo have mado a good
and for the sake Of principle. We have
nothing to be ashamed of. Botter things
are In store for us in tho future. Right
must and will triumph in tho end. GO to
work in earnest for tho cause that you
love. BE more in earnest than ever, and
in the future good results are sure to
follow.
In tho third place, lot mo urge my
friends to be true and loyal to the incom-
cooperation and support it can be mado
better. 1t is yonr duty as good citizons
to stand by tho law, as long as 1t remains
tho law, no matter how bad it may be.
Wo havo had enough strife and bitter.
moss in South Carolina. We must got
together and bolster up our offlcers and
assist them in tho discharge of thoir
t;""ios. IL il not tho part OF good oiti-
zonship to abuse and vilify those in
power. On tho contrary, tho good citi-
zon, ovon though he belong to tho
minority, will, after he has mado his
fight, rally to tho support Of those by
whom ho has been boat9n, and assist
them in tho execution of tho laws.
| therefore urge my friends to throw
aside their disappOintments and proju-
dcos and act as true CarOlinians ought
10 aut.
For those who have fought mo upon
principle, who havo boon fair and have
used no improper means, have nothing
ply dono what they had q right to do.
Those who have fought mo with impro-
per motives, and have used doubtful
methods, will find punishment enough
in tho accusations, Of their own consCi-
cnces.
Ihave nothing OF tho "soro head" about
mo. I shall not "sulk In my tent"
am ready and willing to do all In my
power to benefit and help old South
Carolinn. Very truly,
..... G. G. FEATHERsTONE.
