lowing is sufficiently large to guarantee

has called to his support, names, by the
way, which certainly carry weight for posi-
tive worth. They are Theodore BabcOck,

Uncle George and Others.

On our first page We give Uncle George
Tillmau's platform IN the present campaign
for Governor. Uncle George presents sew
eral strong and taking features IN bis cam
paiyn document, but in our judgment II we
do not Judge very badly Of the political
sirps of the times, Governor w. II. Ellerbe
will be his own successor. There is a kind
of unwritten law in the Democratic party
that gives q Governor two terms unless he
has been very interior man or guilty OF
some great outrage
Governor Ellerbe has made very good
Governor. He is safe man, AID we be-
lieve an honest man He is not the tool OF
apy man or set of men. He has had a
great many appointments to political posi-
ton to fal! to his lot, and lie has invariably
made good selections. The clevcrneSs OF
his selections for many positions IS what
has made the politicians mad with MN.
He has given Charleston some very efficient
appointments, and thereby has incurred
the enmity of the News and Courier, which
never lets an occasion pass without knlhng
him, but that only makes him stronger
outside of Charleston and with the masses.
We do not claim intaliibility for Governor
Elerbe but we believe the rights Of the cit
izen and property are safe in his hands,
and the people at large think the same
thing. It is the general opinion with the
most sensible men that we have interview
ed that Ellerbe will be an easy winner

CountT Teachers Institute

Has been appointed for this place
from July $50. One Of the requlr-
ments for teachers is to attend these
institutes and it is to be hoped every
teacher in this county will avail HIM
self or herself of this opportunity.
The success of the institute will de-
pend largely upon the attendance.
and in order to enable teachers who
live too far away to attended daily,
an effort will be made to secure free
entertainment for them. To this
end ask every family in town who
can and will do so, to entertain one
or more teachers from Monday until
Friday. Where you have a special
friend you could extend an invitation
if not an assignment could be made
Of those who come to stay, to those
parties who have agreed to aid the
teachers thus. This plan has work
ed well wherever tried, and you can
thus be an aid in the educational in
terests of your county. Now, fellow
teachers, whether or not this ar
rangement can be effected should
make no difference with you. Come
if possible.
Messrs. Z. C. Coker of the Marion
schools and E. J. Browne of the Cole
ciate Institute here will have charge
of the institute. They will do all in
their power to make ita week OF prof.
it as we'll es of pleasure to you. II
this arrangement can be made, 1t
will be so announced in time. Should
there appear no announcement,
make up your minds to attend any
way and let's make the institute one
of profit to each of US. Those OF US
who attended the one held here last
year recall the pleasure and profit
derived. Remember the date July

State Campaign.

Very little iaterrst has Thus lar been
manifested in tie State campaign. lac
attendance las been small and TINS far
practically no enthusiasm has been deve!-
oped. The chief attraction, OF course, Will
be the Guhcrnntorial ra:e. It seems that
all candidates With one accord are eadeav-
oring to strengthen themselves by pitching
Into Governor ELerbe The Governor has
been accused OF being political tricksteI,
using his Office for personal profit etc. We
feel sure that some Of the candidates have
gotten the Governor mixed up With his
predecessor.
Our acquaintance with Governor Eilerbe
is very slight, hand-shake and possibly
three minutes conversation is the sum OF
it. We have. however, observed his course
during the past two years, and while not
agreeing with him or the whole, especially
rs regards the GiSpenSary Law; We believe
him to be al honest ana upright man and
to hin. we accord the credit for doing more
than any man in SoG;h Carolina 10 stop
TIE fact;onal, strife OF recent years and re-
unite the people OF the State. We are un-
able to place finger on any wrong he has
done during his term Of Office. Such being
the case according to the time-honored tra-
dItion, Of the State he is entitled to re-elec-
ton. We know of no case in the history
O: our State where Governor asked for n
second term aad was defeated.
Defeat to the present incumbent will
mean fer more 70 him than to any other
candidate. II Governor Ellcrbc is defeated
it means disgrace 70 him. That he is an
unworthy and Improbable servant Of the
people; SO unfit for Office that in the face
of every tradition Of the past be must be
cast out as unworthy of public confidence

COMMENTS OF THE PRESS.
Strong indication that the People Will not Heal
the Sores OF Politicians.
Wanted--C!ean Politics.

The campaign of the State. by the c;!udl-
dates for State offices and members Of Con-
gresS, opened at OTangeburg last Thurs
: ,iav, the 10th inst, anu II we may Judge
from the beginning, il will be q campaign
OF personal wrangic between the various
candidates. 1t Is unfortunate that iHtelil-
gc!!t !2rn. men w..o ought 70 possess the
refined ;ce!in.;; o: ge;Ilirmcn, sho!i!G de-
cs!;i 10 the methods OF a ticli;reJ-,;ic IL
the campaign. The p2op.e N" always glad
10 listen 10 argument f!u:n c.ul.ii"ieS on
the issues OF tie day, provided always that
discussion is fair antt honorable. But
when it comes 10 Gra;0:tcuS sings Of an
indiSc!im;nate character, q: an opposing
candidate, and that, too, without any sort
of proof, it seems that it IS time tor the
people, in :heir fair and honest way Of DC
lnG things, to call a halt.
There Is such thing us fairness IN ev-
cry discussion. 1t is very easy, It is true,
to make charges, but to furnish proof
thereof is quite another thing. 1t is quite
important for the candidates now, at the
b2giuuiu-, TO learn that the voters Of the
State demand solac evidence OF truth OF
grave charges asa;ns.a candidate before
accepting them That is right, and what
every intelligent voter ought 20 and Will
do The people are not q set Of ignoram-
uses, and ;or this reason viii not condemn
q public servant uuhear1 and will neither
Gil upon any one to d:sprove reckless
charges.
We tiud in the imputat;ons Of Mr. Il. 3.
Watson OF Salula against the official Char
acter Of Governor E!lerbe anything else
than fair discussion o; political issues.
