TIlE STAyE CAMPAIGN.

we hSar very llttle OF the state CAM
paign though we believe it is Keeping
its appointments and is now exhibiting
in the eastern portion OF the State.
From what We can hear from individ
nails Col. Q. J.. Schumpcrt is making
more friends than any man in tho race
for Governor. He is making manly
and straightforward speeches and not
abusing anybod. or trying to ride into
Office on the dcmerits Of his opponents
or by abusing them or trying to tear
down things in general. In fact a gen.
hleman who was not a supporter Of Col,
Schnmpcri said he believed there would
he second race and that it would l>c
between Col. Schumpcrt and Gov
klierhc and il it was, Col. Schumper,
stood an excellent chance OF winning
The plum. We hope il is true for tn. VI
IS no candidate in The field who would
make better or ADLER chief executive
than =. l.. Schumreri.
To lndge from the newspapcr repor IS
OF the meeting one would conc nde that
Col. 60, II. Tfllman was the leading
candidate hui rom ~hai we can gather
Col. TIllman is going to be sadly dis.
appointed man when .ha votes arc
counted He is an able man and has
been greatly honored by the people Of
South Carolina but We do no. believe
he will he in the race this time.
For Attorney General the newspaper
reports give little or no Information,
thonSh We have information from the
lower part OF the State that Senator
Geo. >. Mower is going 10 get good
vote anu come very near beating MIR
Rcllingrr in his own haiiwick. 1t ap.
pears 10 lis that the rcpDrtcr for the
da'ly papers leans 10 Mr.. Brllinger
though that does not control the votes,
Mr.. Mower is man of unouestioncd
anllty As lawyer and fine character
rs n man and those who know him will
vote for him. We like MIR. Bclinuer.
lie Is a pleasant gentleman and makes
good solicitor and we want to krrf,
hini iii Ills present position. In this
county, Mr.. Mowers home county. he
will get practically solid vote.
Int this is one year all forecasts as
I" the result are mere guess work.
The people are not saying much and
are not at all dcmonslralive.
So far rs the issue OF dispensary or
prohibition is concerned we believe
that the disprnsary is going to win but
that fight should be made for members
OF the Legislature If it is made at all,
for State officers will have nothing to
40 with changing the law.
For Comptroller General VIC are for
the present incumbent Mr.. J. =. Der
ham. He makes good officer and has
only had it for a few months and Horny
should have representation on the
ticket.
For Lient"naut Governor McSwccncy
has no opposition, though he has pro-
missed us to bc present at the campaign
meeting at Newbcrry. We shall vote
for him.
State Treasurer Zimmerman has no
opposition and we shall vote for him.
Secretary OF State ID. II. Tompkins
has made good officer and was our
nelghbor some years ago and we have
no desire to make change i'm TINT
oilicc.
Superintendent OF Education W. d,
Mayficld has made II competent Official
and understands the duties and needs
of the Office.
For Railroad Commissioner we shall
vote for our own county man Rev. j. a.
Sigh.
The reader Of course may do as he
pl'ascs in this matter. We are not
trying to direct how any one shall
vote, but we think the voters Of New
berry County should give our Ncwberry
men solid vote.
In about ten days the procession will
reach Ncwberry and then we will have
an opportunity to hear and see them
for ourselves.
