atty of failure in what he has chosen as
his life work. In the west all this was
different. Versatility was necessity.
The successful man must know how to
do many things. The gleanings of any
one field of activity were too small to
afford living Of themselves. This fact
was accepted by the citizens of the
country, sometimes with grim hunor
which marked the west.

1t now appears that there is no law
providing for the payment of the deputy
wardens who assisted Warden Wilcox
in the fight with the Utes. The law
plainly empowers a game warden to call
on citizens to assist him in enforcing
law and order, but the matter of remun-
Grafton is entirely overlooked, and it is
probable that the men who risked their
lives to uphold the majesty of the
states statutes will receive nothing for
their pains. This state of affairs affect
ing the deputy game wardens is in
striking contrast with the treatment by
the state of the committee appointed by
the governor to investigate and report
on the Indian trouble. The committee
was composed Of three men, and they
were to serve without pay. Yet when
their labors were completed and their
bills for expenses submitted, Governor
Adams thought the amount so modest
that he feared that the committee had
refrained from including sundry incl
dental items, and. besides allowing all
expenses, presented each member with
$50. The claim of each deputy warden
amounts to $50. or total of $500. The
Craig Courier pithily suggests that the
governor dig up the same law that en-
powered him to present his commission
with $50 and act accordingly.

A Carolina Orator,
The Augusta Evening Herald.

The Augusta Evening Herald.
The campaign in South Carolina
has developed genuine orator. We
repeat that in the present contest we
have no other interest than that
the best man could win. We now
speak, not Of tie military qualifca-
tions of the gentleman in question
however great they may be-but OF
the eloquence which has recently
proved revelation to the historic
old Palmetto State, so distinguished
for oratory.
This rare and surprising gift be-
longs to Hon j. W. Floyd, who is
candidate for the position of Adju-
tant and Inspector General of the
State, to succeed Gen. John Gary
Watts, the present incumbent.
Mr.. Floyd entered the race prac-
tically an unknown quantity. But
he has been heard from since. Every
where his fervid, impassioned sty'e,
as well as his empty sleeve, awakens
the widest enthusiasm. He has q
fine, sonorous voice, easily heard and
deeply penetrating. He stirs his
audience wherever he appears.
Gen. Watts has rendered efficient
service to the State, but he makes no
pretence to oratory and it is freely
predicted that Mr.. Floyd may yet
succeed in winning out. He would
render valuable service to the State,
for be knows the art of war practically
and theoretically.

A Farmers" Estimate Of South
Carolina's Chief Executive.

To the Editor of The Register:
The primary voters of South Caro-
lima prefer reasons more tangible
than has yet been adduced by op-
posing candidates and subsidized
sheets assuming to be newspapers,
why Governor Ellerbe should be
dumped to make place for others
who may or may not be brimful OF
an unsel6sh patriotism.
Unproven charges made by enemies
who so much want to be Governor,
like the deceptive boomerang, will
return with merited punishment
upon the heads of those who send
them forth. Were it possible to de-
feat Governor Ellerbe, would his
successor in any way do that which
would be more acceptable and better
for the people! No! Then give
him a second term, not simply in
compliance with the second term
rule, but because be has done his
duty we'll in a firm, conciliatory
Christian spirit. 1t is not strange
that those who so much want to
serve the "dear people" can see so
many notes in the Governors eyes.
No special beer or liquor privileges
should be given to hotels or any one
else, and the Governor is thanked for
his action in this matter and the
voters will stand by him.
There is much to commend in
Governor Ellerbe. He is sober; pays
his debts; without prejudice as Gov
ernor; executes the laws as he finds
them on the statute books, and is
consistent member OF the church.
Less than these units any man for
an Office of any kind. Farmer.
