ing for . statement about the El-
ler5e-Gonzales deal. In reply he
sent the following message:
"l bog leave to say: The pri-
mary system requires that those
seeking Office should 20 before the
people and discuss tho issues of
the day, the object being that the
People should see and hear the
candidates, listen to the discussion
OF the various questions and then
retire and make up their verdict.
"Ihc people have . right to ex-
pect that the candidates should
express their true convictions up-
on the stump; that they should
be dealt with honestly, openly and
above board. One of the great
arguments advanced IN favor of
the primary system was that under
It tho deals of politicians would he
shut of and the schsning politi-
clans would bs relsgatsd to the
rear; that the candidates would be
voted for on account of the views
uhick they entertained upon tho
public questions Of the day and
not because Of their personal pop
ularity or their scheming ability.
Believing such to be the case
the prohibitionists, like the true
and loyal Democrats that they are.
willing to trust the great masses
OF the people and believing that
fair treatment and open dealing
would be accorded to them, put
forward their candidate. That
such candidate accorded to othsrs
the same treatment that he ex>
pected, no man in South Carolina
will deny; that he went over the
State and fought as hard as he
knew how upon the prohibition
platform, hewing to the line lot

will also not be questioned. That
Gov. Ellerbe, Col. Watson, Mr..
Archer and Mr.. Whitman espoused
the cause of the dispenssry that
Col. Tillman and Col. Schumpert
fought for local option, and that
the writer fought for prohibition,
the record shows. The record
also shows that when the fight
narrowed down between Gov. Eli
lerbe and the prohibition candi>
date, Gov. ElIerbc was, as his
friends thought still standing bv
the guns he had used during the
campaign honestly advocating the
dispensary. 1t will also be remem>
bered that when the prohibition
candidate was defeated he called
upon his friends in the State to
rally to the support Of the incom>
ing administration because he had
made the fight upon principle, he
had fought openly aud honestly,
and he thought tho verdict Of the
people meant that they preferred
the dispsnsary to prohibition.
"Now 1t is charged that bet wesn
the first and second primsries a
deal was made between the sup>
posed champion of the dispens.ry
and the leading advocate of local

feat of the prohibition candidate,

CAUSE OF M'cAwLEY's DEATH.
Had a Blood Clot on the Brain and
Dislocated Spinal Column.

Coroner ]. j. Roberts went to Throop
yesterday and made a post-mOrtem
examination of the remains of James
McCawley, aged 40 years, who was
found dead on the public highway in
Troop early Thursday morning. The
doctor found an abrasion of the skin
on the top of the head and a blood
clot on the brain. There was also n
dislocation of the spinal column.
Either of these would have been
sufficient to cause death.
An examination of the internal or
gans Of the man showed that he had
been in poor health for some time and
that he had INDUCED freely in intox-
iCants.
There is a possibility that McCaw ley
may have been murdered, but the
more likely theory is that he sustained
his injuries from a fall while on his
way home from the hotel where he
had been until IL o'clock p. m. on
Wednesday night.
The coroner will make a thorough
investigation and endeavor to get the
truth of the matter.
