getting such notifications from time
TO time as conditions will demand.
General Butler is an uncompromis-
ing opponent of the dispensary law,
as all of his utterances indicate,
and recently he gave to the press a
letter which will drive away from bin
advocates OF the law, matters not how
high they regard him personally. We
do not believe any man in the State
can be elected upon an anti-dispensa-
ry platform. In the last election the
prohibitionists showed their strength
in the first primary, and the auti-dis-
peusaryites and prohibitionists COM
bined, showed theirs in the second
primary, this too, with the aid OF
many er emies Governor Eilerbe had
made by his various appointments,
many OF these enemies voted for the
prohibition candidate in the second
primary, at the same time they are
ardent dispensaryites.
1t is our opinion, that these rumors
about General Butler, purportlnG to
emiuate from reliable sources, are
mere clap-trap, the thoughts OF some
politician whose hat is crownless.
Tillman will he candidate TO sue
ceed bimself, and there IS no man IN
politics IN this State WHO knows bet
ter than Tillman that he has not time
to be gathering broods under his
wings. and if there are any chickens
out in the weather needing political
shelter they must seek elsewhere.
Tillmau is strong with tue masses for
Tillman, but his strength fails him
whenever he undertakes TO help
others, as was proven in the cam-
paigo between john Gary Evans and
Joseph H. Earle.
Tillman will stand for reelection
next year, and the dispeusary ques-
ton will be revived he certainly
would not attempt TO encourage a
candidate from his own county, and
one who wo2ld be bound
to fight vigorously one Of the sena-
ator's pet measures. Imagine Till
man encouraging the election of But
Ter for Governor, 50 as 20 get him III
position to fight McLaunu two years
later, and Butler making his fight
againt the dispeusary, charging OF
that Iillman and Evans
ale guilty OF corruption. In Buffers
campaign against Tillman he under
took to make such charges, and
should he be candidate row, lie
would have to stand by his former
OF acknowledge them to be
false.
No; TilIman has not lua !e 4 COM
bine With Butter to defeat McLaurin,
nor is he encouraging Butler to be a

cal sensationalist will have T. find

The political sensationalists are at
work endeayoring to start the poll
clans of. The first thing sprung was
an alleged combination between Sen
ator Tillman and General Butler, in
the nature OF a conspiracy to defeat
Senator McLaurin in 1903, and for
the part Butler is to playiu the game,
Tillman is to lend lis influence to
Butler That silly story went the
rounds Of the press, and before the
readers finished expressing their
opinions, a bran new one is sprung
which puts General Butler in the
field as candidate for Governor.
There is no doubt about it, Gen NJ.
G. Butler would make tiue governor
He has had more experience than
any other man now living in the State
in public affairs, and we believe We're
he to offer himself to the people for
the position he would make race
that would keep other candidates
awake at nights But we have no
idea the General has q thought Of re-
entering State politics He made a
race against Tillman and was de-
feated, and since then, he has been in
the government service, occupying a
position much nearer to his heart, and
better suited to his disposition than
any civil position would be. Besides,
were be to conclude to round of his
public career with the subernatoriaI
position, his personal popularity, to-
gether with his long public service,
in our opinion, would not overcome
his opposition to the dispensary law.
The people have differences Of opin-
ion as to the way the dispensary
should be managed; there are
large number who favor the dispen-
sary Iaw, and want to see such legis-
lation as will put down opposition;
this, they believe, can be accomplished
by permitting the various counties
to vote on the question, and, By
the consent Of the people, have the
liquor traffic regulated at the same
time, rather than see the dispensary
law destroyed they would stand by
the law as it exists, aud depend upon

State advantage.

There are some newspapers trying
10 throw cold water on the Reunion
by creating the impression that the
people of the city are going to resort
10 extortior. There is not word OF
truth in the thought; rates have been
published and they are very reason
able, and besides that, the good peo-
pie OF the city are making every effort
to provide for thousands without any
charge whatever Of course, those
who are 10 be entertained without
charge, are such as cannot afford to
pay hotel bills We are sorry TO see
this attempt to tLwart the efforts OF
those in charge of the reunion, and
it is our belief that Charleston not
ouly has her full heart in the work,
but that it is her determination to
make this, the ninth reunion, the
grandest ever held. No one need
fear of being imposed upon in Char
lesion, rates on the railroads, at the
hotel and boarding houses are as low
as any reasonable being can expect,
and II any attempt at extortion is
discovered, and it is reported TO the
committee, the matter will be stopped
instanter Let everybody so TO the
reunion, for it is as much the duty OF
the entire State to help entertain the
visitors from other states as it is for
Charleston. Do not lex anybody be
frightened away by the foolish cry of
extortion from certain newspapers
that are antagouistic to Charleston.
