The people were oppressed and
plundcred until they were in despair
The early English Governors OF
India were not moro greedy and un-
scrupulous than this son of the Pal
mctto State who used his authority
to plundcr and bcggar his neighbors
But it is long lane that has nc
turning.
Such a state of affairs could not
last forever. There were thousands
of honest Republicans in South Caro-
lima, and they aided the Democrats
in reforming the government, and
barring out Moses and his crowd.
Out of Office, deserted by his hang
crs-on, and conscious of the fact that
he was man without a friend, and
without future, the outcast Cover

lie had been too cXtravagant and
thoughtless to save any money, and
after borrowing here and there, and
stealing his wife's dresses to pawn
for few dollars, he became a petty
swindlcr, and since then has steadily
followed the downward road which
has landed him in more than one
prison.
1t is one of the saddcst stories OF
the wreck and ruin of a rilliant man
that was ever told.
| believe that it is the only case of
the kind in the history of our repub-
lic No American Governor, before
or since this degenerate, was ever
sent TO prison for larceny or for
swindling.
Many good South Carolinians have
predicted for years that their ex-
Governor would end his days in
prison, and they have probably made
no mistake.
While it is true that the law should
be no rcspcctcr of persons, | have
never been able to recover from my
shock when heard that this former
Governor of one of the proudcst of
the Old Thirteen States had been
forced to wear convict stripes and
work side by side with common
fclons.
What has become of Mrs. Moses
| have asked this question many
times, but it has never been answered
Evidently, there is no hope for
Moses. He is not willing to be
saved.

Orange growers in Florida now
cover their trees with tents so ar
ranged as to admit the sunlight on
one side and keep out frosty winds
on the other. In each tent is an oil
lamp, which is lighted on cold nights
to keep the trees warm. The grow
crs are warned of the approach of
unfavorable weather in an unique
way. AS the mails travel slowly in
some of the thinly populated dis
trlcts, the Government requires the
engineers of express trains to blow
their whistles six times in every
three miles when "cold wave" is

Charleston to Get the Naval Station.

Before the Rogers Board, detailed
to investigate the proposed transfer
of the naval station from Port Royal
to Charleston, makes its final repor,
a further survey of the coast, both n,
Charleston and Port Royal, will have
to be made. This information was
obtained at the navy department.
says a Washington dispatch, las,
Tuesday from Rear Admiral Endi.
colt, chief Of the bureau of yards
and docks.
Continuing, the dispatch says
Secretary Long stated also that he
is anxious to have the board submit
its report without delay, and he has
addressed Il note to Rear Admiral
Rogers, president of the board, to
that effect. 1t is practically deter
mined, as has been previously stated
in these dispatches, that a majority
of the board favor the transfer OF
the station from Port Royal to Char
lesion and when the final report is
framed it will contain a rccommen-
dation to that effect. Technically
no conclusion has been finally reach
ed, owing to a desire on the part of
the board to obtain further informa-
ton concerning the coast near Char
lesion, and also at Port Royal, which
is to form a part of the report. The
additional survey is to be done by
the coast survey experts, and it is
understood that they can hardly
complete the work before the latter
part of November, and the proba-
blity is that the report of the board
may not be placed in the hands of
the Secretary of the Navy before the
lst OF Dcccmbcr. At least that is
the best judgment of Rear Admiral
Endicott. Some Of the naval officers
who have investigated the subject
say they cannot understand Why
Port Royal was originally selected
as site for naval station. They
admit that it has an abundance OF
water, but they declare that it is in
dcfcnsibIe in time of war and was SO
proven during the war of the rebel
lion. Gen. Beaurcgard, who was
probably the best engineer in the
Southern army, pronounced it an
undesirable place for such a station.
On the other hand naval officers re-
gard Charleston as thoroughly de-
fcnsblc, and they point to the lat
tcr's record during the war between
the States The report, it is under
stood, will bring out strongly and
conclusivcly all the good and bad
points Of both places, and it is be-
licvcd that Charlcston's advantages
outweigh Port Royals several fold.
Borings are about to begin by the
naval authorities on the points under
consideration for the new naval sta-
ton at Charleston, says another dis
patch. All of the sites under con.
sldcration are located near the city
park and adjacent to the river. One
of them is known as "I'hc Point"
There is said to be ample ',r,h Of
water Tor station at any one of the
points being considered.
