I believe that even a fairer and bet
ter enforcement Of the dispensary law,
which can be done without harshness
or discord, will be beneficial.
It is not fair to law-abiding counties,
that the law should be enforced in them
and evaded in others. AS citizen Of
law-abiding county, feel 1t an in
justice that a law be administered in
my section and disregarded in another
and so do you. The state Is one and
its laws should prevail everywhere.
My election would mean the judicious
enforcement Of existing laws with
charity to all, favor to none.
This liquor question is the supreme
issue. It's decision will affect our state
for generations, and your judgment
will declare for or against equal rights
before the law, for or against protec-
ton Of our homes and our people. Your
vote must be regarded as supporting
or protesting against partial admins
tration and for the evils consequent
upon that. Your vote against me will
set back the cause Of temperance for
years and will throw away much hard
ly earned advancement in sobriety and
prosperity.
There are among you 19,499 voters
who have recorded their disapproval Of
the present administration Of the dis
pensary law. believe have the priv
ilege Of soliciting specially your sup
port. You have shown that you do not
|approve unequal administration Of our
law. May not ask you to trust me to
do what you desire? Until the legisla-
ture changes the statute, the dispensary
law must stand. Do you not wish it
rightly and judiciously enforced? If
you do, your chance is with my sup
porters.
I am grateful to point you to the ex-
|cellent opportunity Of winning this
contest. Two years ago the admins
tration received 30,101 votes and the
representative Of prohibition 1882 and
local optionists and other dispensary
advocates votes amounting to 30,510.
In the second primary the administra-
ton gained, with new supporters, only
1852 votes, while the prohibition repre-
sentative gained 1889. In the primary
Of 1900 the administration, with pecu-.
liar help and the Charleston vote, re-
ceived 30,097 votes; the representative
of prohibition 1888, and the others for
local option and dispensary 1s,499. If
we do half as we'll as two years ago,
we shall win. All that Is needed Is for
prohibitionists to stand steadily to
their convictions, work earnestly with
friends, and our great cause will be
endorsed. JAMES A. HOYT.

| it's promise of plenty, came relief, and
the great patient is now in the period
of convalescence. She needs still the
closest attention of a doctor called
Money" and Of nurse called Sym
pathy." America has been both nurse
and doctor, has given both money and
sympathy.
England has done the most for the
distressed, Of course, as by right she
should; for India Is her own, her
greatest possession. Germany has
helped a bit, and so has Russia and
Holland and even Turkey; but next to
England, the most money, the most
help, has come from the land of Stars
and Stripes. The American people
have given of their substance over a
million; the Presbyterian board, $4,000;
the Boston committee twice as much
more; the Committee Of One Hundred,
over $2OO,0O0, and The Christian Her
aid, of New York, more than the
amount contributed by all Of these add
ed together. Now the Red Cross socie-
ty invites subscriptions to still another
fund, rather belated at the last mo-
ment, when a crop is promised within
three months; but, showing, first, that
India still needs help and, second, that
there is still confidence in the generos-
! ity Of Americans to give, give, give, de-
/ spite all that we have already given.
1t cannot be repeated too often that
the famine waning does not mean the
| famine ended. Seven million people
will for half a year to come, need the
help of civilization. II such help should
fail them even now, they would die;
because a normal condition after so
violent a shock is not quickly restored.
More important than any other phase
| of the aftermath Of the famine, is the
spectacle presented by the hundreds of
thousands of little children left with
out a relation Of any kind to look
after them. 1t is the experience Of all
students of famine that more children
than adults, proportionately, survive
the period of woeful scarcity. Hence
the great multitudes of orphans now
wholly helpless in India is accounted
for. Hence the efforts Of relief work.
ers are now centered upon the children
who are the hope of the country.
What stuff would the next genera
ton be made of if these children were
not cared for? What mental, physi-
cal and moral deterioration would be
visible in the people of India, If the

WILL ENFORCE THE LAW.
Colonel Hoyt Issues an Important Address to
the People.

FELLOW CITIZENS: At the request of
citizens whose wish felt bound to re-
spect, I came before you as candidate
for governor Of South Carolina, repre-
senting the great moral issue involved
in the campaign. My work in the can
vass is known to you. My record as a
citizen, in war and peace, is before you.
With an eye single to the welfare of
our state have lived in the past years
and have labored in the primary.
By the fattering vote given me-for
which I tender sincere thanks-it be-
comes my duty again to solicit your
suffrage. AS I know my own heart,
while appreciating fully the honor Of
the office at issue, I am concerned
above all for the cause I represent, for
the welfare of South Carolina.
1 am profoundly convinced that pro-
hibition will be a great preventive Of
harm to individuals, to homes, to state

tronlzing q Tiger.
To the Prohibition Democrats Of South
Carolina:
Ny customers in the state usually
come north in August and September
to make their purchases for the fall
and winter trade, and this has made
It necessary for me to be in the house
here for the past 80 days, where have
been busy and may have to remain
here until after the second primary.
I am deeply interested in the success
of Colonel Hoyt and write to urge ev-
cry personal and political friend Of
mine to do everything in his power to
secure his nomination. The question Is,
whether the whisky men who now con-
troll the politics Of the state through
the dispensary and blind tigers shall
continue in power, or whether the sober,
intelligent, religious element shall man
age the important affairs Of state. The
result Of the first primary shows that
Governor McSweeney was supported by
that faction Of the dispensary who de-
sire to see it run without regard to law
and be used to debauch the politics OF
the state. It also shows that he was
supported by the men who run the
blind tigers and by the blind tiger Or
gan, The News and Courier.
Hon. F. B. Gary, who was willing
for the people to decide whether they
should have dispensary or prohibition
and pledged himself to enforce the law,
If elected, and Hon. A. H. Patterson,
who made his canvass pledge upon the
rigid enforcement Of the law II elected,
received very little support from the
dispensary machine, and If they were
really sincere in their promises to the
people, and I believe they were, they
will do themselves great credit by ask
ing their friends to vote in the coming
primary for the nomination Of Colonel
Jas. A. Hoyt. They know that there
will be no improvement If the governor
is elected, and that Colonel Hoyt will
enforce all the laws on the statute
books.
I saw Governor McSweeney at the
campaign meeting in Charleston drink
ing in what was pointed out to me as
blind tiger Gin Hibernian halD while
the meeting was going on, and when
he saw me passing he lodged to keep
me from seeing him. I said then and
there that I could not vote for him in
future for any office, and I was much
surprised to see the governor Of the
state guilty Of such conduct.
No one has requested or suggested
that I write this letter, but the love
have for my party and my state, has
Influenced me to do so. There Is no
factional feeling or prejudice in 1t. On
the contrary, men Of both factions in
state and county, would have received
my vote had I been in the state, and
were I there to vote at the coming
election I would vote for Hoyt and
Winkler in the second race. Faction is
a thing Of the past, but good men and
better politics is what we must have or
every interest in South Carolina will
suffer. A. c. JONES.

ENDLESS CHAIN OF PRAYER.
Plan Of the W. C. 7. U. Women Of indiana
to Defeat Mckinley.

Indianapolis Dispatch, Aug. %.
The executive officers Of the Indiana
Wemen's Christian Temperance union
have adopted a novel plan for cam
paigning against President Mckinley,
their opposition to him being based on
his alleged approval of the army can
teen" system. The plan is unique In
American politics, and Is called the
presidential Prayer Chain Pledges"
The plan is to start an endless chain
of prayers by having the women ad-
dressed make prayer herself and send
the pledge to two Of her women friends,
each Of whom will pray and send SINH
lar letters to two Of her friends. The
praying is to continue until election
day. If the plan succeeds, half the
women in the United States will be
praying for McKinleys defeat by elec-
ton time. Following Is copy Of the
printed prayer chain pledge:
"First-I pledge myself that will,
until election day, make 1t g special
subject of prayer of my Heavenly
Father that he will give to the United
States better man for president for
the next four years, one who will be a
total abstainer himself, and who will
do what he can to overthrow the liquor
traffic.
"Second-I Furthermore pledge myself
to make at least two copies Of this let
ter and mail one to some sister in the
state in which reside, and the other
copy to some sister in some other
state"
On the bottom margin Of the pledge
is the Biblical citation: St. Matthew
xviii, 10: Again say unto you. that
if two Of you shall agree on earth as
touching anything that they shall ask,
it shall be done for them Of my Father
which is in heaven"

Gradually the speed increased. There
were no stops for passengers to be

showing only one or two dim lights.
The conductor went through the cars

At this instant a man, all dusty and

figures appeared as if by magic from
the desert shadows at the side Of the
track. Dallon himself leaped noiseless-
" on the platform Of the private car and
with one stroke of his keen knife sew
cred the bellrope, deftly knotting the
two ends to prevent their sagging in
either car. In an instant the air coup
lings were disconnected, so that the
Miranda was held to the rest Of the
train by the coupling pin only. Two Of
the gang then ran to the rear platform
Of the Pullman, two more slowed
themselves away on the rear steps Of
the Miranda, while Dallon and the rest
remained on the front platform, guns
In hand, ready to menace any one who
might appear from the cars ahead.
But the stop was such slight one and
the station such an Insignificant affair
that no one troubled to get out. Two
short blasts Of the whistle, and the ex-
press was in motion again. Scarcely
had the lights Of the station faded
from sight when Dallon yanked the
chain of the coupling pin, and the en-
gine and cars shot into the blackness
away from the Miranda and her escort.
