WHAT FEATHERsT0NE THINKS.
Chances, He Says, Are Good for Hor's
Election.

COLUMBIA, August 81. - Colonel Hoyt's
friends have already begun an active
and vigilant campaign for the second pri-
mary and seem perfectly confident of
landing their man. Headquarters have
been opened in Columbia, with G.. c.
Feathcrstono in charge, and the princi-
pal work will be done at this place. Mr..
Fcatherstono said this evening:
"ro havo gotten such a vote with such
odds against him is a great victory for
Colonel IIoyt and tho cause which he
has 80 ably represented. 1t shows that
tho people believe in the right and they
recognize the ability and purity of Colo
mel Hoyt?"
What about Colonel Hoyt's chances
to win in second primary" was asked.
81 am satisfied that his chances arc
good. Governor McSwceney's lead of a
fcw thousand votes amounts to little.
Nino timos out of ten the man behind
wins in the second heat Take, for cx-
ample, my race with Governor Elorbc
two years ago. IIo led me by $4,000
votes, and yet in the second election he
beat mo by about 1000, and if my friends
had realized my strength / would have
boatcn him badly. If Colonel Hoyts
friends know his strength and will go to
work he will be our next Governor
Gary and Patterson took away good
many votes from Governor McSweeney
on account Of tho charges made against
Governor McSwceney By them, viz: that
the Governor was not enforcing tho dis
pcnsary law. 1t will be remembered
that Gary and Patterson, both of whom
are mon OF unquestionable ability, cour-
age and honesty, charged upon the
stump that the Governors enforcement
of the dispensary law was fraud and
humbug. Senator Tillman madc al
most the same charges. A large proper
ton of tho mon who voted for Gary and
Patterson came from their ranks. Now
that their candidates are out Of the
race, for whom are they going to votcp
They cannot consistently vote for Cover
nor McSweency, and in my judgment
they viii vote for Colonel Hoyt. And
they will do so for the reason that they
and mako it as near prohibition as it can
be made.
"But in addition this a part of the
Gary and Patterson vote ca,no from
their personal friends, not because they
believed in the dispcnsary law, but be-
cause thoy recognized the honesty and
ability of Gary and Patterson. Mr.. Gary
has boon in the General Assembly for ten
or twelve years, and for part of that
time presided over tho House with con
spicuOus fairness and ability. IIo comes
from largo and influential family. His
brothers, who are upon tho bench, are
mon of ability and influence, and thero
is not particle of doubt that part of
his vote was purely personal ono. And
the same can be said of Mr.. Patterson,
whose ability and good public record
cannot be questioned. A part of this
vote know will 90 to Colonel Hoyt, and
believe that by far the greater part of
it will do so. A systematic and orgaizcd
effort will now be made by Colonel
IIoyts friends from this on and thoro is
every reason to bcliovo that Colonel
lIoyt will be our next Governor"

TiLLMAN ON THE ELECTION.
says the pyspensary Has tho Support OF In,
Majority Of tho People.

Senator Tillman has given out the fol-
lowing interview:
Il have always believed that the dis.
pensary had the support OF two-thirds
OF the people Of tie State and the elec-
tion shows that Is about tho proportion.
The vote for Col. Hoyt Is several thou
sand moro than tho anti.disporsary vote.
In other words bis personal popularity
and his being al old Confederate soldier
added materially to tho support he re-
ceived.
Another evidence OF tho strength OF
the dispenssry is In the complexion Of
the next Legislature. OF course the
figures arc not comploto, but have
watched tho county papers pretty closely
and tho members Of tho House OF Repre-
sentativcs who will support the dispen.
sary will bo more than wo-thirtis.n
In regard to his own vote, he says:
II was much gratifed to find that tho
strenuous efforts to array tho religious
people Of tho State against me has sig
nally failed. l have mado a careful
study Of the returns from several coun-
ties, and do not believe that 1000 of
those who scratched me were influenced
by religious sentiment. The people
could not be made to believe that had
wantonly insulted the ministry or that l
was lacking in respect for religion. Tho
scratching camo from my old political
antagonists of 100 and '02, and any one
who will tako the trouble to examine
the returns from any county can easily
verify this. 1t is very gratifying to me
to know that only about half of those
who voted against mo in '92 could be in
duccd TO scratch me this year. 1t shows
that the effort which was made to revive
factionalism siGnally failed, and many
of my friends who voted for prohibition
will, however, resent tho scratching in
the next primary"

"SEE HOW A MAN CAN DIE"
ARegro Murderer's Challenge 10 a Mob thai
Was About TO Hang Him.

Alan G. Jackson, a storekceper on tho
Benncttsvilio plantation, near Cheney
vile, Miss, was assassinated by Thomas
JAmos,a negro, last Thursday night. The
murderer was captucd by mob shortly
before daylight this morning and taken
to tho sceno of his crime and lynched
Two weeks ago Jackson had difficulty
with Amos, and the negro, it is said, had
threatened the merchant several times
since the trouble. Wednesday night
Jackson attended ball at Chcncyvillc
and on his return homo was fired upon
from ambush and instantly killed A
mob was soon organized, and suspicion
pointing to Amos on account of his
threats, started for the black mans homo.
AS soon as the squad was seen approach
ing the house the negro caught up his
gun and attempted to fire into thom.
This he was prevented from doing by his
aged father, who wronchcd tho gun from
his grasp and who turned him over to tho
crowd. The prisoner was then taken
back TO the store, whore ho made con-
fcssion.
After the confession the murderer was
taken to convenient tree, and while pre-
partitions were being made for tho hang
ing bee he exclaimed:
"'ric your rope over a limb and Pll slip
my head in tho moose and climb tho tree
and jump OF, and show you how man
can dio."
lIc also invited tho crowd to shoot into
his body and "see how a man can die"
In less than an hour tho incident was
closed, tho coroner was notified and the
body was left swinging on tho troo.
