Of course Col. Hoyt will fi,e
his pledge with tho Chairman Of

There is nothing inconsistent in

Gratis for the democratic nomins-
tion for Governor, being named
or nominated by them at their
conference, with tho pledge he
will have to file. Here is the
pledge, the words in psrenthesis
bsing inserted by us as the only
words that can be supplied which
will mako its meaning Ineligible
and consistent: "That he (the
candidate) will abide the result of
such primary and support the
nominees thereof, Gin the general
election) and that he is not nor
will he become the candidate of
any faction I'm the general election)
either privately CT publicly sug-
gested, OTHER THAN THE REGULAR
DEMOCRATIC NOMINATION. /" If this
pledge doesn't refer to candidacy
in the general election why should
it terminate with the clause "othsr
than the regular democratic nomi-
nation" The regular democratic
nomination can only be made by
tho democratic primary election
and a man cannot become the regu>
lar democratic nominee until said
election has been held.

Senator McLaurin on Extension

To oppose national expansion is
for the southern people to oppose
further industrial development,
to oppose the opening of new
markets for their suplus products,
and to invite the loss of millions
OF dollars to the producers and
manufacturers of raw staple ma.
terials. Tho south 10 caps ble of
infinite expansion from the fertility
and versatility Of her soil and un-
developed resources and manu-.
featuring industries in the pro.
ductlon of what the entire world
needs. This expansion can only
be hindered or prevented by an
unwise opposition to the policy of
national expansion. The south
has everything to gain an nothing
to lose by favoring it.-LessIie's

done with a large pocket knife,
several ugly wounds being in

to rash action with fatal results.

Col Hoyt Comments on Appelt
Proposal
HE INTENDS TO SIGN THE
PLEDGE.
And be in.at the Start, Juno IA.
Thinks Chances Very Good for
the Prohibitlonists.
Special to The State.

SpoSiSh W 1uo OIhlc-
Gresnville, June 4-Col James
A Hoyt has returned from the re-
union at Louisville, and in . con-
versation with newspaper repor
ter expressed himself as delighted
with the trip to Kentucky, where
he met many friends and scquaint-
ances from this and otherStates. He
was especially gratified at meeting
with some of his former comrades
In Jenkins brigade whom he has
not seen since the war, and who
are now living in Georgia, Missis>
sippi, Texas, Kentucky and other
States. These aud other ex-C Caro-
linisns were frequently among the
throng at the South Carolina
headquarters, which was only q
short distance from tho reunion
hall. Col Hoyt thinks there were
about 400 veterans from this
State, and barring the unlikely
weather they were much pleased
with their reception in Louisville.
He had not read the newspapers
to any great extent during his
absence, and was not informed as
to the discussion in tho State execu-
tive committee last week until
after reaching homo. He WAS
asked to give his vieus upon the
action of the executive committee,
and to state what he proposed to
do in regard to tho pledge exacted
of candidates for nomination in
the primary. His reply was as
follows:
81 am not at'sll surprised at the
action of tho State executive com
and had predicted that
this would be the outcome if any
proposition was made to rule the
prohibitionlsts out of tho primary.
Nor am surprised at the propo-
sition coming from Mr.. Applet,
for ne mas been very pronounced
on that line, and has stoutly con-
tended for his version of the con-
stitution in the Manning Times,
Of which no is the editor. Mr..
Applet has assumed the very queer
position OF undertaking to regulate
other mons consciences or 1T least
to determine what would be their
view of matters un-
der certain conditions. In this
matter he has gone too far, as be
know and has no right to
know what the conscience of an
other may dictate, a. conscience is
not a matter of opinion, but of
action, and is governed by the
judgment or decision of each
man for himself.
"Mr. Applet is quoted as saying
that no man nominated by a fac
tlonal convention could take tho
pledge conscientiously. # his in
depreciation Of the vague and in
definite clause is correct, there
might be some foundation for his
conclusion but ! have heretofore
held that this Interpretation was
wrong and inconclusive. What
ever the author of this clause in
tended, be did not succeed in ex-
pressing himself 70 clearly that It
was not susceptible of different
constructions, and hence it was to
bo construed as relating to the
election and not the pri-
mary. Under this view | would
have no hesitation in signing the
pledge, nor did Mr. Brunson hesl-
tate two years ago. have been
requested by an assembly of
friends and co.wcrkers in a great
cause to become their Standard
bearer in this campaign, and at
