~ Waltcrboro correspondent Of The
State has interviewed Capt. Hayward,
who was asked if he would outline TO
some extent his views upon the polit.
cal issues which will likely enter into
the next campaign for State Offices.
lie replied that at thi, Tune he knew
OF no question upon which public at
tcntlon would centre chiefly durtne the
next State campaign that in his opin.
ion the people of the State were closer
together than they had been for wears.
Old wounds had healed and the day
had come when the people of South
Carolina were doing their own think
ing, aud were realizing the fact more
fully than they mad ever done before
that those questions which tended TO
inllamc the passions of the people, and
thereby retard all industrial develop
ncnt, should be rc!Ggated to the rear.
and in their stead should be brought to
The front such subjects, the discussion
OF which III Il cam, dignilicd and intelli.
gent manner, would result in the mate
rial welfare and prosperity of all the
people of the STATE.
When asked to he little more spc-
cilic as TO the nature OF these questions.
Capt. Hayward replied that the cduca-
uonal system of the State was far from
complete. That there was no sub icct
OF greater moment TO the people of
this State than the education of her
youth, and that we ought to exert all
our energy to the building up and per-
fccting of such an educational system
rs would furnish our boys and urls
with an opportunity to fit themselves
for the duties and responsibilities of
life.
Continuing, he said that the sub jcct
of immigration was one which should
be given attention by those who have
the best interests Of the State at heart.
That Immigration should be officially
and Systematically encouraged. In this
connection, he inStanccd Southwestern
Louisiana and Southern Texas, now
the most prosperous agricultural por-
lions of the South, built up to a very
great extent by an influx of Western
farmers, induced to leave their MOI tuav-
ed farms in search of cheap and pro-
ducliyc lands and more congpnial eli
mate. " hat has been done in Louis
lana and Texas, he claimed could be
done in South Carolina if the effort
was made. Good roads which were
doing SO much for North Carolina, and
the drainage of our swamDs and the
abandoned land, constitut ug as they
do more than one fifth OF the acreage
of the State, should be vigorously look
ed after. Capital should be encouraged
to come into the State and should be
made TO feel that it was welcome and
would be safrguardcd by every protec,
ton which the law threw around il.
How about the dispcnsary ?" he
was asked.
That consider" he replied, ga
settled question and one which should
not figure in the coming campaign to
the exclusion of other important sub
jccls. 1t has been passed upon again
