Walterboro, S. C.-Following his
nomination in the Democratic pri-
mary in September last, Capt. D. @.
Heyward, who was chosen at that
time as the nominee OF the party
gave expression to the opinion that
lnasmuch as he had not been for
mally elected Governor, being only
Tia candidate of the party, he felt
that il was premature FOR him to give
any definite expression as to his pur-
poses or plans and shat he felt that
Il was more within the bounds of
propriesy for him to await the elec-
tion IL November 4 before giving his
attention to those matters which
come within the sphere of the Gov
srnor.
This eoufss on the part of the
Democratic nominee was entirely
proper and his determination to ab-
stain from any public announcement
of an Official character or to take up
the consideration of those matters
which pertain to his office was sppre-
ciatsd and endorsed by the public.
Although it is generally recognized
that the nomination in the Decem-
Der primary in South Carolina is
tantamount to an election and has
almost come TO be so regarded by
onr people, nevertheless such is not
actually the case and the indelicscy
Of q candidate of one Of the politi-
cal parties planning his course OF
seton and giving public utterance as
70 his purposes before he was actu:
ally elected viii readily be seen and
the wisdom of Che course pursued by
Capt Hayward appreciated.
The election Of last week, at which
time the unanimous vote Of the State
sss cast for him, however, removed,
these restrictions of propriety and
inasnHch as he is now legally the
Governor elect requiring only the
oath OF Office as necessary to make
him in tsnth the Governor OF the
Stateiift Is natural and proper for
him to be giving his thoughts and
attention to the manifold duties
which confront him snd to be plan
ming 10 put into execution those idess
sud parposes which he trusts will
materially advance the interest OF the
State in every braneh-agricnltu-
rally, mechanically, educationally,
morally and industrislly. In the
hope OF giving TO the readers of the
gening Post some suggestions as to
st the Governor elect purposes
Ia Your correspondent called
bn him at his comfortable home
Walterboro and solicited from him
some information along the lines in
dicated above. Gov, Hayward con-
idingly informed your representa-
tive that tine returns of the evening
oe November 4 were not as anxiously
secured as were those OF August 10Th
Or September 9th and, strange as. it
might seem, he was not in the least
nervous as to the result. He felt
grasefu., however, for the way ms
trends had turned out and cast their
bsllots FOR him. even if it was merely
prefunctory matter. =
