ed through Charleston today, en-
route to Columbia, leaving here
this afternoon for the capital.
Capt. Hayward stated that he
could not but be intensely grati6ed
at the handsome vote accorded
him, and while he felt highl, COM
pllmented. he accepted it as an
evidence that the great mass of
voters in South Carolina approved
OF his efforts to conducts his cam
paign on high principles, aud
that they were in accord with his
platform ts administer the laws
of the State fairly and impartial
ly and to be governor of the en-
tire State without regard to fac
tional or sectional differences.
81 certainly appreciate the
vote given me by the good peo
pie of Charleston" he said. 81
cannot possibly thank them in
person, but / felt so assured of
their kind consideration that be,
fore the recent primary l devoted
my time elsewhere, feeling assur-
ed that Charleston would stand by
me as she has SO Loyalty done. L
hope to be back here in a few
days and meet as many of nv
Charleston supporters as possible.
Another gratifying feature of the
recent vote was the very liberal
support given me by the mill dis
tricts. l have always been, q
friend to the laborlng men. as
evidenced by the unanimous vote
given me by every laborlng man
who lives in my pejghborhood,
but l have not been in public life
before and had no way heretofore.
to prove it and therefore cannot
but feel that the loyal way in
which the mill districts stuck by
me is a tribute we'll worth cher
ishing, and should l become gcv-
ernor will endeavor to prove to
those worthy citizens of our State
that they have net reposed their
trust in me unwisely."
"What do you think of your
chances in the second prlmarya"
was querieds sby the reporter.
"They could scarcely be better
and not be a certainty" replied
Capt. Hayward. 81 believe
practically every vote given me
in the first primary will be accord
ed me in the second race. In my
case you see the support was the
spontaneous expression Of people
to one whom they trusted. 1t
was, / take it, a vote of love af-
fectlon and respect and they will
be just as ready to give it to mo
in the second race as they we're in
the first. l have every reason to
count on the support of the friends
of the defeated candidates. In
the campaign I treated every one
of my opponents fairly and gave
them every possible considera,loR

norman, Col. Tillman, Col. Tai

[ count as friendly to me and in
the second race l count on leceiv-
ing the bulk Of the votes Of each
defeated candidate.
''The total vote, you see, re-
corded up to date, is about SO,-
900, and using that simply as a
basis, 10000 odd votes will be
required to elect. My vote is al
ready about $4,000 80 l merely

$4,000 given to my opponents to

Master Of His Own Feet.
Chicago Chronicle.


Little things sometimes indicate a mans
greatness-or, at any rate, his characteristics.
IF you wish TO know why Senator Hanna
Is a success watch his feet" said astute
Republican politician who has learned 20 study
men from many standpoints. Just why the
feet should be the index TO the man perhaps Is
not apparent at once he continued, but here
Is what you will see II you viii take the
trouble TO watch Senator Hanna's feet
He will be standing during an evening in
the best hotel in the city In which he happens
70 be stopping. He will never be given an
opportunity for idleness. A gentleman and
lady will step w and introduce friend, 9TH
efs will follow, and for half an hour OF
longer the genial Ohio senator will stand shak-
ing hands with q procession of people,
changing pleasantries with old friends and max
ing new acGuaintanccs. During this time the
pedal extremities of the buckeye statesman
and these extremities are in themselves
cause OF admiration because OF their shape
illness and neatness of dress-will never move
from where they have been planted not so
much as q hairs breadth.
Now think what this means. 1t means
that Senator Hanna has learned one OF the
most difficult feats Of self-control. He wastes
not the slightest particle Of energy IN move
ments that are unnecessary. II he has mas
tered this art with reference to the members Of
hts BODY he has also mastered II with refer
ence TO his mind. This means that his mind
rests exactly on an even keel, so to speak;
that II grasps without the slightest confusion
from surroundings the real object in hand,
whether that subject be a legislative PROPOSE
ton or a political problem infused with the
influence of personality.
''senator Hanna's feet show that Senator
Hanna has perfect mastery Of himself.

SAM JONES is AFTER
REV. SAM w. SMALL

Rev. Sam p. Jones was here Tuesday
for the first time In ten weeks, having
been on his tour OF chautauquas through
out the country. He says wherever he
goes he stands fiat-footed and fights whis-
key: that preacher who does not fight
whiskey Is the devils own billy goat to
butt people In the wrong direction. he
said:
This morning ] received a letter from
Vermont asking me something about the
record of my old friend. Sam Small, say
ing that Sam was doing the temperance
cause much harm In that state, speaking
I'm the interest OF the no license local OPP
ton candidate, which, by the way, is the
same old gang Sam was speaking for in
Georgia a few weeks ago under a New
England name. He wanted me to write
him something TO cOunteract the harm
Sam was doing the temperance cause.
II did not answer the letter, but the
latest news from Vermont tells US that
sam downed himself. Poor Sam! He is
good hearted fellow, strong in a thou
sand things and weak in but few, with
a THOUSAND virtues TO a single fault; but
II Sam had come TO me for advice i would
have told him that the advocacy Of any
thing that opposes the prohibition Of the
liquor traffic was too slippery ground for
him to stand on. Sam needs gravel under
his feet and sand on his shoes and when
ever any man with weaknesses in that
direction goes to monkeying the monkey
will soon be laid up for repairs. With all
his faults love him still and advise him
20 come back clean over on the side of
prohibition, the side he stood on for 16
years and never fell a single time. He
NAV now stand there and fall no more for
ever"

sage says:
During the last days of June the SUI
preme court of the state handed down
several decisions which practically de-
prive our municipal corporations of all
government. The question is not what we
think would be model municipal gov
eminent but what we can get, consider
ing the constitutional limitations and all
the circumstances surrounding u.s."
The governor advises the Legislature to
ignore requests for, a constitutional con-
vention.
He then submits his ideas of the neces-
sity of the situation in the FORM of mu-
nicipal code bill, the enactment of which
he recommends. Concluding the governor
says:

refer the school laws to the state COM
missioner of common schools and the at
torney general the laws relating TO the
compensation of county officers to the
auditor of the state, secretary of state and
the attorney general; the laws relating to
registration and elections TO the secretary

boards of equalization to the auditor Of

rectify said laws, remove therefrom all
imperfcctions and have their work ready

gality Of the will.

Hon. ]. c. c. Black represented Mrs.
Hicks. and Messrs. ]. r. Lamar, Henry

nual income from this one-third Is esti-
mated to amount to something over w.
600 The other legatees are the brother,
sister. nebhews and nieces Of the tesla
tor. Mrs Hicks seeks to have the will
set aside on the grounds that her nus
band when the viii was drawn, was
mentally incapaeitated from properly dis
posing of his property, having been on
protracted drunk. and that he had been
prejudiced against her by false stories
to the effect that she had employed man
to assassinate him.
The will had been drawn by Mr.. w. Z.
Keener, and was attested by himself and
Messrs. w. J. Steel and G. L. Bailey, and
their testimony was that the will had
been drawn several weeks before 1t was
signed. and that the testator was COM
petent to draw the will. it being his ex-
pressed intention that none of his wife's
relatives should inherit any of his prop
erty.
The contestants attorneys at once filed
an appeal from the ordinary's decision
and the case will he tried In the superior
court at it's Oct. term. 1t will go to the SUI
preme court before final settlement Is
reached. as both sides are determined to
carry it to the court of last resort before
giving up the fight.
