publicly announced to rely upon the
recommendation of the several coun
ty delegations in making county
appointments, violating this rule only
for good and sufficient reasons.
Should I find that the recommends
tion of any delegation is such that it
is clear that they are not acting for
the best interest OF the community
but are using the trust reposed in
them for selfish purposes or to sd'
| vance their own interest at the sscri-
| flee of their communities welfare, I
! will not feel bound to accept their
| recommendations then or hereafter
my sole object being to give to each
community the officials and appoint
| ments most desired by them and best
| calculated to accord them the most
| acceptable service, and I believe as
general rule, the will of the people
can best be attained through this me-
dunn than by attempting direct aP-
pointments on knowledge which may
be given to me by the means of peti
tions and otherwise"
The, bettering, OF the common
school facilities is q matter which is
giving the Governor-elect some con
sideration and he is endeavoring to
devise means by which the opportn-
mites of placing iair education.
within the reach Of every hamlet may
be facilitated and affected. -
Reared in the country and fanai-
liar as he is with plantation life,
Capt Hayward is thoroughly con-
versant with the need OF improved
educational facilities, and while an
advocate Of higher education, he re-
a.izes that there are able exponents
in and out of the Senate and Legs-
lature who will look after the inter
est OF colleges and universities, so he
will devote himself for the present
to fostering and aiding the schools
in the rural districts.
TIE DIsPENsERY Law.
The enforcement Of the dispensary
law has been the subject Of much
consideration by the Go7ernor,eleet,
and he is hopeful that under his ad-
miaistration much OF the friction
which has existed in the past may be
obliterated. The law is on the stat
ute book and Is per cent Of the peo-
pie Of the State are advocates OF it,
and as law abiding citizens those op-
posed to it should abide by the law
and support it. He is not unmind-
full of the hardships which confront
him in the discharge Of his duty in
regard to this law in certain locali-
ties, and he can only depend on the:
public spirit Of the people to sustain
him in his efforts not to have the law
wantonly violated.
He believes that the wishes Of
community should be recognized, but
he has not power TO, exempt any com
munity or section of the State from
the operation of the law, and under
his oath of Office he will have to carry
out the law without favor to all parts
and portions of the State He does
not expect to be able to absolutely
prohibit the illicit selling of liquors
-in the larger cities it will be al
most impossible to do so-but he is
determined that there shall be re-
spect shown to the law and that
gross aud fragrant violations shall be
unknown, and if the law Is violated
| it will be done in so surreptisious a
| manner as to elude the vigilance OF
the city police and State constables,
and can not, therefore, be offensive
to the God-fearing and law-abiding
people of our State and being q me-
mace to the growing youth Of our
cities, who, by seeing laws openly
violated, simply because they are
distasteful, will soon learn to hold
our whole sy stem of government in
contempt.
He did not anticipate serious
trouble along that line, as the law is
not now as Objectionable as it had
been, and there is stronger feeling
