Office to which they aspire. 1t will
be my purpose as I have already
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 fiud 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 ad
vance their own interest at the sacri.
fee 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 a
general rule, the will of the people
an best be attained through this me-
dium 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 matter which is
giving the Governor. elect some con
sideration and he is endeavoring to
devise means by which the opportu-
mites OF placing a fair education
within the reach of every hamlet may
be facilitated and affected.
Reared in the country and fami.
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 e1ponents
in and out of the Senate and Legis.
lature who will look after the inter-
est of colleges and universities, 80 he
will devote himself for the present
to fostering and aiding the schools
in the rural districts.
THB D1spENsARY LAW.
The enforcement of the dispensary
law has been the subject of much
consideration by the Governor. elect,
and he is hopeful that under his ad-
ministration much Of the friction
which has exi"'" che past may be
obliterated > is on the stat
ute book cent OF the peo-
pie Of tho State 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 a
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 a re-
speot shown to the law and that
gross and fragrant violations shall be
unknown, and If the law ls violated
it will be done in 80 surreptitious a
manner as to elude the vigilanoe 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 a 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 81 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
