The character of his administration

tions and department during the recent
campaign. Those declarations mark
him as a broad and progressive man:

that he can to build up the states many
industries. In his public utterances he

The GovernOr-Elect and What Is to
he Expected of Him.
Duncan Clinch Hayward. who has
been selected by the Democratic voters
of this state to be governor Of South
Carolina for the next two years, comes
Of an honored and historic family. His
father was Edward Barnwell Hayward.
Of Colleton county, and his mother was
Catherine Maria Clinch q daughter OF
General Duncan L. Clinch, Of Georgia.
A few years before the war between the
states his father moved to his planta-
ton on the Wateree river, In Richland
county, and there the future governor
was born in 1864. Shortly after the war
his father returned to Colleton county,
where he engaged in the business OF
rice planting, in which business his an
cestors had engaged for many years
before him. A few years after the re/
moval Of the family to Colleton county,
Captain Heyward's father and msther
both died, and the rest of his childhood
was spent with his grandmother, Mrs.
Clinch, who resided in Charleston dur
ing the winter months and in the
mountains of Georgia during the sum-
mer.
Captain Hayward was educated at the
Washington and Lee university, Lex
ington, Va, and in 1886 married Miss
Mary Elizabeth Campbell, Of Rock
bridge, that state. Immediately after
his marriage he moved to Walterboro,
Colleton county, where he has since re-
sided with his family, there being born
of his marriage four children. Since
1886 he has devoted himself exclusively
to the cultivation Of rice, in which bus
mess he has been very successful.
Prior to the campaign just ended Cap
tain Hayward had never been candi-
date for public office, although he had
for many years evinced a deep interest
in public affairs, and had always been
most active in the discharge of the du-
ties devolved upon him as a prominent
and influential citizen of the county.

there were many who believed when
his candidacy was announced, that 1t

How the Voters Decided Issues In
Last Tuesday's Election.
The daily papers have done good work
in collecting the vote in last Tuesdays
primary and gave practically official
figures in their issues of yesterday
morning. The total vote was over 91,,-
5OO and but a few thousand less than
the total of the first primary. The race
for comptroller general was remarkably
close and so also was the race for con-
gress in the Second district. In the
other races all the winners landed by
safe majorities. The race for senator
and governor by counties was as fol-

viewed Col. Amos a few days ago and
reports the result in part as follows:

"Ch, yes" said Amos. Il met him
when I was there at that cussed cherry
tree trial. He Is a clever fellow, but
don't know much. He is not a stem
winder. Jeter Pritchard is his key, and
he had to run to Jeter to be wound up
when he got the nomination. l was
thar and heard Yates ak him, Hello.
Hiss, are you going to meet me on the
stump" Hiss looked at his Pierce
memorandum book, and said, "Not till
I hear from Cousin Jeter Pritchard.'
All the delegates from Cleveland and
Mecklenburg counties then nodded
their heads and joined in the chorus.

ACCORDING to Volume of the CEN
sus reports, the penny dailies of the
great cities of this country are meeting
with a perplexing problem as to how to
keep. on their feet financially. The pa
per contained in these dailies costs con-
siderably more than a penny, and it is
calculated that the value Of the white
paper occupied by a single line of ad-
vertising in 100000 edition is about
% cents. Thus the cost of circulation
encroaches seriously into the income
from advertising, and publishers realize
that competition is forcing them to the
limit where ruin must result.

cation from the Moro country, 1t Is
stated that Colonel Baldwin tried to get
all the sultans and dattos to meet him
in friendly conference. The sultan Of
Bacolod professed friendship, but asked
for three months in which to &C lmu-
nicate with the various tribes over
which he was chief. Moros in the camp
of Colonel Baldwin said that this was
simply a ruse to gain further time and
prepare for war.

THE Charleston vote for state senator
resulted: Won Kolnitz, 2,371; Grace,
2,14S. For United States senator the
vote resulted 1872 for Evans and 1881
for Latimer. Won Kolnitz is elected by
a small majority. 1t will be remem-
bered that Senator Tillman gave
Charleston to understand distinctly that
if she elected Won KolnitZ she could
expect no further consideration at his
hands in the United States senate. Mr..
Latimer, however, has record for get
ting things, and from the rousing big
vote that he received in Charleston,
there is good reason to believe that he
has arranged to look after the interests
of that city in the future. Time will
probably show.

EVERYTHING in connection with the
recent election is now settled except the
question as to "who did it." The Co.
lumbia State claims entire credit for
the whole business. and the Greenville
News seems to think it's efforts are en-
titled to some recognition. THE EN-
oUIRER has no claims to make in the
matter further than that it regarded
Col. ]. H. Tillman and Governor Evans
as defeated men from the very first,
and the idea that any newspaper should
seriously undertake to claim credit
for a result that was so clearly mani
fest in advance to all reasonably we'll
informed people, strikes us as a bit
ridiculous.

WE have not been very much impress
ed heretofore by the Importance of the
trust question as a political isue. We
have recognized the trust system as a
dangerous evil: but we have been una
BILE to see any way by which this evil
could be checked. Corporations are a
necessity. The original trust was an
agreement between corporations to
limit production in such a way as to
control prices. The dangerous tendency
Of this arrangement was clear, and
laws were enacted to prevent ii. But
the trusts manged to circumvent the
laws by uniting the various corpora
tions composing them into single cor
porations. Thus the technical violation
of law was avoided, while the same end
was secured. 1t is not practicable to
set limit upon the amount of capital
that corporation may employ, and
the problem Of further controlling the
trusts has been most perpleXing. But
it seems that Senator Morgan, of Ala

proposition to hold the trusts in check
by means Of taxation. At the same
time it seems that he has given the
Democratic party an invaluable sug-
gestion. If the Democrats of the next
house will press this question with Wig
or, they will make the Republicans show
their hand. If the Republicans are
really honest about desiring to suppress
the trusts they will accept the Morgan
proposition and enact it into law. If
they are not honest, they will reject
it, and as the result the people of the
country will likely rise in their might
and give the control of the government
to the Democratic party. We believe
Senator Morgan's proposition embodies
the keynote to the situation.
