GEN. WILLIE JONES APPOINTED
To Succeed the Lntc Mr.. Dukes on
The Dispcnsary Bpnrd.

Governor Hayward has appointed
Gen Willie Jones to succeed the late
a. +. II, Dukes on the BOARD Of dircc-
tors Of the State dispensary. Gen.
Jones had accepted the appointment,
but will not stand for reelection at the
hands OF the legislature at the cXpira-
tion OF his term in January OF next
year. He las served on the board be-
fore, having been chairman of the first
hMard organized after the management
WAS transferred from 4 board consist
Ing OF certain St..te officials to Il board
elected by the general assembly. The
following statement waS given out
from The EOVcrnOrS'S Ollicc last night:
luis app. ininicnt wlS made after
much careful considerations. There
were many applicants for the position
and many we'll qualified to discharge
its duties. But, after most carefully
considering the situation the governor
concluded to appoint Gen. Jones be-
cause OF his previous long and efficient
service as Il member Ut the board, his
eminent fitness for the position by
reason OF his lCng business training
and the very high esteem in which he
is held by everybody in the State.
Gen. Jones was not IN applicant
for the position and has consented to
accept only to fill the unrXpirrd term
with the distinct understanding that
he Will not consent q be Il candidate
for reelection before the coming lcgis-
lature."
The State state says the appoint
mcnt Of Gen. Jones will no doubt cause
no little surprise, but will probably
meet with general approval, for he is
we'll known over the State and is
| chairman Of the Democratic party or
ganization. There are now in Colun,-
bia Il number Of delegations waiting to
urge upon the governor the claims oi
their respective candidates and tt
them the news OF the appointment
may come as shock.
The people Of South Carolina can
not appreciate how the governor has
been bcsicgcd for the past three days.
The telegraph companies have re-; I'd
a harvest, the special delivery lei = !.
have come by dozens and the long dis.
tanccc phones have been kept busy
Having taken time by the forclock The
governor no doubt has avoided lot o
annoyance in the way of other appeals
for him to appoint this, that or tile
other one to a place which seems to bC
coveted very much.

THE most significant feature Of the
progress Of the settlement OF the race
problem Is the change In sentiment
nf The northern press on the subject.
The New York Sun, one Of the most

around in its position. 1t admits that
The good, law abiding citizens OF tho
south must settle the question to
their own satisfaction, and says that
