THE DISpENSARY CANDIDATES.

Commenting or an editorial of the
Sumter Item, the Columbia State re-
marks:
South Carolnians wish and assured
ly should have AN honest man for gov
ernor. One is wanted who will not
bend to every breeze, or be continually
wetting his fingers to get the direction
OF the popular wind before determining
his course: AS for Senator Manning
we would have much preferred his en-
teftainlng our views regarding the i'm
possibility of reforming the D~ispensary.
but having his convictions on that point
we would not have had him change for
the sake of policy, ever if the change
meant the immediate abolition of the
otate institution. The spectacle of
such a n as Richard Manning turning
policy-politician would be enough to
shake ones faith in all mankind.
I'VE do not know whether Mr.. Man
nlng Will enter the ~gubesnatorial race
next summer, nor can the voter, at
this stage, determine his course. The
dispensary is likely to loom large and
the issue may be sharply defined be-
tween ~'dispensary' and no d~ispensary.'
II winch event the personnel of candi-
oates may be obscured by the policy.

but Mr.. Manning is, in our Judgment.
totally unfit and incompetent to be a
dispensary governor.
Here is the test: Dare Richard /.
Manning recommend the amendment of
the ~dispensary law so that it shall be
directly administered by himself as gov
ernor, if elected, so that he shall be
personally responsible for it's admins
t%ration, so that he shall accept the
hazard of having his name stained with
it?
Governor Tillman was brave enough
to make that recommendation. He did
not shirk the responsibility of BEING
head dispenser, head buyer and seller
OF whiskey as we'll as governor. He
holds that the governor should run the
dispensary and SO said last summer.
There is strength in his position. We
DO not believe that Mr.. Manning would
accept the governorship on any such
terms, and if he would not he Is no
Thoroughbred dispensary man.
If the dispensary is a good institution
1T ought to commend the highest char
acter and best ability in South Carolina
for its service. We challenge anybody
to shake the logic of that proposition.
If a man is too good to manage a dis
pensary he has no right to ask the sup
port of dispensary men in a primary.
The man who is elected governor this
year on a State grog-shop platform has
got to swallow it horns, hoof and hide.

of South Carolina congressman and a
wide-awake mayor, in behalf of public

Representative Aiken has. received a
gratifying assurance from the commit
tee of public buildings and grounds that
there will be a favorable report on his
bill providing for a $50, 600 public build
ing at Anderson. He also expects sim
liar action on his bill providing for a
public building at Greenwood.
