WE are reproducing the statements
of Messrs. A. T.. and w. f.. Gonzales
with reference to the charges of John
r.. Duncan. We have never printed
Duncan's charges against the Mrssrs.
Gonzales for the simple reason that we
have never believed that they had any
foundation in fact. That is, we feel
sure that the Messrs. Gonzales had
nothing to do with the Seminole deal.
and we do not believe that they had
any improper connection with the al
legged proposed asylum deal. AS a
matter of fact, Duncan very materially
weakened his charges against the peo-
pie who contributed So much To the
success of the Seminole swndle by in
cluding in his accusations people VINO
had nothing to do with the matter.
We are glad, however, that the MeSsrs.
Gonzales have seen proper to notice
these charges and make denial of their
truth. for there are great many peo-
ple who are sure that Duncan's crouch
is not altogether without foundation.
and i'm the absence of such a state
ment they would likely continue to
confuse the innocent with the guilty.

IT was a generous deal that the dis
pensary crowd gave the Prohibition
lists, was it not? They provide for local
option" in prohibition communities
all right. and it was local option with
a vengeance. The liquor people could
hold election after election, with view
To establishing dispcnsaries. and after
a dispensary was once established,
there was no power in the state that
could lawfully remove it. Yes. that
was local option, dripping with cor
rupt liquor Hundreds Of communities
had whisky forced upon them. and the
dispensary people merely jecrcd at all
appeals for relief. They stood firm
against any and every change that
promised To reduce the volume of their
graft And now the whisky people
want local option in the hope of seeing
return To those old conditions. What
we want is state wide prohibition. UNI
der a governor who means business
and will do what can he done to en-
force the law.

FEATHERsToNE IN CHARLESTON
Prohibition Candidate Arraigns Old
Citv For awlessness

Some having intimatcd that Hon. G.
G. Fcathcrstnnc would have very little
to say in Charleston against the sale Of
liquor, we publish the report of his
speech i'm Charleston Saturday as Civ
on by the News and Courier. Instead
OF growing weaker ON this particular
issue, Mr.. Featherstone had the cOur-
age To speak out more plainly than at
the meetings in dry" counties. The
following is the News and Courier's re-
port:
The Hon. G. c. Featherstore was
received with some applause, after an
opening anecdOte which took well with
the audience, he referred to his busi-
ness and professional record, claiming
that he had equal ability with any man
in the race He said he intended Civ
ing the same prohibition spell in
Charleston, where | understand it is
not altogether popular, that | have
given i'm all the other counties"
mfr. Featherstone then proceeded to
give his argument i'm favor of state
wide prohibition, saying that Il do not
intend to trim my soles 20 suit the
varying minds" He said Charleston
county was practically multiplying the
laws of contiguous territory. At this
point the speaker grew somewhat
strong in his denunciation OF the en-
forcement of the liquor law in this
city; he did not mince words but said
that the disgraceful wnking at law
lessness in Charleston prevented this
city welding it's due influence in the
state" He said that the so per cent
of the people in the state are not going
to allow the other 90 per cent among
which is Charleston, to dictate the pol
icy of the government.
IL I,nN NJ N hnT
stone waXed warmer and stronger In
his denunciation of the Illicit sale OF
liquor and lack of law enforcement, es-
pecially in Charleston, than he has
been on any stump thus far. He APP
pealed to the better element of the city
to rise uD and enforce the law, and not
to breed lawlessness" and raise a gen.
Grafton of men who have no respect
for the law. This statement was re-
ceived with applause.
Mr. Featherstone told the people
they needn't vote for him if they dis
approved of his views on the liquor
question, but he said they should vote
for man on any particular issue; they
should pick good, clean. honest man
however, the progress of the state dld
depend on the man who occupied the
governors chair. He said there was a
varied assortment to pick from.
"The speaker predicted that South
Carolina would soon float the white
flag.
"Touching on the question of taxes
education, good roads and biennial
sessions of the legislature. four-yeaI
terms of office, Mr.. Featherstone closed
with an appeal for Christian citizen
ship and the enforcement of law. He
was cheered warmly"

JUDGE r. w. Memminaer.-Duri

Judqe r. w. Memminger.-During
the last session of the general assem-
bly a Joint resolution was passed sub
mitting an amendment to the people IN
the primary election this summer pro-
Vding for the enlargement OF the Su-
preme court of the state by the elec-
ton of an additional associate justice,
making four instead Of three. The
need for the proposed increase iS so
great that there is little doubt that
the amendment will he practically
unanimously adopted. In anticipation
of Il favorable result, there are said to
be already two applicants for the
place. Judge II. Withers Mcmmingcr
of Charleston, and Hon. J. p. Cary of
PickenS. Either of these gentlemen
would easily measure up To the reuunr-
ed standard, but South Carolina can Ill
afford to lose the Hon. r. w. Mcmnn-
ger as a circuit judge. Since he dom
ned the ermine the tone and dignity
of our courts have been pcrceptihlN
elevated.
While he dispcns"s Justice with an
even hand, Judge Mcmmingrr has not
hesitated to depart from the "h"al"n
path" blazing the way where II" pre-
cedent had been established, whenever
the cXigcncy of the case demanded II.
This initiative, if we may call il such.
ON the part of the circuit Judges is
what is needed To- restore the courts OF
our state to their prStin" plane. II
must he conceded that tn" prnpl" at
large have not the respect Tor IN"
courts that they had in days g"n" 10y.
