The State Democratic executive co
mittee has declared Gov. Cole.
Blease the Democratic nominee f
another term as governor, and thu6
ended a cruel, cruel war.
_
We congratulated Gov. Blease up
the face of the returns, and we co
gratulate him upon the official declar
tion.
Congratulations also to Fred. Doi
inick, who managed the governoj
campaign in a manner which h
gained for him the admiration of sor
of the governor's most unyielding o
ponents.
Congratulations and condolences
the Columbia State?congratulatioi
upon the fine work which it did
helping to reelect the governor, ai
condolences in ite sorrow.
Congratulations to the Anderson I
J
teliigencer, which espoused the cau:
of Governor Bleaee, and congratul
tiong to the Yorkville Enquirer, whi<
kept in the middle of the road, seekii
to give everybody a fair deal, ai
managing to take care of itself in ve:
/ fine style.
And, by the way, congratulations
Dick Greneker, of The Herald ai
News staff, who got mad a thousai
times during the campaign, but wl
kept cool, nevertheless, and cac
through without whipping anybodyor
getting whipped.
To the Gaffney Ledger and t]
Greenwood Daily Journal and tl

10 gard to the dispensary system, lugj
Qe in the name of Mr. H. H. Evans, o
_ Newberry, in a planner which, in effect,
revives charges against Mr. Ev
ans which have been buried beneatl
a nol pros, hy the State in Newberrj
county and a verdict of not guilty b)
a_ a Richland county jury. The reference
by Senator Tillman, it seems to us, ii
wholly uncalled-for^ and in bad taste

ve Some months ago the attorney genera!
0f of .the State, acting through the solid^
tor of this circuit, handed out a bill
of indictment against Mr. Evans ir

court Mr. Evans demanded a trial, un]0
til the case was finally nol prossed bj
is the attorney general. Mr. Evans was
16 then indicted in Richland county. H*
1(1 demanded a trial there, and he was
acquitted.
le Surely, even if a man was connectil,
,ed w-ith the old State dispensary, he
it, and his family are entitled to some
a consideration. If Senator Tillmar
se had any proof of any wrong-doing bj
es Mr. Evans in connection with the disal
pensary, it 6trikes us that he shoulc
have presented it during the cours*
of some of the many investigations
ill which have been conducted of the dis>1
pessary's affairs, and certainly durdls
ing the time Mr. Evans was demanding
id of the court a final judgment in con.h.
nection with the charges brought
ad against him. It is unworthy of th?
ke senator ~o be raking up these deac
e, embers of the past at this late day
er the only effect of which could be tc
tie bring Mr. Evans into unpleasant nout
toriety again. There ought to be ai
p- end at some time to charges and ac
a- cusations. We presume the attorney
general urged all the proof against
Mr. Evans which he had. The attorre
ney general himself in one case endec
te the prosecution, and in the other ?
he jury of another county wrote a verVe
diet of acquittal.
It would have been far better foi
3n South Carolina, in our humble judg
ment, had the legislature, when r
1 j
"u abolished the State dispensary, aooi
he ished it then and there and put ar
end to the whole matter. The legis
lature, in its wisdom, however, di<
not see fit so to do. A long and ted
Qn ious course was followed, with ver:
^ e little result. That, however, has noth
st- ing to do with the matter in hand.

est New York World.
The Pennsylvania's restriction c
the speed of all trains to seventy mile
in an hour, taken in connection with thi
wo road's agreement with the Central t
A lengthen the IS-hour Chicago schedul
f " [
f ; of both Jin^s to twenty hours, indicates R
a a tendency away from the old speed
e ideals of American railway managen
ment. It is significant that the new
s policy is adopted at a time when in
- improved roadbeds, stronger bridges,
f steel equipment and in everything but
- tougher rails the roads are in a bet(1
ter position to run fast trains with |
r safety than when most of the limiteds |
e and flyers were instituted.
a Most speed records on American
a railways in fact, were made under less
f! secure operating conditions than now
s j exist. A Lehigh Valley train in 1897
r covered 44 miles at the rate of 80
miles an hour; a Burlington train in
1902 ran 15 miles at a 98-mile gait, and
- a train on the Plant system in 1901
3 accomplished the remarkable feat of I
running five miles at the rate of 120:
Y miles an hour. As far back as 1848
the Great Western, of England, ran
a train 53 miles at a speed of 68 miles
-Ian hour.
Seventy miles an hour is the maxit
mum speed allowed on French railt
ways. It is more' a theory than a con- j
i dition as respects trains on regular j
) schedule in any country. The Penn- i
; sylvania's and the Central's Chicago!
1 flyers average under 60 miles an hour.
The fastest German train, running betwen
Berlin and Hamburg, maintains
a speed of only 55 miles an hour, and
English schedules are but little faster.
Does a public demand exist for 18,hour
and other high speed trains?
Railway managers represent that it
does, and the recent wreck on the Bur
lington was ascriDea Dy an iiimois i
5 jury to this direct cause. But the companies
are under no compulsion to run
7 them; they are uneconomical, and
3 most have been instituted by way ofj
rivalry and to advertise the roads more 1
than to meet any real need of the traveling
public.
A policy of speed reduction would j
, accord with the policy of retrenchf
ment with which railroad executives
are confronted in other things.
