An editorial from Walhalla harshly critiques the governor of South Carolina, accusing him of waging war on state institutions, abusing pardon powers, and pursuing personal and political aims. It quotes experts and railings on dispensary matters, while noting appointments to a new winding up commission and repeating jibes at Tillman and his stunts.
