Yours truly, Anderson Phosphate & Oil Co. Evading the Pistol Law. Ingenious merchants throughout the State have hit npon a clever method of getting around the pistol law, which went into effect about a month ago. It is strictly against the recent Act of tho Legislature to manufacture or sell fire arms less than twenty inches long and weighing less than three ponnds, but no provision was made for the renting or leasing of the weappnc. Several hardware dealers in the upper part of South Carolina are doing a live ly business disposing of shooting irons for a period of ten years, which, of course, amounts to the same thing ns selling them outright. In order to effect a transaction of this kind legal contracts are drawn up nnd properly signed, according to the laws of the State. A pistol worth teu dollars under the old law will now rent for ten years for about the same sum. There is a sort of silent agreement be tween the dealer and the customer that the ten-year-itase about settles the transaction. The trick does not seem to have been practiced in Charleston as yet, but it is probable that some such steps will soon he taken to pull tho wool over the eyes of the State lawmakers.?Spartanburg Herald. In Memorinm. In loving favor to the desire of Mr. and 3/rs. Edward King, of fountain Springs, and Mr. and J/rs. Perry Browne, of Greenville, their son and daughter, who request in the Anderson Intelligencer a few memorial lines on the death of Mtb.

Mr. Editor : The Newton family re union was held July 20th in honor of Mrs. Ruth M. Newton at the old home stead of the late Larkin Newton, it being her o?th marriage anniversary, also the birthday of one daughter, one niece, one nephew and oue grandson iii-law. The meeting was called to order by Mr. John Mullinii, and opened with the singing of the old familiar song, "Home Sweet Home," and a prayer by Rev. J. E. Heard, of the Pendleton circuit. A nice programme had been arranged tor the day to be carried out by various committees, which wero immediately appointed. A letter of welcome was rend by Mrs. Newton herself. Flowers from Aunt Polly Hiutou, of Pelzer, wore then presented to her by Mrs. Cornelia New ton, of Pickens, with suitable remarks. A letter from Rev. J. C. Calhoun New ton, of the Virginia Confereuce, was then read by his brother, Josephuu. It began away back yonder with his enrly recollections and came on up step by step to young manhood, nam ing several of the old landmarks that 1 have passed on to the reunion beyond, whom many of the present generation have not seen and possibly have heard so little about till they hardly knew who they were. May we have many more reunions throughout the land un til we find out who we are and whom our kindred tiro and where they be. Mr. Newton wa? once the Sunday School Superintendent nt Sharon, with many of this community as pupils, who are to-day the pareutsof the land. At the close of his letter he asked us all in remembrance of his Stuidny j School work to sing the favorite old song, "Shall we meet beyond the River," which was sung in a very im pressive manner and in soft tones. The committees now began work and made the next few hours enjoyable to all present. Some fine watermelons were cut, only to be eagerly devoured by large and email. Then a sumptuous dinner was spread in the shades of the stately old oaks of many years stand ing, much to the gratification of all. When this feast was over lunches were sent to remembered sick ones that could not be present. We all then repaired to the parlor and were led in many songs by Mr. A. W. Pickens, with Mr. Mullinix at the organ. The voices of old and young, united in songs, makes a melody that is not to be surpassed by mortal man. Next was a beautiful Poem, composed and recited by Mrs. Martha C. Newton, entitled "Wander Back, Why Not." It was a very appropriate poem for a renn ion?forceful, sensible and logical. Rev. J. E. Beard was then introduced and made a short address, much to the delight and benefit of all present. The benediction was then pronounced by Bro. Beard, after which lemonade was served with a refreshing effect. More songs were wanted and Miss Ruth Newton, of Pickens, came to the organ and rendered several nice pieces with skill and ability. Next was parting for our homes with the happy thought of reuniting again next year. May the reunions go on and on. A Guest. In Memory of J. D. Campbell.

Robert Moorhead, Chairman of Com. OME XXXVm?NO 8. Some Valuable Suggestions to the Democracy. Andereon, 8. C, Aug. 11, 1902. Dear Intelligencer : I have just gotten ovr.r the Senatorial meeting at Anderson last week, and since I oome to think of.lt quietly and alone, I don't know which party Is the blggor fool?the people who attend the meetings or the candidates who aro forced by tbe primary rules to stand up like so many school boys ami make their ilttle set Bpeecbes one day after another. In the first place, in tbe time allotted each speaker, U is impossi ble to discuss Intelligently any one issue absorbing the public irterest; so that, conscious of this condition, there is no effort on the part of any of the candidates to branch out in to ths discussion of any weightier subject tban personalties and billingsgate. Such an arrangement is fruitful of and Is the delight of the small politician, as it enables him to ?y in the face of the crowd In just as gaudy oolors for a abort length of time as the majeatlo eaglea in the race. The Idea of six men each consuming twenty-?ve minutes to enlighten the people on the great and momentous '.Issues of the day in nation al politics is the most ludicrous faroeand ridiculous place of by-play ever perpe trated upon an intelligent people. Tf the dlagusted expressions of hundreds of people who wltoesHed theBpeotaoular ex hibitions of tbe six candidates for the United t-tales Senate at Anderson last Tuesday are fruitful of anything good, it will mean either a reform in the mat ter of campaigning In the primary or the doom of tb'i primary system Itself. Tbe intolll?t.u?-e of South Carolinians will eoou rovolt at this effort to discredit it in the eyes of the country. They are tired of being reported to the world as being madly enthusiastic over one cer tain candidate whose only olalm to en thusiastic support rests upon some catchy anecdote or some ill concealed malicious aspersion upon bio opponent's record. Sensible people are tired of being ap pealed to by demagogues, as if prejudice and ignorance were the all-controlling sentiment of their Uvea. It maker] one dizzy to attempt a com parison between the old campaigning when Calhoun was at his zenith and the present when the small politician is in his glor*. Can any one, with ever so fertile (c r more properly) so deranged an imagination, picture our Calhoun feeing an Intelligent audience of men and wo men, accusing his competitor of accept ing free passes and of being bought by corporate interests? Of having his family put on the government pay roll? Of having a law office in another State, or of comparing his honored competitor to a - talking goat which was atung by a bee in r, "tender spot" as he jumped the fence and remarked "by damn" ? Can any one oonoeive of the immortal Calhoun making use of a shockingly vulgar, wit less, and pointless joke to oatoh the favor of the vulgar populace 7. It is devoutly to be wished that the country will return to ita former Ideals and relegate to the shades of oblivion the small politicians whose only appeal to publia recognition in based on a low, base and demagogic plane, fit'.ouly to emanate from a watu heeler begging votes in the alums. But how can auch a radical change be effected? The people do not advocate the present plan. They are thoroughly dlsgUBted with it and want a change. They desire a disoussion of iBSuea, not men nor of seeds nor of goats. They want men, not blatherskites, giants not pigmies, Intellects not mouths, and when they are given the opportunity to aelect men by these, standards In a primary -properly regulated and in whloh each candidate shall have ample time to ox p?und the Ibsuss or the day and not be forced to consume bis allotted time in answering the vaporings of some blatant ass, when this time comes (and heaven speed the day) then we may be repre sented in our law-making bodies by men of character and ability by whom WO, bs a people, will be willing to be judged by the outside world and of whom we shall not be ashamed. If it be argued that it will be impossi ble to secure a fair attendance of the peo ple upon the meetings where candidates for minor offices are to speak, that is, in itself, an admission that the people do not want to hear them. Such being the case, why force thorn to hear what they don't want to hoar? My observation teaches me that '.here is always a spirit of impatience on tne part of the people in their devout desire for the "little guns" to get through so they can hear tbe "big guns." If It be absolutely necessary to I have campaign meetings for the "little guns",have them separate and apart, and if tbe people wpnt to bear them they can do so, otherwise let them stay at home. Certain it is that it is not compulsory. If they want to hear the candidates for the more important offices and want to form an honest opinion as to the relative merits of each candidate, let them have an opportunity of hearing each one at length. Tbe small politician can not stand the calcium light of close scrutiny, and ju?l as aoon as the light is turned on and he gives back no evidences of his worth, he must and will drop back into that "innocuous desuetude" from which he sprung. In County and State campaigns, let the party change its rules to conform to rea son and the primary system as well as the State will be the gainer. R. Card or Thanks.
