We produced yesterday from the Columbia Evening Record an article stating that although Cuv. Blcase had mudc an appeal to his supporters to capture the county conventions, ho had lost the major'ly of them, even his own. county, < ,1.. .4?IJ We see no occasion for gloating ver this. Ther? Ht no vIctor>'in It. The .Will and wish of tho p*H?p!e is expressed at the polls. In Anderson County, for instance, the convention appears to be composed of meu who do not favor the administration. We hope, as we have friends on both sides of the controversy, that Anderson county will do the sane thing and send to the State convention men who will represent the wIbIi of the people of the county?and we believe the sen timent In this county Is for peace. I*et jus have no factionalism In our county I convention. To our friends In Newberry we would appeal that they avoid factionalism. It Is true that the governor and bis friends two years age used the "steam roller" and captured the delegation to the State convention, but retaliation would not be just or- generous, for I conditions were different then. Wo appeal to the Newberry county [convention to realise that the gover inof i? not merely a resident or.that county and a member of a democratic club, but he Is Indeed a citizen of the whole state at present, and whether In the minority or in the majority he should be permitted to attend the stato convention. Certain issues are to be discussed, perb ;? settled, and hej should be permitted to be the Spokes-1 man for his idea/, if 110 wishes to, at tend. Primary reform has. been discussed j I for years. In 1898 there were charges | of Irregularities, and the whole con stitution of our party Is more or less| nch?i:i't, ???ui?Mv-? ?turx ?c??jr j land mechanically accepted by auc [ceedlng conventions. It te evident that some tightening up of the bolts Is necessary. The question which arisen . Is merely one of expediency. Buch ? hue and cry has been raised or "^franchising" poor watte <rnon.ytha$ thfc peopje. hate Ibecome befutfdloaHihd d? not aealls? {what primary reform would mean, It appears simple enough to us, and ! we t?an?ot^ understand *how* anybody could offer objection If the plan is I made effective. ' Not for the purpose of depriving any honest ihan of a right to vote, but to prevent residents of other counties and other states from \oi(ng. It might,be too long a step for ward to'hak thai the requirements for general elections be made to apply to primaries', although vre? cannot see where .tbia would Injure any man who cares anything for {he right to vote.

We do not believe there Is any wide spread criminality In voting, but tho governor himself has made the charge that ' an immense fund was' used against him. If So, such a thing sho ;ld not be' permitted, Let us have a primary that, is the | honest expression of tho sober, rea sonable d?c^n of tho pvoylv. k re forming;'tb& primary at this'time would defeat that end by influencing vhe ?p^ome^?^Teseatmept, it fouia be exp?dient to defer such icformj un til the people are* preparetrt?r receive them.

If this Issue is to b?. met, let it come squarely, and let the decision, be received graceful! and all proceed to act as good cltixon in putting the primary above reproach -^tor as a matter of fact the greatest 0|g|t lies In the fact that the indivld i\ voter does not spend euougu tiuuc the polls. As we are to hear more or less dit. j&filon on this subject, w* won Id like 'ask one question to cause people er take the club rolls and,ti to purge them or to add ?.names, ;of those lawfully entitled to vote?

Some weeks ago Capt. J. T. Busby, an honore* and useful citizen of this county, w?s seriously hurt because of a porson riding a motorcycle. The man on the wheel caused the Cap tain's mule to become frightened and it ran away. Tbo man did not acl( decently about the matter at all, and but for some kind rriends having wit nessed the sa5 accident. Captain Bua by no doubt would have been lying by the roadside wounded and helpless for heura. He does Pot know until this day*, who* the Ill-mannered and unfeeling rider was. Captain Bushy is not the kind of man to ,take the. law Into his own hands, but if he knew who that rider was there would bo no appeal to the courts fo'r redress. For some time we have wished to write something about the need of protection on our Highways for the occupants of vehicles. We hardly know what should be done, but wo know* that something should be done to causa motorcycle riders to pay mnro respect to the law of the road ?which after all is nothing but or dinary common sense and good man ners. , That Anderson is not the only sec tion bothered by the selfishness of ^sqcpej riders is observed from the fol lowing statement in correspondence to this paper from Atlanta: "Atlanta. April 30.?With one pretty (/flftocn-year-old girl motorcyclist ser iously injured, end three or four men cyclists laid up in the hospital, and one of ? week ago dead, as the result of smasbups between motorcycles an j other vehicles, the police and city authorities here havo finally awaken ed to the fact that there is no reason or excuse for exempting the motor cycles from all speed laws and all trahie regulations.
