When, tho pres ent method of conducting political campaigns in rSouth Carolina was Brut instituted, there was a general de mand that candidates for ct a to of fices and for United States senator be required to appear boforc the peo ple in every county to' raoet their op ponents in Joint debate. Under condi tions nt that time, the Innovation was successful and state campaign? had at least some value In informing and educating the voters on tho IBHUCS of tho day. In late years tho campaign preced ing tho primary election has fallen to the level of a second-rate- circuB. The mud-slinging, Jim-swinging seeker af ter political emoluments and honors loads up bis batteries with a foul as sortment of falsehood, abuso and punk platitudes and then lets 'er Hy, to tile delight of those who ought to know bettor and to tho infinito dis gust of those who do. It bas been years sluco South Carolina bas had a real educational campaign, and lt will bo many moons again boforo she awliiga back to the good old days un less there is a moro pronounced up rising of popular dlhfavor than ap pparn to bo Imminent at present. We cannot Bay that we favor a dis continuance af the Joint meetingo al together. It would be best perhaps if the next stato convention of the Dem ocratic party would abolish tho coun ty meetings and order ono Joint de bate in each of the congressional dis tricia. At n time when abuso of one's opponent is tho weapon so frequently resorted to by candidates who like to muddy tho waters to obscure their own lack of qualifications, lt would servo a wholesome purpose to requiro all of them to face one ni.other oc casionally during tho progress of, a campaign. It would tend to. stop'im d. rinso dod methods of attack .by giv ing a man a chance to force the hand of his opponent and make him put up or ?hut up. We have thought, too., that it might be a good things to require a can didate.' us a prerequiste to entering a campaign, to obtain the signature of a fixed number of voters asking that he be officially entered as a candidate. This Is a condition imposer' by the primary laws of most o' the states, and the beauty and worth of the re uuirment ia that it gives men who are fit for office some right of w*tv over those who are not. Our' primary rules permit 'A?y o?o to eatery > and any freak who would do well to tall tho ticket lu a free.. and open race for dog catcher can enter a South Caro lina campaign and got as much time to air his crazy viowu as tho best .-a ul lund and most worthy man In tho 'Allis in div .SOm?????n of tuut*o tun? puts a' premium on incompetency and actual wrongdoing, and it IP high time for the a ta to. to wake up and clear tho way. of political trash and under growth.

Somehow tho ringing of bells up peala to tho imagination the world over, and nowhere is tills more true than In many couutrics of Europe. Karly in the sixteenth century bells began to appear In churches In sets, thc forerunners of the sweet chimes that came at a later day. Among the well known examples of this class is the set presented to King's College, Cambridge, in 1156, by Pope Calixtus III. Homo of tho ancient bella were cast In odd shapes. Thc rectangular form was tho most fr?quent Sheets of metal were ?ocuroly riveted together, making a ?*ather ungraceful but an easily constructed bell of four sides. In Ireland, Scotland and Wales aro found many hells of this typo today. Thc celebrated boll of St. Patrick in Belfast is rectangular, and is orna mented with inlaid gold, precious stones and filigree work. The first bell of Moscow, famous in history, was cast in 1733. It holds tho record nB the largest bell in thc world, weighing two hundred tons and having a circumference of sixty feet. It is now used as a chapel. Tho Becond boil of Moscow ls smaller, woighing ono hundred and twenty eight tonB, but, unlike its predecessor, lt has been moro fortunate and is still in use. The simple peasantry of Europe loves lt chimes, but tho war has still ed many a molten tongue whoso silver peals will bo heard no more, THE GRASSHOPPER IT AB . The Red Man was as pronounced In hlB militarism as any sword-clanking Junker of these modern days of dis grace, but even in bis wild and un tutored mind the madness of war had its limitations. . In the folklore of the Chippewa tribe there 1B a must" old legend that wis? men employed to illustrate the foii; of useless wars, and the origin of the mythical blcodfcat known as tue "grasshopper war" ls about as sound and reasonable as the most carefully worded anaylsls given, by tho moBt astute political students in explanation of tho conflict that has set Europe ablaze. According to Red Deer? a.once fa raouB chief retired from the active liBt of fighters and oslerlzed into story tolling. Thero were once two Indian tribes whose domain was sep arated by a small ?Ter. . The chi. dren of both tribes were accustomed to minglo freely in their plays and games. \ One Ano morning a great swarm ot grasshoppers deluged their play ground. The children, bubbling over , with happiness, decided to have some sport Running bach to their wig , warns, they hastily armed themselves with the little bows and arrows their warlike fathers had prepared foi them. f.'; . Small circles were then drawn In the sand of the. river bottom, and ii 1 was agreed that each child should have the sol* prlvlege of shooting ' the grasshoppers that fell innido hie ring. . ' ' . Everything went as smooth as r marriage hell until a luckless grass , hoy nor fell on the Uno where twt . circles carno .in contact. Each ni do, o j course, claimed the spoils. Nelthoi , would yield.

JAPANESE BUDDHISTS PROPAGATING FAITH THROUGHOUT CHINA Tokio, September 30.-(Associated Press Correspondence.)-There ls in creasing evidence ?but Japanese Budd hists are to undertake propogatlon of tho faith in China with greatlly renewed zeal. Tho movement ls oile of several demonstrations with which tho Japanese people arc trying to em phasize their nut ional spirit, in con nection witto the forthcoming cere monies of accession of the Emperor Yoshlhlto, and tho movement is sin gularly noteworthy because it was through China and Korea that Budd hism cams tc Jupas. The force of Japanese missionaries in China oas already beon increased, nni tho campaign for further mis sionary work is in full swing. Tho movement is grankly explained aa both religious and political. Japan has apparently como to the realiza tion that her missionaries can ac complish great things in nspreadlng tho' infiuonco of Japan tn China and in ' impressing in a friedly way the desires of Jnpaese to increase their prestige there. The Buddhistic leaders, especially tho progressives, contend that tho propagation of religion in China has. been monopolized too much by Chris tians and denied too much to Japan ese. Tho object of Buddhistic pro pagation in China should be attained, they declare, on the principle of hu manity and charity. Tho Buddhist VIOWB ?"nave been set forth in a memorial which has been presented to tho government and to every member of the Diet, lt points out that the Western powers, realiz ing the great importance of grasping the mind of tjho native population for extending their rights and interests in China are giving every protection to their missionaries. For the exten sion of her religious propagation the Buddhist f tunpiu- Ire the fact "that Japan is *u z. vory convenient posi tion geographically. Nevertheless neither ?jovernment nor publicist seems to have attached any impor tance to the maUer. The attention of public-spirited men has been* too much concentrated on the ' material side of ^Japan's Interests; not enough men have turned their attention to the spiritual side of Japan's interests, represented . by tc.o extension ot re ligion in China. The memorial socs on to affirm that the past efforts of the Buddhists have not .been appreciated, and have prov ed.of little avail. ^Enormous sum" of money had been expended in erect in g -religious -headquarters in . China and .tn Bending, mlsslonaried j to- that country. Noble leaders 'had penetrated into the far interior and not a fow a'ad perished there .as mor tyra to the cause of Buddhism':' ' In conclusion the manifesto appeals to the government to help "the-great work of propagation, believing it cer tain to . lay a strong foundation for the establishment of permanent peace j in the far east add the happier rela tionship between tho Japan ce and Chinese peoples." A..good deal of Interest has also been created by a manifesto issued by the Nichtran sect, the most radical and zealous sect o? Buddhism. The tract is couched in unusual terms and bears the heading": "Japan will soon be destroyed Sound* tibe alarm!-Sound the ?lam!" The Japan Evangelist which is ? the organ of tho Christian workers here, publishes a translation of. tho'" traci with the comment that it sustains t ic -reputation ot .the Nlchlren sect thal it; possesses "zeal without knowl edge." The phamphlot declrhse: "Tho people 'ot. Japan, are proud ol their 'heavenly origin, but, behold, be fore the God of Christianity, the hoi} emperor who ia a great god and holy and the oho lord in the universe, lt slandered as a 'child ot sin/ and ii regarded as being without any au thority in tiie. sphere as morality.' The manifesto' continues: -.-'?. "It ls not true that Christine thought which threatens-'- to deetroj and grind into tho , dust our . incom parable 'and supreme Japanese '.'afc ti?nallty. is now spreading throughout all classes? Truly tala is a sigh that reveals the spiritual downfall of th< Japanese state, lt there is in us s drop of loyalty to tho emperor how han we he indifferent to the presump tions of -these bretics? The true fol lowers of. our national . saihV>,Nfch< "iron?' perform his vow in which h< said,' "I will he a pillar of Japan. J will be. eyes ?or; Japan. . I will bo th< great ship ot salvation of Japan."' : The tract concludes'with a trumpet cait to protect the nation.hy a deepei study and truer practice ot Nfchfren'i doctrines. ?' 4 * KEW ENTERPRISES 4 * .'"/". .
