Whatever tlie outcome of the pres ent political mix up, it is apparent that to save the primary some meth od will have to be adopted to restore the confidence of a large number of the people in its integrity. To abol ish the primary will be to invite conditions more intolerable than those which so many people believe exist at present. There are restric tions which can be thrown around the system that will protect it from any semblance of fraud or at least make attempted fraud easily trace able and punishable. Many suggestions have been of fered. but there are two which have been set forth by citizens of this county that are worthy of considera tion. One of these is the requirement of a certificate of registration from ev ery person offering to vote and the stamping of such certificate by the managers of the precinct where such certificate is offered with the date and name of precinct. This would eliminate the opportunity for "re peating." Then the placing of each individual ballot in a sealed envelope! provided for the purpose would pre vent "stuffing." In case more than one ballot is found in an envelope all in that envelope could be strickeu from the count. Another and an important sugges tion which has been offered is that enrollment 011 the club rolls be taken in hand by a board, similar to the county registration l>oard, having jurisdiction over the entire coun ty. Application for enrollment should l>e made to this county hoard, accompanied by an affidavit setting forth that the applicant is a qualified elector and is entitled to vote at the precinct where enrollment is sought. This county enrollment board could then prepare and furnish to the man agers at each box a correct list of tin voters entitled to cast their ballots at each box, eliminating all duplicates. and none whose names did not ap /^~ pciir on such lists to be eligible to vote. This is somewhat similar to the system in vogue in Georgia. These suggestions are given for what they are worth to show that there is no need to condemn and dis card the primary* until steps hav? l>een taken to properly safeguard it. The primary is an institution which Southern Democrats cannot aftbrd to abandon. It was adopted by thi* State many years in advance of other sections and of late years has come to be recognized by citizens of all political parties in other States as the one effective means in the hands of the people for fighting "boss'' rule and corporation control. For South Carolina to turn, her back upon this principle, after having thoroughly established it, and that, too, at a time when other Slates are just beginning to come to a realization of its value, would be suicidal. The primary system is all right, all that is needed is a restoration of con fidence in its integrity, and this cau be more quickly and satisfactorily ac complished by the adoption and en forcement of stringent regulations that will insure its ipurity than by any other means. Surely there there is wisdom enough and patriotism enough left in South Carolina to pre serve the primarv svstem on a basis that will be satisfactory to all con cerned. CRISIS IN MEXICO. The situation in Mexico has gone to a point which .seems to indicate that further forbearance on the part of the United States is a matter of short duration. Already there has been a clash between Mexican insur gents and United States troops guard ing the border, in which several Mexicans were killed. Daily there come reports from Mexico of the maltreatment of Americans and the dangers to which they are constantly subjected. President Taft signifies his intention of making intervention the very last step which he intends to take. He has expressed an intention of calling: conjrress together in extra session some time during the present month for the purpose of considering this question, unless conditions are improved. J n using every means at his com mand to prevent a war with Mexico Mr. Taft is to be commended, but a vacillating policy in a matter of this kind would bring the United States into the contempt of the whole world. Firmness and prudence should gov ern the chief executive in dealing with the Mexican crisis. Mr. Roose velt, in his impetuosity, would no doubt have settled the mutter be fore this in his own way, but his solution might have entailed end less complications upon the country. Should Mr. Taft succeed in his en-! deavors to avoid intervention with out a sacrifice of principle and secure to Americans in Mexico that protec tion which their country owes them, he will have accomplished more for his country than any president in many years. The situation is fraught with dan ger. Those who love peace will wish for Mr. Taft every success in his an nounced policy, but even they will not wish to see a peace which is had at the price of the utter disregard with impunity by the Mexicans of every right of the United States. Action by this government has been forced by the Mexicans themselves, ami if the.Mexican government is not able to control its own affairs to such an extent as to insure protection to American citizens and the Amer ican frontier line, then the United States will he compel led to take a hand. PATRIOTS NOT PARTIZANS WANTED. The duty which is now confronting the State Democratic executive com mittee calls for men of the highest type of character and ability. Per haps nothing that the committee does will meet the unqualified endorse ment of both factions. The commit tee should lay aside all partisan feel ing and endeavor to get at the bottom of the whole business. Heretofore our primaty elections have been con ducted upon the honor system, with a-ehance for every white man to par tiOipate.. under inis system many irregularities have crept in and there has been a general laxness in the en foroement^of the rules governing the election. The present tangle into which these irregularities and Iax nass have led the party will be fruit ful for good, because the way will be# pointed to a proper safeguarding of'the system in future by the stricter enforcement of the primary rulcsand the adoption of some plat) to prevent the appearance of fraud. The present state <jf feeling is such thfct the executive committee should besabsolutely certain of their ground before ordering a new election or throwing the contest for the govern orship into the general election. It must be prepared to produce evidence ^substantiate the fact that sufficient fraud has been discovered to nullify thfe result already obtained. Noth ing less will satisfy a majority of the pepple. Whatever the action of the committee, it is to be hoped that it will be no longer delayed than abso lute necessity > require*. It is to be honed that the eommit tee will forget Blfiise and forgot Jones, and remember that It is not whether the one or ttie other is to l>e lf(^*ernor of the State, but whether thfe State is t<* rest under the suspi cion that -thousand* of her citizens engaged in illegal voting. A thor ough and impartial sifting of ail clmrges of fraud and punishment of tbbse who are guilty is the lirst obli gation which the executive commit ted owes the party. oramG OF SCHOOL.

The following appeal has been sent out by the management of the Epworth Or phanage : Epworth Orphanage, SVtlumhin ? n 9-5-19. Saturday, September the 28th, will be Work Day in South Carolina for the or phanages in the State.
