ARE YOU ENROLLED? ,
} Our attention is called to the factj
that a good many people who want to j
vcte in the democratic primaries are (
enrolling in districts other than their',
own. They are making a mistake as
no one can be allowed to vote in any .
district except the one in which he j
resides. The law is plain on this.
Even though a person is enrolled in ,
the wrong district he is stiii not en- .
t.tled to vote there, and should he be ,
cllnwpH to vote in the wrone district j
^ he
could only do so by swearing that ;
he is entitled to vote there, which be- :
r irsg untrue, would make him liable to j
inditment for perjury.
There are some hardships in all :
lews, and there are some reasons why ,
people sometimes find it inconvenient 1
to abide by the spirit of the law, but (
all these restrictions are Tor the j
common good. The represeniatives j
of the democratic party have found ]
them necessary in order to preserve ,
the primary, and all of us should be j
willing to suffffer the necessary in- j
conveniences in order to see that the j
elections are fairly and properly con- ,
ducted. ' !,
We,'therefore, advise those people j
who have registered in the wrong \
districts to correct the mtstaite made \
i>y registering in their own districts j
and by having their names erased ]
from the rolls of the other districts, j
The matter should be attended to at j
once. )
The enrollment eommittees in the ,
several districts should at the same i
time take note of the law to the end <
i that no ^person 4>e allowed to enroll <
'j his flame in a district where, he does j
not reside, and where he is not en- <
f i , 1 1
titled to vote. These committees, we i
know, have no desire to violate the ^
primary election laws, but if. they t
' should allow a voter to enroll in a j
district where he should not be en- >
rolled they will not only violate the t
law but they jeopardize the rigbt of
, the voter to cast his ballot on elec- c
I

if he actually votes there his vote e
may he challenged and thrown out, v
r the election may be declared so
irregular as to make another race l;
necessary, should the votes for can- v
didates for a particular office be s
close. j n
There is nothing better to do than t
to obey the law. That is the oniy safe p
course in anfthing. n

' SPEAKING OF PANEGYRICS p
\ y ?? .
"Of the thousands of panegyrics
written about Wilson" said an Abbe\
e
ville man yesterday, "here's one in
the New Orleans paper that flows
like a river of light on to a great effulgence
that j,t is not given to man y
to define." This is it. j?
"^'To the Editor of the Times-Pica- 1

yun*: !
"From the quiver of the cruel and
... . e
r.cornful are unsheathed the poisoned
ai: ows of invective and reproach and
i'rom whose putrid lips drips the lep-'
rosy of slander used maliciously against
the President cf our country,
b\* some cockatrice in human form"
whose fetid breath would pollute the c
maw of hell. It causes our olood to t
boil with rebellion and the purple 11
passion of patriotism revolts with an r
imperial disdain. Speech cannot con- t
tain our sovereign hate for these hu- v
man misfits who should be '"sent
back to nature's mint and reissued v
as a counterfeit on humanity of na- t
ture's baser metal." H? wno proved t
the mighitest intellect that ever
swayed the destinies of man or grac- (
ed the mighty tide of time. Who bade i
the American eagle to plume his s
wings and wing his flight beyond far r
seas and match his talons with the j
strength of the beast. Who crushed <
Prussian autocracy and established t
the sacred tenets of -democracy. Who <

j RACE FOR SENATE i p
. , ie
W. P. PolldSf(4 Cheraw yestor- j
day filed his pledge and paid his as-jv
sessment fee a?.a candidate for the j ^
United States senate. He is the ; n
fourth entrant, E. D. Smith, present j \
incumbent; George Warren, of!e
Hampton and W. C. Irby, of Lau- r
rens, having previously filed their p
pledges. Mr. Pollock served three jj
months in the United States senate n
in 1918-19, finishing out the unex- c
pired term of the late Senator Tillman.
In making his announcement, F
Mr. Pollock said:
"1 have decided to enter the race .
L u I tilt: vjiiitcu loiacs acuaic umo
summer and shall give expressions g
to my views on the questions of the j(
day at the several campaign meet- j w
ings. I feel confident that the na- r
tional Democratic convention which If
meets this month in San Francisco' a
I
will adopt a platform of principles J j
and policies in the interest of the 10
?reat masses of the people, and1
that all true Democrats can stand f,
upon the platform, as every candi- p
iate for the senate in this state \ t]
must, I feel confident that the par- r,
ty will take no backward steps, but
that it will advise wisrfy for the p
present and will sugge&h proper
measures for the. futcre gped of the p
peoplte of .the country. that'"
platform I shall stand.' n
"I wish to express to the people!
i>f South Carolina my profound p
gratitude for the honor that' they w
conferred upon me two years ago in g
sleeting me. to fill out the .unexpired
term of : the late lamented ft
Senator Tillman, and I ' look for- S1
vard with nleasnre t.n mpptinir .
igain this summer ' and thanking s,
;hem personally for their kindness,
My term for threee months' service e]
vas so short that I could not expect
-o make a record commensurate
vith the honor done me, but I
rave the opportunity of serving
or one full'term at least ii* the gi
enate, where I believe, is the great- gi
st field particularly for real' ser- ice
to mankind.
"I can not and will not spend
arge sums of money in connection
/ith my campaign, and for that reaon
I have no headquarters nor
tianager and cannot carry en a leter
writing and advertising camiaign.
I shall appeal in t person to
ly fellow ci izens, standing upon
ny chiiracti-r ana fitness for the
iosition.
"To my many friends throughout
he state, many of whom have ask- 1
d me to make this race, I would
ay I appreciate your kindness and
onfidence. I can not win without
our vote and assistance, so I ask
very Democrat in South Carolina,
f you can do so consistently with
our sense Qf-jhrty,) to vote for me
nd work for'me, and if I am electd
my whole life shall be devoted
o the betterment and upbuilding
f our common country*"
No Mercy for Pistol Carriers
l
.ft the court of sessions in this !
ounty, adjpurned last Thursday,
wo men, negroes, were convicted of
nurder; one of them will spend the
qst of his life in prison at hard lakor
and the other in a few weeks
vill die in the electric chair.
These men killed their victims
vith pistols which, in defiance of j
he law, they carried concealed on |
ntsii pciauno. j
The juries were evidently of j
jpinion that a man carrying a pistol
n cfefiance of law takes the first
;tep towards committing murder,
rhe juries in future may be defended
on to hold that one guilty
jf thus carrying a pistol will have
:o present a powerful case of selflefense
to be excused for taking
life.
The man who is to be electrocuted j
ractically committed suicide when
e put the "gun" in his pocket.
Ivery other man who "totes a gun"
1 these days and times thereby
laces his life in a thousand times
lore danger from law' than he
> in from assailants.
The people are aroused on this
abject. The juries are from the
eople. They intend to show no
nercy to the pistol carriers. They inend
'to'^end Wfert?,;to:therckaicswhen
he opportuity offers. That is to be
be rule in Richland county anyway
'hugs and ruffians will not be al>wed
to go about the streets of
lolumbia, with deadly weapons on
heir persons,; to the peril of lawbiding
citizens, white anc black,
nd the conditions are such that no
lemecy, we think, m&y be hoped
rom the governor and the board of
iarlors unless the circumstances be
xtraordinary.
The people who carry pistols
rould better take the warning. If
hey shoot and kill they pre to have
lighty little chance for their lives.
resterday a negro woman was find
by the recorder $100 for carying
a concealed pistol and the
mnishment was none too heavy. Tc
npose it was a kindness to lier. It
lay save her from the 'electric
hair.?The State.
RESIDENT'S DAUGHTER
BORROWS TEN CENTS
New York, June 20.?Miss Mararet
Wilson, daughter of the preslent,
discovered she was "broke"
rhile riding on a Fifth Avenue bus
ecently and borrowed -ten cents
rom a conductor to pay her fare,
ccording to the current issue of
!us Lines, the bus company's peridical.
She mounted the bus at Thirtyourth
street and Fifth avenue and
roferred a coin to H. G. Lynch,
tie conductor. He looked at it and
emarked: .
"I am sorry Miss, but that's a
enny, not a dime."
The young woman searched her
urse and then embarrassed, "'said:
I'm afraid I must get off that peny
is all I have."
"Remain where you are," relied
the conductor, tyho was ' unaware
of her *.identity. "I will be
lad to lend you ten eents."
She accepted his offer and took
is name. A few days later he was
arprised to receive a nofce written
n White House stationery >- .and
igned' 'Margaret Woodrow Wilson'
inking him for the courtesy * and
nclosing a dime."
