The Columbia State thinks that , the primary may be of benefit to the people of the state still, notwithstand ing the experiences we have had in the past. The argument now advanc ed in favor of the primary is that it will preserve white supremacy in the r. state, and prevent any party from looking to the negro vote for support. We think the negro question in this state now greatly over-estimated as an issue or question to be consid- * c ered. No party which had resort to'L the negro^vote could succeed in! _ *!,:/ ;a South Carolina, and none which | e / , , deserved to succeed would have re-it V V ' r ' ' ' , m I sort to that source. No party now j 0 * / [ 3 has resort to the negro vote. A few; I r individuals in South Carolina who! ^ ,c want political office for themselves1 consort with negroes in matters po litical in order to further their own j ^ ends, but they do not constitute a 11 party and never will. We doubt in-jt deed whether they desire to See any j _ more of a Republican party in this t state than is now here, because if i j. other men came into the party there I _ ' I would be fewer positions to be filled i v by those who now direct matters for! . V : th? ao-called Republican party. | Be that as it may, and returning to j | jU- ' the suggestions of The State, we no-' tice that the suggestion is made that vi factions amongst the white people might with advantage to the state s?\ '' ^, '' *' ' /'a nominate candidates for office in cbn- { ventioas, and then have all issues * settled in the white primary. in jc other words the white primary is to ? become a kind of general election e and the candidates of the different t factions are to be preferred or re jected by it, and the nominee thus ^ insured the entire white vote of the pSople of the state. . g We have no objection to that We ? % ' c favor the plan if the proposition made r carried with it the idea that in the white primary a candidate standing r on any platform, or advocating any a policy of government may run. But c if tke candidates and other in the white primary are to be required to r ? subscribe to an oath that they are j democrats, that they will support the t nominee* pf the party state and NA a TIONAL, whatever the platform and whoever the candidate, with tly nom ination of which latter they have nothing to do, we hardly think all the white people of the state can be ^ kept within the party. If on the other j nana, we are to nave a wnue man s 5 party and are not to be bound by t the platform of any other political party nor required to support its nominees for national offices, then we ' think the whole of the white people / ' * * " * V * ' i , of the state may well come into the 1 ' party- We have a good many people in this state, we imagine, who be lieve in a protective tariff of some 1 sort. The national democratic party does not stand for a protective tariff, its platform repudiates a protective ( tariff; and the candidate which is 1 named for president is against a pro- ' tective tariff. Now it is apparent that ? if a man who is really for a protective ( tariff is to vote consistently, he must * either have the right to advocate a ( protective tariff in the primary, votej for candidates who agree with h;m ' on that issue, if it is an issue, or ' he may not be a member of the party ' in South Carolina. ( We would like to know the views ' t>f The State on these matters. ( Should the primary in South Caro- ^ lina, according to its view, to be a ' democratic primary (adhering to the J principles of the national demo- 1 cratic party) or is it to be a white mast's primary in whi<ih all white men 1 irt tke state, of whatever political jJ persuasions ? .d beliefs, may be a part? : 3 / / ISK COOPERATION IN MAIL SEMI In order that the rural mail sej rice may be improved, the pos >ftice department has sent out tfc following appeal for the coopert ;ion of patrons: "By direction of the Post Offic Department, postmasters througl >ut the country have recently mac in inspection of" the rural rout< rom their offices. The purpose wj hat they might ascertain by pec onal observation and make repoi whether the roads used were i :ood condition for traveJ, tl: outes well arranged, boxes propel y erected, so as to be easily read >d by the carriers without difficult ind without obstructing travel, th arriers serving their routes as off ially prescribed, the schedule ot erved, and whether the familie evrved were satisfied with the sei ice rendered, or there were in irovements which could be suggesl d in the interest of the patrons c he Department. "jit 'becmo necessary, in conne< ion with the ' inspections, to r? [uest many patrons to take actio o the end that their boxes migli onform with the regulations &8 t ind, condition, location, or heigh nd in havjng the name of the owr r plainly printed on them. Alsc o bring to the attention of roa verse>ers or other responsible pei ons the need for improvement i oads or repair or construction o ulverts or bridges. So, patrons of rural deliver an greatly help themselves b telping their carrier, seeing to i hat roads are kept in good cond; ion _ and promptly opened, afte torms, by keeping the approache o their boxes clear, and by prompl y and willingly correcting any ii egularities affecting their box? vhen asked to do so. "Another great assistance tha atrons can render carriers is |d ceeping themselves supplied wit ind using stamps instead of placin mstamped mail, with money fc he purchase of the required pos tge,. in the boxes. This delays th :arrier and sometimes iipposes ;rcat hardship on him, especially 1 :old or stormy weather. If prefei id, stamped envelopes, either prin d or plain, may be obtained froi he carrier, are of good qualit; ind cost but little more than th ralu& of the stamps upon them, an ?n/lnnT?oK1a of tlio VolllP nf tl tamps if damaged, but returned i t practically whole condition. ] tecessajy to place money in a bo: t should be put in a coin-holdin eceptacle or be properly wrappfi o as to be easily picked up by th arrier. "Money for the purchase c noney orders should not be lei n the boxes, but should be hande o the carrier and a receipt obtaii d." REGULAR CONVOCATION There will be a regular convoct ion of.
