; WEDNESDAY, JUNE 29,1904.
Hon. L. J. Williams, unbam
. pered by the peculiar conditions
that existed in tho recent short
congressional campaign, is now in
tho race to wiu, using every legiti
mate means to land the coveted
prize. In the two months tbatlie
before him he will visit every nook
aud corner in the district, grasp
ing nearly every voter by the
hand. He expects his Edgefield
friends to battle bravely for him.
> The gall some papers exhibit is
exasperating. They steal every
thing and credit nothing. It is
amusing to see an editorial column
brimming full of hits and bits of
wisdom-not credited. Nobody
steals from us, we have nothing to
steal, but tho way some pap?is
and writers are done is sad to be
hold. If we borrow, we credit,
Batesburg Advocate.
. There is much truth in the fore
going. On our desk now are pa
pers whose editors credit very few
of the many thoughts of others
which they have appropriated to
their own use. This is "stealing
in the bread open daylight."
; We are pleased to know that a
branch of the W. C. T. U. has been
firmly plantea in Edgefield.
Christian womeu can collectively
accomplish certain ends that as
individu?is it would bc idle to
undertake. Combatting intem
perance is not the only work that
receives the attention of the W. C.
T. U. The national organization
Has taken steps.to prevent couutry
girls from going to St. Louis to
seek employment during the ex
position, bei?g lured there by de
signing persons, also to prevent
those who do go from entering
forbidden paths.
. women of Charleston who desired
| to take an advanced college course
knocked for admission into the
College of Charleston, asking that,
it be made a co-educational insti
tution. This request was not grant
ed. Now the youi.g women are
again agitating the matter, sug
gesting that an annex be added to
the college for the special benefit
of women. This request is reason
able and proper, and we can see
no good reason why it should not
be acceded to. At present Char
leston has no female school with a
high standard, consequently after
completing the course in the city
schools the young women are com
pelled to go elsewhere if they
"drink deep of the Pierian spring."
This is a reflection upon a city |
of Charleston's size.
We are a great believer in edu
cating-thoroughly, not superfi
cially-the women of the country
who are to become the mothers of
the generations yet unborn. What
power und?r heaven can measure
the influence of an educated,
Christian mother? The easiest
and most effective way to educate
young women is by removing every
obstacle and placing the oppor- j
tunity at their very doors.
For many decades South Caro
lina proudly boasted of the purity
of her ballot box but in recent
years in some sections question
able methods of securing votes
have been adopted, which, very
naturally, have resulted in the
practice of fraud at the ballot box
It is encouraging to see that in
some counties-notably Saluda
and Richland-every precaution is
being used to stamp out corrupt
campaigning and fraud in elec
tions. A strenuous effort will be
made to enforce the law against
treating with liquor near voting
precinte. Even the Richland ex
ecutive committee has gone so far
as to require candidates to sign a
: pledge to the effect that they will
jx, ?ecure votes by certain ques
tionable means, furthermore re
quiring them to file a sworn state
ment with the committee giving!
each item of their campaign ex
pense iu detail. This may not
check the evils abov9 referred to
: but will curtail them to 6ome ex
tent. Upon the whole the great
est satisfaction comes in knowing
that those in authority in the party
ranks are endeavoring to do their
fall duty iu the premises; ?nd in
;SO doing they will receive the co
operation of every ingenucus citi
Zf o.
A rate war between the trans
itlajutic steamship compauk s has
rought the steerage passage from
)urope down to less than ten dol
ar8. As a result thousands upon
housauds of very undesirable
migrants have landed upon
American soil. While we need au
nflux of thrifty citizens through
>ut South Carolina, it is to be
loped that our immigration com
nission will offer no inducements
;o this worthless class.
The ciiizenB who stand for law
and order in Aiken county are in
dignant over the flagrant miscar
riage of jus! ice in tho acquittal of
Lee Green for killing Abram
Surasky, a peddler. Despite the
usual finding of toe jury, "not
guilty," there are many who be
lieve that the defendant was guilty
of committing a murder most foul.
It is just such acquittals that lead
men to look distrustiugly upon
the courts of justice, causing them
oftentimes to take the law in their
own hands.
The man who will sell bi? vote
for a bottle of beer, a drink of
mean liquor or a few paltry dollars
is not worthy to" be called au
Ameiican citizen aud should be
forever deprived of the right of
suffrage. Of the aspirant to office
who will employ such means to
make his election sure, what shall
we say ? He should be beaten
with many stripes and placed
where his corrupting influence will
uot extend beyond the four walls
of the penitentiary.
