At iotervals there has appeard articles in the columns of acme of our contemporaries in wbicb the writers have attacked the present primary system of nominating candidates for political offices and expressed a desire to return to the old convention plan. None of them, however, contained a single tangible reason why the primary should be supplanted by the convet ti< n plan. R-volotions never gob ok ward, they are p- yre-sive, going forward as the bauds mark off the seconds upon the dial of the clock. As the primary is the legitimate offspring of the great political revolution of 1890, to make an exception of this would be reversing the truth of history and making a nullity of the eternal fitDess of things. The convention plan of nominating candidates for political office has served its day; accomplished the purposes which called it into existence and must now remain a memory of the dead past. Under its workings the prerogatives of the elector were delegated to representatives and as they decided so was the elector, like dumb beast led to the slaughter, bound and was compelled to give \ support to men and measures which his judgment told him were incompetent in the first instance and in the second unsound in principle.. Iu the days of the convention plan the elector was the slave and the politician the master. By the manipulation of wires, the intrigue of cliques and the formation of rings the trickery politician was enabled to crack the parly lash and whip into line the recalcitrant elector whose sense of principle and love of truth, justice and decency forced him to protest against the mandates of the bosses. Merit and fitness were but small fac tors in making nominations and abject compliance and strict obedience to the will and wishes of those who pulled the wires were the only open sesames to office. The exercise of independence and manhood was not thought of, the prevailing idea being a state of political serfdom for the masses, and the dissatisfaction at the intolerance of the bosses was the fuel which fed the flames, kindled and fanned by Tillman's burning and scathing denunciations, made the success of the revolution possible. A return to the convention plan means simpiy a return to the degrading and debasing methods from which we have been relieved. The primary plan of making nominafmn Jo Kr nn mosriQ norfo/>t Thorp iUBiiVU AO MJ uv UIVMW0 |/v**vvv* AMVAW | are maDy defects which needs to be rectified; many improvements can be made to advantage. The system at present in force is too cumbersome and unweildly. While it is not asking too much for the candidates to appear before the people whose suffrage they seek but at the sametime it is a costly and expensive undeitaking and a luxury in which the rich can only afford to indulge iD. The legitimate campaign expenses of a candidate cannot be much, under a hundred dollars, the probability is that it will exceed this sum and from this fact alone many a poor but deseiviDg man is prevented from making the race for a State office. He simply hasn't the money to spare to make the canvass of the State. To remedy this evil or hardship is deserving the closest and most thoughtful attention of the State Democratic Executive Committee. It is idle to talk about abolishing the system and it is as equally idle to think of abridging the campaign meetings so as to nrovide for one meeting in each Cjn * gressional District, for doing this the essential principle of the primary system is destroyed. The electors and the candidates have a light to demand that meetings be held in each county?the candidates to express their views on political issues and to seek votes, the electors to hear and from the hearing they can intel ligently use the priceless gift of an elective franchise to the best interest of the State. The pjrotccnical display this year at the State Fair will piobably be the "Battle of Manila." The reproduction of this brilliant naval engagement will probably attract thousands of people from all over the State. It is said to be Pains' masterpiece and is magnificent in conception; pleasirg in effect, and in startling faithfulness the battle is portrayed. It is proposed also to have the 3,000 Unite d States soldiers to be stationed at Columbia take part in the military ard civic parade. This fair will be by krg cdds the best cue ever held in that city. MaDy citizens of Dublin, Ireland, "were the ivy" on the 9th inst, to commemorate the anniversary of the death of Charles Stewart Parnell * the great Irish agitator and statesman. ?The nivstery jof life and death has puzzled many a wise man. The alchemists of |old searched in 'vain for some combination of drups that would prolong life indefinite A) J ly- Comm?n Y Uijvjti f sense, chemisSS^JA / .\[jk A try and medical *s\[ ll/irp^' ' science have -^7/ Hvj^> combined in this age to 6how man the way to a long and healthy life.. Common sense teaches that a man should not over-work or over-worry; that he should take ample time for his meals, for resting and for recreation and sleep; that he should not neglect the little ills of life, because they are the precursors of serious and fatal maladies. Chemistry has enabled men to make combinations of drugs that were impossible in the days of the alchemists. Sledical science has taught when, how and why these combinations of drugs should be used. Dr. Pierce's Golden Medical Discovery is the most valuable of all healthrestoring medicines, and the most effective. Its first work is upon the fountain-head of life?the stomach. A wan who has a weak and impaired stomach and who docs not properly digest his food will soon find that his blood has become weak and impoverished, and that his whole body is improperly and insufficiently nourished. This medicine makes the stomach strong, facilitates the flow of digestive juices, restores the lost appetite, makes assimilation per- j feet, invigorates the liver and purifies and enriches the blood. It is the great bloodmaker, flesh-builder and nerve tonic. It makes men strong in body, active in mind and cool in judgment. It does not make flabby fat, but solid, muscular flesh, nerve force and vital en- j ergy. All medicine dealers sell it J. W. Jordan. Esq., of Corbin. Whitley Co., Ky.. writes ; " About two and a half years ago I was taken with severe pains in the chest, be gan to spit up blood, was troubled with nightsweats and was so short winded that I could hardly walk half a mile. Tried Dr. Pierce's Golden Medical Discovery and have improved both ia strength and weight." The medicine dealer who urges some substitute is thinking of the larger profit he'll make and not of your best good. They now call it "yellowoicT fever in New Oileans. Cotton does not pay the actual cost of labor, thinks the Chester Lantern. The Edgefield Chronicle says that one great trouble with the South is that it buys too much and sells too little. Mark Hanna has denied the report that he intended giving up the management of the National Republican Executive Committee. The House of Representatives of this State will contain eighty new members at the next session and the Senate sixteen. Artillery private Greenwald was shot and iostantly killed by a sentry 5 ' i? ?

The uprising of the Red Men has about been quelled, excitement subsided and business revived. The members of the United States Evacuation Commission gave an elaborate luncheon last week to the members of the Spanish Commission at Havana. The centre piece on the table was a large bouquet of flowers of the colors of the Spanish national banner. Major Generals Wade and Butler did the honors of the occasion. The Second South Carolina regiment is under orders to move to the camp at Savannah It will be in the first brigade and in the first division, an Illinois regiment alone precedes our boys in get tiDg away to Havana, A petition bag been numerously signed by State officials andprominent business men of Cjlumbia askiog Colonel Wilie Jones to resign the command of the regiment as his services ate needed in the business circles of Columbia. Senator Tillman has shouldered the responsibility of baviDg the First regiment mustered out. He said that he bad received so maDy appeals from the mothers, wives and sisters of the men to use his good offices to have the regiment disbanded that he interested himself and as the result the mustering out was practically agreed to before the arrival at the war department of the petition of the men themselves.

The several colleges in the State opened their fill term with most excellent prospects. The people more than ever appreciate the bless ings of education. They are making sacrifices to send their sons and daughters to college. A sweet little flower in the person of a babe was plucked by the angel of death from the home of Mr. R. S. Price, near Piiceville, on the 5th inst., and is now shedding the richness of its fragrance in the beautiful garden of God. Lexington is undoubtedly the healthiest place in the State.
