IMPRACTICABLE, 8AY8 JONES. State Chairman Says Another PH. mary 1? Out of thc Question. Columbia, Dec. 2.-Gen. Wilie Jones, State Democratic chairman, thinks tnat the suggestion to elect delegates to the National Convention in a primary ls Impracticable and too expensve. He ls In favor the the prims ry system, but he does not think it can be well applied to the election of delegates to the National Democratic Convention. "We would have to hold this pri mary in May or June," said Gen. Jones, "as the National Convention meets the first week in July, nnd we could not possibly select the nomi nees for State officers at that time. lt would be too far ahead of Hie elec tion, and would not give any time for a campaign. As a result, in the Presidential election years, we would have to have two primaries, one In June to elect delegates to the Na tional Convention, and one In August for the purpose of electing State offi cers. "Now the expenses of the primary in August are paid out of the funds raised by the assessments on the candidates, but how would you pay the expenses of the primary In June? No man is going to he willing to be assessed for the honor of being a delegate to the National Convention, because lt costs every delegate a good deal to make tho trip anyway. It would not be fair to assess this ex pense on the candidates for State Officers. I do not see how we would raise the money. The State Con vention, ns we now have it, costs the party practically nothing. "It costs a good deal to conduct a primary in this State now," con tinued Mr. Jones. "In most of the counties the managers of election are paid $1 or $2 a day each,and in the counties like Spartanburg. Orange burg, and some others, where there are fifty or more precincts, the pay of managers alone, for the first and second primaries, amounts to over JIMMI. This expense ls paid hy the county committees. In addition the expense of the State committee In getting In the returns and holding the meetings, before and after the primary,amounts to several thousand dollars each election year, and I tell you the expenses amount up to fig ures that would surprise those who are not familiar with them. This year we just had a small amount left over because of the extra expense of getting the returns during the flood. "If there were n primary for dele gates, the managers would have to be paid, perhaps for two primaries, and the State committee would have to meet and decide contests and de clare the results, and lt would cost a good deal of money. Who would pay for it?" "Perhaps Mr. Bryan would be will ing to stand the expense," suggested the impertinent reporter, but Gen. Jones only smiled. The cost of conducting a primary election in tills State under the pres ent system is about $l.r>,0U0. There are, in round numbers, over one thousand precincts, and with three managers to each precinct, ?it two dollars a day each, the pay of man agers alone amounts to $6,000 or more. The printing of tickets for one primary amounts to six or seven hundred dollars. The expenses of committee meetings, securing and tabulating returns, and other snell items, have to bo counted in. If a second primary is held the expense is practically doubled. As already stated the greater part of this ex pense if borne by the county organi zations, which assess the candidates amounts sufficient to meet these ex penses. EDWARD CALLAS IN TENNESSEE. Has Been Traveling Through Georgia and Other States. Chattanooga. Tenn.. Nov. .10.-Ed itor Keowee Courier: Since I left South Carolina I have visited many points In Georgia. One of the first points I visited was Tallulah Falls, which was very Interesting to me. I spent a few days in Gainesville also, which appears to be a thriving town. I found the people all clever and nice to me. I went from there across Lumpkln county Into Dawson county, where 1 visited relatives for several days. During the time 1 was there my cousin drove with me down the Ettawa river, where we viewed the excellent fnrms along that stream. I then went to the Ettawa gold mines, the operation of which was very in teresting indeed to me. I saw them washing the mud out of the blanks With their wonderful water power. I spent one day at Dawsonville. which is the county seat of Dawson county. It is only a small town, but looks ns though lt is a healthy place, being on a high ridge. The day befo ve I left that section 1 visited an obi camp ground, where>the people gather and hold their camp meetings. This was of no little interest to nie, as I had never visited a place of the kind before. My next stop was In Atlanta, where I found many points of Interest to me. After spending a few days in that city I came to Chattanooga, and I have now been here for a little over three weeks. I find this a very In teresting place. The next day after I came here I walked out to the Ten nessee river, which ls quite a large stream here. The bridge over which I crossed ls but a few feet less than a half mlle In length. While walk ing along the liver bank 1 saw sev eral boats gliding gracefully along some of them occupied by families, who make ther homes on the river in these house boats. Not many Oconee people, I suppose, would like homes of that kind. The most Interesting thing, however, that I have seen here is the glass works. I watched them making bottles-all sizes, from the big gallon ones down to the tiny lit tle fellows that remind one of a drug store. I also visited the iron foundry and watched the process of pouring the molten metal into molds, making large pipe 10 and 12 inches through and from 12 to If? feet long. Every thing seemed to go on like clock work. I also went into the boiler V/AS JESUS A JEW BY RACE ? Strange Theory of an American I?ro fessor-"Horn at Nazareth." (London Express.) Wns Jesus a Jew by race? This was the remarkable question raised by Prof. Paul Haupt of the Johns Hopkins University, Haltimore, in a paper read at the International Con gress on the History of Religions at Oxford. Briefly stated, Prof. Haupt's theory ls that Jesus wns a Galilean, that He was born at Nazareth, and not In Hethlehem, and that the Galileans wero not Jews by race, but had been forced to become Jews by religion. "The founders of Christianity were Galileans," he said. "Jesus' first dis ciples, Peter and his brother, Andrew, as well as the two sons of Zebldee, James and John, were Galilean fish ermen. "Canon Cheyne has remarked In his 'Kncyclopaedla B?blica' that 'Prof. Percy Gardiner has well said, Accord ing to all historical probability, Jesus of Nazareth was born at Naza reth.' " "The tradition that Jesus was a descendant of David and was born at Bethlehem, was not original," con tinued Prof. Haupt. "The census re ferred to In the second chapter of the third Gospel took place In the year 7 A. D., that is at least ll years after the Nativity. There was no imperial assessment till Judea had been made an imperial province, nor would the people have been assessed at their ancestral homes, as ls suggested In the words 'And all went to be taxed, every one Into his own city.' "Moreover. Mary would not have been required to accompany Joseph. Jesus Himself referred to the belief that the Messiah was to be a son of David as an opinion of the Pharisees. "The later tradition which endea vored to harmonize the life of Jesus with the alleged Messianic prophecies In the Old Testament was a conces sion to Jewish expectations or pre- i judices." Prof. Haupt then proceeded on a long ethnological argument purport- i lng to show that the population of Galilee was not Jewish, but Aryan. He pointed out that in the post-exile introduction to the poetic glorifica tion of the ideal King in the ninth chapter of the Hook of the Prophet Isaiah, Galilee was called the district "of the nations," In other words, of the Gentiles. He stated that by historical evi dence all the Jews in Galilee were re moved In 164 B. C. "But in 103 B. C.." continued Prof. Haupt, "the eldest son and successor of the great Maccabean conqueror. John Hyrcanua Aristobulus, the first king of the Jews, whose coronation was glorified in the second Psalm, Judalsed Galilee. He forced the In habitants to accept circumcision and the Mosaic law. "Since the time the Galileans were Jews by religion, but not Jew by race. The Jews looked down on them, and the dialect of the Galileans betrayed their non-Jewish extraction. Prof. Haupt concluded tims that it was by no means certain that Jesus and the Galilean fishermen, who were invited by Him to become fishers of men, were Jews by race. They may have been, not Semites, by Aryans. A vigorous discussion followed Prof. Haupt's paper. George Calderon wanted to know on what system the anthropology of Prof. Hafipt's paper was based. What did he mean by Aryan and Semite'' There was no such thing as an Aryan race. "Jesus was a Jew by religion and nationality," he continued. "The Jews had incorporated a number of races lu the course of their history, and nobody who has examined them anthropologically can maintain that they are of one type." Prof. Haupt replied that he would not discuss any racial questions, ad ding: "I will simply ask, in reply, whether a mjgro, who becomes a member of the Church of England, thereby becomes an Anglo-Saxon?" Dr. Whitehouse said that, as Jesus was acclaimed to be the Messiah, how was lt possible that He was not of Jewish descent? Dr. Haupt replied that If Jesus had not come from a family of Nazareth, then the Jews would not have had such a poor opinion of Nazareth, which they showed when they said: "Can any good come out of Naza reth?" Dr. Barkett observed that every body had a mixed ancestry, and that three generations of a particular domination were sufficient to Instill all prejudices and traditions of race Into anybody. Dr. Gaster said that If there had been any taint of proselyte's blood In Jesus there would have been no hesitation on the part of the Jews in repudiating the claim of Jesus to be of royal descent. They made all sorts of accusations against Him at the time of the crucifixion, but none that he was of foreign descent. Prof. Haupt said that he left lt to thc faith and common sense of his hearers to draw their own conclu sions from his scientific theories. making department, where the men were making some boilers larger ' than any I had ever seen. This surely must be what they call a wet town. There are f>7 saloons and about as many wholesale liquor bouses. 1 have many times seen ex press wagons-very large ones at that-with all they could carry. I see them hauling whiskey by the load In barrels, and yet I have not seen a single man down dog-drunk. The local laws, however, are respon sible for that, I suppose. No bar keeper ls allowed to Fell liquor to a man who ls Intoxicated. In case of violation of this law the bar-keeper's license is revoked. I would be glad to hear from any of my friends In Oer.nee. My health was vory bad for the first two or three weeks after I left, but since I came to Chattanooga I have been considerably better. Respectfully, Edward Callas. 2381? East Main street.

De i ie 11 dc nt on the Past. At the courts a case concerning motor driving was being heard, when the chauffeur declared that when driving at forty miles an hour he could, if necessary, pull up in ten or twelve feet. "I'm!" said the judge. Then the next witness-an expert -gave lils evidence. Said his lordship: "If a motorcar were traveling at forty miles an hour, and the brakes could be put on in .-nuil a manner as to stop it within ten or twelve feet, where would the driver go?" "Depends very much on the sort of life he'd been living," said the txpert._ Does the Baby Thrive If not. something must be wrong with its food.

Governor Magoon spoke in the highest terms of the ability of the Cubans to govern themselves.

Bank clerks naturally and neces sarily rectuire satisfactory Identifica tion of persons who ask to have checks cashed. The same rule ls followed in Hie post office by clerks who cash money orders; but what the nature of the Identification will be, and by whom, is a matter which rests to some extent in the discretion of the clerk. The Boston Herald tells a story in which a dog bore witness to his master's identity. A Boston business man called at the postal order department the other day to get an order cashed, but the clerk In attendance had only recently been appointed. He said the caller would have to be Identified before payment could be made. "Why, I have had hundreds of or ders cashed here," he replied, with a show of impatience. "Isn't tn^re some one here who knows me?" "I'm the only one on duty just now. The others are out to lunch eon," said the clerk. "Will you take the inscription on my dog's collar as sufficient identifi cation?" was asked. "Yes, that will be acceptable." The man whistler for lils terrier, and taking him in his arms, "boost ed" him up to the window. The clerk read the name and address on the collar and paid the order.
