Scraps and Jacts. ? St. Puul. Minn., May 14: The Democrats today formally indorsed Governor John A. Johnson as the presidential candidate and at the same time by a vote of 772 to 166 refused to declare in favor of William Jennings Bryan as second choice. The delegates elected were instructed for Johnson. The platform adopted insists on the tariff being revised at once; says strict supervision and control of the great industrial corporations is necessary for the continued welfare of the American people; that demands of labor for reasonable hours of work should be granted; compulsory adoption of safety appliances in connection with dan 1, ? . liahilUir 5fi uus ciupiuj menu, uaumv laws; Income tax; postal savings banks and safeguarding bank deposits along the lines suggested by William Jennings Bryan. ? Awards have just been made for supplies for the warships now in San Francisco harbor. The supplies will start the vessels of the Atlantic fleet on their voyage across the Pacific next month. More than a million and a half pounds of meat are contracted for. This quantity will be made up of 800,000 pounds of frozen beef, 185,000 pounds of frozen veal and mutton, 150,000 pounds of pork loins, 40,000 pounds of young chickens, 5,000 pounds of turkeys, about 00,000 pounds of Frankfurters, pork sausages, bologna and compressed ham, and 250,000 pounds of smoked hams, 2,600,000 pounds of flour, 100,000 pounds of sugar. Of canned peaches, pears and tomatoes and evaporated apples, there will be laid in about 300,000 pounds. Vegetables, including potatoes, half million pounds, onions 50,000 pounds, 7,500 pounds of Lima beans and 300,000 pounds of sauerkraut. ? New York, May 13: Samuel H. Fullerton, the multi-millionaire, means to stand by his son, Robert, who was arrested on Saturday on a cnarge 01 aouucuon uy hvu iuir detectives and is now in San Francisco pending the outcome of habeas corpus proceedings for his release. Miss Gladys Hobart, a pretty school teacher, is the complainant against young Fullerton, and the affidavits in the case, geographically as well as legally, cover an amazing amount of ground?from the Pacific to the Atlantic, with Jamaica and a few South American ports thrown in. Young Fullerton and Miss Hobart were coeds at Cornell, graduating together in 1904. Miss Hobart's story, on which the abduction is based, is that Fullerton told her that he was to sail on the steamship Trent for South America on business for his father. Young Fullerton had the girl's promise to be at the dock next morning for a final goodbye. Miss Hobart reached the steamer half an hour before sailing time and was escorted to a quiet corner of the main saloon by her old college sweetheart. Fullerton, she alleges, proposed to her then and she said '"Yes." While they were talking the ship moved out. She alleges f hut TTi11 lortnn nrnmi?afl tn mnrrv hpr as soon as the ship made its first port. This he failed to do. ? Pittsburg, Pa., May 12: It was announced today that the United States Steel corporation expected that by July 15 or August 1 there would be in the Pittsburg district the greatest boom in iron and steel making ever known. Orders reached Pittsburg today which were transmitted to the superintendents and other officials in the Carnegie Steel company. They were briefly that those who intended taking vacations should do so at once; that after August 1 there would be no time for vacations. Another solid train of bridge material for a new coast railroad left Pittsburg last night, and investigation shows that within the last two or three weeks 150 cars of bridge work have been sent to the west. The structural mills are working overtime to keep up with railway construction of the far west. Grading was today started on two new railroads in the Pittsburg district. They are the Canton and East Liverpool, on the Ohio border, and the Ohio River Northern, which runs through the famous Ohio pottery district to the plant of the Midland Steel company, at Midland, Pa. Each will prove important freight roads. Business has opened up on the Wabash lines west of Pittsburg to such an extent that orders were issued today to open nine telegraph stations which have been closed for several months owing to lack of railroad business. ? Washington, May 12: Information having reached the postortlce department of certain methods by which the postal laws in regard to mailable and unmailable merchandise on rural routes have been evaded, Fourth Assistant Postmaster General Degraw has taken steps to prevent future evasions. Rural carriers are permitted to deliver as express matter for patrons of their routes, unmailable merchandise, and packages of mailable merchandise weighing in excess of four pounds. An example of the abuse of this privilege is that of a merchant who sent out by rural carrier as mail matter, u pair of shoes, to which he added a bag of salt to make the package overweight and to avoid paying postage, so that the carrier mieht carrv the nackage for him. In view of such abuses Mr. Degraw has issued the following statement: "All packages of merchandise to be sent out by rural carriers by merchants of the town should be presented at postoftices for inspection and in case it is found that extra matter not ordered by the patrons has been added to any mailable matter or package for the purpose of making such package of matter unmailable, postmasters should refuse to permit the carrier to carry any such matter or packages for hire outside of the mails, and rural carriers should not receive any mail matter from patrons as unmailable matter for hire which they suspect has been made unmailable by such devices as adopted by the merchant referred to." ? Shreveport, La., May 14: Thirty dead and 200 injured is a conservative estimate of the fatalities caused by the tornado which swept through northwest Louisiana yesterday evening, destroying three small towns and leaving wrecked homes and ruined crops in a path a mile wide and fifty miles long. The dead at Gilliam, which had about 200 inhabitants, number thirteen, while at Bollinger the known death list is six. These towns are about fifteen miles apart and nothing has been learned of the work of the storm in the country between. At Elmore, a small town near Gilliam, several houses were destroyed and it is not known how many people perished. Several of the dead were brought to Shreveport <>n the relief train from Gilliam this morning and the hospitals and sanatorlums are crowded with the injured, several of whom will die. The injured at Bollinger number about forty persons, some of whom have been brought here. Of these, it is believed that not more than three or four will die. Only two houses were left at Gilliam, where ti e force of the storm was greatest.- Of* the seven members of the Gardner family, none escaped without Injury. Mrs. Gardner was killed by the falling timbers of her home and the other members of the family were bruised under the debris, but were extricated. A flood of rain following the tornado made the work of rescue very difficult in the darkness. A relief train was sent to Gilliam from Shreveport last night and returned this morning at daylight, bringing several of the dead and many wounded. Another train was fitted out today and reached the stricken town this afternoon, but has not yet returned. Prompt steps have been taken to succor ail who are in need. ?hr }(orlirillc inquirer. Entered at the Postofflce In Yorkvillei as Mail Matter of the Second Class. YORKVILLE, S. C.: FRIDAY, MAY 15, 1908. Bi t if Hemphill and Gonzales are always pursuing sinister designs, why not" other people? Surely these two are not the only ones with selfish ambitions. We move that Senator Tillman t>e relieved of instructions to vote for Bryan, and that he be permitted to vote as he sees proper. This, of course, provided the senator goes as a delegate to Denver. The senate on Wednesday passed the house bill restoring the motto "In God We Trust" to coins of the United States. It will be remembered that the motto was some time ago left off the gold coins of the new design, with the approval of the president. That is a sensible communication that Capt. W. H. Edwards has written to the Columbia State on the subject of making registration a prerequisite to voting in the primaries. There is no good reason for present conditions and the people who have registration certificates should not be willing to stand for them any longer. The Charlotte Chronicle says that if Messrs. Finley and Lever secure the navigation of the Catawba river up to the York county line, North Carolina will see to it that the boat line does not stop short of Mt. Holly. We believe there is something in this. The people who are using the Catawba to turn the wheels of industry, will, if given half a show, also utilize it, to bear the fruits of their industries into the channels of commerce. Ok course, everybody knows that "you can't spin futures," and it looks like a pity too. Futures are so mucn lower in price than spots, and then they can be bought and sold with so much ease. Futures are booming up- I ward, and spots continue comfortable. They are not scared like futures. Of I course, futures can go to a price that | will move spots, and they will, no doubt. But there is no doubt of the fact that spots now control the situation. It is too bad that Senator Tillman should have seen proper to question the motives of the Columbia State in its booming of Mr. Bryan. People like the State and Senator Tillman, working to the same end with the same incentives, should not quarrel. In view of the magnitude of the task of carrying South Carolina for the Democratic nominee, whether he be Mr. Bryan or somebody else, all good Democrats should stand together. A quarrel between such factors as Mr. Tillman and the State might be fraught with great danger to party success. It does not follow that the man who believes that Cleveland can carry the country over all comers is necessarily a Cleveland man. That is merely a matter of judgment as to where the balance of the political sentiment and power in this country lays. There are people who recognize Mr. Cleveland's policy and platform as winners; but who would yield to defeat rather than secure victory along those lines. Mr. Cleveland himself chose defeat for the party rather than victory along lines) that he believed would be ruinous to the country. It is differences of this) kind that involve the whole essence of party government The bull speculators seem to have . ,n T11 Iv Jtnfl during some days past, they have had July cotton booming. There is not nearly so much speculation in the new crop months; but they have all advanced because of the strength of July. The price of cotton goods continues to decline and foreigners insist that trade conditions are not good abroad: but still it is conceded that European stocks of raw cotton are far short of what they were last year, and notwithstanding curtailed production there is danger of a serious shortage before the new crop comes in. The new itself Is also a matter of grave uncertainty. Tiik News and Courier consoles Itself with the reflection that Mr. Bryan is not an Ogdenite. Does the News and Courier know what Mr. Bryan's position is on the race problem in the south and elsewhere? Our impression is that Mr. Bryan has taken a firm stand on everything else except that, and that he has always dodged it throughout^ his long political career.? Anderson Daily Mail. Our recollection is that during the many things he said in his first campaign, Mr. Bryan expressed himself as being in favor of granting to every individual the fullest and freest exercise of the franchise. It sounded broad and generous: but the subject was not stressed. Since then it has seldom been referred to. The Mail should not spring matters like this at this time, anyway. Tim senate has been giving consideration for some days past to the case of Col. William F. Stewart of the I'nited States army, who is being punished by tiie president without atrial. In some way Col. Stewart has had the misfortune to make himself objectionable to his fellow officers, and the president is making' his life miserable. Col. Stewart was first told to choose between making an application for retirement and being sent to an abandoned post. He demanded a court of inquiry and the demand was met with orders to take charge of Fort Grant in a remote and deserted section of the west. He appealed to senatorial friends and when the senate took the matter up. tlie president claimed that he is supreme in matters pertaining to the army and navy. Senator Raynor of Maryland is trying to probe the matter to the bottom. The case is being compared to that of Capt. Dreyfus. Vox Populi, Vox Dei. "The voice of the people is the voice of God." Politicians who win out in elections are fond of giving utterance to this familiar quotation. It is hardly worth while to deny the truth of the proposition in a country like this. Most right thinking people are glad to believe that it is true, and really there ought to be very little doubt of it. But do not let us do violence to our ordinary common sense, and our sense of decency, by saying that elections always represent the voice of the people. It is only the most idealistic conception of course, that could picture every individual among the people being keenly conscious of the sacred significance and responsibility of the ballot and of using the ballot in accordance with such consciousness; but under such circumstances all would have to concede that the voice of the people is the voice of God. How many elections have ever been held in this country where each voter has sought to express in his ballot his honest judgment, regardless of every other consideration than the best interest of himself and his fellowmen? There may have been such elections, but we do not fear that many of our readers will try to hold that they are the rule rather than the exception. The rule in this country is that elections are controlled by a few designing individuals, or aggregations of individuals, who work together for selfish ends, and who deceive . or hoodwink the more innocent and honest mass of voters into the support of their designs. After the result of such elections are declared, we hear in exultant, brassy acclaim, "The voice of the people is the voice of God," and the echo in most honest hearts is, "the success of the political schemer is the triumph of the devil." But the voice of the people should be the voice of God. and it can be. All that is necessary is for every honest voter to recognize his responsibility and perform his duty in accordance with conscientious discrimination between right and wrong. Of course, even where all voters try to do only that which is right, many will make mistakes; but still under such circumstances "Vox Populi, Vox Dei" may be said of the final outcome. Tillman and Cleveland. If that Columbia correspondent, whoever he is, who quoted Senator Tillman as saying that if the Democrats had a Cleveland at this juncture, they could sweep the country so easily that it would be a shame to take the money, misrepresented the senator, he should not have done so. Senator Tillman says that August Kohn is the man who is guilty of the misrepresentation; but the Charlotte Observer which had the same story that was printed in the News and Courier, the Greenville News and other papers, says that its story did not come from Mr. Kohn, and at this writing the personality of the individual who is alleged to have misrepresented the senator has not been made known. We do not pretend to say whether Senator Tillman was really misrepresented. We confess that we were a little surprised to see him in the attitude of admitting the extent of the confidence that would be inspired by a candidate like Mr. Cleveland; but at the same time we were somewhat struck with the soundness of the sugcestinn Of course, Mr. Cleveland is out of the running. He is no longer to be considered as a possible candidate. He is too near the end of his career and the probability is that he would not be capable of discharging the duties of the presidency now, even if he should be inducted into office without the necessity of going through a campaign; but still there is a good deal in the suggestion under consideration, whether it came from Senator Tillman or not. Grover Cleveland stood for right, justice, law and order and liberty. He did not believe in the lawlessness of predatory wealth any more than President Roosevelt professes to believe in it. He did however, believe in the time sanctioned principle of ownership of honestly'acquired property, and he believed that the people who were able to honestly acquire property were better qualified than anybody else to administer the same. He had manhood, nerve and courage, and while he was a man of peace, he was not disposed to submit to the overbearing arrogance even of such a powerful empire as that of Great Rritain. In fact, without fighting, bluff or bluster, he was the first of our presidents to advertise to the nations of the earth that the United States is a world power of the first magnitude. And his splendid patriotism rose high above anything ever known in partisan politics, when he actually smashed his own party rafher than allow it to plunge the country into the ruin involved in the free coinage of silver. Yes, whether Senator Tillman said it or not, we fully believe that if the Democratic party could find another Cleveland at this juncture, it would sweep the country so easily that it would be a shame to take the money. Tiuti there are scores anu scores 01 Cleveland* In the country today, there is no doubt; but unless John A- Johnson of Minnesota is one, we fear that none of them are prominent enough in politics to get the Democratic nomination. Roosevelt is not half the man Cleveland was, nor is Taft or an.v other Republican leader of whom we have any knowledge. ? Greenville, May 13: H. H. Dill, former chaingang overseer in this county, was today acquitted in the general sessions court of the charge of cruelly whipping a convict. The warrant for his arrest was sworn out by a former convict, who claimed that he was unmercifully whipped. The state took the ground it was unlawful to whip convicts. Judge Prince charged it was legal to whip them as much as was neeessaiy to carry out sentence of the court as to hard labor. The case was hard fought. The jury was out only a short time. If the case was decided against Dill it probably would have meant that the whipping post at the penitentiary would have been abolished. LOCAL AFFAIRS. NEW ADVERTISEMENTS.

It is pretty dull In the towns and there Is very little traffic along the public roads; but travelers through the country, report that the fields are alive. People are working. There has been some growing weather during the past few days and vegetation has been taking advantage of it. The fact has been also the more noticeable after a standstill of nearly two weeks. Constable Sanders has been busy working up liquor cases around Sharon recently. Magistrate Smith has bound over several defendants and there are others on the string. The booze business has gotten to be quite a nuisance about Sharon and many people there are anxious to put a stop to it. Constable Sanders and Magistrate Smith are doing everything in their power; but there is a growing feeling in all sections that such cases are not dealt with as rigorously in the circuit court as the best interests of law and order seem to require.

C? of the Bethany vicinity, arrived in the city yesterday with their little 4-year-old daughter, Brennie, who was placed in St. Peter's hospital to be treated for acute inflammatory rheumatism. Mr. Plexico will probably return home today, while Mrs. Plexico will remain here for several days. THE SPECULATIVE MARKET. Following is a review of yesterday's developments in the contract market as summarized in an Associated Press dispatch of lust night from New York: The cotton market had a very active and exciting day, making new high records for the movement during tlie early trading and then suffering a sensational break with the close weak at a net decline of 6 to 30 points. Sales were estimated at 450,000 bales. The market opened firm at an advance of 5 to 20 points and before there was any substantial recession showed a net gain of 20 to 31 points with July selling at 10.07 and October at 0.26. The upward movement was due to very firm cables, big English spot sales, reports of tornadoes and excessive rains in certain central and western sections of the belt, covering of shorts and continued rumors of a July corner. At the high point May contract sold 202 points above tire recent low record, or a little over $10 a bale, while July was 1ST points up from the low record, or $0.35 a bale. At this level there was very heavy realizing and during the afternoon the market became sensationally weak on reports that Wall street bulls had liquidated, less favorable private cables from prominent Liverpool authorities claiming that shorts had covered while spinners and speculators were long, and the more favorable outlook for the weather. July broke to 9.48, or 59 puints, equal to nearly $3 a bale, from the high point of the morning, while t; October declined to 8.98, or 28 points j from the top. The close was weak at the lowest point of the session. South- 1 ern spot markets as officially reported J were 1-8 to to 3-8c net higher. Very ^ heavy rains were reported in some j. districts and one point in the Galveston district and over seven inches ac- t [cording to official returns. .The weath- t fer in the eastern belt was not con- c sidered unfavorable and the forecasts were regarded as more encouraging (! Receipts at the ports today, 6,296 r bales, against 29,163 last week and 69,- r 427 last year. For the week. 56,000 bales, against 59,153 last week and 59,994 last year.

Mr. Workman stated to us Saturday that if he has an enemy, w ither white or black, he does not w mow it, and he cannot account for w he mystery in any way. He has run b, everal parties off of his land lately of or trespassing, and, unless one of P1 hese parties has a grudge against this ;entleman and wanted to get even y vith him for running him off of his and by shooting him, the affair is a e< nystery to Mr. Workman.

Two Ideas destined to mark mateal progress in America's future relited from the first of the three days' inference commencing Wednesday t the White House at which Presient Koosevelt, the governors of forr-four states, cabinet officers, sureme court Judges, senators, repremtatlves and experts are participatig, in efforts to reach conclusions on le best methods of conserving the itural resources of the United :ates. The first is that a permanent organation between the states and the ition is necessary and will likely relit from this conference to accomlish the end sought. The second, lggested by Secretary Root, is that lere is no limitation by the constituon to the agreements which may be iade between two states, subject to le approval of congress. The two leas fully developed, it is predicted, ould result in the conservation of le energies and resources of the naon through uniform and unconflictig laws, both national and state. The idea that the conference should i perpetuated developed in the form ' resolutions adopted for later conderation by Governor Glenn, of orth Carolina, Governor Folk, of issouri, and many others, but a paramentary move to save time sent lem to a committee for consideraon. The first day was crowded with inresting and important developents, and fraught with history-makig possibilities. Forty-four governors of sovereign ates of the union sat on gilded lairs in the historic East Room of le White House and chatted from 10 11 o'clock this morning. Five hun:ed other persons taxed the capaci of the room. They were cabinet fleers, supreme court justices, seniors, representatives and experts in 1 lines of Industry. With a flourish ' trumpets the president entered at L o'clock and the conference, the rst of its kind in the history of the ition, begun. The setting for the scene was magflcent and impressive. The assemage faced the east wall, which was ade resplendent by a platform done gteen plush, backed by two large amed maps of the United States lowing in colors its various resour,'s, in the centre of which was a dece for the production of colored ass illustrations of the speeches, Ith a glaring reproduction of a forit fire on view. Seats of honor di uuy ill Hum ui Liicac iiitxpa wcic v/cipied by members of the president's Lbinet, and justice of the supreme >urt. The president and vice present occupied high-backed green ush chairs on either side of the cene. The reception of the president was ie first climax of the opening day. e entered the East Room at eleven clock as the Marine band rendered ie presidential honors. The govern s arose; they clapped their hands, iey shouted. The demonstration be:me tumultuous. Then followed a ash. The venerable Dr. Edward Evett Hale, chaplain of the senate, ad from the Scriptures the descrip3ii of the fertility of the land promed the children of Israel, and folwed It with a supplication for guidice in the present undertaking. President Roosevelt here begun his :planation of the reason for the inference. His fifty-minute speech as many times interrupted by apause, and when he finally reached s point of praise to the inland warways commission, and declared ith characteristic vigor that should ngress neglect to perpetuate the immission "I will do it myself," he aptured" the assemblage. The govnors stood up and shouted, senators id congressmen added a laugh to eir applause, and general assent is given the sentiment. HOLD THE SPOT COTTON. There Ever Was a Time to Hold It Is Now. President B. Harris of the state irmers' Union has issued the folwing circular letter as to the cot ii situation: If there ever was a time to hold it now. Cotton has advanced threeurths of a cent per pound in one 1 ek. What is the cause? Is it because, trade conditions are tter or a case of necessity? Futures nnot be spun and woven into cloth, they could, cotton would not have ade this advance. Do not let a little vance in price influence you to sell. >ld on till the minimum is reached. ' member the cotton broker has sold ur cotton to the mills; now make m give the minimum before he gets . to deliver to the manufacturer. ' ley are calling him for cotton is ly it has advanced. Now boys, freeze to it, and the price 11 get right. The spot coton is in ur hands, and it is yours. The otherlow is beginning to want it badly \v. Remember 4,500,000 bales short, ] ?ans something and the shortage Is | in your favor. We all know that | op conditions are bad, not only east the Mississippi, but west also. The cotton crop is at least three >eks late and bad stands, and the Id weather has caused much reinting. Every day will have to be 1 ideal day from now until the crop 1 is made for us to duplicate the 1907 crop. Miss Giles says the general condition of the crop Is 15 per cent better this year than last. Remember this is only guess work with her and Is a guess that is far wrong. She gets pay for this guessing. The European mills now want cotton and they will need 1,000,000 bales more of American cotton this year than they have been using. The Egyptian and India crop is 2,000,000 bales short and they have been getting most of that cotton. High grade cotton is scarce, not enough to fill orders that have been contracted for. Holding off the market has been the cause of the rise. Hoys. If you hold, the minimum y will come, so do the right thing at the right time, hold: remember corn Is $1.00 cash now, still plenty of time to plant yet, so raise enough food crops to do you next year.

Senator Tillman declares that it was not his Intention to say anything further on the subject of politics but being, as he said, so widely misquoted on the subject of Grover Cleveland, he broke over today and expressed himself freely. "You may set all minds at rest as to my opinion of Cleveland by saying that It has not changed one lota since my first speech in the senate denouncing him. I would rather the Democratic party would now be defeated than to be victorious with Cleveland or any man like him at Its head, and I am quite sure that no matter what the condi- 4tion of his health, should he be nominated he would be beaten worse than Parker was. I am at a loss to understand how a man usually so accurate as Mr. Kohn Is, should have so misquoted me. So far as I now recall I never mentioned Cleveland to him ^ the other day. I certainly did not say that under any circumstances I would favor his nomination or the nomination of any man like him. What I did say was that .Wall street would welcome one of the old plutocrats as the Democratic nominee, preferring to support such a socalled Democrat than Taft, who will be the Republican nominee, or Bryan, who will be 0 the Democratic nominee, and that if the Democratic party could unite upon one of these Eastern plutocrats, which it will of course not do, then Taft would be easily defeated. "I am, of course, for Bryan as the nominee at Denver, and I am satisfied 4 that south Carolina s delegates win De for Bryan, but I am opposed to Instructing them because our convention is not going to send men to Denver who can be bamboozled or bought and Instructions are unnecessary. "Now, having been goaded into this thing, I am going to tell you what I think about this tempest in a tea pot about instructing the delegation. Gonzales wants to make it appear that he, is the biggest Bryan man In the state . so that if Bryan is elected the editor AM of The State cap control the South Carolina patronage. The trouble with Hemphill Is, that he has never been able to see anything in Cleveland but a demigod and he opposed Bryan in 1896, and he is of the kind who never changes his mind. Hemphill was in '.lithe wrong then and to support Bryan now might appear an admission that he was wrong. That's the whole cause of the mighty racket over instructions."?Zack McGhee in Washington special of Tuesday to Columbia State. REGISTRATION FOR PRIMARY. * Correspondent Urges That This Would Raise Standard of Candidates. To the Editor of The State. In the Democratic convention of Chester county a resolution was unanimously passed setting forth the ? fact that it was the firm and deliberate conviction of the Democratic party of Chester county that the same qualifications required for voters at our general elections should be required by voters in our primary elections. Our delegates to the state con- * vention were instructed to bring this question to the attention of the state convention and ask for the adoption of f the rule requiring that only qualified electors be allowed to vote in our nominating primaries. This is a matter of vital importance to the citizenship of the people of South Carolina, when we remember that the nomination of our officers is really the election to the office. Recently we circulated petitions in Chester county asking for a vote upon the dispensary question and at a certain large cotton mill in a rural portion of the county it was ascertained ?U.,4 t..n? a a1aa?a? iimi iitcic ?aa iiui cl quaimcu cicciui among that large mill population from the president all the way down. Of the 2,000 voters among the cotton mill operatives In Chester, York and Lancaster counties I doubt if there ? are a hundred qualified electors. The same condition, I presume, obtains in Union, Spartanburg, Greenville and Richland counties. How does this sound to the men of the counties in the state in which there are no cotton mills? This vote Is very large and is the balance of % power in the election of our state and county officers. While this is true of our cotton mill population it is also true of scores and hundreds of our citizens all over the state who are not in our cotton mills. They can vote in the primaries and that is all they care for, as they regard that the real election and so it is. Under this slack, short-sighted venal rule not half of the citizens of South Carolina are qualified electors. The reason so few votes are cast at our general elec- # tions is because the personnel of the officers has been settled at the primary and more than half of the voters at the primary could not vote at the general election if they so desired. This condition is a shame and a disgrace to the intelligence of the ^ state and it will exist in a large meas- ' ure so long as our present primary rules are continued. Adopt the rule that only qualified electors can vote in our primary elections and the days of the demagogue and political shyster will be almost ended in South Carolina. W. H. Edwards. Chester, S.
