ifcf- ?|emM an? ?!m? 1' 1?. II. AULL, EDITOR. Entered at the Postollice at Newberry, S. C., as 2nd class matter. I Tuesday, April 21, 1008. The candidates are coming out?all "subject to tire ruWs of the Demoera tie primary." Now let us suggest an additional rule. When the county , convention meets ;i rule should he adopted providing that each candi- . date must pledge himself that he will not while a candidate treat any voter . to meal or drink or othcrwsie. This "treating" has not been as great evil in 1 his county atf in some others, hut it is an 'evil that grows and it is best to nip it in the hud. A rule of this kind will be a blessing to the candidate and also to the voter, for il will save lli?' one from living hied and the oilier from being debauched.?Newberry Observer. Another pledge should be that the candidate will 11<>t make any special suhcriplion or contribution in cash or otherwise In any church, school or other cause except those with which , his relation is such that they have ? (?gular claims upon htm. The solicit- ' ing of contributions from candidates for all sorts of purposes is :i nuisance ami an injustice akin to blackmail. It)' is very plainly unfair to get a man in > a position where he is at a disadvan- < tage and extort from him moirey, under the implied menace of losing support. Tire solicitors also lower themselves in the estimation of their vie- j tims and others and discount the cause which they represent. Wv have known some candidates who had the courage to decline ;t 11 such appeals. \W' thought more of them for it. and , do not holiecve I hey lost a vote by it. ( All candidates should do likewise, and * they should have a rule of llie pri- ' mary to supplement their courage.? Chester Lantern. I low would il do to have the party adopt another rule to the effect that no candidate shall be allowed to shake hands or smile upon the voter during the lerm of his candidacy? Ixd ;i him be austere and ,jns| present his ' <( plat form " and walk ahroa<r through 1 the land assuming the air of statesmanship. All efforts at improper influence or ' the improper use of money should be ' condemned but loo much regulating ' and loo many rules will not (end to tne uplift of the voter or the candid a t e. file voter should cast his ballot for the candidate who is best fitted for o Ihe ofliee to which he aspires regard- 1 less of other things. 71 is. unfortuu- c ately, too, often the case that this is no) done, and we do not believe it can be accomplished by the adoption of a long siring of rules. ' 1 'I'lie Slate convention of the rcpuh- j lieau pariy will meet in Columbia i next Monday. April 27lh. There will be no inieresl in this convention apart from the election of delegates to the ( national convention. Revenue Com- i missioner duo. (!. Capers is making a ( light to control the State in the inieresl of Tali, while K. If. Derts and some of the oilier negroes are favorable to Koraker. ; . ?, i I here are now three camlidaies announced lor county sciiperintendent of education and lour or five for county supervisor. These are I wo very important olfices. In fad we believe that ill,- otticc ii|" county supervisor is . the most important one of the eountv ^ ollices. 11 should be remembered hv the voters this summer that the terms tor these two ollicers have been made lour years instead of two years as heretofore. So thai when you come j to select your county supervisor and your county superintendent of education you should remember that you are electing each for a term of four years. We thought il well to make mention of this. We believe it will be in the interest of the people for a county supervisor can scarcely get his | plans under way for road improve- ( nvenl before ho is in Ihe midst'of another campaign. Four years will give him an opportunity to do something. Tn the mean time the people should be careful to select the very best fitfed man for this position ?vho offers ' himself. j : .
