j|Jeram mtd Jem jmtcred at the Postofficc at Newh*djqf, S. C, as 2nd ciass matter. w a rr? r vnrnv\n Jfc. XX. AVUi, UM1U*. Tuesday, November 7, 1916. W. F. Stevenson of Cheraw in a recent letter says that if he had been present at the meeting of the State executive committee he would have asked to have seen the evidence, and " if it justified the charge of illegal voting he would have asked for an investigation as he did in 1912. We agree with Mr. Stevenson. If a bluff was being worked then was the time to call it.?Columbia Record. That is when Mr. Stevenson was ex- > actly right, and the pity is he was' 'not present at the meeting of the com-! mittee. The charge of fraud was made | -toy a member of the committee, and j . our recollection is, that he stated that! . he Jiad the evidence present in the committee room and would submit it - if + r>a finmmittcfl HociroH ta r?nr<siripr ! lL vug WUiUUVb^V \4VV44 VV? VW VWMW%W. ^ a <ii It would have allayed the suspicion, to say the least, which, is in the; mind of a very large number of the .roters, that the majority was afraid to turn on the iight of investigation. If it was a bluff and the bluff had been called then there would have been j .no excuse for all the talk of fraud! and coercion and the improper use: of money. So far as we are concerned we are! ^ a aIt ftf o p /ia i IAJ output (. LUC tivaci uo ue< clared elected, but we know a whole . lot of good men, just as good citizens as Mr. Manning, who do not -believe ha was fairly and honestly elected or nominated, and who are not going to vote for him, and if the committee had looked into the charges as made j by a member of the committee it would ' have settled the matter with these; men, but not having done so they | have an idea that the majority of; the committee was either afraid to I do so, or that as it had the authority j *nd the majority it would just ignore tfce minority, as represented by thef member who made the charges. It is always best to do the right j t&ing and to have some regard for the rf^hts and opinions of the minority, j ?I The Herald and News is not going to take tlie Western Union bulletin, nor is it going tovtry to give the elec tion returns tonight. We have arranged with our Columbia representative to give us a special every time there is anything definite, and we will give that to the people.

Mr. Wilson is going to be elected by a good margin and the Democratic ticket in the State will "win, though we will get the returns from New York before we get them from South Carolina. If we could just get the roads dragged after the rains what a blessing it would be. So simple and so easy and does so much good, the wonder is w-e cannot make the people see it. The Herald and News said something about the establishment of a creamery for this county and the importance of it. In conversation with Dr. G. Y. Hunter the other day he said that the stock would be subscribed 011 the spot at Prosperity the day Mr. W. W. Long speaks there, for the establishment of one at that point. It takes $4,000. We hope and believe that Dr. Hunter is correct. The people of that section are the people to do it. It will mean a weeklv nav roll at Prosperity of several r?? thousand dollars. We do not know that Newberry town is interested or cares about it. The establishment of a creamery will lead to a farmers' exchange. We ask our subscribers to bear "with us. We are making every effort possible to have papers sent promptly but in the great many additions and changes that are necessary it is imDossible to get them all on at once. iWfe are correcting the mailing lists just as fast as we can and in the meantime we are sending new subscribers in single wrappers. These may be delayed a day sometimes in delivery. John Gary Evans talks like he is afraid the other side might resort to his tactics next 1 u?sday.?York villi. Enquirer.

We cannot agree with Mr. Blease in his statement that ''every man who participated in the primary was sworn >u Lost Ar ot been buying a r /n m LLfS I your part o r prepared than t.. . m wait to buy you: ose.

JL I UOp&f lk/? to support the man who received a majority of the votes cast in that prima rv and whomsoever his conscience dictates to iiim as having received the I majority, h-e should support." As we understand the obligation this statement is correct only in part. The voter took an obligation to support the man who received a majority of the votes, but it was not left to his "conscience" to say who received the majority. That would t*; a funny sort of obligation. There mu6t be some sort of machin ' A ?? ? * ? M." 4.. ?

If it were we could have I no organized machinery to determlno I the majority or to get an expression j oT that majority. As Mr. Stevenson is quoted as sayi ing, the committee should have call< ed the bluff of Mr. Richey, if it were j a bluff, and then we would not hav? ! had this stir about fraud?we would i have had it settled then and there. I As the matter now stands we Just '* " - O- a nl' ! as wen iace iue iacc, a. jua?ui,J good citizens do not believe there was j a fair and honest election, and that j the refusal of the committee to call ; Mr. Richie's bluff, was because they ! were afraid to turn on the light, and j these good men- feel they are not bound to vote for Mr. Manning. 14 nd they are not going to vote for him. t So far as we are concerned, as we j have said, we are going to vote the because wp- feel that we are j bound to do so by having partici' pated in the primary and pledging to | support the nominees. Mr. Manning j is the nominee as declared by the . regularly constituted authority of the ] party. So far as w recall we have seeu ! no notice of the opening of books j of registration for the city election f and we understand that the law re! quires a registration for voting.
