gives Clarendon over 2,000 vot ers, and no sane man believes it possible for such an increase in population or interest simce the election four years ago wher the total vote did not exceed 1450. We are reminding our readers of this matter, not for the pur pose of charging any particular man with responsibility, for WE propose to let the "dead pas bury the past," but for the pur pose of urging the people t< awake to their interests before it is too late. Every reasoning ; man must know, if he will con sider for a moment. where men se cure position by corrupt meth ods, such methods must sooner or later creep into the oflices r which they hold, and that is the reason why we hear of so mueh rottonness in States where polit ical rivalry has unearthed cor ruption and made convicts o: even United States Senators. 1 Let the people go to their clubs I on the 23rd, choose an executive - committeeman who will frowr t upon fraud, and elect a county I chairman who will hold the a scales of justice with an im t partial and an unpartisan > hand, then send a delegation tc the State convention which will endeavor to make rules tha1 look to the purification of ou election methods. If the people will do this, it will put a stop tc slander and trickery, debauchery and bribery in our primary elec tions, and result in giving us moral, good, and safe men tc conduct our governmental af fairs. HEARST IS ENTITLED TO FAIR TREAT. MENT. The Hearst matter being pub lished in several county news papers is no indication that the editors of those papers are it favor of nominating Hearst for the presidency. We take it ' these editors are disposed t< L treat Hearst as they would any other Democrat, fairly, and no keep his literature from the peo ple while they are urging the nomination of some other Demo crat. If the friends of Judge Parker will send matter to this paper we will take pleasure ingiv ing our readers the benefit of il and every other candidate foi the Democratic nomination wil. be treated likewise. The edi torial columns is the place t( t find the editors choice, and s( far as we are concerned, it mat ters not much to us who is nom inated, anything labeled "Demo crat" will receive the vote o: SSouth Carolina. If Mr. Hears is the corrupt man, some news papers are painting him, why is it they did not let it be knowt -when he was a candidate foi Congress. If we remember cor rectly, they went into ecstacies when William R. Hearst was made a member of Congress, ani some that are fighting him nov were among the number. They charge he is trying to buy his nomination to the presidency 1Will they tell us whether or no the bought his election to Con gress? If he bought his electiot to Congress he should have beet exposed then, and if it was al ~right for hm to buy a seat it Congress, it must be right fo: him to buy the Presidentia chair. SIn our opinion the newspaper are making a big mistake it charging Mr. Hearst with cor ruption at this stage of thE game, for it might come to past that Hearst will be nominated and these same papers will turi tail the other way and bark lous his virtues. Our choice for th< Democratic nomination is Arthu: Pue Gorman, but from presen t indications he will not be nomi nated. We favor him bocaus< we believe he will come neare: solidifying the party than an: other man so far named, and fo: a the reason, the South is unde: everlasting obligations to hin for preventing the "force bill being enacted into law. Judge Parker of New Yori seems to be the favorite witl SSouth Carolina's leaders, and i t looks very much like the friend ~ of Parker will succeed in cap a turing the Convention, and a should they do so, William Jen nings Bryan may not take kind - ly to such a nomination, and th< party will go into battle witi divided ranks. We want a win ner, let it be Gorman, Hearst Parker, Gray or Bailey, it mat -ters not just so he can bring al the elements of the party to ~gether and plant the Democrati< banner on Capitol hill. ThE delegation from South Carolim should not be hampered witi iron clad instructions, nor witi any unit rule shackles, our dele gates will be on the ground and Sin better position to judge if lef to use their best judgment, fo: matters not who is nominated 1the nominee must be South Car olina's choice. .THE CHOSEN SEVEN. - Our city election has been had. t and the chosen ones, are decid edly the choice of a large major -ity of town's citizenship. Eaci : and every member of the coun t il-elect received a very flatter - ing vote, and we have no doub1 -that each of them appreciatt this manifestation of confidenc( 3 on the part of such a majority o: their fellow citizens. We dit i not vote for the ticket elected - with one exception, our prefer -ence being for the other ticket Snot because we did not have con fidence in the personnell of thE -chosen ones, but because we had as much confidence in one set af e' the other. We believe the de I feated set is as progressive and a as patriotic as the other, with as ,much of the town's welfare un selfishly at heart. We now be L.UIS APPCLT. Editor MANNNIG. S.

The Democratic party of Sout Carolina is to be re-organize< throughout the State on Satur day, April 23rd, and for tha purpose the county chairmai has issued his call for the club to assemble in this county. A these club meetings, delegate. will be elected to a county con vention which meets May 2nd and also to elect a member of the county executive committee. W( are peculiarly situated in thi; State, there being only one par ty, and that party has absolut control of the government; ever3 officer from United States Sena tor down to constable is a mem ber of the Democratic party, anc whatever issues arise must b< determined by the Democrati< voters. These conditions mak it necessary for the members o the party to take an active inter est in its organization, hence ev ery man should attend his clul meeting, and aid in having hi. club well represented in the con vention, also on the executiv committee. There should be careful revision of the rolls t< prevent double representation and there should also be car taken in the selection of a coun ty chairman, a man who wil preside over party affairs wit impartiality, in order that ever candidate who offers himself be fore the people shall be giver justice which he is entitled to. It our opinion, no man should b< chosen for the office of count chairman .who will be a candi date in the primary, nor do wi think it fair that a candidat< in the primary shall have membership on the executivi committee. If the executiv committee is made up of candi dates in the primery, and th< contest is so close that the comn mittee has to determine the elec tion, these candidates who ari members of the committee art judges and jury of the cases the; are personally interested in, anm naturally biased in their own fa vor. The rules of the Democrati< party are silent upon this ver; important matter, but the count; convention can by resolutioi adopt a rule which will prohibi a candidate from being a membe: of the executive committe; fair ness demands such action to b< taken by the convention. We urge the importance of - full attendance upon the clul meetings, because our politica system has become so lax tha the meetings are not attende< with the result, indifference has brought about a condition tha few outside of prospective can didates take any interest il the party organization. It wil not do for the' "people to wai until they have to face a condi tion of corruption before the: realize the importance of thei political duties, they should ac -now, and prevent if possible,emn barrassing conditions. How of ten do we read in the newspaper: where a County Treasurer ha: defaulted, take the recent case: at Bamberg and Richland wher< the .defalcations run into th< thousands of dollars, not alon< with treasurers, other officials have also defaulted, and whei the bond is sued upon,the count: has a hard fight to recover, if recovers at all. These defalca tions if not made good by thi bond must necesarily be mad< good by the taxpayers, becausi it takes money to run the govern -ment and that money must come out of the pockets of the peopl< by taxation. Clarendon has beel fortunate,the taxpayers have no been called upon to make goo< defalcations, but unless the peo ple interest themselves to see t< it that none but good men art elected to office, there is no tell ing what the future consequences may be. Indifference is calculat ed to open the political doors t< incompetency and corruption and whenever the people by thei: inaction condone corruption it our election methods, they can -not expect to reap other tha: they have sown. The represen tation in the convention tw< years ago is sufficient proof tha there was corrupt methods em ployed; just think of it, a con vention of 2,500 voters, wheni is a known fact, Clarendon ha: not over two-thirds of the numn ber; notwithstanding this fals< representation, a ballot in tha convention showed a vote in ex cess of the falsely enrolied dele gates. Who is responsible fo: such a condition?~ The peopl< who do not seek to remedy it. S< far as that particular conventio1 is concerned, it resulted in coun tenancinig corruption in the pri mary which gave a vote that man' believe was very considerabl< in excess of the number of qual ified white voters, and it i known that an average of ove: 10 voters at each of the 25 club: did not vote at all. The voti showed 1773, and if it is a fact and many believe it is, that full: 10 at eah box failed to vote, council who will disappoint those that are counting upon doing things which will provoke opposi tion on the part of even a minor ity of citizens; we refer to indis criminate franchises, and a e discriminating set of waterworks. f It is believed by quite a number I that it is the intention of a few interested persons to have coun- t cil install a waterworks plant to E protect the business portion of the town and pay for same by general taxation. In fact, we 1 heard one of the present council say it should be done, and later on as the town could afford it ex tend the plant. In our opinion council will not be able to get such a measure through by a unanimous vote, because there are men in that body who real ize the injustice of such action, and will vote to prevent it. But t should council adopt such an im position, it may as well retain its lawyer to defend its action, for we know whereof we speak, when i we say there are a number of respected property owning citi zens who will seek protection from such an imposition in the c courts. This is not a threat, but a warning to council that although under the election laws a minority is un able to obtain results at the polls, if that minority -is dis criminated against, it can pray for relief before a tribunal which c does not govern by the force of numbers, but by law. It is the duty of all good citi- I zens to lend every encourage ment towards making the ad ministration of the new council a success, this we will endeavor to do. It shall be our purpose to give it praise for that which we regard to the interests of the entire people, and whenever in i our judgment council proposes a measure which we regard not' essential to the general welfare, we shall endeavor to point out by reasoning our objections. The council is made up of good busi ness men and it is hoped the town will be governed in a wise, conservative manner. STATE OF OHIO. CITY OF TOLEDO. 4. LUCAS COUNTY. 4 FRANK J.

Now ope their beauteous eyes and 1 blink, The tender voice of spring speaks 1 low "Awake, sweet flowers, and do not shrink" The violets sweetly smiling now Revive the lover's broken heart, For springing sweetly in his path To him their fragrance they impart. Or resting on the maidens breast Impart a charm so sweet and rare That was not there before the maid 1 Had deftly placed the flowers there. The fragrant yellow jessamines creep Their fragrance wafted all around The woodlands with the silvery strains Of singing birds do now abound. The breath of spring has touched the rose: Now at the fair blue sky she peeps Aroused by rays of warm sunshine Now slowly into bloom she creeps. The maple bows her graceful head And swings her boughs in sweet spring air. Arrayed in crimson, spring's first dress, Superbly rich, divinely fair. The stately oak stands tall and grim Appareled rich in green and gold The birds flit lightly through his boughs Singing the song that ne'er grows old. Now many voices fill the air: The farmers call, the singing birds, The crickets chii-p, the horses neigh. The cowboys' shout, the bleating herds. The rippling brook flows gently on~ Across the meadows grassy breast And lonely on its bank there stands The bower that holdt the sly birds nest. Tis here in spring the blue-eyed maid Lists to the tale of some fair youth . Who by her blush and downcast eyes Divines with joy the hidden truth.
