Custom is Law and to Choose Magistrates by Ballot is.Mr. E Jones Believes, the Proper Thing. t1 Edi-or The Mannin: Times: ti The charge of fraud being perpe- s: trated in the last primary election in d Clarendon county has been repeatedly made.and suggestions how to prevent v a like occurrence in future primary a elections. s Among suggestions made in regard a to heading off fraud in elections in the b future, was a motion made and adopted s( by the county executive committee at ft its meeting on Saturday 18th inst. The suggestion made in the execu- a tive committee, provide, that each ti Democratic club in the county send to yi the county chairman a revised club ui roll at the next meeting of the execu- m tive committee which is to convene on d July 16th and the names of al voters oi who has since died, and the names of I all who has sinee moved away are. to be :i expunged from all rolls. o After this primary of the rolls it is to b Uc expected b:- some that then will be tl chance left for the perpetration of p1 fraud in future primary elections. How u this plan is to pi-c-e effective along this tc line we are unable to conceive. sI In the earlier days of the plan of b: Democratic primary elections in South Carolina, there was at times insinua- fo tions of the perpetration fraud. c( The history of primary elections in s South Carolina teaches that the pur- et poses of the same was to keep the white r( people, or rather the white voters in- te I tact and to thereby insure white sup- vi remacy in, and Democratic control of tr South Carolina. pl To forever put and end to the charge hi of fraud in primaries, and all chances tI for the same, the legislature of Soutb f0 Carolina legalized primary elections. PI The legislature during its sessions in w the very remote past, enacted a law, a providing that all primary elections in a the future should be governed and reg- tI ulated by the same laws that governed te and regulated the general elections of et theState. o. Did the legislature expect to pre vent fraud in either primary or general m elections by having a revision of club vi rolls and by a revision of poll lists? We ti think not. in If not in that way-then in what way? C We answer, by the courts. th The proper way as we have always at understood to prevent election frauds Ot is to prevent the same at the ballot ra box. Every voter offering to vote in a C primary or in a general election has to W subscribe to an oath that he is a quali- C fied voter according to the laws of the w; State of South Carolina. tb If one offiring to vote is not a quali- fo fied voter as the law provides, his vote th can be challenged aad the person pre- th vented from putting his ballot in the tb ballot box. YC Should by any scheme or trick, any tr person or persons, unqualified to vote ri do so. and it should be detected, 01 that person or persons could be indicted vi and brought to trial in the courts, and tI if convicted, could be punished for w perjury. B Frauds in primary, general, or all O other elections ought to be tolerated w by none, but prevented by all. it Club rolls may be revised till dooms " day and all their revisons will never prevent frauds in primary elections if ac there is such a practice of fraud prac- c ticed. The aggrieved candidates ought to o get positive.proof and then apply to the at courts for redress. al Thinking this much on fraud in pri- i mary elections sufficient for the presentt we wvill now ask the readers attention s for a while to the matter of magis- hi trates, and to the manner of their se- ni lection as we personally believe.4 For twelve years it has been the cus- i torn of the voters of Clarendon ::ounty cC by the arrangement of the county exe- v cutive committee to choose magistrates Si by ballot along with the other county uj officers. An eminent and learned jurit w of this State has expressed the opinion c~ that' custom makes law, and by this uV ruling we contend that it is lawful to el elect magistrates by ballot and the cus- ti tom to do so should be continued.a Some suggest that the executive com. mittee take this custom from the peo- a ple and put the matter of making mag- w istrates in Clarendon at least, in the w hands of the appointing powei- of the o State, as it an appointive office. We oppose this plan or suggestion of appointment, and we appeal to the exe- tE cutive committee to repudiate all such s suggestions as detrimental tothe rights t of free men, and as opposed to our form hi of Republican Government.h The objection advanced by some to a di continuation of electing magistrates by b ballot, is, that by their popularity and t0 jovial cleverness incompetent men get ~ in the offices. I This much of the subject we leave tI for the people to ponder and to settle W for themselves. SWe are frank- to confess that the ti magistrates that the people has lbeen k electing has always compared favora- 9 bly in a point of intellhgence and integ- i ritv. as any in the past that has been ' secured by appointive power. AnyN magistrate as well as other county offi- t cers who has been through the confli- . dence of the voters put in office and afterwards prove incompetent andh recreant to the trust reposed, can be tI speedily removed. In making the appointments by the d indorsement of the legislative delega- ti tion, it never has been satisfactory nor tI never will be. Thcre has been great 1I dissatisfaction along the line of even ~ this plan.c How often has it been said that many " who have been appointed by legislative r delegations, that they were not ap pointed on their merit or for their ability, but simply because of their in fuence to control votes. :Both plans by primary election and by legislative appointment, many of us know have failed to please some people, so let us adhere to the custom of elect ing magistrates by ballot, and by so doing we wvill have the satisfaction ofC knowing that as free men we are exer cising a right belonging to free men only.C .-GEO.

The very questions propounded to a eteran when he applies for a cross, ad which he must answer above his gnature proves or disproves his status ;a good soldier. How, then, could it , bestowed upon those who never rved under the starry cross as a Con derate an houry The attempt to prove me unappreci ive of the gallant services rendered iis State (not the Confederacy) by the )uths during our war is far-fetched. 'agenerous and untrue. Not a line of y protest against the indiscriminate stribution of the Confederate erosses honor conld be so construed. Again. am criticised for not distributing ad bitum and ad inlinitum our camp tdges to parties who were not mom rs of the camp and could not be, on e very eve of our visit to a city who oposed to entertain us with our knees .der their mahogany, and wonderful say, really did, ought. could or tould I have distributed those camp idges? "Sweet 16'' asserts positively that ur regiments of these State reserves mposing a brigade were with John n's army at the evacuation of Fay teville and Raleigh. but is singularly ticent as to the part they took in the rrific and bloody battle of Benton lie which occurred rih'ht then and ere. and as Johnson was heavily essed by Sherman and was getting .s cooks and teamsters in line of bat e he would have been-most grateful r this magnificent addition to his de .eted ranks and the clash of arms ould not have been a drawn battle,but great victory for Southern arms; for four year's touch of the elbow in bat e with Carolina's young chivalry aches me that no line of battle on irth could resist the impetuous assault these young heroes. And I know k-ewise that having got within hear g of the roar of battle at Benton lie no authority on earth could keep tem off that field. So "Sweet 16' ust in justice to these brave young trolinians explain how it comes about ,at only on this occasion of the evacu ions of cities that they ate conspicu is, and are again seen gallantly and pidly leading Johnson's retreat on arlotte, and are strikingly absent ere they were so much needed in the nfederacy's last great struggle of the ir. And it must be remembered, too, at this was no insignificant command, ur regiments that had not yet smelled e smoke of battle numbered 800 to .e regiment and a grand total of three .ousand two hundred rifles. As our iung friend said they were with the oops that evacuated Charleston, went ght along with them into North Car ina and with them around Fayette le and Raleigh, and as the troops ,at they were in such close touch ith, bore the brunt of the fight at entonville notably Rhett's regiment regular artillery, but armed them ith muskets who were cut to pieces: becomes a standing question as to ere were those four regiments of >uth Carolina reserves a whole brig le unaccounted for, while the very oks and teamsters were firing. What a have a right to demand is the name these regimental commanders; and ove all that of the brigadier gener s, that their names may go down to famy. Surely our young friend knew em, for he saw them daily and heard me of their names mentioned every >ur and the brigade was known by the ~me of its commander. And what ncerns us of Clarendon county most who was captain of the Clarendon mpany, for our young friend says ry clearly that each county in the ate furnished a company that made >these four regiments, and being Lth this company he surely knew his ptain's name. To recapitulate, give the names of first, the brigadier gen al, then the four colonels and that of e captain of the Clarendon company, d wvhy it was that this splendid comn and of over three thousand troops, fourth as large as Johnson's army, ere not in the battle of Bentonville, hile other commands from South Car na were nigh decimated in that yht? And then ouroracular young friend ls of a remarkable blunder made by me one who decided to send those ree thousand two hundred reserves yme. to procure three thousand two mnred horses, for you will note he es not record any laurels that had en reaped or lives lost, therefore Ley wanted a horse for every original enber of the brigade. The time ade between Charlotte, N. C., and te various counties of South Carolina as highly creditable, for these fast >ung men got home, secured their ree thousand horses, when it was aown that Sherman and Potter's raid 's never left that many decent horses the entire State, and were on their ay back when they heard of the sur oder which occurred a few days after tey left. It was a remarkable piece of rategy to detach three thousand sup. sed to be effective troops to go three, tndred miles to obtain horses, with! ie railroad torn up from within thirty: ies of Charlotte to the coast to ride >wn an enemy that was surrounding e little skeleton of the army when ev abandoned them.

BOYD EVANS. ?is Grandfather One of Nature's Noblemen, His Father a Gallant Confederate Soldier and He a Worthy Son. o the Voters of South Carolina: Realizing the necessity and utility : a most vigorous administration of the affairs of the railroad comnmis ion, and its establishment upon a stable business basis, and that these reat ends can only be obtained, by maintaining the highest standard in' tie personnel of its membesrs, we, the undersigned citizens of Marion coun ty, present for your attention the name of Mr. W. Boyd Evans, a man bailing from our midst, and whom we believe possesses these high attri butes which qualify him to nmeet the obligations ot the office to which he aspires with the greatest efficiency and honor. He is full of energy, pro ressive in his ideas and aggressive in advanciog them; a Mason, a Pyth ian and Odd Fellow, he is in close touch and sympathy with all that tends toward the development of his fellowman and native State. We feel that a word setting out what manner of man he is and what class of men he sprang from will not be amiss. in a recent history of Marion Conty, written by the Honorable W: W. Sellers, Esq., he has this to say of WV. Boyd Evans' grandfather, Nathan Evans, and his father, Wil liam Baker E yans: "Nathan Evans was one of Na ture's noblemen; had great, good sense, was energetic and upright in! every resgect; always lent his ear to a tale of suffering; had a kind and sympathetic heort, and _would help his neighbor in distress, if it was mn his power, often to his own injury; he injured himself and family by be-, coming surety for others. He liyed on his splendid farm, which he manl aged to keep till his death; he was a very popular man, yet he never as pired to -the honors of office but once and then not of his own motion, but being. urged by his numerous friends ie became a candidate for Repre sentative in the State Legislature in 158, and though the contest was heated, he was triumphantly elected at the head of the ticket, and served a term in the House. Faithful to his trust, he retired from public life in the full confidence of his people-he loved his home and family too well; pursuits of home life were more con genial to his nature." "William Baker Evans, W. Boyd Evans' father, was a captain in the war, a true and valiant soldier. In one of the battles of Virginia (Cold Harbor) he was badly wounded, shot through one of his lungs-which at the time was thought to be mortal, bt to every one's surp~rise lie recov ered. After recovery he returned to his command and continued there to, the sirrender Johnson's army, 2Eth of April, 1805. Captain Evans is a very worthy citizen, a man of good morals, and a good man mi his famu ilv-in short, he is a high-toned gen-: ti~eman; he is a farmer." W. Boyd Evvns is the son of this gallant Confederate soldier. He is, the son of this gallant Confederate soldier. He is essentially a self-made man, for his father lacking, the means to bear the expenses of his col lege education, lie met these expen-, ses himself, unaided, by dint of hard work and untiring perseverance. While still at college, Mr. Evans was elected, against sharp competi tion, to fill the position of Secretary of the Judiciary Committee of the Constitutional Convention of 18->, nd in that position exhibited such' marked ability as to attract the at tention of William H. Ellerbe, who afterwards becoming Governor of the State, appointed him as his pri vate secretary. Mr. Evans held this responsible po sition with the utmost satisfaction to his chief, and during the last des perate illness of Governor Ellerbe. overing the greater port of a year, the duties and responsibilities of that high office devolved almost en tirely upon his shoulders, and lie ace quitted himself with ability and dig During the performance of these .3--arduos nntihwer, lie found time to enter upon and complete th, study of law at the South Carolin. College, and has since the expiratioi of his term practiced his professioi Columbia. . I After the return of our regiment: from the war with Spain, Mr. Evans discovering that these soldiers could under the national laws, claimzu fur ther awards for their services. en tered claims with the War Depart ment in Washington for back pay foi South Carolina, collected and turne over to them upwards of twenti thousand dollars, which, but for hi: sagacity and energy, would hav been lost to these brave fellows. For a period of nearly ten year: Mr. Evans has been connected, it one capacity or another, with legis iative departinent of our govern ment, acting as secretary of the vari ous committees of the two Houses. His residence in Columbia, th( headquarters of the Railroad Com mission, renders Mr. Evans a pece liarly fitting choice for the positior to which h!e aspires, inasmuch as i would give the Commission a resi. dent member at headquarters, thum keeping the oflice always accessible to those having business before it..
