Wo do not like the spirit the chair-L
man of the Democratic party in Beau- t
fort county showed in refusing a' the a
eleventh hour to hold a second pri-'
mary in his county, because there]1
were no locaFcandidates running, but i (
we agree with him in the position c
he takes that it is not fair to make j1
the^candidates for county offices pay | ?
all the election expenses. It hasi^
been the rule since the first primary'c
was held to assess the county candi
I A
data* to meet election expenses. Tne |u
eounty committee has no right to levyiE
an assessment against a candidate forjf
a State or Federal office, and the bur-j
den has been carried by the candi- I
dates for county offices. The cost of .
J
holding an election averages about ^
$18 for each precinct, exclusive of
the cost of printing the tickets, oaths, I
returns, etc. The Australian ballot 8
system wiH impose additional burdens (
In the way of extra expense in the
erection of votin* booths. If candi- I
dates for State and Federal offices *
are required to bear half the expense ,
in all the counties of the State the
cost ot running for a State or Federal ,
office will be so high that only very
w*althv men can afford to run for i
these offices. It has been suggested 1
that the State make an appropriation
to cover primary election expenses, j
but -as the primary is a party organization
and not a State or public or
ganization in the full seuse and mean j
ing of the term it is questionable j j
whether the General Assembly would ;S
have the right to make a levy for thisj
purpose. The situation presents sev- j
oral serious phases. It is manifestly s
unfair to place the entire burden on (
the shoulders of the candidates for
I T
county offices, and if the election ex- |
penses are divided equally or even!,
pro rated the cost of running for i
office will be so high that few men!>
would care to enter the lists. If the'*
C
State has no right to make an appro- ^
priation for this purpose there is only
one way out of the difficulty?the
abolition of the primary system.
ARE THESE LAWS ENFORCED? 1
The Lancaster News digs up two
dust-covered laws whfch it says are f
"clear and understandable but which t
have "been completely forgotten." j r
Oue of the laws relates to the throw- ; \
ing of glass bottles, nails, scrap, iron 1
and other articles of a like nature j
in the public highways, and the oth- j
er makes it a misdemeanor for a c
child under 12 years of age to drive 1
? ??kiu v.:?v, C
a motor vemcie uu me jmunt m6u-|g
ways. The first law is openly and |
flagrantly violated, and the second 1
law is so dead in spirit that f
probably not a dozen people in Dillon ^
county know that it is on the statuto],
books. !c
The use of the motor car as a ve-! 1
hicle of transportation is increasing,*
every day, and it might be well to t
keep these laws before the public.!
We are reproducing them for the ben- r
efit of our readers, and incidentally
g
for the information of our peace of- t
ficers: s
Act No. 377 is as follows: "Be it I
enacted by the General Assembly of c
South Carolina: That from and after d
the passage of this act it shall be a e
, misdemeanor for any person to place, p
throw or leave any broken glass, d
glass bottles, scrap iron, tin cans or
pointed nails within any highway in 1:
the state of South Carolina, and any c
person violating the terms of this
act shall be fined not less than ten /
dollars nor more than fifty dollars, or J
be imprisoned not le^s than ten days 1
nor more than thirty days. Said C
' fines to go to the public school funds I"

was committed." F
Act. No. 481* reads, "oection 1. ? G
Be it enacted by the General Asseni- G
bly of South Carolina: That it shall F
be unlawful for the owner of any au- F
tomobile or other motor vehicle to J
allow any minor under the age of F

or not. " C
"Section 3?That any person or F
persons allowing or consenting to a S
imnor under twelve years driving oriS

provisions of Sections 1. of this act,:
