the heroes of the ’60s and '70 deserve

to be registered for life under t-he
special temporary “understanding”

And we »r» »e*ry »nd »low .
W hen life norm* gauged
Onlv to plain* that nre low;
Wh'-n our brain* «»*ern an

Our hearta turn vflth longing
To the cool Factory l-ake.
No music hath power
To ravish the ear.
As the silvery notes
Of its waters so clear;
No vision so enticing
To beckon us on
As a bath and a plunge
in the old Factory 1‘ond.
No pines wave so graceful;
No bird’s song so sweet;
No flowers so beautious
That bloom at our feet;
No call so insistent;
No memories so fond,
As the memories that cluster
’Round the old Factory Pond.
In the beauty of sunrise
Its charms never fail —
The white vapor trails o’er it
Like a pure bridal veil.
In the gold of the sun-set
When shadows grow long,
What place so inviting
As the old Factory Pond?
The Swimming Club
Proposes to make
What nature intended
Of thm beautiful lake -
A play ground of pleasure
For he;>c n r e triad
And a peaceful retreat
Fur 1 lie lo ai is that are sad.

of itliieracv would operate as an in
direct compulsory education law.
self-enforcing It would afford also
an education In civic duty. Let us
stop a practice which teaches that the
ballot is a cheap play thing handed
out to all whether or not they can
use it understandingly. Let us rath
er teach that the ballot is a prize to
he striven for and when obtained to
be, reverently cherished, a sacred
trust to be merited and never to be
misused.
It is humiliating that we have ig
nored all these considerations in the
practices of the Democratic party pri
mary. But our State constitution of
1 895 has provided just these stand
ards for suffrage in the general elec
tion. It took care of all white men
becoming of age by 1 898, and gave
to the youger fellows two or more
years of warning that they must
le^rn to read and write if they would
become voters independently of the
property qualification. It provided
especially for their education by rais
ing the age of school attendance to
21 years, and increasing the school
fund in several ways and with par
ticular reference to the ensuing three
years—1 896-7-8 before the require
ments should become rigid. There
was thus every precaution of fair
aewa in giving notice and affording
opportunity to get ready for the new
requirements before they went Intr
effect.
We should adopt for the primary
the same legal requirements that now

apply to the general election. We
must do so if we are not to per
petuate illiteracy and the rule of illit
eracy, cursing our people with a lame
and backward government. We must
do so if we are to justify the oath
now prescribed by the Democratic
party constitution, to "support the
nominees” of the primary. Think of
the absurdity of such an oath taken
by men unable to vote in the general
election. The real voters of the State
pledge themselves to elect in Novem
ber the choice of a primary election
conducted not by themselves but by
themselves and a large number of
non-voters. The latter may be the
balance of power in nominating those
whom the majority of the real voters
consider unfit. The nomination
would amourit to nothing but for the
votes of the real voters in November.
They go to the polls and elect the
men they don’t want because they
have participated in a primary with
non-voters and have voluntarily ab-
Heated their own power and rights
as voters. Thev use fhpir real ballots
in November to make effective the
choice of the non-voBrs In a preeed-
: ntr primary! The subserviency of the
men who can vote to the men who
iftn not vote is generosity run mad!

Do the people of Orangeburg
County, merchants, planters, profes-
ional men, everybody, want the
Ld.sto River opened for navigation?
It they do, there remains only a few
days before the hearing on the appeal
from Major Howell’s adverse report
is to He made before the Board of
Engineers at Washington. July 15,
the hearing is set for, and whether
there are delegations there or not,
the hearing comes off.
A week ago to-day Congressman
Lever addressed a large audience of
business men and farmers In the
Court House, and he outlined the
only hope there was for the project.
That was the absolutely essential ne
cessity of convincing the board that
there was commerce that would be
developed upon the line If it was
opened. To do this he urged the
sending of as large a delegation as
possible to Washington appear with
him before the board.

A Teacher Drops Twelve Hundred
Dollars on Train.
Dr. L. A. Elmer, head teacher at
the South Carolina School for the
Deaf and Blind at Cedar Springs, lost
a roll of bills aggregating $1,200
while en route from Yorkville to
Spartanburg Monday. The amount
represented several years’ labor,
and Dr. Elmer was beginning an ex
tensive trip at the time of his loss.
He first missed the money aftei
changing cars at Blacksburg and im
mediately instituted search for it.
Though he has advertised extensively
he has not been able to recover the
roll. Dr. Elmer is confident that he
was not the victim of a pickpocket.
Kill Women and Children.
A large band of Chinese recently
surrounded the Thibetan town of
Siangchen. Before going into battle
the Thibetans killed their women and
children le«t they should be captured
by the Chinese. The Chinese ran
short of ammunition and the Thibe
tans repulsed them.

the party, officially known as the
Crocker Land Expedition, which set
out from Hrooklyn Navy Yard on
board the British y? m whaler
Diana last Wednesday a week.
Donald B. McMillan, tha leader of
the expedition, has been connected
with many scientific and exploring
parties, and In selecting his outfit be
had the benefit of the advice and aid
of such men as Anthony Fiala, Sir
Ernest Sh&ckleton and Rear Admiral
Robert E. Peary. _ r .
The sledges of the party are of an
entirely new pattern, Invented by Dr.
McMillan himself. While weighing
sixty-nine pounds - fifty pounds If*a
than those with which Peary reached
the Pole exports pronounce them
marvels of strength and durability.
Each sledge is fitted with a double
sot of runnors On hard going they
will run on the narrow steel; as thrt
surface of the snow becomes softer
iml tbe sledre sinks In H 1* tskea cp~
on the second and wider runaeru; ha
