Sin(e the first primary election on August 20th, reports of jrross irreK'J- larities have been cominjr out of Aiken 0/ounty. A dispat<h from Aik en states that the Lanjrlcy box has >H-en protested because of alleged ir- re>rularities, it lK*inp charged amontr other things that 29 more A ntes were east at that precinct “than the total of the enrollment ns shown by the tally sheet.” It is further alleged “that ballots were sent to the homes of several persons who were • ill and could not tret to the polls, these tK-inj? deposited jn the ballot box after be- irur scratched.” It is also charged that “ballots were scattered all over the hall, outside the booths, and <it times several persons were in a booth toyrether.” It iw said that there were abo irregularities at the Aiken precinct ;.rnl The Aiken Standard, under the .< apt ion “A Danger Signal." (Hunts out the danjrer that will follow unb-ss the Australian ballot law is strictly en forced. We quote The Standard as follows; . “The [impose of the Australian bal- ot is to safeguard elections, to guarantee to the vote! the ritfM that is his to exercise his ballot ac- <•< rdintr to his own wi-hes, and to < iiminate from poliiny [daces the '»utsid(‘ influences which formerly played so la rye a part in the ohj. *.rne eleitjo’ , Jhine' are .specific us reirardiny fhi- I'mdiK't of ele'- ‘ on under, (lie Au~fra’in;i lialio*. .Vh.le the !< ult ef the primary may not have Lorn materially ihanyed thereby, unfor'utiijtoly thes<' rules and reyulations were yrossly t.hsn yarded at the yolls heic in Aiken Tuesday. The laxity permitted is a lanyerous thiny. and if it -ha'lM’te'al- jowed to continue, we miyht as well yo back to the old system, which, a- a matter of fact, was even fairer, sinee then the abuses could b<*'prac ticed by all and not only by a privi- leyed few. There were yros s viola tions of the rules here Tuesday, speci fic instances of which can be mention- «sl if anyone wants them recounted. Principles are biyyer than men. The riyht i« the paramount issue. It s easy enouyh to declare paKizan- shi|> for a particular candidate. !t din's not require much couraye It is like bettiny at the race track—on the black horse or on the bay mare. But if we are yoiny to permit our par- ti/anshir* to ovehwhelm us to the extent that we are williny to disre gard the riyht, and if we are yoiny to allow the election laws to he trampled under our feet merely for the sake of yettiny as many votes as possible f nr our favorite candidates, it will not i>e lony before the primary, the sanctity of which mmt he upheld if white su premacy is to continue, will be dis credited as unworthy of confidence?. We can not corrupt it and continue to depend upon it.” > The writer saw violations of the law at the Barnwell preuinet and while they were minor ones, even they should not (,>e permitted. We know that it is hard to enforce the law strictly to tho letter, ht t-Fus - should be dom* as tar as possible. If yve condone minor irreyularities, we wid -eon bo winkiny at more important ones and the purpose’, of, the-Austral- bin ballot will be defeated. A- The- Standard riyhtly says. “Principled are biyyer than men." and, “Riyht 1s"The |>aram<runt issue." The Australian ballot law provides a fair and just method of reyisteriny the choice of the pimple, with a minimum possi bility <.f fraud. The, People calls on the manayer^ <>f election in Barnwell County to see that the law is strictly enforced next Tuesday. In no other way can wo hope to keep the priman clean. practicaJly no difference betwe<*n the Catholic and Episcopal Churches. Now, the editor of The People is a Mason, a Kniyht Tern pier and a Shriner and is also a member of the ~ 1 Episcopal Church. So is Mr. Byrne-. We know of no Catholic who can claim membership in the above order.-. And when a person says that there is “practically no difference” between the Catholic ami Episcopal Churches, he makes a misstatement that reflects yross iynorance, to say the least, Webster's International Dic tionary says that episcopalisjn is “the theory that in church yovern- ment supreme authority resides in a IhmIv of bishops, and NOT IN ANY INDIVIDUAL, SUCH AS THE POPE. This theory was rejected by the Roman Catholic Church at the Vati can Council (1869-18700” This at tempt to inject the reiiyious issue into the Senatorial campaiyn should prove a boomerany, especially when based on such yross misstatements, and will he resented by all members of the Protestant Episcopal Church in South Carolina. • The People thanks the executive committeemen and manayers at the various precincts in the (county for their splendid cooperation in sendiny us returns the piyht of the fir-t pri mary election and we request that they nw>|w*rate with us ayain next Tuesday. The numlnT of names on the tickets k -mall and we should be able to yet complete returns by eiyht oVIock. ‘ State Pair Dates. The South Carolina State tail - will be .held thi- year, day and -niyht.

On the afternoon of August .12th, the Death Angel visited the home of Mr. Eddie Morris and took away his beloved father, Mr. William Ransom Morris. He had been ill only a short time, his death lieiny caused by pneu monia. It was in the “Oak'Grove” section of Barnwell County that Mr. Morris was reared and resided until hw death. While quite Q^youny man, he an swered the call of his State, donned the “dray” and followed the flay of the Southern States until the end of the “Confederate War.” He was a yallant soldier v a devout Christian, an affectionate father and a true neiyh- bor. He was seventy-nine years*" of aye and is -urvived by three sons, E<klie Morris, of Barnwell, John A. and W. Anyua Morris, of Olar, iresides a number of yrand-children and friends who mourn his death. t ' ^ x r ? f T ? ❖ f T f ? ? ❖ GCZENA Money back without queition if HUNT'S OUARANTEKD SKIN DISEASE REMEDIES (Hunt’s Salve and Soap i.lai! in the treatment ofltch, Ecremn, Ring:worm,Tetter or other It ch ine <kin iliseaecs Try thir treatmeDt at our riak.
