Those of a personal nature will not be published unless paid for. Thursday, Oct. 20,1904 The Newberry Observer suggests that members of the legislature shall be ineligible for election to any office by that body. An admirable idea, but one not likely to be popular with the Solons. My, what a blasting of political aspirations \ snch a rule would bring about! Let us put a stop*to these negroes and white men running for congress for the sake of the $2,000 and expenses which they get out of the government oy making a contest. The Democrats can slop it by polling a full vote. Every man owes it to himself and to his State to turn out and cast his ballot for the Democratic nominees. There is no lack*0* candidates for the judgeships to be filled by the coming legislature. All the poor over-worked judges are standing for re-election, and plenty of other patriots want the jobs. Yet the cry is that we need more circuits and the judges have too much work to do. However, the legislature will hardly have the temerity to create any new circuits, just yet anyhow. 1 If some of the rumors flying about Columbia were printed, Senator Tillman I might find it to his interest to come home aha look into his pet institution.?Conway Field. Why, what does this mean? Brother Bice should talk plainer and let us know what these rumors are. J)oes it mean that there is something wrong with that great moral (?) institution, the dispensary ? Let ns have the rumors by all means. v . James Henry Itice, Jr., editor of the Conway Field, puts it this way: "When a State violates every law of God and man by electing small men to great offices, then lawlessness and all the other evils of decadent society may be expected. It is contrary to nature that the weak should role the strong." This is a strong expression, but in the main it is correct, and Is along the same line that The Herald has been expressing itself recently. Many people are of the opinion that small men are holding great offices in South Carolina. We need and should have a change. Congressman Wyat*Aiken was re-nombuated in the August primary, yet he says bat money was spent to buy votes to defeat him From many sections of the State comes the cry of rottenness in the primaries?vote buying and selling, etc. Jut what are we going to do about it ? Fhat we want to do is to better condiions. We are concerned about the matter, elieving that voters who can bepurchas& will not act honest in any transaction fthey can avoid it. This matter of sellig votes is getting entirely too common, ad something must be done if the integty and honesty of our people is to be reserved. We favor anything which is fcely to eliminate this corruption. The ustralian ballot system is all right. Why >t adopt it or go back to the convention I plan ? Of the two, however, we believe we like the secret ballot better. We have no desire to quarrel with Governor Heyward because of his pardon of Hoyt Hayes. We have no doubt but that he acted conscientiously and did his duty as he saw it. However, the governor by this action arrogates to himself more wisdom than was possessed by the twelve jurymen who rendered the verdict, and the Judge on the bench. The Judge declined to interfere with the verdict of guilty, refused a new trial, and he with the solicitor would not recommend the pardon. We believe the governor has I made a fearful mistake?one which will put him to much trouble to prevent lynching and result in much harm to the State. We must confess to have lost heart. We have protested against the "carnival of crime" and spirit of lawlessness which seems to be rampant in this State, but the newspapers can say. little to restrain the mob when matters go on as they do now. And this does not refer to pardons entirely, either. Delays of the law occasioned by appeals and other devices of attorneys create mob law. The State Democratic executive committee met in Columbia last Monday night to consider an appealed case from Greenville county over .the nomination of a supervisor. Our readers are no doubt familiar with the case. The vote in that county for supervisor was very close, but on the face of the returns Walker was elected and declared the pv. nominee. His opponent, Speegle, con? tested the election and at a later meeting he was declared the nominee by the county committee. The State corner mitte declined to interfere, claiming that it had no jurisdiction. The &? > vote in the State committee stood 13 to "VT- J V. .1 . :ll !10. uuuui liic uuiiicat win uun 5\j iu the general election, and it ought to. Gross fraud was practiced in the primary, and we cannot blame either man for not being satisfied with the result. In the interest of fairness and harmony, the State committee should have ordered a new primary This body has done so !?"' before, and should do so again. An ap ?; * peal was carried up from Sumter county a few years ago, and the State committee ordered another primary to decide the matter.
