Two years ago the Newberry
Herald and News, the strongest supporter
that Former Governor Blease
has had among the State's newspapers,
advocated the candidacy of Hon.
R. A. Cooper for governor.
The Democrats of the county are
reminded again of the fact that it
will be necessary for them to enroll
with their club secretaries or enrollment
committees before they can
\
vote in the ^primaries this summer.
Under the new primary rules of the
Democratic party in this State no
person can vote unless he is properly
enrolled. The enrollment books will
f
remain open until one month before
the first primary. See your secretary
or a member of your local enrollment
committee now while you
+v?ir?vinpr about it. Everv white
Uli V VliAJJ? w
man in the county eligible to vote
\ should participate in the primaries.
Voters tailing to enroll will have only
themselves to blame if they neglect
to comply with the party regulations.

The Yorkville Enquirer, one of the
best papers in the South, last Friday
published the full speech of the former
governor at the campaign meeting
in Spartanbhrg, to the exclusion
of the speeches of every other candidate
for governor. Yet, the Enquirer
would reply, doubtless, if questioned,
that it has no candidate for
governor.
According to a circular letter sent
out by the State superintendent of
education.to the county superintendents,
last election year 22 per cent, of
the Democratic voters in South Carolina
enrolled their names on the
club rolls with a cross mark, indicating
that they were unable to sign
their names. In other words yiere
are something like 30,000 white male
persons in South Carolina above the
age of 21 who eannot sign their
names. This is an appalling condi
tion of affairs. There is now a compulsory
school attendance law upon
the statutes of the State. Any school
district can invoke the enforcement
of this law very easily; yet, so far
as we know, not a school district in
Bamberg county has availed itself of
this law. There is no reason to hope
that the present adult persons unable
to write will ever be able to'do so;
but the county or the school district
can prevent this from being true as
regards the next generation. Individually,
the writer has never believed
that the law should be local
optional; but, since it is so, ,let us
make the best of it. There ^are num-y
bers of boys and girls right here in
Bamberg who do not attend school.
They should be compelled to attend.
The State and the county owe it to
the people at large to see that such
ignorance does not prevail. It is
dangerous to the State; it is dangerous
to the county, and to the Demo
cratic party.

It was in a country store in Arkansas.
A one-gallus customer drifted
in. "Gimme a nickel's worth of assafetida."
The clerk poured same assafetida
in a paper bag and pushed it across
the counter.
"Charge it," drawled the customer.
"What's your name," asked the
clerk.
"Honeyfunkle."
"Take it," said the clerk. "I would
not write asafetida and Honeyfunkle
for five cents."?San Francisco Bulr

HISTORY OF STREET CAR. (
i
First Electric Vehicle Ran at Rich- c
mond, VaM 28 Years Ago. t
I
The wonderful development of j
electricity is best typified by the mi- ^
raculous # growth of the street car, \
which is less than 30 years old, and g
yet has been installed in nearly t
every important* city in the world, g
I In these few years electric traction t
i has been developed and extended un- t
i
I til there are, in this country alone, l
I nearly 2,000 different companies in s
! operation, with a total capital stock \
| of more than $4,000,000,000. Be- j
; ginning in the larger cities, the elec- (
j trie service has been extended from j
i city to city, from village to village, f
| until it is now possible to make a c
trip from Boston to St. Louis almost i
entirely by trolley. ]
Twenty-eight years ago every large t
city had its horse cars and horse- (
drawn carry-alls. They are both cu- s
riosities now. As late as 1890 there e
were not more than 1,000 miles of \
electric railways in the United States, e
Early attempts to use electricity e
| as motive power resulted in a few ]
scientific toys before 1882. Thomas i
Davenport, the Vermont blacksmith, t
who invented the electric motor in c
1835, constructed a toy car, which i
ran around a circular track. Thret> c
years later a Scotch inventor made a i
small electric locomotive. A number 1
of such locomotives were built dur- i
ing succeeding years until the Berlin c
exposition in 1879, when Messrs. i
Siemens and Halske' constructed an i
electric line of about a third of a
mile in length. The first regular 2
commercial line in the world was at 1
Lichterfelde, near Berlin, operating c
in 1880, but was not a success. Edi- t
son, Field, Van Depoele, Knight and i
many others experimented in electric 1
traction at this time. t
The first actually successful com- i
mercial electric railway, i. 9., the 1
first electric operation of the com- (
plete street railway lines of a city, i
was established in 1887, in Rich- t
1 mn j 1 x
mona, va. ine roaa oegan operating
in February, 1888, and was essentially
the overhead trolley system
now used, comprised 11 miles of
track, had 30 cars operating in July,!
11888, and has been in continuous
| and successful operation ever since.
The phenomenal development and
growth of electric street railway traction
revolutionized not only city, but
also suburban and interurban transportation.
From 1890 up to the
present the mileage has steadily increased
at the average of about 3,i

)00 miles per year. In the developnent
and improvement of motors and
>ther apparatus essential to electric
raction, the General Electric com)any
has figured with iparked promilence.
In 1895 electric railway
equipment reached what might
)e considered a staple tyasis of design.
Fundamental features, such as
he enclosed motor, carbon brushes,
series drum winding, single reduc;ion
gearing, magnetic controller and
he under-running trolley had then
>ecome established. There were in
service at this time approximately
*5,000 motor cars equipped with
ibout a half a million horse power
)f motors. A gieat many of the
)ioneer car motors were too smafl
:or the work, because early designers
lid not appreciate the amount of
)ower required to accelerate a car.
n 1895 the average rating of raUvay
car motors was 25-horse power.
)ther forms of street railway propulsion
gradually disappeared until
ibout 1900, when electric operation
vas practically supreme. Then there
existed some 20,000 miles of city
dectric railways. From 1900 to
L 910 the electric railway extended j
apidly to surburban and interurban
ransportation. Coincident with this
levelopment there was a tremendous
ncrease in the size and weight of
?ars. The average horse power of
ailway motors increased from 35lorse
power in 1900 to 63-horse
)ower in 1910, and large interurban
;ars were equipped with four motors,
vhile city cars generally were equip)ed
with two.
This increase in power brought
ibout great improvements in coptrol
ing apparatus. The multiple unit
jontrol for the operation of cars in
rains on elevated and subway lines,
nterurban roads and later for reguar
surface cars was developed. With =
he simplification of control was also
ntroduced forced motor ventilation,
eduction in the weight of motor
jquipments and increase in efficiency, t
mprovement in commutation and in- a*
;roduction of commutation poles, per-|
iection of air brake apparatus, intro-; g]
luction of field control, etc. j si
Since .that early morning twenty jo
rears ago, when the firsts electric car n
glided over the rails in the streets of ir
Richmond, motors have been brought ai
:o such a point of perfection that st
jlectric cars are rapidly encroaching i U
m the steam engine and threaten to: g:
:ake its place entirely in a few years. c<
rhe principles which Sprague used in u
:he construction of the first car and ri
power line are about the same as in tl
ictual use today. He invented the s<
