| CAUSES A MUDDLE | GOV. BLEASt'S ACTION MIGHT I ELECT A NEGRO. | DANGEROUS SITUATION The legislature May be Asked to Amend the Law in Reference to the Primary so as the Democrats Can Name a Candidate for Conr tiwss. The Cliarleston Evening Post says the action of the Governor in appointing April 29 for tlie oleetion of a Congressman from the First district, after the State Democratic executive committee had fixed 'May 2 7 as the date for a primary to nominate a candidate h: ? i!vo"'n the donation into g real c. . us;\ u, and nobody seems to know jus what should be done. If the matter remains as it now stands there will be 110 regular Democratic candidate to go into the election, and it will be a free-for-all fight in that election for anybody who chooses to enter, with a bare plurality of the vote cast sufficing to elect. 1 Gov. Please announced the ap| pointment of the day for the election 1 on Saturday night. He states that in J his opinion the Fi?rst district should have a representative in Congress as early as possible in the extarordinary session about to be called, and that tho State executive committee has unnecessarily extended the time for a choice. The committee, he says, did not confer with him, nor take into consideration his view, announced some time ago, that the election should be held about the middle of April. The Governor said he thought the election should be held in April and he had, in consequence appointed the 2 9th of that month as the day for it. Mr. W. H. Grimball, of Charleston, who attended the meeting of the \ State committee 011 Friday in place I of Capt. G. H. Swan, the committeeman from Charleston county, who is in Washington, stated Monday that the committee had fixed the primary for May 27 as the early date available in view of the laws relating to primaries held in Charleston county, which require that the rolls shall be filed with the county auditor 60 days before the primary and that 3 0 days be allowed for enrolment before the rolls are filed. He said that he did not know what would be done to solve tlio problem made by the Governor. None of the candidates who have announced for the office was prepared to talk of the situation. All who TV orn cpftii u'nvo atrniiP' in r>vnrf>?ai n tr " Vi v wv,v>,t " V/1 ^ Ul 4 Wlin 4,1 N/MU...0 a hope that a primary would he held, but how this was to be brought about none was prepared to suggest. The plan which has alreadv been proposby , The Evening Post?that the Legislature bo requested to pass a special act, avoiding the special regulations for filing of the rolls, and authorizing the holding of the primary on the enrolment accepted for the primary of last August?appealed to a great many people who considered the situation, and it was pointed out that it was not too late to have such an act put through the General Assembly, which will probably be in session the rest of this week. The registered vote of the district Is, all told, probably not more than 8,000, of which 2,000, say, are RepubMcr.ns. The Democratic vote at an election would be about 0,000. Tlmre are now seven candidates in the race for Congressman, and there is held may he more before ttie election is held. If the seven now in the ' rare should divide equally the Demo-! cratic strength in the general elec- ( tion, each would have about 850 | votes. As a plurality of the votes j card is all that is needed to elect, a I candidate receiving 900 votes might be elected, though that would bo only seven and a half per cent, cf the primary strength of the Democrats of the district, the vote in the last primary having been about 1 2,000. "The ac'ion of Governor lUease in ordering the election in the fmst, congressional district to be held on April 27, will probably mean that no pri- : mary election will be held an 1 that the Democratic party will go to the polls without a legular nominee." This statement was made Monday morning to a reporter for The Spartanburg Journal by John Gary Mvans, chairman of the executive committee of the party in ibis State. Continuing, Mr. Evans raid: "The negro vote in the first district is larger than in any other district of the State, and it may be possible In a close race, for the negro to hold the balance of power. In that event it will just be a scramble among the candidates for the negro vote." . ? ? German Aviator Meets Death. At Muelhausen, Germany, a German military aviator, Sorgt. Helfersnider, was killed and and his companion, Lieut. Linke, seriouslly injured Wednesday. Their aeroplane fell while they were flying round the military aerodome. Helfersn'der took one of the turns too sharply and the machine toppled over backwards. % WHAT ABOUT THIS? SOME STAHTLING EDUCATIONAL STATISTICS. Figures Which Argue the Pressing Need of Educution of the White Hoys and Girls. To the Editor of The News and Courier: The passage by the House of Representatives almost unanimously of the compulsory education win iu of thn imrnt honeful siirns Mill 10 Uliv vy ?. v??v ? r w of the awakening of the white people of South Carolina to the fact that they are falling behind the negroes of the State in the educational race. Let us all consider the following facts from the advance bulletins of the thirteenth census, taken In There were the following nuii. of white voters in this State in tit,: year: Whites, born in America, 15 9,009. iirn bovp 3.55 5. l\Hai while, '.02,3??4. Of these there were 110 'ess the following who could not write: Native white, 1 7,599. Foreign born, 20G. Total illiterates, 17,805. Rather more than one white voter in every ten in South Carolina, born 5 i TT?^ J t n/1 Q o i na i \xr r\ von ru n orn Ill I I1U U 111 LCH UKUVCj I, ?t V J V14 1 u un\y could not write and only one in every sixteen born outside. This is a decrease among the whites of not 2 per cent, in the last ten years, while the negroes have decreased their illiteracy by 11 per cent. Where is this illiteracy to be found? Look at these figures. I give percentages only of white voters. Aiken, 12.4. Anderson, 12.3. Berkeley, 16.7. Cherokee, 17.6. Chesterfield, 19.5. Darlington, 17.9. Dillon, 16.6. Florence, 11.2. Georgetown, 12. Greenville, 11.4. Horry, 1 8.5. Lancaster, 12.9. Lee, 11.1. Marion, 12.2. Marlboro, 18.4. Oconee, 17.4. Pickens, 15.1. Spartanburg, 15. Union. 1 2. Williamsburg, 15. York, 10.6. The other twenty-three counties all have less than 10 per cent., Charleston County having only 1.7 who can not write among native whites, or 221 white illiterates among 9,888 native and foreign voters. Among all the voters in Charleston County, white and colored, 23,519 in number, only 20 per cent., white and colored, cannot write, which Is not much greater than the illiteracy of Chesterfield among the whites alone. Shall we wait until sixty years expire to have this reproach removed? By that time, at the rate prevailing for the last ten years, the negro illiteracy will have disappeared thoroughly. The negro illiteracy is now 38.7 per cent, and the whites 10.8 per cent. The white illiteracy in sixty years in the whole state win oe anout what it is among the whites of Charleston County now, if it decreases not 2 per cent, every ten years, and tho negroes would have reached that rate fully twenty-five years before. The optional law will allow those counties to adopt it which feel that the children are not sent to school because the parents refuse to send them, when opportunities are afforded for their education, and will allow other counties where the law is rot reeded, or where there are no facilities, not to put it in force. Joseph W. Barnwell. Charleston, February 2G, 1013. XECJRO MURDERER FREED. Com let From Charleston CJiven Freedom by Dlea.se. Gov.
