M. Glenn, elly editor of the Charleston livening Post, who has been visiting relative? in Anderson county,, says that the people of Char leal on are greatly pleawed with the new election law lhere. It has been recommended for general use through out South Curoliua. A year ago in thc special election for congre-ninan there. wa? awful talk, In fact the scandal was taken to congress and the report theron seemed to indicate that one side had Just cheated less than the other- It hus long notorious that the names of dead men were kept on the Charles? ton democratic club roll*, und the names of foreigners who arc not nat ralized citizens also cluttered up tho rolls. This condition gave every opportunity for fraud In elections. But there has been no cry of froud, no allegation of trlcL ry as an out come of the recent spirited election in Charleston. Tho Australian ballot system as adopted to govern tho voting in the primary elections in the city of Char leston was the product of the brain, of Leland Moore. It was thc result of years of study and Investigation. It acted as the flying wedge to break up Illegal voting in the metropolis of this State. The rules require that tho voting places must be reputable places. None aro allowed In saloons. The voting booth were provided with guard rails BO that none but the voter could ap proach the box and no no one could get within five feet of the voter. Tho booth Into which the voter was taken to prepare tho ballot was 6 feet, six Inches high, 32 inches deep, with a curtain over the front and a shelf on which the voter could pre pare his ticket. All ballots wore numbered and the managers of election were under sol emn oath to protect the ballots. The voter was given not more than flvo minutes to prepare hts ticket.. The voter then presented himself before the managers tore off the number of hts ballot, stamped the vote pari of the. ballot and let the JAfcgS deposit it!'' ff a voter marred or defaced a ballot, the had to return lt before he could get ano th or. :] ?..'' The following is a very lin portant section of the law: . S ,? No person shall < ho & allowed within the guard rall except ah ls hardnbofpro , provided* . una voter cannot read nor write or ls phyafcal l*k> disable* tana* : fSSP&P^ thereof, did hot sign his own application, ne may appeal to the managers for as sistance, and the" "chairman 'br'tho managers,, may appoint . two; of.'.the watchers representing j dit forent i fac tions to assis: .him lb preparing ids ballot. After the voter's ballot has been prepared the watchers so ap pointed shall-go Immediately behind the guard.rall. Booths were supplied at each poll ing place for every 100 names or ma jority faction thereof on tho club rolls'. Every precaution was taken to pre serve tho secrecy of the ballot and at the same time to prevent the voter from being approached, annoyed, or Intimidated. The law was very strict aa to who --ire entitled to hang iround while the votea wero being counted, Certain delegates "watch Sirs" for candidates wore permitted, but trio general public waa excl?de?V/ ?'ifjt is.conceded,tc*; havev^/jbeen 'the cleanestand .jilieat .election ever hold. In,the city cM? ?hnrj?ft?n. T,b.e people' clamored for aa: honest elec tion- and got. The'?Wglng^pf8 the cldb, rolls : befor^H^-^^ar^^?wed nany startling thinga^araiong these being that names on the club rolls bad been taken from the hotel regis ters and tombstones. . However,-the enrollment system in Charleston ac eds perfecting. Leland Moore believes that the bal lot is ono ot the greatest gifts of a State. He believes that the vote mould be'above suspicion. "The elec tion laws In South Carolina," said Mr. Moore, "are lax and loose Jointed., rh ey are the worst ot any state in the United states. The elections as s rule are conducted In the crudest possible manner and I don't see how anybody worth Anything has ever been, elected to an office in South Carolina." , 5; Mr.' Moore, in a recent interview, said that tho Aus ir ali an bal tot system bad effected ? great saving In funds to: tho politicians and office'seekers fe. egleston. .. -H^ 8&*dvt^at'.yt??i waa 'nb Chance* to spend money ari Maal elaqtlan^ >>v> > , . , In'this same Interview, - Mr.3 Mooro summarised tn the following man ner the results of tho election plan in Charleston: The/votv..* is not given a ballot un til ho appears before the .managers: He; goes toto , the booth ales* tc prepare MB ticket. Before coming out he folds his tick et and greatest ot all the secrecy of the hallet ts maintained. Th?r? ta tiny, little extra cost to the county. . : And finally tah electioa is clean. TIMK8 IIAVK CHANGED The Greenwood .Journal in ii? liewa columns says that thc "postolflce at Phoenix will ho discontinued unless someone suitable; for tho position ac cepts the appointment by Congrcss man Aiken." The Greenwood paper then pub lishes correspondence between the post office department and Congress man Aiken In which' Mr. Aiken Wuds out the "S. O., S.'".'eitft of the , wireless. ' If some, patriot doesn't offer his services the office will go. Phoenix ls a pince somewhat fa-: mous in state history aa the scene of the last defiant viand of; the Republi cans in this state. 9 '<? In 1898 tficre was a bloody riot at Phoenlx/an'd'as u *csulf. a prominent white farmer wau killed nnd scores of negroes were shot down. The bloody affair occured on general el ection day and was caused by tho j negroes crowding up to the polia and | giving trouble to tho white men. Tho leader of the Republicans was Col. Jno. R. Tolbert, who fought gamely, but waa taken to Columbia for safe keeping. He was seriously wounded. For a day or two mad dened citizens rode over Greenwood county terrifying negroes in the ef fort to avenge the death of Mr. Ethe ridge. AB a result, the next year ne gro labor waa scarce In that section of tho county and all Interests Buf fered . It la now a marvel of desuetude that I BO quiet are political conditions at Phoenix that even the poBt office goes ] begging. . ' 00000 o o o o o o o o OBITUARY \ o oooooooooooo Mrs. W. H.
