M. donn, city editor of tho Charleston Evening Pout, who has been visiting relatives in Anderson county,, says that me people of Char leston are greatly pleased with thu new election law there. It has been recommended for general use through-1 out South Carolina. A year ago in the special election for congressman there was awful falk, le fa<*t tho scandal was taken to congress and the report theron seemed to indicate that one side iiad Just cheated less than the other- It has long notorious that the names of dead men were kept on tho Charles ton democratic club mir, and the names of foreigners who are not nat ralized citizens also cluttered up the rolls. This condition gave every opportunity for fraud in elections. But there has been no cry of fraud, no allegation of trickery as an out come of the recent spirited election in Charleston. The Australian ballot system, as adopted to govern the voting in the primary elections in the city of Char leston waa the product of the brain of Leland Moore. It was the result ol years of study and inverilgation. It anted anthe flying .wedge to break up illegal voting in the metropolis of this State. The rules require that the voting places must be reputable places. None are allowed In saloons. Tho voting booth were provided with guard raitt so thst none but the voter could ap proach the box and no no one could get wl'hln Ave feet of the voter. The booth into which the voter wat taken to prepare . the ballot was ( feet, six Inches high, 32 inches deep with a curtain over the front and t shelf on which the voter could pre pare bis ticket. All ballots were numbered and tb? managers of election were under sol emt? oath to protect the ballots. Th? voter was given not more than liv? minutes to prepare his ticket.. Th? voter then presented himself befon the managers tore off the number o his ballot, stamped the vote part o tho ballot and let the - voter drposl it. If a voter marred or defaced i ballot, be had to return lt before h could get another. The following ls a very importan B?ct?on ot tue la1*; V. No person shall be al lowe within the guard rail except ai I hereinbefore provided. It a vote cannot, road nor write pr ia physical ly disabled and by reason thereo did not sign his own application, h may appeal to the managers for ai sistance, and the chairman of th managers, may appoint two of th watchers representing different fa< tiona to assist him in preparing hi ballot. After the voter's ballot be been prepared the watchers so a] pointed shall go immediately benin the guard rall. Booths were supplied at each ?ol lng placo for every 100 names or mi Jority faction thereof on the ck rolls. . Every precaution was taken to pr serve the secrecy ot the ballot and i the same time to prevent the vot< from being approached, annoyed, i Intimidated. The law.waa very stn as to who were entitled to har around while the votes wara, belt counted. Certain delegates "watc! er?" far candidates were permitted, b toe'guter*( public was.excluded. ' it ttr conoeded to have been ll cleanest and fairest eI.ectlou ev held In the city of Charleston. Ti people clamored ter an honest ele tlon-snd get. The urging of 'tl club rolls befoie the. primary show many startling things-among the being that names on the club roi bad been taken from the hotel re*i tera and tombstones. However, t enrollment system in Chariest needs perfecting. Leland Moore believes that the bi lot ls one of the greatest gifts ot State. He believes that the vc should be above suspicion. "The el? tlon laws in South Carolina," si Mr. Moore, "aro lax and loose Jointe They are the worst of any state tho United States. The elections, a rule are conducted in the crud? possible manner and I don't see hi anybody worth anything hos ei been elected to an office in Soi Carolina." Mr. Moora, tu a recent tpterVk said that the Australian ballot syst? had effected a great tSvlog in fur to the politicians and office. sees) In Charleston. He said that th? was no chance to spend money the last election." In this same interview, Mr. Mot summarised In ti* following mi ner the results of the election plan Charleston : The voter ls not given a ballot 1 til ha appears bet?r? the manager He goes into the booth alone prepare his ticket.

Phoenix is i place somewhat fa mouB in state history as the scene of the last defiant stand of the Republi cans In this state. In 1898 there was a bloody riot at Phoenix, and as a result, a prominent white farmer was killed and scores of negroes were Bhot down. The bloody affair occured on general el ection day and was caused by the negroes crowding up to the polls and giving trouble to the white men. The leader of the Republicans was Col. Jno. R. Tolbert, who fought gamely, but was taken to Columbia for safe keeping. He was seriously wounded. F\>r af day ol' two mad dened citizens rode over Greenwood county terrifying .negroes in the ef fort to avenge the death of Mr. Ethe ridge. As a result, the next year ne gro labor was scarce in that section of the county and all interests suf fered. It ls now a marvel of desuetude that so quiet are political conditions at Phoe .Ix that even the post office goos begging. ooooooooooooo 9 O o (MUTUA RY o o o oooooooooooo Mrs. W. H.

By a HENRY Cosyrbjht 1911. by toutNay. Pw I Cs. MISS MABU M A MEACHAM kept the little bakery on the corner (the ?ne where you go up turee steps, and tile bell tinkles when you open the door). Miss Martha wan forty, her bank book showed a credit of $2,000, and she possessed two false teeth and a sympathetic heart Many people Lave married whose chances to do so were much inferior to Mis* Martha's. Two or three times a week o <*tj? tomer came lu. tn whom she began to take an interest. Ile was a middle aged man, wearing spectacles and. a brown beard trimmed to a careful point He spoke English with a strong Ger man accent His clothes were worn and darned in places and wrinkled and baggy In others. But he looked neat and had very good moaners. He always bought two loaves of stale bread. Fresh bread was 5 cents a loaf. Stale ones were two for 5. Never did he call for anything but stale bread. Once Miss Martha saw a red and brown stain on his lingers. She was sure then that he was an artist and "You hat here a fino bicturs, madam.'' very poor. No doubt he lived lb n goulet, Uueiit hw painted, picture? uua ate stale bread and thought of the good things to eat in Miss Martha's bakery. Often when Miss Martha sat down to her "hops and light rolls and Jam and tea she would sigh sud wish that the gentle mannered or . might share her tasty meal inet?sd of eating his' dry crust in that drafty attic. Miss Mar tha's heart as you have been told, was a sympathetic one. In order to teat her theory as to bia occupation, she brought from ber room one day a painting that she had bought at a sale ?nd atjt it against tba shelves ( behind the bread counter. ' M IC was a Venetian scene. A splendid marble palasxto (so it said on the pic ture) steed in the foreground-or, rath er, forewater.

One day the customer came in as usgcl, laid his nickel on the showcase and called for bis stale loaves. While Miss Martha was reaching: for them ?itero was a great tooting and clanging, and a fire engine came lum bering past. The customer hurried to the door to look, as any one will. Suddenly in spired. Mit's Martha seized the oppor tunity. On thc, bottom shelf beblud the couftw ter was fa, pound of fresh butter that the dairyman .had left ten minutes be fore.

"Drummkopf !" be shouted with ex treme loudness, and then "Tauscndon fed" or something like it In.German. The young man tried to draw bim away.
