Who is going to swal low tho story that an Englishman was riding last? > ? * Protect the Primary. Greenville and Bamberg counties re port frauds in the recent primaries. It the primary us an institution I<j to he preserved, the General Assembly niuet enact laws rigidly protecting it. There is evident in the State toino growing dissatisfaction with it as a method of choos'ng officials and if its friends would save it they must isssat upon the adoption of measures to keep it clean. The Parker Letter. The Utter of acceptance of Judge Parker has aroused considerable Demo cratic enthusiasm throughout the country and it is evident that new life has been b oathod into a campaign horotoforo du'l to a degree. Tne Re publican newspapers deory the lettor with un tnimlty bu*. the amount of spaoe they devote to it indicates that they are f<?r from cocksure of Koosevelt'a election. Meanwht'e, Mr. Babcook, Chairman of the Republican Congressional Com mit toe, has publicly admitted the pos tibi'lty of the Democrats carrying the lower house and oalls on his party to rally in tho face of the danger. All in all, the signs aro distinctly more en* couraging to the Democracy than they were a fortnight ago. The contral and dominant noto of Judge Parker's letter is the plea for constitutional government, ? govern ment by the law as against the rule or mlsru'.e of a petulaut and impetuous egotist. Ir is convincing In its common sense?is rather important as indica tive of the sterling common sense and safe balance of the man behind it rather than as n dazzling appeal to the imag ination of superGcial voters' The ilaring Mr. Poosevelt has never been elected President of the United States and Is yet far from any such triumph. Tho American people are not commonly prone to choose a "cheap skate" politician for this highly re speotable position. Mineral Spring. A fine mineral spring, located on the estate of tho late Cant. Johu McGowan near Cross Hill is about to bedevelopd ed. It is said to be an excellent min eral water and the flow is quite bold. Victim of (Jin Accident.

In raising up tho breast, of ?Im ?in_ one of his bunds was caught in the saws and before the machinery could be stopped his arm w?s terribly mangled, necessitating amputation of the mem ber. He died live hours later from the loss of blood and the frightful shock received at the time of the accident. County Teachers* Association to Meet.
