E. H. AJLL. EDTOb. NO OMRE PLEDGES NEEDED. One of the most imoortant questions before theStateConvention, which meets inGolumbia onWednesday,is the matter of pledges to be required of candidates and voters. Heretofore the only pledge has been that they abide the result of the primary and support the nominees of the Democratic party. This was suf ficient. Any white man professing to be a Denocrat could participate in the primary, and the sole objezt of the pri mary was to maintain the political su premacy of the white man. That pledge is sufficient today. There is no use whatever in requiring a man to pledge himself to the support of a platform adopted several years ago, or any part of that platform. If he goes before the people in the primary and his views do not appear to them to be sound Democratic doctrine, they can so say at the ballot box. It is the right of the people to decide on such matters for themselves. So long as a white man professes to be a Democrat and pledges himself to abide the result of the Dem ocratic primary he should be allowed to enter the primary; and so long as a white man professing to be a Democrat pledges himself to support the nomi nees of the party he should be allowed to vote. This plan amounts to nothing more nor less than a scheme for the continuance of a white man's govern ment and places the whole responsibil ity upon the people, where as a matter of right and justice it belongs. We are glad to note that the attend ance at the Charleston Exposition holds up. If it could only have been so for the past several months the Exposition would have been a much greater success financially. For the past several weeks the city of Charleston has been full of vsitors to the great show, and they have all enjoyed it very much. The rates have been so low, and living in Charleston so cheap, that there is scarcely auy excuse for any one not attending the Exposition. The rates have been cheaper than ever known before. Just think of riding from Newberry to Charleston 'and return, nearly four hundred miles, for $2.60. This rate has been on for several weeks and will continue for the balance of the month, tickets on sale on Tuesdays and Thursdays. Every South Carolinian who has not been to this exposition should make haste to go at once. Only two more weeks remain. We are pleased to know that so many of our own Newberry people have taken advantage of this op. portunity, but if there are any left they should go at once. The Southern Rail way has been giving us a special New berr coach every Tuesday. We guar. antee that every one who will go will be delighted and never regret the time or the money spent. The big day, however, is to be Wednes day of next week, 22d, known as Wagenei Day, so designated in honor of-Capt PF. W. Wagener, who is president of the exposition company, and who has been~ pocketing most of the loss. This should be the banner day of the exposition, and we hone there will be large crowds in at tendanice from all parts of the State. Souvenir tickets have been placed on sale in advance, and no doubt the at tendance will be immense. It should be so. The railroads have done their part to make the exposition by the low rates they have given, without which the attendance would have been very small. No expositioris have ever been finan - clal successes in the sense of making money for the promoters or yielding div idends on the capital invested. But this exposition is bound to do good - .r Char leston, the whole State and the entire South. Its benefits will be lasting, and all the people will share in ,the harvest. -There should be rejoicing that it has been as successful financially as it has been. The argument for and against the county-to-county State campaign still goes on. It is not likely that the op~ position to the system will amount to anything, but that the State C'onven tion,next week will continue the same old plan. However, as we have said all along, we can not see the use in holding a campaign meeting in each county of the State. In fact, we can see DO use in candidates for secretary of State, at torney general, comptroller general, treasurer, and such like offices, goivg into the campaign at all. Their duties are purely ministerial, and it matters not to the people what may be their views on any issue, so that they are honorable white men and capable of discharging the duties of their office * The best plan, it seems to us, and the one which we have before suggested, is to hold one campaign meeting at some central point in each congres-ional district and consume one, two or three days time, if necessary, giving each candidate a chance to present his mer its and his views fully. Under the plan which has been in force only a very few minutes are allowed to each speaker and that short time is usually taken up in showing what he considers 'the demerits of his opponents. Much of this personal abuse would be done away with by cutting down the num ber of meetings and giving to each speaker more time. But if we ard to have a campaign meeting in each county, then the plan of t wo campaign rparties, suggested by Senator Tillman at Manning, is the * best solution. It is true, tnat "the limitation on the time of the candi dates for the important offices, if it be continued, will absolutely destroy all Inte..est in the meetings. and finally destroy the primary system itself." Some revision of the old plan should be made. We believe limiting the number of the meetings and giving more time to each speaker would ac complish the results desired; but if this is not done, and we do not believe it will be, then we favor two campaign parties, starting on opposite sides of the State, which would give two cam-: paign days in each .county. Even if this is done the daily news papers will searcely run two sets of re porters and the speeches and views of the candidates will not get publicity except as it is gotten from the spoken speech. The primary is all right for it gives the people a right to express their views on publicquestions and the peo ple a right to say by a majority vote whom they want for the various offices and it takes a majority vote to elect, but we do not want to load it down nor tire the people with it. The Governor has decided on the three acts passed by the last legisla ture and which he has been holding up since the adjournment. One was to define the relations between connect ing lines of common carriers. After hearing the arguments of those who favored the act and those who opposed it the governor decided to approve it. The main argument presented against the act was that it was unconstitu tional. The act was submitted to the attorney general and he gave an opin ion which might be construed on the side of the constitutionality of the act and which might be construed as an effort to evade the issue. The other two were an act to ab>lish the office of phosphate inspector and to devolve the duties of that office on the county auditors and a -joint resolution to write off the books of the treasurer the Blue Ridge bonds owned by the old State bank. Both of these the governor will veto. It strikes us that the city council- has made the penalty in the spitting ordi nance out of proportion when the penalty in the other ordinances published today is considered. It is a good ordinance, and can be easily enforced. The citizen who expectorates will soon form the habit of missing the sidewalk, but we be lieve to have made the fine from one to five dollars would have had a better ef fect That is the penalty fixed in a similar ordinance in the city of Columbia, and the ordinance is rarely violated. BACUSIAN CHAPEmL LECITER. All the News Around Bachman Chapel and Union Academy Interestingly Told by T. J. W. Another good season on Sunday night and the crops look quite promising. The candidates are beginning to pop out as thick as three in a bed. We no tice our old friend, L. I. Epting, has entered the race for auditor. He has a host of friends over the country and will be hard to beat. Mr. J. E Long of Newberry was on the sick list last week He came down to bir' father's on Friday and stayed over till Sunday, returning somewhat improved. Mr. M. L. Strauss went down to Co lumbia last week to sell a lot of cotton wich he bad stored for some time, and from there he went to the exposition at Charleston. Where is our editor? We thought that he would have announced himself before now as a candidate for Secretary of State. What are you waiting on? The people are expecting such a thing. So pop your whip and let 'em roll. Mr. T. E. McCullough and sister, Miss Ada, of Whbitmire section, paid us a visit last Saturday and Sunday. Mrs. Mahala Werts visited her son, J. W. Werts, in Newberry last week, returning home on Sunday. Mrs. D. A. Livingstone and children, of Newberry, spent Saturday night and Sunday with Mr. and Mrs.8S. J. Kinard, returning home on Monday. Mr. Thomas L. B. Epps repor-ts an egg with two distinct shells, the inner shell which enclosed the yolk of the egg was as thick as an ordinary shell of a hen's egg, and the outer shell en closing tbe white was fully as thick and hard as that of an ordinary egg. Mr. L. 0. Griffin, of New berry, spent last Saturday night with u:. Mr. J. Nolen Epps caught two young owls and put them in a cage near the front yard The old mother and father owls have been very attentive every night since bringing their children food. This shows that the parental love extends further thani the human race. The Rock Hill Herald gave an ac count of an April snow which says bhe 'snow occiirred on Sunday, April 15, 1841. We are informed by Capt. Glenn Metts who says he remembers the snow very well, and that the snow came on Sunday, April 15, 1849, and, not in '41, as was stated. We suppose this was perhaps a typographical error. Mr. Redman Kinard and sister, Miss Ida, and Mr. and Mrs. Luther Pugh, of Newberry cotton mills, spent Satur day night and Sunday with relatives in this section. Mr. S. A. Rikard, of Long Lane, vis ited his brother, B. B. Rikard, last Sat *urday night. I want to say to our Long Lane cor respondent to write often. We have a host of kin folks and friends in that section, whbich al ways makes us anxious to hear from 3 ou. Old Jolly Street's still on its feet Withb a line of groceries bard to beat; Te people say it's Singley's play And his goods are in his way. It's the economical kitchen grocery store. That's led by Lee Singly whose motto is to sell more I bave often beard thatit's a riget good plan to measure a man by b'is own yard stick, and so it is. Mr. William Johnson -has out a yard stick represent ing his general line of hardware, and this yard stick measures fully 36 inches. While Mr Johnson don't measure out his plows, hoes and all otber farmiig implements by the yard, they are sold you with full 16 ounces to the pound which is on the same principle, and if Christianity means anything at all it mean honesty in business transactions. The young folks had a musical enter tainment at Mr. L. I Feagle's last Sat urday night. Mr Feagle's daughter, who is teaching at Saluda Old Town, was down on a visit to her parents. , Mr. Editor, I have been in favor of a special road tax for a considerable while, and in one or more of my articles I recommeuded that we take the dis pensary profits for this purpose instead of applying them to the public school funds, as so many seemed to dislike the plan of educating the children with liquor profits But it'i a right bad idea to look for any general good to be de rived from liquor. The subject of good roads is a grow ing issue, and the only way to have good roads is to work them on the con tract system. Let the commutation tax stand at one dollar, give us a spe cial levy of one mill, and make it com pulsory for every man liable to road duty to pay his commutation tax, and this will give us plenty of money to keep up our roads in apple pie order, without issuing bonds. I am opposed to the issuing of bonds. It's imposing a taxation upon the people of too long standing. Let us hear from some of our candidates who are seeking to be come our law-makers on this subject. Prof. D. A. Quattlebaum, who has been teaching at Delmar, Saluda County, came home about two weeks ago sick from an attack of measles which stopped his school a few weeks earlier than he intended. We are sorry to say he is still in lingering health. Mr. Jefferson Quattlebaum is also un able to work from the effects of running a thorn itt his foot. We sympathize with Mr. Quattlebaum. It is partidu lar bard on a man to be stopped out of his farm at this time of year. May 13, 1902 T. J. W. Shack Dot*. Mr. J. W. Smith spent last week in charleston seeing the Exposition. Mrs. M. L' Kelly visited relatives in Greenwood last week. Miss Lula Johnson spent several weeks with her sister, Mrs. Wofford, near Wood ruff. Mr. Elbert Hunter and Miss Hattie Eddy were at Mrs Rachel Bonds last Saturday night. The young people had quite a merry time last Saturday at the fishing party down at the bridge. Only two fish were caught, as most of the fishing was done on dry land. The Tabernacle School will close with a picnic. which will be Saturday May 24th The picnic will be held in the grove near Mr J. G. Miller's house. The pub lic is cordially invited to attend. May 14 1902. Mack. hidren's Fertilizek That's a good namefo Scott's Emulsion. Child1ren are like young plants.
