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.

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.
