... 11. .A IL. Eurrou. NO MORE PLLCUE8 NEEDED. One of the most, important questions before theStateConvention,which meets inOolumbia ou Wednesday,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 fleient. Any white man professing to be a Democrat could participate in the primary, and the sole object 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 Democretic 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 mai professes to be a Democrat and pledges himself to abide t,he 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 eontinuance of a white mnan's gvern 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 Rxposition 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 visitors to the great s.how, and they have all enjoyed it very much. The rates have been so low, and living in Charleston so cheap, that there is scarcely any 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 6o. This rate has been on for several weeks and will continue for the balance of the month, tickets on sale on Tuesdays and Thursdays. l-vcrv South Carolinian who has not been to this exp)sitiont should make haste to go at once. Only two more weeks remain. We are pleased to know that so innmy of our own Newberry people have taken advantage of this op portunity, but if there are any left they should go at once. 1'he Southern Rail way has been giving us a special New. berry 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 we ek, 22d, known as Wagener Day, so designated in honor of Capt F. WV. WVagener, who is president of the exposition compjany, aii( who has been pocketing niost <f the loss. This should be the banner day of the exposition, and we hope there will b)e large crowds in at tend(ance from all parts of the State. Souvenir tickets have been p)lacedl On sale in advance, and no doubt thme at tendance will be inmmense. It should be so. -rime railroads have done thmeir part to make the e:sposition by the low rates they have given, without which the attendance would have been very small. No expositions have ever been finani clal successes i,: the sense of making money for the p)roimoters or yimlding div idlend(s on the capital inivestedl. lIut this exposition is boun,d to do good for Char leston, the whole State anid thme ent ire South. Its benefits will be lasting, anmd all thme p)eopile will share in the harvest. There should b)e rejoiciing that it has been as successful financially as it has beeni. Tlh e argument for andi ag ai nst, tihe county-to-county State c1unp~aign still goes on. it, is not. IIlkely that thne op position to the system wuill amnount, to anything, but that tihe State Q'on ven lin,next week will conitinue the same old plan. However, as we have said1 all along, we can not see the use in holding a catmpaign meeting in each count.y of the St,at,e. In fact,, we can see no use in candidates for secretary of State, at, torney general, comp)troller general, treasurer, andI such like ollices, goIng into the campaign at all. Their dutmlies are purely mInisterial, and It, matters not to the people what may be themir views on any issue, so that they are boniorable white men and capable of discharging the d ties of thtei r otlice The best plan, it senms to uts, and the one which we have before suggested, is toi hold one campaiv,n meeting at, some cent.ral point int each congres-oonal 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 b)een in force only a very few minutes are allowed to "ach speaker and that short titne is usually taken up in showing what, he conisiders the demerits of his opponents. Much of this personal abunse would be done away wit,h by cutt,ing down t,he num. ber of meetings and giving to each speaker more time. But if we are to have a campaign meeting inm each county, then the plan of two campaign part,ies, suggested by Senator Tillman at, IMannng, Is the best soluticn. R is tru, tnnt, "the limitation on the time of the candi dates for the imp)ortant offces, if it be continued, will absolutely destroy all interet~ 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, start.ing 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 public questions and the peo ple a right to say by a majority vote whom they want for the various oflices 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 holdi, : up since the adjournment. One wtas 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 again-,t the act was that it was unconstitu tional. The act was submitted to the attorney general and ho gave an opin ion which might be construed on tho side of the constit uttonality of the act and which might be construed as an efTort to evade the issue. The other two were an act to ali t ish the oflice of pho+phate inspector and to devolve the duties of that oflico on the county auditors and a joint resolution to write otT the books of the treasurer the Blue Ridge bonds owned by thee old State bank. Both of the:e the governor will vato 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, anl( can be easily enforced. The citizen who expectorates will soon form the habit of missing the sidewalk, but we he lieve to have made the fine frot 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.

It's the economical kitchen grocer-y store, That's led by Lee Singly whose motto is to sell more I have often heard that'it's a right good plan to measure a man by his own yard stick, and so it is. Mr. William Johnson has out a yard stiok represent lug bia general line of hardware, and this yard stick measures fully 86 inches. While Mr Johnson don't measure out his plows, hoes and all other farming 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. U. I F'ungle's last Sat urday night. Mr Feagie'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 recommended that we take the dis pensary protlts for thiN 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 Hut, it's a rilht had idea to look for any general good to be de rived fromu liquor. The subjooct of good roads is a grow tug 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 comu. pulsory for every man liable to road duty to pay his commutation tax, and this will give us plenty of money te 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.
