E. H. AtULL. E!Tot. The State convention meets tomor row and the politicians and candidates will hie themselves to the capital There is not much for the convention to do. A platform will be adopted and we suppose Senator Tillman will en deavor to get his views endorsed as to the modification of the oath to be taken. It is true that no one but a Democrat should vote in a Democratic primary and certainly no one but a Democrat should ask the suffrages of Democrats, but we are not in favor of making the requirements too strict or straight laced., The purpose of the primary sye tem, it seems to us, will be subserve< by letting the pledge stand very muct as it is, to abide the . eeult and suppori the nominees. Take our own State We remember that one of the leading planks in the platform has been an en dorsement of the dispensary system ani yet many Democrats have not only no endorsed it but have c6ntinued to figh it. Some of these same people are nov demanding that the pledge be amendet so as to include an endorsement of thi platform without knowing what thi platform is to be. Suppose the dispen sary is endorsed in the platform, wha will they do? A few years ago th, leaders in our State condemned th, national platform of the party and wen so far as to pass resolutions in a Stat Democratic convention' condemning Democratic president. It is Dot oui purpose to discuss this phase o tbe question.' We want to say tha while we discuss this matter w, should not forget the past and that a we view our primary, it is more to ge the choice of the white men of the Stat )tthe-election of officers than to bin' a the voters to the planks of a plat -form, aod in our judgment the bes results will be obtained by lettzag thi voters have some latitude in voting That they are qualified electors ani entitled to vote and will abide the re sult and support the nominees of th, party is sufficient pledge. Some o those who are clamoring for an addi tional pledge did not even keep th, pledge we now have in days gone by. Speaking of the pledge in the pri mary the Charleston Post asks: ~hall the convention confine its de el rations to national issues and maki no enunciation upon matters of loca State concern? if not will the dispen~ sary principle be reaffrmed as it ha been by so many conventions? An' finally if it is will no candidate be per -mitted to enser the race unless he sul scribes to this principle? That woun< make a rather awkward state of affair for The State and The Evening Pos and o.thers who are opposed to the die pensary system, and yet It is quite th logical outcome of the course urged b; The State. That is the point upon which w would like to have light. If you ar going to require voters and candidate to pledge unwavering support of plal forms, just as well require them ti -support the dispensary system, put in the platform, as tariff, anti imperialism, or free silver, 16 to] -and would the editor of The State sup port the dispensary system if it shoult 2e put in the Democratic platform *We should be lair and impartial in ou egorts to bind others. Since writing the above we hayi seen the reply of the State, in whici that newspaper holds that the mainte nance of the dispensa ' int~ is "'policy," wiie.A1'perialism, trust andlErif,;" are "principles." It aj pears tous as ifthe editor of the State has made a distinction without a differ ence. However, we suppose he want to play the role of dictator, as usua: and pledge candidates and voters ti support those planks in the platfora which are in accordance with hi views, styling these "principles," an< those with which he does not agree wby, simply pass these over with si lent contempt, so far as the pledge i concerned, calling them "policies." There is no one thing so importan to our county and State as the questioi of road improvement. Under our pres ent system we can never have more than makeshifts in the way of publit roads. We would be glad to see the city of Newberry take the four leading roads from the court house and buik4 them out from that point about tw< miles in each direction as they shouli be as object lessons, and it would no1 be long before the pple of the count3 would demand that these be extende< throughout the county. The only wa: to do it is by the contract system. The county of Mecklenberg in North Caro lina levies a road tax of 18 cents on the $100 and in addition to this each town ship levies a road tax of 7 cents on the $100, and some of the townships levya special road tax of 15 cents on the $100 It is the best investment these town ships can make. If we are to have good roads we must expect to pay foi them, but it is money economically and wisely spent. Mecklenberg county has about 100 miles of- macadamized roads and some of these roads cost as mnnch as from $2,700 to $4,000 They are now building the same roads at a cost of $1,600 to $2,500 per mile, and the more they build, the greater the demand' is. We should start in this county at once. The commencement season and the commencement orator are near at hand. We always enjoy these occasions. We like to see the bouyant hopefulness of the young man graduate and the happy smile of the girl graduate. Our best wishes always g-o with them. The crop prospects in this Sta were never brighter at this season th they are now. The cotton and the co are looking well. The stands are go and the plants look healthy and vig ous. The farmers certainly need good yield and a fair price. We glad the prospect at present is so couraging. WAS ON ,E AT zT. PIERRE. Mr. E. L Polgreen Who Left Here a Y4 Ago Visited the Ill-Fated Island The following is taken from the St of the i6th instant. Mr. Polgreen will remembered here by many of our peol he having been in business in this c for several years: "A citizen of Columbia was last I year in St. Pierre, the ill-fated town the island of Martinique which has lately occupied the eyes of the wc on account of the recent disaster wb has occured there. The eruption of : Pelee aad the consequent destruct not only of the town, but of the ship the harbor has a peculiar interest to I t because he last year took passage on 7 "Roraima" of the Quebec line, the sb I which suffered so greatly from the fall lava and hail of fire.
