Is the Man Above the Party!
Shuffle and evade as tliej
may, the supporters of Congressman
Ellerlv have entirely failed
to justify his violation of the party
p!edg<\ which pledge he had to
sign in order to have his votes
counttxl in the primary. Now
they are trying to dodge the is>ue.
They say that Mr Ellerlte's
opponents are trying to read him
out of the party and are getting
certificates and testimonials from
Minority Leader Champ Clark and
Democratic Whip Somebody Else,
that Messrs Ellerlie and Ix-ver by
their acts and votes in Congress
did not forfeit their right to !*
ailed Democrats. What has all
that to do with the pledge they
made here in South Carolina, as
a pre-requisite t<> entering the
|<rimary, and then, after l>eing
safely elected, breaking that pledge?
What does Champ (Mark know
alxHit the rules <?f the primary
Tt w;is nnlv
Ill OUU11I VtlM'lllId . m.%
within the past few years that
this pledge was exacted of candidates
f<?r Congress and the rule?
were thus amended to forestall
just such eases as that of Ellerhe
and Lever.
Read them out of the party'?
By no means. We think such
severe punishment would l?e incommensurate
with the nature ol
the offense. But it is a far cry
from expelling a mem!>er from
an organization and putting him
at the head of it. When a trusted
employee of a corporation disobeys
an order or makes a costiy
blunder it is not g<md business
policy to discharge him un<
onditionally. Take a r a i 1 r o a <
engineer, for example, when hi:
negligence causes an aecident 01
destruction o? property, lie is no
discharged at once, as a rule
< ?n the other hand, if his dereliction
of duty went unpunished
he would U'come more defiant
and, regard loss of rules and regulations,
would proUihlv finally
involve his employer in seriou?
trouble. The poliey of the railroad
is to suspend the unfaithful
official, or to reduce him to
the ranks and let him h e g i n
over again, and this policy gives
t he corporation exceedingly efficient
-ervunts, as we all know.
Now, the Democrats of the
V
Sixth district have placed Mr
KllerU* at the head of the party
hy electing him to the highest
office within their gift. How has
he measured up to this responsi'
hility? He does not deny voting
contrary to the principles of the
party as em Untied in the national
platform, but he does not admit
: that he erred in so 'doing. If
had confessed his error and thus
purged himself, his consiituents
, might have told him to "go in
J
5 peace and sin no more." But no.
[i
) He tries to juggle with words
and thus escape the consequence
, of his disloyalty. S u p p o s e this
3 I
t goes unrebuked?what right have
i the voters to c o m p 1 a i n if he
ij should vote with the Republicans
j on every measure that conies up?
^ Here arc the questions to ask yours
self when you go to cast your
* ballot for Congressman next Tuesday:
Are you willing to give Mr
i EllerU' the power, as your repre|
tentative in Congress, to disobey
* the expressed wishes and policies
of the Democratic party as formut
lated by its leaders, the delegates
you elected to represent you in
s
the national councils?
The Democratic party whose
B
tenets Mr Ellerbe seems to hold
, so lightly, made him what he is.
^ He is but the servant of the
people?is the servant greater
' than his master?
Send Us News.
For the past few weeks we have
1 lieen issuing the biggest paper
that we have ever gotten out except
as a special issue, 'which'
means, of course, the largest
newspaper ever printed in Williamsburg
county. We regret,
however, that the proportion of
news in the forty or fifty columns
of type presented is not
? -i M i:i,A
near so large as we miuuiu imci
to have it. On account of tlie
flood of communications we have
been forced to omit all State and
general news and even local affairs
have to U* condensed to the
smallest compass. Of course we
dislike to do this, hut with fifteen
or twenty letters, some on
'special subjects and some just
* scattering," what can we do?
Some of the readers of this paper
who want mwh have complained
about this condition and
not without reason. Think of it!
i With all the type that has gone
! into the paper this week, we still
have left over a half dozen letters?enough
to fill up another
1 page or two?hut we simply could
i not put them in type. There is
a limit to our capacity and we
' have to publish these letters as
they come. We are glad to have
i our readers express their views < 11
' live topics in articles of reason
a'?le length, but we must call a
halt on the two and three column
class. Aln)ve all, don't send us
-1 newspaper clippings, or reprint,
-1 unless it is :t brief news item.
1! We get every week one "hundred
*j different papers, exchanges, and
r there is scarcely one that does
t not contain some article that we
. should 1h- glad to reproduce, hut
- we can only afford to publish 01
, or two once in a while when lot'cal
news is scarce. We are now
- 'Vhock-a-bhx'k" on essays, clip
pings, editorials and dissertations
; on divers topics, so that until we
reduce the stock on hand we can
not undertake to publish any new
i contributions except news. We
are always glad to get real, hard
news and will make place for it
even if we have to cut out the
| title head on the front page.

The question that has kept the
| politicians ??f Georgia figuring
! over-time, "Can Hoke Smith
! come hack?" was solved Tuesday
when Hoke won out over "Litj
tie Joe" Brown hy al*>ut four
| thousand majority.
In Georgia politics it is the
unexpected that happens. Two
* f l I ^ I ? _
years ago wnen josepn r. Drown,
the present incumbent, opposed
Hoke Smith for re-election as
Governor, Brown's candidacy was
regarded almost as a joke. "Little
Joe*' rode triumphantly into
the Governor's office, however,
and seemed to make a fairly
good executive. But the mercurial
temperament of the Georgia
voters demands change and excitement
and so this year they
swapped hack Governor Brown f ?r
Governor Smith,
Notwithstanding our plain announcement
last week that we
would publish no contributions of
a' political or personal nature except
at advertising rates, wvj have
received several such articles, some
"boosting," some disparaging certain
candidates, and the writers
therof say nothing whatever Aiout
paying for them. None of the
articles referred to have been publlished;
we try toj treat alljalike.
The Record exist* primarily to
print the news. When news is
exhausted, if we have energy and i
space enoughflleft, we discuss pi?lities
in our own way; hut the
paper is not intended as a forum
for argument generally as to].the '
merits and demerits of candnlates (
f.?r office. The candidates meet
the people face to face almost daily.
If they can not fully express their i
views on the issues, let them do
as have done those whose articles
are printed this week?pity
for what they want us to publish.

to expect us to I tear the expense

Knighted Actors.^
ft Is an odd fart that or r ; English
actors knighted all but one bad drat !
to legalize the uames under which they j
had won fame. The question arose i
with the flrat proposition to confer '
knighthood on a gypsy. It wonld be '
absurd so to honor one John Henry j
Brodrlbb. Tet legally no such person |
as "Henry Irving" existed. No such
obstacle had to be overcome when, on i
the occasion of Victoria's diamond J
Jubilee. Squire Bancroft knelt before
his queen and arose sir squire. H->w- !
ever, the three actors knighted by
King Edward bore cognomens of their

to be devised to bring off a flgbt. A '
favorite plan was to pitcb the ring on

might be rendered difficult Another
plan was to charter a steamboat and 1
