KINGSTREE?THE GATEWAY TO OPPORTUNITY. THURSDAY. SEP. 12.1912. Our Andrews correspondent, Mr \V S Camlin, in giving his views, in another column,on the result of the recent primary election, is somewhat inconsistent in hi> theory. He start> off, like the idol he worship.-, with the fiery epithet, "to h? with any more primary elections" and the proviso "if our pri\ maries are to Ik* trampled under >? Mr I'amlin has done a gotnl deal of talking and a deal of running oi late, along political lines, and we have paid little or no attention to him,a- we Mieve most everyone else lias, hut we have always heard that if you give a calf enough rope it will hang itself, so in sympathy we feel it our duty to take hold of the rope and prevent the poor thing's untimely and eternal entanglemenl if we can. Mr Cumlin must Mieve, as well as every other man of ordinary intelligence, that fraud and trickery was practiced in the primary election on August 27. We Mieve it, but we do not think such was the case in Williamsburg county, nor de we think that all the fraud and trickery in Anderson and several other counties was penetrated by Blease supporters alone. The nrininrv h:i> lit-cn hadlv cor r4""wv i v ?? * rupted, and tin* honest, law-abiding citizens of South Carolina demand an investigation fixing the responsibility for it, if such can lie determined, and in order to determine the nature and extent of the fraudulent practices it it is necessary that the investigation he far-reaching and thorough, taking in every county and every box, as Judge Jones demands. If we are to have the primary system, let's have it conducted honestly and according to law, and in such a manner as was intended by "those good old men who made this primary system and worked hard to give the State white supremacy." Would these good old Ulell condone, as Mr Camlin does, such flagrant and barefaced'irregularities and frauds as have already been brought to light in this primary? I)oes Mr Canilin think "those good old men" would look with favor upon say 10, 20, 40 or 50 more ballots in a box than there were names _ j on the club roll of the precinct, or pi would they wiiik at a man ?>r a set of men having tlioir name- on two or three poll lists? Yet he believes this ha- l?oon done, and MrCanilin 1 would not raise a murmur against t the practice, hut 011 tlie other hand because his idol ha- a majority of ' ballots lie attempt- to defend cor- lin nipt ion in the primary system. m? r % 1Q' The object of the primary is to ' .give the qualified white people a j . gu voice in the selection of candidates m( for State and county oflices, one rrn ballot to represent each voter's pe ..1...J.... hut ii'l kf.ii tl n.r.. Ifivi. I u'l'tl Ipo twentv or tliirtv thousand more i ' ye; ballot- than voters it i- evident that A_ 05 ithe ??ld Cincinnati tactics of Mc- ye. Lean, and lat?r of Cox, have been spl resurreyted in South Carolina and wl" the honest voters deprived of a true ov expression of their will and senti^ inent in their selection of such candidates. Such fraudulent practices p0 i must stop. If the investigation in- en creases BleaseV niajoritv, let it do '* a I st>. No matter what the ineonven! t # . 0f ience mav be in certain counties as ' i * tol to local matters, the whole matter ( should l?e investigated thoroughly jn and rottenness, where it exists, ex- to j posed and punished, Mr Camlin's cr' j protest to the contrary notwith- ^ standing. ^ I t4 .on "Why can't our white people rise up in power and name the elect- ecj ed (iovernor, who is Cole L tic Blease," says Mr Catnlin. We til 1 HMItlll <11(711..<t t.1 llllll tll'lt tllH cr\ majority of the people of South j Carolina are honest and want to ? Ma see, ahove all, fair play and hon- Cc est, clean elections, and, in this Di i i i v .

SALES FOR AUGUST.:! !OOUCTION SO FAR INDICATES HAT THIS YEAR'S CROP MAY EXCEED THAT OF 1909. H The tobacco crop in South Caro- ^ a since the season opened has ide a remarkable showing. In ? 11, 6,099,232 pounds were sold e ring the months of July and Au- Cl st; this year during the same >nths 21.273,215 pounds were irketed, an increase over the same tl riod of last year of 15,173,983 b unds During July and August of last ar the tobacco sold brought $722, 2.76; during the same months t his ar the tobacco sold brought the d lendid total of $2,288,600.20, lich is an increase of $1,566,547.44 a er last year. 0 The largest tobacco crop that the Jj ate ever had was in 1909, when h e total production was 25,583,049 a unds. That total represented the tire season; this year the months r September and October have still t report their sales and there is ev- F y indication now that this year's 8 bacco crop will far exceed the larg- ^ t crop that has ever be^n grown the State, and will certainly bring the farmers more money than any a op ever before marketed. The to- u 1 crop of 1910 only brought $1,- * 4,500, and the total crop of 1911 ly brought $1,388,016. The sales f r the two months already report- J of this year have brought prac:ally $1,000,000 more than the en e crop of either 1910 or 1911.

It was in this 1 mnection that he made the state- ' ent in the opening that Charleston 1 ill have what she wants. He said t iat he desired peace and prosperity ^ r all the State and especially in t e metropolis and he will work to- ( ards this end.
