Y. ANDERSON, Secretary.
SHALL 1T BE PRIMARY Or CONVENTION Z
For the Yorkvllle Enquirer.

Mr.. Editor: The popular will is the basis
of our political structure. If this be so, let
US face and admit, in its full force, this truth.
The Primary plan for elections does admit it,
and brings the people to the front to vote for
themselves, instead of selecting men to do
their voting for them.
By the Convention plan the selected men
would have the cards in their own hands and
can so play them as easily to aid and reach,
their own individual ends Schemers can
then combine or CRAFTY their own prejudices
or preferences.
The people of South Carolina see this, and
hence in the counties thus far heard from,
Union, Spartanburg, Anderson, Laurens,
Richland and others, the Primary system has
been adopted.
York has never been wanting in that valu.
able thing-hard common sense-she will
vote accordingly.
Our people, we think, prefer the Primary
plan-that each man should vote in person,
instead of by an agent. The people are dis
satisfied with and will not abide by the nomi-
nations of another Convention. Hence indie
pendentism. The Primary plan mirrors the
popular choice. The Convention plan can
and may defeat it. A VOTER.

LETTER rom ROCK HILL.

Rock HILL, July 26-The much needed
and long wished for rain came in copious
shower last Thursday night. This immediate
section had suffered for want of rain for
several weeks, while the adjoining sections
had not suffered at all. Vegetation had
begun to turn yellow and scar, cotton had
begun to shed its grown and halfformad
bolls, and corn to fold its wilted blade. Ell
nature seemed to pine beneath the scorching
rays of the summer sun, presenting gloomy
prospect, thus making the rain to US bles'
sing in due season.
Our town continues to improve. The cease.
less ring Of the trowel and the sound of the
hammer have made a decided change in the
appearance of things, by adding two new
store houses to Main street, which present
most imposing and city. like appearance. The
three.story building of DR.. i. G. Robertson
presents striEingly characteristic feature of
the progress of our town. The third story
is designed for Masonic temple, the front
of which will be beautifully adorned with
Masonic emblems. In addition to these i'm.
provements, the cotton factory is fast assum-
ing large and lofty proportions. Situated
on London avenue, a few steps from the
railroad, every convenience and advantage
have been consulted in its location and sub.
stantial erection. As its walls rise above the
surrounding tree tops, they stand monument
to our industry and command that admira-
tion and worthy commendation due to an
active, energetic and enterprising community.
Already we hear the shrill whistle and busy
hum of the grist mill, situated but q short
Aof,noo from, tho footoru huildsp0
The question of Primary or Convention is
the subject now agitating the minds of our
people. Primary, however, seems to be in the
sscendency, as we hear but little said by the
advocates of the Convention.
As the northern bound train was coming
into town last Friday afternoon, it ran over
and killed George Starr, colored boy about
II years of age. 1t seems that he had come
to town in the morning with his aunt. After
she had made some purchases she gave him
the bundles and told him to walk on as she
intended to stop with her sister a few minutes.
The boy walked down the railroad short
distance below the house at which his aunt
stopped. He rat down on the railroad track
to wait for her, and while there fell asleep.
While thus asleep the train came on, and
as he was in curve, and could not be seen
by the engineer in time to avert the accident,
he was run over and killed. Trial Justice
Fewell acting as coroaer, held an inquest,
and the verdict of the jury was in accordance
with the above facts.
The active duties of the census office here
are fast drawing to a close, and we who have
had an opportunity of knowing its various
duties are glad to say that the returns of the
enumerators Of York county were among the
best. The returns of Cherokee township we're
so perfect as not to require single correction.

FORT MILL, July 26-At meeting of the

Our people took considerable interest in the
organization of the Club, and there were two
candidates for the Presidency, one of whom
represented the Convention idea, and the 9TH

mary. The Primary plan will carry, think,
by a large majority. 1t is, without doubt,
the only fair way Of ascertaining the wish of
the people. PRIMARY.
