A Few Words Abont Primary.
tor Times anil Democrat:

Editor Times GllG Democrat:
AS the various Democratic clubs are
holding their meetings for the purpose
of re-organizing and electing delegates
to the County Convention, we beg
space in your columns for a few
thoughts concerning the method of
making nominations for County and
State officers, and a few other matters.
The call for the convention requests
the clubs to vote on the question of
primary" or convention" plan, but
fails to make any distinction us to the
two varieties OF the primary. 1t should
he borne in mind that the majority
plan requires two elections, and COM
pels a candidate to obtain more than
half of all the votes cast, ere he can be
nominated; while the plurality plan
requires that the candidate receiving
the highest number of votes shall be
declared the nominee, and only one
election is necessary. There is this
strange objection to the last mentioned
plan, that there is no safe guard against
two or three strong voting precincts
combining on "slate" just on the eve
of election, too late for any informa-
tion of it to reach remote parts OF the
county, and thus these favored localities
secure all the offices. With the majori-
ty plan TWO elections are necessary, but
it is for the safer method. When a
man has been chosen by more than half
the Democratic voters Of his county
there would be no reasonable grounds
for dissatisfaction. The primary elec-
tion need not consume whole day, as
the law governing State elections does
not reach the primary, and it is gov
erned by such rules as the Convention
or Executive Committee may see fit to
make. All the votes could be easily
taken in half day, and the voters
would be more than repaid for the eX-
ira afternoon by the general results
obtained. AS one who has seen both
majority and plurality tried earnestly
advise the majority plan. While the
primary is admirably adopted to max
ing county nominations, its extension
to State nominations is of doubtful
propriety. Candidates for State Offices
could not have time to canvass the
whole State, going into the "byways
and hedges" Of every county. They
might visit every county seat, but the
people living thirty miles in the coun-
try would hardly go to see or hear
them, hence the nominations might as
well he made by mass meetings called
at the various country towns for that
purpose, and would not give the salts
faction derived from the present
method. Let all the clubs instruct
delegates to vote for majority species
of the primary plan for county nomi-
nations, but adhere to the convention
plan for State nominations, then will
we have harmony in the party. and the
liveliest campaign that Orangeburg
has known since the days of "good
stealing in South Carolina" INDEX.

Mt. CARMEL SUNDAY SCnooL.-The
Tenth Anniversary OF this Sunday
School was celebrated in the Baptist
Church at JamisOn on last Saturday.
The Methodist Sunday School of the
place, by invitation, united in the
celebration, and several other Sunday
schools of the adjoining communities
attended, making the occasion very
interesting one. So large Il crowd as
semblcd at IN early hour that all could
not be accommodated in the church.
The beautiful little church was most
tastefully decorated, and everything
looked as charming rs a Mayday morn.
At 10 o'clock, Superintendent r. II.
Riley called the meeting to order. The
exercises were opened with fervent
prayer by Mr.. L. 3. Smith, the Superin-
tendent OF the Methodist Sunday
School. Speeches and dialogues appro-
pirate to the occasion were then render
ed by. the children Of the Baptist and
Methodist Sunday schools in most eX-
ccllent style. They showed good taste
and preparation on the part of all con-
cerned. The whole programme was
enlivened with delightful and soul-stir-
ring music under the leadership Of Mr..
Emanuel Rickenbaker After the speak
ing by the little folks, speeches were in
order from the children of older growth.
Rev. J. Z. Carlisle, Of the Methodist
Church of Orangeburg was invited,
but, to the disappointment of many,
was prevented from coming. Interest
ing addresses were, however, made by
Rev. 4. =. Norris, S. r. Mellichamp,
Esq, Mr.. John Barret and others.
which commanded the attention of
the large audience, and were well
calculated to do much good. After the
speaking, all present were invited to
the tables that were laid in the grove
and participated heartily OF the bountl-
full provision for the inner man. Dim
ner being over the remainder OF the
afternoon was happily spent in pleas
ant and friendly conversation. The
whole affair was a complete success,
and Superintendent Riley and all
others concerned have reason to rejoice
in what has been accomplished.

TRINITY SCIOOL.-The closing eXer-
cises of this excellent school, situated
about four miles northeast of Knott's
Mill, took place on last Thursday night
in the presence Of a large concourse of
people. The school is presided over by
Mr.. i. w. GetSinger, II worthy young
man from Barnwell County, who is
well known in our town as a student
of "Mellichamp's High School," where
he has been very laudably endeavorlng
to educate himself as time and means
permit. The exercises on Thursday
night were in the highest degree
creditable both to teacher and pupils.
The programme consisted Of Dialogues,
speeches and singing, and all the boys
and girls did their parts well, showing
their careful training, and many
exhibiting marked evidences Of Ora
torical power. The spacious building
was tastefully decorated with flowers,
notices and evergreens. The excellent
music of the occasion was furnished by
Mrs. G. w. Dannelly, assisted by the
children of the school. and added great
" to the success of the entertainment.
The exhibition was kept up to late
hour when everybody went home well
pleased with what was seen and heard.
The next morning came the picnic OF
the school, and, at an early hour, an
even larger crowd assembled than on
the evening before. At 10 o'clock the
building was filled to overtloWing by
persons anXiously waiting to hear the
Speakers who were chosen to address
Al - DIV. Mr. Gronr of thn
Methodist Church, who was invited,
was unfortunately prevented from
coming, but able and eloquent addresses
were made on education by Rev. j. j.
Getsinger and our School Commits
sioner who were listened to with mark
ed interest and enthusiasm. 1t is said
that there is Il manifest awakening Of
the people of the community on this
important subject. y number of prizes
for elocution, penmanship and class
standing were next awarded to the
successful competitors by Mai. Geo.
w. Dannelly in Il neat and appropriate
address. AS an evidence of the appre-
citation Of the audience, bouquet was
then presented to Mrs. G. W. Dannelly
for her valuable contribution Of music,
and was most gracefully received'by
this lady. \ sumptuous dinner was
next served in good old Bull Swamp
style, and it is unnecessary TO say that
everybody was well pleased with this
part of the programme. Mr.. Getsinger
deserves great credit for what he has
accomplished in this community. lie
took the school when it was exceed
ingly small, and he has already built it
up to over fifty pupils, some coming
from Il distance and boarding i'll the
community. lie has now taught for
two sessions, and has given entire
satisfaction, the patrons being anxious
to keep him as long as they can.
Mrssrs. y. J. IIydrick and y. y. Whct-
stone are the energetic and efficient
Trustees of this school, and we hope they
may succeed in keeping the torch OF
education always burning in their
neighborhood.
