Alliance Warehouse.

In varioas places Alliance warehouses are
projected, in which to store cotton.
The Press and Banner has no advise to give
anybody on this subject, and we do not pre-
tend to know more of the practical results Of
such an enterprise than others, but being an
outsider we have right to talk Of the move,
1t being spoken of in the newspapers.
The building Of q warehouse will cost
money.
Tho storing OF cotton involves insurance
on cotton or greatly increased risk from
fire.
There is no need for q warehouse.
II a man wants TO keep his cotton and draw
money on 1t, he can have have it stored by
others cheaper than he can build n ware
house.
In q little while 1t will be found that there
Is no use for it and the warehouse Will be
either forfeited to the lot owner, or sold to
pay the remaining debt on it. The house
thus built by shares will furnish good bar.
gain for somebody, and the stockholders will
be out of pocket more dollars than they ex-
pected.
The best way to get the most money out OF
the cotton crop is to get 1t to market at the
earliest moment possible. If, after pressing
needs are satisfied. any cotton is left, let the
farmer pile 1t up under his barn, or cover ii
with boards, ana then, let the warehouse alone.

It is true that several Jur!es have heretofore

Newspaper Enterprise.

Attwo o'clock on Saturday morning, the
Ne,cberry Herald dnd Ne,vs printed full tabu-
lated statement of the election. which took
place in that county on Friday last That was
enterprise.
Contrast that with Abbeville. At Abbeville
we received by telegraph partial returns FRI
day night from few beXes.
The telegraph eftice was closed little be-
tore twelve o'clock.
\ number of interested persons waited
Mr. Bennet's office for Mr.. F. B. Gary and
Mr. IIayne McDill to come from Donalds ana
Due West They came about one O'Clock
with reports from these boxes.
That was the extent Of our Information
Friday night.
Returns began to come in early Saturday
morning, and by midday, all were IN. IL
took from then till about three o'clock TO
make the official reports and the tabulated
statements, and to declare the election.
To compare Abbeville and Newberry prin.
ters on this occasion, 1T would seem that the
Newberry printers are long way ahead.
We do not know how 1t was in Ncwberry,
but in Abbeville no candidate had made ar
raneements for complete return from any
box. There are twenty-eight boxes, and
some of them are twenty or more miles dis
tant AS business enterprise it would not
pay this printer to 60 to the expense of get
ting all these reports to print an extra, when
we could otherwise get them in time for the
regular issue of the paper.
But as a matter of new spaper enterprise,
the Herald and NeWs is ahead OF anything
vet reported to this Office.

In holding the primary election last Friday,
we learn that the managers in many IN
stances totally disregarded the Act or The Leg
islature, providing for the conduct OF primary
elections.
We presume, as q matter Of course, that
each OF the managers took the required oath
"that he will fairly, impartially and honestly
"conduct the same according to the provis-
lions of this Act, and the rules Of the party
but as q matter OF fact they have failed In
some instances TO file that oath with the
Clerk Of the Court.
And we are under the impression That the
managers at various boxes entirely disregard
ed that part Of the Act which required them
"before receiving any ballot to administer to
'.the voter an oath that he is duly qualified to
"vote according to the rules of the party, and
"has not voted before in such election"
The oath of the managers is to be filed with
the Clerk in tiue daus and the poll list "within
..Jour days after the final declaration Of the re-
"sult thereof
If the managers OF the election at any box
disregarded the plain provision Of the law
the ballots of such boxes might have been
thrown out of the count If any one interested
had protested.
Suppose for instance, any Congressional
candidate had objected to the receiving OF the
votes from boxes where the voters had not
been sworn. the County Club would rave been
compelled to throw them out. If they had
been thrown out quite different state OF at-
fairs would have existed oday-another
than Mr.. Johnstone would now be in the field
against Mr.. Norris.
II any candidate feels aggrleved at the
wrong which has been perpetrated against
him, ne has power now to call the attention
of derelict managers to Section OF the Act
which provides that 'any manager who snail
.be guilty Of wilfuly violating any OF the du-
"ties devolving upon such position hereunder
"shall be guilty of a misdemeanor, and upon
"conviction thereof shall be punished by fine
"not to exceed one hundred dollars. or imprls-
comment not to exceed six months
No protest having been made before the
election was declared we presume 1t Is no"
too late TO make protest.
We call attention again to the election la"
which has been published twice in the Press
and Banner. II managers of the election
shall still persist In violating the law, the bal
lots which they assume to receive unlawfully
should be thrown out, when the count or tab
ulation is made next day by the County Club.
Unless men vote according to law, they do
not vote at all, and It is the right, as well as
the duty, of the candidate against whom these
illegal votes are cast. 10 have them thrown
out
Let our elections be conducted according to
the forms Of law.

Election Tickets.

The Press and Banner printed l0S.O00 tickets
for, the election last Friday. Without refec-
tion, 1t would seem that there was an excess
Of tickets and waste of money In printing
so many, but upon reflection,-and remem-
bering the old way, when the voter went to
the polls for his ticket-we believe the invest
ment was good one. In the olden times q
few active workers with tickets and pen at
each of the polls could easy enough control
elections in majority Of Instances, but at
the recent elections when everybody had
tickets IN his pocket, each voter more gener-
ally voted his own ticket than when there
was a scarcity OF tickets and when the voter
was necessarily subjected to greater intlu-
epces. The tickets were 2A inches by 8 Inches
and contained the name Of single candidate,
with blanks for each of the other candidate,
including congressional. The cost was only
seventy-flve cents per thousand, being about
double the size OF general election tickets,
and costing no more than the Executive
Committe has been paying for them.
II there is no reason why an outsider should
not get the job, the Press and Banner would
like to print the General Election tickets at
fifty cents per thousand.
