ONCE in Augusta Is fast becoming ono to
which none but a rich man need aspire
For many years Augusta elections have
been notorious for the open pur-
chase OF negro votes and there
was such an outcry after the
Walsh Kerr Dunbar race that the
white primary system was adopted TO
eliminate the purchassble vote. The only
effect seems TO have been TO raise the
price paid Under the negro regime. votes
could be bought for liquor and cigars and
perhaps a barbecue In the bull pen over
night. and when the contest was hot.

secret Ballot Did Not work.
After Il was found that the white pTi-
mary did not eliminate buying votes. IL
was thought a secret ballot would stop
90. because a candidate would not pay for
votes that he could not be sure would be
delivered. Much OF the Hayne expecta-
tions were based upon this theory. he be-
ing assured by the purchasable element
that they would take Phinizy's money.
and when they got IN the secret booth
would vote for Hayne; but either the se-
cret ballos was a hasco. or some means
were adopted 20 insure the delivery OF the
goods, for Mr.. Phinizy certainly got the
votes. IL is serious reproach on this
community that elections 90 Office must
be bought. but Il seems 10 be the cstab-
ished rule. and elections are steadily ne-
coming more expensive. Men get INTO
them and they do not want TO be beaten
aud they spend much more than they
would be willing to give for the office as
a straightout purchase.
Some time IN tho future there Will he
genuine uprising against the present
system and some remedy will be discov-
cred. but tho ward workers are against
any change and rejoice ut the carnival
before them when such candidates are in
the field.
II n probable that n the race had been
run Ia Augusta to-day without a dollar
spent on either side. the vote would have
been lighter. but the result would have
been the same. The people wanted Mr..
Phinizy for Mayor next time and with
or without money. he would have carried
the day provided none was spent on the
other side.
