DISCUSSION OF LIPTON'S CHALLENGE
RIGHTs-NOTES OF INTEREST.

Some students of matters pertaining to the
Americas Cup contend that Sir Thomas Upton
would be within his rights in building two yachts
with the intention of racing the better of the two
for the trophy. Boston yachtsmen seem to think
that If Sir Thomas brought out two yachts he
would be doing the proper thing to produce the
better Of the two to for the Cup. This, was
said In the editorial columns Of this paper. is the
privilege of the defence which does not have to
name its representative until the morning of the
first race and it should be better understood out
side yachting circles that the terms of the deed
now in use chiefly intended to protect the
tenant club from surprise. and for the purpose
of creating difficulties for the challenger which
were not shared by the home club.

the intention of eQualizing the chances far
possible. that Sir Thomas was allowed partly to

Yorkville enquirer. [volume] (Yorkville, S.C.) 1855-2006, 1900-05-26

"A correspondent of the Columbia
State, writing from Charleston over
the signature of LEX" makes a
strong protest against the PROPOSE
ton to change the rules of the Demo
cratic party so as to provide for the
virtual selection of magistrates by pri-
mary elections. The correspondent
holds that in the first place the
executive committee has no right to
make such a change and in the second
place such change would be equiva-
lent to a violation of the constitution
of the state, which specifically pro-
vides that magistrates shall be ap-
pointed by the governor. According
to his view, and the view seems to be
correct one, if the hands of the gov
ernor are to be tied by primary ree'
concentrations, the constitution will
be nulli6ed. This is indeed a most
important matter. AS the correspon-
dent says, in the hands of incompe-
tent, vicious and unscrupulous men,
the Office of magistrate can be made
an engine of pretty oppression and in
justice beyond the power of any judge
in the land. That the Office of magis-
trate is often horribly abused, there is
no question. Nine intelligent citizens
out of ten can so testify from actual
knowledge; but what puzzles US is to
find the remedy. The governor can
only appoint intelligently upon the
recommendation of county delega-
ton, and if county delegations are not
advised by primaries, they will be adj
vised by petitions, which would mean
the same thing. But after all we rath-
er agree with "Lex," in doing away
with the primary idea for the selection
of such officials. Left to the voters
generally, magistrates are often selec-
ted on other considerations than quail
ifcations. Their judgment is some
times Influenced by designing individ-
uals who have more real interests than
the candidates themselves. 1t is quite
likely that if legislative delegations
are held strictly accountable for the
efficiency or inefficiency of magisterial
appointees, more care will be exercised
in the selection.
Yorkville enquirer. [volume] (Yorkville, S.C.) 1855-2006, 1900-05-26
WITHIN THE TOWN.

Yorkville means to play baseball
this summer. That fact is pretty evil
dent now. Although it has taken the
town quite while to get reused up
on the matter, Manager J. P. White is
now being backed up in way that
should make bis heart feel glad. Dur
ing the early part of the week he star.
ted out with subscription paper on
which he sought to get the names of
20 citizens who would obligate them
selves to help guarantee expenses to
the amount of SIS a month each for
three months. In short time he had
his 90 signers, and, continuing, he sue
ceeded soon after in raising the num-
Der to 40. Then he decided to keep
on adding names until he got so.
There was every reason to believe
yesterday morning that he would be
successful. 1t is not likely that the
subscribers will ever be called upon for
the amounts of their subscriptions. If
the gate receipts pay expenses, the
subscribers are not to be called upon
at all; but the arrangement assures,
among other things, that the people of
Yorkville have the right elbow touch
in regard to the matter, and that so
for as the mere question of money is
concerned, there is nothing in the way
of getting whatever, may be needed.
Manager White now has about six
baseball players who are as good as he
wants, and he says he needs about six
more. He is now in correspondence
with them. Chappelle, who did such
capital pitching last summer, has been
telegraphed for. Within the next
few weeks, and during the entire sum-
mer, the people of Yorkville may ex-
pect not only to see some interesting
ball here but they will have right to
be disappointed if the prowess of the
town is not properly upheld in sur
rounding towns.
