A WORD OF CAUTION.

a WORD OF CAUTION.
It is a known rule of this news
paper to let every candidate for
a county Office take care of HIM
self, but when it comes to can
didates for the Legislature, Con-
gress or State Offices, we are un-
der no promise to be neutral.
We therefore desire to direct
attention to one matter which
we regard of vital Importance to
every voter in Clarendon county.
In the selection Of representa-
tives, the fact should not be lost
sight of, that there is no Sena-
tor to be voted for at this elec-
ton, that officer holds over for
two years more, and the voters
should be careful in their selec-
ton Of members of the Lower
House, lest they send to Colum-
bia, Representatives who will not
work in harmony. To make il
plain: Suppose at this election
the people should elect one rep
jresentative who will work at
cross purposes with the Senator,
the work of the delegation would
be blocked, and as far as the
county is concerned, it would be
better off without any represen,
tation at all. We hope the peo.
| pie in selecting their representa-.
tives will think of this seriously.
1t will be throwing away time tc
send to Columbia to make youl
laws, men who are at variance
with each other. If a measure
for the benefit of Clarendon'S
taxpayers starts in the lower
House, and the Senator does not
wish it to pass, all that he has
to do, is to shelve it, or kill il
outright, for when matter af
fecting a county is opposed by
the Senator of that county, the
measure will not be pressed by
the other Senator'S. If meas
ure starts in the Senate, and gets
over to the House, any onemem
Der of the delegation can ask
that the measure be "passec
over" in order that he might look
into it, and if the other members
of the delegation insist on its
being acted upon, all the OBJ
structing member has to do, is,
to claim that it is purely ''lo
cal measure" and he has not sat
listed himself that it is a proper
measure; the result is, the meas.
ure is pigeon-holed.
Our readers will therefore un.
derstand the Importance of elect.
ing men who will work in har.
mony; a delegation in the
legislature that does not work
together cannot accomplish any
thing for their people. The
Senator of this county, has start
ed on a policy to reduce taxation,
and at the last session there was
a reduction of one mill, now his
object is not yet fully accom-
plished: because, it is his pur'
pose to reduce the tax levy two
mills more by the time his term
of Office expires; to accomplish
this result his colleagues must
be men who will help him, and
jif the voters will select such:
they will reap the benefit Of q
reduction of their taxes.
After the present Senator's
tvtin has expired the people car
then afford to make a bran new
deal if they see fit, but as long
as conditions are as now, they
would simply be committing
stupid folly, to send any man to
Columbia who is not friendly
with, and is out of sympathy
with the Senator. This is not
intended as dictation, but an ap-
peal to common, practical, bus
mess sense.

This committee is composed of

have, some votes would have
oeen lost to them personally;
such weakened candidates
Will not even get the vote of the

how and they should not, because
man who has not the moral

meetings provided by the commit
tee, and they are also holding
independent meetings. We un-
derstand that it is the purpose Of
the Prohibition party, to get up
picnics and at these picnics the
people are to furnish the ex-
.pense of the eataoles, while i'm
ported speakers are to furnish
the chin music.
There is nothing in the con-
stitution Of the party prohibiting
these independent meetings, but
the fact Of meetings being ar
ranged by the county and State
executive committees, carries
with it the presumption, that any
other political meetings are ir-
regular, and calculated to create
confusion. The disregard for
the party constitution in one
particular brings about a disre-
gard in other particulars, until
eventually the constitution will
not be worth the paper it is writ
ten upon and, our primary sys-
tenn will become a farce. Why
have primary within the party,
and permit nominating conven-
tons too? Why have a sched-
ule of meetings and permit inde-
pendent meetings?
The importation of speakers is
a new feature to be considered
by our people-they are not ac-
customed to such, and it smacks
considerably Of the missionary
idea. In our opinion, the free
and intelligent white men will
not take kindly to the idea of
having a strangers coming
among them to teach them how
they shall vote upon political
issues, that was all right in rad
ical days, when we were after the

The two Republican judges who re

Considerable Importance is attached
to the distance measuring held glass
invented by Mr.. Zeiss of Jena Il Is
simply an extension of the natural
power of the eyes TO estimate the dis
tance Of nearby objects This power
depends upon the fact that the space
between the eyes serves like a base
line in surveying, the lines of sight
conyerging upon selected object from
the ends of the base In the telemeter
the effective distance between the eyes
is increased by means OF prisms, and
double images of the objects looked at
are formed. The distance between the
images varies with the remoteness Of
the objects. and a scale shows what
the real distance is. Up to about two
miles the results are said to be fairly
accurate.
