Voting in The Primary

This matter of prescribing prop
or regulations with reference to
he right TO vote in primary clcc,
tions is of increasing importance.
and if the Democratic party of
South Carolina is more concerned
about the permanent .thon the
temporary welfare of the State, it
will give the subject molc thought
ful attention than heretofore.
The restrictions thrown around
the franchise privileges uy the
constitution of the state. although
extremely liberal, are right and
proper. We refer more particu-
larly to the requi cmcnis of two
years residence in the state, one
year in the county, and four
months In the election precinct.
A stranger coming into South
Carolina from another state,
could not reasonably expect to
familiarize himself with our pc
culiar institutions and public men
within less period than two
years, and he ought 70 have an
experience of at least yeal
with a people of the county be-
fore he should be permitted to
share the responsibility Of govern
ment.
1t is we'll understood that un
der conditions as they exist in
South Carolina, the primary cleo
tlon counts for everything, and
the general election for practical :
ly nothing. About the election
which is really important, there
are but few restrictions. The
effect of the primary, as now con

The Panama Route.

The argument in favor of this route for
the isthmian canal was succinctly stated
by Senator Cullom He said:
I'VE are called upon TO select between
a route 1888 miles long and one 40 miles
long; between a route costing $1S9,0O0 900
and one costing 1000, 900; between a
route which will annually cost SO, 800, 900 to
operate and maintain and one that will
cost but S2,OOO,0OO to operate and maintain
between a route that will take but II
hours to navigate and one that will take
3S hours between a route that has been
a highway of commerce for 400 years and
one that has never been used; between q
route the entire length of which there is
in operation railroad worth 900 and
a route with no transportation facilities.
For all these reasons the Panama route
should be selected"
