New York, March 2.-The Times will
say today:
Senator B. r. Tillman of South Caro-
lima, was caller on Senator Platt at
the Fifth Avenue hotel yesterday (Sat-
urdsy).
The talk lasted over half an hour.
One of the principal topics of converse
tion was the proposed visit of Presi-
dent Roosevelt to the Charleston expo
sition.
Senator Tillman is said to have been
very explicit in his assertion that it
would not be polite for President
Rooseveltto make visit to South Caro-
lima owing to the State of public feeling
there over the McLaurin-Tillman Incl
dent and the withdrawal of President
Rooseve1t's invitation to the senator to
meet Prince Henry at dinner at the
White House which was followed by
the telegram from Lieut.. Gov. Tillman
of South Carolina cancelling the invi-
tation to the President to present a
sword to Major Micah J. Jenkins.
Senator Plstt when asked about the
conversation said:
'I have had a talk with Senator Till
man. The facts which have been
brought to my attention will be laid be-
fore Roosevelt. Ishall advise the Pres
ident not to 60 to Charleston"
Senator Platt declined to discuss the
matter further.

The telegram from New York from

have created a considerable stir at the

Mr.. E. II. Mccormick, Editor Town TAX:
Dear Sir--I note from the columns of your
paper that Judge Blackman has offered HE q
proposition. The first time the matter was
br0ached was in the Courthouse during the
session OF the Executive Committee, in q casual
conversations; the second time the matter was
approached was on Thursday night ut Bunkle
on his return from Marksyille.
Judge Blackman has been aware that was
a candidate since last winter, having announc-
ed my intentions at that time and formally an
nounced my candidacy, during the session OF
the LEGISLATURE. Had he intended to become q
candidate at that time he should have signified
his desire to settle the matter before the cam
paign had taken q definite shape. AS 1t Is, l

We Will Have Primaries.

The Seventh Congressional Dis
trict Democratic Committee met
at the Court House last Tuesday,
organized and entered at once
into the business before them.
The first resolution offered was
to order a primary election to
choose a candidate for Congress
man, hlch was UNANIMOUSLY
adopted-the convention method
not even being discussed. The
full proceedings of the committee
will be found in another column.
It transpired before the meeting
that two or three members of the
committee desired D convention,
but being in hopeless minority,
the question was not brought up
in meeting. We regret that st.
Landry was on the wrong side in
the matter, and it is probable that
st. Landry's candidate will feel
the effects of its opposition to
primaries. All the candidates for
Congress were present except
Capt. Norris, of Calcasieu. The
meeting was entirely harmonious
throughout, and every candidates
interest seemed to be considered
in the action taken. The field is
now open for u free fight and
fair count, and may the best man
win. The COURIER is particularly
gratified at the success of the pri-
mary plan, and congratulates the
committee on having performed
its duty to the best interests of
the party and the people it repre-
sents.

The objection to primaries IS
urged that they are too expensive
that none but the rich could
afford to run for office under that
system. All right! Give US pri-
maries anyhow, and we will elect

make the cost Of primaries pro-
lhibitive. That seems to have been
the principal object Of the present
