The Same Old Story.

One Of the stock arguments of the
primary advocates was that direct
primary to nominate a governor WAS
necessary in orler TO get rid of the
city bOsses, to break the solid front
which they always presented in con-
ventions and generally served to turn
the tide in the direction they, or the
master mind which controlled them
wanted.
That was q strong argument, and
no doubt had much weight 10 shaping
public opinion in favor of direc
primary,
But unless all signs fail, the ap-
preaching primary viii demonstrate
the utter unsoundness aud futility o
that stock argument Of the primar!
advocates. All the city bosses, Will

evening while going toward his

staunchcst colored men of this
section, was shot from ambush

charge of Mr. Cathcart.
The hounds trailcd Jones' own
sons to his (Carolina's) house

Happenings In The State.

resp ondents Of The Columbia
State.
LYNCHING DID NOT OCCUR IN TOWN
OF LoWRYSVILLD.

Chester, May 2.-There was
great excitement here last night
about 9 o'clock when it was re-
portea that a lynching boe was
imminent at wrysville, seyen
miles north of this place. The
report was greatly exaggerated,
but to preserve Chester's reputa-
tion against all kinds of lawless
ness Solicitor Henry asked Gov.
Hayward for military assistance
for Sheriff Cornwell. After a
prompt reply from the governor
the sheriff, accompanied by the
Lee Light Infantry, 40 strong,
left on special train for Lowrys
vile. They did not find large
crowd as was expected and no
q m o n trati ion whatever was
made.
1t seems that some time in the
early morning Jim Montgomery,
a burly young neglo, went to the
house of Mrs. Nicely Smith, q
highly respected and aged widow,
presented t. pistol and declared
that if an alarm was made he
would shoot. MIS-. Smiths grand
daughter, the only other occu
pant of the house, did not hear
the threat, but ran and called
nelghbors and the intruder ran
off.
The negro was tracked and
caught about dark. He was lock-
cd up in store and surrounded
by armed men.
When the sheriff reached the
scene he met with no resistance
whatever in claiming his prisoner
and the special tram returned
here at II O'Clock The negro
was confined in Jail and will be
held for trial at the next term of
court. A. Nj A.

tain questions put to us by a-col-
orcd citizen of Brooklyn who
signs himself "The Son of a Black
Soldier" but communicates his
name and address. His numbered
questions are printed separately
below in order that the answer
may Immediately follow each of
them for the convenience of the
reader:
1. Why do you characterize
rs 'hastY' the policy which nves-
ted the emancipated males of
African descent with the full right
of sutirage?'
Because That seems to be the
right word for the sldden and
wholesale extension of the suif :
rage, less than four years after
the end of the civil war, to mil
lions Of people whose capacity for
the responsibilities of tie ballot
was untried then, exceedingly
!problematical in view of race cha
racteristics, and by generation $
experience since then ah hsolntely
demonstrated not to have existed.
&" =. Give details of The dircful
consequences of this error of ma
tional Judgment"
The story of the horrible con-
ditions in the PROSTATE States in
the early days of reconstruction
first adcquatcl y told in the case of
| South Carolina by that veteran Re-
purlican, aboiitionist and old pri-
bune writer, the Hon. james s.
Pike, of Name: the dcstinies of
men, women and children of the
superior race at the mercy of igno-
rance and irresponsibihty in these
commemorative where the black
vote was numerically predominant; /;
the evils OF lawlessncss growing
out of the inevitable efforts of the
superior race to protect itself
against negro domination mt any
hazard; the delay in tbs rerfect
reassimilation of whole section
of the restored Union of States;
the political hatreds kept alive for
years by the North's misunder-
standing of the necessity of the
South's struggle for self prescrva-
ton; the demoraliziug effect of n
condition of law, organic and sta
tutory, impossible of reconcile.
Nmcnt with actual conditions of
society. These are some of the
consequences of which the adiec.
tive dlreful is mildly descriptive.
50. Would 'the boy of Is or the
WON of 5O' ever be called upon
to bear arms IN defence of the
country as the emancipated males
of African descent have becn.'
Probably not. Fitness to fight
may exist with or without fitness
to vote. Fitness to vote may ex-
list with or without litness to tight.
Neither capability excludes or i'm
plies the other.

females and white children even
