The Depot Must be Moved.

The people Of Laureps must not alow
their zeal and activities to abate until
the passenger station nuisance is RENE
died. Neither the people nor the rail
roads can afford to permit this continu-
ing danger to life ard property to re
main. Very probably the railroads
cannot see that ie is 10 th,ir interest
that this certain cause OF accidents
sooner or later should be removed but
1t is. Should one or more persons he
killed at this Main Street crossing, it
would be next to impossible to con
vince any jury of L.urens people that
the railroad company was not response
bic. In any case for damages that may
arise in future at this crossing, a strong
prima facie case of gross negligence is
already made IL against the rail-
road. 1t is necessarily a blild and
foolish policy for the railroads to
allow this condition to confront them.
Fl ADVERTISER IS informed that
the rsi'ro'd authorities claim that il
they must build u passenger station on
~ N'N H1oNlSi VII SliS STU
for example of the old brick Depot,
they will be compelled to have a cross
ing over Main Strset,-in osher words,
that it will be necessary for Main street
o pass under q tres lie work at tho
Main street crossing as in the case OF
the crossing of the G. N. 4 L.. on East
Main street. We do not understand
how they arrive at this conclusion bat
it appears that if such an arrangement
be required with the passenger depot
on tie side OF the tracks next the
square, it would be all the more re-
CURED under the present arrangement
when all the vehicles meeting passen-
ger trains must cross a net work of sur
face tracks.
But the rain point is that the pres.
ent arrangement is a danger and Il nui-
sance and the people of Laureua W
it to themselves never to ''let up" until
tho situation is reformed.

More Voting Places Needed.

Until this year Charleston Democrats
have hadstwo precincts in each ward,
but fer some strange reason the county
executive committee lately abolished
9p3-half of these voting places. In
3ntIy the cry wa raised that the num-
OF voters was so large in many
ards that the ten hour5 during which
be polls are open would not allow suf-
ent time for the voters to deposit
ir ballots. lie was limited that the
ard-heelers" would crowd around
polls and kill time by challenging
other dilatory methods so that
pbers of busy men would tire of
ing and leave in disgust.
te suggestion was that it was the
eme of the professional politicians to
officially ~disfranchise numbers of
who have not more than ten or
en- minutes to devote to exercising
r suffrage as Democrats. The pres
sure was 50 great that the committee
rescinded it's action as to the four most
populous wards with the result that the
cause OF fair pay and honest politics is
enhanced in Charleston. Inasmuch as
State officers and congressman are
chosen In the primaries the whole State
has an interest in the political methods
OF Charleston and has the right to re-
monstra'e against whatever appears to
ave OF underhand proceeding.
" 1t seems to THE ADVERTISER that it
ell for the State Democratic
to provide that no voting
where shall contain more
tiers. When as many as five
%Or Elk hundred ballots are cast in one
box the count is necessarily delayed
for many hours. The longer the returns
are in coming in the greater is the OPP
portunity for the practice of fraud.
