The track lay irg gang was working then just on the edge of a small pond, and to a man the big crowd of negroes splashed in- to water nearly waist deep when they heard the report. This put a dash of comedy In the drama and some what relieved the tension.
 As if weary of all this night work the scene was shifted Saturday to the courts. and all of that day injunctions and counter injuEctions were sailing around. On the 18th of June there was a conference in the private car of General Manager Metcalf of the Louis-

at "Dixie," an appropriate and
beautiful place, was delightful
event. Notwithstanding the in.
tense heat and the busy season
with farmers, the attendance
was particularly large and the
proceedings were of most inter.
esting nature. In addition to the
veterans and their charming
families, the members of the
"Junior Order of American
Mechanics" were present in full
force. When the veterans were
formed in line, preparatory to
marching to the speakers stand,
under escort of the Junior Order,
there must have been more than
two thousand people on the spac-
ious grounds. A more orderly
and observant audience could
not be desired.
The veterans of Camp Dixie,
United Confederate Veterans
were led ~. by Commander
w. q. A. Porter, who served
with conspicuous courage in
the famous 18th regiment of
Sourh Carolina Volunteers, in
the army of Northern Virginia.
They presented a fine appearance
and marched with firm foot
steps, although more than forty
years have passed since they
served with bravery and fidelity
In the Confederate army.

who was one of the youngest Of
those who worthily wore the
gray, registered the names of

blank ballots, and deliver the same to the
precinct chairman of his party; provided
that such ballots shall contain no writing
or printing or other indentifying marks,
except the names of such persons as are
to be voted for. The name of the person
or persons in whose interest such ballots
are prepared, or the name of the issue
which such delegation represent, may
be written or printed at the head of the
list of names.
From the above it will be seen that
the section refers to the selection of
DELEGATES ONLY, but does al
low the name of the person or the
issue the delegation is to repesent.
1t does not allow names of all candi-
dates for office to be placed on the
ballot and undesirable names marked
off. Such a scheme would be in the
nature of a primary election, but
without protection of law and binding
upon no one. The intent of the law
was to preserve the secrecy Of the
caucus ballot, but this would allow a
perfect Identification by each voter.
1t was the intent of the law to
allow nothing in the way of ia primary
election this year. Section 45 of the
same law provides that direct nomi-
alton system may be adopted by any
party at any county convention held
for the purpose or nominating county
officers. The convention in Septem-
ber then is the first convention that
can legally adopt anything in the
way of a primary system, which
would not allow the system to become
operative until 1908.
The suggestions by the freak, who
did not want to father it by signing
his name, is clearly contrary to law.
There can be but one object in such
a suggestion: to make trouble. To
spring such a scheme at this late date
would be to conduct the caucuses in
manner not contemplated by law, and
in manner which the voters are not
familiar, and with which they have
not the time at this season to famili-
ize themselves.
The statement that this scheme of
putting the names of candidates for
office on the same ballots with the
names of delegates has been adopted
by Codington county is false, II was
