Campaign Finds.

All legislative bodies ought to pro
hibit under severe penalties the use of
corporation funds for political purposes
of any kind. Public opinion is practi-
cally unanimous as TO the demoralizing
effect of such contributions, and in the
light of the disclosures of the past
year, showing how baleful is the init
mate relation between corporation
funds in the hands of party committees
and candidates and corporation funds
in the hands of legislative lobbyists, no
one would now have the hardihood to
defend them. The seat of the evil is
more particularly in corporations
which by their very nature or by mere
bulk of ter operations assume the
character of public institutions, but
there is no need of limiting the prohi-
billions of the law to any particular
class of corporations. The law will be
more effective in such matter If its

Is Yates Right About IL?

\ short time since Richard Yates re-
peatedly made the statement that the
Cullom crowd in the state is opposed
to direct primary. The answer from
the CuIlom supporters was that it is
an Illusion on the part of Yates, and
there was n disposition to let it go at
that.
Ii may be remarked right now that
Senator o. F. Berry, a chief Cullom
lieutenant in the state. is not doing
anything to dispel the illusion. In Il
talk made by him last week he ridl-
culed the notion that there is de-
mand among the people of this state
for a direct primary. that is one in
which the party men vote directly for
candidates at the primary. Berry said
the alleged demand started with few
Chicago newspapers, and he does not
think there is now any more to it. 9th
er senator's from the country districts
arose in their places and told that
there is a genuine demand among their
constituents for the direct primary. The
same story could be heard on the house
side of the legislature. The governor
had the same thing. stated emphati-
calIy. in his message to the extra ses-
sion.
Yet Senator Berry. at the head of
the Cullom forces, persists in the
statement that there is no demand for
the direct primary. Now there are
many people who will suspect that
Yates was not far off when he stated
the Cullom people are at heart OPP
posed 70 such primary.

provisions tare simple and sweeping.
No one proposes to infringe the right
of the citizen to contribute to the poll
tical party of his choice for any leSit-
innate purpose. Els right is indisput-
able. 1t is the corporation contribution
that infringes that right, because the
stockholders of a railroad. telegraph or
bank company or the policyholders; of
a life insurance company entrust their
money TO the corporation for the speci-
fic purposes of the business carried on,
and are sure to belong to different po-
Iitical parties. If there were no other
objection. it is a fragrant breach OF
trust to devote the money of one stock
holder to promote the opposite politi-
cal purposes of another. AS a matter
of fact il the use of corporation funds
in politics is almost invariably for pur-
poses hostile to the interests of the
great majority of all stockholders
Public policy requires that political
activity shall emanate and be sustain
ed from citizens as individuals and
that it shall be divorced to the utmost
extent possible from those great cor
porate bodies which. created by law

one penny of its funds to the uses OF
political parties under any pretense
whatever.

THE SOUTH AND WESTERN.
New Railroad From Tennessee Heading
this Way.

SPARTANBURG, Mach IL. The South
and Western has surveyed its route
towards the coast through the coal
fields of Tennessee and Virginia, and
this survey is completed within eighteen
miles of Spartanburg.
From Marion, N. c., to the distance
above cited a large force of hands are
at work. AS soon as all technical
points are removed the construction
from Marion to Spartanburg will be
entered on in dead earnest.
The fact that the road has been sur
veyed within eighteen miles of the city
means that it will reach here soon.
Construction from Marion hencefor-
ward is in progress. AS soon as the
contract is let, which will involve a
considerable expenditure, the route of
the new road, the South and Western,
as to entering Spartanburg, will be
announced in Laurens.
This is the same road for which q
recent survey has been made in this
county from Yarborough's bridge, on
Enoree River to Clinton, via of Ty-
lersville and the County Home.
