It is gratifying-on the proverbial principle Of
gladly receiving even small favors-to know that
the prompt demolition of st. Johns chapel has
not yet been irrevocably decreed. but that while
the venerable place of worship is TO be closed
and abandoned and its group Of worship
pers are to be arbitrarily transferred to an
other place there Is still a possibility that the
material structure may for time be spared. It
ought to be possible IN way to make its
preservation perpetual If not as a chapel Of
Trinity Parish independent property.

to Ben Tillman, the people of South
Carolina now elect United States

lature only confirms the choice of the
people when it elects the candidate
who receives a majority vote in the
primary We choose the Governor.
all State officers, as well as Con-
gressmen, in the same way, and
the plan certainly works well. The
law requires that all the last named
officers shall be chosen by direct
vote in November, not December as
The News and Courier has it, but
that don't prevent the white people
in all the Southern States from chos-
ing the candidates they want to vote
for in the general election in Dem
ocratic primary like we have it in
South Carolina. In this way all in
dependents would be elimiasted and
the white people would have only
one candidate to vote for and he
would certainly be elected. If the
people has sense enough to choose
the members Of the Legislator that
The News and Courier want to elect
the Senator, they certainly have
sense enough to elect the Senator.
Mr.. Bryan and his followers are GER
tainly willing to trust the people TO
elect the United States Senators in
every State. We are sure we would
then get a Senate that would more
nearly represent the interests of
the people than the present body.
Not only that. We would like to see
the President and Vice-Peesident
elected by direct vote too. We
would advise the News and Courier
to haul down it's searecrow and run
up the white flag as the above squib
indicates that it is out Of anti-Bryan
ammunition,

Don't Get frustrated.

Under the caption "Mr. Bryan
Menace to the South" The News
and Courier says:
''If South Carolina shall send q
Bryan delegation to the Denver Con-
vention it follows that the people
wish United States Senators elected
by direct vote in the general cleo
tions. That is Mr.. Bryon's hobby.
That. more than any other measure,
he presses. That he has held to
steadfastly while abandoning free
silver, anti-imperialism and perhaps
other paramount issues The en-
dorsement of Mr.. Bryan's view
would be involved in Mr.. Bryan's
nomination.
do theSDemoCrats of South Caro-
lima wish that United States Sena-
tors be not elected by the Legisla-
ture, but that they be chosen in the
Decembee elections---in which only
the registered and otherwise qualifi-
ed voters participate? Our political
leaders are exceedingly solicitous
about the 'illiterate white people, ,
they remember the poor man who
has a vote in the primary when the
repeal of the lien law is proposed;
shall the white man who is not a
qualified voter be debarred from
voting for United States Senators?
''If the politicians of South Carroll
ma must have Bryan delegation, let
them have it, but they must elect it
with their eyes open. Election of
United States Senators by popular
vote would invite the candidacy of
independents in every Southern
State and demolish the political SOL
idarity of the Southern white party.

''SHALL the white man who is not

asks the News and Courier. There
are thousands of white men in this
State who have voluntarily disquaI-
ifed themselves by failing to regis
ter, but that does not prevent them
from helping to chose a United
States Senator in the primary cleo
ton. After the Senator is chosen
it makes very little difference who
votes to carry the nomination into
effect in the general election.

The News and Courier says "elec-
tiou of United States Senators by
popular vote would invite the candi-
dacy of independents in every
Southern State and demolish the po-
litical solidarity of the Southern
white party" In all the Southern
States the Democrats nominate their
candidates for Governor and other
oAicere by popular vote in a pri-
mary and then elect them in the
general election in November, yet
we don't hear anything Of the solid
acity of the Southern white party
being demolished. Then why should
the election of the United States
Senators in the same way demolish
the solidarity of the Southern white
party?

 When he returned from the picnic anu started to leave the train at the union passenger station he picked up the gun in his left hand and in some manner the weapon was discharged, the whole load going into the instep and ankle, making a horrible wound and precluding any hope of saving the injured member.
 Physicians were hastily summoned and Dr. Kenan arrived in his automobile an1 carried the injured man at once to q focal hospital where 1t was found nee essary to amputate the limb He stood the ordeal exceedingly well and 1t Is thought will recover.

Mass of Itching, Burning Humor on AnkIes-Feet FearfuIIy Swollen -0piates Alone Brought Sleep Many Treatments Failed but
TORTURES OF ECZEMA
 YIELDED TO CUTICURA

"Cuticura Remedies are all you claim them to be. 1 had eczema for over two years. I had two physicians, but they only gave me relief for short time and cannot enumerate the ointments and lotions 1 used to no purpose. My ankles were one mass of sores. The itching and burning were so intense that could not sleep. could not walk for nearly four months. One day my husband said I had better try the Cuti- cura Remedies. After using them three times, had the best nights rest in months unless took an opiate. I used one set of Cuticura Soap, Cuticura Ointment, and Cuticura Resolvent Pills, and my ankles healed in short time. It is now a year since I used Cuti- cura, and there has been no return of the eczema.
 "I had small lump in the corner of my eye for ove- year which was very painful and got larger all the time. I thought I would try Cuticura Soap and Ointment on it, and now it is gone. I am seventy-three years old and have lived on the farm l now occupy for twenty-seven years. Cuticura Reme- dies are the safest and most reliable I have ever used for all skin humors.
