Political Sanitation Needed.

While the Independent candidate fol
county supervisor received little sup
port, the regular nominee was given
my one third as many votes as were
cast in the democratic primary, anC
my two-tnirdS the number that he
himself had then received. Yet every
one of the more than four tnouSanC
primary voters were solemnly pledged
70 support" him. He had opposition
put they did not support" MIN be-
cause they did not vote.
An interesting object lesson is pre-
sented IN the Ward 5 vote of 125 fol
owens in the general election-lesS
tnan any other ward in the city. Yet
ward 5 has more than one thousand
names upon it's club rolls, and polle6
upward of 500 votes in the Democratic
primary. 1t is the largest precinct in
this section Of the state, and by voting
with comparative SOlidIty, can control
any primary election in Richland coun-
ty. Ward elected CASTOR judge OF
probate, it gave Owens the primary
nomination for supervisor. But wher
it came to defend his title to that Office
in the general election, Ward made
by far the poorest showing. If the
regular nominee had depended wholly
upon that ward he would have been
defeated.
What is the trouble? Is it because
voters in Ward were not qualified tc
vote under the laws governing the suf-
frage? Did they neglect to register:
Or were they in the condition of a
number of our literary and business
friends-without poll tax receipts?
There should be a remedy for con-
dition that is unsafe and unwholesome
Political sanitation is needed.-Colum-
bia State.
That is a very clear statement OF
conditions that may be easily dupli-
Gated in other parts of the state. 1t is
a logical rule that irresponsible votes
are more easily corraled by irresponsi-
BILE and undesirable politicians, and
the only safeguard lies in restric-
tions that will confine the right OF
suffrage to permanently established
taxpayers.

These messages were today ex-
changed between Lincoln, Neb., and
Cincinnati. The message from Mr..
Bryan came while Judge Taft was ad-
dressing the general conference Of the
Womens Foreign Missionary society
of the Methodist Episcopal church. He
received the message on his return to
his residence and answered 1t at once.
In his address to the women, Judge
Taft gave an enthusiastic commenda-
ton of foreign mission work.
His experience in the far east, he
said. had taught him the value Of this
work in uplifting these people and he
commented upon the elevating effect
of Christianity upon the heather wo-
men. The Philippines, Judge Taft, as
serted, the present degree of success
in civilization and government was
made possible through the influence OF
Christianity.

Mr. Schorb celebrated his ninetieth

DIR. ]. D. Mcdowell has established
his office in the upper north rooms of
the Shandon hotel.
There was no bell ringing Tuesday
night and no dynamite; but at the
same time it is fair to say that there
was little evidence of very keen dis
appointment.
Strong pressure is being brought
to bear on Mr. Louis Roth to engage

While he was in the business, Mr..
Roth had quite large patronage that
has never been so we'll satisfied else

-Gaffney Ledger, November 3:
Judge Klugh yesterday issued an or
der prohibiting persons from splitting
on the floor or throwing litter Of any
kind upon the floor Of the court house
or indulging in any other acts or con-
duct abusive to the public property or
calculated to disturb the good order or
interfere with the good order OF the
court Any one violating the order
shall be subject to a fine. Judge Klugh
is to be commended Thoughtless peo-
pie abuse public property, not because
they do not know better. but because
they do not care, and they should be
made to have a regard for the coun-
tvs property and the comfort of 9TH
ors. We have never seen court house
that did not resemble more or less
hog pen. because OF the indecency OF
tobacco chewers in eXpectorating upon
the floor It's unSanitary and there
fore unhealthy. and we applaud the
order Of Judge Klugh.

AS WAS EXPECTED-In the states
surely Democratic there was no earn
est desire for the nomination Of Mr.
Bryan. Less than ten thousand voters
participated in the township and ward
meetings that chose delegates to the
South Carolina state convention, and
when the convention was held, it's pro-
ceedings were marked with no enthu-
eiasm. The convention instructed for
Bryan in defiance of the popular will
f'r the majority Of people in their clubs
and county conventions refused to in
struct delegates to send instructed DEL

THE most important lesson that the
people of the south have to learn in
politics is. that individuals must dc
their own thinking. The north and
west have the advantage of independ-
ence of thought. There can be but
little political progress under condi-
tions that compel everybody to vote
he same way.
Yorkville enquirer. [volume] (Yorkville, S.C.) 1855-2006, 1908-11-06

1t will be noted from the foregoing
that the voters generally voted the
straight ticket. The state and county
ticket runs about one hundred behind
the Federal ticket. All the candidates
en- the state and county tickets here
received practically the same number
of votes. This is necessarily the case
for the reason that scratched ballot
could not be counted.

found guilty tonight in the criminal
branch of the United States circuit

dion of funds and falsifying the books

The vuIaarity of Waste.

When you see a housewife who
keeps bread lying around until II
molds; who permits mildew to get into
the clothes; who allows her stockings
and those of her family to fall TO
pieces for want of darning; who COOKS
up a lot of food which she ought to
know will not be eaten and that VIII
be cast into the garbage can; who
"thrashes through" her best frocks by
putting them on to do kitchen work,
you may be sure she is "tacky." You
will never find a woman of that de-
scription who is not cheap and who
hasn't common streak in her as wide
as a gate. Well, it is exactly the same
with people or nation, says the
Kansas City Star. When you see
country reckless in the use OF its re-
sources and heedlessly destructive OF
the treasures with which 1t has been
endowed by nature, you can depend
upon it that it possesses the ingredi-
ents of cheapness and inferiority. We
laugh great deal about the proverbial
disregard of the future commonly wit
messed in our "colored brother" as
long as he has a dollar in his pocket.
But what essential difference is there
between the complacency of the "Sene-
gambian" with the price of meal and
a lodging ahead, and the blind indif-
ference of a country and its people
that go ahead despoiling timber lands,
consuming coal with needless extrava-
gance, permitting vast quantities or
gas and oil to get away, and taking no
care whatever to make provision for
any reinforcement Of the supplies
which 1t consumes. So, while the con-
gress of conservation at Washington
is in mind, let us not forget that the
wastefulness habitually practiced by
the American people is not only wick
ed and hopelessly stupid, but that 1t
is likewise cheap and "tacky" and re-
veals not one trace of sane judgment
or proper breeding.

HOW TO BE LUCKY ALWAYS.

George Salsberry, mining operator.

WINGED that advice is not always worth
less. He told about Il at the st. Fran

mighty valuable advice, and from en-
tire strangers, too. 1t shows we're all
akin and that the milk of human kind
ness is ever ready to flow if we hold
pail for 1t.
There was Turner-ever hear of
him? He's prospector-at Rawhide.
We were sitting In the hotel Ginning,
when along came a fellow who knew
Turner slightly, but gave him the
best advice in the world, and next
week Turner struck it rich.

Canada After Settlers.

The Canadian Dominion has not yet
found it necessary to begin the con-
servation Of. resources, though the
time may come sooner than is antici-
pated Just now the principal effort
appears to be to attract settlers and to
open up regions which the railroad
companies are DESTROYS Of having de-
veloped. The announcement comes
from Vancouver that the government
of British Columbia is planning to sell
vast tracts of land, having decided to
dispose of 100000 or 100000
worth this year. In the operations
the government will have the active
aid of one of the big railroad concerns.
An American has been engaged to
manage the deal, says the Troy On.
Y.) Times, and part of the project con-
sists of laying out model city, with
paved streets, sewers, water system
and bother conveniences. Another
feature of the plan will be the employ
ment Of landscape gardener to ar
range surroundings that will be ornate
and attractive. All this is done with
view to making settlers feel at home
and providing them with advantages
such are are seldom found in from
tier region. The contrast with the ex-
periences of the earlier pioneers in the
United States and Canada is impress.
