THE CASE OF CANSLER.

After the tabulating committee had
brought in it's report at the meeting OF
the executive committee last night,
saws the Columbia State Of Sunday,
Capt. F. c. Fishburne created a sur
prise by announcing that he would
enter protest against declaring Cansler
of TirZah in the second race with Mr..
Caughman. Capt. Fishburne was one
Of the candidates for this office him
self and at YOrkville stated that Can
sler was not really citizen in that
he had never reg stored and had not
enrolled his name on the Democratic
club rolls. That afternoon, it was
stated, Mr.. Canser enrolled and regis
tered.
This fact was brought out in an af-
fidavit presented by Capt. Fishburne,
who made strong argument for ac-
tion bv the committee declaring Can
sIpr ont of the second race. The af-
fidavit stated that Cansler had not been
a qualified electOr from 1895 to 1897
and therefore had violated his oath
in that he swOre that he would support
the nominees of the Democratic party
He produced a book from the office of
the secretary Of state to show that his
name was not on the books of York
county as a qualified electOr.
Capt. Fishburne also stated that but
for the rain and flood troubles he would
have had for presentation to the COM
mittee certificate showing that Can
Sler was not enrolled as a Democratic
voter at TirZah, although in his
speecheS and on hotel registers
throughout the state he had enrolled
as "Cansler of Tirzah." He presented
affidavits from the clerk of court OF
York county to this effect and also an
affidavit from Maj. Fl. w. Richardson,
also candidate for the office. stating
that the facts as given in Mr.. Fish
burne's affidavit were correct.
Chairman Jones said the question
had never been presented in just this
form. but he did not think the points
raised would interfere with the rules
and constitution of the party in de-
Claring Cansler in the second race with
Caughman.
Mr.. w. f. Stevenson said that about
60 per cent Of those who voted in the
primary did not vote in the general
election. and that while he thought this
bad practice, there was nothing in the
rules Of the party to diSbar CanSler,
cSpecialy as he registered afterwards
and was now an electOr.
Mr. F'ishburne said Cansler was not
Yorkville enquirer. [volume] (Yorkville, S.C.) 1855-2006, 1908-09-01

an elector at the time he filed his
pledge for the office. He asked the
committee not to take snap judgment
on the matter, but to consider the
rules and constitution carefully and to
stand by them. He argued that to let
Cansler into the race would be letting
down the bars for Republicans or
members Of any other party who
might file their pledge and poll vote
fer those who thought they were yot-
ing for a Democrat.
AS clerk Of court Of Charleston cOun-
ty he had often issued certificates to
those who might have lost their reg
istratiOn certificates. Had Cansler been
supplied with one and lost 1t he could
easily have obtained another one. This
was in answer to an argument by Mr..
Stevenson that any candidate for an
office might be disqualified should he
appear at the polls in November and
not be able to produce his certificate.
The law requires that no one can hold
office unless he is qualified elector.
Mr. Stevenson thought matters were
mixed as to the difference between en-
rollment for the primary and the reg
istratiOn for the general election.
Mr. Caughman, who was present at
the meeting, asked permission to make
a statement, which was granted. He
said that the protest had been made
without his knowledge and that he
looked upon Cansler as a Democrat.
Should Cansler be elected he would bow
to the will of the people and would not
think of making a fight to hold the
office on technical grounds, as suggest
ed might be done by Mr.. Fishbune.
1t was brought out that the election
had already been declared and after
the arguments had been concluded and
Mr. Fishburne had pointed out the
dangerous precedent the committee was
about to establish, 1t was moved and
carried that the vote as declared for
the second race for railroad commits
sioner be recalled. This was done for
the purpose Of getting Mr.. Fishburne's
protest on record. 1t was then moved
to table the protest and this was
adopted with the dissenting vote Of
Committeeman Jerry Dunn Of Charles
ton, who thought that the rules Of
Charleston should prevail elsewhere
that is, that no one should be allowed
to vote in the primary unless qualified
for the general election. 1t was de-
cided not to select the presidential
electors until the meeting on Sept. Is,
when the result of the second primary
will be declared.

- The court house auditorium was

gathered to witness the presentation
of the laughable comedy THE Dea-
con" presented under the management
Of Mrs j. M. Ferguson for the henefit
of the furnace fund of the Methodist
church and the organ fund or the
PRESBYTERIAN church. There was IN
attempt to present this play on Mon
day night of last week, but because
of the torrential rain that fell that
evening and night, the audience was
small and a repetition was desirable:
The Yorkvile Cornet band furnished
music last night and the play which
was most creGitably presented, was
very enjoyable. Interesting special
features were recitations by Miss
Olive Walker and Miss Frances Allen.
Both won liberal applause. AS an in
cident OF the money raising in con
nection with the entertainment the
energetic management secured quite
a number Of curtain advertisements,
including advertisements for one OF
the candidates. AS is invariably the
case a portion Of the audience had its
fun at the expense Of some Of the de-
fdated. The returns from the enter
tainment were quite satisfactory.

PEANUT politics is bad enough; but
thug politics is really more dangerous
to the liberties of the people. While
we would have our friends to under
stand that we can conceive Of no
sweeter treasure than their sympathy
and support. we want it understood
that we want that support only in so
far as we stand for that which is just
and right and good and pure. Or
course, the editor of The Enquirer does
not relish the idea of being beaten by
bullies. and it gives him no pleasure
to contemplate the possibility of as
saSsination; but these contingencies
are Of small consequence in comparison
with the maintenance of the constitu-
tional right of freedom of speech and
of the press. The laws as to libel and
slander are very strict in this state, so
much so as to be almost unjust to the
newspapers. and a newspaper that
oversteps the bounds of propriety to
the least extent is liable to be mulcted
for damages. The financial response
bility of this newspaper is easily suf-
ficient to interest almost any indivi'-
ual who wants a salve for a real or
imaginary grievance, and if our sense
Of right and justice were not sufficient
to keep us within the bounds OF pro-
priety, fear Of financial loss would be
ample. But thug or no thug, assassin
or no assassin, damages or no dam
ages. as long as we are able to write
anything at all, we will continue to
stand for honor, truth and justice as
the only healthy foundation for the
peace. prosperity and we'll being of our
county and state.

SENATOR CHRISTENSEN.-The re-
election Of Neils Christensen Jr., as
state senator from Beaufort county
gave pleasure not only to his many
friends in this state, but in some of the
cities in Georgia, where he is well
known. The Savannah News in a To-
cal story says:
"Savannahians will learn with pleas
ure of the reelection of State Senator
Neils Christensen, Jr., in the Beaufort
;. c., district, because besides his per-
SOnal popularity here he is the cham
piOn of the Beaufort road proposition
and his reelection assures a COntinu-
ance of the road campaign.
while the election was held Tues
day, all Of the returns were not in un-
til yesterday. Reports showed that
Senator Christensen beat his oppo-
nent Col. Talbird, by 445 to 3S6 votes.
In view of the acquaintance here of
the candidates, there was considerable
interest in the race, and particlarly
because Col. Talbird was looked upon
as being rather Indifferent toward the
Beaufort rOa proposition.
Senator Christensen is regarded as
one of the strongest young men in the
South Carolina Legislature. His re-
election is regarded by his friends
here as an approval of his prosecution
of graft and corruption in the state
diSn'nsary.
His clear conscientious work in
handling all public questions made him
man of influence in the upper branch
Of the South Carolina Legislature. Mr..
Christensen is not an orator and does
rot occupy the floor of the senate very
Frequently but his quiet work and
irIlunnce are felt in shaping legisla-
ton

- Spartanburg, August %: All
danger to the twenty or more big cot
ton mills along the river is passed.
Several of the mills have been forced
to shut down on account Of dams and
races being washed away. There has
been no loss of life in this section. At
Pelzer, S. c., an entire family, wagon
and team of mules perished in the
Saluda river. Two negroes while at
work on a railroad trestle in Laurens
county were carried down stream. 1t
is supposed that thirty or more peo-
pie have been drowned throughout
the state during the past week. The
farmers have lost thousands Of dollars
by their stock perishing in the swol-
len streams. The damage to county
bridges in this county will exceed
100000. The Piedmont section of
the state is still cut off from Augusta,
Columbia and Charleston, and twenty
miles of the track of the Southern
railroad on the Broad river valley
are under water, and in many places
the track has been washed away. It
will probably be three weeks before all
railroad schedules are adjusted. The
city is crowded with delayed passen-
gers who are trying to get back to their
homes in various sections Of the state
and south, after having spent the
in the mountains.

Held Up BY the Flood.
The following Yorkville people went
on the Southern's excursion to Char
lesion last week: Mr.. w. E. Ferguson,
Mrs. T. N. Thomasson, Mrs. d. c..
Clark, Messrs. J. L. Sanders, w. r..
Latimer, Cal Gordon, E. G. Pursley,
Harvey Ferguson, Frank Sherrer, and
others. The excursion train left We'd
nesday and was to have cotton back
Friday afternoon; but the excursion
lists did not get back until Saturday
night and Sunday morning. They were
delayed by the floods, and had an anx-
ious time Of it. The train stopped on
the Congaree bridge for about fifteen
minutes, and the excursionists had a
good opportunity to watch the surging,
muddy flood. After the excursionists
got to Charleston, they had great
time Of it except there was considera-
BILE anxiety because Of the cutting off
of communication from home by wire
and otherwise.

(Rock Hill Record.)

The Record would be sorry, indeed,
IL the time had arrived in York coun-
ty when an editor Of newspaper dare
not express an independent opinion
on matters political. 1t seems, how
ever, that the editor brave enough to
condemn dispensary advocates and
dispensary methods runs the risk of
being villainously assaulted by cow
ardly and brutal men. At least, such
was the experience of Editor Grist, of
the Yorkville Enquirer, last Thursday
afternoon. The assault on Mr.. Grist
was nothing less than brutal and cow
ardly and without the least justifica-
ton. What Mr.. Grist should have
done was to have picked up a chair
and Drained his assailant, and 1t Is a
great pity that he did not do 1t. Men
with thin skins and sensitive consci-
ences should not play dispensary pol
itics, or else should keep their meth
ods so clean that the newspapers can
find no ground for criticism. 1t Is
pretty nearly time that the politicians
had found out around here that there
are some newspaper editors in YORK
county who dare to speak out openly
Licking the editor with a hickory
stick will not get the dispensary back
in York county. The attack on Mr..
Grist cannot be too severely condemn
ed. 1t certainly will not have the ef-
feet Of curbing his Independent polit-
ical opinions The liquor men fall
ed to get control Of York county, and
they are naturally sore.
It is well-nigh objectionable for
Clerk of the Court Tate to have allow
ed this disgraceful scene to be enact
ed in his office. He is a sworn officer
of the law and should have done ev-
erything in his power to prevent the
cowardly outrage.
