ThE COUNTY CANVASS.

The county campaigners were at
Piedmont on Tuesday, Hickory Grove
on Wednesday, and at Blairsville yes
terday. Today's meeting Is being held
at McConnellsville and the canvass
winds up at Yorkville tomorrow.
There was a comparatively small
crowd in attendance at Piedmont
Mr.. r. NJ. Wallace presided, and the
various candidates made virtually the
same speeches that they have been
making There were no unusual de-
velopments.
The Hickory Grove crowd was also
small, as is usually the case at that
place, and the speaking was about the
same as at PiCImont. There were
no developments out of the ordinary
except that the meeting was broken
up in the afternoon by a much needed
rain.
The meeting at Blairsville yester-
day was the largest of the campaign,
not excepting that at Rock Hill. 1t
was made the occasion of a big pic
mic and the people of the entire sur
rounding country, including young
and old were in attendance. Mr.. j.
P. Blair presided. There was nothing
new that is worthy Of special men,

THERE are a good many people who
are objecting to the action of the coun-
ty commissioners recently in employ
ing a road engineer at a salary Of S2,-
900 a year. and they are putting the
responsibility on the Saye road law
AS to whether it was wise to employ a
road engineer at $4,000, we shall not
discuss further than to say that in our
opinion the supervision of a practical
engineer is an absolutely necessary
prerequisite to good roads. But IN
this matter the Saye law is not fairly
TO be held responsible. The Saye law
provides for the surveying and profil-
ing Of all the roads in the county by
contract within one year. The engi-
neer who gets this contract under the
Saye law, is required to give bond for
faithful service and completion of his
work within the time specified. The
engineer employed by the board of
commissioners was employed for year
for $4,000 to do such work as he could
do himself and with such help as
should be furnished him within that
time. We have not heard that the
county board of commissioners have
given the Saye law as their authority
for their action in this matter. If they
have given the Saye law as their au-
thority, we do not think they had a
right to do so. And If they have not
carried out the Saye law exactly, they
have done what they have done on
their own motion.

SOUTH CAROLINA NEWS.

- Spartanburg special to The Colum-
hia State: Mr.. Stanyarne Wilson'S ac-
ton in withdrawing from the race for
the house Of representatives is thought
by many to be the outcome Of an event
at a campaign meeting at Cowpens,
Wednesday. AS Mr.. Wilson rose to
speak some one in the audience called
"Hurrah for Spartanburg fire insur-
ance!" This was greeted with laugh
that for a few seconds drowned the
speakers voice. Continuing, Mr.. Will
son stated that he had no axe to grind
and that his object in wishing to go
to the house was that he might fight
the extravaganza of the present ad-
ministration. If it could be proved
that he had been working for his own
interests when he returned he said he
would leave the county.
- Columbia special to Charlotte OBJ
the big low-country towns today told
the Observer correspondent how the
negroes Of that town had quietly got
control of the politics of the town by
slowly building up a negro registered
vote This is not a majority, but it is
dangerously near a majority, and the
whites fear it to such an extent that
they will not disregard the wishes Of
the negro leaders. "NOw, of course we
do not attempt to run the town." said
this negro leader, "but we see to it
that no mayor or set of aldermen is
nominated in the primary that would
90 our interests serious injury. The
other side knows that If a seriously
Objectionable man were nominated, we
could defeat him in the general cleo
ton by combining with boilers. In
other words. we constitute the balance
of power. We have had sense enough
ed wisely"
- Columbia special to the Charlotte
Observer: The race for United States
senator still has people throughout the
state guessing as to which Of the sew
en candidates for Mr. Latimer's place
is likely to win out All sides concede
that there will be a second race, none
of the candidates even claiming any
chance of getting in on the first pri-
mary. Who will be in the second race
is the question everybody is asking.
In the beginning Ex-Governor Evans
was thought to have a cinch on the
lead, but this idea appears to have
been dissipated. There are five lead
ers, opinion being about equally divid-
ed as to which will be in the second
race. These five are Col. George John
stone Of Newberry State Superintend-
ent of Education O. B. Martin Of Co.
lumbia; Mr.. Evans; Mayor r. G. Rhett
If Charleston, and Mr.. E. d. Smith, the
cotton association man. On the other
hand there are many who think that
Colonel Lumpkin may get into the sec
Ond race. The only thing about
the race that seems to be generally
conceded is that John p. Grace, the
other Charleston candidate, will not be
in the second race. Opinion differs as
to what effect he has been able to have
on the candidacy Of Mr. Rhett. In the
Judgment OF some, Mr.. Grace has sue
ceeded in keeping Mr.. Rhett from the
second race. a sentiment that the 9TH
er senatorial candidates have indus
triOuSly attempted to keep alive. In
the opinion Of others, however, Mr..
Grace's work has benefited Mr.. Rhett.

and to reverse if there has been any
infractiOn of these rules. 1t says:
This makes the trial of a case a
game, in which the one wins who
plays the most skilfully, the merits of
the controversy having no part" The
unrestricted right to a writ of error
in criminal cases is characterized as
a fragrant abuse. The report adds:
These writs are constantly sued out
solely for delay. The punishment of
notorious criminals thus is constant
ly being postponed in violation of ev-
cry principle of justice. This is es-
pecially fragrant in the suing out OF
writs of error from the supreme court
of the United States to review the
decision Of the highest courts OF
criminal Jurisdiction in the several
states. We recommend that no writ
of error returnable in criminal cases
to the supreme court of the United
States should be allowed unless a
Justice at that court shall certify that
there is probable cause to believe that
the defendant was unjustly convicted"

after there was reason to believe that
everybody had forgotten the original
troubles. There are some people In the
town who are unable to see why the
franchise should not be granted under
proper guarantees as to rates and SER
vice. They say a franchise which does
not attempt the exclusion Of competi-
ton does not amount to anything any
way. Others insist that If the fran
chise was not very valuable the tele-
phone people would not be so anxious
for It, and If it is so valuable, there Is
no reason why it should be given away
without a consideration. They say that
/ they are willing for the telephone peo-
pie to make all the Improvements they
want to make; but II the telephone
people are not willing to trust the town
the town Is foolish to trust the tele-
phone people. Also that telephone rates
will eventually become a matter OF
legislative regulation, and II the town
Of Yorkville should be bound up In
twenty-five year franchise In the
meantime, it could not get the benefit
of subsequent legislative rate changes
until the expiration Of its spe-
cial contract. There Is absolutely no
reason to distrust the good intentions
of the town council in the matter or
of any member Of it. The sole question
Is whether the town Is to derive any
present or future advantage from CIV
ing up this franchise. But that the
franchise will eventually be granted
there Is no reason to doubt. The fact
that some Of the most strenuous origi-
nal opponents Of the proposition have
changed over is evidence Of the old
saying that times change and men
change with them and eventually the
telephone people will carry their point

The Primary Campaign.

The official canvass of the county
comes to a close at Yorkville tomorrow
and most Of the issues Of the campaign
will be settled in the primary Of next
Tuesday.
The Enquirer has been at considera-
BILE pains to keep its readers as well
informed as possible as to the devel-
opments of the campaign, and we
think that it has done this work about
as we'll as it could fairly be expected
to do.
When it comes to the voting next
Tuesday We hope the people will vote
just as they feel like voting. AS to
what the outcome may be, will be a
matter Of very little concern to The
Enquirer All we want is an honest
expression of the will Of the majority
and there will be no good ground tC
complain of the result

BECAUSE OF THE PRIMARY

The next issue of The Enquirer due
to appear Tuesday afternoon is hardly
to be expected before Wednesday
morning.
The anticipated delay is because of
the desirability of giving the returns
from the primary election to be held
next Tuesday.
The primary poles will not be closed
until o'clock and it will be late in
the night before the returns can be
collected and presented.
We are now endeavoring to complete
arrangements for the presentation Of
full returns from all the precincts
within twelve hours after the close of
the polls, and If we fail to do so it will
not be because Of the sparing of any
reasonable pains on our part.

What was left of the printing plant
that was brought to Yorkville for the
purpose Of establishing the York En-
terprise. and afterward used In the
publication of the papers known as
the Yorkville Yeoman and YorkVille
New Era, has been sold to Messrs. ).
Fl. Schroeder &, Bro, Of Atlanta, ia"
The plant consists of Country Camp
bell printing press, a small job press
tvpe stands, cases and other materials
in various stages Of wear. Messrs.
Schroeder & Bro. paid 5000 for the
outfit. A part of it they will repair
and resell, and a part Of 1t they Will
consign to the junk heap. This OLD
plant has had quite an eventful history
locally; but truthful review OF that
history would hardly add in any con-
siderable measure to the pleasant rec
objections of any Of those most direct
ly concerned.
There is likely to be more scattering
in the voting for the legislative ticket
than most people suppose. AT the out
set the general opinion among the pol
iticians not necessarily In the secret
WAS that one ticket would be Stew
art, Epps, Glasscock, Johnson ana
Wilson. The other was generally as
sumed to be Saye, Hollis, Hurt and
Sanders. But it has become evident
that there will be a good deal Of split
ting. 1t was assumed that Johnson
was on the Stewart ticket for the pur-
pose of carrying the cotton mill vote TO
that side. 1t has been noticed how
ever that both Stewart and Wilson In
refuting an alleged campaign lie, about
an alleged combination, would refrain
from mentioning Johnson. Stewart
would say Sam Epps, Little Black
Wilson, Jim Glasscock, myself and ant
other man." and Wilson would men,
ton Mr.. Stewart, Mr.. Epps, Mr. Glass
cock. himself and another man. 1t Is
supposed that Johnson was left. out
through a fear that the farmer element
of Stewards supporters would not
stand for Johnson. 1t Is generally De-
lieved that Johnson is very strong
among the cotton mill voters and that
he can carry a good many Of them
either way he chooses. The suppor-
ters of Saye will, for the most part,
vote for Hollis, Hurt, Sanders and
Glasscock. Some will support Wilson
instead Of Glasscock, and some will
throw off on Johnson. Some people
are predicting that the Saye ticket will
be elected entire with Glasscock as the
fourth man and others are predicting
that the Stewart ticket will be elected
entire, including Johnson. Still 9TH
ers guess that whether Saye or Stew
art be elected, there will be split in
the balance of the ticket.

see proper to sustain DR.. Saye's efforts

fear that it will be quite while before

direction
