Most Wilmingtonians downtown are
wearing flags to-day. In doing so
they are not proclaiming their patriot

Darlington Wants Dispensary.

Darlington, Sept. 17.-Petitions
addressed to the county supervisor,
praying for an election on the ques-
ton of dispensary or no .dispensary,
are being circulated and freely signed
in this county. There are those who
profess to see in the recent election
returns in this county willingness
on the part of the people to abandon
what they term the "howling farce"
of prohibition, and return to some
saner way of regulating the sale OF
alcoholic drinks.
Some of the strongest anti-dispen-
sary men of former days are interest
ing themselves in behalf of the pres
ent effort to have a vote and, it is
said, that the petitions are being
more readily signed at this time than
when an effort was made, about two
years ago, to have an election on the
question. Messrs. A. G.. Kollock, T.
E. Sligh, George o. Lee, D. D. Wit
cover, c.. Alexander and others are
looking after the circulation Of the
petitions.

THE PRIMARY PLAN.
TGreenville Piedmont

Editor A. w. Knight, of the Bam-
berg Herald, thinks that unless the
primary Is reformed it is bound to
90. He declares that he believes that
it has about outlived it's usefulness
and he is ready to return to the con-
vention plan.
1--WE believe in changes in all
things" says he "The people get
too careless and Indifferent when
things are allowed to get in rut."
Beginning a very strong editorial
Mr.. Knight says:
"The editor of this newspaper has
no political axe to grind, but we are
of the opinion that the time is ripe
for stricter rules for the Democratic
primaries. 1t must be evident to
every intelligent man that our pri-
mary system rs conducted at present
gives too much room for fraud and
illegal voting, and while we do not
want any wtite man disfranchised,
we do think # a voter has not sufti-
cient patriotism to comply with
strict regulations he has only himself
to blar" ="
Continuing he declares:
"The ballot is a sacred right and
should be jealousy protected, but all
necessary safeguards should be
thrown around it. 1t seems to us
that unless our primary system is
reformed we may look for return
to the convention plan of nominating
candidates. To be entirely frank
about it, we believe the primary has
outlived it's usefulness. At the time
of it's Inauguration it was no doubt
wise, as conventions were possibly
being manipulated In the interest OF
the ring as it was called in those
days. But any system becomes cor
rupt, and we are free to say that we
believe better results would accrue in
this State were we to return to the
convention plan. Then when that
plan again becomes too easily con
trolled by a few men or is used to
thwart the will of the people, why re-
turn to the primary"

Carolina is more to us than the polit-
ical success of any man. But we are
free to say that unless there is a
change in the utterances and acts of
Mr.. Blease he will please his en-
emies as chief executive. However,
we hope for the best, and We are led
to the belief that there will be a
difference between Candidate Blease
and Governor Blease. He has the
opportunity to make record which
will do him credit if he but have the
grace and gumption to rise above par
tisanship and demagogism and keep
before him always the honor and
prosperity of his State.
He has ability and some Of his
ideas of government are good
others bad. Let him discard the bad
and cling to the good. For some
years he has been crying out against
excessive appropriations by the gen
eral assembly, which is we'll, and in
other matters We have agreed with
him and have not hesitated to say
so. Frankly we consider our State
government in bad way along
financial and taxation lines, and If
Mr.. Blease will DO something to re-
lieve the situation, or at least make
an honest and earnest effort to do so,
he will do we'll.
While most of the newspapers OF
South Carolina opposed his election,
we feel sure that as governor he will
be given a square deal by the press
generally. He will be commended or
condemned just as his work deserves.
He should remember that both his
words and acts will be watched, but
it is not what he says he will do
that counts but what he does as gov
ernor.

Negro Had Soft Skull.

Rock Hill, Sept. 19.-Walker Je-
ter, negro employed on J. NJ. Cher
rvs highway between this city and
the Catawba river, was hit on the
head with shovel by another negro
named Sam Hart, and his skull
crushed so badly that he died from
the effects Saturday night.
One of the negroes was driving
wagon Wednesday and met gentle
man in an automobile and possibly
did not give as much of the road as
the other negro thought he should
and he accosted him about it. After
considerable words Hart hit the 9th
er negro two blows with the shovel.
Coroner Louthian, Of Yorkvllle
held an inquest over the remains
here Saturday and they were after
wards buried. Hart made his escape
and up to this time has not been ap'
pretended.

WOUND PROBABLY FATAL.
Wife Of City Editor of Spartanburg
Herald Shoots Herself.

Spartanburg, Sept. 19.-Mrs. Max
Henrici, formerly Miss Ernestine
Vaughn of this city, wife of the city
editor of the Spartanburg Herald, in a
moment of dependency here to-day,
attempted to end Ler life by firing a
pistol ball into her breast. The ball
entered the body between the sixth
and seventh ribs of the right side,
ranged slightly downward penetrat-
ing the lungs and the liver, it's fur
ther course being undetermined at
this hour. She is at DR.. Stedley's 5
hospital tonight, where an operation
has been performed and X-ray photo
graphs have been taken in an effort
to locate the ball.
Mr.. and Mrs. Heinrich were married
here about six months ago and left
Immediately for New York, where Mr..
Henrici held position on the staff of
the New York Herald. Mrs. Henrici's
health was not good IN new foTK anu
few weeks ago she returned to the
home of her parents, Mr.. and Mrs. B.
J. Vaughan, of this city. To be with
his wife Mr.. Henrici resigned from
the New York Herald's staff and ac-
cepted position on The Herald here.
He is an exceedingly capable newspa-
per man and, though he has been in
Spartanburg only short while, has
made many friends.
No cause other than extreme ner-
vousness and momentary despond-
ency is assigned for the shooting.
The shooting occurred about 4
o'clock in her room at her parents
home. The pistol used was OF .3S
calibre and belonged to her father.

Dear little flower, We miss you,
No more your gentle voice we hear,
For death has taken you from us,
Over your grave we drop the silen'
tear.
No more we hear your laughter ring
Your footsteps, too, are silent now
Earth seems but lonely place,
AS the heart grieves to our loss We
bow.
All nature is hushed in sadness,
To loving hearts you've left behind
Dear little girl, too pure for earth,
Rest in peace in heaven you'll find.
So, cheer up, sad hearts of earth, .
She sings in a new and happy strain
For what we feel in this sad hour,
Is our loss but her eternal gain.

The citizens of the town of Brun-
son have organized company and
built a cotton warehouse. This is a
much smaller town than Bamberg,
and yet the citizens do things Bam-

Bamberg needs a cotton warehouse
and needs it badly, but it will never
be built unless our business men
wake up and take some interest in
the prosperity of the town.

When he went home the other
night Mr.. Blease made a speech to
the people of Newberry, in which ne
is quoted as saying: ITO you boys
of Ward 5 in Newberry owe all that
am to-day" We notice in the same
issue of the Newberry paper that
Hub Evans carried Ward 5 in the
second primary against DR.. c. I.
Wyche by vote of 1872 to 4S, both
being candidates for the house OF
representatives. So it seems that
the boys of Ward have other
friends besides Mr.. Blease.

Blease in the first primary so as to
keep Mcleod out of the Sec

was enough of it done, Blease was
made governor by Featherstone'E

true, and we only mention it to show
what goes on in political circles. But
if it is true Mr.. Blease should be
