IT WILL BE A FLAT AFFAIR.

Should the State Executive
Committee decide to call for the
primary to select the attorney
general it will be one contest that
will bring forth very little inter
est, and it is going to be hard to
get managers to sacrifice the
time in the midst Of the busy sea-
son to hold an election. The
more we think of the action of
the committee in calling off the
primary the more are we con-
vinced that the several county
committees should have ignored
the State committee and gone
ahead as if the committee had
not stopped them Had this ac-
ton been taken in every county
in the State either Lyon or Pee
bles would now be the nominee
for the Office Of attorney general
and the entire State ticket would
be complete, as it is, the unlaw-
full interference Of the State COM
mittee has put this Office into a
primary which IS to be called not
not by the Democratic party but
by a coterie of men. who have no
more authority to cali a primary
than has the King Of Persla-it
IS fixed by the constitution
and the rules. If the prl-
mary is called the candidate
who can secure the support
Of the towns and cities will be
nominated, the country vote will
not be expressed, and we doubt
if there will be one fourth Of the
votes cast, at amy rate there will
be no interest in the contest as
most people do not care much
who IS elected asIorney general,
unless the idea gets abroad that
the action Of the committee was
to save a favorite, in that case
the turn out will be strong and
there will be-. considerable inter
est taken.

RHAME HOLDS BIS JOB.

The supreme court by ma
jority spote decided the State
Bank examiner case in favor of
B.. J. Rhame whom the governor
dismissed on the charge of neg
lect of duty. We have read the
decision of these Judges and to
our'mind the question is compli.
Gated, the law is evidently not as
it should be, but there is this
much about such Judges as
Watts and Gage held a contrary
view from the majority of the
court which in this case was COM
posed of the entire judiciary of
the State. In other words the
Judges got together and took a
primary the majority being in
favor of letting Mr.. Rhame keep
his job, and proclaimed tn 8
Governor without authority 20
remove him Notwithstanding the
Office is appointlve. To the lay
man mind if a Governor is with
out authority to remove an ap,
pointive officer when in his judg
ment the public service requires
it the law is defective and should
be remedied. Our understand
was that all appointive officers
were subject to removal for
cause and the Governor was the
Judge of that cause the same as
a Judge is the sole ju d g e
Of a contempt of his court,
but "these be record breaking
tlmes," and it would not surprise
US in the least to learn of this
very decision being reversed by
the same court, however, until
the court reverses itself, which
it has done in the past, the de-
cision stands as the law of this
State. Judges Watts and Gage
are two of the strongest on the
bench, neither of them partisans
Of the Governor, but they take
the position the Governor was
within his legal rights when he
dismissed Mr.. Rhame the Bank
Examiner for what he regarded
a neglect of duty in the matter
of the failure of the bank at Lex
ington whereby the State, the
county and individuals lost a
whole lot of money.

WHO IS PUTTING UP The COIN ?

According to the newspaper
stories that were sent out by the
correspondents ''Dictagra p h
Reed" of the Burns detective
agency the sleuth who got up
the famous testimony for the in
vestlgating committee which met
at Augusta, Ga., has been EN-
ployed by somebody to work IN
the South Carolina primary case.
We nos know whose money is
paying for the detective IRON
Chicago to meddle With the
affairs Of the white people OF
this State. but we will venture
the assertion that those whose
money Reed is taking do not
get out of the pockets Of the
individuals the returns Of the
primary show to have received a
majority of the votes. 1t cost q
whole lot of money to hire de-
tectives, a majority of them are
not to be taken seriously, because
as a rule they are out for the
money and will give the service
those who employ them want
The question naturally arises is
where does the money from tx
Fay the detectives?

NO BULL MOOSE HERE.

This tommy rot about the
Bull Moose party watching for a
split in the Democracy in this
State so it can step in to make a
deal with Blease is ouly given
out to fill space for some news
paper reporters who can find
nothing else to feed their read
upon. We believe the time is
not far off when there will be
two parties in the State but it
will come when the conditions
are normal, not at a time when
both factions are determined to
hold to party regularity, If the
State executive committee was
to arbitrarily take advantage of
it's partisan majority and defeat
the will of the people by throw
out a sufficient number OF votes
to declare Judge Jones the nom.
inee, or if it was to claim it dis.
covered enough evidence of fraud
to declare the August primary
void, in either case the majority
would go right on to the ballot
box in November and confirm
the primary and the Executive
would be repudiated, and every
member of the committee who
would vote for the disregarding OF
the peoples declaration in August
will be repudiated fore 'ermore.
The people will take care OF
their nominee, and they will also
take care Of the party so that
the Bull Moose nor the Black
Elephant can find quarter here
this year.

umbia correspondent. W. +.

UNION TO HAVE AN ELECTION

There is to be an election in
Union county on the dispensary
question in Novem Der, and the
outcome will be awaited with IN
terest. Once before there was
an election in that county and
those favoring the dispensary
won, but there was some conten-
ton about it, and both sides came
TO an agreement to call that elec-
ton off, with the understanding
there should be an election this
year. How it will result only
the votes on election day will
tell, because there are many who
oppose the sale of intoxicants
that are not satisfied with the
practicability Of being able to
enforce the law. and because of
this they believe it is in the in
terests of law and order to have
a legal sale. Should Union re-

WHAT'S THE DIFFERENCE

There is much speculation be-
ing indulged in as to how the
legislature will stand next jan
uary, the opposition to the pres
ent chief executive claim the
senate by a two-thirds majority,
and the house by good work
ing majority. Granting these
calculations are correct it does
not make any difference. those
who were elected to the general
assembly were not sent there to
.be personal partisans, and when
the general assembly is organ
zed we hope the partisan feeling
will have disappeared, and the
whole body will do its work as
if there had been no division.
It would be most unfortunate
did this coming general assembly
re-enact the scenes of last year,
when both factions lost sight OF
the masses and sought political
advantage; the fight is over now
and the members Of the general
assembly will devote their time
to the interests Of the masses
and leave politics for the future
conventions and primary. There
fore we say we can not see what
the advantage is in having a
majority of this or that mans
supporters, nor can we see any
good to be derived from agitat
ing this question at this time,
especially when the people are
uncertain as to what the out
come of the investigation will be,
and before the formal election IN
November.

If. as some think the commit
tee will declare there has been
no primary on the 9th Of Aug
ust, this declaration must of ne
cessity be close upon the time
txed BY law for the general elec-
ton: too late for primary, IN
such a case, two tickets for all
Offices vii! be inevitable. Then
there will be more embarrassment
because, the probability the de-
feated candidates will seek the
courts and keep the elections tied
up. Should such a contingency
arise every congressman's seat
will be in jeopardy, and too, the
electoral ticket might get mixed
up in the courts before matters
become settled. There is great
danger in this delay.

dence in the integrity of their
acts. The committee has done
more, it has converted itself into
a body of detectives to go out to
find such evidence as 1t desired
which will back up the conten-
ton of Judge Jones: instead OF
acting in the capacity of an un-
biased court. it has shown by It's
every act that it is prejudiced
and a partisan body. but if its
decision does not conform to the
already expressed wishes of the
people, it will have no other ef.
feet than to force the choice of
the masses to be voted for in the
general election without the sane
ton of the committee.

TIE VOTE NOT EXCESSIVE.

# the Director of the United
States Census, E. Dana Durand,
has his records correct there was
in South Carolina in 1910 165,7 ,769
white males of voting age, and
estimating the probable increase
based upon the increases Of for
mer decades, the census is taken
every ten years, there is now in
this State 174,0O0 white males of
voting age.
The newspapers made great
ado about the tremendous vote
in the primary on the 9th of
August, and charged that the
ballot boxes were stuffed, and the
election was teeming with fraud,
this charge they made notwith-
standing their own side had con-
troll of the election, but how they
can have the face to continue the
charge that 100000 cast in the
primary is excessive after get
ting the information from the
Federal Government that there
are about ia, 900 white males Of
voting age in the State we can
not understand.
When the vote was first an
nounced showing about 40, 900
we thought it was excessive also,
because it was so much larger
than any former vote had in the
State, but then we knew the vote
would be large because of the
intense interest which was Great
ed, the determination of both
sides, and the vast amount of
money which was spent through
out the State to bring out a rec
ord breaking vote, at the same
