CITIZENS AND COMMITTEEMEN.

Since the above were
written. immediate plans have been
somewhat changed i'm tho matter OF
investigation into election mattcrs;
and We believe that Chairman Stew
cnSon has taken the proper view Of
the situation. He feels that a meet
ing to-day would be but Il loss OF
time, since, to Il great extent, no real
information on the case could be
submitted. In this case the pOll
lists and club liats constitute the
source from which the greatest bulk
OF Irregularities and fraud must
come, and these could not be avail
able to the subcommittee to-day.
For convenience in handling these
cumbersome matters relating to the
primary Of the eth the state has
been divided into two districts, with
the Southern railway from Charlotte,
via Columbia to Charleston the divid-
ing line. \ special subcommittee,
composed OF w. -. Wilson. chair
man, j. ID. BivcnS and Il. NJ. Jcffrics.
Is appointed to secure tho club rolls
and poll lists and investigate all evil
dcnccS OF crOokcdncSS east OF the
dividing line and including the cOun-
ties through which the line passes.
and }. b. Parks, chairman, +. b. But
Ter and j. NJ. Gricr are appointed
me lbcrs OF a similar committee to
take charge Of the rest OF the State.
Concluding his call to the citizens
Of the State to aid in clearing M the
matters in hand. Chairman Stevenson
says:
1.-The work will require a strong
lorcc OF clerks to check and arrange
malterS, hcaNy expense to copy club
rolls II investigate charges OF
cr00k@dness. The work to be done
Is arduous and d~iSagrccable. Il is
your work, undertaken at your com.
mand and under circumstances which
demand 1t for the integrity OF the
primary system. Hence you should
give us your support in the matte,
above named and with tho cash nee
esSary to do the work at once. TN,
meeting announced for Wednesday
September II, Is premature. w,

INVESTIGATION BEGUN.

The special committee Of the state
Democratic Executive Committee has
begun the real work Of sitting he re-
cent primary election fraud charges.
The executive committee As a whole
found sufficient indications Of fraud,
or gross irregularities pointing to
fraud possibilities, to institute rigid
inquiry into the manne Of conduct
OF the urinary Of August eth.
TO THIS committee the people Of
the State are looking for valuable re-
suits. We believe that their inquiry
will be conducted along lines abso-
lutcly devoid Of partisanship. and
with an eye single to purifying the
primary system both for the present
and the future.
That the result Of this investiga-
ton is OF great Importance is appar
ent. The party to-day Is divided in
thought and in effort, and there is
no hope Of reunion until steps are
taken to purify the primary system
OF selecting party nominees. The
irregularities that exist are but the
natural Outgrowth OF lax and Slip
shod methods. The very laxity of
the primary system in South Carolina
is such as to invite fraud, and we be-
lieve that year by year this condition
has been taken advantage of to the
great detriment not only OF the Dem
ocratic party. but to the State itself.
The future Of our States Democ-
racy depends upon the outcome OF
the Investigation now begun. Time
was when duplicate and triplicate
voting was q necessity to rid the
State OF misrule, but it has no place
in the present.
There is no doubt but that other
""'itinal parties are Watching events
