How "a. b." Helped.

In saying that "Tillman brought about the
open primary" the Greenville Daily News not
only misstates the facts of history but robs
itself of credit for its own important part in
the most far-reaching political movement of
the last third OF century In South Carolina.
II it will take the trouble to consult its files
OF the decade between 1880 and 1890 when
Alfred B. Williams the editor, II will find
that long in advance of Tillman, the Green
Vile Daily News and group OF influential and
able leaders of its county and the Piedmont
district prepared the way for the open pri-
mary and, indeed, succeeded In having it
adopted in congressional and judicial districts
before Captain Tillman became candidate
for public Office. Such men Mr.. Williams
W. l.. Gray of Laurens, the late James l.. Orr
the late Edward b. Murray of Anderson, the
late w. l.. Mauldn and the late William n
Perry had far more influence In pressing the
adoption of the primary system the State
than Captain Tillman. Captain Tillman was
fearful OF the results of the primary as affect
ing his own political success and allowed it's
adoption to be postponed by his partisans and

Prodding the state Fair.

The Ministerial association of Richmond is
making a fight against the sale OF liquor this
year at the State fair. The matter win be de-
eded at meeting of the fair board on Octo-
Der lst. and in behalf of the board ii is said
that to cut out the bars will entail loss on
the fair of $1,000.
No doubt the owners of the bars would be
willing to pay the entire expense of running
the fair If they could not otherwise get the
privilege of selling liquor on the grounds; but
is that any reason for trading with them? If
Richmond wants fair Richmond is the
chief beneficiary from a monetary standpoint,
why cannot Richmond pay this extra $1,000
and run clean fair?
But cutting out liquor, the fair will have
the ungrudging support of the whole State
and of all classes of citizens This ought to
be worth the additional s5,000.--Exchange.

THE OYSTER
An Important Step.

The oyster Is toe fine an article OF food
and too great an actual and potential financial
asset either to be polluted or to be slandered
The organization of the joint Maryland and
Virginia Oyster commission. of which Con-
gresham Parran Is chairman, to Investigate
the alleged pollution Of the Potomac river
is a step of the highest importance from the
standpoint of both health and business. There
have been complaints from time to time of
the contamination Of the oysters in New York
Bay and other contiguous sections, but the
Maryland oyster has been above suspicion
and is So in general. still The allegation
that certain oyster beds in the Potomac have
been contaminated is to be made the subject
of investigation by United States experts and
the governors of Maryland and Virginia each
Is expected to appoint a bacterioiogist and d
chemist to make Independent inquiry.
1t goes without saying that such charge
should not be made except after the most
careful study and experiment The Maryland
and Virginia oyster industry represents Il food
value OF the first rank, as well millions of
capital and thousands of aborers. But it is
equally true. on the other hand that there
should be no mere prudential silence on the
subject in order to protect financial and indSs-
trial interests. The truth never hurts in the
long run. and the Maryland and Virginia oys-
ter trade will not suffer by this investigation.
The government report as to the oysters in
the particular section of the Potomac mention
ed may have been entirely upjustified II will
be advantage however. to the people inter
ested to official vndcation and a
clean bill OF health If the report is shown
to be we'll founded it will afford them an
opportunity to adopt such measures Will
remove the
In point of fact. the growing importance Of
the oyster industry demands everything and
from all interested in It increased vigilance to
protect the product from impurity. We cannot
afford to take any chances any risks, and
any which be devised to that end
should be welcomed Extraordinary precau-
tons were taken with Baltimore's sewerage
filtration plant with the special purpose of
protecting our oysters, and If other conmuni-
ties would do the thing, there would
be absolutely danger OF contamination
