than the fraud and trickery of these conventions, and instance after in stance has shown that they are not intended to express the will of the people, but to cheat and misrep- resent the people. As one writer has said: Tn the national conyen- tion, the people believe. are gathered the political bosses from all parts of the country. not to seek the country's best interests. nor to carry out the wishes of their constit- uents, but to play at the dirty game of politics. to struggle for the spells of office for themselves and their henchmen, to scheme and plan. to swap and trade and log roll. with the votes of the state del egations as their chief stock in trade. And back of it all and in it all, they believe, as the chief wire -pullers, stand the representatives of Big Business, ever alert for an oppor- tunity to advance their own inter. ests.''
 The worst thing about the conven- ton is some of It's rules. There is the unit rule" for instance. also the "two-thirds" rule, still retained by the Democratic party though long since thrown away by the Republi- cans. The unit rule is directly in- tended to crush individual prefer ence and give trading capital to the boss. As for the "two-thirds rule" it's inevitable result is to defeat the will of the majority. Senator Benton, in his Thirty Years View" quotes Calhoun's attack on the convention system, and then adds:
 One other objection to these de- generate conventions MT Calhoun did not mention, but it has become since he made his address a promi- nent one, and an abuse in itself, which insures success to the train band of mercenaries whose profli- gate practices he so well describes This is the two-thirds rule. as 1t is called; the rule that requires a vote of two-thirds of the convention to make a nomination. This puts it in the power of the minority to govern the majority. and enables few veteran intrigners to manage as they please"-Ex.

THE CONVENTION FAKE.

It is most probable that after this campaign there will never be ancth- CT president nominated by the con- vention system as it exists now. The dislike and distrust of the plan has grown acute of late, and not only have many states called spec ial sessions of the legislature to adopt presidential primary laws, but Senator Cummins has introduced a bill for national primary law that seems certain of passage.
 Nothing has become more plain

beer in this city, when he ordered
dissolved temporary injunction against
the city interfering with the sale of
that fluid. The city of Newberry was
also freed from the injunction order
at the same time. The order means
that If the sale of any kind of near

entire time Of the court was taken up
with the trial of the two suits of $780,
600 each against the Clinton cotton
mill brought by Mrs. Mamie Tucker
for the death by drowning of her two
little boys in the mill pond. The first
suit, in which came the trial for dam
ages for the death of Roy Tucker Who
jumped into the pond to save his
smaller brother and who was drowned,
a mistrial resulted. In the second suit,
where damages were asked for the
death of Thomas Tucker, the smaller
of the two children who fell into the
pond verdict of $500 was rendered
neither side were satisfied with the
verdict of the jury. The attorneys for
the plaintiff thought the verdict too
little and the attorneys for the defend
ant thought that the plaintiff should
not have received anything at all. Both
sides, therefore, appealed for n new
trial and it was granted. Messrs. Can
non and Blackwell represented the
plaintiff, while Mr.. f. p. MCGOWAN
and Richey e Richey represented the
defendants.
