Cook Without Pans.

A missionary in an account Of life
in the South Pacific says: The prob
lem Of cooking without pots or pans
is already proved. The natives OF the
South Pacific cook their food In a hole
in the ground, a wood fire being made
at the bottom and covered with stones
On these the food is placed. wrapped
in leaves, and the whole covered with
earth. The result is delicious. When
cooked the food is served on leaves.

THE GAS PLANT WORK,

Mr.. G. Irving Pollitt, president Of
the Baltimore Utilities Company. and
one of the chief owners in the Sumter
Gas Company, arrived in town Sat
urday morning to look after the work
OF installing the plant and other af-
fairs connected with the new enter
prise.
The work at this time is going on
steadily, although not with great ra-
pidity. 1t is expected that the steam
ditcher will be here in the next ten
days or two weeks when the work of
installing the pipe lines will be much
expedited. AT present the old foun-
dation for the gas holder has been
dug away and new foundation will
be laid this week
A carload Of the plates for the gas
tank has arrived and the riveters
are expected at any time to begin
putting the tank together. Other
work towards the establishment of
necessary buildings at the plant is al
so going on.

AN INTERESTING RACE.
L.. "A. Moore and X. III. Singlctary.
Candidates for Clerk Of Court I'm
Lee County, to Run Over.

After nearly an all day session the
County Executive Committee after
hearing argument on both sides by
distinguished counsel. decided that
the candidates for Clerk of Court
must make the second race.
The protest at first was made UNI
der six objections or heads, but after
being boiled down was reduced to two,
viz. allowing aliens not qualified, to
vote and negroes not complying with
rules of Democratic primary. One
OF the managers Of election, Mr.. j.
Manly Smith, was put on the stand
and stated that although they had
the rules of the primary on the table
by the ballot boxes. yet he had never
read them and doubt if the other
managers had. for they did not know
that a negro. before he could vote
must present an affidavit from ten
white men of good standing that they
know that he had voted for Hampton
In &c and had voted the Democratic
ticket ever since.
Hon. Mendel Smith of Camden
made it clear and convincing that the
election law had been violated, not
through fraud. but by not posting
themselves on the rules and allowing
the irregularities complained Of,
While on the other hand, the counsel
for defence, Messrs. Thos. G. Nc
Leod and l.. d. Jennings, of Sumter,
In arguments clear and forceful,
pointed out that there was no fraud
nor intention of fraud. and inasmuch
as the negroes in question had at pre-
vious elections voted in similar man.
ner and no question was raised as to
their qualification to vote, the man
ayers had only followed precedent Of
former primries. But they argued,
suppose the votes Of the two aliens.
Otto Slesenger and Frank Katz and
+. j. Fisher, the negro, who ac-
knowledged that he had never voted
for Hampton but had voted the DEM
ocratic ticket for four years, thrown
out. that would still leave Mr.. Sim
gletary one vote ahead
The committee then retired into
private session and after celebrating
nearly one hour decided that in order
to vindicate and uphold the rules of
the primary and to be fair to all. the
candidates for Clerk Of Court, Messrs.
l.. A. Moore and r. II. Singletary
should run over In second primary
and so ordered.-Bishopvill Vindica-
tor.

Monday morning that this was a mis-

IL Is generally believed that the re-
cent primary was landed by fraud.
Gov. Blease makes the direct charge
that there were wholesale frauds;
Judge Jones has protested the elec-
uon, charging that IL was fraudulent.
The preliminary investigations that
nave been made In Anderson, Spar
tanburg. Aiken and few other coun-
ties under the direction OF the coun-
y executive committees have estab-
hshed the fact that the charges are
well founded and that thorough and
impartial investigation should be
made. The issue now Is not the nomi-
nation OF Blease or Jones but the
ascertainment of the places where the
frauds were pcrpetrated. the detection
OF the guilty parties and their punish
ment. This appears to have been
the view the State Executive Commit,
tee took of the matter and the fact
that State Chairman Evans In ap-
pointing the committee of seven TO
make the Investigation gave Blease
and Jones equal representation indi-
Gates that a fair and impartial in
vestigation Is the end sought Meth
er Blease nor Jones can Justly com
plain OF an impartial investigation,
nor can they object to the investiga-
hon on any grounds after having
charged that frauds were committed.
Having made these charges they are
bound to render the committee what
ever assistance they can to ascertain
the facts. With these charges of
fraud formally before 1t the commit
tee could not shirk the responsibility
OF making the investigation. in fact
there was nothing for the committee
to do but order thorough investiga-
hon. unless IL wished to place itself
IN the attitude OF saying that 1t made
no dinerence IL there were frauds in
all the counties. To have declared
the election on the face of the re-
turns without taking cognizance of the
charges would have been equivalent
TO admitting that fraud was an ex-
peeted incident to the primary and
not worth considering. The wide
spread. and apparently well-founded
belief that fraud was committed. the
charges preferred by both Blease and
Js res. and the specific insta noes of
fraud In Anderson. Spartanburg and
Aiken counties brought to light by the
county executive committees. made II
imperetive that the State Executive
committee order a thorough investi-
CATION OF the whole matter. There
fore the adoption OF the resolution
offered by Mr.. Manning was the iogi-
cal thing To do. The next thing after
the inv estigation Is the prosecution OF
every man found To have been guilty

done IL will prove that those in
