SENATOR TILLMAN Is RIGHT.

Senator Tillman has called the at
tention Of the General Assembly to
an important matter in his sugges-
tions relative to the primary election
system in South Carolina. This
should receive attention at the pres
ent session, we believe. or course,
so far as the primary election rules
are concerned, that is much matter
with the State Democratic Executive
Committee, and in the main the rem
edy lies with them. But legislative
action, the fixing Of harsh penalties
for violations OF election laws, and
general measures safeguarding the
rights of the voting public. should
be attended to.
The primary system is, we believe,
doomed unless there shall be strong
legislation in the General Assembly,
and stronger work on the part Of the
Democratic Committee The primary
system as it exists to-day is 30 rot
thousands who believe in it strongly

for which it was deSigned-name

"A STITCH IN TIME"

1t is hardly necessary for us to
very appropriate at the present in
regard to local school conditions.
it frequently happens that the
ones in authority are the last to be
appriscd Of an unpleasant fact that
may be known by hundreds Of others,
and we presume that in this instance
the ones in whose power lies the
remedy are not aware OF certain
facts, or, if they are, that they have
not been impressed with the serious
ness of certain conditions that pre-
vail.
We have reference to the conditions
under which the smaller children
those being taught in Il building
away from the main SChOOl-are OBJ
The building and surroundings, if
half as bad as they have been re-
ported to us ever since the opening
OF the present session, are absolutely

are being used.
We suggest that the trustees take
up the matter at once and give it
careful consideration. We are not
detailing the unpleasant conditions
under which these small children are
being "schoolcd." but it might be
well to get the opinions OF those who
have charge of the teaching in this
building, as well as the parents OF
the children being taught there.
If, as we stated above, the condi-
tions are but One-half as bad as we
have been informed from various
sources that they are, something
should be done at once to relieve the
unpleasant situation.
Education is an important uues
ton, but 1t is not the only thing to be
considered. Health and hygiene
the latter, we believe, being taught ir
most OF the grades in the school
have (or should haVe) a place hardly

Voice Of the People
Suggests Avenue to Gtntcr Park.

To the Editor OF The Times Dispatch:
Sir,-Whilc the suburbs of Richmond
are outside the imaginary lines which
enclose the city proper. they are just
as much part OF the city a If within
those lines. The residents OF the sub
urhs work in the city. make their living
and spend their money there. and are
as much part and parcel of the city
as If actual residents.
Richmond has done wonders in it's
advancement. but there is one lire of
Improvement which has been wholly
neglected. and that is in the suitable
approaches 10 the suburbs Excepting
WcSthampton Boulevard, there is not Il
comfortable approach TO any of the
suburbs. Especially is this true of the
best suburb of Richmond-Gintcr Park.
THIS is a locality containing probably
200 families, who are in constant COM
munication with the city, and there is
no approach to Gintcr Park within
reasonable distance except to go down
Brook Avenue which is rough and
congcstcd that ii is absolutely unsafe
TO drive through either with automo-
pie or buSGN--unSafe for your vehicle
and unsafe for pedestrians. Why can't
the Council Of Ginter Park and the city
authorities get together and work out
a plan by which Chamberlayne Avenue
can be brought straight into the
city with Il bridge over the Scaboard
tracks. connecting with the most con
Nentcnt street. which could be paved
with smooth paving, and thus bring
This splendid suburb within easy access
of the city. 1t would be good for the
city and good for Gintcr Park. Can't
you agitatc the matter and get the
authorities OF the city and Gintcr Park
To get together upon Il fair basis and
put in this much needed Improvement?
