TOM WATSON
DEMOCRAT?
Uses New English and
Causes Many Grins
From Politicians
and Purists.

atlanta, Jan. 6.-Professors.
politicians and purists are alike
raising their eyebrows and then
grinning over a big editorial head
line from the pen of Thomas E.
Watson in the latest issue of his
Jeffersonian. Here it is:
What Did 1 Tell You About
We DemocratsW
The professors are wondering
over it because the grammars say
it should be about us demo-
Gratis" yet Thomas E. Watson is
a greater literary light and is
generally accredited with writing
finer English than any of the
professors. The purists are puz-
zled for the same reason. They
say that about we democrats"
is a glaring grammatical error
that can't be made right even by
being used by the author of
Napoleon" and the History of
France"
AS for the politicians, they
don't give dern about grammar,
but it is identically the same
phrase that made them sit up
and take notice. They question
is not the grammatical but the
political correctness of the phase
about we democrats" when it
is used by Thomas E. Watson.
They refuse to forget the facility
with which Mr.. Watson has bolt
ed from the ranks of I'VE demo-
Gratis" on several occasions, and
notably in his recent refusal to
support the national presidential
nominee of the democratic party.

CLAFLIN BUILDING
BURNED THURSDAY
Was Supported by North
ern MethOdists.

Orangeburg special in the
News and Courier of January 9.
The main building of Clafiin
University, with most of it's con-
tents. was destroyed by fire to-
day. The alarm was sent in
shortly before noon, but had
gained such headway before dis
covery that the efforts of the fire
department availed nothing. A
large number of students occu-
pied the building, and only a
small part of their belongings
was saved. These students can
probably be housed without much
difficulty.
The burned building was val
ued at about $100,OOO and it is
stated the insurance carried was
$50, 600 on building and $5, 600 on
contents. DR.. L. M. Dunton,
president of the institution. an
nounced that the structure will
be replaced as soon as possible.
Clafin University is supported
by the Northern Methodist
church.

ROWDY FIRES GUN
AS PEOPLE PRAY
Retreats to Border Lands
of South Carolina.

The congregation at Trinity
church, in Buford township, had
a novel experience during their
service last Sunday afternoon.
They jumped up from their knees
OF prayer and ran out and arrest
ed a man who was turning loose
outside with a shotgun. 1t is
said that on one occasion, a
Quaker, who had been conscrip-
ted into the army, refused to
fight in the battle till a bullet
came along and took off his ear,
whereupon he declared that if
the Lord would not protect him,
ne would take a gun and protect
himself.
That was somewhat the way it
was with the Trinity people. If
nobody else would make a rowdy
behave while they prayed they
decided to jump up and go do it
themselves. One Will Stack came
up from South Carolina, drink
ing, with an automatic shotgun
In mis- buggy. Squire j. C. Laney
and others cautioned him that he
must behave on the church
grounds or go off, and he said
nobody on earth C.uld arrest
him. Afterwards when the con-
gregation was at prayer, he went
up near the building and doomed
his cannon off a few times. Ev-
erybody jumped up, not knowing
whether he had shot into the
house or not. Squire Laney, ex-
ercising his right and duty as a
magistrate, ordered the men to
GO out and arrest Stack. By the
time they got out he had sue
ceeded In getting in his buggy
and began a retreat to the border
lands of South Carolina. He had
q noted character Of the neigh
borhood, Poll Belk, in the buggy
with him, and they went for the
State line. Messrs. Will Rorie,
Bud Funderburk, Calvin Laney,
and others, went in pursuit.
Stack turned loose his shotgun
on them whenever he caught
sight of them, so much so that
he said, after being caught, that
he had fired seventy rounds from
his automatic shotgun. They
picked up some arms on the way,

OouCn CarOllna, When 1t meets
again in Convention, will no
doubt deal with this question,
but the Legislature ought to
deal with it now, at this coming
session, while the memory is
fresh and knowledge of intensity
of feeling has not faded away.
L cannot and will not indicate
just what sort of a law the Leg
islature ought to pass. The de-
tails must be worked out in COM
mittee, but / can and will outline
the general policy which should
govern us in this crisis:
First: The primary ought to
be honest and fair and above all
suspicioR
Second: No man ought to OBJ
ject to whatever expense and
trouble are necessary to secure
such registration and preparation
of the Democratic club rolls as
will insure honesty and fair play.
1t must not be left to hazard and
guess work.
Third: Stringent rules and
regulations are required. No man
should participate in the primary
to nominate, who is not willing
and able to stand the test of reg
istration to participate in the
general election.
THE rules should be few, plain
and simple, but they must be en-.
acted into law in order to compel
compliance with them. Rigid
punishment ought to be provided
for any man who neglects to
comply with all conditions and
rules or he ought to lose his vote.
An honest and fairly conducted
primary can and will command
the endorsement and support of
all right-thinking white people;
a dishonest one will command the
support of nobody.
I'VE must either reform the
primary system by law or see it
die. No decent man will object
or resist the rule of the majority
fairly expressed. Let us see to
it that none but duly qualified
citizens vote at the Democratic
primary, and danger of trouble
will disappear. If we do not
safeguard the primary system
and make it above suspicion good
government in the State is
doomed. We want no man in
the Democratic primary who
votes the Republican or other ma
tional ticket in the general elec-
ton.
Il write the above believing
that | will never ask the people
to vote for me in another pri-
mary, because l believe l will be
dead before another Senator 20
succeed me is elected. There
fore, no charge of selfish or. per-
sonal motive can be justly made
against me taking the position
do. 1t is solely because | know
the danger, having passed
through the crisis once, that
make bold to write this way. -

REFORM BY
LAW URGED
Senator Tillman Advises
Legislature to Safe
guard Primary
System.

I've must either reform the
primary system by law or see it
die," warns Senator Benjamin
Ryan Tillman, in an open letter
to the South Carolina General
Assembly, soon to meet, in which
it is urged that legislation be en-
acted to safeguard the primary
system of election in this State.
Il dislike to have the appear
ance even of assuming the right
to dictate to the General Assem-
bly,, and such is not my purpose
now. But for reasons unneces-
'sary to enumerate l feel that l
have a duty to perform in the
present instance.
The angry passions aroused
last summer in the State cam
paign for Governor have in a
measure subsided, and the peo-
pie have cooled off. To my nina
there was great danger to white
supremacy and Democratic unity
which is now happily passed.
But unless every possible safe
guard is thrown around the pri-
mary system, by law, rules and
regulations made 80 plain and of
such a just and reasonable ma
ture as to compel honesty and
fair play in the primary-the
system is doomed and the people
of the State will settle their po-
litical differences at the polls in
November just as they do now
in all border and Northern States.
There are many people in
South Carolina who would be
glad to see two white parties in
the State. Were conditions diff
ferent / myself would like to have
two white parties, but as things
are now it would mean the mo-
bilization of the negro and his
active and aggressive return to
State politics under white leader
ship.
Il know of no calamity great
er than this that could overtake
our people. / speak advisedly,
for / went through the recon-
struction period and know the
! degradation to which our people
sank, the rottenness and corrup-
ton that were in our politics, and
made our Government a by-word
and kissing, and l know how
hard it was to get the white men
to lineup shoulder to shoulder
and throw off the yoke. From
1858 to 1876 we had the vilest
and most corrupt Government
in South Carolina that has ever
existed In any State OF the Union,
except Louisiana.
THE negroes outnumber US in
South Carolina by more than one
hundred and fifty thousand, and
large number of them are eth
er registered or eligible for regis
tration. If they should ever be
modified and led to the polls by
white men, in the struggle for
mastery and control, then we can
never save the State from rep
etition of even greater corruption
than we have already endured.
The State corporations and Stand
ard Oil, to say nothing of the
railroads, would use money law
ishly, and the Governorship and
the United States Senatorships,
to say nothing of the Congress
sional delegation, would become
pawns in the game of politics to
be bought by the highest bidders.
