successful there was a silence on
it's part, we refer to the election
of Governor Hayward. When he
was chosen Governor in the pri-
mary The State did not cry out
fraud, nor did it complain of the
primary system, the same when
Governor Ansel vas chosen, but
when it developed that a candi,
date was selected by the system
who was obnoxious to The State
it would raise a storm of dissen-
sion, and it would oe followed by
the little weeklies which get
their doctrine from The State.
Had Judge Jones been de,
clared the nominee of the party
We would not have heard the
cry Of fraud from our Columbia
contemporary, but on the con-
trary it would have spoken in
high praise of the wisdom Of the
people in making such a selec-
ton. All Of this noise about
frauds in the primary is for pol
itical effect, and there is nothing
to it. The complaint comes
from the disappointed-it is a
salve to their wounds.
The State can amend the rules
so as to prevent repeating by
requiring that the voters shall
only be eligible to vote in the
townships in which they reside,
and that there shall be only one
club in a township; if this is done
the whole trouble is fixed. But
we do not think the legislature
should undertake to legislate
rules for a political party organ
ization any more than it should
legisiate rules to govern social
or fraternal organization,

PUBLISHED EVERY WEDNESDAY
TIE PRIMARY SYSTEM.

The recent contribution to the
press by Senator Tillman relat
ing to the reforming of the pri-
mary system would have been
more effective had the senator
given some feasible scheme plan
by which the primary system
can be reformed without taking
away from a large number of
white men their right to voice
in the government, and too, with
ont placing inconvenient obstruc-
tions in the way of voting.
The primary system in South
Carolina is somewhat lax it is
true, but we do not believe there
is as much fraud as the disap-
pointed would declare; however,
We do not believe there will be
objection to amending the rules
of the party, but this should be
done by the party convention.
and not by the general assembly.
The primary system is not re-
quired by the law, it is wholely
a party regulation, the same as
the regulation of a fraternal Or
ganization or a business corpor-
alton, and it is our opinion that
when the legislature undertakes
to fix by law how voters should
vote or who should have the
right to vote in a party primary
it is going beyond its authority
and if tested before the final
court would so be declared. The
party convention alone has the
authority to make rules and reg
ulations, and the only province
of the general assembly is to
make laws for the protection of
the regulations made by the party
organization. "
We ask what right would che
legislature have to say the Re.
publican, Socialist Or Progress.
sive or Prohibition parties that
they shall nominate their candi-
dates by the primary SYSTEM?
How could thegeneral assembly
enforce a law which required a
party to so nominate: But it.
enact a law and enforce it to pre-
vent frauds or bribery, cheating
etc.
Senator Tillman had much to
do with the present primary
system and was a recipient of
its benefits, and now that he
does not expect to again be u!
candidate for Office he wants to
change the system on the lines
often advocated bv those who !
have always been opposed to
the masses having a voice in the !
selection of officers. The State
of Columb bia has been clamoring
for a change in the system for
years. but when it's choice was

Deafness Cannot be Cured

by IocalappIlcatlons as they cannot reach the
diseased portion OF the ear. There is only one
way to cure deafness. and that is by conStitu
tional remedies. Deafness is caused by an in
famed condition Of the mucous lining OF the
EuStachian Tube. When this tube gets ini;an-
ed you have 4 rumbiing SouId or imperfect hear
ing, and when it is entirely closed deafness is
the result. and unless the inflammation can be
taken out and this tube restored TO its normal
condition. hearing will be destroyed forever: nine
cases out Of ten are caused by catarrh. which is
nothing but an inhanled condition OF the nu-
couS surfaces.
We will give One hundred Dollars for any
case Of Deafness (cauSed by catarrh) that can
not be cured by Halls Catarrh Cure. Send Tor

FOR ATTEMPTING
To PETITION KING
Five English Suttragettes Are
Sent to Prison.

London, March 12.-The five suffra
gettes who attempted to reach the
king with petitions while he was on
his way to parliament were sent to
prison for periods ranging from TWEEN
ty-one days to month.
The five young women gave their
names as Lillian Wilcox, Dorothy
Smith, Kathleen Paget, Gertrude
Vaughan and Grace Stuart
The Bow street magistrate, before
whom they were arraigned, gave them
an opportunity of escaping prison sen
tences by filing sureties for their fu
ture good behavior The young won.
en- Indignantly rejected this alterna
tive.
They were formally charged with
obstructing the police. The evidence
showed that the police had received
specific orders to prevent any one from
throwing letter or petition to the
king while he was on the way to par.
lament.
The accused argued that their ac-
tion was perfectly legal and was based
on the right OF every British subject
to present petition to the king. The
magistrate explained that the right to
present a petition to his majesty must
be exercised through minister
