PUT 'EM OUT OPENLY.

The Postmaster at Macon. Ga.
has been invited to resign. but
| he declines to accede to the re-
quest, and says that the Presi-
dent will have to remove him if
the position is desired. The ad
ministration does not seem to
regard its announced policy Of
not removing an official until his
commission expires unless there
are charges proven: it is because
OF this declared policy that sev-
eral post,nasters and district at
, tornies have refused to send in
their designations when request
ed so to do by the Postmaster
General and the Attorney Gen,
eral. But it seems to us these
officials are not in L position to
make such a controversy sue
cessful, because if it is the pur
pose Of the administration to
turn those out who are holding
commissions from the former ad.
ministration, regardless whether
they be Republicans or Demo
Gratis. there Is no use to kick
against the pricks. and they may
as we'll comply with the request
to resign. Now in a case like
that Of Mrs. Longstrcct where
charges We're lodged with the
department and she was rcmov.
ed as a result of the charges, it
is different, in that case her in
tegrity was involved, she did
right in forcing an investigation:
and she proved concluSively to1
the senate committee that the
charges were false, thus saving
her good name: we were Under
the impression that Mrs. Long

A NEW REGISTRATION LAW NEEDED.

We are of the opinion that the
general assembly should, at its
next session repeal the present
registration law, and enact a
new one altogether. This would
do away with the complicated
books we have now. and from
which it is q practical impossl-
billity to ascertain anything like
a correct idea OF the number Of
voters there are in a county.
This condition is giving Il mum
bar Of cOantieS. which are seek
ing to have IN election this sum
mar on a special question re
curing I; petition of Il certain
number of qualified electors, and
when they go to the books for
information they are so filled up
with Implications and other
causes that the information de-
sired cannot be accurately had.
this brings about litigation and
hard feelings, but if the legisla
ture would wipe out the whole
business, and require a new reg
istration by competent officials.
and let the books be the guide
for managers Of elections instead
Of the certificates, there would
be a fuller registration of the
white voters and there would
also be d better chance Of get
ting for jury service men who
now escape because they are not
registered.

ADVERTISING RATES
WILL MeLAURlN BE INDUCED TO RUN /:

Notwithstanding this is an off
year in politics there is much
interest being manifested in the
movements of. certain men of
prominence, among them being
Hon. John L. McLaurin of Marl-
boro, who has of late been in
demand as a speaker at num-
Der of gatherings. He was the
principles peaker at Elloree on
the Fourth where he addressed
a tremendous audience. He is
frequently spoken Of for the
next governor, but so far,he has
not indicated whether or not he
would be in the race, except to
say that he is content with the
life of a private citizen, but he
is willing to render the State
some substantial service, not
otherwise would he consider en-
vering the race for governor or
anything else. that he is not a
candidate now nor does he ex-
pect to be, except in response
to q call that no man could re-
sist.
There are number of gentle
men positively announced as
candidates for gubernatorial
honors, and some of them have
been out canvassing, but it IS
our opinion they are altogether
too early, the people are not in
mood at this time to consider
who they will support for gov
ernor next year, then too, there
is no telling what will turn up
between now and the time for
selecting a nominee next year.
Conditions may force certain
issues. for instance, the action Of
the general assembly may bring
on situation which will make
paramount an Issue as yet un-
thought Of. therefore We say it
is altogether too soon to formu-
late a platform Of principles or
to center upon a candidate for
governor.
The attitude of Senator Nc
Laurin in this matter is to be
commended. He IS not candl
date, nor will he be unless there
is such a demand for him that no
man can resist, and not then,
even, unless he feels he can
render some substantial service
to the people and to the State.
We do not believe there is a man
in the State who would till the
position with more ability, one
who would add more dignity to

Watson, there is probability OF

ing purposes. on the plan of gov
ernment aid to those States that
put up an equal amount Of mon

federal government will give an

expert supervision. Mr.. Watson
says "Provision is also made

whole, or a county as a whole,

ENCAMPMENTS ASSURED.

The controversy over the mil
itia betw cen the State and thu
Federal authorities has at last
been settled by both the Secre
tary of War and the Governor
making concessions. The COVER
nor refused to disband the sew
eral militia companies as reco-
mmended by the Adjutant Gen
eral without those companies be-
ing given an opportunity to pre-
pare themselves for the required
inspection. the government has
granted the extension Of the
time. and as a result, the gov
ernor has agreed to aid in the
enforcement of the Dick law.
which means thatafter these COM
panles have had the chance to
comply with the requirements
Of the departments regulations:
they should fail to stand the
inspection they will be mustered
out of the national guard. There
has been a whole lot of misrep-
about this matter,
resulting in misunderstanding.
but now both the State and the
Federal authorities have reach.
ed an understanding the encamp-
ments will proceed with the usual
aid Of the government. This
shake up we hope will result in
good to the militia, as its mem
bers must realize they must con-
form TO the requirements OF the
federal regulations if they hope
to receive any financial aid from
Uncle Sam.

she Office, and one who IS better
qualified. to give counsel,
who is more fearless to execute
the laws as they are written. Nc
Laurin would do more towards
bringing about a peaceful politi-
cal condition than any man We
know of, if he elects to stand
for the nomination, it will be be-
cause he is convinced that it is
his patriotic duty, and not merely
to crafty d politicians ambition.
There are some newspapers in
the State, notably The Orange
burg Times and Democrat which
seem to sneer at McLaurin, but
this is because they have never
learned the war between Tillman
and McLaurin is over. The Or
angeburg newspaper is great
admirer of the senior Senator.
and it feels it to be d religious
duty to Sneer at anybody or any
thing which has not Tillman'S 5
endorsement, but notwithStand-
ing its blind worship of Senator
Tillman, it will not be able to in
fuence the thinking people Of
Orangeburg county against Nc
Laurin should he decide to make
the race for governor, If the
splendid reception given by the
people Of that county to Nc
Laurin at Elloree is to be taken
as a token of admiration of him.
There was a time when the po
sition taken by McLaurin did not
N eet with popular approval,
principally because he was not
understood, and because his enc
mics distorted his meaning so
that the masses were misled, ont
time has healed this, the think
ing masses have come to know
an injustice was done to the man.
and that he was the victim of
jealous politicians. The posi-
tions on public questions he as
sumed then were rather in ad-
vance of the average thought. in
other words, he was ahead of his
time. now however, it is realized
and there is growing sentiment
over the State to have him give
the State the benefit of his states
mauship as the chief magistrate.

WOULD HAVE CLASS VOTERS.

| Hon. ]. J. McMahon, Of Colum
bia, once superintendent Of educa
ton. later a member of the House
and still later was defeated as Z
candidate for the House, is writ
ing a series of articles for The
State on needed reforms inSoutf
Carolina" but his main topic fol
reform is the election laws where
by the voting population can be
limited to those who can comply
with the conditions offered by
Mr.. Mcmahon and those who
agree with. him. He says that
under our present system among
the legal and the Democratic
voters may be skulkers and de-
serters of the time of war and
scalawags of the period of the
PROSTATE State. but he says moth
ing about those who refused to
accept the result Of the primary
in 1890 and followed Col. Haskell
into an independent movement.
J We have no doubt but Mr.. Nc
Mahon would defend these as
ably as he denounceS the others.
According to his argument, only
those who can make the educa-
tIonal test or the alternative
property test should be allowed
to vote in a white mans primary.
Mr.. McMahon is not by himself
in these views. there are many
arguing likewise, but pin them
down and they will confess their
object is to curtail the voting
privilege to those having prop
erty and education.
The trouble with men of this
class is, they never discover any
thing wrong with the electorate
until they have felt the keen
pangs of disappointment from
defeat. We have no doubt when
Mr.. McMahon was q candidate
in the last primary with every
prospect Of election. he refrain
ed from giving public expression
TO the views he now airs in The
State, because had he made those
views known then his vote would
have been considerably cut down:

constitutional convention NJ =.
