TILLMAN'S VIEWS on PRIMARY.
Says New Club Rolls Should Be Made
Up-H0w to Get Them Correct.

Washington, May Ex-senator Till
man handed the correspondent of the
News a2d Courier the following state
ment today:
The near approach Of the State
convention and the Importance of its
expected action embotdens me to give
expression to some opinions on the
subject OF safeguarding the primary
| deem this more necessary because
know | shall not be able to attend the
convention in person, and l have re-
ceived many letters asking my advise
in this crisis. Almost every South
aCrolinao newspaper l see has some
thing to say about his all-important
subject, and there ale scores Of
schemes, or propositions, as to how it
1ught to be lonesome good, some
bad, some Indifferent, and many en-
,irely impracticable and unjust.
1t will be remembered hat just al
ter tle last primary two years ago,
cries of fraud went up all over the
tSate and the executive committee did
not declare the result promptly. This
caused intense anger on the part Of
the supporters OF Governor Blease, as
they believed here was an effort be-
ing made to cheat him; and | raised
by vcice in no uncertain way urging
promptness in investigating and re-
porting the results Of the election and
thus relieving the suspense. The
governor was finally declared the
norniaee of the party and things
quieted down.
We have another primary coming
on in Angus, and there are many
thousands of men in the State who
boldly arrow the purpose never to
take part in the primary again unless
there are some safeguards thrown
around ii to prevent fraud and corrup-
ton. have given the subject much
thought and venture to make the fol-
lowing suggestions:

Make Rolls Public.

For reasons that are apparent to
any man who thinks about it, after
the new rolls are made up-and this
should be done by a given date-they
should be filed in some convenient
place wnere they can be examined to
deject if there has been any fraud
practiced in placing naales on them.
Twenty days should elapse between
the filing of the rolls and the primary,
and entry of no name be allowed af-
ter the period fixed No name should
b. put on the roll unless the voter
applies in person or sends written
authority asking that his name be en-
rolled. There should be three club
rolls, one copy to be sent to the coun-
ty chairman, another copy to the
clerk CT court, and the third copy re-
main with the secretary of the club as
a registry list govern on the day Of
the primary election. No man should
be allowed to vote whose name has
not been enrolled in accordance with
the above regulations.
81 the money can be had, it would
be we'll to have the club rolls publish
ed in some one county paper twenty
days before the primary; but as fear
this may be considered too expensive,
the filing of them wi h the clerks Of
court and the county chairman is suf-
ficient ia my judgment.
Locating Them.
"The voters, when they enroll,
should state the place of residence,
giving the screel and number of the
house, if they live in town, CT ths
township when residing in the coun-
try. No club roll should made up
of men from two townships or two
wards, but each subdivision Of coun-
ty Or city should have one club and no
more The residents Of that political
subdivision could then determine
whether any fraud has been practic-
ed in the enrolment or not This reg
ulation will compel me to go six
miles in the primary, although there
is at present a vo:ing precinct within
half mile of my home. But no in
convenience can be too great to pre-
vent our taking every precaution pos
sible to preevnt fraud, or the charge
OF it,

. Planting a Privet Hedge

Privet hedge Is becoming more popular every year. being used as border and protection to the garden spot says the Philadelphia Record. It Is both orna- mental and useful The old method of pale fences around the house gives sort of confined and mean look. while the evergreen hedges are not only elegant substitutes. but they are moro pleasing to the eye, giving the premises richer and more up-to-date look.
 In new sod, it is best to have broken 1t up in the fall, and then in spring plowed. throwing the furrows outward, so that a broad furrow may be left Tn the center, in the line of the proposed hedge. This Is again plowed in, narrowed and left to settle.
 The plants should be set in straight line, the ground staked off at regular distance. A double row, with the plants alternating, is better than single row hedge. The plants should be set at least 10 inches apart in the rows and the rows at least eight inches apart Many hedge plants will need even a greater distance from each other. or they will not thrive.
 Subsequent treatment of hedges con- sists in keep ing the ground mellow and clean of weeds during the first year. Throw furrow against the plants on each side, and afterwards blow from thern when weeds and grass spring up. This should be repeated as often as any ob- roxious vegetation may make it's appear ance. Late in the spring blow two heavy furrows against the hedge on each side.
 During the summer the hedge should be frequently trimmed with a heuge shears. Keep the shoots down to within three or four inches of the ground.

Fish Carries Young
nm the New Ynrl, Sun

From the New 1orK sun.
 The kangaroo has always seemed to have the monopoly of that eonvient way of carrying it's babies in pouch, but t has been discovered that fish has the same useful receptacle, which 1t uses for the same purpose. The pipe fish, as 1t is called from the length of its jaws, has pocket on the under side of its body near ly half it's length. It is found in the male species only, and is the only part of its body which is unprotected by large flat plates, which take the place of scales In It's protective armor.
 If a pipefish is taken from the water and it's little ones shaken out of the pouch back into the water they always seem either unable or disincined to run away. But if the father is placed in the water again all the small fish immediate ly swim back Into the pouch. These curious little creatures have prehensile tales. which they use to hold on to the seaweed to prevent themselves being carried away by the tide. The pipefish Is similar to the small eel being about foot in length and an inch In thickness. But, unlike the eel. it has very long jaw and the peculiar defensive armor already mentioned.

 JONAH WHALE STORY
If True, Interior of Big Fish Must Have Been Fitted Up Like

When in the First Methodist church the Rev. W. F.
