The Democratic "spIitv in 1896

a newspaper in York, The Enquirer
having in mind the interest of Mr..
BieaSc, said last week that w. W
Eall, editor Of The state, voted against
w. j. Bryan in 1896. 1t is inst as
well to say plainly that Mr.. Ball has
never denied this but has scarcely lost
an opportunity to make il public. In
that year when the national Demo-
cratic party was spit into the gold"
ana silver factions. Mr.. Ball voted
Tor an electoral ticket in South Caro-
Ina favorable to the wing of the Dem
ociatlc party of which Palmer and
Huckncr were nominees. That elcc-
torIl ticket was composed entirely of
white men and Democrats. some of
Whom were Frank Evans of Spartan
burg, Nat Gist of Ncwbcrry, the late
Colonel James y. Blanding; of Sumter
and the late Colonel f. w. McMaster
OF Columbia. Sympathetic with the
Palmer and BucknCr ticket in nation
al affairs was Woodrow Wilson and
also JudSon Harmon of Ohio, who was
Mr.. BleaSc'S candidate for the Demo-
cratic nomination in 1872. Grover
Cleveland was the real head of the
gold Democratic party and Judson
Harmon was member of his cabinet.
Other Democrats prominent in the
Gold Democratic movement in 1896
were the late Senator Don Caffcuy. of
Louisiana, Postmaster General William
i. Villas, Colonel John X. Fellows, "A
Confederate veteran then living in
New York and Colonel Henry Waiter
son. The truth of history is that on
the question OF Sixteen to one" the
Democratic party all over the United
States partcG into two companies that
year.
The division in the Dcmocra tic par
ty in 1886 was wide. When the South
Carolina Democratic convention met
in Columbia in May, it was not known
whether the gold" or silver" men
would control the national convention
in Chicago. The late United States

HOW TO VOTE.

Many votes were lost in last Tues
days primary for various reasons,
some because improperly prepared and
sOmc because they were placed in the
wrong boxes.
Under the rules Il state ticket placed
in county box is thrown out and Il
county ticket placed in a state box is
thrown out.
There is no good reason for this cX-
ccpt to keep the state and county
tickets separate, and TO prevent the
voter from putting a state ticket ana
Il county ticket in both boxes.
That list reason is not very urgent
Formerly when the voter had access
to all the tickets he wanted without
regard to the managers, ii was pOsSi
bic for him TO put identical tickets in
both of the boxes. But that rs differ
ent now. The voter has no legitimate
way of getting more than one ticket of
each kind, and no special harm IS done
if he should get them mixed.
But according to the rule, If = ticket
is placed in the wrong box it must be
thrown out.
Then where two or more candidates
are to be voted Tor Tor the same Otlcc
the voter must vote for the specified
number or lose that part of the ticket.
Quite q number Of tickets were
thrown out because all but one, two
or three of the legislative candidates
were scratched, and others were
thrown out because none were scratch
ed out.
Incorrect marking here does not null
lify the whole ticket; but only the
vote for that office.
At Glover there were dozen or more
tickets on which the voter attempted
to vote only for Mr.. Beamguard. Mr..
Beamguard lost all these votes.
The voter must get his ticket from
the managers, then go into booth and
mark ii, and then fold il so as to leave
the numbered coupon projecting, md
after the managers have torn off this
coupon the ticket is placed in the box.

Lancaster News, and reproduced else
where in The Yorkville Enquirer of
today. Mr.. Jones thoroughly under
stands the injustice of the assaults
that have been made. on the Democra-
cy. Of Mr.. Blease, and also lie cppre-
ciatcs their futility. Not only that he
knows exactly what Mr.. Blease stands
for. He has been in a position to learn
it. and he learned it-"the protest OF
the people who feel that the common
man needs n leader against the organ
lied power of corporate wealth and
allied political ambition" But since
Mcleod is so obviously the candidate
of "the power and combinatill of Or
ganizcd big business" as was Mr..
Jones in 1912, we cannot see what
ground Mr.. Jones has for believing
that he will develop sympathy for the
other side. Surely Mr.. Jones is not
accusing Mcleod of deliberate attempt
to turn traitor to the interests that arc
behind his candidacy. Then as to Mr..
Jones's reasons for supporting Nc
Lcod. OF course it was known and
understood that he would never sup
port Biease, and there was no occa-
sion for his giving any reasons. But
third term" bunk. 1t has been shown
that the governorship has been almost
as hereditary in South Carolina as the
crown is in England, and what kind of
a situation is more disastrous to Dem
ocratic institutions? But third terms
in governorShips are common in al
most every state in the Union. No
body really regards that as significant
of anything except the availability OF
the man. The other reason is equally
puerle. We must not take away the
power of the machine, because the
machine will continue its strife to get
that power back. In order to avoid
strife, we must let the machine rule
forever! According to that reasoning
why should the Democratic party
make another effort to take the pres
idcncy away from the Republicans?
And if Bleasc should win this time,
why should the Columbia States crowd
not be as willing to take its medicine
as it expects the Blease side to do in
The event it wins? An able man is
former Chief Justice Jones; but this
is a case in which white cannot be
made to appear black, nor black white.

ERROR In The VOTE.

The Mcleod vote in York county
last Tuesday was "1,4S2' instead CT
1,532,'" the official figures published
last Friday.
The figures as published were taken
from the record filed with the clerk of
the court, as required by law; but a
second addition Of the detailed vote at
the various precincts showed these fig
ures incorrect.
The figures have been corrected on
the official record and they now stand
at 1882, instead of 1,532 IS published.
In his official publication of the fig
ures to the executive committee, DR..
Sayc gave. 1,532" as the vote of Nc
Leod, and those figures were sent to
the state executive committee; but
since then the correct figures have
been established as being 1,4S2.

MOUNTAIN ISLAND TRAGEDY.

Yorkvil!e people who went TO Noun
tain Island, Castor county, Sunday, TO
view the scene of the big dynamite eX-
plosion there Saturday, in which three
negroes lost their lives, brought back
an interesting story Of the tragedy and
painted Il tragic picture of the acci-
dent. 1t is estimated that there were
no less than 1000 people at Mountain
Island Sunday from York, Castor,
Mccklcnburg, Cleveland and other
counties. who were ANXIOUS to view
the scene. 4 large force of men, both
white and colo"cd, is employed on the
construction of the big dam and power
plant there. Many of these employees
are from York county.
The three negroes who were Killed
by the explosion have been idcntlhed
as James BCthcw Of Hamlet, n. G.,
and HAYWOOD Douglass of Ncwberry.
The third negro was known aS Nor
man Johnson and is said to have come
from Charlotte. Two Of the negroes
were buried in the cemetery pear the
little country church not far from inc
scene of the explosion, while the body
Of the third negro was taken by rcla-
tivrs 10 Charlotte for burial.

of their explosives. Scores of houses
in the construction camp are window

from their position by the force OF the

were PROSTATE and the trail leading To
the spot where the store house was
formerly located was covered with
carpet Of leaves showed down from the
trees which were shaken
by the blast.
K is said that particles Of clothing
that had been worn by the negroes
were found ut various places from 80
to $50 feet from the site of the house.
The clothing was torn into strips
ranging from one inch square 10 the
size Of a small handkerchief and two or
three inches wide by six or eight inch

THE SHARON EPISODE

Sorry all this hullabaloQ about the
alleged stuffed ballot box at Sharon
occurred" said Dick Norman, well
known young man of the Sharon sec
ton who was in Yorkville yesterday.
But / am glad that you printed my
name as the person against whom the
insinuaton was made. You see, if
you hadn't why folks all over York
county would have had practically
every Sharon voter under suspicion as
the person attempting to stuff the
ballot box"
Seriously speaking though" con-
tinucd Mr.. Norman, 1T happened this
way: "One OF the managers mad
vcrtently handed me two state tickets
instead of one. ! used one of them
to vote for Cole l.. Blease and seeing
that ] had two, called the attention of
the managers to ii.
Il voted onCe-ddn't want to vote
but once and on September II, if | am
living and nothing happens | will vote
again--just once and for Cole l..
BlCaSC.
AS for any invCstigation-Ill gladly
welcome it,"

Request has been made for the cor

Request has been made for the cor
rcction OF an inadvertant error where
by the published record of real estate
transfers r. NJ. Anderson was repre-
scntcd as having transferred 20 1-2
acres of land to "R. Andral Bratton,"
when the transfer was really made to
r. Andral Anderson.
Some of the voters have an idea that
because of the number on the ticket,
there is some way of connecting them
with the candidates for whom they
vote. There is nothing to that. The
number does not serve any other pur-
pose than to keep track of the tickets
used. The number is on the coupon
only and not on the ticket, and when
the coupon is torn off before the depos-
it Of the ticket in the box, there IS no
means by which the ticket can be iden-
titled again. The very essence of eff
cheney in the ballot is secrecy, and this
is prevented. If a voter wants to de-
clare the candidates he favors he has a
right to do so, and if not it is nobOdy's
business. Anyhow no one can possibly
find out how the voter votes unless the
voter tells it, and usually people are not
given to taking voters very seriously
even when they do tell it.

Senator J. !. NJ. iIrby made splendid
fight for actiorJ plsdging the South
Carolina delegation, TO the Chlcaso
convention, Silver Men," To abide by
it's decision. That proposal was voted
down. Thus, in advance of the nom
ination of n presidential candidate
permission was extended to South
Carolina Democrats to vote as they
chose between the Silver and 'Gold
wings of the national party-at least
Mr.. Ball and those who agreed with
him so construed it.
In 1896 no pledge was taken in the
primary to support the nominees, ma
tional or state.
Finally, neither the editor of The
State, nor The State, is now or ever
has been a candidate for governor or
any other ofiice.-Columbia State,
September ..
Just as we have pointed out before,
whatever The State does is right while
The State is doing and everybody VINO
is doing otherwise is wrong. When
The State fopsf what was wrong be-
fore becomes right and people who
refuse to flop with it become wrong.
For years The Columbia State was
for the gold standard as against free
coinage but eventually it Topped to
free coinage.
For years The State was for high
license for the liquor business, and
finally changed over to prohibition
after, the fight had been won.
1t charges Blease with having failed
to vote Democratic ticket, which
says he did not do, and yet it defends
it's editor who admits such failure.
In the 1898 contest between Feather
stone and Ellerbe, when Ellerbe was
about to be beaten in the second prl-
mary, it pledged its good faith to It's
readers that Ellerbe was the man TO
vote for and defeated Featherstone.
Afterward it turned out it's plea was
based on a claim that Ellerbe had
promised to send n high license
message to the legislature.
The Columbia State has but one idea
in politics and that is to dominate
public men and public affairs and to
this end it does not mind taking on
and putting off principles as cloak.
And the only thing in which 1t mas
ever been consistent is the insistent
protest that its inconsistency is con-
sistcnt.
And finally" we are quite well aware
that neither The State nor its editor
is a candidate. That is the trouble. II
the editor of The State would come out
as candidate against Blcase we
would be glad to stand aside and leave
them to fight it out. But this way The
State has of running its candidates by
proxy-of having subservicnt principals
to take the responsibility while it
exercises all the power and authority,
we do not like. This thing is subver-
sve of Democratic principles and
dangerous to liberty.

Mr.. Laney has yielded to the ma
he says he will vote for Mcleod. We
do not know the price; that will
probably come out in due time. 1t
may be that they have offered him the
governorship four years from now, Or
even two years from now. Or perhaps
they are going to let him run against
Dial for the senate. But of course It
is something Mr.. Laney entered the
race as a free lance. He didn't even
seem to be aware of the existence of
machine until he had traversed a
in contact with number of wheels,
cogs, springs and the like in the mean
time, at Marion he made Il fling with
his monkey wrench that threatened
smashup. He accused Mcleod as
being candidate of the machine and
accused the machine of being lined up
behind Mcleod. That was the sub
stance of it, and engineers of the ma
chine became fcarrully alarmed. They
began talking to Lancy like a Dutch
father IN his son This is not suspicion.
