to take office immediately .tfeereafut
and hold tUI htu.W?*?uor ls elected.*'
I hf?re add come comments by way
of empiiasla rainer than explanation
of Konie points involved above:
No. above contemplates a complete
nen enrollment now. The club roll?
cr hooks should be all turned in to the
county executive committee and de
stroyed-or rather deposited in tho
State Historical Commission as docu
ments of note.
New enrollment would be Issued by
each county executive committee to
the clubs of the county, for entire
new enrollment, the applicants ap
pearing in perren, signing their name?
on tin* booka, or their marks, witness,
ed, and macing oaths as to the re- I
'qulremen.ts ('nut is actual residence
fu the product, no-enrollment of any
other club, legal qualifications as a
registered elector, and being a demo
crat.)
No. - above, requiring tho registra
llon ct ;>... cs'i? und tax receipt to be
presented to the election manager:*,
in a chock on the club enrolling offi
cers, ihi ta* receipt receipt being n
rontlm.iuj '.lonti..cation of the por
son year after year-especially if the
managers of the election be required
to stamp lt tor each primary aa is
very generally proposed.
Nos. 4 and ."? are of prime impor
tance, to localize the voters and to
minim!-/' the opportunity for duplica
tion o.- repetition.
The existence of more than one club
'.ithin the auine precinct presents a
difficulty in preventing tho overlapping
of vot< ri an t of territory, which is
met by GUtSKoStloh from Kershaw that
the primary elections be confined to j
ibe gurrai election voting places,
so that all the club rolls of a precinct
will Lc u:;:.c;?. tiled at tho same place,
where all the enrolled democratic res.
idents within that precinct can vote,
and nero from beyond that territory.
I Join i i is i Her thia year the gen
eral i.. . muly could be induced to In
crease thu number of voting precincts
und rearrange polling places, if Clere
ls any lierions inconvenience in tho
present legal voting places.
Nos. <;,x7, 8, i? and IO contemplate
the closing of enrol :,; nt lu ample,
.time before thc^firot primary to ad
mit the full publicity, investigation,
and correction of errors, whether of
omission or commission. Th? publish
ing of the roll makes every newspaper
reader a committee of ono to rpport,
crrprs. The filing of the roll |?,.a,
permanent record abd offers opportu
nity for "Investigation..by ?my person.
TJae obligation upon, throe'successive
committees, to -.brreet otrora with the
right to. appeal to thc courts, given,
every assurance of remedying wrongs.
In addition, : :-. a mutter of de.taU, quito j
important, I would add. that, no naine |
should n2 ?triches iron: :':o foijl exrj
copi upon not icu malled, to thc a'ddres? j
and further given hy advertisement
given i:i the newspaperor the. county.
No. 0 calls tu the attention anomaly
which la nov.- quita, common as ?ne
of tho abuse.; that has grown up with
authority In the'Party rules--tho prac
tic? of ?'-qt ip g white republicans vote
tn the DotuocrtAlc primary, and of let
ting young negroes vote, in direct vio
lation of the rulo forbidding.
. WMtc republicans should not be al
lowed to oat ,tbelr. oakstand have it
iloo. To enjoy the profile ot .Repub
licanism, which involvedttJllanccwith
tho oppression of the Sooth and ye?
be accorded with full privilege of voice
ia our State party government in u
iuxurous riding a ftwo ?horses. We
should stop thia, .and ici the . Bull
Moose and all understand that they
cannot serve two masters.
Hence tho party pledge to support
the nominee of the Democratic pri
mary should bc broadened to. include
tho nominees of tho party National.^
well as state-wide.
No. 1 above ls the fundamental-un
less.we are to allow women s'so to j
vote before they uro uniruuehised ie
?aily. It was ne/er deliberately In
tended that anybody ?hould a??t*t in
a caucur, decision uniesp able laier to
take part in Um final contest to put
through that decision. A primary el
ection is but a caucus .of the legal
voters who agrre to hold a preliminary
or "primary" election to weed out
their candidates and enable thom to j
unite their strength at the general el-1
ection. How every kind of . a loafer
and interloper should have gradually j
been allowed to come into this "prelim, j,
lnary" election and even think himself
? entitled to hector-"'lt over the rpnl
voters, is a remarkable chapter of
history.

It is not known whether or not the
Bethelite High school team of Spar
tanburg hus had a long standing
grudge against the team representing
the Anderson High School but it cer
tainly did seem to yesterday. The
home hopes journeyed over to Spur
tanburg last night, confident that they
would romp ull over the Bethelite ag
gregation but it seems that some mis
take was made in their calculations.
Tba Uethelitc team shut out the An
derson team by a score of 7 to U.
However, the lads were undaunted,
and they telegraphed home lust night
to the effect that they would remain
In Spartanburg and play tlie Bethelite,
team today for two out of three. The
Anderson feam won from the B.. ti.
s. when the team came here some
time UKO and so the Bcorc now stands
1 and I. The winner of this after
noon's battle will be the victor. .
In yesterdays gume 'i... .act that

could not and did not duplicit? this

is said here to be tb? largest tUloit
distillery plant ever found in Yadkin
County, was located in thc Little Na
tion settlement Friday afternoon by
Deputy Collector A. J. Martin and
Special Otllcer J. E. Shugart. They
very often (iud them in this section,
but seldom lind such a mammoth
plant as was found by the officers ou
this raid.
Tho operators of the plant had evi
dently got wind of the coming of lite
officers, aa the copper had been car
ried away only a short time before
they arrived. This was all they could
move, however, and all the beer and
other fixtures were left to the mercy
of the captors.
Two thousand five hundred gallons
of beer were poured out and the
fermenter destroyed, as well as other
article? found at the place. Only one
person WAS found at the place. Ilia
name was Pete Miller, and it being
reasonably certain that ho had noth
ing t odo with.the plsnt was releasol
from custody. The officers soy they
have no clue to the owners of thu
outfit, and no arrests are expected
to follow. Mr. Shugart lias cut up
as many of these kind of plsnts as
any officer in the county and he nays
this ls the largest one he has ever
seen.

fesnd for ??t Veterans antr tbls will re
move a big burden from the shoulders
of those, in. charge.

barrel of lemonade and a barrel of
Ice water at every corner on every
business street,' which will be free to
ice veterans.' Arrangements are also
underway for establishing a free lunch
r.tar.d ju?? outside or the main tent,
where veterans will,he served coffee
and sandwiches free of charge.
It Is probable also that the school
child-en of the city, some 1,500 In
number will be supplied with baskets
ot roses and each child will present
some veteran with a bouquet. Thia will
bo quito a pretty, feature if lt is found
possible^ and it is to'be hoped that lt

fed?rate. v*t?ran* from all over Ute
State in attendance for the reunion.
Indications are. that fully all of thia
