OCR ELECTORAL SY8TBM.
We have read with a great deal of
interest an article in the November
Forum on the Dangerous Defects in
our Electoral System by ex-Secretary
of the Treasury J. G. Carlisle. It is
written in his nsaal strong and vigorous
style, and bis points are brought
out clearly. When the dangers involved
in oar present system are contemplated,
.it is amazing that it has
been tolerated, and it is still more surprising
that a change has not been [

our readers possibly know that the
Twelfth Amendment to the Constitution,
prescribing the mode ol electing
the President and Vice-President, was
adopted on account of the situation in
the election between Jefferson and
Burr in 1801. It wa3 adopted in 1803,
The Amendment has never been satisfactory,
and now and then some agitation
springs up for a change. In 1S24,
"a majority of the States," says Mr.
Carlisle, "through their legislatures,
declared in iavor 01 a ainereac
method," bat although many proposed
amendments were offered,, none of
them conld be. carried through both
branches of Congress. The Senate,
then as now, was a stumbling block,
and when amendments would pas? the
House of Representatives, they would
fail in the Senate. ?vcr?body, who
has given the snbject any thought,
agree that a change ihoula be made,
but an unobjectionable plan has never
been proposed.
Let us briefly suggest some of the
serious dangers that may occur under
the present system, and it will simply
be miraculous if some of them, if not
all, do not occur. As most everybody
knows, the President and Vice-President
of the United Slates are elected
by electors. These electors from the
several States are elected or appointed
Ill OUOU UiMUU^l f$ 3 VAVU O iVgi-J
latnre may prescribe. Each elector
names on a balM his choice for President
and on aio'her ballot his choice
for Vice-Presiatnt. The person having
the greatest number of votes in the
electoral college shall be President, but
his total vote must be a majority of the
whole number of electors. If no per?
son has received a majority, then, from
the persons, not exceeding three, having
the highest number of vote3 on the
list of those voted for as President, the
House of Representatives shall forthwith
choose the President, the representation
from each State having one
vote. The person who shall receive
the grea'est number of votes, provided
, it. b^majoritz-QClhe-WholeLiianiber- of
electors, shall be Yice-rrewdent. :
Tr> <->o co rift norarm Viavo a maMrttv.
then the Senate shall elect a VicePresident
from the two persons.on the
list having the highest number ef votes. Mr.
Carlisle, speaking of these provisions,
says that they "are not only
cumbersome and inconsistent with the
democratic spirit of our institutions,
but so imperfect in their details and so
uncertain in thoir practical operation
as to constitute a menace to the peace
of the country at each recurring Presi
dential election," and that "it seems
almost, marvelous that we have been
able for so long a period to secure a
regular and peaceable succession of
Presidents and Vice-Presidents." Mr.
Carlisle mentions the very obvious
fact?that the tendency is towards "dispersion
rather tnun of consolidation";
"and that, instead of two great opposing
party organizations, we may <
have, for some time at least, three or 1
four formidable parties, each with an 1

only enabling a mere plurality of the
popular vole to control the entire elect- !
oral rote in every State, but, at the j
same time, greatly increasing the dan- (
ger of compelling the House of tfepre- ?
sentatives to choose the President, and
the Senate to choose the Vice Presi- j
dent." 3
Then, on account of the increa*e in I
the number of political parties, s^p- J
pose that it should happen that more j
than three persons, on the list voted j
for as President, should receive the highest
and an equal number of votes, j
*V>on n/*r?/vrvl?ncr tA fWncfifnfinn .
there would be no choice for President i
in the electoral college, and the House
of Representatives could not, consti- |
tuticr^aily, choose a President, be- ^
causa as already said the House of ]
Representatives must choose from the !
three persons receiving the highest j
number of votes. If more than two t
norsnna nti fhp list vnforl fnr as t
President, receive the highest and equal jr
number of votes, there would be no i
election in the electoral collego and J
could be none in the Senate. The re- 1
suit would be that the United Stales J
would be without a President or Vice- (
President. Then what would become
of 'he Government ? 1

the s- er it settled the better for <

We have just read an article written *
by Mr. G. H. McMaster in 1857 urging
the organization of agricultural societies.
He says: uThe following are
matters which should, I think, enter <

societies. The enactment of 'Not*
fence* law ; a special tax upon negro 11
mechanics; enforcement of the law 4
against trading with slaves, and of the 11
road working law." The "No fence" *
carae many years afterwards, the war '
ended the slave law, bat we are still
talking about good roads. t

the short sighted policy of planting all c

donbt whether there are more than e
two or three flour mills in the county, 3
and it is barely possible that there is a
only one. Good flour, much more t
nourishing than most of the flour now a
bought, has been made here, and it
can be done again. c

In Georgia, some members of the *
General Assembly propose to make a ?

Representative Phinizy, of Richmond J
County, says that there are too many 1
d?n farmers and d?n jackasses in the J
Georgia legislature and that they are 1
toogreentoburninhadeg. Mr.Phioizy 1
is evidently what is jcnown as a ioocball
crank. It is a gooA thiDg that J
most>of the voters in his county live
in Augusta, otherwise the t:d?n farmers"
might leave Mr. Phinizy at home
at the next eleetion, and pnt a "d?n

The nuts from the young tree were
fully twice the size of those from the

cultivated, f^nd the old has not. The
large pecans were delicious and of a
rich flavor. A few pecan trees are
qctite an addition to one's premises, and
it is surprising that "more people do
not plant them. An acre or two would

The township road committees would
meet just such cases as those mentioned ^
by "A Subscriber." The township j
committees would report "the roads i
impassable," where "not a day, no, *
not an hour of load duty has been, put

surprising that our roads are in such a ^
miserable condition during a wet spell. [

Other Matters.
It is said that every city, town and
'illage has its idiosyacrasies, Its habits
>ecnliar to itself, as much so as every
aau, woman and child. If this is true
he first thing that a casual observer
LOt5.ce3 in visiting oar town is the
tamber of beardless boys and very,
>ery young men who in the course of
louversation refer to "my wife" at
tome. Perhaps this cm be accounted
:or by the fact that this is a requisite
>f every thoroughly alive town, bnt be
t as it may facts stand for themselves
md from the present outlook tbere is
ao chance for improvement.
For the past five years Eidgeway has
tsld a record in the unmber of her
narria^es that can hardly be equalled
n any t?wn of her s'ze in the State,
md at the end of list season the pros

ittle disheartening. It seemed that
ier good record must of necessity be
>roken, bnt now all are radian: with
topes of a continuation of it.
Oa last Wednesday when old Sol
tad only half finished his day's work
tod from the zeniih of the heavens
vas smiling on the good people of our
ommuaity with one of his sweet November
smiles, Mr. John J. McEachirn,
of Kidgcway, lead to the altar
dis3 Ama B. Harrison, of Longtown,
.nd in the solemn rites of the Presby
erian Church they were made man

The wedding was a quiet home one
>nly a few relatives and the bride's

room are well knowu in our comnunity.
*Mr. McEachern is 01 e of
Xidgeway's most promising young
aerclianis and Miss Harrison is the
rery popular daughter of Mr. J. D.

'sweet sixteen" has held sway as the

A few days ago the State inspector

)f his visit is not known bat persuant
o his orders the county board ig
it present taking stock and Dispenser
Elkin has been succeeded by Mr. R. W.

We hope that this will put an end
o the dispennary trouble here, and
sven if Ridgeway can receive no proits
from it that ife will no longer be so
>rone to invite discussion and wrangings
on the subject.
A few days ago in Longtown a bale j
>f cotton was stolen from Mr. W. J.
Seigler by a negro named Fred Gibes.
Sis cotton was identified at tbe depot
?y Mr. Seigler and upon reference to
he number tbe seller was found out.
rred is now resting complacently in

Our new postmaster has completed
lis improvements in the postoffice.
since Mr. Williams took charge of it
has completely overhauled" the in
iidtj of the building. T&e old boxes
vere replaced by ao ample supply of
iew ones and both Mr. Williams and
lis clerk, Mr. GrJgsbv, are doing ail
vithio their power to'give satisfaction
o the public.
The couutj teachers are much pleasid
at the prospects for longer terms
nd better schools this year than last.
Che public school here has enrolled

in. The neighboring schools have
argo enrollments also. Mi?? Stella
iosborough, from Angnsta, has charge

Miss Mamie Hinnant, from Winnsloro,
has enrolled over 40 in Upper

Often we hear complaint that the
choolsof our county are so mnch beiind
those of the rest of the State,
f those making these charges were to
xamine into the matter they would
ind it quite different. But, we need

chools. If the coanty superintendent
rould visit our schools more and re[uire
the teachers to use the- books
dopted by the State board, aud not
save the choice to the fancy of every

and require all teachers to atsnd.
The consolation, the comfort, the
pmpathy, the knowledge that a teacher
rould get from these institutes would
o a long way toward solving the

brating the tercentenary of the introduction
of the tragrant beverage into
England. It is generally supposed that
coffee was first drunk in an English
home in one of the closing years of the
sixteenth century. But. the first csffeo
house was not set up until 1612, when
a merchint who traded with the East
bought a shed in St. Martin's church
yard and converted it into a coffee
tavern, under the managumeot of a
hotel cook", one Paeqaa, whom he

the coffee was so expensive that the
tavern did not repay iLs owner. There
is an old record in the British Museum
which shows that even a hundred
years later coffee was as much as $250
a ton. At one time it rose to the fabulous
price of $9<(0 a ton. Why a ton
is taken as the standard weight is not
obvious, but we read tfc&t thDse who
indulged in the luxury drank as much
throo or lour dishes ax Jinmo, wbiob
may explain it.? Westminster Gazette.
Not Always Understood.
A fact often overlooked, or not al- .
ways understood, is that women suffer
as much from distressing kidney and
bladder troubles as the men. The
womb is situated back of and very
closc to the bladder, and for that rea
son any distress, disease or inconvenience
manifested in the kidney?, back,
bladder or urinary passage is often, by
mistake, attributed to female weakness
or womb trouble of some sort.
The error is easily made and may b3
as easily avoided by setting urine aside
for twenty-four hours; a sediment 01*
settling is evidence that yoar kidneys
and bladder need doctoring. If you
have pain or dull aching in the back,
pass water too frequently, or scanty
supply, with smarting or burning,?
t'lese are also convincing proofs of kidney
trouble. If you have doctored
