C. ? Al t ^ J. P. AUYZHIWI, UMflJMV | | Ho if. Frank W, LShealy Heads Ticket for Railroad Commissioner. Hon. Frank W. Shealy, Lexington's popnlar candidate for railroad commissioner, headed the ticket, he having received abont 4,000 votes so far over his next nearest opponent, C. D. Fort ner, of Spartanburg. This is indeed gratifying to the hundreds of friends of Mr. Shealy in this county and to his thousands of friends throughout the State, who have made a strong and manly fight for him. Mr. Shealy issued the following brief statement this morning. "To ' say that I am gratified expresses it mildly. I entered the race to win. I have made a clean and an honorable campaign, and I feel that the people of South Carolina have shown by their votes that they admire a-man who believes in clean politics and who has advocated from every stump the need of supporting men on their merits and their merits alone. I feel confident that I will win in the second race. At any rate, I expect to continue to conduct my campaign on the same high plane, confidently believing that the people of South Carolina will endorse zay course. To the people of my county who have stood by me with such untiring zeal, I am truly grateful. If I am elected as I confidently expect -to be I assure every one that I will perform the duties of the office in such a manner as to redown to the good of not only ihe people of Lexington County, but for the good of all South Carolina." Mr. SheaJy's office is a busy pla'ce these days. Letters and telegrams are pouring in from every section of the State, assuring the Lexington candidate of the heartiest good wishes and ofx the strongest support ever given a man for State office in this section of the State. % ' - ' % > r - > The Election Tuesday has been elected to the Hcrrae on the I first"ballot, with J.. M. Malpass, J. Brooks Wingard, Jas. B. Addy and L. W. Wt^mmning over for the two additional places to be filled. % D. J. S. Derrick and E. L. Wingard run over for treasurer; W. D. Dent has been re-elected county auditor oyer his opponent, Jesse 0. Wingard, by a large majority; Hon. Geo. S. Drafts and Mr. G. A. Derrick run over for judge of probate. For county commissioner the returns show that Mr. W. L. Addy, of Gilbert, has been defeated for re-election, he having failed to receive enough votes to gst in the second race. Tnose who run over for the two places are: R. J. Hook, John W. Smith, S. Rufus Smith and Azariah Taylor. The vote fell short of the enrollment something like 600 votes. The vote by precincts is given elsswhere in this issue. Lexington People Hard to Please. Some .people are satisfied with the measure half full; others with it level foil; yet others not till it is full, pressed down and running over. With the latter the Lexington people may be classed. A perfect surprise was made Pastor and Mrs. Thomas some weeks ago in the form of a well filled purse with a surprisingly large sum, and just as the recipients were recovering from thi9 first shock, a second and harder one was given. Not only was the measure filled, but filled to the overflowing. On last Friday night they were given an old-fashioned pounding, good and hard. Eyerything brought, which was of the broadest variety, was most useful, which caused our hearts to overflow with true and sincere appreciation for the magnificent store of pantry articles. These things are valuable and useful, and we thank you heartily for them, but most of all do we appreciate the spirit which prompted this action Such an action can have no other rc- J suit than to bind our hearts closer to j you and your best good. May this J act draw people and Poster in closer j fellowship, which we hope will result in the greater advancemeeot of the spiritual welfare of the town. So we are compelled to say that the people of Lexington can be satisfied with no work half done- with nothing less than the best. Again we pray God's richest bless- I ings upon yon, and may you find the I measure filled with blessing3 for you j beyond this worl Ps gcods. SI ' Senator Smith Re-elected. Ellison D. Smith, janior United States senator from South Carolina, has been re-elected, he having received more votes than all three *oi his opponents, Gov. Cole b, Blease, L. D. Jennings and W. P. fS&lpck.
