T?ev S L Wilson of Seneca preached in the Williamsburg church Sunday morning and evening. Rev Henry Cauthen deferred his morning sermon until 4 p. m.,so as not to conflict with the Presbyterian services. At both services the Williamsburg church was crowded and Mr Wilson preached excellent sermons. We understand that an effort is being made to combine the Williamsburg church with two other Presbyterian churches ?CeDtrallaDd Union?and to offer Mr Wilson the pastorate of the charge thus formed. It is to be hoped that the plan will succeed and that we may have Mr Wilson and hie family as citizens of Kingstree.

Total Vote Received by Each Candidate j ?Executive Committee Proceedings At the time we went to press last Thursday we were unabh j to give the compl ete official re turns for the second primary, ow ing to the fact that up to thai hour no returns had come ir from two precincts, viz, Oal Ridge and Poplar Hill. Latei in the day Oak Ridge was heard from and the vote tromthatpoL i added to the official score. Af : ter waiting till 4 o'clock p. m., ! the time limit prescribed by the rules, Poplar Hill was counted out and the official result de clared as follows: Congress?Eilerbe 1270, Rags ; dale 735. House of Representatives? Stoll 1136, Wall 879. Treasurer?Johnson 1183 Baldwin 824. Supervisor?Graham 1234 Chandler 755. Coroner?Gamble 1038, Burrows 963. County Commissioner?Blake ley 1465, Eaddy 1293, Fitch 1233, The belated returns from Pop lar Hill were brought in Saturday by Manager F Marion Brit j ton, Sr., who started to bring 1 them up Thursday but found the ! road impassable and after stren uous endeavor to make his waj over obstacles that barred the road, was forced to turn back. For the benefit of those concerned we give the vote from this poll, which, to obtain the total vote actually received by each candidate in the county, may be added to the figures given above: Railroad Commissioner?Earle 34, Mobley 21; Congress?RagsHal MO Fllerhe 25: House of Representatives?Stoll 34, Wall 21; Treasurer?Johnson 48, Baldwin 7; Supervisor?Graham 11, Chandler 44; Coroner?Burrows 24, Gamble 31; County Commissioner?Blakeley 46, Pitch 22, Eaddy 42. It will be noted that this vote had it been received in time would not have affected the official results. EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE MEETING After the votes were tabulated the following- candidates were declared elected, each having-received a majority of the votes cast in the second primary: House of Representatives, P H Stoll; County Supervisor, J J Graham; County Treasurer, G W Johnson; Coroner, R K Gamble; County Commissioners, R D Blakeley and A R Eaddy. It was announced by the chairman that Mr W M Smith had withdrawn from the second race, and for that reason his name was left off the ticket as a candidate for county commissioner in the second primary. It having been brought to the attention of the committee that Mr William Cooper had received a plurality of the votes cast for the office of county superintendent of education in the first primary and that through an error in the addition it appeared that Mr TOlin Epps was elected and the result had been so declared, a motion was made and unanimously carried that the committee rescind its action declaring the election of Mr Epps and that | Mr Cooper be declared the J nominee of the party. Incidentally the chairman stated ' that as soon as the error was made public Mr Epps had written to him saying that he be lieved Mr Cooper to have been fairly elected and relinquishing all claim to the office. The treasurer submitted his report to the committee showing i receipts and disbursements ol j the campaign and the balance left on hand. It was moved and ordered that this balance, aftei paying all approved olaims, he carried over to the next electior i as the nucleus of a fund to paj I m o n n /raro f Ar Vinlrlinff f" Vl. j me maua^cio iui iiviuiu^ v**> | primary of 1900.

BURGLARS CRACK THE POSTOFFICE I SAFE AND SECURE NEARLY $5,000. * No Cine to the Robbers Who are J Evidently Old and Experienced Hands. : The most daring" and successI ful burglary in the history of 1 Kingstree was committed here last night. The postoffice was i broken into, the safe blown : open with high explosives and 1 rifled of its contents, the money and other articles stolen approx imating $5,(X)Um value, ut tms amount the principal loss is a registered package containing - $4,000 belonging to the Bank of Kingstree. This money was , shipped from Charleston last night and is fully covered by , insurance in transit. The ballance stolen includes postoffice funds ammounting to $260.63 cash and about $150 in stamps, also nearly $500 worth of jew. elry and other articles of value belonging to the postmaster. The burglary is evidently the work of old and experienced ; hands. There is absolutely no : clue to the robbers, who accom plished the deed about 3 o^lock r a. m. and had ample time to es? cape by daylight. Several persons nearby the scene heard two distinct explosions in the night, i but had no idea of what was I taking place. A sledge-hammer, i a cold chisel and a monkey ! wrench, stolen from J T Sulli: van's blacksmith shop, were i left nearby piled before the door of the shattered safe.

THE SCHOOL BEGINS ANNUAL SESSION WITH FUTTERING PROSPECTS ' Trustees, Patrons and Friends Assent' ble in the Beautiful New Building On Opening Day-.Int eresting Program. The Kingstree Graded school commenced its annual Session Monday with most flattering prospects. With a moderrf ana commodious building, well equipped with up-to-date furniture and fixtures, and an able and enthusiastic faculty, the' trustees and patrons and friends of the school assembled with the pupils in the auditorium on the -i il i a J _ opening aay witn no sman degree of pride and enthusiasm. Kingstree has been striving for a number of years to have a gradedschool which would be first class in every particular, and at last we have it, so it is no wonder that so many met to give words of cheer to teachers and pupils on the first day of the school year. Supt. Bethea believes in cooperative work and invited parents and public to be present at the auditorium Monday morning at 10 o'clock to take part in the opening ceremonies. An appropriate programme had been arranged and the consensus of opinion is that much good will result from the public opening of the school. The chief feature of the exercises was the spirit of harmony and progressiveness manifested by all those who spoke. The progr imme w; s as follows: Song: America. Prayer, by Rev S L Wilson. Addresses by Supt P P Bethea, Mayor C W Stoll, Capt Edwin Harper, (.'apt Jno. A Kelley and Rev Henry Cauthen. Supt Bethea spoke principally of co-operation between parents and teachers. He showed conclusively that the parents have a large part to do in the education of their children and that unless they assist the teachers the work of education can not be successfully carried on. Mr Stoll spoke in behalf of the town council. He welcomed the teachers to Kingstree and stated the past policy of the council tog ward the school and told the purpose of the present council. Kingstree is the leading educational center of the county and must always be. Capt Harper spoke in behalf of the trustees. He said Kingstree was usually divided in politics, sometimes divided in the churchs, but on education we stood as a unit. He pledged the hearty support of the trustees. Capt Kelley spoke in glowing terms of Kingstree's great achievement in erecting so hand some a building and maintain | ing such a splendid school. He also gave a history of the school here for the past fifteen years. Rev Henry Cauthen said that the school was the right arm of the church and showed how religion and education went hand in hand. The future of our country depends on the children being given a christian education. This closed the public exerciises, with a benediction by Rev W H Hodges. The faculty this year is as follows: Supt P P Bethea will teach the 9th and 10th grades; ' Prof E P Hallman will teach the 7th and 8th grades; Miss Tribble the 5tli and 6th grades; Miss i Monroe the 3rd and 4th grades; , | Miss Erckmann the 1st and 2nd. The enrollment was the larg' est in the history of the school, i there being about 160 pupils enrolled up to this time, nearly 20 i per cent more than at the beginning of the last session. M. B.
