It was decided that tlio time for hearing protests would be at a future meeting of the committee, w.hich date would be decided after the tabulation of the statements of the results of the boxes had been tabulated according 10 the managers' reports.

The News and Courier of Thursday summarizes the legislative situation as follows: Additional and more complete returns from races in practically all of the coun ties of the State are presented by The News and Courier this morning. A second primary will be necessary in so many counties for members of the House of Representatives that It is impossible at this time to forecast with and degree of accuracy the complexion of the next Leg islature. In Orangeburg, for instance only one Representative, a Jones supporter, was 'nominated on the first liallot, while the second race will be made by candidates, au 01 wnom ueciuruu on uic t>iuniji 101 wic former Chief Justice. In Anderson, a full 151cii.se delegation, including "Josh" Ashley, was chosen aiul only two candidates on the 131ea.se ticket, for other Anderson County offices, failed of election. Dr. Olin Sawyer, a prominent supporter of the Governor, was defeated for re-elec tion in Georgetown, and in Horry, the 15lease candidate fur the Senate, Repre sentative L. 15. Singleton, appears to have been beaten by Hul L. Buck. Thomas F. McDow, anti-Blea.se, has been elected to the Senate from Voi le, and Sen ators llobert Lide, of Orangeburg, and Howard 15. Carlisle, of Spartanburg, both also anti-Kloaso, were re-elected. "Hub" Evans, who formerly served in the House from Newberry, is in a second race with Representative Wye lie. George 11. ltembert, Governor Mease's leader in the House, and Alva II. Lump kin, opposed to the Governor, are elected in Kichlaml. Tins remaining placid will be lilled by a second primary. Former Speaker Mendel L. Smith has been re turned to the House from Kershaw, and Senator Ohiiatensen, of Iteaufort, retains his seat, having defeated his opponent, Thomas Talbird, a Mease man. lTED How the State Went in 1910 Feathorstone.
