(Some Results of the Recent Primary Election (AS GLEANED BY EDITOR GLENN OF THE ANDERSON INTELLIGENCER. The biennial primary election usually brings about a &ood many changes, but judging by the results announced there have been a few more defeats of prominent men than usual. Some of the old time leaders in state politics have failed to win at the polls, and their faces in many instances wiH be seen no more in the councils of the party in Columbia. On the other hand a few of those who have been in forced retirement for years have demonstrated their ability to come back into official power. W. N. Graydon, who has represented Abbeville county at various times in the house and in the senate, was defeated for the house in the - I first primary. His place will be taken by Dr. G. A. Neuffer, a new man in politics, who was a delegate from the third congressional district to the democratic convention at St Louis last June. Barnwell county declined to return to the senate Dr. A. B. Patterson, who waged such a bitter fight against Governor Manning on account of the governor's asylum policy. Senator Patterson even attempted to put through the senate a joint resolution calling upon Solicitor Cobb to prosecute the governor for paying money out of his pocket to supplement the salary of Dr. Williams, superintendent of the asylum. The resolution received no support in the senate. | "I Can Goc || on my New Perfec |! a gas stove and cosi 11 Lights at the touc || flame stays high, i H turns out at once. 1 The New Perfectic I the stove with the & roasts, toasts, boils || fryspanything, an< a The long blue chir I odorless, even flame I tion, because it g I and puts the hea II needed.
