(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.
