Dr. White- 1 head is an experienced dentist, and an expert workman. He knows the business and his charges are reasonable. Give Dr. Whitehead a trial. PeUon to Incorporate. The town of Pelioa is soon to become incorporated. An election will be held on September 3 to vote on the proposition and to elect a mayor and four aldermen. This is a step in the right direction. This town has had a phenomenal growth daring the last few years; and there are many new residences going up today. A town with churches and schools can ill afford to be without police protection, and we congratulate Pelion upon the step she is about to take.

Tbe election in the county yesterday 1 passed off quietly, although the great- tre. est interest prevailed. With practic- sho ally all of the vote heard from, it seems mo that Frank W. Shealy has been re- &c electied Clerk of the Court over his Ant three opponents by a safe majority, cur 3im J. Miller has been elected sheriff Ide aver his two opponents by a good eve rote, and W. D. Dent has been re- = / sleeted auditor by a handsome majority jy | over Hayes and Wingard. It appears jn> al90 that C. E. Corley and George A. j Shealy are the leading candidates for supervisor and will make the second ra0 pace. Senator Crosson and W. H. bot 3ha:rpe Esq., will run oyer for the p0S senate. E. L. Wingard and D. J. S. cesi Derrick run over for treasurer. Hoi- ar(j yl L. Harman and M. P. Lindler are jorj in the second race for superintendent of education. John W. Smith and W. but L. Addy are in the lead for county bet com missioners and are probably elect- r[ 3d. Warren Weed and Joseph M. CJaughman will be in the second race for coroner, it is thought. Ii For House of Representatives E. L. C Lybrand is elected on the first ballot. J Messrs. Addy, Edwards, Malpass and Shuler are leading, with a probability E cf Mr. Towill gaining enough votes s ever Mr. Shuler to get in the second "V race. ? J Blease Leading Jones, ? Winner Uncertain J B With probably the largest vote in the history of South Carolina Demo- g era tic primaries polled yesterday, the ? result of the race for the governor ? - ? J r? 4- o n ft O vl TT ~r uorsnip was suu ui uuuuc ou ?xi co.x*? j hour this morning. Returns received j up to 3 a. m. showed the two leading j candidates for governor running neck and neck, with Gov. Cole L. Blease 107 votes ahead of Judge Ira B. Jones, his chief opponent, with ma:,y ^ precincts, including nearly the whole *8U cf the big Charleston city clubs, still 8 bo be heard from. This is probably the closest race in the history of South Carolina primaries. ure The race for United States senator i was far less exciting, B. R.

It is almost certain that there will be a second race for this j office, with Lyon and Peeples in the at J points. Sei For state treasurer S. T.
