BLACK EYE FOR TILLMAN AND DISPEN
SARY-ANSEL AND LYON LEADING.
Columbia, S. C., August 28.-Scatter
ing returns from to day's Democratic
primary indicate that M. F. Ansel will
lead the ticket for Governor, with Rich
ard I. Manning and Cole L. Blease dose
together for the second place.
For Attorney General J. Fraser Lyon
has a large lead over his opponents in
spite of Senator Tillman's bitter opposi
tion.
K. M. McCowu, for Secretary of State,
and J. C. Boyd, for Adjutant General,
will probably be elected on first ballot.
J. H. Wharton and J. A 3ummersett
will probably run over for Railroad Com
missioner. I
Other State officers have no opposition.
The election of Ansel and Lyon means
defeat for ide State dispensary and Sena
tor Tillmrvii.
Tillman has no opposition, but is being
largely scratched.
While Man Fatally Shot by Negro.
A fatal shoot in?; affray occurred three
miles below Kingstree, S. C., last Wed
nesday night, in which W. O. Jones lost
his life at the bands of Primus Salt?is,
colored. It appears that Jones, Loo
Wise and Salters had been drinking dur
ing the day at Wise's house and towards
eveuing, the whiskey giving out, they
sent off to the dispensary at Kingstree
for a fresh supply. When this came the
drinking was renewed and all bauds be
came drunk. It was not long before the
threo beoamo involved in a free fight and
Jones was shot in tho stomach by Salt
ers at close range with small shot. The
wound is a horrible one and the doctors
say he cannot live through the night.
Wise and Jones are white men and Salt
ers is a negro. Both men have been
lodged in jail.
Tom Miller Remains at Colored College.
Columbia, August 27.-Thos. E. Miller
will romain at the head of the State Col
ored College at Orangeburg, as is the
wish of every white and colored friend of
that institution, which was born in bis
brain, given life through his work and
made a success by his untiring and un
ceasing efforts. This result was arrived
at at a meeting of the trustees of that
institution, at which every member but
one was present.
The trustees, without exception, re
quested President Miller to withdraw
his resignation, which he did because he
was requested to do so by white and col
ored peoplo in nearly every county of
tho State. He made his fight for high
morality in schools, but, regardless of
tho conduct of the two women teachers,
their white friends in Charleston re
quested their retention and the trustees
yielded to this pressure from Charleston
and retained thom.
President Miller said that he felt that
he owed something to tho two iae.es
which had been so loyal to tho institu
tion and himself in tho past ton years,
hence he yielded to their request. Ho
thanks ovory nowspaper in tho State,
white and colored, that has sustained
him in this fight, and will continue to do
his very best for the interests of the
school as long as he is at its hoad.
