CLOSE RACE BETWEEN CANSLER AND CAUGHMAN HEAVIEST VOTE EVER POLLED IN SECOND PRIMARY. Over One Hundred Thousand Votes Accounted For?Smith Leads by 27,000?Swearingen Wins Tho vote oast in the Democratic State primary Tuesday smashed more titan one record. Not only was Mr. John Gary Evans defeated by tho biggest majority which has ever been polled against him, but the total vote cast has exceeded by probably 20,000 the heaviest vote ever before cast in a second primary in South Carolina. It is probable that the total vote will approximate 104,000, and will therefore equal that of the first primary two weeks ago. Mr Smith, according to the returns on Thursday morning, leads Mr. Evans by 26,583 votes and is still gaining. His total vote stand* (53,328. against 36,745 for Mr. Evans. Not until tho official returns are tabulated will the result of the railroad commissioner's race be definitely known. Mr. Caughman is now loading Mr. Cansler by less than three hundred votes, but the unreported vote may easily put Cansler ahead. At. present the vote in this ocntest stands, Cansler 18,744 and Caughman 49,022. Mr. John E. Swearingen has a lead of more than 11,000 votes in the race for State superintendent of education, amd has, of 00111*86, won the nomination for this office. Congressman Finloy has been reelected in the 5th district, his vote standing 3,724 to Mr. Butler's 0,108. Mr. J. E. Elerbe lias been returned to Congress from the 6th district, U. S. SENATOR, SUPT.

The race betwe< Messrs. MeLauchlin and St oil for s licitor of the .'hi circuit is still vei ( Ipse, Mr. MeLauchlin now having small lead over Mr. Stoll. In the race for the United Stall senate it. will be noted that Mr. E ans has so far gained less than t< thousand votes over the vote \vhi< he received in the first primary, tv weeks ago, at which time lie polk 27,584 votes. Mr. Smith, in the fir: primary, received 30,012 votes. 11 gain, therefore, has been more tlui 33,000 votes, or nearly as great as tl total vote received by M.\ ICvans. Mr. Evans had nothing to say f< publication, but stated Hhat ho woul probably issue a full statement aft< the meeting of the State executh committee, which is to be held ne: Tuesday. Mr. Evans does not thin that Gen. Jones treated him fairl in warning election managers not t use tickets which had Mr. Kvatu name in larger type than those < other candidates.
