Aiken, Sept. 16.-With all the votes of the district in, with the ,ontest in Aiken and Hampton dismisqed James F. Byrnes, for two years solicitor in the Second circuit, is elected to con gress by the small plural-y of 58 votes. The contest was a varm one, and the exact result of the primary was not known until every co-tnty bad made the official count. After hearing the contest in Aiken this morning. the executive comn'ttee dismiscd tt.e protest and declared the result of the election as ian%as;ed yesterday, which gave Byrnes in this county 2,153, and Patterson 1,236, thus ending one of the most remarkable campaigns ever experienced in tis district. Protest Dismissed. The committee met this morning at 10 o'clock to hear the evidence an the charge made yesterday by counsel for 3. 0. Patterson, as to fraud and bribery at the Langley box. The protestants put up only one wit ness, V. D. Kelley, of Gloverille, who testified that he received two one dollar bills for casting his vote for Byrnes, Fallaw, Cleckly, Marchant and Blease. He explained in de,ail who gave it to him and under what circum stances. declaring that he. did it so that he could come up and tell about it. The witness was not taken seriously, and he provoked a hearty laugh all over the court room by his vivid recol lection of the incidents of election day. His testimony was practically annull ed, so far as weight was concerned, when he said in reply to a qrestion from Mr. Byrnes' counsel, that he had not worked for three years and tht his mother supported him. He said: he was sick, though he looked very hearty. Witnesses Missing. C. E. Sawyer, counsel for Patterson, said that he could produce no more witnesses. They had promised him to come to Aiken to testify, he said. Mr. Sawyer, in his argument, made the point that he did not care who was elected corrgressman, but that he wanted to see cleaner elections in this county, and besought the committee to begin a campaign of cleaner politics by making an object lesson of this county. D. S. Henderson made a clear and impressive argument on behalf of Mr. Byrnes, and immediately after he was seated a motion to dismiss the pro test was made and carried unanii mnously, as to the Langley, Graniteville and Montmorenci boxes and the official result was declared.

To the Editor of The State: I want to thank, most heartily, the: South Carolina Democrats who sup *ported me in the recent primary, andf tc assure them that I appreciate, more than I can express, their unwavering Toyalty. I am fully conscious of the fact that' in the last primary I drew my sup port from various sources. The prohibitionists supported me, almost to a man. Thousands of local optionists gave me their support for personal reasons. To them all I de sire to express my sincere and hearty appreciation. i: have been defeated for the office -which I sought; but viewed from an 'other standpoint I have not suffered *.teeat. I am conscious of the fact tfiat I made a clean, honest, manly fight. I advocated what I thought wa right, that which I thought to be best: for the State which I love. I did not engage in personal abuse. Not one* word did I say against my opponent. I fought for a principle and in the true~ sense my failure to be elected can not' be called defeat. To say that I am not disappointed would not be true, b.t I can say, in all truthfulness, that I accept the re sult in the best spirit possible. I am not disgruntled. I am not sore.
