SKIT. 8. 1010. , ? The Tell-Tale Figures. There is au old saying that "figk, ures do not lie." The recent el.;c. tion has impressed us with the wisdom of the proverb. A careful study of the election returns shows that Evans and Cansler received their largest vote in the counties that gave Blease the largest majority, while in those 3ame counties I Hampton's vote was correspondingly smaller, with the exception of Richland, Spartanburg and Anderson. Richland is Hampton's home county and it was quite natural that he should receive a majority vote In his own county, but the only explanation that can be given as to ' *??? ?nt? in Snartanbura and Ander son is that Blease, Evans and Cansler was too big a dose for those counties to swallow. The records of Blease and Evans are known to the voters of the state. Blease stood sponser for the dispensary at a time when the Institution had become so corrupt that even the most rabid followers of Tillman had turned away from it in disgust. The object of Evans' campaign was to arouse state-wide prejudice against Lyon and to shift public sentiment over to the side of the alleged dispensary grafters whose cases are now pending in the courts. As a private citizen there is nothing against Cansler's record, so f$r as The Herald knows, but everybody who attended the state campaign meetings read Cansler's I character like an open book by the absurd and ridiculous methods he (practised to arouse the enthusiasm ct his hearers. I!!a conduct was In striking contrast to the frank, dignified and manly manner in whlc Hampton conducted himself. Blease, Evans and Cansler. Each may object to being put in a class with the other, but the records is against them as the voters in tt"> first primary have already bunchec them. Watch the vote in the second pri* mary and the line-up will be the i same, of course with the exception of Evans, who is lucky enough this mt time to escape such an embarrass tag situation. ?* A gentleman remarked some days ago that If Blease were elected he would leave the state and locate in T Horry. In the list of counties that gave Blease the smallest vote Dillon was # third. With such evidence as this before us we still believe that Dillon la the best county in the state. "Town building," says Collier's, 1"la very much like college foot-ball, where a dozen of the students do all the Dlavlns while the nthara alt In the grandstand and look on." IvThe only difference la the studenia J -heip out with the cheering, hut when the {peps-bullders make a "tourh' down "the other half of the populatlon take theirs oat In cnaaing. It is generally conceded that Klwilt he returned to con grew. \ct quite, a number of people IX 8th district are disappoint ed because Ellerbe was not noml- ! nated In tbe first primary, thus j avoiding a useless and unnecessary !1 expense. There Is very little doubt but that he will beat his -opponent by a good safe majority. Out of the 16000 voteB cast In the district Ellerbe failed of nomination by only 700, and It would be a most j unusual circumstance in South Car ; t ollna politics if he should fail to in- !1 creaso his lead by that many votes 11 in the second primary. Mr. Hodges j f has made a strong fight, but he has j only one chance iu a thousand of i i winning on the 13th. I ' !"

It is stated that i a little boy arose one morning and 1 found smutty streaks across his face i and brow and on the bed clothing where he had slept. His little sis- : ter, who occupied the same room. noticed the smutty places on her j hands and face and was puzzled to understand the matter. Later, as the bed was being made, a large black snake fell from the pillow to the floor. The snake had crawled i on the roof of the house and down au old stove flue, falling from this ( to the bed where the children had , slept. When the little folks learn- ; ed that a big snake had crawled over them during the night, they j set up a yell that made things lively for a while.?Wadesboro Ansotnlan. Card from Mr. Ellerbe.

' Again expressing my deep appreciation for the nearly eight thousand votes given me in the first pri- : mary, I am. yours truly, J. E. Ellerbe ? ? , A customer called In The Rank of Dillon a few days ago and in his hand were several small pieces of paper money and asked the cashier if It was any good and if it could nosnihlv lu> , J WfcClUCI bo it, would pass allright. The cash- ; ier took the money and- sent it to the Treasnrer of the United States, 1 Washington, f>. C., and asked him what he could do for the poor fellow. He sent a new five dollar bill in the place, this money was mutl-' listed by rats Moral The new Bank of Dillon is rat proof. ?; Hot pillows will sometimes serve ' to cure s nervous headache.' / :s y\ f . 4 ,21 MALLORY MATTERS.

P Ed Collins attended the meeting I n Florence on Monday of the ru- E al letter carriers of Florence and I learby counties. Mr. Collins only ecently became carrier for the one oute from this place but during bis hort service he has made good. Miss Stella Odom brought her vist to au end on Monday and returnid to her home in Bennettsville to he disappointment of the young >eople here. Will Parham and Herbert Galoway went to Latta on Monday to >e present at the opening of the ichool there. T. C. Parham returned on Sunday light rroui Georgia where lie spent ast week.

' Scott were in Marion on Friday. tj The elections resulted very sat- 2 isfactorily and it may not be out of place to congratulate our officers L upon this second flattering recog- K nitlon of their fitness for the sever- P al positions to which they were chos | en in the first election. I We couldn't well hide our dis- 1 appointment at the result of the 'i race for governor but it was consol- C ing to know from the vote that so , many of Dillon county people thunk 5 through the same quill.

It's a safe bet that none of our South Carolina banks have the pleasure of cashing any of these checks. Sane men with eyes wide open don't deliberately butt their heads up 4 against stone walls. We're gladI that we of this state don't have that sort of humiliation to endure. But Gee! our local politics is a funny brand itself.
