Campaign Liar vs. Candidate Now, Hint llio campaign is on ' between the second-race candi- i dates, it is not unexpected (hut base charges nre being circulated by the opponents of the different aspirants. lint tiie first to reach us, and the one in which wo are mostly interested, is a roviynl of the old campaign lio launched against Mr. T. (?. Culp, while lie was making tho race for county supervisor two years ago. It is understood Hint Mr. Gulp's opponents in Rock Hill, and probably elsewhere, are spreading the report that during his term of office two years ago Mr. Gulp ap-1 pointed a negro in this township i as overseer upon a certain stretch 1 of highway in preference to a until her of white men who were subject to duty upon that piece of road, and that the white citizens, rather than w>rk under a negro overseer, paid t! $2 commutation and left that immediate vicinity. It was hoped by Mr. Gulp's; many friends here and throughout the cpnuty that tin) matter had been thoroughly explained and amicably settled. Hut pot so?the charga has brokpn out anew, ami it becomes the duty <>f each and all his friends to rise and denounce the accusation as untrue. In justice to Mr Gulp, and for the benefit of those who nre not familiar with the circumstance from which t lie charge was created, The Times gives it briefly and in full: Two years ngo Mr. Gulp, who hold the postiou of county supervisor, was notified that a section of the Charlotte road, north of; in _ i * !!! ??1 run inui, was without an overseer and was asked to name a suitable , U'.an for the place, Mr. Culp investigated the matter and found that the only white residents who lived upon tho highway were two men who were employees of the Fort Mill Mfg. Company and rather than lose the time from their mill work had paid their road tax Then, what remained for Mr. Culp but to select tho ablest of tho colored men and nppoint him overseer? This he did, and almost instantly was heard a howl that Mr. Culp had appointed a negro as overseer over a crowd of white men. The accusation was not only untrue but was made with the express view of damaging the candidate jn his race for re election, and whether this was tho moans of his defeat Tbe Times is unable to say, but if such it was, tho voters of York county rejected one of tho ablest and most industrious officers tho commonwealth has had in ? 1 * 1 jrijia U(J<III (I Uliar^U WHICH was utterly false and without foundation. The author of this unholy false hood was a citizen of Iloek Hill find at present resides in or near ' tlint city, and the following ex j tract, taken from an article upon the subject in The Times of September f>th, 1(.KK), would seem to i justify one in asserting that the | chargo was worthy of the man. It | says: "Voters of Rock Hill and other sections of the county where tliis untrue report is being circulated will know how much credence to j place in it when they learn that it was started by a man who was suppeotcd of robbing a store in ! this place a few months ago,". John J. McMahan, State superintendent of education, doublets learned Friday how he could sit in his office and defeat O. 13. Martin, which boast be is said' to have inade repeatedly prior to .the election, t,u? 1 he Primary and Its Results, An election return which came in as slow as that of last week's primary, if such vas ever the cusp, is not rernenihereii by the ohler residents of tiiis section. All day Wednesday the voters of t his township eagerly awaited s ?nie news of j the result, hut without reward except tlm.ujrli the inonore returns < in the eounly papers which came in on the evening train at 8.40. j The returns Thursday were more prompt and with the close of the day it was learned who were like- : ly to he the successful aspi- ) rants to the various oilices. Not until Friday were the returns com pleted, and many were the sur ?i... f....i . ..r ?i... ,iar. .. mrn n? iu?* uirnu.i m till* uilli'l out candidates. In tlio returns from the senaterial vote Latimer lead throughout with Evans, Hemphill and Henderson running neek and neck for the second place. When the returns from the rural districts be^nn to arrive it was seen that Evans' chances wore brij^htonintf. and when the final count was made he was the possessor of soino three thousand more votes than his nearest competitor. Latimer and Evans will therefore make a second race. The latter has decidedly the best chances of success, notwithstanding Latimer's heavy lead in the first primary. Evans will : ^?*t much more support from the four defeated candidates than Lat imer can and will pull in winner by a nood majority, lie lias more ' strength in the lower and middle sections of the State and as much in the upper section. In the race for governorship Hey ward took n long lead with i'nibort, Ansel and Tilhnan follow- j ing in a hunch for second place, j With ureal anxiety to know, it was 1 for a long time impossible to say whether Talbert or Ansel would uet into the second race with Hoyward, hut Thursday's return dis closed the fact that Talbert had received more votes than Ansel and the second race is therefore between Hey ward and Talbert. Supporters of both candidates now profess to believe that their man will beat in the second race, but with such a lead as Ileyward has his chances for election are by far more promising than Tnlbert's. In ; the second primary it is doubtless true that a majority of the votes cast for the three other candidates , will u? h> Talbert, but when it. is ! remembered that Tillman's vote in | the first primary was made up1 principally of farmers and cotton . r?;il 1 tl._? 41... f--_ - i in jh uj;ic, nuii i um tut" mi mm , when the next election comes off 1 will be busily engaged in the cotton and hay crop, while the votes of the latter class in the tir.st election were east mainly because of interest in tho election of some local candidate, it will bo seen that the percentage of decrease in the vote is in Hey ward's favor. The vote in the tirst primary two years | ago was 92,000, while that of the second election was only 00 odd thousand. Cards of thanks have been received by numerous Fort Mil! voters from county and State candidates for their suffrage in the tirst primary. Among the nnmboi is one from Col, dim Tillman, in which he advises his friends to vote in the second election against any man who is supported by ' N. (i. Gonzales, editor of The State. Col. dims Fort Mill friends i Will till I'd I J filllow III j ndi'ii.J in ' ' J " ?*? ? *.? 'II I tin' mutter oh some have already j pledged themselves to vote for Onpt. 1 ley ward. A party of local Jim Tillmntiitos while discussing issues a few days ago agreed that if Tillman does not give Gonzales a liekin' they will never vote for him again. Too had to he disappointed, boys, but Col. Jim doesn't seem to have been out out for a scrapper.

Tl is said by old politicians that no candidate for a State office lias ever before been tendered such an endorsement by his home people as that niven Cttpt. Heyward in the lirst primary by the people of Colleton county. He yot 2.258 votes against 135 for the other four candidates?or % votes out of every 100 east. This is all the more remarkable when it is remembered that Colleton has heretofore been very seriously divided politically. It is a magnificent testimonial to Heyward by the people who know him best. In addition to their votes the farmers of Colleton, hundreds of them, of every kind and class, the followers of Hen Tillman nnd Shep- . nnrd nnd H iikL'i'II linvu aiiriiurl thiol I ' "'h'" v' v?<?o address to the fanners of South Carolina: "State of South Carolina, county of Colleton. "We, the undersigned, farmers of Colleton county, hereby endorse Capt. D. C. Hey ward for governor in the next primary, and earnestly urge the farmers throughout the State to vote for him. Capt. Hey ward has been a practical fanner all his life, and is therefore, thoroughly acquainted with our condition and needs. From our inti- i mate knowledge of him as a man, of his high character and emi-! nent ability, we feel that we can ! cons -ientiously commend him to you ns one worthy of your suffrage, and earnestly request you to give him your enthusiastic support."

The vote would undoubtedly have been heavier but for the bad wheather. 1 Barron, Hailo, Beamguard and Me.Gain were elected to the Jjegis- | latere. Crawford and Stanton are elected county commissioners.. Cordon is defeated of re-election as supervisor. A second race will bo necessary between Boyd and On In. Williams is easily re-eloetod auditor over both competitors. Finley has a majority for congress, over all competitors, of more than 1,300, in York county.
