WHO THEY ARE.
i
Names of Candidates For Senate
and State Officers.
, CAMPAIGN NOW OPEN
There Are Five Candidate*' for the
United State* Senate, Two For
Governor, Three for Superintendent
of Kducatlon, Five for Railroad
Commissioner, and Only One for
vhcu oi cite utner Statu Offices.
The political campaign in this
State may be said to be fairly opeu ;
now, and soon it will be in full blast ,
from the mountain to the sea. The <
County Conventions meet on Monday, I
May 4, and the State Convention will
meet on May 20. Candidates are being
brought out by their friends, and
soon they will be all out. The candidates
for United States Senator are:
Messrs. O. B. Martin. John Gary
Evans, George Johnstone, E. D. i
Smith and D. C. Heyward. From ex- 1
pressions in the county press, it appears
to be the opinion that the race ,
is between Ex-Gov. Evans and ExGov.
Ueyward, but Mr. Martin seems
to object to the promulgation of this
opinion, and doubtless the other can- i
didates do also, but they do not express
themselves as does Mr. Martin.
Some Past History.
In 1902, when Messrs. Evans and
JohnBtone wore also candidates for
the senate, the vote in the flrst primary
stood:
William Elliott. 13,658.
John Gary Evans, 17,893.
J. J. Hemphill. 13,261.
D. 8. Henderson, 13,771.
Geo. Johnstone, 13,556.
A. C. Latimer, 22,971.
Total 95,110.
The second primary was between
Evans and Latimer, and in the second
election Mr. Evans received 3 6,371
votes and Mr. Latimer 53.890.
Mr. Latimer being elected by a ma- i
Jorlty of 17,519, over Mr. Evans. Mr.
Evans hhd been defeated for the sennte
by John L. McLaurln In 1R07 onH
again by Joseph H. Earle In 1896.
In the year 1902, Capt. Heyward
made his entry Into politics and the
vote In the first primary resulted as
follows:
D. C. Heyward. 36,551.
M. F. Ansel, ,17,685.
W. J. Talbert, 18,218.
J. H. Tillman, 16,398.
W. H. Tlmmerman, 6,515.
Total, 96.367.
,The second race was between Heyward
and Talbert aud the vote resulted:
Heyward, 50,830; Talbert.
40,494. Capt. Heyward being elected
by a majority of 10,336. In 1904
Gov. Heyward was re-elected without
opposition.
The year 1902, also saw the political
debut of Hon. O. B. Martin, who
In that year was tlrHt a candidate for
the office of state superintendent of
education against Hon. John J. McMahan,
receiving 48,850 votes against
4 5,891 for Mr. McMuhan. there being
only two couteBtants. Since then
Mr. Martin has not had opposition
for this office, being re-elected in
1904 and 1906.
The Gubernatorial Race.
The withdrawal of Mr. Featherstone
from the race for governor
leaves the Hon. C. L. Blease, senator
from Newberry, as the only candidate
against Gov. Ansel. Mr. Blease was
always a stalwart state dispensary
supporter nnd since that institution's
abolition ho has come out on an extended
local option platform. Gov.
Ansel on the other hand announced
his platform this year to bo restricted
locnl option, favoring a law making
the entire state prohibition with
the right to counties to exempt them
neives by majority voto and sell
whiskey through county dispensaries.
In 1906, whdh ho was elected governor,
Mr. Atllel favored the present
county option system, and in 1902,
when ho was defeated, he favored
the state dispensary as "the best solution
of the liquor question." Before
that time ho had been regarded, as a
prohibitionist. Mr. Ansel, while a
man of positive personal convicitons
has always been a close student of
popular sentiment anl his successive
platforms indicate the tren.d of public
opinion in this state fairly well
during the last few years. That the
prohlbitloists will be content to have
such a law enacted as Mr. Ansel now
advocates seems evident from Mr.
Featherstone's withdrawal.
Other State Offices.
Mr. Martin not. being a candidate
for re-election the way is open for
a new mnn in the office of State Superintendent
of Education. County
Superintendent of Kducation E. C. Klmore,
of Spartanburg, was the first
to announce and he lias made n nre
-- ? ?? ? "
llmlnary campaign. County Superintendent
S. R. Mellichamp. of Orange- |
burg, was next to announce and he j
has also done much work. Recently
Prof. J. E. Swearlngen, of Cedar '
Springs Institute announced his can- |
didacy. i
The office of railroad commissioner (
is always contested for. Commission- \
er Caughman's term expires and he i
is a candidate for re-election. So ,
far it is known that he will have opposition
from Mr. J. A. Snmraersett,
of Columbia, Major Flshburne, of
Charleston, Major H. W. Richardson, (
f Columbia, "Canzler of Tirzah," and f
perhaps others. j
It appears now that the other state .
officials will not have opposition. Sec- j
retary of State McCown, Attorney f
General Lyon, Comptroller General f
Jones, State Treasurer Jennings, Ad- a
jutant General Boyd. However, the c
campaign has JuRt started: and the s

WILI) ELEPHANT NUISANCE.
Hindustan Planters Complain of Damage
Done by Pachyderms.
At Calcutta, Tndia, the Doors Planters'
Association has appealed to the
government for help in ridding the
the cohntry of wild elephants, whose
pranks are becoming intolerable.
Though no actual ''rogues" are reported
or loss of life, crops are said
to be trampled on, fences torn down,
roofs pulled off. and many roads rendered
impassable by the patroling of
these mischievous pachyderms. The
most serious mat'er, however, is interruption
of railway tratlir, for the
brutes exhibit a queer predilection
for waudering on the line, which is
a narrow gauge, and therefore renders
the trains specially liable to derailment
should they meet an obstacle
when running at night or round
curves in the day time.
PICKED UP AT SEA.
Wrecked Off Charleston and Itescucd
by Yacht.
Tho steam yacht Columbia arrived
at New York from Florida on Tuesday
with three fishermen on board, rescued
from their sinking boat in n
gale off Charleston. The three men
sailed from Charleston in the fishing
smack Star on April 17. The next
day they were caught in a gale in
which the smack lost her mast and
most of her sails. When tho derelict
was sighted the sea was running so
high that tho Columbia could not
lower her boats. The yacht approached
the Star so near that ropes could
be thrown to the fishermen, who were
then hauled on board the Columbia
Their friends In Charleston had about
given them up as lost.
HEIRS OF GARRET SOX.
Information Wanted of a Captain in
the United States Army.
The Charleston Post says Postmaster
W. L. Harris has received a
letter from Attorneys Lyon & Lyon of
Washington, D. C., asking for Information
about heirs of one Charles
Gnrretson, a captain in the United
States army, who died in Charleston
in 1871. The letter states that
It is very much to the interest of the
heirs that they should be known and

A MONEY MAKER.
X>UNTY DISPENSARIES ARE MONEY
GETTING INSTITUTIONS.
Have IKiiip Alxxit Sumo HiiuIiiosn as
Former State Dl&pcusary With
Much More Profit.
During the quarter euding March
31 the county dispensaries sold
$790,964.01 worth of whiskey in
24 counties, of which one has sin?e
gone dry. On this business an average
profit of 39 per cent, was made,
the total profit being $268,941.98.
This is at the rate of over a million
dollars a year profit.
According to the statement recently
prepared by Comptroller General
Jones the state dispensary during Its
thirteen years of business paid into
the state treasury for all purposes the
sum of $1,515,107.57.
The proportion of profit paid to
the counties and towns varied at different
time, but the total profit of
the State dispensary, even when there
were dispensaries in forty-one counties
did not reach one million dollars
per year, or thirteen million dollars
in the years that it was in operation.
.According to the report made t.v
Dispensary Auditor West to Governor
Ansel at the close of the fiscal year
the total amount of sales by the
county dispensaries during the nine
and a fraction months they were
operated in 1907 was $2,691,663.4:'.,
on which the net profit declared was
$695,058.61.
The business for a full year, or 12
months, runs easily in excess of three
million dollars, which was the high
water mark for the state dispensary,
while tlie profit of the county dispensary
system for twelve months run*
in excess of one million dollars,
which the state dispensary never did
attain, though its founder predicted
it would.
Though there are now dispensarief
in only twenty-t'our counties the protit
from the county dispensary system
is proportionately so much greatei
that from the state dispensary, and i<
is distributed between the county and
towns, that as a revenue produce!
the county dispensary is going tc
prove more popular than the old system,
and for that reason, if for nc
other, it is more difficult to vote it
out than it was to close the countj
dispensaries under the so-called
Brice Act under the state dlspeusarj
regime, when prejudices and antag
onism to the state dispensary had
something to do with the large pro
hibltton vote cast in several counties
of the state.

As a result of a story circulated ir

to hide a ham. or even a ciEnrette

A dispatch from Blaekville to Tho
State uiys what is considered one of
he saddest accidents that ever hap>etied
there was the sudden death of
Miss lleaulah Gillam, caused by u
runaway horse. Miss Gillani and her
friend. Miss Alice Sojourner, were out
driving and had driven out on the
road to the Healing springs, a favorite
drive from Mlackville.
There were a number of buggies in
a line returning from the springs to
Black ville and a couple of young men
undertook to drive by Miss Sojourner's
horse, which was a very spirited
anitnal.
The horse commenced running and
soon got from under her control,
though she is an excellent driver.
Miss Gillam became very much excited
and jumped from the buggy,
striking her head.
She never regained consciousness
and died at. 2 p. m. Monday. Miss
Sojourner remained in tho buggy until
the horse struck a tree and threw
her out. She was very badly bruised
and Is confined to her bed. but her injuries
are by no means fatal.
Miss Gillam was adaught >r of Mrs.
M. Gillam. a widow, who Is proprietress
of the Hotel Blackville. Miss
Killam was milliner for Win. Morrison's
millinery establishment and was
a very popular young lady.
