I As The Times goes to press . i this (Wednesday) afternoon the I third of a series of ball games , between Monroe, N. C., and I Fort Mill is in progress on the local grounds. The game of Monday, princi' pally a comedy of errors, resulted in a victory for Fort Mill by a score of 5 to 1. The bat; teries were: Monroe, Stevens and i Howard; Fort Mill, Price and Parks. Tuesday's game was more inI teresting, both teams at times | appearing to have the game cinched. In the last inning, , however, Fort Mill sent two men i over the plate and again took the ; game, the score being 7 to 5. I The batteries were: Monroe, j Worley and Crow; Fort Mill, ; Barron and Parks. The Gubernatorial Election of 1906. Of the eight candidates for governor in 1906, Messrs. Ansel and Blease are again aspirants ; for the office, and it will be inj teresting to study the vote of 1906. Mr. Ansel, who had been a candidate in 1902, ran in 1906 as an opponent of the State dispensary system. Mr. Blease defended the State dispensary as it stood, and Mr. Manning stood for the State dispensary system purified. Mr. Brunson was for State prohibition. Personal popularity and place of residence cut little or no figure in the gubernatorial election of 1906. Personally the most popular man in the race, and as clean as any other, Mr. Manning was unable to stem the tide against the State dispensary. It is therefore interesting to note some features of the vote of 1906. In Richland, the canitol coun ty, which had two candidates in the race, Ansel received 1,020 votes to 2,287 for all other candidates; Manning receiving 571 and Blease 938. In Greenville, the home of Ansel, he received 3,372 against 1,984 for all others. In Sumter, the home of Manning, he received 1,091 to 757 for all others. In Newberry, home of Blease, he received 1.020 against 1,285 for for all others. Newberry had another candidate in the race who received only 117 votes in his own county. ] In the first primary, Mr. Ansel received 39,131 votes, and his nearest competitor, Mr. Manning, received 23,208, while Mr. Blease, third man in the race, received 16,672. Mr. Brunson, the prohi- i bition candidate, received 10,463. The vote in the second primary brought out more squarely the alignment between the dispensary and anti-dispensary forces, as the fight was solely on that issue. There were 84,645 votes cast for governor, of which Mr. Ansel received 47,556, and Mr. Manning received 37,089, a majority for Mr. Ansel of 10,467 votes. This year it is different to a great extent. Senator Rlonso 1 stands for the present system as enunciated on the stump by him, while Governor Ansel stands for a State prohibition law, with privilege to counties to vote in the sale of liquor. But the liquor issue is not the sole issue this : year, and the second term idea, | personal records and qualifications and other matters enter into the proposition now before the people.
