VOTE WAS HEAVY The Relative Studiag #f the Candidates Remain Unchanged. STATUS OF THE COUNT RleaM Lends for Governor with 33,864, Against Featherstone's 21), 804.?How the Other Candidates lUn, and Who Will be in the Second Primary on Tuesday Week. In the ?ace for Governor. Cole L. Blease. of Newberry, has maintained a lead over his nearest opponent, C. C. Featherstone. of Laurens. The relative standing of the six candidates for Governor has not been changed since early Tuesday night. Thos. G. McLeod hold third place, John G. Richards fourth, F. H. Hyatt fifth, and John T. Duncan sixth. The total vote in the first primary will no doubt reach 105,400, somewhat to the surprise of many who expected a much lighter vote. The rains of the Pee-Dee and Piedmont apparently had little effect in keeping the voters from the polls. Spartanburg was the banner county, polling over 8,000 votes. The voting was lightest in the coast counties where the terrific rains of Monday had put the roads in such condition as to de- , tain many from the polls. ^ ? Tn the race for Governor, Cole L. Blease has 33,364, while C. C. Featherstone has 29,964, a lead of 3,400, the latter having more than a 4,000 1 lead over Thos. G. McLeod. Tne to tal vote of the other three aspirants amounts to about 16,000. 'Cole L. Blease, for Governor, carried the counties of Aiken, Auderson. Barnwell, Berkeley, Calhoun, Cherokee, Dorchester, Fairfield, Horry, Laurens, Lexington, Newberry, Pickens. Richland, Saluda, Union and York. C. C. Featherstone carried 'he counties of Abbeville, Colleton, Greenville, Greenwood, Hampton, Lancaster, Marion. Marlboro, Oconee, Orangeburg and Spartanburg. T. G. McLeod received a plurality in the counties of Beaufort, Charleston, Chester, Chesterfield, Clarendon, Darlington. Dillon, Florence. Georgetown, Lee, Sumter and Williamsburg. For Lieutenant Governor, Charles A. Smith, of Timmonsvllle, is elected, receiving 68,906 votes to 44,001 for E. W. Duvall, a majority of nearly 15,000. For Attorney General, J. Fraser Lyon's vote is 72,585, while that of B. B. Evans is 27,574, Mr. Lyon being easily re-elected. It appears that both candidates were freely scratched. Col. W. W. Moore, of Barnwell, and Capt. J. M. Richardson, of Aiken, will make the race again for Adjutant General. The most interesting contest in the entire list is the neck and neck race between Hampton and Scarborough to determine who shall make the race with James Cansler for railroad commissioner. About 138 votes seperate the two, Hampton leading with 22, 634 to Scarborough's 22,496. Can- ' Bier's big lead is 40,896, being 16,323 over bis nearest competitor. Of the five Congressional contests, three were settled by Tuesday's primary, Msesrs. Legare, Flnley and Lever having been re-elected over their opponents. Second primaries will be held In the 2d district between Messrs. J. F. Brynes and J. O. Patterson, incumbent, and in the 6th between Messrs. J. B. Ellerbe. incumbent, and P. A. Hodges. For the second Democraltc primary there will be five races, two fo? Congress and those for Governor. Adjutant General and railroad commissioner. In a large majority of the counties there are to ,bd contests for county offices, many of them for the Legislature, but whother ot not these are of sufficient interest and Importance to cause a large v -.te remains to be seen.

Seaboard Fast Mail Runs Into Washout In Georgia. The Columbia Record says the Seaboard Fast Mail, set down on the time tables as yussenger train 66, ("rom Jacksonville ?o New York, had left Savannah en route to Columbia and beyond. The night had brought to the Georgia coast counties the heaviest rain In years, the precipitation exceeding eight inches. At Exley, a flag stop 1C miles north of Savannah, the locomotive plunged into a washout, with fatal results to engineer Fred Pierce and fireman Sam Dukes, colored. That no other causalities occurred was probably due to the fact that No. 6 6 is a very heavy train, carrying several Pullmans besides the rncnlar <>nmnla. I ment of day coaches. PANIC OX TROLIJCY. Results in the I>oatli 0f a Paswngcr And Injury of Another. One passenger dead, another in the hospital with severe cuts and bruises about the head as a result of a panic among the passengers on a car of the Raleigh, N. C., street railway about midnight Thursday. The controller on the front platform flashed luridly and six negro passengers dashed to the ear platform, jumping off as the car was running 20 miles an hour. As they ran between the aisles they knocked down and trampled the conductor. In jumping from the car, Rachael Bryant sustained concussion of the brain and died Friday morning; Mary Bryant was severely cut about the i head, but will recover. The flash of the controller was harmless. Totals 104,456 Congress?First District. Geo. S. Legare 7,111 j J. H. Lesesne 2,4 64 Totals 9,575 Congress Second District. J. O. Patterson 5,356 Jas. F.

The State Ilemocratic committee met late Friday afternoon to canvass the returns of the first Democratic primary. The principal issue at stake, to be settled at this meeting, was whether G. McDuffle Hampton or O. C. Scarborough should make the race for railroad commissioner against James Cansler. The official count showed Col. Scarborough lead ing BIb opponent by over 2,000 votes. The relative standing of the other candidates, and the results as announced above, are very nearly correct. A dispatch from Columbia says it was learned Saturday afternoon that there was a mistake of 3.000 votes in the tabulation made by the State executive committee Friday night, by which McDuffle Hampton, son of Gen. Wade Hampton, is in the race for. Railroad Commissioned with Jas. Caiisler, instead of O. C. Scarborough being in the second race. The mistake was in the Greenville vote. / \ ' / KiyK.?

One consolation he had had. however?bis son Rene, had been ordered to meet undei the tricolor and the way in which he parted, from his boy, showed all the noblest traits of his character. Today Jacques Gautier was out ol humor. His proud dreams had all beer destroyed, the eagles of France had been trampled in the dust, it was the Prussian eagle that had conqueied alio that was now drinking the heart blood of France. ? * He now heard the voire of his wife? dinner was ready. Jacques Gautier stood up. but before he went in he threw a glance toward the hills which hid the l.olre from view and drew b deep sigh. Oh, why was he not allowed to ' fight for his country over there at the side of Rene. "But he did not fall in battle. He deserted and they caught and shot him." "Impossible! No man could be such a cowurd as to desert now, when every man ought to put on a uniform to save France. Who told you that silly tale?' "It is no silly tale, Jacques, and Jucques Petit, the carriage maker, whe was in the village yesterday, said that Doruis was not the only one. They are deserting by the score. "The miserable cowards and traitors! " Gautier roared. "Do not judge the poor boys tor harshly, Jacques, it must be a terrible life?they have no clothes, no shelter no food. My heart Is nearly breaking when 1 think of Rene. There is nc night that 1 do not prnv to the saiuli to send him home unharmed? " An angry look silenced her. "Rene," he thundered. "Rene should dare to run away instead of giving his life for his country! Listen to what ! say?ir Rene should desert and com* to this house I would kill him witti my own hands." They finished the meal in silence Then Mnrgnrite Gautier stood up tc clear the table, but as she did so sh? gave a piercing cry and Btaied in terror at the door behind her husband. "What is it, Margrite?" he aske< without tuining around. With an exclamation of impatience Jacques Gautier turned around?ant] for a second, he too, seemed petrified but at last a sound escaped his lips half a cry of anguish, half a curse: "Rene!" He made one step forward and then stopped. "Father," he whispered "father ~I have come?1 have comt home because?" Jacques Gautier stood up slowly, "How is it that you are here, whilt your regiment is awaiting the signal to go Into battle?" "I know, father, that you oondemr me, but I could stand it no longer, wt were freezing, starving and had hardly a rug on our liodies while we were surminded by a steel ring of bayonets, s I "nd some others- because it was all so hopeless, oh, so terribly hopeless!

Within an hour they will la here to search the house. For God's sake, lather, hide me!" He stretched his hands towards his fa' her and the tears ran down his emaciated cheeks. Jacques Gautier had turned pale as a ghost, his lips trembled and a terrible tire was burning ir It is eyes. His wife tamed by years o! tyranny, had until now reiuainel ir tlie background of the room, but now her mother love conquered her feat and she made a step towards her son "If you dare to go near him, you wil shaie his fate," he thundered.

They were about to take him away, when Jacques Gautier stepped up to them: "The rule is that a deserter must he shot on the snot wh#?r? he is caught?look here, yon may use (hat."

I AN AWFUL NIGHT t ? [ TWENTY-SE V K X YEARS SINCE ( THE BIC? EARTHQUAKE. Wrought Damage of Five Milliou Hollars in Charleston and Killed i 1 Twenty People and Hurt Many. i Last Wednesday was the twentyi 6'.\th anniversary of the terrible > earthquake which shook Charleston. causing damages to property aggregating more than $5,000,000 and > the loss of twenty odd people, killed * outright and the injury of several hundred, many of whom die?t from , their injuries. All the older people I remember what an awful night it 1 was. The following from the CharI leston Post tfbout the earthquake will be read with Interest: The shock occured on a Tuesday I night, at 9:54 o'clock. On the Friday morning previous a slight shock was felt by some people in Charleston land Summerville, but the people generally ridiculed the idea of an earthquake until the great shock came which left no doubt of a disturbance of the kind having occured. . The terrible visitation gave no warning. There was a sudden rumbling ( noise, a puff of breeze, causing the leaves to rustle and then the ground I lifted and lowered w ith a wave like motion and the buildincB tottered , I and fell, burying hundreds in the , ruins while those who could do so , I made hasty retreats for the parks I and open places, where many lived p I for weeks after the great shock. To add to the terrors of the occn, sion, several fierce fires occurred in the overturning of lamps. The engines had difficulty in getting to the tires on account of the debris in the t streets and then some of the horses .lot* the fire department forgot their training and escaped from the sta- ,/ , tion houses. The fires were however | I extinguished in the several sections, , without contributing very materially to the losses of property values. The cries of the negroes who beI I came hysterical, many believing that , the day of judgment had come added I no little to the terrors of the occasion . I With the scenes of havoc and die, tress on all sides robbery of residences and stores was consequently occurring and between protecting , lives and property the police officers .[had no small task on their hands. . I With the congested crowds on the | parks and open places the sanitation 1 j of these quarters became a problem | to the health authorities. ? | In many ways and times, Charlesl j ton passed through an ordeal which , | few cities of the country had before | endured. The terrors exceeded those of fires and cyclones which had sev- ? . enti nines laid a heavy hand upon . i Charleston and to many, the scenes , and experiences of the earthquake j were worst than those of war. Charleston lived through it all. The city arose phoenix-like from her > ; shes and it was not many months I I efore the general evidences of the disaster were completely oblitorati ed. A close inspection of many the presence of bolts, new plaster ' work and other work which beur in buildings today in Charleston reveals the outlines the story of the repairs I of property and the rebuilding of the city following the terrible visita tion. t m PATTERSON I'LEAOKD GUILTY, t , Paid One Hundred Hollars Pine by Order of the Court.
