I ' Replying with requests of various correspondents, the following figures relating to the primary election in 11)12 are given: Total vote cast, 140,435. Cole. L. Blease received 71,562. Ira B. .1 ones received 66,478. John T. Duncan received 2,385. Blease's plurality over Jones, 5,084. B1 eases majority of votes cast. 2.600. In the second primary of 1910 1 1 -- I ... - - - me- muhi voio casi was loo, boo. I or :?.5(>() loss than the vote of J 1912. Of these Cole. L. Blease received 5(>.25(). C. 0. Featherstone rece'ved 50, 605. Blease's majority over Featherstone was, therefore, 5,045. Although the vote in 1012 was nearly a third larger than in 1010. (Jovernor Blease's plurality over Jones was slightly smaller than over Featherstone, and his majority was reduced to 2,009. It' the same number of votes should be cast this year as. in ! 1012(140.4115) and as many as j 1,250 in the whole State that] voted for Blease then should I vote against him now he would 1 lack a majority. A change unfavorable to him I of less than thirty-or\e votes in each of the forty-four counties would leave Governor Blease without a majority. To be sure, there may he this year men who were for Jones in 1912 who are for Blease now. We have heard of two whom we , ;,..n i ... i ? > ui iii vtn in ik* u?r .nines in llHZ who arc now pronounced Blease moo im w. They are Mayor John P.

The Times has received the following contribution which came too late for publication last Week: Mr. Editor: I will give you an account of Mr. Ira A. Patterson's reunion, which the writer hail the pleasure to attend today at his home in the Harrison neighborhood. Mr. Patterson is 7S years old today, and is a very strong man for that age. There were present at the reunion one hundred and fifty people. The count, was made by Mr. O. Barber, thirty-four of this number grandchildren. At It) o'clock in the morning the people began to gather, some in wagons, some in buggies and some in automobiles. and some were no doubt prevented by the rain that began to fall at that hour. About one o'clock p. m. dinner was spread on a large table in the vard under a beautiful shade, and everything that one could wish f< r was there to eat, and many more could have been fed had they been there. Mr. S. M. Blackwelder a present of a fine walking cane to Mr. 1. A. Patterson. After dinner the Harrison , string band entertained the crowd with some fine music until about four o'clock, when the crowd began to break for home. , It was a day of much enjoy- , ment to all and may this great and good man live many more years to guide and comfort his descendants.

To supplement any other assistance that the State may render. Mr. Watson says that he will ask the next general as sembly to remit all taxes from the farmers in this district for two years. lie will also ask for an appropriation to supply these with seed corn and cotton seed for next year's crops. If this materializes, the commissioner says that a type of cotton will be introduced that can withstand the ravages of the boll weevil.? The State. Secure a Medal. The South Carolina Exposition commission, which has for its object the raising of funds with which to erect a building for South Carolina at the San Francisco Panama exposition next year, has been doing good work. The newspapers all over the State have recognized the great worth of the undertaking, and are making an effort to assist as much as possible. No large contributions are. asked from any one person, but small contributions are requested from everybody. In order that all who contribute may have a souvenir, bronze medals have been purchased and one will be given to each person contributing a dollar. The Times has on hand a limited number of these medals which are now olferedthe people of this community. If you want one, you will have to come early. Other States will be represented. Why not South Carolina?

The York News has gathered figures from the various club secretaries as to the enrollment and compares- them with the vote in the precincts in li)12. While the figures are only an proximateiy correct as to the 1912 vote, it gives a fair idea as to the falling otV or gain in enrollment. The table shows that there are 31 more enrolled than voted two years ago. At Bethel, Blairsville, Fort Mill, Forest Hill, McConnellsville, New Port, Rock Hill No. 1, Smyrna, Tirzah, Yorkville, Nos. 1 and 2 the enrollment is not as great as the 1912 vote. In Yorkville No. 1 the enrollment is short of the 1912 vote by 150, this being the greatest shortage in the county. The greatest gain is at Clover of 78. 15H5BL5ES5Sa5B5^5H5a5H5asa|p lV E j buy a Sum- a oods counter i?j 20c, now only 15c yard, jjj 10c goods, now 7 l-2c.
