The Vote in 1912. 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.

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.

The Patterson Reunion.
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. D. K. H.

War Effects All.
There is no possibility of fore- 1
telling the effect upon the United 1
States of a general European 1
war. Already the commercial I
life of this country*has felt the t
Lug and pull of the enormous i
financial stringency now exist- c
ing in most of the countries in- j
volved. ?
A news-dispatch tells of the ^
effect on the stock exchange in ?
New York, where prices gen- .
erally broke from b to 17 points 1

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

Enrollment Larger than 1912 Vote.
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.
