\ : -fm i Latest Electiea News. ? -. g| v Returns early Thursday morning indicate that E. D. Smith had a majority of about 20,000 votes in Tuesday's primary. With a total vote of more than 123,000 reported early Thursday the vote stood: Smith, 67,634: Blease, 52,389; Jennings, 2,282: i Pollock, 1,262. With from 10,000 to 15,000 votes still to be heard from it is not expected that Senator Smiths /"4ead will be reduced to that point where a second primary will be necessary. Manning, Cooper and Richards, for governor, are running neck and neck and an official tabulation probably will be necessary to determine which two will enter the second primary September 8. Late returns indicate that all the representatives in Congress from this State were renominated. The War. A closer veil than ever seems to be drawn over the progress of the war. Little news has come to hand concerning the operations on either front. The Russians, however, appear to be continuing their advance in East Prussia towards Posen, with the Germans in retreat. The only news from the French side is that French troops were attacked along the AlsaceLorraine line, but repulsed all attacks successfully. There is no indication that the German attack was in any great force but, if it was, the French success shows that they now are in * a strong position along this frontier from which they were 1 driven only by great sacrifice on the part of the Germans. !

The primary election Tuesday was without doubt the quietest election ever held in Fort Mill. Unlike the ordinary occasion of ^ this kind, there was little, if | any, drinking and rowdyism and | the quiet which prevailed was t the cause for much comment. * The Times' attention has been | called to a statement made last | week with reference to the new ? Methodist parsonage, in which 1 it was stated that the house was J built by the local Methodists. '' This was erroneous, as the parsonage was built jointly by the T congregations of the local church, t Philadelphia church and Pleasant * Hill church. | Josephus Stafford, a negro S laborer on the place of Edgar t Jones west of town, was pain- T fully, if not seriously, slashed ? with a knife Monday night by a ? another negro whose identity was not known.
