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. |

near the Charlotte Brick com- ^
pany's plant, and as a result a
targe number of stitches were 2
required to patch up Stafford's 2
hide. ^
