The official count showed oft) votes for s>ale and 1,4^0 against sale, As rnnounced in a previous dcFpatch, the election^ was contested by Attorney C. P. Sims of Spartanburg. in bohnl f of Mr. Rhett Coleman, petitioner, but the allega tions ?et forth in the petition were jot sustained in anv particular. At tho hearing, resumed from last Tues ? day, a number of witnesses wero ex amined, chiefly frem among the man ngers of the election, together with Supervisor Humbert and Mr. W . T. Crews, . suinir.oncd by tho petitioner. It appears from the testimony, and won so argued by Mr. FeathorStone for the respondent, that not a single allegation set forth in tho petition was substantiated by the testimony Introduced, not even that Mr. Cole man, the petitioner, was a qualified plectov anl a taxpayer. Further, ev ery manager examined testified that the Jaw was complied with in over.v detail, while tho petition alleges that thero were numberless irregularities. Mr. Sims refused to make any argu ment because all three members of tho board were not present and left fov homo At 2 o'clock, whilo Mr. Feittherstone's argument was not ?ua do until 3 o'clock. Mr. Sims con tended that tho two members pres. rnt could not pass upon the matter. Tho board ruled otherwise. Some days ago Mr.* Sims stated that he would carry the contest before t lie State board, so it is presumed the matter is not ended. wenty Votes Not Counted. &en? Special. ? A rather peculiar lion has arisen from the recent pal election. There appears to votes that were not counted, st one name must have been iff from '20 ballots in counting, were 13 candidates in the field aldei"tnen, and thero were 2f)7 jcast. As each voter must have d for six in order for the ballot to have been legal, there must be six yv jimcs 207 votes for tho total of f those received bv the 13 candidates, ?which would bo 1,782. However, when the votes of all candidates are rv added- up, the total is only 17G*i, and cr.- or, the face of this it would appear j that 20 vote* are uncounted. It understood that some parties are in WBtiflff ?n the votes being recounted. ^^?siUtac fe Berkeley. ^ ; ' Mortal Comer, ! Special.? AjiothoH fettDitfy o<?<ftfyr?d iiea'r 3it.

The canvassers of tho State and county election met for the puipose of making up their returns for the recent election for the State and county offices. They did not conclude their labors and ad journed, leaving all papers apper taining to the (lection in the ."jury room. The door was left locked, but in the morning, when Chairman Breland and Clerk DeTreville oamo to finish- up their reports, all the paper* had mysteriously disappeared during the night. Fortunately Mr. DeTreville had taken home with him a copy of the total votes cast in each precinct. The law provides that these papers shall be forwarded to the Governor and Secretary of State, and it ia. not known what effect, if any, this theft will have. There seems to be no ob.ieet a person would have in stealing these papers, except that it would destroy the validity of tho election. There is no clue as to how these papers disappeared. Tho board of canvassers will send the tho return from Mr. DeTreville 's copy and will await the decision from the State authorities as to the legal ity of the election. Fined for Cruelty to Horse.

Seneca Union, Woodruff and numbers of oth er places are impoverishing thoi: high schools in the same way. Who' is the trouble? The people are Bi.il) blinded by that fundamental error? that the function of the high school is to prepare students for college Mnc-tcntha of the pupils who finish the 7th grade never see the doors hi a college. True, in addition to the subjects neeeaRary lo college entrance wo have added to the traditional course a large number of side-dishee, so to speak. These side-dishes are nothing but relishes, to bo tasted oc casionally. The people and the prin cipals have put no meaty courses par allel to that single one which leads straight to the college door. The people by (heir own short-sightedness and unwillingness to learn stand and see their own strong and sturdy sons stop out of the school room at (ho end of the 8th grade, because these sons have found that thoir parents and teachers have put. nothing in the high school except nourishment for the coIlfKe candidate.
