With all the boxes counted for most of the counties being officially tabulated, Mr. Rich ards had a lead of 1,305 over Mr. Mannirig. who in turn led Mr. Cooper by the scant mar gin of 306 votes. The official tabulation by the State execu tive committee may bring some changes, but it is extremely un likely that there can be enough errors and miscounts to put Mr. Cooper in the second race.

Finley and Whaley Had A Close Call. With returiiH lti from every county involved. It In evident that the entire youth Carolina delegation in congress has been returhed to office, n\any of the memberH by tremeu<jtous majorities. From the Htart of the counting it was apparent that only two?Messrs. Whaley in the First and Finley iu the Fifth; would be seriously in danger, and as the votes piled up these two drew ahead of their opponents, with result that they now have what seem to. l>e safe leads. _ . In the First district Mr. Whaley waH hard pressed by E.. J. Dennis, who ran well in the country and carried the war into Mr. Whaley's territory with a big vote in Charleston. Mr. Finley in the Fifth was behind in the count at one time but his home county, York, came through with a tremendous majority and put him on the safe side. In the third Wyatt Aiken seems to have carried the day on the first prl mary against his three opponents, while Joseph T. Johnson in the Fourth has easily swept the field in tbe first pri mary. The Second district saw a runaway race, with Congressman Juh. F. Byrnes / getting a huge majority. In the Sixth Representative Ragsdale easily won over his opponents, former Representative J. E. Ellerbe and A. L. liamer. ; / Congressman I,ev*r In the Seventh district was unopposed. From Mr. Stevenson. To the i>eople of Kershaw County : It appear* that I have been defeated in my race for Congress, but by a very small majority In comparison with what has heretofore been the custom. The clxaufftt of- a few hundred votes could have elected me, and I desire to thank the people of Kershaw County for the handsome vote given me and to say that while I am defeated I am by no means discouraged considering the forces that were arrayed against me, and that unless providence intervenes I will be in the race until there is an other election In thta district. With profound gratitude for the very handsome vote received in this, my first time to ask the district for any ?thing. I am. -t Most sincerely, x yrrr o a a.
