John G. Richards of Kerstyaw
and Richard I. Manning of
Sumter will make the second
race for governor of South Car
olina in the second Democratic
primary to be held September
8. 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.

CONGRESSMEN GO BACK.
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.
