It is often JlSerted by the uninformed that the textile workers of South Caro lina vote practically as a unit. They do not vote absolutely as a unity any where, and in some sections of the state thert? has always been considerable di vision of the mill workers on election day. The Spartanburg Herald presents tiie figures for the mill boxes of that county, showing the vote cast in the last primary nnd the figures show that Governor Manning received nearly half of the vote cast at the precincts where the textile workers were largely in the Juajuiity.-; :. ? In the cities nnd towns of Simrtan burg Governor. Manning received n vote of nearly two to one for his opponent; the mill rote was almost evenly divided* Mr. Blease getting a little more than half ot It; while the country precincts gave Blease a substantial majority. So it appears that in Spartanburg the far mers, instead of the mill workers en abled Mr. Blease to carry the county by a small majority. ? Hock Hill Herald.
