Wee annum $2.00, payable^ in^ Friday, Auguat 22, IMP ^ ^ ^ f XHJB OFFICIAL COUNT Congressman W. F. Stevenson i* culling attention to the fact that he defeated Zeb Vaiice Davidson for Congress two years ago hy a vote of , 6,046 votes. A report has been spread that he won at the election two year* ago by only 2,300 votes. A vote cast for W. F. Stevenson on August 20 will help retain one of the ablest representatives . the Fifth District has ever had in Congress. The following is the vote cast by counties in the congressional race in JP2H: County Davidson Stevenson Cherokee 1,020 2,51f? Chester 2,333 007 Chesterfield 650 3,700 Fairfield 044 HH0 Kershaw 1,070 2,325 Lancaster 1,724 2,606 York 1,500 3,002 Total . y,U6<l 16,607 VOTE IT DOWN 'Phis county and city during the lust few years has been flooded with an anonymous circular, containing no signature or imprint, with nothing to show where it came from attacking Anbury F. Lever, candidate for givernor, in reference to his vote on labor questions. Mr. Lever ably came to the defense of ins vote in a large advertisement published in Wednesday's State. It is rather late in the campaign to be distributing tliis dirty stuff about any candidate, and we hope the voters of Camden and Kershaw county will havu the gnnd sense to pay no attention to last minute propaganda distributed about any candidate. It shows the guilty ones fear the strength of Mr. I/over and they are using this underhand method to pull his following away from him. He is considered one of the strong men in the race, and his record of fourteen years in Congress shows that the voters of his district had faith in him. He would make South Carolina an able governor and we hope this county will roll up a big majority in his favor. Traffic Victim Dies Charleston.?Constable Fred C. Wille is dead from injuries,received when struck by an automobile driven by Joseph (1. Golon. Police are holding Colon. Had Everything He Wanted Sumter i?There is one farmer that was not interested in visitors, because he had everything he wanted.

The fanner glanced up, then continued on with his labors. "Say, can 1 see you a minute," the automobilist asked after waiting a few minutes. The farmer did not look up: "Don't want no insurance; done bought my fertilizer and done, decided who I go n vote for." ho mumbled loud enough for the motorist to hear.
