In the race for Governor, Cole L.
Blease, of Newberry, has maintained
a lead over his nearest, opponent,- C.
C. Featherstone, of l^aurens. The
relfitive standing of the six c^ndi
dates for Governor has not been
changed since early Tuesday night.
Thos. 0- Mcl^eod hold third place,
John G. Richards fourth, F. H. Hyatt
fifth, and J9hn T. Duncan sixth.
The total vote ip the first primary-
will no doubt reach 105,400, some
what to the surprise of many who
expected a much lighter vote. The
rains of the Bee-Dee and Piedmont
apparently had little effect in keep
ing the voters from the polls. Spar
tanburg was the banner county, poll
ing over 8,000 votes. The voting was
Tightest in the coast counties where
the terrific nUJHr'bf Monday had put
the n)ads'Tn such condition as to de
tain many from the polls.
In the race for Governor, Cole L.
Blease has 33,;164, while C. C. Feath
erstone has L’0,P04, a lead of 3,400,
the latter having more than a 4,000
lead over Thos, G. McLeod. Tne to
tal vote of the other three aspirants
amounts to about 16,000.
Cole L. Blease, for Governor, car
ried the counties of Aiken, Anderson,
Barnwell, Berkeley, Calhoun, Chero

Wrought Damage of Five Million
Dollars In Charleston and Killed
- ----
Twenty People ami Hurt Many.
' T.ast Wednesday was fhe twenty-
six
earthquake which shook Charleston,
causing damages to property aggre
gating more fjpan' $5,000,(100 and
the loss of iwenty odd people, killed
outright/and the injury of several
hundred, many of whom died from
their injuries. All the older people
remember what an awful night it
was. The following from the Char
leston Post at>otit the earthquake
will be read with interest:
The shock occured on a Tuesday-
night, at 9:54 o'clock. On the Friday
morning previous a slight shock
was felt by some people in Charleston
and Summerville, but the people
generally ridiculed the idea of an
earthquake until the great shock
came which left no dpubt of a dis
turbance of the kind having occured
The terrible visitation gave no warn-
ing There was a sudden rumbling
noise, a puff of breeze, causlrtg the
leaves to rustle and then the ground
lifted and lowered with a wave like
motion and the buildings tottered
and fell, burying hundreds in the
ruins while those who could do so
made hasty retreats for the parks
and open places, where many lived
for weeks after the great shock.
To add to the terrors of the occa
sion, several fierce fires occurred in
the overturning of lamps. The en
gines hud difficulty in getting to the
tires op account of the debris in the
streets and then some of the horses
of the fire department forgot their
tiaining and escaped from the sta
tion houses. The fires were however
extinguished in the several secti uis,
without contributing very materially
to the losses of property values.
The cries of the negroes who be
came h.vstericaJwmany believing that
the day o£"fudcment had come added
no little to the terrors of the occasion
With the scenes of havoc and dis
tress on all sides robbery of resi
dences and stores was consequently
occurring and between protecting
lives and property the police officers
had no small task on their hands,
WPh the congested crowds on the
parks and open places the sanitation

In many wavs and times. Charles
ton passed through an ordeal which
few cities of the country had before
endured. The terrors exceeded those
of fires and cyclones which had sev-
ral times laid a heavy hand upon
Charleston aud to many, the scenes
nd experiences of the earthquake
were worst than those of war.
Charleston lived through it all
The city arose phoenix-like from tier
ashes *und it was nut many months
before the general evidences of the
disaster were completely obliterat

As he stopped the train, Stewart
turned to see his fireman, Paul

him to the express car
According to Che story told by
Stewart, who i-as brought to a hos

Savannah, the loeOiriotive plunged

causalities occurred was probably
due to the fact that No. 66 Is a very
