He was strongly, supported in counties which two years ago went heavily for Governor Blease. Probably 44,000 votes were still unaccounted for, but it was not believed that they would change the results. In the governor’s race out of more than - 87,000 votes reported Manning, Cooper and Richards were running neck and neck, with Manning slightly in the lead. There will be a second primary, with two of these three candidates running ovein. It will be impossible to say which of the two will make the second race, until the complete returns are in.

Byrnes, Aiken Johnston and Ragsdale have been renominated to Congress. Finley is leading in the 5th district, and Whaley in the 1st.

Adjutant General. AdjutantjGeneral Moore seems to have been re-elected. At 2 o’clock he had 48,338 votes as Mr. G. A. Cole went up to ^Columbia last week to see his brother, Mr. R. B.

BARNWELL OIL MILL DESTROYED BY FIRE Plant Valued at $65,000 Went up in Smoke Early Yesterday Morning.—A Lot of New Machinery Had Been - Installed Recently. Fire broke out about 2:30 o’clock yesterday (Wednesday) morning in the main mill building of the Barnwell Oil Mill’s plant here and spread to surrounding buildings, completely destroying the mill builing, seed and gin houses, causing a loss of $65,000. It is not known how the fire started as it had gained considerable headway when discovered by the night-watchman, who immediately gave fbe alarm. Considerable improvements had been made in the plant this summer, and it was second to none in the Slate, size considered. All that escaped the flames were the hull house, a frame store room, the. office and tanks. The plant was insured, but the amount could not - be learned. It is not known whether or not the company will re build. * Mr. and Mrs. L. M. Calhoun will leave in a few daya for Blackyille, where they will live temporarily, Mr. Calhoun having a large interest in the furniture store in that town. He will retain his interest in the Home Furniture Com pany at Barnwell. A fanner friend says that he ia of the opinion that pulling fodder injures the corn.
