Chief Contests are for State Senate, Sheriff and Supervisor. St George, July 17.—The political situation in Dorches ter county up to this time has been devoid of any sensational or bitter feeling- The county campaign will begin at Sum merville on the 25th inst, and by that time it will be definitely knoWn who all of the aspirants for political positions are. This meeting will, it is under stood. be a large one, for the reason that it will be artended by the voters from Knights- ville, Delemars, and that section of the county lying east of Cypress Swamp. Up to this time there have , been no definite issues raised for the campaigners. The candi dates who have announced so far in the local papers are well known and prominent citizens of this county, and the voters are going to have no difficulty whatsoever in selecting those who will give them an honest administration of public affairs. It is quite evident that the people of Dorchester county are not disposed to displace some of the present officials; they having given them a most satisfactory administra ion ol the affairs of their respective offices. P C Johnston, Jr, who has been clerk of court since the organization of the county, will not stand lor re-election, but his father, Prof P C Johns ton, Sr, who has been acting as his deputy, has announced his candidacy for the position. Judge ofProbate T R Tighe, who has held the office of Probate Judge virtually since the creation of the county, has also arnounced his candidacy for re-election. It is safe to predict that by reason of the fact that these two officers have given general satisfaction to the people of Dorchester county and to the local and visiting members of the . Bar, that they will be elected with out opposition. 1 he chief contests in the county will be for the office ot Senator, sheriff and supervisor, and the friends and adherents of the candidates for these positions are active and enthusiastic for their special favorites. Sena tor John D Bivens, the present incumbent, will be opposed by Mr St Clair Muckenfuss, of Ridgeville, and Mr E J Lime- house, of Summerville. Mr j M M Limehouse, the present sherift, is opposed by Mr Amos Owens, of Ridgeville, Mr L W Westbury, of orover, and Mr W B Traxler, of St George. The supervisor. Mr H H Gross, the present incum bent, will have as his oppon ents Mr J H Knight, of Knightsville, and W illiam L Johnston, of Grover. Mr T H Abbott, Jr, who succeeded at the last election Mr P S Moorer, who held that position for many years, has no opposi tion so far, and neither has County superintendent of education Mr John J Howell, the people being unquestiona bly satisfied with the manner to which they have conducted their respective offices. The Hon J S Wimberly, j*be MWJWpreseats the people «anUt. m of this county in the Legisla ture, has been announced, by his friends for re-election, and up to this time no one has come out to measure political swords with him. County Treasurer J M Whetsell, who has held this position for many years, has bee brought out again by his friends throughout the county, and Mr Thomas J Appleby, of the Reevesville section, an ex auditor of Colleton and Dorch ester counties, will also contest lor this positiorw-. There are numerous candidates for the county commissioner. Among them being D M Tuttle and J D Wimberly, who now holds this office, and J VV Bell, J D Murray and W E Griffin.
