intercession of friends of both par

had been brought up by Mr. Moore
at Sniders, Rice Patch and Lodge,

Mr. Smoak at Rice Patch and Lodge,

agreement had been adhered to by
these candidates at each of the other
meetings and, consequently, what

Adams Rur, and listened attentively.
Early in the afternoon a recess was
given for the purpose of allowing the
crowd to dine. Another delightful
dinner war served by the Adams
Runners, with their accustomed hos
pitality. Hon. J-TT. Dodd, candidate
for reelection to the legislature and
J. B. Padgett- for county commis
sioner, were absent from the meet
ings here and at Ravenel on account
of sickness, Capt. Way was also ab
sent from Ravenel for the same rea

COTTAGEVILLE.
The best meeting up to then was
the*bne held FridaJ' at Cottageville.
There were present about six hun

. according to conservative estimate.

About the same sized crowd listen- was .not brought up. Mr. Smoak,
1 who had spoken first did not make
any reference to these charges by 1
Supervisor Moore, so when he again
discussed the chums, Mr. Smoak
resented it. and asked if the super
visor had not approved and paid
similar claims in Api il 1907 which he
deducted for in Juiy. Mr. Moore
admitted that he had. When pressed
by Mr. Smoak to give his reason for
paying them in April, hs stated

that he had over looked them. Some
one in the audience shouted: “Yes,
and you will overlook the county in
the same way.” Mr. Moore then
stated that when the hill in July had
been presented he had gone to the
editor of The Press and Standard and
asked that he revise it and submit a
correct one, but th^t the editor r^
fused to do so and said to him that
he might pay it and no one would

resumed. In a short while.
Wwever, a rain came up and the
crowd had to seek shelter. About
an hour was thus lost, and when
speaking was resumed it was to a
smaller audience. The weather was
very threatening and about five
•’slock another heavy rain was com
ing up. All candidates had been
heard but those for the Sup rvisor’s
office, and after due consideration
the chairman decided to adjourn the
■Meting without hearing them. Al
most the first applause of the cam
paign was given here, which kind of
.frightened some of the “animals,’’
but it was soon found to be the re
sult of friendly feeling, and the
speakers responded in the best
speeches delivered so far. There
was a little spat between Messrs.
' HID and Smith again over the same
matter of salary as was discussed at
Riet Patch. Mr. Smith was interrup
ts! abo by several other persons in
tha audience and after fis speech
there was some discussion between
Urn and some of his questioners.
Mothing followed, however, Mr
Dodd, was the only absent candidate.
no matter for whom the audience
hollered. The matter then rested
here, but many expressions were
heard in the crowd that the speaker
had acted unfairly in bringing up
these matters when Mr. Smoak had
no chance for reply, and when by a
tacit agreement they were not to be
brought up again.
At the conclusion of tha speaking.
Mr. S. B. Saunders, arose and in a
few well chosen remarks thanked
Chaifman Howell, for his fairfcsas in
presiding and his fahhfulnam in
attending all the meetings, proposing
three cheers for him, which were
given with a will.
Thus closed a memorable cam
paign, and the “animals’’ went to
their homes.

RESULTS OF
FIRST PRMARY.
The Election Contained Many
Surprises. Those Running
in The Second Race.
The voice of the people, as ex
pressed at the ballot box on Tuesday,
contained many surprises. The
results, as shown by the tabulated
report in this issue, indicate what
the voters did.
The Press and Standard delayed
its issue in order to get the official
results to prevent any misunder
stand as to the result of the election.
Messrs Sanders and Robertson re
ceived a very flattering vote for the
house of representatives* as did Mr
Platt for county commissioner. G
W Way and W W Smoak Jr. will
make second race for the house of
representatives. L G Ownes will
be opposed by W R Fox for sheriff,
while H D Padgett and E R McTeer
will run the second race for clerk of
court. Dr H W Black and H S
Strickland are to be candidates for
county superintendent of education.
The race for supervisor will be be
tween J E Moore and J 0 Griffin.
R E Jones was re-elected treasurer
over his two opponnets. A A Pat
terson and P. M. Buckner will run
again for auditor. C G Henberaon
was re-elcted master. D D Rhode
and J M> Benton will run for coroner.
Jasper Robinson and D E Smoak
ill run for county commissioner.
A Card to tha Public.
The private school of Miss Helen
E. Malone will open for the new
session on Monday, September 21st.
Patronage is asked because it is be
lieved that a good senool of this kind
is a real necessity in every ferm.
Many desire that their children
should be more carefully watched
over, surrounded with choices, asso
ciations, and instructed more in
reference to individual needs and
•pecial requirements than can be
looked for in the generality of
schools. It is the particular en
deavor of Miss Malone’s school to
supply these advantages in giving
the best moral and intellectual train
ing possible. Succes has crowned its
efforts heretofore, but it ever strives
to improve on itself, and to do still
better by every pupil intrusted to
its care. Hence it is cnofidently
hoped that the e:isuing year’s work
will be a great advance on the past;
and that personal attention will be,
more than ever, given to every
child. All grades are | received.
The preparation of boys and girls
for college is a specialty. Those
who think of patronizing this school
are asked to apply as soon as pos
sible. *
