In the Governor’s race the standing of the three leading candidates was as follows: Rlease 50.442 Manning 33,356 Cooper 25,365 There are probafily between ten and fifteen thousand votes still to he heard from. There is no likelihood that the relative standing of the can didates will be changed, and a sec ond race between Rlease and Man- ningV is indicated. Messrs. Des- Champs and Duncan, the other two . candidates for Governor, have poll ed less than 600 votes. Lieutenant Governor Rethea. As sistant Secretary of State Dove and State Treasurer Carter have been elected. The reported vote in these contests was as follows: Lieutenant Governor. Adams 27.800 Rethea 49.388 Secretary of State. Dove 45.233 Wightman- 31.836 The election passed off quietly ev erywhere jo Colleton county jester, day, with a light vote being polled. Ther*' were several hundred quali fied voters who did not take time to Hgo to the polls to vote. Their voting, however, would hardly have changed the results as the leads of those in the second race are nowhere verv close. According to the total votes cast as reported it appears that \V. W. Hmoak and John C. Goodwin are elected on the first ballot for the legislature, each receiving consider ably more than a majority of the vote cast. The race for sheriff resulted In a second race between Lucas C. Pad gett. the/bresent deputy sheriff, and [ Dr. W. R. Ackerman, formerly may- | or of Walterboro, with Padgett con- ‘siderably in the lead. “Uncle Rerry” Hudson received a majority of the votes in the first pri mary and was declared elected. In the race for county highway commissioner J. W. Hill and R. R/ Ulmer run a second race, with Hill in the lead. / Hugo S. Strickland, county super intendent of education, will run a second race with Dr. H. W. Rlack. Strickland being considerably in the lead. H. M efferies leads for master, with .1. E. Reach a second. In the race for coroner Isham Dop- son will run a second race with C V\ . Langdale. the incumbent.

The incomplete returns in dicate that Former Governor Rlease Carried the county by a safe plurality* witb Governor Manning second and Cooper, third. This vote is a bit surprising to those who were of th« opinion that Cooper would carry th.» county, -as VAs freely predicted bv many admirers of this candidate. Lieutenant Governor Rethea main tained a good lead over his opponent Dr E. C. L. Adams. Senator Wightman. of Saluda, received more Vote* than his. opponent Dove, while Caiter, for State treasurer, got sev* entj times as many votes as his op- fonen McLaurin.
