From the News and Courier:
As a result of yesterday’s Democratic State primary Gov
ernor Richard I. Manning has been re-elected for a second term
by a majority which will probably approximate five thousand
votes out of a total which is expected to be round 140,000.
The News and Courier at 3 o’clock this morning had ac
counted for 134.871 votes in the Governor’s race. At that hour
the vote stood;
Blease * 65,049
Manning .69,822
... 4^733
" ' ■ Manning’s Majority
It is not expected that the five or six thousand votes still
to be heard from will change the relative standing of the two
candidates materialy. The counties where former Governor Cole
L. Blease was strongest have reported and in the boxes still to
be heard from the likelihood is that the candidates will split
the vote pretty evenly.
RAILROAD COMMISSIONER
If
In the race for railroad commissioner. James Cansler, “of
Tirzah,”has at last been elected to the office for which he has
been regularly a candidate at evfcry election for a decade or more.
He has a lead of about 18,000 votes over Albert S. Fant out of
a total reported vote of about 110,000.
The returns in this contest have been as fully reported aa in
the Governor’s race.
Every year, between the dates of
Octol>er 2nd and 7th inrlusive, ther
is held a National I’ay-Vp Week un
der the auspices of the Merchants

LEO* SMITH ACCEPTS POSITION
Annnnncen^nt Is made that l^on
Smith has accepted a position with
J. P. Herndon A Son for the fall
and winter. Hr. Smith Is well
known in this county, and this will
he Interesting new* to his many
friends, ‘
Tlie second primary In Colleton
county passed off very quietly.
2581* votes were cast, which was an
increase over the vote In the flr*t
primary. During the two weeks in
tervening between the first and sec
ond primaries, a great deal of work
was done by the candidates and
their friends.
The wise political prognosticat
ors. however, appear to have sum
med up the results ahead of time,
and there are many who can be
heard exclaiming "Mold you so.”
The unofficial results of the coun
ty races are as follows:
For Sheriff—W. R. Ackerman.
1134; Lucas C. Pad*, t. 14S5.1
For Highway Comm Undo nor —J.
W. Hill. 1275; B. R. Ulmer. 1313.
For County Superintendent of Ed
ucation—Dr. H. W. Black, .1006.
Hugo S. Strickland. 1591.
For Master—Julius E. Beach.
1051; R. M. Jefferies. 1536.
For Coroner—I. W. , Dopson,
14t*6: C. N. Langdale, 1089.
There were some surprises in
connection with the Magistrates
race. Magistrate P. J. Wilson, of
Warren township appears to be de
feated by I>. W. Smoak by only
seven votes. Magistrate L. E. Hill
of Red Hank seems to have suffer
ed defeat by Sam C. Linder bv thre«
voles. H. J. Givens, of Heyward
township was re-elected over Frank
Thompson by n majority of 29 votes
In Lowndes and Blake township
there was a He between W. E. Cap
ers jimi G. W. Sweat. It is Hnder-
stomi in this race, that Mr. Capers
exp*>cts to endeavor to have one vote
at White Hall thrown out. Ho
claims that Mr. Sweat’s son voted
at White Hall and his residence is
at Hendersonville. This matter
will be passed upon by the Execu
tive Committee at its meeting to
morrow.
Perhaps the greatest surprise In
the election was in the governor’s
race In the first primary former
Governor Blease received 1135 votes.
It/ M. Cooper 455 votes and Gover
nor Manning 935 votes. In the
election yesterday Former Governor
Blease received 1176 ynten. a gain
of only 41 votes over his vote in the
