Tnat was a great compliment that those 800 voters of South Carolina paid Adam Crane Jones, of Newberry, on the 28th of August. In those $50.00 cards in the Columbia State and the Sunday News and Courier, Adam Crane Jones, of Newberry, saifl he would be elected Governor of South Carolina if his friends would stand by him. They did it about 8oo strong out of 100,0$0 Our old true and tried friend, Frank Shealy, "was running some." He got 2404 against 002 for both of hl9 opponents. It reminds us of the noke Smith land slide in Georgia. dam Crane Jones, candidate for Governor, slapped the face of his opponent, Mr, Joel E. Brunson, a one armed man, of whom there has never jbeen a stain cast upon his name and an honest prohibitionist, in preference to spitting In Ills face, On election day, the people of Sooth Carolina Scratched his name to the tune of about 1)9,200 times. A just rebuke. ? * Dr. E, J.

In the race for County Auditor we visit to say that one of the oandlclates, ir. W. I), Dent, of IJrookland, is ersonally known to us. In our issue f August 24, we published an cnlorsement from the people of his lome town, setting forth his peculiar itness for the duties of the oflice. His life in the past has been clean . hat he Is possessed of all the qualifications that it takes to fill the otlice s not doubted, and coming into the ace a perfect stranger, outside of his lomctown, and the vote he received 11 the first election is indeed a compliment to the man who is now askng the suffrage of his fellow citizens >Vc trust that he will receive the lupport that he so Justly deservesCol. J. II. Wharton, who is in the lecond primary fbr re-election to the ifliceof Railroad Commissioner, has icrved the people of South Carolina faithfully for the past six years in the jfllce to which he now aspires lie is kn old soldier who fonirHt - mvWIIU terra, or even a third term, would not halt repay him lor the many acts of kindness he has shown to his fellowman. Head the card of an old Confed erate Soldier in another column. Col Wharton is big-hearted and truetrue to the principles of right and a strong tighter against all wrong. We feel that it is but Just that this man should receive your thoughtful consideration nexc Tuesday, and we believe that the people of Houth Carolina would do honor to themselves and to Lhe Commonwealth by electing Col. J. II. Wharton to a second term on the Railroad Commission. CAMPAIGN PREDICTIONS. Taking the gubernatorial vote as in licatlve of popular opinion, we And Lhat the dispensary vote exceeded that of the anti-dispensary as reprejented by Ansel, by over 0,500 votes. The straight prohibition vote amount td to something over 10,000. Conceding that the dispensary and anli dispensary vote in tho second primary vill remain about tnat same proportion, the question is where the 10,000 >rohibltlon votes will go. We believe i majority will go to the state dispenlary system as Mr. Manning reprelents it. We are reliably Informed that Mr. llrunson, who received neary 10,00 votes, believes in the state lispensary as Mr. Manning would and vill have it, if elected, in preference to the county or license system. Mr. irunson doubtless voices tho sentl ncnt of a great majority who voted or him. They are all prohibitionists, traight, pure, without any political ir other entanglements, without any fs or ands or huts about it. But seeng that they cannot now obtain rhat they want, as intelligent patriotic men they will vote for what they hink will conduce more to sobriety, >cace, law and order. It Is inconeivable almost that they would aign themselves with tho hcense-baroom element, and the defeat of the ispensary means tho ultimate triimph of that element. Hence, we >elieve a majority of tlioin will vote or Manning practically insuring h^, lection.

Next .Tuesday, the 11th of Setitom ber, the second primary will be held 1 and it is the duty of every man that is old enough to vote to go to the pulls and cast his ballot for the men of his choice. In the State election there is three offices to be tilled, that of Governor, Attorney-General and Railroad Commissioner. For Governor Ansel and ^ Manning arc making the second race; for Altomay-Oencral f.yon and Ragsdale; for Railroad Commissioner, Wharton and Sullivan. These are f the most important offices of our State Government, and It is your F duty to help to elect one of these candidates. Vote for the principles you think are right and just. We are not i/niiii' tn (oil vmi tlirn utli t linco onl_ umns how you must vote. We have i our preference; there are men in the race that we would like tosec elected, but we accord to our readers the same privilege which arc accorded to every man in this great and proud State of ours. But we urge you, in the name of good government, to exercise the high privilege which is extended you ^ and vote on September litis fur the nan of your choice. ? ?

These are all 110 doubt j good men and are well known to most readers of The AdvocateIn the county as in the State, we have our preference, but wc are not _ going to say how you must vote, but we want to impress upon your minds that the moat important otlices are li yet to be lilled, and next Tuesday will ' oe uie time lor you to maae your g choice. He sure and turnout Tuesday 1 and vote like men. Don't let the idea get into your minds that, our State is going to the bad and every time you 4 cast your vote it makes matters worse. Tliis is tho great trouble now, you fail to exorcise the great privilege that is accorded to every citizen of this broad land; you fail to go to the ballot box and cast your votes as free men for those principles of government which, in yonr judgment, you honestly think will redown to the betterment of your County and 8tate.
