The primary is over ami tho result is how known. Tho report below of tho voto cast is ofllcinl. In tho races that were not neck and neck, all save two, the results have not been changed from tho drat re port. In tho remarkably close race for comptroller general Mr, Jones has won tho day by only 1012 votes out of a total of 00,523. Latlmcr's majority over Evans grew steadily on the strength of tho out lying precincts and ho finishes with a lead of nearly 18,000 votes. Mr. Hey ward for governor has more than got ten his 10,000 majority, against which so many bets, were made in various portions of tho State. Frost wins for adjutant general by nearly 8,000 votes and Gantt succeeds Cooper as secre tary of thc state by thc comfortable majority of 3,043. Caug' ?*x receives the second largest majority iii all thc contests, 11,304. The total vote polled has been a surprise. But few thought that it would reach over 80,000, but it went over 91,000, but 4,000 less than that cast in the llrst primary. A signifi cant fact is that the scratching in thc sensatorial race was not as general as was expected. Col. Sloan of Richland made a lino race for lieutenant gover nor and has beaten Mr. Gary by near ly 0,000 votes. Here is tlic summary showing thc vote for each candidate, thc totals and thc majorities: For United States Senator: A. C.

Thc Stato said Thursday that lt was possible that Mr. Bellinger would win, but thc missing precincts in Aiken .county, though not so numerous, polled more votes than did thc miss ing boxes in Hampton .and Barnwell, and so Mr. Croft carno under tho wire a,nose ahead.

Cases of poisoning from tho eating ol' impure iee cream aro not frequent, for confectioners are very careful these days. But a wholesale caso of poisoning of this kind occurred in Columbia Thursday night. Little Miss Annie Erwin McFeat in celebrat ing lier 10th anniversary had a number of little friends to spend thc afternoon with her. There were several churns of cream, but strange to say not one of the 40 little ones partook of tho chocolate. Later about 10 or 12 gr'-wn people ate some of this kind, i- of them were poisoned. Mrs. Me lt.. . suffered more than any of thc other, and was really in a critical con dition, but was better yesterday Among others who were made sick were Miss Lula Williams, Miss Lillian Irby and Dr. C. J. Oliveros. Careful inquiry developed thc fact that none of thc cream was infected except thc chocolate-Columbia State. Thc Old and tho Now. Governor Mcsweeney Wednesday night sent the following telegram to Capt. D. C. Ileyward at Waltcrboro: "Permit mo to extend my con gratulations and best wishes.

John Gary Evans read lils doom at lils home at Spartan burg, while Latlmcr smiled and shook hands with himself at Belton. Cap tain Ileyward was at home, whore there was hardly a sign of Talbert's men, and amidst such pleasant sur roundings to himself lie read the news of his nomination. Colonel Talbert got tho bad news at home. In tills connection lt may bc mentioned that Ileyward made a first class run in ridgefield, tho people treating him much bettor than Colleton did Tal bert. A I'i'i'loiul, Indeed. A Pierce, Neb., Friday night Gottlieb Nlegcnflnd shot and killed lils formor wife, Mrs. Anna Peters, shot six times at Albert Brcyer, lier father, who died tills morning and shot tho wlfoof Broyer in tho should er, seriously and perhaps fatally wounding her. After tho shooting Niegenflnd left tho houso and, meet ing Mrs. Peters' sister, Lena Brcyer, attempted a criminal assault. InhAlcd I'm IM Oroon. Soven persons aro reported dead In Klamtla, Indian 'Territory, from In haling paris grcon which liad boen applied to worm-Infested cotton plants. Owing to dry weather lt ls supposed tho poison in tho form of dust was absorbed by the vlotlms-four mon and tinco women-who were at work In tho Hold, FIXING PRICE Ol? SEED. Tho Farmern Cnn Do it il They Will Co-oporato. Tho farmers of North. Carolina or ganized last year and lixed the pri?e of their cotton seed. They have call ed another meeting as thc call willoh wc publish below shows: To tho Farmers of North Carolina: "At the January meeting of tho North Carolina Fanners Stale associa tion, a resolution was adopted that the annual meeting of the association he held the third 'Tuesday in August. Commissioner 8. L. Patterson, who IS a member of the executive committee of tho association, informs us that he will he away, engaged in institute work at that time, and the following week will he In attendance tit the meeting of thc Cotton States Associai tlon of Commissioners of Agriculture In Nashville, Tenn. Therefore, it is thought best to hold tito annual meet ing of tito State Farmers association on Wednesday September 3 i'd j in thc auditorium of thc Agricultural build ing in tlic city of Raleigh, beginning at ll o'clock a. m. lt is to be imped that every county in the state will he represented at that meeting. We hope lo secure reduced rates over the different railways for the occasion, Whoa this association Hist met in Scptcmhcr, 1001, to fake into con sideration tho cotton seed situation, and devise plans by which a better prlco could bo obtained for them, and by resolution declared that under ex isting conditions cotton seed should not be sold for less titan li I cents per bushel for cash, nor exchanged for cottonseed meal for less than-1.333 pounds of meal for one ton of seed, it demonstrated thc power of concert of action, for hy that resolution it estab lished! a price that resulted in untold beneiit to tho cotton farmers of tho south. While some derided tho ac tion of tile, convention, and said that lt was composed of people who did not know what they were doing, others had confidence In t heir judgment and stood by tho action of thc association. Tlic farmers who refused to take part in thc meetings, and continued to sell their cotton seed as fast as ginned, received 18 to 21 cents per bushel for them, while those who abided by thc action of tlic association, received from 25 cents to 27 cents per bushel for theirs. This very fact should give the farmers of tho slate confidence in tlic -association, and cause, thom to take ari active part in its workings. For tho purpose of a compolcte or ganization and thorough representa tion at tho state meeting, wc suggest that township meetings bo held on Saturday, August 23rd, at the usual place for holding township meetings, and that county meetingJlQ?-JhcA<L Saturday, August 30th, ai thc court house, at 12 o,clock, and then select delegates to attend the slate meeting. The association is of too much impor tance to the farmers of tlic state for Its meetings to he neglected by them. Let them show their interest in the work, and their determination to suc ceed hy attending these meetings in large numbers. Thc secretary will gladly furnish constitutions and mem bership rolls to any one desiring them. Remember tills association is in tho iu terestof all classes of farmers, whether cotton, tobacco, grain or truck farm ers, therefore all aro cordially Invited and urged to attend. Respectful ly j lt. II. SPEIGHT, President. T. Bi PARKER, Secretary. Hillsboro, N. C. In commenting on this call Mr. Jourdan, tho agricultural editor of The Atlanta Journal says: The above cir cular sent out to the farmers of North Carolina will result In great good if they will co-operate in selling their seed this season as t hey did last year. Tlic farmers in all the other southern states can do likewise and co-operation in the futuresale of our farm products should be tho watchword from this time on. It makes no difference whether we hold county or militia mass meetings, lot cadi individual cotton raiser determino to price lils seed to tho mill people for not less than 25 to 30 cents per bushel, and stand steadfast on that demand until tho price ls paid. Wc won't havo to hold them long at present prices of oil, meal and hulls. Cruel lOiiiployinont. Tho Savannah News says tho sub ject of child labor in Southern mill ls one that is receiving Just now consider able attention from thc Northern press. Revelations on this subject, which aro occasionally made, are not grateful to Southern pride nor ls a visual inspection of tho system in oporation a very pleasing experience. In fact lt makes a man sick at heart to seo boys and girls of less than ten years of age-sometimes several years less wearing out their young lives in tho operation of looms and spindles, without any opportunity to secure tlie advantages of education or thc healthy freedom that ought to be a child's portion. Btmnj?o I'hoiiomciioM. During tho recent volcanic eruption at Martinique a strange phenomenon was noticed at certain mineral springs near Prague. The water first turned brown and then red, retaining this latter color for a full hour. Scient ists arc unable to account for this sudden chango in tho water, but those who reside near the springs aro certain that it was caused by the volcano, and do not fall to point out that similar phenomenon waa observed in 1775 oh the day when Micro was a terrible earthquake In Lisbon. Til? line? IHMIC. lt happened in Boston. And.thoro was "loud cheering" when tho vote was announced. Tlic question was. whether tho national association of stationary engineers should bar a negro from membership simply be cause ho was a nogro, and tho negro was barred. Not Wanted. It is now said that the southern negro is not wanted in tho national Republican convention, lt will bo a lily whlto af?alr if thc bosses can manago it. Tho negro voto ls all that is wanted now; ho must stay in tho background. CAPT. H. C. I HOY WARD, (jly fi)|u ti.-sv "f Tho Columbia Sin to.) A Mass Meeting in Hi? Honor Held at WaUcrboro. HE MAKES A GOOD SPEECH. Thc I ?copi o oi'Capt. Hey ward's Homo County Gai her ai tho County Heat to Honor 'l'hoir Follow* Ci ti-/.on. The. fl rs t public demonstration made In Itonor of Capt. 1). C. Ileyward since ho announced his candidacy for the Governorship In .lune of last year oc curred at his home in Waltcrboro Thursday evening, when the people of his county gathered to hear testimony Lo their approval ol' tile action of thc voters of Soul h Carolina in selecting their fellow citizen to be the Demo cratic nominee for Governor of South Oaroliha. Although ht; oiindidacy was :in noil need sixteen months ago, Capt. Ileyward has studiously avoided every .Hort looking to a popular demonstra* lion. Visiting the various counties of the State during tho period prcccedlng the (orinal open lng of the campaign and Terming the acquaintance of the solid md substantial citizens of every sec lion, Capt. Ileyward did so in so unos tentatious a manner that lils over-eon [ i dent opponents scarcely reall/.cd thc remarkable political support which Ibis new factor in South Carolina pol itics was awakening. At every point visited there was no lack of enthusias tic friends, who would gladly have 'Ivon public evidence of their high regard for the man of their chole?, but lt was understood that such a ??jItoWUUI'action would not bo to Capt. . lieyward's liking, and so lt was that throughout thc long months preced ing the second primary there has been inly the steady onward move ol' popu lar favor looking to the final elevation [)f tile modest, hightoned Colleton gentlemen as thc next Governor of thc Slate. On September !), however, tho votes were cast and thc telegraphic bulle tins began to disclose thc fact that Capt. I). C. ileyward, of Colleton,was Actually the choice of th? South Caro lina Democrats for the ollice of Gover nor by an overwhelming majority, and then it was that the pent, up enthusl ism ol' thc good people of Colleton be dail to lie manifested and no restrain ing law could curb the determination if those who had known Clinch Iley ward'best to do him publie, honor and Lo give expression in some palillo way to tho grut! lication and pleasure which Lhey experienced in having their trus ted and honored fellow citizen elected to the high ollice lo which lie aspired md which they realized lie would so worthily till. Thus it was that by ?ommon impulse tho men, women anti children accepted the idea of tender rig a serenade lo t heir distinguished iel low cit|/.en, and that from every section ol' Die county there should lave assembled the gallant sons of Holleton, desirous of evincing hy their ineso.neo in Waltcrboro and by their participation in the serenade thc great pleasure and gratilication which they Felt in having their favorable son 3hoscn for the high ollice to which ho lad just been elected. 'Thc spirit of enthusiasm was not JOH fined solely to thc citizens of Colle ton, for throughout tho assembly ??ii?d be discerned faces familiar In Dorchester, Charleston and Beaufort counties. That so large and represen tative a gathering should ho the out come of a practically Impromptu effort without opportunity for much public ?ntico, is only another evidence of tho popularity of Capt. Ileyward where lie s best known and most loved. The rote of Colleton county may bc accep ted as an earnest of how well lie ita nd? at his home, and it ls tills practically unanimous vote of his neighbors which Capt. Ileyward cher ishes even more than the nomination itself. The vote is truly Indicative if the popular fooling here, for it is impossible to lind anyone in tills coun ty who has il?t a kind word or a song it praise for Clinch Ileyward. Rieh ind poor, high and low, tho Influen tial citizen or thc Inconspicuous labor? sr, each and all, speak highly of their follow townsman and rejoice In thc high honor which has become his. Thc public meeting was hut a con .rete evidence ol their good will and lilgh regard. It ls not surprising, therefore, that the meeting held to night should lia ve boon so well atten ded and that much enthusiasm should have been evidenced. Never before in its history lias tho quiet and retired town of Waltcrboro presented $o,anl mated an appearance as lt did this evening when Allen's Brr Band, preceded by i crches horno ir ie en thusiastic supporters of Cap Iley ward, escorted him to Klein's Park, Where tim speaking and serenado took place.

Ileyward alluded to'tho pride ho felt in receiving in tho' first primary 00 per cent and nj the second 1)8 per cent of th?'vote of his homo county, and that ho would chorlshtlio endorsement of Colloton County as tho most precious horltago for his ohlldron and lils children's children.

In commenting on tbc result of tho lute primary thc Columbia Record, which supported Talbort and Evans j says: "Tile nomination of Oapb. I). 0. I Icy ward for governor is not a sur prise, in view of thc immense lead he had in "tho first primary. It is re markable, however, in view of tbe| fact that one year ago ho was un known lu tho state, politically or otherwise, except |n his qwn county and ampng numerous persona) f\\C\}^H. Ills clean character, added to the fact | that ho had no political rcpord to de fend or to bp attacked, gave him a| grout iidyantftge, and baoUed by asup'r erb organization lija nomination could hardly have been prevented.

Tho Record sup ported him as against Latlmer, and :locs not believe that his dofeat was I 3uo to tlic unfounded charges mado igainst him. Tho fact is that whilo governor he made somo most egregious political blunders which have never been forgotten by those Interested. Add to this the fact that whilo gover nor he also made himself personally unpopular, it is surprising that ho re sewed tho voto ho did.

Tho NouusciUliiK Spcotnolo Furn ibm o<Vll>y Charleston. A spcolal dispatch from Charleston to tho Columbia State says bold and defiant attempts were made In Char leston on Tuesday to .practico fraud In tho primary, and In some Instances tho attempts wore successful. Thcro is a feeling of Intense indignation among tho hotter sentiment of the community and lt is the opinion of all who favor honest elections that dras tic measures should he resorted to that honesty in the future might bo accomplished at the ballot boxes. Concerted efforts wero made Tues day to exclude Von Kolnltv, watch ers from the polls and lt was.not until Chairmen Thayer went in person and overruled thc objection of the mana gers to Von K?ln lu's watchers. Even then the authority of Mr. Thayer was disputed by certain managers, but ho llnaily succeeded lu establishing his rights. He told the managors that ho was conducting tho election and ho wa* responsible for the conditions and that yon Kolnltvn was entitled to have watchers at tho polls, There were many attempts at re peating and in many eases tho at tompts woro sqcocssful In spite of tho vigilant watching, A well known politician said Wednesday that there must have boen at least 400 fraudu lent votes, many of them hoing oast under false names, H. K. Mooro, a druggist, who lives In Ward 1, found that his voto had hocn8tolen from him when he stopped at his precinct to vote for the candi dates of hts choice. Tho managers told him that a man giving lils name as II. K. Mooro had voted early in tho day and that he could not vote. Mr. Mooro pronounced thc vote as, a fraud and stated openly that he would prosecute thc man if he could learn his name, it ls expootcd that tho papers which aro In tho hands ot the solici tor for prosecution of frauds at the first primary be reinforced by evidence of fraudulent attempt? at thc primary Tuesday and that the solicitor will be urged to proceed against thc violators vigorously. It ls understood that the solicitor is satlsllcd that ho has sufll clcnt cyldeneo to seeuro indictments and. is prepared to proceed. A dispatch from Charleston to Tho State says tho press and tho bettor sentiment of Charleston have united in a domand that Solicitor Hildebrand proseouto tho caso of fraud in tho re cent Demooratio primaries and there, ls Uttlo doubt but that thc demand will take formal shape. Tho senti ment of tho community ls aroused , ovor tho rascality that was shown at tho polls in tho Urst and second elec tions and the olty ls In a fair way to j have tho perpetrators brought to Jus tice. A batch of evidence and a long Hst of names of those who partici pated in the fraud ls hoing secured and Solicitor Hildebrand will have hts hands full when the list is forwarded to him. A lloavy Voriliot. Tho largest verdict which has been gotten In the State lately was rendered in Camden Thursday. The suit was brought by William E. boyd against tho Seaboard Air Linc railway for $30,000 on account of Injuries rc- . ceived. Royd, a section foreman, was on a handcar, with several section hands, whon a box car loaded with 200 crosstlcs, having gotten out of thc control of the mon who were loading lt, rushed down tho traok, overtook tho handoar and killed two of thc hands. Royd was maimed, being badly used up. Ile sued the road for $20,000 actual damages, and $10,000 punitivo damages. Tho jury brought In a verdlot for $22,000. Friday morn-, lng Mr. Wm. H, Lyles and Capt. Wm. Shannon, representing the defendant company, argued for either anew trial or a reduction of the verdict. Judge Dantzlcr said ho was convinced that tho verdict was excessive and reduced same to $10,000. Messrs. M. L. Smith and J. T. Hay, attorneys rep resenting tho plaintiff, eloquently pleaded for tho verdict to stand as rend oreel, but asked that If tho j nd go should conclude to reduce lt, not to make it less than $15,000. . It is un derstood that tho defense will appeal to tho supremo court. A Good Soloetion. . Tho hoard of trustees of tho South Carolina College met Friday afternoon In tho library for tho purposo of elect ing a president to succeed Dr. F, C. Woodward. Much discussion was In dulged in, but after careful considera tion the board unanimously agreed to tender tho position to Mr. Charles A. Woods, a prominont member of tho Marlon bar and a man who ls deeply lntorcstcd In higher cduoatlon. A special committee consisting of *Gov. Mcsweeney, Col. John T. Sloan and Superintendent of Education Johii J. McMahan was appointed to visit Mar lon and extend tho Invitation to Mr. Woods. Although a groat many ap plications had been received by tho board and Mr. Woods was not an ap plicant, oven by way cf utterance, tho seleotlon was made only after much meditation and because Mr. Woods was considered tho mo^, desi rabio man for the position. The only fear of tho board was that ho might refuse tho presldonoy and lt ls with this point in vlow that tho invitation committee will bo sont to Marlon.--Columbia State. A DOaorvctl Complimont. Tho Columbia Record says: "A prosperous and progressive cittzon was heard to oxpress tho hopo that Hoy ward's administration would bo like MoSweonoy's In ono respect at least, and that is tho abscco of so much politics and tho presence of moro business. - This ls a high and desorved compliment to Govornor Mcsweeney and lt's a good courso to follow. Our political dlfforonces have beon settled at tho ballot box and lot them stay settled until tho next timo. In tho interim ovorybody ont to pull for the upbuilding of tho material, interosts of the state." "TUM tariff should be revised by Its friends!" shout tho Ropubltoan organs, and as thex friends of tho tariff aro Its chiof beneficiaries revision is a romoto possibility if left to them. WENT EORITALBEItT, i Ono of tho Groat?stJSurpriaos of tho Primary. A CONSERVATIVE STRONGHOLD Yt* Voted Against Hayward, l'or Clover* nov, but Clavo lattimer a Very Small Majority. Tl io Columbia Record says tho re sult 01' the olcotlon In Richland coun ty ls the surprise of tho day. It waa so generally believed up to Tuesday that 1 loyward would get so ? over whelming ii majority in tho county that when tho statement.was made late in tho afternoon that Talbert was making a great and , close run with him, the report was received with in credulity. Tho first returns showed that there was something in thc state ment. Up town wards showed that v Hey ward by no means had a walk over, and when ward' 5 turned up al most unanimous for Talbert, tho Hey- 1 . ward men saw that the jig was up. Tho majority was not large, but still it was there. Explanation^ Well, nearly every body has a different ono. Sonio say tho morning papor's course did it; others thought South Carolinian's" article in The Record cut a considera ble figure; others said one side got to gether and voted solid, willie tho other divided; and, finally, one man vontured thc opinion that it happoncd just buuause the people voted that, way, and that is a fact beyond a doubt. Any man can take his olioico of all theso reasons, but thc last ono ls tho only certain and undisputed' one. County returns wore received by the executive committee at tho court house. They came in pretty'fast and by ll o'clock every prectnot had been heard from except Horrell Hill and Gadsden, and neither of them turned ; up during the night; hut as ncithor were expected Lo chango tho general; rosult, tho crowd was satisfied so far as their curiosity to know the result was concerned. At ono time there wore Ave hundred people in tho court house listening to tho roturns. In such a crowd th^"^ - -^ was much noise and r^.r^*^^<'ffdlt was hard for many peopio to hear the votes announced. - Secretary - Logan finally persuaded Col. Frost to an nounce thc returns as they were re ceived. Col.: Frost was happy, as it was evident front tho - roturns that ho was elected, ;and lie y had his. ., JPlee . ulong with him. Evorybo^y knows ' what that is when, ho gets it in good working order, for it can put to shame any other man with a mcgaphono. Suffice it to say that everybody could hear when Col. Frost got in action, and the crowd owes lilm a voto of thanks. - Thorc wore several fellows on hand who had moulded with Fust X and though they were quiet noisy at times tiley were in good humor and their sometimes witty remarks served to keep thc crowd in a good humor Tal- . hort men were on hand in good num bers and tho placo rang with cheers as. . anything favorable to him waar'an nounced. But this didn't last long for as tho totara for tho state wore announced fxom timo to time it was shown that Ileyward had a good lead. Talbort men took a back seat and the Hey ward crowd had their inning and there was noise enough to wake the dead almost. Secretary Logan had made arrange ments with thc South Carolina long distance telephone company to rccolvc^_^ the roturns from those counties in^ts territory and the service was^uite satisfactory. In tho city Lati/mer got, 1,000 votes to Evans 958, pj majority of 102. Latimcr carried every uptown ward, but Evans' 350 to'Latimor 125 votes in ward 5 brought him up so close. ^ ' Hoy ward only carried tho city by 70. votes, tlj.o results hoing 1?095 and 1,019. ' Again ward 6 was tho deter mining factor, Talbert getting 360 to 123 for Ileyward. But in tho up town wards Talbort ran closor to Hoy ward than anyone would have thought boforo tho election was held. Latimcr and Evans ran neck to neck in tho county, whllo Talbert beat - Ileyward at nearly every county precinct, there being two exceptions, Eastovor and Garner's. Crushed Und.or a Kook. A very sad ending came to tho fun and frolic of a group of boys who were playing together Friday afternoon near tho Carolina cotton mills, in Greenville, when Joe Grcallsh was fa tally injured. Tho boys wore digging tho dirt from around a huge rock, which it is thought would weigh up wardsof 2i000 pounds, when it sud denly rolled down thc embankment, In which lt Was ?mbcdlcdj knooHlng' Joe down, break lpg1 his back, both, legs and otherwise; Injuring him.
