STATUS OF THE COUNT BIea.se Leads for Governor with 33,364, Against Featherstone's !??,D04.?How tlie Other Candidates Ran, and Who Will be in the Second Primary on Tuesday Week. In the *ace for Governor, Cole L. Blease, of Newberry, has maintained a lead over his nearest opponent, C. C. Featherstone, of Laurens. The relative standing of the six candidates for Governor has not been changed since early Tuesday night. Thos. G. McLeod hold third place, John G. Richards fourth, F. H. Hyatt fifth, and John T. Duncan sixth. The total vote in the first primary J will no doubt reach 105,400, some- i what to the surprise of many who expected a much lighter vote. The rains of the Pee-Dee and Piedmont apparently had little effect in keeping the voters from the polls. Spartanburg was the banner county, polling over 8,000 votes. The voting was 11 ?A 1 ? ^ V? ^ AiAiintina w h D r O llglliesi in nit; uuaoi, tuumico n ??v. v the terrific rains of Monday had put the roads in such condition as to detain many from the polls. In the race for Governor, Cole L. Blease has 33,3 64, while C. C. Featherstone has 2 9,96 4, a lead of 3,4 0 0, the latter having more than a 4,00 0 lead over Thos. G. McLeod. The total vote of the other three aspirants amounts to about 16,000. Cole L. Blease, for Governor, carried the counties of Aiken, Anderson, Barnwell, Berkeley, Calhoun, Cherokee, Dorchester, Fairfield, Horry, j Laurens, Lexington, Newberry, Pick- J ens, Richland, Saluda, Union and York. if! n. Featherstone carried the ' counties of Abbeville, Colleton, Greenville, Greenwood, Hamptou, Lancaster, Marlon, Marlboro, Oconee, Orangeburg and Spartanburg. T. G. McLeod received a plurality in the counties of Beaufort, Charleston, Chester, Chesterfield, Clarendon, Darlington, Dillon, Florence, Georgetown, Lee, Sumter and Williamsburg. For Lieutenant Governor, Charles A. Smith, of Timmonsville, is elected, receiving 58,906 votes to 44,001 for E. W. Duvall, a majority of nearly 15,000. For Attorney General, J. Fraser Lyon's vote is 72,585, while that of B. B. Evans i& 27,574, Mr. Lyon being easily re-elected. It appears that both candidates were freely scratched. Col. W. W. Moore, of Barnwell, and Capt. J. M. Richardson, of Aiken, will make the race again for Adjutant General. The most interesting contest in the 1 entire list is the neck and neck race between Hampton and Scarborough ' to determine who shall make the race ' with James Cansler for railroad com- 1 missioner. About 138 votes seperate 1 the two, Hampton leading with 2 2,- 1 634 to Scarborough's 22,496. Can- ~ Bier's big lead is 40,896, being 18,323 over his nearest competitor.

(Advertisement) Mayor ^lease's friends in Newberry, as elsewhere throughout the State, are delighted with the magnificent vote which he received in the first primary on Tuesday, and are confidently expecting hiin to win by a large majority in the second primary. With about 95 per cent, of the total vote of the State heard from, he is several thousand ahead of Mr. Featherstone, his nearest opponent, and he and Mr. Featherstone will make the second race. The heavy vote received by Mr. riianco nn ThorHhv was not confined to any section, but was general throughout the State. Starting out with a handsome majority in his home county of Newberry, and leading in the surrounding counties of Laurens, Saluda, Lexington, Union and Fairfield, he received the flattering endorsement of his fellow-citizens of South Carolina without regard to geographical lines or to vocations in life. Mayor Hlease has been consistent in the positions which he has taken in politics. He is today a local optionist on the whiskey question and we believe the great majority of the people of South Carolina are today in favor of local option?letting ?ne present law alone?because we believe they are tired of the liquor agitation, and are convinced tha'" fHo interests of temperance will best be subserved by local option. Hut it was not on the liquor question that the people gave Mr. Blease the lead in the first race. They recognized his ability, and they want a good economical, business adnunislration, without extravagance 011 the o?i? hand or penury 011 the other With his lead in the first race, Mr. Blease goes into the second race with every prospect of his be.ug M.e next governor of South Carolina, lie has made a clean campaign and w!l. continue to do so, and he will nake 1 good governor. He has been signally honored by his home people and has served thorn v. ith ability and credit to himself and to them in the numerous positions which ne has filled. That he has the confidence of the people among whom he has speyjt his life is shown by his election as mayor of the city last fall, and by the vote which Newberry county gave him on Tuesday.

One passenger dead, another in the hospital with severe cuts and bruises about the head as a result of a panic among the passengers on a car of the Raleigh, N. C., street railway about midnight Thursday.

As they ran between the aisles they knocked rlown and trampled the conductor, c rii jumping from the car, Rachael Bryant sustained concussion of the ? train and died Friday morning; Mary Bryant was severely cut about the lead, but will recover.

The State Democratic committee met late Friday afternoon to canvass the returns of the first Democratic primary. The principal issue at stake, to be settled at this meeting, was whether G. McDullie Hampton or O. C. Scarborough should make the race for railroad commissioner against James Cansler. The oflicial count showed Col. Scarborough lead- ' ing his opponent by over 2,000 votes. The relative standing of the other candidates, and the results as announced above, are very nearly correct. A dispatch from Columbia says it was learned Saturday afternoon that there was a mistake of 11,000 votes in the tabulation made by the State ! executive committee Friday nlg.ht, by which McDuflio Hampton, son of Gen. Wado Hampton, is in the race for Railroad Commissioner with Jas. Cansler, instead of O. C. Scarborough being in the second race. The 1 mistake was In the Greenville vote. < SEND FOR THEM BULLETINS EVERY FARMER SHOULD GET AND READ. Write a Postal Card to Senator Smith or Congressman Lever ami Ask for Those You Want.

'.J TURN THE RASCALS OUT THAT 8 WHAT THE PEOPLE WILL DO IN NOVEMBER. According to tli? Predictions of the New York World the Republican* Will Re Honied. If the predictions of the New York World comes true the Republicans will be routed horse, foot and dragoon next November. Hero is what the World predicts: The size of the Democratic vt: .ory that will be announced on the m >r )ing of November 9 next will be staggering. It will include an overwhelming majority in the house of representatives and a gain of niary United States senators. Onlo, t*ie president's own State, will be lost to the Republicans. New York, the State of the ex-president, will be sweepingly Democratic. Majorities will be so large that people will tire of computing them. <Not through Democratic virtues and abilities but in spite of Democratic blunders and weaknesses are those tilings to come about; not because there are more Democrats than Republicans, but because there are more American progressives than standpatters; not as a rebuke to this man or that man in particular, but a condemnation of many men; not as a rejection of one policy but / as a repudiation of many policieiff~J|L not as an evidence of momentary in- *v dignation, but as voicing the demand of a great and free people for light, for truth, for economy, for pekoe! What are these bitter Republican quarrels but attempts in advance to escape tlie judgment which all konw is at hand? There is a mad rusn for safety. Responsible men are posing as irresponsibles. Old offenders masquerado as innocents. Sacriilces are offered up in the hope that the popular wrath may be appeased. There is talk even of a third term t in the White House for the vocifei- Vu. ous and lawness person under wlioi Cannon and Aldrich and Payne and Sherman and Dalzell got their strangle grip on party and country. In spite of all this there will be no mistake about that which is to take place in November. It is to be more a Republican defeat than a Democratic victory; more a popular uprising against plutocracy and privilege than a party revival; moree a matured verdic t. on Rooseveltism ^ than upon Republicanism; more a re-^y buko of Taft as proxy than of Taft as president; more an expression of hope in Democracy than of faith in Democracy. The election of Dr. Odom and Mr. Connor to the House of Representatives by the handsome vote they received in the first primary over so many competitors is a complement to those gentlemen. We salute them. Found l>end in Hotel. At New York Samuel J. Hlrsch, a manufacturer of Chicago, was found dead in bed with his throat cut in Hotel Knickerbocker Thursday evening.
