WILL BE LOOKED INTO f If Found as Reported it is Very Apt p to Result in Another Primary lie ing Ordered in the Governor's Election and Other Ollices That May be Affected. There seems to have been much fraudulent voting In Spartanburg, Anderson and other counties, which will bo investigated and if found true the boxes where they occurred will be thrown out. The Spartanburg Herald of Thursday says: The county democratic executive committee of which E. L. Archer is chairman and Samuel T. Lanham is secretary, will meet at the qjurt house at noon today to canvass the returns to the Democratic primary election of last Tuesday. Nearly all the ballot boxes and return Kh.'ots wore broucht in yester (lay and (lie few remaining ones will bo delivered this morning. The committee will have a long and arduous session. This county polled about ] <),500 votes, the largest In its hisvtory. About ninety candidates were voted for. To compile the results will be a long task. The committee will also pass on contests. It^e reported that complaints will bo made of illegal voting at a number of boxes. At Trough, it is said a large number of men voted who were strangers in the community. In other places, it is said, names were placed on the. enrollment lists after the rolls had been closed. Severa' cases have.been mentioned of men who wore enrolled and supposedly voted at several precincts. John Gary Evans, chairman of the "* ' 1 ... ( In nvnmitiirn n A m til ?f too ut'iuuui ant cacvuuivi vu>wn> received telegrams and telephone .messages yesterday from Greenvillo, Anderson and a number of other counties notifying him of wholesale frauds in the election. These will be taken up in all probability at the meeting of the state committee in a few days. The Columbia Record of Thursday afternoon says there are rumors in circulation that there is a probability of several of the Columbia boxes being contested. Also information has been received that tho entire vote of . Anderson couniy has been contested, fraudulent'balloting b'^ig alleged. Persistent and repeated rumors are in, circulation on the streets that the entire vote of Ward A will be contested, but 011 what grounds could not be ascertained. The source of these rumors of a protest could not bo traced, but likely some action will be taken. There is also a posibility of the boxes of Ward 3, Club No. 2, being contested, also those of , Waverly. From the number of contests reeported from many parts of the State, the executive committee, when it i ?i.~ ^r IZlf'CMH Ill'I U U) llilllvaSi! llic vuic vi 111& primary and declare the nominee, will havo a largo task on its hands. Reports have been received here that the entire vote of Anderson county has been contested, the complaint being th;U considerable more votes were cast than names appearing on the club rolls. If this is true and the executive committee sustains the protest, it will materially effort the reBult of the prjmary. Covornor Please has a majority of 2,350 votes from this county. It is charged that in Cherokee County that there several boxes In the county whore republicans were allowed f'o vot*e; that the vote at some precincts was incorrectly counted and that at another box minors were allowed to vote. It is also stated that at one box in the county ten TTnjon county men were allowed to vote. *PET' KITTKV SAVES GIKIi. From Drowning !>y Going to IIou.se to Get Child's Mother. A pet kitten saved twelve-yearold Olive Henderson, of Venice, Cal., from probable death Tuesday. The child and the kitten had gono for a walk, and after a time the kitten returned alone. When it saw the girl's mother, it began to "meow" and started away. Mrs. Henderson did not follow and the kitten returned to, renew its complaining, and again started away. At last the mother followed. The kitten led tho way to the end of an amusement pier, where the child was* found hanging head downward from a largo spike. She had fallen from the pier and her clothing had caught in the spike. Life guards rescued tho girl. She was barely conscious and was unable to make an outcry loud enough to be heard by prdmenaders on tho pier. < ? + Giggling Girls Arrested. Because tlioy giggled and talked too loud, the Rev. Mr. Curtis, pastor of the Baptist church in tho North Carolina district, got indignant and had two young women, daughters of L. J. Walters, lodged in jail on a charge of distrubing public worship.

RECOUNT ANDERSON VOTE +, No Contest Planned So Ear, Although Rumors of Fraud. No contest of the votes cast in the election in Anderson was planned for Thursday when t'no executive committee meets at noon to canvass the returns. Humors have been about since the polIs closed Tuesday to the effect that in some of the boxes more ballots were cast than names appearing 011 the polling lists; that some minors were allowed to vote; that ballots for State otllcers cast in county boxes and vice versa, were counted as legal votes; that some were allowed to cast ballots at more than one precinct and some managers of election called In outsiders to count tho votes. These reports are in the shape of ru? i J mors, however, and as iar as cuuiu he learned Wednesday night, no man or set of men had planned to bring fheso rumors to the attention of the executive committee. The main fact of approximately 1,f?00 votes cast over of two years ago has been looked ?n by some with suspicion, and from a member of the executive committee it is learned that the committee would make a recount of the returns. All actions looking to a contest, ft is said, will depend on the outcome of tho recount. What results a recount wll bring out are problematical. Some Jones supporters have been heard to say that it is possible that several hundred votes will bo thrown out, while some lUeaso followers have been heard to remark that a recount is but folly and they ??o not fear that the results will be changed any. m Perish in the Flames. At Rutherford, N. J., Mrs. Emillo Debar and six of her seven children, ranging in age from five months to twelve years, perished early Friday In a tiro which destroyed tneir home.

The following statement was Issued Thursday by Governor Dlcase: To the Democratic Voters of South Carolina: On Tuesday the Democrats of this State decided la behalf of an honest, clean campaign against the use of money, whiskey and falsehoods, their decision being written in behalf of honor. Two vears before, in an interview, (on September 3 4,) speoking of the J primary election in the race for Governor, Senator B. It. Tillman said: "This is a remarkable illustration of what little influence our newspapers have. They have been so unfair and unjust that they are discredited by the people." What he said then has been more than emphasized in this election, but I do not care to rehash the bitterness and the filth which South Carolina has passed through for the last three months and I hope that it may bo possible for me to forget and to forgive. God in His all-wise Providence, has protected me, and through tlio voice of the people, which is the voice of God, has given to mo tho greatest victory ever known to the world.

The government soldiers afe murdering all the rebels they can catch and the rebels are doing the same thing. The general opinion of about 00 per cent, of the people is against Madero, but they swallow their dislike in order to save something of the country, and have somo sort of a government to protect them. "The country is broke and the Madero family is getting rich. The Standard Oil will finally get the concessions they are after in .this country.

The following article on how the counties and sections voted in the primary election will bo read with interest by those who like to keep up with such things. We take it from The News and Courier: Of the 4 1 counties in South Carolina, the returns as reported show that Governor lileaso carried 25 and iii.io-Q ifimou 17 Two motilities. Jus per and Chester, failed to give cither Jones or Mease a majority; the former having given 13lease a plurality and latter having cast exactly the same, vote for both Jones and Mouse. Governor Mease drew his strength chielly from the Piedmont section of the State, a section in which it had been claimed, a sentiment had set strongly towards Jones in the last three weeks of the campaign. Tho results did not justify these predictions. Anderson, Cherokee, Oconev, Pickens, Spartanburg, Union and York all gave Blease big majorities. Clarendon, Colleton, Chesterfield, Horry, Kershaw, Laurens, Leo, Lexington and Saluda also went for him heavily. The largest majorities obtained by Judge Jones were in the lower and eastern sections of the State. Charleston, Orangeburg, Sumter, Beaufort, Edgefield, Calhoun, Georgetown, Lancaster, Hampton, and Marion were the counties in which ho had the longest leads counties except Lancaster are south cf Columbia. Here is a list, although in several instances the figures are not ofiicial, of the counties which lined up for Blease and the majorities which they gave him: Abbeville, 12; Aiken, 117; Anderson, 2,299; Barnwell, 101; Berkeley, 170; Cherokee, 552; Colleton, 354; Dillon, 11; Dorchester, G7; Florence, 33; Horry, 516; Kershaw, 4 13; Laurens, 343; Lee, 212; Lexington, 2 15; Newberry, 158; Oconee, 359; Pickens, 865; Richland, 31; Saluda, 334; Spartanburg, 539; Union, 4 19 and York, 3 88.

Governor tBlease's majority exceeded live hundred in six counties, namely, Anderson, Cherokee, Clarendon, Horry, Pickents and Spartanburg, ludge Jones' majority exceeded live hundred in three counties; namely, Charleston, Edgefield and Orangeburg. The News and Courier stated Thursday that the largest majority obtained by Judge Jones was in Orangeburg. This was not corect. Iiis largest majority was in Charleston, nangeburg is second on the list. Anderson, of course, led the voting lor Jovernor Please?and that by nearly two thousand. ? DE.WAAb A ilECOUNT. ? Too Many Votes Claimed to be Polled in Newberry, When the Democratic Executive Committee of Newberry County met to canvass the vote of that county on Thursday, a petition was presented asking for a recount of the vote ot the county, hut without a dissenting vole the petition was laid on the table. The recount was asked because of the large increase in the vote this year over that of two years ago. The petitioners then gave notice that they would appeal the case to the State Democratic Executive Committee. A dispatch from Newberry says the increase of the vote in that county over two years ago convinces many that a largo number of fraudulent votes were cast. The vote for governor there in tlio ii'-st primary of 11)10 was 2,182 and in the second primary 2,555. This year the vote is 2,02 8. There is no doubt in the minds of thinking persons that the vote for governor in the State is at least 20,000 more than it ought to be, I and they are asking what the State! executive committee is going to do about it.

Though the Governor's idea at present is to make a number of speeches in some of the more important cities of the country, these speeches is no senso to be a swing around the circle or stumping tour, it is admitted that the exigencies of the campaign may necessitate changes in the programme adopted. Mr. Bryan has airanged his own itinerary to begin about September 10. lie will speak for the most part in the middle west, beginning, it is said, in Nebraska, taking in Wisconsin, Minnesota, North and South Da kota, Montana, Illinois and Ohio. In these states, Mr. Bryan will make big stumping tours, but be will also devote as much time as possible to stat03 east of the Mississippi river. While Mr. Bryan is concentrating on the northwest and middle wesj, Speaker Clark will tour the southwest. After his three speeches in Maine, next week, ho will proceed to Missouri, Colorado, New Mexico and Arizona.

WILL THKY ADMIT 11IM? * Comniittco Not Knowing; Their Color, Favored Them. Whether negro lawyers hereafter aro to bo admitted tin members was one of the subjects before the American Bar Association which opened its thirty-fifth annual meeting at Milwaukee Tuesday. The question arose in a special report of the executive committee declaring that "Although it has been the settled practice of the association to elect only white men as members," three negro members, including William IT. Lewis, assistant to the United States Attorney-General bad been seated by 'ho committee in ignorance of their race. The committee rescinded the action and allowing the men to remain qualified as n "> mi noes for membership asked the entire association to vote on question. Attorney-General Wickersham announced tliat ho would inako a strenuous flgb t. Owing to the length of the opening address it. was believed the evocative committee's report unseating Lewis because he is a negro would not he considered until later. The governor told a thousand lawyers from all parts of the country that the "people were becoming tired of judicial usurpation and settlement law cases on technicalities rather than merit." The address of the president, S. S. Gregory took up tho latter part of the morning session. BABY FALLS TW10NTY FFFT. ? Falls From Second Story Veranda and Was Only Bruised. B. IT.

John D. Archbold pictured to the public as a political manager and the directing genius of the Standard Oil Company took the witness stand before the Senate Committee Friday to /' ive his version of the campaign contribution in I'Ju l, now a subject, of dispute between Senator Penrose and Uoosevelt. The star witness appeared half an iour before the appointed time. Ho vas followed shortly afterwards by Senator Penrose. Messengers were hurried out after Senators Oliver and omercue who are to sit as members of the committee. Finally the committee assembled nnd Archbold was sworn. Senator Clapp asked him what contributions the Standard Oil Co. made to the campaign in 1004. "We made two contributions, one to Cornelius Bliss f a hundred thousand dollars and one to Penrose, of twenty thousand dollars, replied Archbold. lie believes the hundred thousand dollar contribution was made sometime in September. lie thought about the ; middle of the month, his recollection was that it was given to Bliss in currency when ho was alone in Arch| hold's o'lice. "Wo had had a talk about politics and c mtribulions and I said the matter would have to be submitted to w 111 uuuiu , 11 ? :is siiuiiiKtcii iiiia mo board decided to contribute," said Vrchbold, answering the questions A rch bold said the payment to Penrose probably vas in currency. "You were the men in the Standard Oil Company who had charge of these political matters?" asked Clnpp. "Only in Pennsylvania and Ohio where I'd known relations," Archbold said. lie said ho talked later with Bliss, concerning further contributions and he thought H. II. Rogers was present. Afterward he decided to make no further contributions. "I talked frankly with Bliss and told him we wanted to make this contribution but not wltnout the knowledge of the powers that be." We wanted it understood it was appreciated by Roosevelt. BHsa smilingly assured rno that this would bo the case. Archbold continued: "We decided that our interest as business organization lay on the Republican side. Nothing was decided about distaributlon. It was the company's money. There was some talk about objections to contributions from certain sources." "Had you any knowledge that this contribution bad been made known (o Roosevelt?" "The only assurance enmo from Bliss through myeonforenco with hint," said Archbold, explaining why they paid it in currency. Archbold smilingly said he didn't suppose there was a desire on the part of either for publicity. At a subsequent conference regarding further contribution which was refused Archbold sand miss gave him to understand that "further contributions would bo .acceptable to Roosevelt." Witness referred to attacks upon the Standard Oil which lie regarded as unjust, that Bliss told him lie sympathized with us but could do nothing. The attacks lie said .were made / by James A. Garfield and Herbert | Knox Smith, both of whom had been I commissioners of corporations. "Roosevelt unfailingly approved those attacks without investigation ar the slightest knowledge of facts," ho added. "And there was more than coincidence in the appearance of adverse reports, every time we were concerned in court litigation or every time legislation appeared in Washington in which wo wore interested. Rarfleld and Smith were more puppets who jumped when Roosevelt p ul> h1 strifigs." When asked if he thought the refusal to make a further contribution had anything to do with the so-called unjust investigations, Archbold bit Ids lip and finally replied, "Well, I don't know." "Do you know that Bliss reported to Roosevelt that you declined a further contribution," asked Pomerene, "I assume of course., that it was re ported. I don't know in what shape the report was niado, but undoubtedly it was made," ho answered. Afto Archbold concluded members ti of the committee conferred over the ndvisihilit.v of pnlllnc 17 w ^ WQVT' ? Clt *VF ^'vSj testify. Penrose wants Hoosevelt summoned.
