The Herald publishes above a tabulation of the votes cast in the second primary election held on Tuesday of this week, so far as the paper has been able to obtain the returns. Readers will try to remember that the figures are unofficial, taken in with ha?te over the telephone, and telegraph lines, some brought in by hand by messengers who wrote them down hurriedly after the managers had completed the count. According to the table. A C Murrnll has been nominated over N E Ilardwica for Countv Supervisor. J A Lewis has been nominated for Sheriff over B J Sessions, by a | very small margin of votes. M M Sfcauley has been elected as one of the representatives from this County. None of the other three candidates has received a majority of the votes cast, and the County willjhave what, it has never had before, a third primay the race to be made by the two highest of the other three, to wit, W L Mishoe .1 TO T CI ULMi Pj ? ourrwunu, All of the above results are subjrc t to be changed by the official count, when the executive committer meets in the next day or two.

Ii will be seen by those acquainted with the territory, that this district embraces some of the most fertile lands in the County, even under the adverse drainage circumstances heretofore existing.

P. Little Re-elected After Exciting Campaign VARIOUS CHARGES MADE Thers Were no Contests an to Any of the Wards, Except as to Wards One and Two?The Bittersst Town Cam paign in its History?Filling Home With Disgust no Doubt, The election for Mayor and six Wardens of the Town of Conway, came off last Tuesday, the polls beiug open from 8 o'clock until 4, just as the County election, held at the same time. This was without doubt the bitterest and most exciting contest that Conway has ever had, there being various charges and counter charges of graft and other things between the two rival candidates for Mayor, Messrs. H P Little and A C Thompson. There were no contests as to any of the six wards, except in the first and the second. The result of the election as to Wardens was as follows: Ward 1?Two candidates. W B Chest nut receiving 22 votes, and J M McKeithan 20, W B Chestnut being elected. Ward 2?Two candidates, J E Nicho las receiving 27 votes, aud 11 W Ambrose 14, J E Nicholas being elected. It was stated that in this ward, at a meeting held beforehand, for the purpose of nominating a warden, Mr J E Nicholas was nominated, and that Mr Ambrose ran independently. Ward 8 ? Charles Dusenbury was elected without opposition. Ward 4 ?J O Norton was elected without opposition. Ward 5?S T Sessious was elected without opposition. Warci t*?V G Anderson was eleoted without opposition. The vote for the two candidates for Mayor was as follows, H P Little being elected: H P Little 109 A C Thompson 82 The race between the two candidates for Mayor gotlivoly last week, when Mr A C Thompson published _ UaaI nnn/iH ? ? n "1 ill mill m 11 If i ri (T 1 (1 U ^ UUtll | J it JJO K CI) 14 uiv/iv/ ixj .% n i grave charges against H P Little the present encumbent, and contain ingacopy of a letter which Mr Thompson stated he had received in typewriting cqarging him with receiving a bribe of 125.00 in connec tion with the purchase, while he was a member of the town counsel, of a fire engine several years ago The article charged as we are in formed that Mr Little had stated that the letter had been written to Mr Thompson by Thompson himself. Anyway the article which started the trouble was published* in the last issue of the paper before the election, and H P Little had to reply oy printing and distributing circulars. This counter article printed in circular form was a denial of all charges, and stated counter charges. On the morning of the election Mr Thompson came out with another circular, answering the countrr charges, and making others. There was much matter contained in those articles which we hardly think is tit to publish?at least, it is better left ofl". Such things are apt to make life-long enemies between men who would otherwise be friends. We will not attempt to give the contents of these articles at this time. Much interest was manifested in the election by the voters of the town. By some it was compared to the race tietween Jones and Blease. Nearly all day men stood in groups about the streets and discussed the situation, and there was much speculation as to the out-come, until in the late afternoon when the votes were counted up and the result declared. The two candidates for Mayor, one day last week, just before the article came out in she paper, had some words on the street, and from that time the interest in the race seemed to increase.
