FULL OF UNCERTAINTY
Tabulation in Unofficial?Liable to be
Changed by Official Count?Much
Interest Manifested by People.
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

Good Moremant for Draiaane in Socaa-1
teeA
petitioQ was recently prepared
asking the CUrk of the Court to
take the necessary procedure to lay
out a drainage district in Socastee
township, described a3 follows:
All that certain poriion of said
Tnjrnshin of Soca?tee lvintf in and
? f- ? / o
around Myrtle Beach and enclosed
within the following lines, that i?
to say, beginning at Myrtle Beach,
S. C., and running thence with the
Conway Coast A. Western Railroad
to Folley Swamp; thence with said
Folley Swamp to Socastee Swamp;
thence with said Socastee Swamp
to the Ark Road; thence the said
Ark Road to the Atlantic Ocean;
thence along the shore line of said
Ocean to the beginning point at
Myrtle Beach; the intention being
to cut canal and ditches up Nigerfield
Swamp, *?he Folley Swamp and
tributaries, Beaver Dam Swamp
and tributaries, Spring Branch
Swamp and tributaries, and any
other ditches or drain ways that
may be necessary to make a complete
main drainage way and braches
thereof tor the whole of said territory;
and the proposed drainage
district to include all lands which
will be drained and benefited therel
1)
uy.
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. With
the completion of the work contemplated,
this section of our county
will become indeed a garden spot.

Editor Herald:
I saw in Mullins Enterprise the

lins had killed and carried to that
oilice a large rattlesnake, the description
of which I will not try to
give here in full. Mr H P Ray
found and killed oue of the following
description: Length 4ft. 11 inches;
across top of head 2 3-4 inches; circumference
8 inches. Had 12 rattles
and one button.
Was found near Mr Collins Chestnut's
place in the Prince Mill
Swamp, Bayboro Township. Messrs.
S M Doeier, and Eddy Ray with
Mr Geo. W. A1 ford are witnesses
to the measurement and weighing
The snake wighed neariy live

H. 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.

in the jail, and lie wps asked to investigate.
lie investigated and
found nothing. On Tuesday morning
after when the authorities went
to get out a lunatic to send off on
the train to the asylum, they found
that the levers controlling the steel
cell doors could not be operated.
Investigation found two pieces of
file that had been placed in the runways
blocking the rollers. Further
investigation discovered where
Stahl had been at work on a part of
the steel side of his cell, in an attempt
to saw his way to liberty. The negro
prisiouers told that Stahl bad
hid the pieces of file in the iron
work of the levers.
