j ne following t in i on..
to irregular or fraudulent voting in
the first primary was made by the
.^ub-committee of the Democratic
JSiate executive committee appointed
to investigate the many charges of
fraud in the first primary:
Abbeville County?The boxes of
Antreville arid Cold Springs are the
boxes about which there is any
question, fn those it seems that the
managers were not sworn, and some
?f the voters were not sworn. Of
the votes cast 'at those boxes Gov.
XHeaae received 186. Judge Jones 50,
J.iuncan 6. Total 2 4 2.
Aiken County?This county was
<varefuliy abstracted. The "otes at
the Hath precinct were challenged
" ^ ! ? - - ? ^ t / . ,4 a! t ho
ana tne prooi is UIIUI^pu icu iiiau wuu
mana^rs were not sworn. At that
precinct there were 149 votes cast,
in addition 'to that irregularity, it
-was proved by affidavits that a number
of parties voted who were not
citizens of South Carolina. Nearly
:all of them, however, voted at Hath
precinct and are embraced in 149
votes. A few other votes were cast
*,y parties that were charged with
rot being eligible to vote, running
the total number of challenged votes
in Aiken county to 18 9.
Anderson County?fn Anderson
county there appears to have been
~Sh2 votes cast by voters not on the
?club roll and one case by a colored
man without the proof required by
#.he rules of the party.
As far as the committee examining
the poll lists were able to report,
there wore 78 instances of the same
name being on the club roll more
than once, running from two to five
times, and in one instance as high as
-eight. The average is safely three.
A large number of affidavits showing
that in many instances this occurred
by there being several persons
of the same name have l>een men
-with us and are herewith submitted
'with the evidence.
Total challenged in Anderson
county, 4 87. This running down of
duplicates extended down through
the letter "f".
Herkeley County?The authorities
reported ten votes cast by persons
not on tke club roll and one alien voted.
Affidavits were filed that liquor
was used at Friendship precinct b>
county candidates.
Charleston County?The newspaper
there published the club rolls
and the authorities at our expense
made an alphabetical list, of fhe pol
lists, but they were not published ir
the paper.
The club rolls and poll lists havt
been checked partially against each
other and no irregularities found.
Cherokee County?There is reported
votes of 2.1 persons not on the
club roll, but the committee of the
**/-*11nfv Rxemitive committee reported
that (hoy woro satisfied that there
was no fraud practiced in the olec
tion in Cherokee county, but some ir
regularities.
Tti Darlington county there are 1f
voaos apparently irregular and unexplained.
There were. 5 7 votes at l>a
mar reported as not being on the clul
roM. The report of the manager?
shows that they were on the elul
roll Which was formerly adopted, but
in attempting to transcribe from thai
roll to tfie alphabetical roll these
names w,ere left off, and that tbe>
used the official roll and every mar
voted was on the roll.
In Dillon 4.1 names were added tc
the certified dlub roll on the day oi
the election, hut the affidavits state
that, they were taken from the old
cdub roil used two years ago, not having
been brought forward before the
roll wjih oortlfied to.
The committee has received lot tor?
:hargl-ng that 34 men voted at. the
Maple mills and also at Dillon, and
that one mm voted nt Imtta and alar
at Klrhy, and that no poll 11 str ot

SHOT IN HIS STORE
|
A COLORED MERCHANT KILLED
BY RUBBERS
NEGROES DiD SHOOTING
?
Ceorge Hanl'ord, a Colored Merchant
| of Dai'lingtoii, Was Shot to Death
in His Store in that City on Thursday
Night I>y Two Xegro ltobbers,
Who Made Their Escape.
A special dispatch from Darlington
to The News and Courier s:ty3
Ceorge Han ford, colored, was shot
and killed in his store at the corner
or Main Street and Avenue D, Thursday
night about nine o'clock. There
were no witnesses to the shooting exI
copt the two negroes who did the
shooting and made their escape.
J Elias Davis, an aged negro, who
lives with Hanford and his wife in
the small house adjoining and attached
to the store, was sitting on the
piazza and heard the shot, and saw
two negroes leave in a run.
Robbery was the motive, it is
thought, as it is said the same negroes
held up and robbed Elias Furman
in his store about two blocks
away just before the killing of Hanford
occurred. They took about $30
if ^ am
l i win r ui mail
Peter Smalls, also colored, was at
the Furman store at the time of the
robbery, and he and Furman identified
one of the three susbects arrestI
ed Thursday as being the one that
went through his pockets while the
other one held a pist ol on him.
Apparently they had robbed Hanford
and were making their way out
of the store, and owing to Hanford's
loud cries and shouts of "robbers"
they turned back; and it seems that
Han ford must have been following
them towards the door, and he, too,
turned when he found they were
coming back because it was Just at
this time that the shot was fired an 1
from an examination of the wound
it was found that the ball had entered
from the back and made Its way1
through his heart and out of his|
chest.
An Inquest was held over the re
mains of Hanford Thursday by Cor- i
cner John IT. Kelly, and a jury found j
that the deceased came to his death :
from wounds inflicted by some per-1
son or persons unknown to them. I
Sheriff Register and his deputies;
have been dilligent and have exert-!
ed themselves vigorously in their efforts
to apprehend the guilty ones.
Three negroes were arrested at Darlington
the following day. All strangers.
Circumstances, together with
the identification by Furman and
Small, point strongly to the guilt of
the accused. There is less proof
against the other two, but upon being
arrested they were found to have
pistols on them, and are now being
held to answer for this offence.
TRAIN' GOK& INTO DITCH.
- ....
Kngine and Three Cars of Passenger
Tiain Derailed.
Passenger Train No. 3 2 from Augusta
to Florence was wrecked jus-t
as if a*.' roached the stiiin at r,e

. injured. lie was thrown our on the
side that the engine fell an ! was ourieri
under the coal from the tender
11 r:ti 1 only his head and hands were
lett out.
Ills escape was a most remarkable
one, and he would have been very
much worse injured had It not been
for the fact that he remained conscious
and could direct tne rescuing
party in their work of digging him
out from the coal and wrecked tender.
His ankle was terribly dislocated
and there were concussions on
his head and body, but Dr. Gregg,
who met him at Sumter says that the
injuries will not be serious.
This samo foot was injured I* an

I attention to Mr. Wysong's injuries.
