In the first pr-imar-y the vote for the leading thre reandidates was very close. Out of less than 100,000 votes cast, Blease, Featherstone and McLeod to gether received 77,292 votes, with six candidates in the race. The vote for these three was as follows: Blease 28,986 Feather stone 2';.1.12, m-cLeod 22.164. Blese fhad a lead over Fe-athe stone of only 2,844, and Feath erstone had a lead over McLeod g only 3,9{8 votes. The Blease, McLeod and Duncan vote wxas the anti prohibition vote. and it amounted to 32284, as against 51.48-6 for the three prohibition ists, wher -as in the secondl piary when a much larger ttai vote was cast. Blease re eived only 16.-50 vptcps to 50, 605 foC rat estone. In the first primary of 1910. which was the. re-al test of the pesonal strength of the candli dtes.Blease received a mnajor-itv in only three ccunties.

Terms e(1C E-' piRT\QI\~U The Intelligent Voter Let's see who is the inteligent voter. When Judge Jones spoke at Hampton he used some langu age that was unnecessary. I voted for Gov. Blease last election for I had no patience with prohibition or a man who advocated it in the State of S. C. while the national constitu tion alowed whiskey to be ship ed in the State. When Judge Jones was announced it struck me very forcibly. But when the legislative committee went to Augusta to hear the testimony of Felder, one with any reason ble idea began to imagine why if Gov. Blease is so easily bribed why do not these individuals who are spending so much mon ey to get something against the governor dont just buy him and run the Government, one would at once believe he was not so easy bribed. One would be lieve he was unjustly ridiculed, I had but little idea as to the pardons and after seeing so much slush in the papers that was unreasonable I was recon cerned to look up the cause of those pardons. The papers has published things tY at had they of been true should not of been published and hurled to the out side world unless they meant to hurt the name of our proud State. When Grace was elected mayor of Charlston sopme of the Greenville papers and several others threw shame at the lit tle city by the sea and pittied it. But when Grace spoke in Green ville the same papers said Grace was not a stranger in Greenville that he was among his friends and relatives. The papers sound to me like what I heard a 1iol to woman say once that she "had no credit never had had any "nor I don't want "nun!" I don't reckpn any of the Spar tanburg people are low enough to regret the rotten egg happen ing its only what ought to of been done. There are other char acters that I would mention but ink is too high priced besides I feel like a bath now since pass ing those I have. M. W. IHester [We would like to Inquire of Mr. Hester what Judge Jones ad to do with the investigating ommittee's meeting in Augus, tal or what the dictagraph said? r what Grace said? If Govern or Blease could have ha'd his way, there would never have been any investigation,. for he vetoed the act creating the com mittee after he had asked the legislature to pass suich a law, and the public would never have known of the grafting from the tigers of Charleston. Why do you charge up to Judge Jones the faults and mistakes of oth ers, if they have been made? He is in no way whatever re sponsible for what t~e leggla ture didl whep the inyestigating committee was created, even though that body acted on Gov. Blease's invitation.-Editor. 1 A Birthday Dinner. There was a birthday dinner at Mr. Warren D. Egg~is' pn the 5th inst.., on which date he was 84 years old. He has seven living children. twenty-four grandchildren, and ten great-grandchildren.

G. F. Kir by, of the Methodist church. Prof. IR. T. Hallum deliver'e; the address of 'y@!?pme. H an. J. J. Mc~wain, oftGreen ville, was the orator of the day. He made an excellent address, dwelling upon the fraternal and social side of the order, and lay inephagig up)4 t4ge insur ance feature. lie stated that since the war about S100,000,000 had been sent north from South Caoln in insurance and only one third of it had returned. For every three dollars sent up north only one returns. It was time, he said, for the South to stop sending their money !to the north, as it was for the South's best interest to keep it at home in their own companies. After Mr. )McSwain's address, Rev. Mr. Kirby made a short speech. The ladies then began preparing dinner. while the crowd had some fun in engaging in a tug of war and apple races. Many joined in the sport. After dinner the monument to the late Sovereign F. E. Cox was unveiled. the Misses Porter withdrawing the veil. The Pickens band furnished most excellent music. A Leap Year Party Thursday evening one of the season's most brilliant social af fairs was giyen my Miss Inez Morris at her home on Hampton avenue,. Invitations were sent out to fifty young people, bid ding them to a leap year party. Each young lady invited a gen tleman to be her escort.

Music, dancIng1 - gresslye conversa tion ana dellplous refreshments were happy features of the eve ning's pleasure. The pleasant memories of this party will lin gpr long with tha bright partici pants, and all were grateful for the hospitality of the hostess. Death of Mrs, W, U& Ueger W~illiam H.
