ANSEL LEADS IN
GOVERNOR'S RACE.
MANNING SECOND AND BLEASE
THIRD. *
Lyon Leads Over Both His Oppo
nents—South Carolina Knocks the
Dispensary.
Columbia. Aug. 2!b—3. a. in.—With
about 50.000 votes heard from out of a
possible 100.000 the result of the De
mocratic primary yesterday is fairly
well known. For governor, Mr. M. F.
Ansel, of Greenville, has a long lea l
and his n arest competitor is Senator
Richard I. Manning, of Sumter. These
two will make the second race. Mr.
Manning distanced his next man by
several thousand votes.
In the race for attorney general Mr.
J. Fraser Lyon, of Abbeville, is far in
the lead, and it is very likely that he
will be elected over both bis oppo
nents. but tin* large vote received by
Col. Leroy F. Youm.ans was a sur
prise to many people.
For secretary of State it appears
that Mr. R. M. McCown, of Florence,
may be elected on the first ballot
over ail opponents.
Col. Boyd a Winner.
Col. John C. Boyd, of Greenville,
lias run away from his opponent, for
adjutant general. Major Lewis W.
Hiskell, of Richland, .and is an easy
winner. For comptroller general the
race is very close between the incum
bent, Mr. A. \Y. Jones, of Abbeville,
and Mr. C. L. Walker, of Greenville,
but Mr. Jones has a majority of the
votes so far reported.
The s~ oond race for railroad com
missioner wil] be made by Col. John
H. Wharton, of Laurens, incumbent,
and Mr. J. M. Sullivan, of Anderson,
unless the result is changed by later
returns.
Tillman Scratched.
Senator Tillman whs s'evorely
scratched all over the State, but in
many places the vote for Tillman was
not counted, owing to the interest,
and it is impossible to sav what is
the extent of the scratching. Union
county seems to be the banner coun
ty in the scratching line.
The contests for county officers and
for the legislature excited more in
terest of the voters than the State
contests in many counties and the
counting of the county ticket first has
delayed the returns on the State
ticket
The Dispensary.
It is impossible to tell at this time
what will he the sentiment of the
next legislature on the dispensary
question, hut theye are significant
facts standing out. For instance:
“Hub” Evans is not elected to the
house from Newberry, where Fraser
Lyon for attorney general hailed with
a fine vote. In Anderson, Belton Wat
son is defeated for the senate by G.
W. Sullivan, an anti-dispensary man.
In Union B. F. Townsend, dispensary,
appears to have defeated L. J. Town
send, anti-dispensary, for the senate.
In Richland F. H. Weston is elected
to the senate over Col. John C. Has
kell.

KILLED GILA MONSTER.
- * " ^
An Excitinq Time at Toxaway Mills
in Anderson
(Anderson Mail.)
Bob Griffin, who is manager of the
company store at the Toxaway mills,
was told yesterday afternoon that
some of the children were trying to
kill a snake under one of the cot
tages in the mill village, and that
they wanted him to come and help
them. He went.
When he look-ed under the house
he almost jumped out of his skiu.
For it wasn’t a snake that the child
ren were trying to kill, hut ,a great
big lizard, about eighteen inches
long and with a color like that of a
highland moccasin. It had four feet
and was built much on the plan of an
alligator. When the thing saw Mr.
Griffin it stood on its hind legs and
hissed like a goose.
Mr. Griffin has ,a good nerve. He
met the emergency. He got a piece
of scantling and killed the strange
reptile, and then he yelled for Wiley
Strickland, the village policeman.
The policeman came on a run. He’
took one look, and then said that he
hadn't been feeling very well for
several, days and that he guessed he
had better go up town and consult
a doctor. Griffin begged him to take
th>* dead animal along with him, and
that Strickland agreed to do. You
see. he knew he would tell the people
wlnt he had seen and he fear <1 they
might not believe him. He thought
it best to take the thing along as
proof to those who might doubt his
word. He tied a long string around
the dead creature and dragged it. up
to the business part of the city, and
there it attracted a great deal of at
tention. A large crowd quickly gath
ered. and all hands looked on in won
der.
Finally one man said, “Why, it’s
that thing they have had down at
Buena Vista park, or one just like it."
A telephone message to the park
brought the information that the gila
monster, a recent addition to the zoo.
had gotten away. Nobody knows
how it sot out of the cage in which
it had been confined. There is a sus
picion that it must have been deliber
ately turned loose by some evily dis
posed person, as the cage was very
stout and had no holes through
which the animal could have escaped.
The gila monster was placed in the
park some weeks ago through the
kindness of Mr. C. Frank Bolt. He
saw these animals while on a visit
to Arizona about n year ago, and has
been trying to get one for the park
ever since. He got Rev. C. Wardlaw,
who recently moved from this sec
tion to Arizona, to help him. Mr.
Wardlaw got a man in his country to
capture one and shipped it to Mr.
Bolt bv express.
The gila monster, as it is called. Is
peculiar to the dry. arid plains of
Arizona and New Mexico. It belongs
to the lizard family, hut is much
arger than the ordinary lizards of
this country . The adults are about
two feet long. They are copper
colored, and their bite is very poison
ous. This is said to he the onlv liz
ard whose bite is poisonous. They
live on birds, frogs, etc. The breath
of the gila monster is ’’“ry odorous
and it is overpowering to small ani
mals and insects. The gila monster
captures its prey bv getting within a
few feet of the bird, or whatever it
wants to capture, and blowing its
breath on it. The fumes of the rep
tile overcomes the bird or fro" and
then the reptile ambles up at its
leisure and takes its meal.
The reptile that was at the paib
was a most vicious looking thing. It
appeared to he a cross between an
alligator and a ratlesnake. and those
who saw it in its cage were disposed
to keep a respectful distance from
it. The one at the park was the only
one ever seen in this part of the
country. It was a great curiosity and
attracted much attention, but it is not
at all likely that another one will he
secured to take its place. In fact, it
is certain that there will never be
another gila monster at the park.
There is general relief that there
will never be another gila monster at
the park. There is general relief
that the only one Anderson ever had
has been killed.
President Raymond, of Union Col
lege, in his baccalaureate sermon at
Schenectady. N. Y., told the students
that the corruption against which so
great an outcry has been raised was
not new but that ther^ had been a
change in the world’s etica! stand
ards.
