VOLUME XXVI. LAURENS, SOUTH CAROLINA, WEDNESDAY, AUQUST 31, 1910. NUMBER S HOW THE VOTES FELL IN FIRST ELECTION Twenty-Seven Boxes Re ported Last Night. SOME CLOSE CONTESTS There YVill Probably be Second Knee for Treasurer und Possibly One en Legislative Ticket? The Advertiser this morning pre sents returns from twenty seven out of thirty two boxes, with ;i total of 2,750 votes, as a result of yesterday's election in Laurens for county and State officers. The live boxes missing are Shiloh, Woodvillo, Cook's store, Stewart's store and Pleasant Mound. These precincts, it is estimated, have polled about three hundred votes which will push tile total for the county a little past three thousand, one hundred votes. The heavy rains during the morn ing doubtless prevented quite a good many from voting at ail. as the vot ing strength of the county is probably something like 3,400. So far as re ported the election passed quietly. Ac-cording to the table given in an other part of the paper. Dr. .1. 11. Mil ler lends the legislative ticket with the handsome vote of 1. 80S, and is of course elected. Mr. 1 rby comes second with 1,438 and will probably go in OU the first ballot. For the third place Messrs Willis, P.oyd and Rlchey are running pretty close to gether in the order named. 'Hie indications are that Messrs Mock and Young will run a second race for county treasurer. County Supt. of Education G. L. Pitts ?was reelectOd, defeating Mr. .1. C. Burdette by several hundred votes. This means that Mr. Pitts will be at the head of Laurens county school affairs for the next, four years, the two-year term having been changed to four years at the last session of The general assembly. The three candidates for county commissioner are running in a bunch and it will probably require the full vote to determine the result. County Auditor \V. T. Dor roh, Pro bate Judge O. G. Thompson and Suiter visor ll. ?. Humbert were reelected without opposition. Rar I lor Reports.
