Greenville, July, 25.?After a thor ough recount of every ballot box li. the seven preclnctB the city Demo cratic executive committee has de clared Mr. John B. Marshall the nomi nee t the party for mayor of Green ville by a majority of six votes over his opponent. The election was held on Tuesday, and the unofficial returns showed Mar shall to have by a majority of six votes. There are many rumors of confusion at the boxes and of throw ing out of votes for irregularity, and representation of Mr. Webb asked for a full recount of all the votes cast. The committee acceded to this re quest, and although the vote was changed considerably in some of the boxes, and the total number decreased, it so happcnded that after all had been figured up and some challenged votes counted. Mr. Marshall was still found to have a lead of six votes. The committee threw out 147 bal lots on account of irregularities. For the satisfaction of their followers rep resentatives cf the candidates made a count of these ballots and found that had they been counted in the official returns Mr. Marshall would hev6 re ceived a majority of sixteen instead of six. There was talk of a contest, but both parties now express their entire satisfaction at the result. A second primary will be held Tues day to select a number of the police commission for the "short" or two year term. The second race lies be twwen C. Frank Grandy and J. C.

At the last meeting of the building committee and patrons of Trinity Ridge section several items of busi ness matters were definitely settled. Mr. Sexton, of Laurens was given the contract to erect the building. It is to be a four room building with largo, auditorium above and a basement un der it 22 x 30 feet. It was decided to begin cutting aud hauling logs on Monday Aug. 4th. By that time a first class mill will have been set up and ready for the first log. The patrons of the school have agreed to furnish all rough material. This Is a capital Idea. "With the mon ey they have from the bonds they will, when completed have a build ing worth six thousand dollars. Thoy contemplate installing the most mod ern heating system, with hot w|ater or steam. There are men here you may de pend on doing what they undertake They realize that it is a gigantic task but they have a faith in their plans. They are a people who be lieve in their community. They be lieve in one another, and they mean to pull together and set an example for others.. Rev. Mr. Mitchell, who had been on the committee up to the present, stat ed that he had other important duties that demanded his time and asked be excused from further aervlce. He was released and Mr. Homer Moore was elected to fill the vacancy. There are five men and two ladies on this committee and they mean to push the work to a rapid completion. It is hoped that the building will be be ready for use by the opening of | the school year In October. Rev. Mr. Mitchell, as a stimulant, offeied, with his resignation to furnish at his own expense an ice cream supper if the builders were ready by the opening date of the school. This is a liberal proposition and we mean to see that wo get it. AH the four teachers have been secured for the next session and we are preparing for the best term in the history of the school. As a patron of the school I beg all my neighbor pa trons to bear in mind the beginning of our work August the 4th,? Monday after the first Sunday. Interested Patron.
