Chick Springs, August 14.--Two fea tures of the first Congressional pri mary election in this district on last Tuesday are being generally comment ed on, not only by the people of this district, but by the entire state, and even by other states, and these are the strength of President Wilson and the absence of factional lines. Sain .1. Nicholls, of Spartanburg, who led the si.x candidates and who goes into the second primary with a pluralty of 1,3oo votes over his com petitor, 13. A. Morgan, of Greenville, was the most outspoken advocate of (Ihe 're'sident iln tile campaign enavass Wi eh preceded tile first primary. lie praised him consistently and is looked oil inl tills district as the strong friend of Mr. Wilson. Observers see in the fact that Capt Niclolls led tile tick et significant indicetions of the hold iPresidelt Wilson has on the masses of the people of this state, and they be lieve t hose politicianas who have beeni at ackina the President in Soulh0 Car ol ina will now see ('nough in this l tion as Ian indication or tile signs of lie ilmes to convince them of the linl :ossibility of torning the Palmetto State away ron the Chilef Magistrate of the lnatiol. The other restilt-the absence of factiotua lines-has cheered lie fol lowers of coistr ict ive government In ail parts of the state. No mention was made at any time in the licam pfsign of any factional divisioni along te lilnes of the lhitter struggle of last year, whena it is remembered tia t Capt. Nicholls ran against Congress Jin -olhnson last summller. and the factional lines were Ilie chi ef dlv slon of thIev cali paig. and that nowhere was the issue mnore lirononcil ed than ill Smpartanhburg. One can appre('iate Ohe (hange and re.ioile in it. The raipaign this year was conducted on high ground, construictive issues were tllsisussed pnti Ilere was no hitterness, vil0ulorat0ioni or ablise, stiuli as h:ive been in evidenice in state amaigns of recent years. .\It of tihe six eanidi diats keipt on rienly term,, an each ran oi hIs ierits, which has been that ('ililion lonl"g Wait(.d for in this state. The Sparianfhurg lerald chalmitiioll of the .\nti-ilease forces in its coiulty and tile antagonist of Capt. Nicholls when he ran on the illease ticket for ongress in 191 i and was defeated, has come out for .ir. Nicholls and is urging his election to Congress, and the result, they say, wIl he Ito eliminate for all time the old factional lies. They are u rgting Ilie people of Spar taniiuorg ) sta nd by their lome moan and it a ppears that IlheY will.

I am very much gratified at the result of the first election. The handsome vote.I received was due to the untiring efforts of my friends and I wish to take this op portunity to thank them from the bottom of my heart, and ask them to keep up the splendid work. The fact that I led in the city and county of Spartan burg is a good recommendation to me. That I led in Lauirens county is a fact foi which I feel very grateful. I am proud to say that the campaign has been clean and square and devoid of mud-slinging and factionalism and I. promise, if elected, to go. to Washington to fight for the people of the entire district.
