TtIE PRKIN %tKY The official figures of the primar contain many surprises. This has beer a year when a voter cast his ballo more in accordance with his own notioi than any year since we have had th primary system. The second race for governor is to b made by Heyward and Talbert and no by Heyward and Ansel as reported i our last paper. There are less tha 500 difference between Talbert and Ar sel, a most remarkable race. The in pression had gone abroad in the up country that Mr. Ansel was not in th race, and for that reason he lost %grea many votes. If that impression ha not prevailed he would have been in th second race easily, and if he had bee we believe he would have won out i the race with any of his competitor. It was unfortunate for him. It on] goes to show that we should vote f< the man of our choice, regardless < the strength w- may think he ha Some people like to go with the major ty and others may have a favor a wl is in the lead and become inouterei because they take up the notion that I is going to be elected anyway. Tl primary system was inaugurated give the voter the opportunity to go t the polls and register his preferenc This he should do regardless, and 1 should vote for the men who, in b judgment are the best qualified to f the positions they seek. Until he ha done this he has not discharged his dut as a good citizen. Mr. Heyward has a very large lea on Mr. Talbert, but it does not at a mean that he will be elected, thou$ the chances are largely in his favo Mr. Heyward is a good, clean man, ai the State will not is hurt by his ele tion. Mr. Talbert has been in publ life for a good many years, and so fi as we know his record is clean, and I would make a good governor. So th the State will not be. seriously hu whatever the result may be. -In the senatorial race Iatimer al Evans lead, and there are not a gre many votes between them. The othi four candidates came very close to ea( other, with about 13,000 votes each. they could have agreed upon one their number he would have won, b we felt all the while there would bei * chance for any one of them, as th would divide the lesser half of the vo of the State, while the bigger he would only be divided by two. The choice now is between John Ga Evans and Asbury C. Latimer. N * Evans was governor for two years al has been defeated for the Senate twic Mr. Latimer has been the congressmi of the third district for ten years. T] chances of these gentlemen are ye evenly divided with the advantage success being possibly with Evans. In the other offices Sloan and Ga are in the secord race for lieutena governor with the chances in favor Sloan asit appears to es of final vi tory. In the race for secretary of Sta Gantt and Wilson are in the lead ai will run over. The chances are in fav of the success of Mr. Gantt. The comptrollers will also make second race, the leaders being Jon and Walker, both at pressent holdii positions in the office, and both comy tent to fill the position. Mr. Jones from ,Abbeville, while Mr. Walk comes from Greenville. Boyd and Frost run over for adjuta and inspector general. Frost is assii ant adjutant general now, is from Ric land, a graduate of the Citadel Acad~ my and entirely competent to fill t office. Boyd is a Greenville man, Confederate veteran and for many yea identified with the militia of the Stal and also entirely competent. This ra promises to be very close. Evans and Caughman were in t lead for railroad commissioner and w be in the second race. Evans is frc Marion, was private secretary to Gc ernor Ellerbe and is now a lawyer i siding in Columbia. Caughman is frc Saluda, is State Senator from th~ county and a farmer. Mr. Martin defeated McMahan f superintendent of education. Mr. Mcli han was a very efficient and conscie tious official. Mr. Martin has had loi experience in the school room and e tirely competent for the position, ai there is no reason to suppose he will n give the office the very best efforts his gift and make a most efficie official. Mr. Gunter defeated Mr. Stevens' by a handsome majority and will mal a very efficient officer. The campaign throughout was one the most quiet and free from persons ity and bitterness of. any we have h~ in this State since the primary syste was inaugurated. The voters have goi to the polls and expressed their will 1 their ballot as their best judgment di t4ted without prejudice. That is ti way it should be. We hope the same rule will prevail the second primary next Tuesday. The Third district is the one in tI State in which asecond race is toti run for Congress. But then we h more candidates than any other distric Heyward starts in the second prima! with two votes to Talbert's one. Ari -yet Mr. Hey ward lacked ten thousan of a majority. If Mr. Heyward an Mr. Talbert hold their own there wi be the Ansel vote and the Tillman vot and the Timmerman vote which mus go somewhere. There will be som ~ a~ this week. The city council should utilize some requ of the sand and g:avel so convenient to tic si the city on some of the streets and mix (H it with the mud. If something of the farm kind is not done we will not be able to an o] get any wagons into town during the rainy weather the coming w 'nter. It was only this week that two or three wagons stalled in Caldwell street be- 13 erri 1 tween the postoffice and Mr. Geo. W. Summer's residence. A little sand,ut A on this street while the mud was soft wee] would have made it as fir:n as maca- reop t dam. 1Running the scraper over it now is nc n only prepares it to be cut up again Stat r when the first rain comes, and is there- Fact fore only temporary work which is not trie: economy. Let us have some sand polit mixed with the mud and rolled hard Cap1 e and we will have some streets. he v t ---- - - - - -is tr d The second'race for Congress will be men e between Wyatt Aiken and R. F. Smith. po-t n Both of these gentlemen have been in ago n the county and are known to our peo- the - ple. We should think the battle ground hav4 y is Anderson and Oconee. Aiken, it by t r seems, will lead in Newberry, Green- for vile and Abbeville, judging from the TI vote in the first primary and Smith to a leads largely in Pickens. Anderson and aret t Oconee could change the result granting race that each candidate carried the counties a fa e above accorded, so the real fight will pub 1e be in two counties. The result in this actE race must have been a great surprise elc ' to some of the candidates. Both the - gentlemen in the second race are clever !e and either one will ser ire the people N Is well if elected. raoi ill shoi_____ lt lute a Municipal politics promises to be exa Y lively the coming winter. We have al- Wit ready announced two candidates for per mayor and several others are about ready Ace to enter. The supply of aldermanic trnt timber will also be ample from all indi- mu( r. catiors. These are veiy important po- Phi Ha2 sitions. The town of Newberry has now Sno reached the point where it needs live, Son e progressive, and at the same time con servative business men at the he9.d of A e its affairs if it is to keep its x ghtful is n t position in the march of progress. A F real live mayor is woi th his weight in ada gold to a progressive town. In fact will d without him his town stands still. Of n? course he needs the support of a good r aldeimanic board, and then to have the Ij community uphold his hands. thei out It is the duty of every citizen to go ato the polls next Tuesday and cast his bA 0ballot. Six of the most important Kid 7 State offices are to he filled and two representatives in the legislature are A to be chosen as well as a probate judge talli and county supervisor for the county. F r Every voter should go to the polls and pa r- register his vote for the best men for na. ithe positions to be filled. Do not take by e. it for granted that the best men are to m be. elected for it frequently happensA s they are not and if you have remained bro Saway you have not discharged your duty as a gc ,i citizen. Then you have to select a United States senator and a t Sgovernor, both very import.ant posi- sa tiors, not to speak of a congressman.a c- The cotton crop in this county is not| We going to be es large as we.s sometimes tsupposed.

Hey ward in the first primary by t the people of Colleton. He got 3,258 against 135 for the other four candi-wr m dates-or 96 votes out of every 100 cast. ton ce This is all the more remarkable when hel it is remembered that Colleton has here- and tofore been very seriously divided politi- ad cally. It is a magnificent testimonial by to Heyward by the people who know == m him best. e In addition to their votes the farmers yof Colleton, hundreds of them, of every|~~ kind and class, the followers of Ben e Tilman and Sheppard and Haskell,1, have signed this address to the farmer dat n of South Carolina: gre "State of South Carolina, County of e.b Colleton. r e "We, the undersigned, farmers of e Colleton County, hereby endorse Capt. o D.
