TUESDAY’S ELECTION.
THE REPORTS NOT ALL IN, BUT
WAS A TAME AFFAIR.
The Straight Irby Primary Ticket
Thought to be Elected in Mott
of the Counties.
IT
Columbia, S. C., Aug. 91.—The gener
al election for delegates to the consti
tutional ^invention which it to held on
September 10, waa held in South Caro
lina yesterday. As a general thing the
tickets nominated In the sereral coun
ties by the democratic primaries held
two weeks ago, were voted for in this
election by the white people. In Are
or six counties the negroes put out
tickets, some of them solid black, oth
ers with some white republicans on
them and still others with part anti-
Tillman democrats. The strongest
showing they made In any county was
in Richland of which this city is the
county seat. Here the straight-outs or
anti-Tillman democrats did not vote
generally and the result is close, al
though the white ticket will win. In
Sumter county, the anti-Tillmanites
and conservatives reformers ran a tick
et in opposition to the Tillmanitea nom
inated at the primary and snowed them
under. In several other counties the
anti-Tillmanites put out tickets at the
eleventh hour and being unorganized
the indications are that none of them
have been successful. In many coun
ties in the state, the reformers and con
servatives were both represented on
the regular ticket and there was no op
position. The results of yesterday’s
election will be that about two-thirds
of the convention will be composed of
reformers, or Tillmaultes, and that
from Georgetown and Beaufort coun
ties there will be two or three republi
cans. So far as heard from, the elec
tion was one of the quietest ever held
in the state and the vote cast was very
light The anti-Tillmanites, who made
no fight against the primary nominees
generally refrained from voting.

Columbia, S. C., Aug. 90. — State
Liquor Commissioner Mixson speaks
favorably of the South Carolina dispen
saries He said yesterday that while
the legislative committee had not yet
examined and approved his quarterly
report, he could give in round numbers
the figures showing the financial con
dition of the concern. He says that
the dispensary has now within the
walls of the state dispensary building
965,000 to 975,000 worth of stock; ont in
the several county diapensaries they
have stock amounting to about (150,000;
and in the state treasury they have
$20,000 in cash with which to meet all
expenses Besides paying back the
(50,000 appropriation, he says, they
have paid all the revenue licenses for
the year, about (8,000. This, he says,
is the exact status of the dispensary
bnsiness in the state of South Carolina.
Henceforward, it is the purpose, he
says, to run the business for the sole
purpose of supplying the people with
liquor at actual coat of purchasing and
handling.

Atlanta, Ga., Aug. 91.—The pro

has been cancelled and tbs matadors
are sad. Yesterday the executive board
of the exposition with one fell blow,
pot an end to the fight. The bull fight
was to have come off in the Mexican
village quite e large concession in the
exposition trrounda The exposition
management had nothing to do with
the fight and knew nothing of the
proposition until after it was being
talked of by the papers of the country.
The matter has brought tha exposition
into such disagreeable notoriety and
has caused so much unmerited censure
that President Collier decided that eo
far aa the exposition waa concerned tha
bnll fight would be disposed of yester
day. At the meeting of the board yes
terday afternoon he called the atten
tion of the directors to the great
amount of talk that waa being indulged
in concerning the fight end said he
favored the exclusion of the fight fronf
the grounds.
“It la not our matter,” said he, “It
ie an enterprise with which we have
nothing to do, save granting the con
cession, and the bull fight has been
confused with the exposition. I was
told thst the fight was to be nothing
but an attempted reproduction of a
Mexican bull fight without bloodshed
or hurt to man or boast. I believed it
wonld be nothing more. Since investi
gating the matter, I find it will be im
possible to give such a representation
without cruelty to animals The
horses may not be hurt but they will
be frightened elmoat to death. I do
not wish the public to get the impres
sion that the exposition is fostering or
furthering any sueh scheme as a bull
fight. Such an idea wonld be greatly
injurions to us Having a real bull
fight would be the last thing I would
think of sanctioning in connection of
the exposition and how such sn ides
could have gained such a general cur
rency I cannot understand."
A resolution was adopted instructing
the president to notify tha concession
aire that the bull fi/ht will not be per
mitted on the grounds There will be
a lively kick from the cbnoeasioniare.
