The official Vote will Be Tabulated To-Jay and the Result Declared. The county'election passed off quietly without noise or undue excitement, a fairly g<.K>d vote being polled at mwt of the precincts, at ^his time (Wednesday) it is impossible to make anything like an accurate estimate, hut it is probable that the total vote cc.st will run up to 1J0U. While but comparatively few polls have been heard from, the partial returns will to a certain extent indicate what candidates will probably enter the second race. Partial returns of the county tic ket have beeu received from the following precincts: Johnaonville, Gourdine, Greeleyville Ko, 2, Lake City, Kiugstree, Altiyans, Kennedy's Store, Cedar Swamp, Earls, Oak Kidge, Scranton, Cades, Hebron, McAlisters, High Hill, Salters and Trio.

Misses Jean Adams and Mary ' Brice Herbert, State organizers of j the Woman's Christian Temperance * Union; spent several days in town last week in the interest of the organization they represent. Both F these young ladies.appear to be deeply in earnest in their devotion to the emis^ nf fvmrternnre. to which thev have consecrated their energy and CJ e talent. r On Friday evening to a fairly good audience in the court house ^ they gave an entertainment, con sisting of recitations, imjk-rsonations . and dialect recitals.

At the close of the lec- 11 tures the opportunity was given to sign the .pledge, of whic h some Sev- ^ en or eight young men availed thempelves. ? h SECTION MASTER HURT. J Capt. E. S. -Johnson of Scranton is j Spriouslv Hurt. 'I Scranton, Aug, 21,?This afternoon about 0 o'clock Capt. E. S. A. Johnson the section muster of this .. section was seriously if not family q injured. He was returning from the speaking at Lake City on his crank cur and was sitting on a keg j on the car. When he got into j Scranton, right near the pump house he rose up from where he was sitting and pitched forward in front of the car, and before it could be stopped the car had passed over a j large port'on of his body. The car was lakeh off the body and Die. llinnant and Williams were sent fo:*. I> ]> to a little past 7 o'clock he had not regained conciousness. A card received Saturday morn- Ili: from Sir ran ton says Capt. John- 1 son is Letter and can now speak. c ? h A Painful Wichap. li j Last Monday w hile Mr. Ik G. i i Tinnnone was at work at Mr. J. N. I ! i ^ i KauLs' saw null a pulley belt tlev, oft' j and struck Mr. Timmons on the j j. I hand hoar the wj i.-t terribly braising! ' - ? i.. ; a w.i?! 7 lHUf;au.J^ 11. a knocked clear through the hand, 1 a crashing the flesh and bone.-'. While the wound is necessarily very " f* painful Mr. Timnioiis is getting on as well as could be expected. ^ Be sure your sins will find you *J ut if you are ever a candidate v lor office. f i If | m'siiil HEYWAPD AWAY !N THE LEAD FOR GOVERNOR. :or the United States Senate Latimer and Evans Will Probably Enter Second Primary. The Stat.' Democratic primary lection is still in doubt as to hnul esults. Congressman Latimer; in the race or United States Senator, Las a disinct lead, and Capt. D. C. Heyward s several lengths ahead of all Lis :oni|K'titors for Governor. The second place in l>oth of these on tests will be settled by the votes t hioh have not yet been reported. Exceptionally complete returns iave been received, and the totals at o'clock this morning are: For Senator:?Elliott 10,G24, Ev.us 13,587, Hemphill 11,730, Hen lerson 11,247, Johnstone 11,925, : jatimer 19,988. For Governor: ? Ansel 14,570, Jeyward 28,790, Talbert 13,789, ftllinan 13,003, Timmermar.. 4,148. The chances axe that Talbert will >e in the second primary, though ^nsel may continue his lead. This s_ suggested because the unreported ote is mostly from the country dis- ! ricts, where Talbert is perhaps bet- ' er known. There seems to be no uestion that Col. James H. Tillinan < 3 defeated. In the contest for Lieutenant Govrnor the vote stands:?Gary 26,778, \ lloan 21,414, Blease 14,241. This, f course, necessitates a second pri- j nary between Gary and Sloan. In the contest for Secretary of ^ itate a second primary will be run etween JVsse J. Gantt and Capt J. I. Wilson, the vote so far tabulated eing: Gantt 24,239, Wilson 18,880, ( Liistin 17,019, which, of course, ^ leans a second primary between lantt and Wilson. 1 In the contest for Attorney Gen- 1 ral U. X. Gunter has a distinct lead, Inch he.will no doubt continue, the ibulation at this writing being: i runter 37,671, Stevenson, 34,995. In the race for Comptroller Genral the returns indicate that A. W. ones and G. L. Walker will make s lie race again the vote standing, as < .-]*>rted/ Walker, 22,233, Jones t 0,015, Sharpe 15,830, Brooker 1 3,915. . i In the military fight Col. J. C. h t ?T-/1 unil Pr?1 .TnVi?i 11 Vriint will I 1 take the second primary for Adju- I nt and Inspector General, the vote, 1 o far tabulated, being: Frost 27,549. 1 !ovd 19,775, Patrick 16,309, House i ,441, Ayer 2,158. j The surprisingly heavy vote which ! Ir. Martin received in Greenville, 1 partanhurg, Anderson and Laurens ? aunties, which are in the vicinity of j is home, ran his vote up so as to take the race very close between 1 imsclf and Mr. McMahan. The t >taj figures available this morning * ere: McMahan 36,210, Martin 1 i: i iKK VfoVfaViiin id liW.lv to hold ^ id lead aud will probably gain on it. j | In the race for railroad commisioner the vote is very badly scattered, second primary being necessary, nil this will most likely be between 1 ither John G. Moblev, B. L. Caugh- ^ lan or W. Boyd Evans. Mr. Wil- * orn, who is the incumbent, will not e in the second primary. The vote c as not t completely reported and as ( ar as obtainable stands: Caughman I 1*2,162, Mobley 11,519, Evans 14,722, Wilbora 7,815, Wolling 6,394, Caueler 6,758, Jepson 5'790, Kinard 4,500, Prince 1,619.

Constable Rowell's Fingers. 1 C [Special to The State.] Lakb City, Aug. 22.?State Conitable Rowell was here yesterday? * m legal business. Any way, late in v he afternoon 6ome one reported to lim that Mack Sauls, a farmer not c rery far from Lake City, was in town 1 vith a case of whiskey and was seling it Mr. Rowell seized it and 1 )ut it in Mr. J, M.

Sauls ^ an and Rowell took after him. ? AThen Sauls saw that Kowell was t ^oing to overtake him he threw the iquor down and broke the bottles. . Then he jumped in his road cart ^ ind le/t. Now a Mr. Summerfield ook it up with Rowell and before hey got through with it the chief ^ >f police had to take charge of both * )f them. Each put up $10 for heir appearance at the mayor's court ^ Monday. There is a pathetic kernel in ii he rough exterior of Karl Edwin landman's story in the Septem)er Lippincott's Magazine called The Hidden Man." It deals with ^ :owboy6 and woolly conditions v >t the West, but it reveals the t leart beneath the bucsskin. 2 Final Result.
