SENATORIAL CONTEST-PARTIAL nctiidkt rpnu thf rni!MY. IIL I UllilU ilium iuk vvu?>>The vote at Kingstree Tuesday was 271-probably the largest in the histcry of the club. The vote in the tirst primary of the last election was 225. As will be seen from our tabular statement all the canddinates?both county and State?got some votes here except Mr Grace. Notwithstanding the unusual number of people in town, for such an occasion everything Was quiet and orderly. A good deal ? of hard work was done by the friends of some of the candidates, but tnere seemed to be no excitement or ill-feeling displayed. ? % * f m j u The returns tor luesaay s> election were unusually-hard to get in this county and throughout the State,on account of rainstorms, there has been much trouble in getting a report from ti the various counties. Up to the a time for going to press returns o from this county are very in-[c; complete, but comparatively o few polls being heard from, o In the State election it seems at this time that Governor Ansel is re-elected by probably 20.000 votes. Smith and Rhett, or 0 Smith and Evans, will undoubtedly go in the second primary. Stoll is making a fine run for solicitor in the third circuit and will be in the second race with McLaughlin. For congress in the sixth district Ellerbe leads with Ragsdale next. Following B ????? S BUGGIES! m j Mi i iriirir vinrr r $ llttinAVCU /f\ To make room ? GOODS.
