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.

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

A HAPPY OCCASION.
Reunion of Decendanls of Dr and Mrs
Samuel D McGIII.
\
Ou Thursday,August 20,there
was a happy reunion of Dr Sam- ,v
uel J) McGill's family, at the
hospitable home of Mr and Mrs
H Foxworth. The
crowd commenced to
gather early and it was not
long before all were there with
the exceptign of four members,
who were all accounted for.
It was truly a pleasant sight
to look upon loved ones meeting
one another again, some having'
been separated for years.
Everything to make the day
a pleasant onenad beentnougnt
of; under the shade of one of the ^
grand old trees ice-cold lemonade
was served during the day; f
then, as soon as the girls and-' \
boys?yes, and some of the older
ones, too?could "primp" a
little, the photographer, Mr
Harley from Florence, gave the
signal that the photographs , M
would be taken. And such a\
time as there was getting the
crowd arranged. ? .'
Following are the children of
Dr McGill with their entire fam-, ^

As soon as this part of the
programme was over and all
jad reached the ground in safe-/

began. Mr P D gnowden offer;d
a short prayer and then all jjj
were invited to partake of the
sumptuous and delicious repast
spread before them. The committee
that waited on the table |
allowed no one to go lacking. j
After dinner the crowd scat- I
tered about enjoying the music
inside, while others chatted gai- 'L
[y as they walked about in the 1
srrove.
Some of the younger ones
played games and their happy
voices floated on the breeze,
while the older ones enjoyed j
themselves in a quieter way, '1
sitting about under the large
trees talking and watching the J
children. J
During the afternoon more I
