BATTLE OF

TOTAL NUMBER OF VOTES RECEIVED

COUNTY CANDIDATES.
The election at Kingstree and
throughout Williamsburg county
passed off Tuesday without the least
friction at any of the twenty-eight
polling precincts. The weather was
ideal and almost a full vote was
polled with the following results.
Arrangements were made whereby
unofficial returns were received
here by phone from all of the county
precincts and by midnight the
standing of each candidate in 'he
contest had been determined.
Bulletins were received from time
to time from The News and Courier
and The State, and from the American
Press Association. These bulletins
continued to arrive until 3 .a.
m. and so nearly fixed the results
that there was no doubt as to the
successful State candidates when
the crowd dispersed and went home
Wednesday morning.
The following is the official vote
for county officers.

BANK CASHIER SUICIDES.
, J L Merriman, Cashier of Bank
of Hemingway* Shoots Himself.
Hemingway. August 24:?J L
! Merriman, cashier of the bank here,
j committed suicide last night about
I 12 o'clock by shooting himself with
' a 32-calibre pistol. Two shots were
fired, one entering his right side,
penetrating the liver, causing almost
instant death. The reports
were heard by neighbors, who immediately
rushed to the scene, finding
the victim lying on the front
, porch of his home in an unconscious
I condition,with an empty revolver by
his side. Physicians, being notified,
soon appeared, but found that there
was no hope of saving his life. He
Jived about thirty minutes, never
speaking a word.
The finance committee checked
over the bank's books this morning
and found that the finances of the
bank were in first-class condition.
A sworn statement was given to
this effect.
Mr Merriman left the bank Saturday
afternoon in a bright and cheerful
condition, and was seen on several
occasions yesterday and appeared
to be in a pleasant mood; but,
upon returning to his home last
pvpnintr. it is thoucht that on ac
count of some domestic trouble he
became enraged, and in a fit of
passion took his life. Mr Merriman's
health hasa't been good for
the past several months, and it is
quite probable that this constantly
preying on his mind figured largely
in the affair.
Mr Merriman was a young man
of sterling character and pleasing
disposition. He had won the esteem
of the entire community. In the
bank he was a most useful man, always
giving his business the closest
attention.
The body will be taken to George1
town, where the interment will take
i place.
The end of this young man came
! so unexpectedly that it was a shock
to this vicinity, and everybody
mourns the loss of their beloved
townsman.
MSW CASHIfcK IS i\A.*lE.U.
j Hemingway, August 25:?Owing
j to the vacancy in the Bank of Hem!
ingway by the death of J L Merri:
man. Mr D G Huggins was elected
i cashier by the board of directors
! yesterday morning. Mr Huggins
has served as assistant cashier since
January last and has proven himself
to be a very very valuable man
by being punctual and efficient in
his work all the time.
The body of J L Merriman was
carried to Georgetown for burial
this morning on a special train. A
large number of relatives and friends
accompanied the corpse. The entire
community rests under a pall of
sorrow over the very sad death of
this most valuable young man.
A Card to Tobacco Growers.
Dear Sirs:?
We are pleased to advise you that
prices on tobacco have slightly
advanced and we believe it would
be to your advantage to sell now.
The European war is still going on
and it is beyond the power of man
to say when or where it will terminate.
So long as it is going on
prices on commodities of nearly
every class will be affected one way
or the other. Many items will soar
higher in price while a number of
others will go downward. In our
opinion tobacco is in the latter class.i
and while?it it yet bringing a fair
price we advise you to bring it along
If you place your tobacco on
Gorrell's New Warehouse floor you
are positively assured that you will
get the highest market price and a
square deal in every particular.
Yours truly,
Gass & Gorrell,
8-27-lt Proprietors.

A Card.
To the Farmers of Williamsburg
County:?
Several cotton factors have written
me to urge the farmers in my
section to exercise every caution in
j picking and ginning cotton this sea]Son.
On account of conditions
abroad, we will be obliged to depend
upon the mills to assist in helping
us use our cottons, and in order
to make sale of any portion that
must go on market, it must not be
of tne lower grades. Cotton ginned
too green or rough this season,
under present conditions is unsalable,
therefore we should exercise
every precaution, to meet conditions.
This is for your information
and action.
Very truly,
It Geo A McElveen.
