MAJORITY OVER FEATHB8TONK ABOUT MM. out of MgMi Votos Reported Blease Has a lrf'ad of More Thau Four Thousand?ins Blertliwi Certain? Ho Carried Charleston and Rlctl land Counties by Large Majorities as Well us Newnerry and Laurens ?(anslcr Defeated One More Time. Charleston. Sept. 14.?The News Courier this morning presents a tabu? lation of more than 95.000 votes east in yesterday's primary. These are the most complete returns ever re? ported on the first night of an elec? tion In this State. The total vote will run over 100, 000; It may run as high as 105.000 votes. There are about 200 boxes yet to be heard from, and these will av? erage about 50 votes to the precinct. Coleman Livingston Blease, of New berry, has a lead of 4,538 votes over his opponent, Mr. C. C. Featherstone, of Laurens, and It Is practically out of the question for this lead to be overcome on the unreported vote, and the returns now indicate that Mr. Blease has secured the nomination for Governor of South Carolina for the next two years. There were only two other contests In the second primary for places on the State ticket. In the race for Ad? jutant General. Col. W. W. Moore has been nominated over his opponent. In the race for railroad commis? sioner, Mr. Geo. MeDutfio Hampton has a lead of over 5.000 votes, which then is little likelihood of Mr. Onns ler even oming. and the s"n of Gen. Hampton and the grandson of George Mel Mittle w ill serve on the South Car? olina railroad commission. In the 6th Congressional district, Congressman J. E. Ellerbe DM been renominated. The contest for the nomination in the 2nd Congressional district will be determined by the reports from the unreported 18 boxes. The figures in this contest, as far as reported, show? ing a difference of only two votes. The result Is best shown In the following tables: For Governor.

DOMINATE WEEK. Present Question Is Whether Prices will Hold or Whether they will Continue to Decline?Operators in Future Market Can Do Little to Influence Spots?Farmers a Fac? tor. New Orleans, Sept. 11.?The cotton market this week probably will be dominated by the spot situ? ation, according to Indications at the lose ot business Saturday. Thus ar the trade has not been able to get very good line on what to expect from this direction, and it is anxious to secure information. During a large part of last week the tendency was to mark spot quotations down in a drastic manner, but at the end of the week the actual cotton had a steadier tone. The question is wheth? er prices will hold or whether they will continue to decline. Operators in the future market can do little to influence the spot market right now, according to the trade. The situation rests with the farmers and partly with manufacturers of cotton. Up to now farmers have ex? hibited a disposition to rush their crops to market as fast as possible and to sell regardless of the price paid. The results have been decided? ly against the farmers and they are apparently beginning to see it. Ac? cording to the bulls should there be more caution and judgment displayed in marketing the new cotton in the interior this week the effect will be quick on futures. The action of spinners toward the spot market is a sore puzzle to traders in futures and the latter are qucted as express? ing the hope that something will de? velop during the next week or so to make the spinners show their hands. All that future traders could read in lower prices of recent meetings of Southern spinners was indecision and doubt as to the wisdom of carrying' their curtailment further. This Inde? cision probably was more apparent to the spinners themselves than it was to outsiders, and some future brokers who know the spinning trade well express the belief that It will lead to Independence of action among manufacturers. They say that it will lessen organized curtailment and will lead to the buying of spots by those manufacturers who are in a position to lay up supplies. In line with this belief were reports on the week-end of a few Southedn mills working full time again after a pe? riod of curtailment. A certain ele? ment in the future market expects to see this full time movement Increase this week. If the expectation is realized, they say it will have a healthy effect all around. The weather will be a source of anxiety to the bears this week. Last week they had their first taste of the nervousness bred by the knowl? edge that a tropical storm was liable to strike the cotton belt. During the week to come the weather reports will be carefully read each morning and any signs of abnormal weather disturbances will be sufficient to pre? vent serious bearish endeavors. An? other feature of the weather reports that will be carefully watched will be the minimum temperatures in the northern tur of States in the cotton belt. Oklahoma has already ex? perienced one hasty drop in tempera? ture. Anything approaching a cold spell anywhere in the cotton belt will have an immediate bullish effect on prices. The bulls contend that the ?Top is backward and cold weather In a backward season will do much more harm than in the average season. Oklahoma will attract more attention than ever before. It has prospects for the largest crop of cotton in its history and any unfavorable weather in that part of the belt will have much more Influence in the big mar? kets than usual. Real Estate Transfers, The following transfers of realty have been made during the past week: Mar) Wilson to H. C. Cuttino, lot in suburbs for $lf>.

Mr. C. A. Landgrabe, Box 25, Coal burg, Ohio, wri tea : "1 had been aslight sufferer for a number of years, but paid little or no attention to it, until the spring of this year, when my suffer? ings became very severe. "1 had pain in the head, back, spine, liver, chest, and various parts of my body, besides indigestion that caused me much trouble and anxiety. I often thought when I retired at night I would not live through it. I tried medical aid, but to no purpose. "Not knowing what was my main trouble I wrote to Dr. Hartman, after reading of his treatment, for advice, tolling him of my various ailments, and he notified me at once that I had syu temic catarrh. "After using the first bottle of Kemna I felt relief, so I continued to use it until I had taken four bottles, when I felt entirely cured. I recommend it t? all others, believing that they will ex? perience the relief that I did." Pe-ru-na as a Tonic. Mr. William F. Hawkins, 12 West Bt? Westerly, K. I., writes: 44I wish to give my testimony in favor of Pernna as a tonic. I have used the same for catarrh, and can recommend it to all who are troubled in that way," ELECTION IN SUMTFJl COUNTY. Featherstone Received a Majority of About One Hundred. The returns from the election in Sumter county are still incomplete, but the unreported boxes cannot ma? terially change the result and It is certain that Featherstone will have a majority of approximately one hundred votes In the county. The total vote yesterday was above 1,600 ?two hundred less than in the first primary. In this city Featherstone received 416 and Blease 24 4, giving the former a majority in the city of 172. Outside of the city Blease re? ceived a majority of the votes in the clubs reported and the unreport? ed clubs probably gave him a majori? ty, also, which will further reduce Featherstone's lead, making it about 100 for the entire county. Moore for Adjutant and Inspector General carried the county by a big majority, and Hampton for Railroad Commissioner, has a big lead over Cansler. Eighteen out of the twenty-four boxes in the county have reported and the total vote received by the several candidates in these boxes fol? low: For Governor. Blease.641 Featherstone.799 For Adjutant General. Moore.1.020 Richardson. 392 For Railroad Commissioner. Cansler.627 1 fampton.776 The (dubs not reported are High Hills, Pisgah, Salem. Stateburg. Tay? lors, Trinity. In the first primary two weeks ago these six clubs polled 195 votes. The vote yesterday in these clubs probably did not exceed that in the first primary. It is al? most certain that Blease received a majority of the vote at the clubs to be heard from, but not sufficient to overcome Featherstone's b ad.
