pected Jones tc have a big lead In the
four town boxes and one of them said
that he had expected a much bigger

cincts.
With the returns all in at 11 o'clock
list night the fesra and the anxieties
ct the csndldatea were set st reat for
ths time bslng. the uncertainty being
it least settled at that time. The re
tulte showed Stoll to have a lead of

Brsdford ran away from his three
opponents, showing even greater

elected on the Arst prlmsry with |
handsome majority. The race for cot
oner was closer than most people
seemed to think, but resulted In the
re-election of coroner 8. F. Flowera.
The crowd on the atreet watching
and working In the election all day
long was a large and intensely Inter?
ested one. but that which began to
gather on the streets at at>out 5
o'clock and continued to Increase un?
til about 9 o'clock st night, at
which time the resulta of the election
were coming in rapidly and ware be
ins pitted at filbert's V>r\\g store as
fast as they cams In The bulletins
from the Newa and Courier came in
every few mlnutea and were read
aloud and then posted outalde where
everybody could eee them. Along to?
ward the first part of the evening the
bulletlna giving Jonea majorities wero
received with oheers by the expect
snt crowd, but later when the bulle?
tins wars not so farovable the cheers
did not come. Late In the evening
there were a number of rlease men
on the atreet who were Jubilant o/er
th* changing prospects and nu-tr
K'beers could be heard from time to
time.
The crowd, however, seemed to be
an orderly one and there was no
fighting and very few drunk people
to be eean on the streets. The crowd
was keyed up to a high pitch of in?
terest though and as the bulletins
came In there was a rush to the
front to hear or see what changes had
been made.
The race for aolicttor la atlll un?
certain, with Tatum slightly in the
lead. The vote received at this of?
fice up to noon today gives Stoll 8.

came last with 4 45 votes, showing
lee* strength than was expected. The
aecond race, which promises to be a
warm one. will be run between Scar?
borough and Parrott. and the pre?
dictions are that it will be extremely
olose.
Chief J. K. Bradford came tlrut In
the race for sheriff, with a big lead
between him And his nearest opponent.

than was expected, with Warren com?

OKKKN VIIJiK CHILD* IS KILLED.
Hehn Bridge* Meets Death When She
Is Struck by Motorcycle Xear Green
vllle.
Greenville. Aug. 27.?He'en, the 8
year-old daughter of Jesse Bridges,
a well known farmer living six miles
from the city, was instantly killed
this afternon when she was run over
by a motorcycle ridden by Ford Cox
of Travelers* Rest. The child was
crossing the road and evidently did
not see or hear the approaching mo?
torcycle. Mr. Cox dismounted and
went back to assist the little girl,
but she was dead when he reached
her.
The few details that could be learn?
ed were brought to the city by a gen?
tleman* who arrived at the scene
shortly after the accident. Accord?
ing to his story the little girl was
playing near the road and started
across the road. Mr. Cox was travel?
ing at a rapid rate on his motorcycle
and struck the child when she was
about in the middle of the road.
What the Republican "Standpatters"
Could Not Understand at Chicago.
How far dco3 tho republican party
understand and utilize the political
doctrines held by a great majority of
the American voters in the year 1912?
Apparently the regular etandpat
leaders have not heard about them;
at least they put forward Mr. Taft for
a second term. When in March The?
odore Roosevelt stepped forward, on
the gesund that the new doctrines
were apt likely to be accepted un?
der their regime they treuted him as
an apostate, and when the conven?
tion met it was clearly proven that a
large majority of the republican vot?
ers who had had the opportunity or
the desire to express a preference
were represented by Roosevelt dele?
gates who made up a majority of the
delegate* elected. This involved dis?
tressing personal humiliations to the
standpa). leaders. That steady old
republican roadster Pennsylvania
bucked up and threw Bois Penrose
across the boundaries of the common?
wealth. In Massachuetts Murray
Crane, the most astute and In many
ways the most intelligent of all the
leaders, saw both the vote of hlB state
and the delegation at Chicago split
about even. An Inexcusable tender?
ness for Senator Lorlmer of Illinois
helped to drive that state out of the
standpat column. A cloudburst had
occurred and the standpat leaders
looked upon it as a pquall.
The st indp.it element therefore as?
sumed control of the convention
through a complex of obsolete and
outworn political practices. The na?
tional committee, chosen In 1908, had
the traditional right to pass on the
contest; the new system of presi?
dential primaries under State laws
(and in a few cases under direction
of the local or State committees, tho
so-caller "soap box primaries") could
not be found Indexed In the rules of
the committee; and therefore they un?
dertook In several cases to Ignore the
resulting action. For 50 years heal
and State conventions of all parties
had often been manlpuated by throw?
ing out delegates who wer?. Koing to
VOts what the leaders thought the
wrong way; and to the convention
seemed the obvious method of deal?
ing with ? candidate who had thrown
his heavy hammer farthest, but had
swung it around his head twice in?
stead of the usual three times. Mr.
Psareee, Mr. Bernes, Mr. Stevens of
Colorado ami other patriots wer?- sure
that Theodore Roosevelt was a bad
man, and in their experience the eas?
iest way to get rid of a bad man was
to count him out.- -From "A New
Party: I>o the People Want It?" by
Albert Hushnell Hart. In the Ameri?

DRINK PLENTY OF WATER.
Improvement In Digestion, Temper
And Appearance Result.
Totlth'g Companion.
A well-known nerve specialist has
said that " all neurasthenics (that is,
people with unhealthy nerves) have
desiccated nerves and suffer from
an insufticiency of fluid in the tissues
of the body." It is probable that we
all, in more or less degree, even when
not conscious of any definite symp?
toms, are suffering in some part of
our system for the la/;k of enough j
fluid, and ef:pcc?o>lly of enough pure,
cold water.
We know that so nicely is the hu?
man body adjusted and adapted to
its uses that one part cannot suffer
without all suffering. If the nerves
are desiccated, or dried through lack
of fluid, then it is certain the *ame
lack, and that the wheels of the
wonderful machinery are being clog?
ged by reason of waste matter which
is not washed away.
We see by this that water does for
us a three-fold service. It feeds, it
washes and it carries away the cind
?ri of the body furnace; and through
the want of it we are exposed to many
and great dangers. The tissue be?
come too dry, the blood is thick and
It flows sluggish, and the retained
waste of the body sets up a condition
which the doctors call "autointoxica?
tion." or self-polsoning.
This condition may give rise to al
41 est any known symptoms, from a
pimple to heart failure, and is really
responsible for most of the semi-in?
valids with whom the world is largely
peopled.
To obtain the best results from wa?
ter drinking certain rules should be
observed. People do not all need the
same amount, and it may take a lit?
tle experimenting to find out just how
much should he taken in individual
cases. It has been stated by physi?
cians that hve or six pints should be
taken during the 24 hours. Of this
only a moderate quantity should be
taken with the meals. It is a mistake
to take no water with a meal, but it
is perhops a greater mistake to wash
food down with water, especially with
ice-water.
The best time for water drinking Is
at night and early in the morning,
It is well to form the habit of slowly
sipping, during the hath and while
dressing, two or three glasses of cool
- not lee-cold?water. Two or three
more may be sipped at bed time, and
again two or three glasses an hour or
two before lunoheon and before din?
ner.
In a very short time the value of
this habit will become apparent in the
resultant general improvement in di?
gestion, temper and appearance.
