Democratic Gains tra South Cnrolinn.
The full returns Of the recent
County elections come in with great
irregularity, and many of the returns
received do not show the result with
sufficient clearness to enable us to
make n comparison of the vote with
the vote at previous elections.
Every District, however, appears to
have increased its Democratic or
Conservative vote, the change in
some Districts being startling.
Comparing the vote ut the County
elections with the vote upon the rati-
fication of the new Constitution, we
obtain the following figures:
Darlington, majority for the Con
stitution 2,019, radical majority
County elections 1921, Democratic
gain 69S.
Laurens, majority for the Consti-
tuition 764, Democratic majority
County elections 544, Democratic
gain 1878.
Orangeburg, majority for the Con-
stitution i,790, radical majority
County elections 1,547, Democratic
gain 243.
Union, majority for Constitution
719, Democratic majority County
elections 1900, Democratic gain
1919.
Spartanburg, majority against Con-
stitution sos, Democratic majority
County elections 1,300, Democratic
gain 792.
Lancaster, majority for Constitu-
ton 88, Democratic majority County
elections 200, Democratic gain 11S.
Kershaw, majority for Constitution
LOTT, Democratic majority County
elections 649, Democratic gain ], ,726.
Oconee, majority against Constitu-
ton 14O, Democratic majority Coun-
ty elections $50, Democratic gain
ITO.
This is surely encouraging; for it
proves that the white men of the
State are beginning to exert their
whole strength, rs we'll as that the
negroes are gradually forsaking the
Loyal League to vote with the con-
servative party.
Edgefield has gone for the radicals
by large majority.
Greenville has elected the Demo
cratic ticket by 164 majority. Ma.
jority for the Constitution 823, De-
mocratic gain 997.
Abbeville has elected the Demo
cratic ticket by 355 majority. Ma
jority for the Constitution 1,72I,
Democratic gain 2,076.
York has elected the Democratic
ticket by 1,650 majority. Majority
for the Constitution 357, Democratic
gain 2,OO7.
Chester, rs we understand the re-
turns, has elected conservatives by n
majority of 400. Majority for Con-
stitution 769, conservative gain l, 1G9
Commenting on the above the
Charleston Ne,rs says:
This glorious result has been ac-
complishcd with an imperfect organi-
zation, and without perfect concert
of action. In the low country little
or nothing was done. The people
were daunted by the negro majori-
ties, and did not work with a will, so
that in moro than one instance the
radicals met with no active opposi-
tion. The up-country has shown
what can be accomplished, and it is
not too much to say that with
thorough organization in every Dis
trict, and with earnest working men
in every precinct, there is a chance
of carrying the State for the Demo
cracy in the Presidential contest.
This, however, cannot be done if
platform be adopted widely different
from that of the State Democratic
Convention held in April last.
