HAYES q WHEELER ELEC-
TORS ELECTED.
Chamberlain and the Whole
State Ticket Certified.

COLUMBIA. s. c., November %
The Board of State Canvassers yester-
day made report to the Supreme
Court, stating the persons who had re-
ceived the highest number of votes for
Offices, for which they were candidates.
This morning the Court made On Or
der commanding the Board to issue
certificates of election to all persons who
were shown by the report Of the Board
to have received the highest number of
votes for members of the Legislature,
including the counties of EdgetieId and
Laurens. The Court also to-day took
up the case of the electors, and issued a
rule on the Board to show cause why
they should moi correct the statements
Of the County Canvassers by the pre-
cinct returns in their possession. Pend
ing these proceedings in the Court,
however, the Board held a session and
issued certificates to all the members OF
the Legislature, except for Laurens and
Edgfeld counties, thus securing a ma
jority of the Legislature to the Repub-
lican side and the defeat of Hampton
and election of Chamberlain.
The Board also issued certificates of
election to the Hayes and Wheeler cleo
tors and to all the Republican State
ticket. The Board then adjourned sine
die.
