Nature seems to have taken a new
departure with the beginning of the
new year and the past week has been
decidedly wintry. The quagmire known
as Main St.has frozen up and once more
affords safe passage for teams, the
boys are looking up their neglected
skates and the family cutter is being
overhauled for prospective use. We
trust the change in the weather may
also create q change in commercial
circles and relieve the present depress-
ed condition of business.

He that is without fault, let him cast the
frs. stone Some weeks ago, when friend
was in our town from Yorkville, as it hap
pened, a Republican meeting was held by the
colored people the next day. l unfortunate
ly had it thrown up to me that had gone to
the meeting with my friend, who was accused
of being an aspirant for the office of Probate
Judge. | failed to attach any Importance to
rumor so false, feeling satisfied that no
friend would believe any such report. AS it
emanated from such filthy, irresponsible
source, considered it beneath my notice i;
but on the 9th, I am informed that | cast q

talk came out of that action, mostly from
misunderstanding, the same as caused the
circulation of the other report. am satls.
fed that have no real friend that would be-
lieve me guilty of any act that would pro-
mote the Radical cause in South Carolina.
I, like any sensible man, accepted the regu-
lar nominations whether the men were my
choice or not. My real friends know that
any questionable action on my part was not
actuated by any impure motive, but was sim
ply the result of mental hallucination. l
am no sore-head-no disappointed aspirant-
nor would.be Independent. l had too much
self respect, in addition to the respect for my
country and my friends. We see that
slight ripple upon the bosom of the placid
waters Of our political lake became an ocean
wave in the minds of conscientious and con-
sistent people. I hope this statement will be
sufficient to relieve the minds of the public
of any false impression. JOHN P. GAGE.

Persistent advertising and determination

good quality of marble can be afforded, have
combined to give Mr.. Happer6eld a good run
of custom to which be is surely fairly en-
titled. He has just received large stock Of

YORK COUNTY ELECTION.

The election on the 9th instant passed of
very quietly throughout the county-not the
slightest disturbance Of any kind having
been reported. There being but one ticket in
the field, of course there was little excite.
ment, and the polls were attended only by
Democrats-the Republicans abstaining al.
most entirely from the precincts. AT York.
Vile there were but 26 colored votes cast
(Which we're for the Democratic ticket and
there were very few colored men in town from
the country. 1t is estimated that about 200
colored votes were cast throughout the conn.
ty; but as the election commissioner received
orders not to make an official record of the
white aud colored votes-a departure from
previous custom-the poll.holders did not re-
turn the number of colored voters through
out the county.
The subjoined tabular statement gives the
vote by precincts for all the officers except
Lieutenant Governor, Secretary of State,
Comptroller General, State Treasurer, Super
intendent Of Education, Attorney. General
and Adjutant-General For these officers we
deem it necessary to give only the aggregate
vote. ~ w ;
A comparison of the voting of last week
with the voting in this county two years ago,
shows that the vote this year is 1872 larger
than the white vote polled in 1875, and while
the aggregate of white and colored votes
polled two years ago, was 5,717, the aggre.
gate vote polled this year is 1897, being
2,72O less than in 1876. Hampton's vote this
year is 1872 less than be received two years ago.
and his vote this year falls 1a below the ag-
gregate vute polled. For Congress, two years
ago, Evins received 1928 votes this year
his vote is 1852, being 27i less than bis for.
mer vote. The highest Legislative candidate
for the House of Representatives, two years
ago, was Mr.. Hutchison, who received 1924
votes; this year Mr. McNeel, the highest
candidate for the same position, receives
2,9l1, being 81 more than was cast for the
lowest candidate on the ticket-Mr. Massey
who, when elected two years ago, received
1928 against $3.50 in the present election.
For school commissioner, Mr.nLathan's vote
two years ago, was 1926 against 2,976 this
year For probate judge, two years ago,
Col. Mclean received $3.50, and his compel
itor 1896; this year the vote cast for Col.
Jackson, (without opposition) is 1926. ..,i
