State Chairman Garman called the

and announced temporary orgaNiza-

committee. Congressman Ermantraut,
temporary chairman, received q round
of applause when he received the gavel
from Mr.. Garman.
A wild scene of enthusiasm followed
Mr.. Ermentrauts's mention Of the name
Of William j. Bryan. Delegates and
spectators stood in their chairs and
waved hats and handkerchiefs as they
cheered the name of their leader.

PERRY TO HANG.

Governor Atkinson Refuses to Interfere
with the Sentence Of Court.
Georgia's governor decided the fate
OF H. 8. Perry, under sentence Of
death for the murder Of Belly Lanier,
Tuesday afternoon.
The decision in the application for
executive elemency was against Perry
and the condemned man will hang
Wednesday, September 9Th.
The governor took the position that
the question upon which the applica-
ton for clemency was based was sub
mitted to the jury, through the state
ment Of Perry on the one side and the
dying declaration Of Lanier on the
other, and that IL did not effect their
decision.

CAROLINA SENATORIAL RACE
SENATOR M'LAURIN DEFEATS CAN.
DIDATES IRBY AND EVANS.
HIS MAJORITY A DECISIVE ONE.
The Result Indicates That His Past REQ.
ord In Congress and HIS We've
Politically Are Endorsed,

The democratic primary for the Sc
lection of . candidate for United
States senator was held throughout
South Carolina Tuesday.
The polls opened all over the state
promptly at o'clock and remained
open until 4 p. m, at which hour the
rules of the party require that they
be closed. Only those who took the
oath required and whose names were
upon the democratic rolls in the hands
Of the managers of election were per-
mitted to vote.
The indications are that McLaurin
will lead his opponents in nearly every
county of the state and the seat in the
senate, which he now holds by APP
pointment, will be given him in due
time by the legislature, and the short
term in this instance means very
nearly full term OF six years.
According to the latest returns the
counties voted as follows:
McLaurin Abbeville, Anderson,
Bamberg, Barnwell, Beaufort, Berke-
ly, Charleston, Cherokee, Chester,
Chesterfield, Clarendon, Colleton,
Darlington, Edgefeld, Fairfield, Flor
ence, Georgetown, Greenville, Green
wood, Hampton, Horny, Lancaster,
Lexington, Marion, Marlborough,
Newberry, Oconee, Orangeburg, Pick
ems, Richland, Saluda, Sumter, Union,
Williamsburg and York.
There are forty counties now in the
state. OF course McLaurin has not
majority over both opponents in all of
these counties indicated above, though
he has in almost all of them. The
latest figures attainable show the fol-
lowing totals:

Every county is represented in this
total, though, as explained, many pre-
cincts are still out. These totals are
based upon the returns received by
the state, and at McLaurin headquar-
tiers. Those who have close knowl-
edge of South Carolina contests and
who have handled primary figures in
the past, figure on total vote approx
mating $4,000.

CHAPTER III.


I remember nothing until period
which must have been two or three
hours later. And then, as IL now recurs
to me. I was so weak and yet thorough
ly peaceful that had no desire to use
my memory at all. This was no doubt
result OF the great blood-loss which /
had sustained. Afterward came blank.
Learned, later, that this blank lasted
for nearly five days. The nurses watch
ing me twice decided that had ceased
to live. Then vitality fickered back
into vague semblance Of its old sway.
What first clearly recall is refusing
to drink o certain potion put by the
nurse to my lips, and saying with We.
hemence that I had alrea dy eaten and
drank more than was good for me. At
this time my watchers were afraid that
I might die OF starvation, since the In
jections Of nourishment on which had
been living had begun to fail OF their
nutritive ONCE.
But from that hour. straight along, I
began to recuperate. 0nco started, my
bodily recovery was rapid. Not 90.

good while / saw Conrad at my side,
though he was no longer there. For q
good while spoke to him and thought
that he returned my answers. The
realization that We had been separated
In q bodily way crept upon me with
drowsy slowness. At last inquired OF
my nurse:
