CATION. today gave out several docu-

SOUTH CAROLINA CANDIDATES.
Indications That Ellerbee Is Nomin-
ated For Governor.

at6d For Governor.
Charleston, S. c., Sept. 14.-Returns
from the Democratic state primaries
held yesterday are incomplete, but in
dictate a very light vote. The race for
governor is very close, with chances
slightly in favor of General Ellerbee.
Featherstone, his opponent, shows
great strength, and may possibly win.
although the country vote, which has
not been heard from up to p. m,
is likely to go TO Ellerbee, the dispen-
sary candidate. Featherstone'S strength
is not altogether from the Prohibition
lists, but largely from opponents of Ell
lerbee, who are dissatisfied with his
administration. Ben Tillman's SYM
pathy was with the present incumbent,
though no active support was given.
The defeat of Ellerbee will end the dis
pensary system in the state.
Copper. for secretary of state, is
elected, as are also Mahon for superin-
tendent of education, and Harris for
railroad commissioner.
Columbia, S. c.. Sept. 14.-Out of a
total of 60,S70 votes reported at l O'Clock
this morning, Governor Ellerbee has a
majority of 1856. The missing vote
will hardly reduce this majority. and
the governors friends are now perfect
ly confident. The other results have
not been changed by belated returns.
