CHEROKEE.
Gaffney Ledger, September 2: Today
week the second primary takes place.
Interest in the second heat Is at very
low tension and at present it looks as
if Cherokee will fall 500 to 700 votes be-
hind the vote Of last Tuesday. There
is hardly any forecasting Of the result.
Present indications are that it will be
a neck and neck race between Butler
and Sarratt for the senate, Jefferies and
Ross for clerk Of court, Vincent and
Tate for coroner and Whelchel and
Austell for supervisor, but it Is be-
lieved that D. Clinch Hayward, the
Colleton county farmer, has cinch on
the governorship so far as Cherokee Is
concerned while there Is no telling who
will get the United States senatorial
vote. Magistrate r. w. Lee was
elected in White Plains township at the
recent primary; B. G. Gold, at Blacks
burg; R. Terrence, at Cherokee Falls;
nd nrou
A. J. McGraw, at Grassy Pond; G. w.
Speer and C. T. Bridges, Gaffney; Geo..
D. Scruggs, at Ezells; Poole and Strain
run over in Gowdeysville, and Mabry
and Kirby, in South Draytonville.
Mrs. Julia E. Gaines died at her home
on the Mills Gap road in this city, on
the 3Oth Of August and was buried on
yesterday in the family lot in Oakland
cemetery in the presence Of many sor-
rowing relatives and friends. Mrs.
Gaines was the third daughter Of the
late H. G. Gaffney, ESQ.,, and con-
sistent member Of the Baptist church.
She in her young womanhood married
the late Rev. Tillman R. Gaines, who
preceded her to the grave about two
years ago. She leaves six children, all
grown, as follows: A. B. Gaines, E. H.
Gaines, Rowland Gaines and David
Gaines, all of this city. Herbert M.
Gaines, soldier in the United States
army now in the Philippine Islands,
and Mrs. Bessie Taylor, Of near Athens,
Ga. Mrs. Gaines was a woman Of many
good traits of character, a good wife
and affectionate mother, and literally
gave her life to the care and welfare
of her children, and the high regard in
which she was held by those among
whom she had grown up and lived was
attested by the large train that followed
her remains to their last resting place
in Oakland. The county ferry re-
Gently established at the Stacy place,
on Broad river, Is proving a great con-
venience to the people in the upper part
of Cherokee township. It shortens the
distance from their homes to the coun-
ty seat fully one-third. Cherokee is
lookout for her general welfare and
never lose a chance to tighten the bur-
dens Of the people when consistent with
progress.
