COLLEGES WIN ANOTHER ROUND
Judge LacOmbe UDhOIds Validity of
VIII of Late Daniel
Fayerweather.

NEW YORK. Aug. 26.-A decision was
handed down today by Judge Lacombe In
the United States circuit court deciding,
80 far as that tribunal is concerned the
noted Fayerweather will case. Judge La
comhe's decision confirms the decision of
the state court Of appeals Of July, 1897,
which admitted the will of the late Dan
lei B. Fayerweather the millionaire
leather merchant, to probate. Under the
terms of the will the greater portion OF
the estate, estimated at So 200, 900, was
divided between various colleges and uni
versities mentioned in the will. Judge La
combe's decision dismissed an action
brought by Emma Fayerweather and Mary
Wachter, nieces of Lucy Fayerweather
widow of the dead merchant, to contest
the will and leaves the colleges and uni
versities in the undisputed possession and
enjoyment OF the money granted them.
The decision, however, does not mean
that the case will end, as an appeal will
be taken at once to the United States su-
preme court in Washington.

HOT FIGHT FOR NOMINATION
Second Primary May He Necessary to
Settle south Carolina
Fight.

COLUMBIA, 8. c., Aug. '26.-Democratic
primaries for the nomination of governor
and a state ticket, congressional repre-
sentatives and state legislators were held
throughout this state today. Ballots were
also cast to determine a successor to United
States Senator McLaurin. It is estimated
that $4,000 voters were recorded, but on
account OF late returns only 10000 votes
had been reported up to midnight Owing
to the South Carolina primary law, which
demands that successful candidates must
receive a majority of the votes cast In
primaries, It is possible that second pri-
mary will be ordered, in which those two
leading candidates for every ofhce which
failed to receive a nominating vote will
be entered. Every nomination, with the
single exception of state treasurer, was bit
terly contested.
From returns that have been received II
is understood that d. G. Haywood of Cotton
is far ahead in the race for the guberna-
torial nomination, with ex-Congressman
Tolbert second. and Lieutenant Governor
James H. Tillman third.
Partial returns from forty-three counties
show that in the contest for the United
States senatorship to succeed Senator Nc,
Laurin, Congressman Lattimer leads, and
therefore will be in the second primary.
His probable competitor will be either d.
G. Henderson of Aiken or ex-Congressman
J. ]. Hemphill.
U. X. Gunter is named for attorney gen,
eral and Colonel Mcmahon is named for
superintendent Of education.
second primary will be called to de-
termine the nominations for lieutenant gov
ernor, secretary Of state, comptroller gen.
eral, railroad commissioner and congress
sional representatives.
