tiOn.

The management of the local theatre
have booked q high class line of at
fractions for the coming season. The
opening attraction is said to be great.
1t is seldom nowadays that the
Theatre going public have an oppor-
tunity of seeing something new in the
theatrical line-but in the play of "The
Other Fellow" which will appear at
the City Opera House, on September
25th, Mr.. Harry West, the German
dialect comedian, supported by q COM
pany of unusual merit will present q
play that is bound to please and amuse
all classes of Theatre patrons Origin
ality is the main theme--and such has
been accomplished-comedy in abun-
dance The complications that arise
during the action of the play are indie
scribable. Vaudeville being the fad
all over the universe at the present
dayland to be up to the times num-
ber of high-class acts have been en-

COL. CREwS' MOTION.

Col. Crews called the committees at
tention to one OF the rules requiring
voters to put ballots in their proper
boxes. He thought it wrong to throw
out ballots placed in the State box.
hfr. Williams showed that if such
vctns were not thrown out q voter
could easily vote twice-say two tick
cts for county officers or vice versa.
Col. Crews knew that the counting
of such tickets had been done and he
thought 1t right. He wanted the mat
ter settled and made uniform. He fin
ally moved that a county ticket If
found in State box be counted and
vice versa.
Mr.. .Blease moved to amend the mo-
tion so that none be counted when
there was an excess of votes over the
list.
Gov. McSweeney said he hoped that
the committee would throw more
safe. guards about the primary system.
II o man made the error In the box 1t
was his own unfortunate mistake. The
primary should be most carefully
guarded Managers of elections could
show the voter which box was which.
He wanted every white man to vote
and not lose his vote, but to 60 to this
extent would let In too much laxity.
Col. Crews motion was finally voted
down.

SOME OF HIS VIEWS.

SOME OF HIS VIEWS.
Alludes to Cardinals Great Statesmen
viii be Governor OF all CarOlina's
People.

Last Thursday night the people of
Colleton and surrounding country as
bled in Walterboro and serenaded
Capt. Heyward the nominee for Gov
ernor. They gave him great ovation.
Speeches were made by Capt. Hey-
ward, Mr. Legare, the nominee for
congress, Capt. M. II. Howell and 9TH
ers. A great deal of enthusiasm was
manifested.
Capt. Hayward addressed those be-
fore him as 'my friends" which SIM
pie expression brought forth renewed
applause. Capt. Hayward alluded to
the pride he felt in receiving in the
first primary election So per cent
and in the second 9S per cent of
the vote of his home comfy, and that
he would cherish the endorsement of
Colleton county as the most precious
heritage for his children and his chill
dren's children. This endorsement Dy
the people who knew him best was suf-
iicient answer to the slanderous
charges made against him in the sec
ond primary. Like II stone wall it
stands in refutation of any ISLANDERS
which had been used against him.
He referred to the distinguished
honor of being the Chief Magistrate of
State which we South Carolinians be-
lieve to be the grandest State in the
Union, the State of the Rutledges, the
Middletons and of the Pinckneys, of
Marion, and of Sumter, of Calhoun,
McDullic, and Of llaync, of Barnard T..
Bee, Mart Gary the Bald Eagle of
Edgetield, and of Wade Hampton, whose
name will ever be household word in
South Carolina. He. did not feel war
ranted at this time in outlining his
political policies He was so pleased
that the prejudice between town and
country is passing away. The State can
never be the great State which it was
destined to be until the people of the
cities and the people of the country
work together in the uplifting and up
building of their State. If can aid in
the accomplishment of this great end
then my election will not have failed in
the purpose which have destined for
it. | stand for the great common schools
of our State. Our Commonwealth does

children of the State, but it does un-
dertake to educate them Hence the

Thanks to Friends.
HONORABLE CONTEST.
Accepts Defeat Without
HaTboring Bad Feeling.
Will Hold Up Mr.. Heyward's Hands
in All Worthy Efforts for the
Good of the State.

Mr.. Editor: Please allow me just
little space in your columns for short
card. AS it is practically impossible
for me to write personal letter to all
my friends and supporters throughout
the State, l adopt this method of
thanking them for the handsome vote
and loyal support given me in my race
for Governor. | am indeed deeply
grateful to them and indeed appreciate
my friends and supporters as much as
a man possibly could. L have been de-
ieated, but do not propose to be sore
head, and sulk in my tent nor COM
plain at the result OF this election. The
people have spoken and 1 am perfectly
willing to abide by the result and sup
port heartily the nominees of the party
from Governor down. When my sue
cessful opponent, Captain Hayward,
shall have taken his seat as Governor,
L stand ready to hold up his hands in
any effort he may make, for the good
OF the people and of the State. My ar
dor for the welfare and best interests
of old South Carolina and her people is
not lessencd one iota by my defeat, and
desire 10 say to those who saw fit to
support my opponent that do not
feel in any degree unkindly towards
you at all and have no criticisms what
ever to make. | tried TO conduct my
campaign fairly, squarely and upon
high plane. | have tried to be open,
frank and honest on all questions that
came before US, and having worked to
this end, | have nothing to retract and
nothing to apologize for, and can't see
but what 1 would conduct it just the
same If | mad it to do over again. But
there's no time to look backwards. The
people of the State have rendered
their decision, and being n loyal and
true Democrat, am willing to abida
thereby, and | will say in conclusion,
let us stand behind Captain Hayward
and help him to be one of the best
Governors South Carolina has ever
had, and be as one man in our efforts
to make the old Palmetto State second
to none in the Union.
