The Democratic primary election
being over, Leesville as unit, can
say she is we'll pleased with the re-
suits. True, everybody didn't get
bis man, but the greatest source OF
qualification to LeesyiIle is to know
that her two worthy cisizans, DR.. E.
J. E.heredge and Mr.. Isaiah Hall
man are esteemed go highly as to
recei7e the popular vcte Of the
county. Wien we look ut the vote
these gentlemen received, where best
known, i; is no wonder that they were
supported as they were, and because
of tneic worth!ness all OF Lees7lle
feel grateful to Lexington county
for suc1 general support.
Probably the most remarkable
race in the history cf Lexington
county is that of DR.. Etheredse.
With worthv and formidable oppo-
nen,s Mr. Etheredge received from
the voters OF Lexington county the
largest vote of any opposed cand:-
date ever making the race for any
Office. Again, We SAY it is no won-
der, when CT Of the approximately
four huodeed vu;ee p He'd at Bates
burg and Leesvi!!e ie received about
three hundred and eighty, only losing
seven out of the one hundred and
ninety-six at Leesville. About seven
boxes in the county voted solldiy
for E5heredge; only one failed to
give hirn a majority of its polied
votes. D.. E heredge and his friends
are greateful t, the citizens OF L=X-
ington for their complimentary vote
