He stood fearlessly before every
charge brought against him on
the stump, and vindicated him
self to the satisfaction of all
fair and impartial minds. MIR
Wall enters the second campaign
with clean hands and a clear
conscience, and will stand or
fall on his merits. He has SER
we'd the people faithfully one
term, and justice demands that
he be given another term, as has
become customary in the Demo
cratic party of this State. His
experience in legislative work
fits him for better service and
the interest of the people will be
safe in his hands. Those who
know Mr. Wall at home have
faith in his ability, integrity
and patriotism, and are his
staunchest supporters. They
call on the people of the county
to rally to his support and help
them elect him by such an over
whelming vote as will set the
seal of condemnation on the
Machiavelian methods thatsome
of his political opponents are
employing to accomplish his de-
feat. A NEIGHBoR.

MR.. COOPER IS REELECTED.
AN ERROR OF 100 VOTES IN OF,
FICIAL COUNT.
Other Errors in Addition Discovered
but Results Unchanged as to Other
Candidates.

In copying the official tally
sheet we discovered several
errors in addition, one against
Supt. of Education William
Cooper amounting to just 100
votes. These errors were of
course unintentional and We
have no doubt that at it's next
meeting the executive committee
will reconsider the matter of Mr.
Epps' election and declare MIR
Cooper reelected. 1t is but
simple justice that this be done.
In order to be absolutely GER
tain in our addition, Cashier
Epps of the Bank of Kingstree,
kindly ran up the columns OF
figures for us on his adding
machine, and where an eSror oc-
Cured in the first addition we
have placed underneath the cor
rect result.
According to our addition the
county primary resulted as fol-
lows:
Mr. Ellerbe led in the congress
sional race by 81 votes.
In the district Ragsdale re-
ceived 1928, Ellerbe 4,808, Nor
ton 4 4,2O5 and Dargan 2,425. This
places Ragsdalf and Ellerbe in
the second race for congress.
The errors in the total vote of
the other county candidates
make no changes as to the can
didates declared elected and
those placed in the second prim-
ary.
Those who enter the second
primary are as follows:
For the legislature, P H Stoll
and P S Wall, Bass and Graham
being elected in first primary.
For treasurer, G W Johnson
and H P Baldwin run over.
For county supervisor, Gra-
ham and Chandler run over.
For coroner, H M Burrows
and r K Gamble run over.
For county commissioner, w
M Smith, r D Blakeley, r B
Fitch and Andrew R Eaddy were
placed in the second primary.
Meantime Mr. Smith has with,
drawn, leaving three candidates
for the two places.
For supervisor of registration
Messrs ] Y McGill, G K Mitch,

received a majority of votes,
were declared elected and there

LAKE CITY, September s:-Mr B
F Brockinton, Jr., formerly Of Nor

county, was noted in town Monday.
Frank Brockinton has a host of
friends in Williamsburg, who are al
ways delighted to grasp his hand

several weeks.
Rev and Mrs S g Morris of Mount

They were married last week at the

Hattie Lee Haynes. She is a daugh-

lege. Prof. L B Haynes. The young
couple have our best wishes for the
future.
There is another couple of young
married folks in town, Mr. and Mrs
George Rookie, who are visiting Mr.
and Mrs T } Rookie. Mr. Rookie is
teaching at Mount Pleasant.
Senator Williams has moved into
his new house on Acline avenue.
Mr. P II Stoll was in town from
Kingstree a few hours Saturday.
Mr. P S Wall came over from
Scranton Saturday and speat ths day

fences, We suppose.
Mrs W E Severance has returned
from a visit t. Il aurinburg, N. G.
She was accompa, d home by her
sister, Miss Eva North.
Two or three bales Of cotton were
sold here last week. The first bale
brought II cents and the others
about the same.
The tobacco sales last week were
heavy and the prices good. The
sales of August were the largest of
the season so far, but the prices were
not altogether SO satisfactory as On
some other days. AS all example OF
the prevailing prices last week we
mention the load sold by Mr. A W
Rodgers on the 31st. This load
brought from 10s to 81 cents and
averaged over II cents for the entire
load. He carried off about $25 more
than he said he wantedfer it. When
a man gets more than he wants for
tobacco, we see no cause for complaint.
The election passed over very
ometly here. There was no disturb
ance or unpleasantness of any kind
And there was very little, if any
electioneering or wire-pulling OF any
kind. Each votel, rs rule, cast his
ballot independently and without
being Influenced.
