The two houses Of the general as
sembly by some chance agreed upon
IN hour for holding the elections TO
Ill vacancies which will soon exist in
ahe personnel of the management Of
the State dispenssry. There had been
iilibustering over the proposition for
8 day or two and finally 1t was decid-
i'd to dispose of the matter at noon
Saturday.
The result as to the election Of q
chairman OF the board of directors o
the State dispensary was a great sur
prise. MIR. n. II. Evans, the incum-
bent, generally regarded as one of the
most popular men in the State, was
defeated by Mr.. j. M. Rawlinson Of
Richland county, the vote, being 10a
to 81. II all of the absentees had been
present to vote, the ratio of difference
In the votes might not have been af-
fected at all. This was quite o surprise
to every one, for although 1t was
known that the incumbent was SUBJ
ject to severe cross.f1re, 1t was be-.
lieVed his personal popularity would
give him good start In the race.
