Keep the Record Straight.

Thu Columbia Slate, In publishing election
returns Incorrectly, stated twice that Mr..
Boggs had received s7 votes in Abbeville

sense q difference Of $50 votes does not affect
the man who Is elected, but in another sense
1t does. Hundreds OF voters who see only
this statement are left with the impression
that the winning candidate carried his CONN.,
ty by only two votes to one when as matter
Of fact he carried II by nearly six votes 10
