For uncontested State Offices there
were two counties missing, but the
total vote as otherwise tabulated was:
For lieutenant governor, Mcleod,
9S,16l; for state treasurer, jennings,
100, l53; for attorney general, Lyon,
9S, Col; for secretary of state, McCown,
9S, 36l.
The two counties which did not re-
port on uncontested Offices were Ian
caster and Chesterfield. Attorney gen
eral Lyon was scratched in several
counties, notably at Fort Mill in York
county and at Beaufort.
There was a close vote for governor
in Pickens, but the official vote shows
that Ansel carried this by l2 votes.
The Blease counties, therefore, are re-
duced to Charleston, Newberry, Iau-
rens, Saluda. In Saluda his majority
was large, as it was in Charleston.
FOR CONGRESS-.
| Fifth district: Butler 1857; Finley
| 6,S5l; Pollock 4,2ll.

Our Columbia Letter.

esting Incidents Difficulty
Experienced in Notifying
Doomed Man of His Res
pite.
Mr.. Editor: The week Just
ending has been one OF excire
ment and seusationin South Gac-
olina. The first Democrats
Primary was held last Tuesday.
This caused lively interest, as it
was this year that one important
office had to be flied and there
were several very strong men In
the race. BY this the scribe
does not mean to say that there
were not other important Offices
to be filled, but to put in another
way, there was one OF chiet in
terest-that Of Junior United
States Senator. The guberna.
torial race also caused interest,
as there was no doubt VINO
would be elected, bit rs to what
majority he should get. Some
had hoped it to be 10000 but
the flood caused many to be
kept away from the polls and
then some contend chat the pa
pers by attacking the unsuccess-
tul candidate caused him to get
more votes than he would have
otherwise received. There were
other surprises, some pleasant,
some sad. Now there is consid-
erable speculation AS to who will
win in the second heat. Will
Smith or Evans go to the Senate?
Will Mellechamp or Swearirgen
be State Superintendent of Edu-
cation. Will Jimmy" Cansler,
or "Cansler OF Tirzah," or
Caughman get the plum which
is called the Railroad Commits
sioner's plum 10 be gwen by the
people of South Jarolina on
September the Sth. Then in
the various counties where there
will be second beats who will
win and who will lose. All that
one can do is to wait and see.
The reelection of Sheriff John
Z. Hunter has caused gratitica
ton 10 the Sheriff's numerous
friends in the State. Capt. Hun
ter is regarded all over the State
as one of the best sheriff5 in the
State, for while he is cool he is
as brave as a lion and his record
is one of which he should be
proud. Your scribe shall watch
with interest the outcome OF the
second primary in Lancaster
county.
The flood was also a sensation
OF the week. 1t brought sadness 5
TO many hearts. 1t wrought
destruction TO crops, stock, etc
1t crippled railroad service, i,
caused people to suffer 1t de-
layed mails. Some towns and
cities with many train tacihtie.
didn't see train for several
days. Yes, 1t caused serious
trouble in many ways. 1t is
one of the worst floods known
to even the Oldest inhabitants.
The Congaree, which is about a
mile from the Capitol, attracted
thousa ands TO see her during the
food. And 1T was a sight worth
witnessing, but ior the damage
she was doing. Many tales ori-
ginated from this flood. Tele-
phone and telegraph companies
suffered greatly too. The daily
newspapers which had gone tothe
expense to give the best reports OF
the election ever given were put
to great disadvantage, and loss,
but they did admirably. Many
toWns and cities were cut off from

 70 Call ExfYA Session

Governor Conner yesterday afternoon enrolled himself member of the Law and Order League, passed around the cards for subscriptions in the audience, and made the bold statement that if the prohibtionists need an extra session of the legislature to enforce prohibition it would be called in ten days.
 ''You shall have the power of the state, so far as I am concerned,' he said. "others say they are afraid of an extra session, but l am not. That is a grand body of men who stand for the right, and they say l stand with them.

Hopper In "HappyIand."

The new comic opera, "Happyland, :" by Reginald DeKoven and Frederick Rankens in which DeWolf Hopper is starring under the Shubert manage nent, will be seen at the Jefferson the-
 ~ atre Thursday night. MT. Hopper is now at the zenith of his powers, and his new opera is the best vehicle for that he has had for many years. Messrs.

At the Bijou.

Beginning tonight the Bijou theatre will offer the Four Huntings in their musical comedy success, "The Fool House" The piece is described as 8 melange of fun, with plenty of pretty girls. bright costumes and entertain ing specialties. It is an elaboration of an act which won the Huntings fame and fortune in the circus and later Tn vaudeville. Acrobatic work plays a prominent part in the performance, 9 fact which makes the show somewhat different from the usual run of musi- cal comedies. All four Huntings will introduce special acts and there wnI also be individual numbers by mem bers of the company. The production is said to be elaborate and the com pany is large. The usual matinees will be given on Tuesday, Thursday and Saturday.

He de- clared, however, that he will hold a con ference today and tomorrow with the states attorneys, and will probably de- eide on a future policy.

 Mississippi. sn

Jackson, Miss, April 5.-(Special.)- Frederick P. Delafield of the firm.of Del afield & Longfellow, lawyers at 60 Wall street, writes State Treasurer George R. Edwards to know about the chances of collecting bond No. 101, issued by the state of Mississippi July 1, 1882. maturing July 1. 1S41, and payable at the PheniX bank of New York, and bearing the sig nature of Governor Brandon.
 The lawyer says: Please advise me whether the state of Mississippi has ever paid these bonds or intends ever to pay them" Treasurer Edwards very cour- teously. informed the writer that they haC never been paid and never would be. The state long ago repudiated these bonds, and there is clause in the pres ent constitution of the state which de- cIares that they never shall be. It. would take an amendment to the constitution
