Some Other Figures.

Some Other Figures.
South Carolina gave William Jen
nings Bryan at least 61,28S votei
and William Taft 3,847. The Stat:
says the above figures give nearly
the entire vote Of the State, although
the clerks who have tabulated the
vote have not yet completed the ad-
ditional for the independence and
Socialist party.
In 1904 Alton B. Parker received
52,56S votes and Theodore Roose.
velt received 1854 in South Caro-
lima.
In 1904 D. C. Hayward, Democra-
tic nominee for governor, received
51,907. In 1908 Martin F. Ansel,
Democratic nominee for governor, re-
ceired 59,986. In 1905, with no
presidential election to bring out the
voters he received in general elec-
ton 30,251. The figures given above
for 1908 do not include Hampton
county, which is still missing.
The returns are also incomplet
as to the constitutional amendments.
which were voted fayorably. With
Beaufort, Georgetown, Hampton and
Sumter missing, the amendment al
lowing the town of Gafney to in
crease its municipal Indebtedness
gave $1,000 for the amendment and
10,769 against the change.
For the amendment to the consti-
tuition changing the name Of the
Office OF "adjutant and Inspector gen.
eral" to that Of "adjutant general" ;"
21,758 voted for the change and
1926 voted against 1t.
Votes for the State officers with
Hampton county missing were as fol-
lows:
Gov. NJ. F. Ansel, 5e,sS6; Lieut..

623; State Superintendent OF Ed
ucation J. e. Swearingen, $3.50;
Adjutant General J. c. Boyd, So
sos; Railroad Commissioner B. L.
Caughman, 5s,7O3.
These figures as compared with
the totals given for solicitors in the
IL circuits and the presidential vote
would show that all of the State
officers were scratched to a certain
extent. The total vote cast for So
licitor was 60,501. The congress-
ional vote, both Democratic and Re
publican, fell far behind this, the
total being .51,01S, Of which the
three Republicans received 1,0S7.
