COLE |. BLEASE ELECTED
HIS MAJORITY WILL BE ABOUT
FIVE THOUSAND.
Moore Almost Doubles Richardson.
Hampton Beats CanSler.-COn-
oreSSiOnal Race Close.

Cole l.. Blease was nominated for
governor in Tuesdays primary, and
his majority over c. c. Featherstone
will be about five thousand or possi-
bly, more. Moore ran away with
Richardson, and Hampton defeated
Cansler for railroad commissioner.
The daily papers of Wednesday re-
ported nearly 100000 votes, and the
balance out will not change the re.
suit. Ellerbe defeated P. A. Hodges
for congress by good majority.
The race in the second district for
congress is close, and at this writing
"wednesday afternoon) it is not
known which was elected, and it will
no doubt take the official count to
settle it. Byrnes wired friend here
this morning that they were only
about twelve votes apart. No doubt
the official count will not give either
candidate majority of over so votes.
but who will win cannot be stated
with any degree of accuracy, as the
votes out may elect either one or the
other.
Following are the figures given by
the State Wednesday morning:

There is no soil reason and no

any great amount OF attention TO

farmer has a small era ? arbor which
supplies few grapes for home use
bu. very few OF them have attempted
to grow grapes either for market or
