s. In the race for Governor, Cole L.
Blease, OF Newberry, has maintained
a lead over his nearest opponent, G.
C. Featherstone, OF Laurens. The
relative standing Of the six candi-
dates for Governor has not been
changed since early Tuesday night.
Thos. G. Mcleod hold third place,
John G. Richards fourth, F. H. Hyatt
fifth. and John IT. Duncan sixth.
The total vote in the frs: primary
will no doubt reach >105, 400, some
what to the surprise Of many who
expected a much lighter vote. The
rains of the Pee-Dee and Piedmont
apparently had little effect in keep
ing the voters from the polls. Spar
tanburg was the banner county, poll
ing over 5000, votes. The voting was
lightest il the coast counties where
the terrific rains of Monday had put
the roads in such condition as TO de-
tain many from the polls.
In the race for Governor, Cole l..
Blease has S3,S64, while c. c. Feath-
erstone has 2s,s64, lead of 3,4oo,
the latter having more than 1000
lead over Thos. G. Mcleod. The to-
tai vote OF the other three aspirants
amounts to about $4,000:
Cole L. Blease, for Governor car
ried the counties Of Aiken, Anderson,
Barnwell, Berkeley, Calhoun, Chero7
kee, Dorchester, Fairfield, Horny,
Laurens, Lexington, NeWberry, Pick
ems, .Richland, Saluda, Union and
York.
&c. C., Featherstone carried the
counties Of Abbeville, Colleton,
Greenyille, Greenwood, Hampton,

For Lieutenant Governor, Charles
A. Smith, of Timmonsville, is elect
ed, receiving 5s,906 votes to 44,O01
for e. w. Duvell, a majority of near
" $4,000. l.as,
:.s 81 For Attorney General, J. Fraser
Lyons vote is 72,5S5, while that OF
B. B. Evans is 27,574, Mr.. Lyon be-
ing easily reelected. 1t appears that
both candidates were freely scratch
ed: -; i....
IS Col. w. w. Moore, Of Barnwell,
and Capt. ]. M. Richardson, of aiken,
wifi make the race again for Adju-
tant General.
The most interesting contest IN the
entire list is the neck and neck race
between Hampton and Scarborough
t. determine who shall make the race
with James Cansler for railroad COM
missioner. About 1873 votes seperate
the two, Hampton leading with 22,-
634 to Scarborough's 22.496. Can
sler's big lead is 4O,896, being 1S,-
1928 over his nearest competitor.
OF the five Congressional contests,
three were settled by Tuesdays prim-
airy, Msesrs. Legare, Finley and Lev
er having been reelected over their
opponents.
Second primaries will be held In
the I'd district between Messrs. ]. F.
Brynes and ]. o. Patterson, incum-
bent, and in the 9Th between Messrs
y. E. Ellerbe, incumbent, and 2. A
Hodges.
For the second Democratic prim'
airy there will be five races, two fol
Congress and those for Governor
Adjutant General and railroad com
missioner. In a large majority OF
the counties there are to be contests
for county Offices, many Of them fol
the Legislature, but whether o. mol
these are of sufficient Interest and
Importance to cause large v:te re-
mains to be seen.
