talnty as to the apparent outcome of the
election.
Figures furnished by Secretary OF State
c. w Davis from Augusta at midnight
tonight. compned from mail returns from
all but 13 cities and towns in the State
and with the missing 10 supplied from
press returns, show an apparent ma jority
for repeal Of los votes. The totals fur
nished by the office of the secretary of
state are
For repeal eo.525; against repeol,
8o,S7o. But the Associated Press re-
turns indicated at a late hour to-,
night, majority OF 347 against re-
peal.
The total vote as indicated by the
Associated Press returns was: For re-
