Columbia.

Columbia. Oct. 15.--Incomplete
ueturns from 40 counties out Of A In
the second Democratic primary for
attorney general OF South Carolina
held yesterday give Thomas III. Peep
les 2i.7os votes TO I9.304 for j.
Fraser Lyon. the incumbent. The out
come OF the primary Is still In doubt
since practically the entire vote in
the rural districts Is unreported. Many
OF the managers OF the boxes In the
country did not bring them in last
night.
Reports from all sections OF he
State said that tho second race for
attorney general aroused compare
lively little interest. In several coun-
ties whole precincts failed TO vote at
all because the managers neglected to
provide themselves with ballot boxes.
The city boxes in Charleston gave
Peoples a maturity OF 1900 over
Lyon. The remaining boxes in Char
lesion county MAJ slightly reduce
Peoples lead. A late dispatch from
Spartanburg said that Peoples would
probably be given n majority OF 700
In that county. The yote reported SO
far indicates that he Is 500 In the
lead there. The only vote reported in
Aiken was that Of the city box. IL Is
expected that the full returns will in
crease Peoples majority In York
county.
The Incomplete returns Indicate
that Lyon Carried Grccnville. Darling
ton. Dillon. Edgeheld. Greenwood.
Oconee. Marion. Marlboro by major
ties which the full report may either
increase or decrease. Lyon was lead
INK last night by slender margins in

latter counties Is very much Ia doubt
on account Of the Incompetence Of
the returns received last night.
Indications are that not more than
90 per cent OF the votes cast In the
August primary will hc hoard from

desire to call your attention to
very important matter that will have
TO be voted on In the general cleo
tion. 1t Is joint resolution No. SIS,
page 1890 acts and joint resolutions
session 1912. This relates to the
asylum bond issue. AS you are doubt
less aware. In the development Of the
new plant the State has already bor-
rowed 100000 from the cumulative
asylum commission to spend annually
about $250,O00 until the plant Is COM
pleted. The 100000 already borrow
ed will have to be repaid to the
sinking fund commission next jan
uary. "a this fund is pledged for the
retirement Of the brown consol bonds
If the electors do not indorse this
plan and the State continues to de-
velop the new asylum plant. the tax
levy for State purposes will be in
creased about 1-2 mills: even should
WV ce"tc dDdHuOn tIllS new plant, In
order to repay the 100000 already
expended, the levy would have to be
raised l 1-2 mills. If this plant Is
adopted and the bonds fioated as pro-
vided for. feel quite sure that before
the maturity of the bonds the present
asylum plant in the city Of Columbia
can and will be disposed of gradually.
so that this bond issue at maturity
can be retired without having cost
the taxpayers one penny. If this new
asylum plant is handled in the way
proposed. | see no reason why the levy
for 1913 can not be reduced one half

TRY SCHRhNK AFTER ELECTION.
CASE MUST NOT Bi. DRAGGED IN
TO POLITICS.
-.sSiilant Pleads Guilty, But This l.
Regarded IA Purely Perfunctory
and May be Withdrawn Later.

Milwaukee, Wis, oct. l5.-S;ate's
Attorney Winfred c. label Of AIilwau-
kee county tonight definitely an
nounced that John Schrank, Col.
Roosevelts s assailant would not be
brought to trial until after the ma
tional election November ;. He said
the trial would be opened some time
between November IL and Is. Mr..
label who is said to be the only So
cialist States attorney in the country.
gave three specific reasons for his de-
cision TO put off the trial for one
month.
He said, first, it was only reasonable
to await the results of Col. Roosevelt's
injury; second, he had no desire to
crowd the defendant, and, third, gave
1t as his opinion that it would be un-
wise to call the case during the final
struggle in the presidential cam
paign.
1T is my desire to try this case
justly and expeditiously,' said Mr..
label, land to avoid having the plain
criminal aspects Of the case in any
way involved in the national political
campaign. 1t would not be fair to
any Of the persons involved. II we
went to trial before election day it is
almost certain that the matter would
be dragged into the campaign by one
or another of the big political
parties"
Discussing the case as viewed by
him, the Milwaukee county prose-
cutor said that as far as surface in
dicauons are concerned Schrank was
sane.
III Schrank Is insane" said Mr..
label, 1T seems there is a method in
his madness, when he selects for the
scene Of his crime a State where there
Is no capital punishment.
Also, I am informed from mes
sages from New York, there has been
no insanity in Schrank's family as far
as can be traced. In addition, the
man presents none of the usual SUR
face indications Of insanity"
| The states attorney said he be-
lieved Schrank had no accomplices or
advisers in the crime.
The plea Of guilty filed by schrank
at his preliminary hearing in the dis
trict court this morning is looked
upon as merely perfunctory by the
public prosecutor officers II shall
permit Schrank to withdraw that plea
when he goes to trial If he so desires"
said Mr.. label. I'm other words, this
case will be tried in exactly the same
manner as any other case Of like GRIM
inal gravity. But there will be no
persecution Of the defendant. He will
be tried justly and fairly and can ex-
pect to receive the punishment mer-
tied by the crime"
