stated that Sumter county "polled
nearly fifty per cent more votes than
ever before" which statement the

to call attention to the inaccuracy
and unfairness of the comparison Of

With the vote in the second primary
Of 1910 made by the Columbia State.
The Mai.ning Times said Sumter
county polled nearly fifty per cent
more votes this year than ever before,
