Executive Committee Count
Changes County Results

NeSuLtS
Pugh would have gone in the second
race but for this omission. There was
no division asked when the executive
committee voted in the affirmative on
this matter.
This places Messrs. Leitzsey, Epting,
Livingston and Epps in second race
for county commissioner.
On account of the late hour at
which the executive committee was
in session, it was impossible for The.
Herald and News to publish the tabu-
lated returns in this issue. They will
be published in full as soon as the
executive committee has made its final
report.
For congress Aiken's vote in the
county was more than four times that
of Evans for congress.
Alan Johnstone defeats Col. D. A.
Dickert for the State senate.
Cannon G. Blease is elected sheriff
over Capt. M. M. Buford, the encum-
bent.
F. NJ. Lindsay is elected coroner
over Bouknight and Cromer.
Werts is reelected auditor over
Halfacre.
schumpert IS elected probate judge
over six competitors.
Brown and Aull make second race
for superintendent of education.
Hill and Wicker run over for coun-
ty supervisor, Feagle, the encumbent,'
being defeated.
]. C. Sample is elected magistrate
in Townships 1 and over both op-
ponents, Messrs. Wilson and Stewart.
! The Herald and News in a number
Iof election extras has given the un-
! official results in detail in all the
/ county elections, for both State and
county Offices, and will publish both
State and county races in Newberry
county, in detail, as declared by the
executive committee.
When the committee .reconvened at
3 o'clock on Thursday afternoon the
matter of two ballots from Hartford,
which had been held out by the man
ayers because no candidate for attor-
ney general had been scratched, was
taken up. The managers had not plac-
ed the ballots in the box, but one, of
them brought them to the meeting.
The committee ordered the ballots not
counted
Two ballots at Mollohon, about
which the managers were in doubt on
account of the tickets being mutilated,
we're ordered counted in the manner
prescribed by the rules, the tickets be-
ing properly sent up by the managers.
At Ward 4 in Newberry and at
Whitmire there were challenged votes
one at each precinct-but there be-
ing no person present to sustain the
challenge, the votes were ordered
placed in the box and counted, accord
ing to the rules.
Following is given a report of the
morning session of the committee:
The county Democratic executive
committee met at the court house on
Thursday at u o'clock noon. The

Meeting at noon on Thursday, the
county Democratic executive commit
tee was still hard at work at 4.45
Thursday afternoon tabulating the Of
fetal returns of the recent Democrat
. ic primary election in Newberry coGn-
ty. At that time the official count had
changed some of the results in the
county races, and it seemed improb
able there would be any further
changes. By the discovery of an er-
ror of ten votes in the report of the
Walton precinct, as given in the news
paper returns, Mr. Jno. c. Goggans,
the encumbent, took lead of ten over
his opponent, Mr.. J. D. Wheeler, for
clerk of court, the result, according
to the unofficial count of the news
papers, having been reported tie.
The count of several votes which hal
been withheld by the managers for
various reasons as stated in the re-
port below, slightly changed this ma
iority of ten, but Mr.. Goggans KEEP!
we'll up in his narrow lead OF ten,
and unless some further action should
be taken with reference to ary box
by the committee which wou,l change
Mr.. Goggans' lead, he is reelected
clerk of court by majority of ten
) votes.
The official tabulation and the count
of challenged votes had at 4.30 o'clock
placed Mr. H. o. Long in the second
race for the house with DR.. C. T.
Wyche. On the face of the unom-
cial returns, without of course ac-
count of the challenged votes. the
newspaper figures had placed Mr.. H.
H. Evans in a second race with DR..
Wyche. For while on the official
count Mr.. Long and Mr.. Evans had a
tie vote for the place of running over
with Dr.. Wyche, but the count of thu
last challenged 7ote placed Mr.. Long
in this race instead of Mr.. Evans.
Messrs. Kibler and Mower are re-
elected to the house, as heretofore re-
ported.
On motion of Mr. R. T. c. Hunter,
the executive committee threw Mr. w.
q. Pugh out of the race for county
commissioner, on account Of Mr..
Pugh's failure to file his expense ac-
count, as -@Sd- by the statute Mr.

who Lied2"

Washington, Jan. 30.-Col Henry
Watterson in a statement issued here
and intended to bring a "distasteful
episode" to an end, so far as he is con-
cerned, declared that the issue be-
tween him and Gov. Woodrow Wilson
was solely as to which one had lied"
Colonel Watterson said he had en-
gagged conclusively to show that Gov
ernor Wilson had lied and charged that
the New Jersey executive dared not
face the facts"
Colonel Watterson declined to make
public any proofs in his possession. He
denied that Thomas F. Ryan ever had
been approached for campaign contri-
buttons for Governor Wilson, but
stated that the matter had been talked
over with Governor Wilson and the
latter had expressed the fear" that IL
the knowledge Of contribution from
Mr.. Ryan got abroad it might do more
harm than good.

TAFT OPENS CAMPAIGN
DEFENDS HIS ADMINISTRATIONS
IN CLEVELAND SPEECH.
Def'es Opponents to Show Wherein
Republican Party Failed 10
Keep 1903 Pledges.

Cleveland O., Jan. 30.--President
Taft opened his campaign for re-elec-
ton when he made defense OF his
administration before the Tippecanoe
club of this city and defied the Demo-
| cratic party to show wherein the Re
publicans had failed to keep their
pledges made In 1908.
Showing that he was unwilling to
wait for further assaults from the
enemy, the president took the Often
sive and invited the country to pass
judgment upon his stewardship. He
said the party record was an open
one and was worthy of the best ira
ditions of Republican rule.
The president defended the Payne
Aldrich tariff, while admitting Its
shortcomings; he justified his vetoes
OF the Democratic revision bills at
the extra session and he made plea
for the continuance OF the tariff board.
He also renewed his adherence to the
protective policy.
The president called attention to
the railroad bill. making the inter
state commerce law more effective
and creating the court Of commerce.
He said 1t would be foolish and futile
to abolish this court because 1t has
reversed the interstate commerce
commission He also commended the
safety appliance legislation of the last
congress.
AS for the enforcement of the anti.
trust law the president said:
THE laws have been enforced. The
interstate commerce law and the anti
trust law Indictments have been
found and bills in equity have been
filed In cases that seemed to call for
governmental action. and they have
proceeded to judgment in due course,
and the judgments have been en-
forced"
