CharleSfon'S Vote.

Two years ago Governor Blease
received, in the second primary, all
but eight hundred of the votes cast
in Charleston county. On Tuesday
he received eight hundred less than
Judge Jones. The majority for
Judge Jones in Charleston was about
thirteen per cent of the total vote
cast in this county on the governor
ship. 1t is the largest Jones major
ity cast in any county in the State
next to that returned by Orange
burg, which is perhaps, hundred
greater. If Jones majorities IN
equal proportion TO the majority
given by Charleston had been given
all over the State, a total of almost
eighteen thousand maj ority would
have been returned against Cover
nor Blease. .-Erening Post.

protests and contents will be SUBJ
mitted. The total vote shows that
the candidates for Governor have
received from 1900 to 10000
more votes than those polled for
the other offices.
Illegal methods are being charged
in the Piedmont section of the State
and John Gary Evans has received
hundreds of kilograms and telephone
calls. He has received the charges
of illegal voting as information and
will present the charges to the State
executive committee.
Judge Jones has not yet issued an
official statement. He will have
something to say, very probably, to-
night. His managers have indicat-
ed that determined fight will be
made and that the entire matter
will be thrashed out.
The total vote reported here is
Blease 10000, Jones 65,9S6, Dun
can 2,01S.

COUNTY EXECUTIVE
COMMITTEE MEETS.
BALLOT BOXES OPENED AND AN
OFFICIAL COUNT MADE--ONLY
MINOR CHANGES MADE.

VAHDSs
! The county Democratic Executive
Committee met in the court house
at noon today and proceeded to open
the ballot boxes and make an official
count of the returns from the vari-
Gus voting precincts in the county.
The only case of exciting interest
to claim the attention of the COM
mittee was that of Messrs R N
Speigner and J G Mccullough for
the Office of Superintendent of Edu-
cation. 1t was found by the COM
mittee that Mr. Speigner had a ma
jority of five votes over Mr. McCul-.
Tough. Mr. Speigner, realizing the
closeness of the contest and the pos
sibility of a mistake, requested a
recount, which was agreed to by the
committee and resulted in a MAORI
ty of one vote for Mr. Speigner, who
was declared to be the nominee.
This one ballot, which had not been
counted by the managers, was in the
Cades box. The name of Mr. McCul-
lough had been marked out COM
pletely and the initials r NJ in Mr.
Speigner's name had a line through
them, but it was clear to the COM
mittee that the voter intended his
ballot for Mr. Speigner and so count
ed it, thus giving him a majority of
over his opponent. The case will
probably be brought to the attention
of the State Executive Committee
for further decision and if that
body rejects the Cades ticket Nh
Speigner and Mr. Mccullough will be
on tie vote and forced to run in
the second primary. The official
vote stands:

loon and upper part Of the vessel are
now floating around Chesapeake bay
