Barnwell county declined to return
to the senate DR.. A. B. Patterson,
who waged such a bitter fight against
Governor Manning on account of the
governors asylum policy. Senator
Patterson even attempted to put
through the senate a joint resolution

salary of DR.. Williams, superinten-

Marlboro, the home of John L. Nc
Laurin, rolled up a handsome majori-
ty for Governor Manning. Mr.. Nc
Laurin joined forces with Mr.. Blease
in the election and made a vigorous
effort to bring about Mr.. Manning's
defeat. Even McLaurin's box in
Bennettsville went heavily against
him, giving Blease 40 and Manning
218 votes in the second primary.
Mccormick, the baby county, sends
to the senate Frank G. Robinson, a
good and trusted public servant who
has done good work in the house of
representatives as member of the
ways and means committee. Mr..
Robinson was for number of years
mail clerk on the C. and W. c. Rail
way, running between Anderson and
Mccormick, and is we'll known to
Anderson people. He is at present
cashier of bank in the new court

Richland county experienced a
shakeup on account Of the act passed
by the local delegation to issue bonds
for permanent roads without sub
mitting the matter to the people. The
act was taken into the courts and was
afterwards amended so as to provide
for a referendum vote. When final
ly submitted to the people it was de-
feated overwhelmingly. Speaker
Hoyt came within a few votes of los
ing out in the second primary on &C.
count of this local issue, but county
pride sent him back to the house by
a close shave. He will in all prob
ability be elected speaker again, as
he made an excellent record as pre-
siding officer.
Saluda county will have a new
senator in Mr.. Griffith, young law
yer of the Saluda bar. He succeeds
Geo. w. Wightman, a Blease member,
who lost out in his race for secretary

house from Spartanburg county and
has given special attention to the
passage of laws for the benefit of
cotton mill employees. He will be the
first man to sit in the senate as a
direct representative of the cotton
mill men. Spartanburg has seven
house members. The six already
chosen are opposed to Blease, and the
seventh place will probably result in
the third primary in the reelection
of Representative Boyd, at present

and his colleague, T. P. Cothran, has
been forced into third race. Local
issues, the bond issue matter in par
ticular, were used effectively against
them. Senator Earle was defeated
by Proctor A. Bonham, who will
worthily represent his county in the
senate.

Some Results
of the Recent
Primary Election
AS CLEANED BY EDITOR GLENN
OF THE ANDERSON INTELLl.
GENCER.

The biennial primary election usu-
ally brings about a good many chan
ges, but judging by the results an
nounced there have been few more
defeats of prominent men than usu-
al. Some of the old time leaders in
state politics have failed to win at
the polls, and their faces in many IN
stances will be seen no more in the
councils of the party in Columbia.
On the other hand a few of those
who have been in forced retirement
for years have demonstrated their
ability to come back into official
power.

OvHRMAN's cLINcnIN0 ARdU-
MENT

Senator Overman of North Caro-
lima (where children are employed in
cotton mills in large numbers) says
that the way to keep children out of
Jail is to put them to work. He has
furnished the Senate with an illumi-
mating set of figures in opposition
to the anti-child labor bill. Accord
ing to him, fewer children are put
in Jail in North Carolina than in
forty-fve other States. Here are
some Of the figures, showing the
number Of children per 100000 sent
to prison: Massachusetts, 279;
Rhode Island, 1879; Missouri, 1872;
North Carolina, Is.
A United States Senator more in.
telligent than Senator Overman
once proved conclusively that the
thing that really gave New York
city it's big population was its
theaters. He showed, from infallible
census reports, that when New York
had ten theaters its population was
/ 900, 900, but that when it had fifty
theaters, its population was 2,00O,-
900. Therefore, the theaters had
made New York grow.

National Chairman Mccormick in

glad Democratic tidings Of . Bull
Moose stampede for Wilson. And
he proves it by citing list Of prom

reads like an old-fashioned patent

readers lis composed largely OF
Pacific coast converts. We suspect
that just before Mr.. Mccormick gave
out the list he had to scratch out
the name which, like Abou-ben-

President In these circumstances Is
quite inexplicable. Reports from the
White House have been varying and
uncertain. Not one official word has
served to allay the apprehension Of
the country as 1t contemplates the
biggest battle between employer and
employee in all the history Of labor.
Only by inference may one judge
that he is giving any direction to
the efforts of the Federal board of
mediation concerning whose activi-
ties the latest news IL that it will
offer it' services tomorrow
The wage question and the ques-
ton of hours upon which the rail-
roads and the employees disagree
may we'll be left for consideration
and settlement by whatever means
seems best. The thing to avoid Is q
nationwide strike, and IL there was
ever anything within the province Of
the President Of this country, serv-
ice which It was his duty to perform,
it is to protect the public in this
situation.
To call the representatives Of the
disagreeing parties to the White
House would be putting the Presi.
Dental Office to its greatest use. To
argue as the spokesman Of the
people against this universal strike
would be the greatest demonstration
Of official influence and power. Othe,
Presidents have averted similar
cAtastrophes by the proper use Of
their office, and Mr.. Wilson ma,
well pattern after them.
