was rather one-sided. The ticket
pledged to the support of Thomas Y.
English, was elected. The ticket in
the Eighth, pledged to G. N. McKen,
non, was elected without opposition
In the Culleoka, Columbia and Mt.
Pleasant districts the vote was excep-

for only three hours, a new record for
a large vote was made in Columbia

600 votes were cast and more than
half that number in the latter.
The vote in the Fourth district was

rounding the death of F. Theodore
Karsch, the Philadelphia cigar manu-

auto bus in Pleasantville on February
IA, resulted in freeing from respon-

testified in the drivers behalf were

the bus.
Their testimony, as we'll as that of
other witnesses, was to the effect that

high wind, walked directly in the path
of the machine, despite the drivers
efforts to avoid running him down.
Karsch was in Pleasantville con-
Quoting negotiations for establishing
a branch of his cigar factory in Phil
adelphia when he met his death.
