There were only two races for
county Offices that elected much in

tween p. M. Pitts, the incumbent, and
l.. e. White, supervisor of streets of

Mr.. White winning out over Mr.. Pitts

race watched with interest was that
for representatives from Sumter
county to the legislature. Mr.. Davis

predicted, and was reelected with a

From The Daily Item, Aug. 80.

rToHl Inc Dally item, Aug. ~.
The first primary election returns
began coming in soon after the close
Of the polls Tuesday afternoon and
continued coming IN until by IL
o'clock every box in he county had
been heard from and by midnight
these votes had been tabulated and
posted on bulletin boards, as we'll as
sent to newspapers at Charleston and
Columbia.
During the day there was compa-
ratively little interest shown in the
voting and the election was the quiet
est which has been held in several
years. There was the usual crowd
about the polls, but not the slightest
disorder was reported anywhere in
the county. However, during the
evening and night an immense crowd
gathered in front of Sibert's Drug
Store and Mitchells Drug Store
where the returns were received and
posted, and the crowd waited in good
natured interest as the reports came
In and were announced. The crowd
gradually dispersed after midnight.
and when the final reports were re-
ceived about o'clock it diminished
rapidly.
The complete unofficial returns
from Sumter county have all been re-
ceiyed and indicate that Manning re-
ceived majority of the votes cast,
although his vote was not as heavy
as was expected. Blease ran second
IN the county. receiving more voteb
than was expected. and Cooper ran a
poor third. Duncan and DesChamps
with their triplet of votes each were
barely in the race.
For the other State offices, the in
cumbent in EACH case received a ma
5ority of the votes cast, except for
railroad commissioner, where Cansler
ran far in the lead, with Fant, Hamp-
ton, Kelly and Thrower, coming in,
respectively, behind the leader. Be-
thea had a big majority over Adams,
for lieutenant governor; Dove beat
Wightman for secretary Of State;
Carter defeated McLaurin for State
treasurer. Adjutant General w. w.
Moore, Superintendent of Education
j. E. Swearingen. Attorney General
Thomas H. Peoples, Commissioner of
Agriculture E. j. Watson, Comptroller
General G. T. Sawyer, had no oppo-
sition and received practically the en-
tire vote of the county.
Congressman A. F. Lever from the
Seventh district had no opposition,
nor did Solicitor P. H. Stoll. both re-
ceiving practically the entire vote cast
In the county.

DIES BY OWN HAND.

Manager OF Office OF Cash Register
Company Kills Self in Charleston.
Charleston, Aug. 29.-Arthur c.
Stevenson, local manager of the Ma
tional Cash Register company, shot
and killed himself early this morn
ing at his desk in his office, at 200
King street.
When Coroner Mansfield arrived on
the scene the body was still in a desk
chair with the revolver, gripped
tightly in the right hand lying in Mr..
Stevenson's lap. A piece of paper
was found on the desk which had on
it the words. Tired of life," signed A.
c. Stevenson. There was a request
that his brother be notified. The
shot entered the heart and death is
believed to have been instantaneous.
Mr.. Stevenson was 80 years of age,
and native South Carolinian. He
came to Charleston about three years
ago as a local manager of the cash
register company. His wife has been
sick for the last nine months, and it
is thought that worry over her condi-
tion was the cause of his deed.
Mrs. Stevenson and their baby are
at her home in q small town near At
lanta. She has been notified, as well
as brother in Chattanooga, and the
National Cash Register company's
offices in Dayton, Ohio.
