TOTAL VOTE IN
PRIMARY NOT TO
PASS 400 FAR

Indications at o'ciock this after
noon were that the total vote in the
democratic white primary, in which
three men are to be nominated for
the Office of city alderman, would not
pass 400. At that hour the number
Of ballots cast was 290, and it was
believed by the candidates that not
many more than 100 additional bal
lots would be cast before the polls
closed at O'Clock.
All five of the candidates remained
close to the voting place all day and
a keen, though quiet, interest was
taken generally in the race. Only
one prediction was heard in the vicin-
ity of the voting place, and that was
that two of the five candidates would
be defeated. This was made certain
by the fact that five men were run
ming for three places.
The fact that all of the names were
on one ballot and that it was neces-
sary for every ballot to be scratched
led to some speculation as to the inn
portance of the arrangement of the
names of the five candidates. L, A.
Morgan was recognized to have oc-
cupied the most advantageous posi-
ton, his name being third on the list.
1t was noticed that some of the vot-
ers who were not acquainted with the
various candidates struck two either
from the top or the bottom. In either
case Mr.. Morgan's name remained un-
touched. The name Of B. c. Hogue
was first on the ticket, followed in
order of R. E. Allison, L. A. Morgan,
w. E. Taylor and J. E. Poole.

returned last evening by the Sumter

two mulatto women also held in con-
nection with the killing, and upon
whose stories Wilson and Binyard are
said to have been connected with the
crime. Just what the states attitude
will be toward these two women, who
are both held on warrants charging
murder, has not been revealed, but
it is expected that nothing more than
turned if mo bills" are not found. 1t
is understood that the state will rely
largely upon their testimony for the
prosecution of Wilson and Binyard.

wife, Pearl Duckworth, and the throw

was recalled and placed in command
at Chapultepec. In 1912 he was
