tity of dynamite has been obtained
by plotters and they are hunting

sented themselves as strikers were
said by the police to have obtained
the first information concerning the
alleged dynamite plots.
The men now held here in con-

COAL NOT USED
IN MANY MILLS
PLANTS IN PIEDMONT SECTION
DRIVEN BY ELECTRICITY.
POSSIBILITY OF ENFORCED
SHUTDOWN FOR THOSE DE.
PENDING ON COAL.

Charlotte, N. c., Aug. 31.-While
the possibility of an enforced shut
down Of many textile mills in the
Carolinas within the next two or
three weeks looms larger daily, most
of the mills in the Piedmont sections
of the two states operate exclusively
on hydro-electric power and there
fore are not menaced by the growing
scarcity of fuel, according to men
familiar with the situation.
Many of the mills operated by
hydro electric power use some coal,
but comparatively little, it is pointed
out. Of this class is the Chadwick
Hoskins company's large chain of
mills. E. C. Dwelle, secretary of this
company, said tonight that their
plants have enough coal on hand to
last only two or three weeks. Ac-
cording to Winstone D. Adams, secre-
tary of the American Cotton Manu-
facturers' association, this condition
is typical of that of the electrically
driven mills of this section gener-
ally.
It was said by the officials that
very nearly no coal is being receiv-
ed by any mills in this section, and
unless the situation is relieved some
what in a week or two curtailment
of operation on the part of many
mills will be necessary. Only one
mill, the Lancaster Cotton mills of
Lancaster, S. c., thus far has been
reported closed on account of the
coal shortage. This company employs
around 1,50O workers. It closed last
Saturday.
1t was pointed out that of the L.
900 or more textile plants of all
kinds in the two Carolinas, 343,
mostly in the Piedmont sections, use
hydro-electric power exclusively,
while 295 use steam power only and
|262 use both electric and steam pow
er. according to the latest available
statistics.
No general shutdown of electric
ally driven plants is expected, ac-
cording to local textile workers.

RESULTS OF PRIMARY NEARLY
COMPLETE.-BLEASE LEADING
Mcleod BY 10000 VOTES.
WOLFE GETS REMUNERATION
FOR ATTORNEY GENERAL.

Columbia, Sept. Near complete
tabulation of votes in Tuesdays pri-
mary for governor yesterday brought
the total up to 171,724. With a few
small boxes yet to be reported and
with more than half the figures CIV
en- as official, the total for the diff
ferent gubernatorial candidates last
night was: Blease 76,29s; Mcleod,
65,4sO; Laney, 23,O4s; Coleman, g.
745; Duncan, 1875 and Cantey, L.
34s. ...
Only 13 small boxes were missing
last night, which would indicate that
fewer than 1000 votes were vet to
be reported.
The combined vote against Mr..
Blease was s5,426, the majority Of
all others over him being 1923. His
lead over Mcleod was 10,808.
An error in yesterdays tabulation
gave Harold Eubanks 6,1o0 more
votes than he had received. His to-
tai yesterday morning should have
been 34,256 instead of 40,356. BY
the elimination of this error, Mr..
Wolfe has a safe majority over his
two opponents.
No tabulation was made last night
of the vote in the race for state su-
perintendent of education, but the
outstanding vote Wednesday night
was not sufficient to make any ap-
preciable change, and John E. Swear
ingen, incumbent, will doubtless
make second race with J. a. Hope.
The outstanding boxes are: Five
in Aiken, four in Cherokee, two in
Dorchester, one in Fairfield, and one
in Orangeburg.

Columbia, Aug. ,31-Approximate-
ly 10000 of the enrolled voters of
the state failed to vote in the pri-
mary of Tuesday and the entire
state is now on the excitement bench
awaiting the second primary of Sep
tember IL when Thomas G Mcleod
and former Governor Cole L. Blease
will be the contestants for the gov
ernor's chair, when the state super
intendent of education, J. E Swear
ingen and J. H. Hope of Union, his
closest opponent, out of a field of
six will run again for the education
office. Never before has the state
known such large number of it's en-
rolled voters to fail to cast ballots,
especially where was such keen in
terest in the outcome.
McLeod's total this morning was
63,685. Blease's was 75,483. George
K. Laney's vote was 20,961. Duncan,
Cantey and Coleman had received
together 6O,S91. Eighty-nine boxes
are missing out of total of 1910.
There is also keen interest in the
race for attorney general. Sam
Wolfe appeared on Wednesdays re-
turns to have won out in the first
primary over two opponents, D. M.
Winter and Harold Eubanks, both
Columbia attorneys. This morning
Wolfe's total however, give him such
small lead as to make this race a
matter yet of doubt.
In the race for superintendent of
education, Hope is only a few thous-
and behind Swearingen. The interest
in this second race will hinge a.
round the vote of the four defeated
candidates, Mrs. E. B. Wallace, Mrs
Bessie Rogers Drake, o. D. Seay and
Cecil H. Seigler.
The state democratic executive
committee will meet next Tuesday to
canvass the results of the first pri-
mary.
