SOUTH CAROUNA
PRIMARY ELECTION
of Stand-Off Between
Prohis'and Antis.
resolt is yet uncertain
Second Primary Will be Held to Dc-
cide*Fig^^t—Featherstone, the Prohi,
and Blease, the Antt, wtll Con
testants in Second Fight.
In tlie South Caralina state elec
tions witii about 40,000 votes from
^irty*one counties heard from, tt is
evident that C. C. Featherstone and
Cole L. Blease will be in the second
race for Rovernor. Thomas G. Mc
Leod ran li. fair third. Mr. Feather
stone is a pranibitionist, while Blease
and McLeod are advocate? of local
option. <
Practically a Stand-Off,
In the race for governor and lieu
tenant governor the prohibitionists
and local optionists s&' faCr are prac
tically at a stand-off. The local op
tion candidates, Messrs. Blease and
ilcLeod, polled a majority of, the
Yote, vrhile Uiat cast for the prohibi
tion candidates, Featherstone, Hyatt
and Rich?a-ds, v/as lighter than ex
pected. Mr, Featherstone’s vote was
good, but the other two fell off badly
from estimates. On the other liand.
the prohibiLion candidate for lieuten
ant governor has made a great race
and is almost certain of eiecUoji,
Second Primary to Be Hot..
Two v.eeks intervening befocre the
second primary will witness one of
iie most heated campaigns In this
state since the days, ck “Ti^lmanism.”
The prohibitionists have never before
made a very flattering showing in
elections for state officers, but this is
the first real state-wide prohibition
campaign that has been waged in
South Carolina. All but six of the
forty-three countiefe in the sae now
enjoy prohibition under the operation
of a very liberal local option law, and
whatever the outcome of this election,
Soutli Carolina will not be very “wet.”

A. B. Gamble, of Greenville, Ala,
has been appointed judge of the sec

of the old term; others that by the
constitution it can extend two years
longer.
Former Gov. J. Proctor Knott, affac
