b:
Columbia. S. C., Aug. 27.?Adeli- *
tional but yot incomplete return*
from all counties of the balloting
for United States Senator in the
first Democratic primary of this ^
State gave Governor Cole L. Blease
48,000 and Senator E. D. Smith
65,000 out of 117,000 votes reported.
The returns received showed
Senator Smith maintaining his ma- D
Jority rolled up by the returns last
night, which is now sufficient to renominate
him over his three opponents
without the holding of a sec- jr
ond primary. Approximately 25,000
votes are yet to be returned. n
^senator Smith received heavy c
votes in counties which two years ^
ago went largely for Blease and in u
oniy inree 01 me nine counties re- n
turning completed counts did the n
governor receive majorities. Earh
p
of these counties polled a relatively
small vote.
In the race for 'Governor, Robert
A. Cooper held a majority of about |
,000 votes over Richard I. Manning
and John G. Richards, his nearest \
opponents, eacjj of,whom had received
19,500 at an early hour. Maintaining
his safe majority, it appeared
that Cooper would enter the second S
primary. The other eight candidates p

REMOVED
)'S THROAT |
ITER TUESDAY
One of the most remarkable surgical
operations ever performed In
Washington took place at the Fowle
Memorial Hospital Tuesday by Dr.
H. W. Carter, of this city.
l-?ast Friday the 13-months-old
child of Addle Collins, colored, of
Hyde county, swallowed a coffee
bean which lodged in the child's
windpipe and subsequently went down
sb far as the entrance to the lungs.
From FTlday until Tuesday the child
suffered immensely and would have
died within & short time if it had
not been removed. Immediately after
the child was brought to this
city and examined by Dr. Carter he
was immediately carried to the hos- .
pital and the coffee bean removed.
The surgeon made an incision in the
throat and removed the cause of the
trouble. The bean was a whole one *
and when removed was intact.
The little sufferer 18 now getting
along nicely and strong hopes are
entertained for his recovery. Thlf
is a rare operation and shows Dr.
Carter's skill as a surgeon.
