It is be heved the fund will amount to the thousands of dollars by the end of next week and the letters accom panying the donations testify to the widespread and deep concern which the people in every section of the Mute are manifesting in the Inves tigations of the alleged fraud.

Pending the outcome of the probe . the sub-committee which Is re quired to report to a full meeting ot the State committee to be ap pointed by the chairman, the Beeond primary for State officers is Indefi nitely delayed. The State commit tee took the ground that they have original jurisdiction over Stale offi cers and as such could order a second primary if necessary and when they decide, throw the whole primary out and order a new, or do just as their judgment dictated. Act ing on this they ordered a thorough probe of the charges of alleged fraud by a sub-commltttee, indefi nitely delayed the declarations of results of the first primary, and re quested that the second primaries for county offices not nominated in first take place next Tuesday. One county, Newberry, has declined and state that they will wait and hold their second primary the same date as the second State primary. So far as known all other county committees will comply with the re quest of the State committee and hold the second primaries next Tues day. The taple over the result of the Governor Blease on the face of the first primary continues and while returns had a majority of about 4, ii'io votes, no result has yet been declared because charges of alleged wholesale frauds were made. Judge Jones contests d every box in the Matt: and Governor Please charged In n speech from the State House t'teps that tile Jones forces had bluffed the boxes to the extent of rii.onii votes. In the f;;ee of the etiorii'otts vole 1 Iti.OOti and the charges of fraud the Siate commit tee determined to slit the charges of wrong doing to Ihe bottom be fore (leti.iiir.g any result. This Is the object for which the stib-coinmit-tee was appointed. Governor Please claims to have won the nomination and some of his flit litis are charging that th State ! chiirg committee! Is trying to throw him! wife. out. Much dissatisfaction has been e.xprcsst d on account of tho whole sale irregularities alleged to have been practiced and tho statement that "South Carolina has been turn ed Into a seething caldron of dis content" expresses the situation mildly. Partisan feeliti't Is running high and many are openly advoca ting an appeal to the general elec tion as Ihe bi;sis for settling the dis pute. However cool heads want the primary preserved and to this end the State committee ia determined to probe the charges of fraud, rid the primary of tho taint of crookedness, nnd to restore tha confidence of Un people In it.

There were a number of both white and colored boys swim ming at the time and they say that the boy sank while swimming.

Squire Harkey was in fine trim for the occasion and did an excellent job; yes, one that will hold good through life. This happy couple went on their usual vocations and not even their closest friends suspicioned such a thing until last Friday evening when a party was given at the home of Mr. and Mrs. J. V. Koberts of In dian Trail for the purpos? of letting this happy event be known. There was quite a gay crowd assembled, and all seemed to be In the very height of their glory, not knowing there was a far deeper meaning to this special occasion, until at last when the happy crowd were just about to take their leave, then it was Bugtstod to play just one more game, and this game was called "Revelation," nnd in the play the fact was made known that Mr. Orr and Miss Paxion woe man and wife, and they wire now M". and Mrs. Orr.
