IN SOUTH CAROLINA. All Returns Not In-Constitutional Amendments Seem to Have Prevailed. The State. The returns from South Carolina precincts were slow, as had been ex pected. So litle interest was taken It the federal election that managers did not bother to send in reports of the results, and The State's correspon dents had difficulty in securing any indications. From the vote reported it is appar ent that all three constitutional amendments have carried, although in several counties there was heavy vot ing against biennial sessions. More than 30 counties have reported, but many of them give little more than the town precincts and the country boxes will not be heard from for sev eral days. The republicans polled enough votes in each congressional district to base contests upon, perhaps, but little more, as by large majorities all seven democratic nominees were elected to congress in this state. The republit cans had out a nominee in every dis trict, as follows: First district, J. A. Noland, white of Charleston against Congressman Lever; second, Isaac Meyers, negro, of Blackville against J. 0. Patterson of Barnwell, the democratic nominee; third, John W. Scott, white, of New berry against Congressman Wyatt Aiken; fourth, J. D. Adams, white, of Laurens against Congressman J. T. Johnson; fifth, C. P. T. White,,negro, of Rock Hill against Congressman D. E. Finley; sixth, E. H. Deas, ne gro, of Darlington against J. E. El1 erbe of Sellers, the democratic nomi nee; seventh, C. C. Jacobs, negro, ot Sumter against Congressman A. F. Lever. The Delegation. The South Carolina delegation In the next congress will be as follows: First district George Legare. re succeed Croft; third, Wyatt Aiken, reelected; fourth, Joseph T. Johnson, reelected; fifth , D. E. Finley, reelect ed; sixth J. E. Ellerbe, to succeea Scarborough; seventh, A. F. Levet, reelected. The state ticket polled practically 'h'e full vote, and it is probable that the total vote cast in this selection will be the largest recorded for some years in South Carolina. Walker Wins. The election of Walker over Spee gle for supervisor in Greenville has been accomplished by a safe majority. Walker is the protesting democratic candidate who was first declared the nominee by the county committee, which later gave the nomination to Speegle, the incumbent. Walker was subsequently endorsed by many ot the democratic precinct clubs, which denounced the county committee's action. Dispegiagy Logs. In Cherokee the first election under the Brice law has resulted in an over whelming defeat for the dispensary. By a vote of six to one the county has voted to close the dispensaries. Four teen out of 24 boxes reported give the dispensary 153 and no dispensary 1,032. In this county Senator Tillman made a speech urging the dispen sary's retention and he sent a tele gram to Greenville telling the people to vote for Speegle. In both cases his advice was rejected.

Colunbia, November io.-News was reteived here last night of a double killing at Eastover, in the lower part of this county, the partici pants being Dispensary Constables R.L. Irby and S. Al Phillips. Accord ing to the report received here the two men quarreled over an overcoat and both produced pistols, firing to gether. Phillips was instantly killed and Irby lived for about an hour. Both were believed to be under the influence of whiskey. ' As soon as Chief Constable Ham met heard of the killing he notified Coroner Green, who directed that the bodies be taken charge of by Magis trate Wertz, who lives in the neigh borhood. The men had gone down to Eastover on their regular round of inspection of the district, and their quarrel was purely a personal one, in which the dispensary played no part. The tragic part of the whole matter is that S. A. Phillips came from East over and was killed within a few rods of the home where he was born, and dies leaving a wife and two children. He had been on the force about eighteen months and was appointed by the governor after being highly recomm1ended by leading citizens of Richland county. R. L. Irby was from Laurens coun ty and was a nephew of the late Sen ator Irby. He had been on the con, stabulary force about seven years. Chief Hammet said tonight- that he was One of the best dispensary con stables in the state, and the best in this district. He was married and leaves a wife and one child. Chief Hammet regrets the tragedy very much, and said last night that if the men were drinking it was in direct violation -of the- ordej-s . iued the foice. No arrangements have yet been made as to the removal of the bodies. Irby was originally from Newberry county, having removed from New berry to Laurens about 15 yea1rs ago. MR. BRYAN EXPLAINS. Democratic Party Sounded Partial Retreat When It Should Have Or dered a Charge. Lincoln, Neb., November Io.-WiI liam Jennings Bryan on Tuesday night gave out an extended state ment concerning Tuesday's election, which is inteded to serve as his com ment on the result, and as an answer to reports connecting him with a movement looking to the formation of a new party. Mr. Bryan said he would not attempt to deny all the reports circulated as to his future political action, but would let his statement serve to explain his posi tion. He says: "The defeat of Judge Parker should not be considered a personal one. He did as well as he could under the cir cumstances; he was the victim of un favorable conditions and of a mistak en party policy. He grew in populari ty as the campaign progressed and expressed himself more and more strongly upon the trust question, but could not overcome the heavy odds against him. The so-called conserva tive democrats charged the defeats of 18g6 and gono to the party's positionn on the money question and insisted I that a victory could be won by drop ping the coinage question entirely. "The reorganizers are in complete control of the party, they planned the campaign and carried it on according to their own views, and the verdict against their plan is a unanimous one. Surely silver cannot be blamed for this. defeat, for the campaign was run on a gold basis. Ncither can the defeat - be charged to emphatic con demnation of the trusts, for the trusts were not assailed as vigorously this ] year as they were four years ago. It is evident that the campaign did not turn upon the question of imperial ism, and it is not fair to consider the result as a personal victory for the president, although his administra tion was the subject of criticism. "The result was due to the fact that the democratic party attempted to be conservative in the presence of condi tions which demand radical remedies. It sounded a partial retreat when it should have ordered a charge all along the line. The democratic party has nothing to gain by catering to organized and predatory wealth. It must not only do without such sup port but it can strengthen itself by inviting the open and emphatic op position of these elements. The cam paign just closed shows that it is as inexpedient from the standpoint of policy as it is wrong from the stand point of principle to attempt any conciliation oi the industrial and :f nancial despots who are gradulally getting control of all the avenues of wealth. The democratic party, if it hopes to win success, must take the sides of the plain, common people." The Mollohon mill shut down on Wednesday afternoon to give the operatives a chance to enjoy the show and the carnival. FAIR EXCHANGE. A New Back For an Old One-How It is Done in Newberry.
