For Governor—Ansel, 689; Blease, 874; Brunson, 115; Jones, 110; Man ning, 58; McMahan, 10; Sloan, 13. For Lieutenant Governor—McLeod (no opposition), 1,875. For Secretary of State—McCown, 1,018; Morrison, 200; Ragtn, 431; Trib ble, 196. For Comptroller General—Jones, 856; Walker, 986. For State Treasurer—Jennings (no opposition), 1,884. For Adjutant and Inspector General —Boyd, 1,861; Haskell. 411. For Superintendent of Education- Martin (no opposition), 1,867. For Attorney General—Lyon, 1,254; Ragsdale, 448; Youmana, 181. For Railroad Commissioner—Cansler, 778; Sellers, 35; Sullivan, 243; Sum- mersett, 861; Wharton, 445. For Congress—Aiken, 1,217; Bogga, 768. For the House of Representative Johnstone (Brice law) and Wyche (dls- J >ensary) are elected on the first bah ot. Aull (dispensary) and Klbler (pro hibition) will make the second race. H. H. Evans received 461 votes, and Is out Of the ra^e. None of the present delegation was re-elected. Wheeler for superintendent of edu cation, Epps for treasurer and Wilson for probate judge were re-elected with out opposition. For auditor, Cromer Is re-elected by a handsome majority over his two op ponents, Buzhardt and Counts. For county supervisor, the second race will probably be between Wicker, the Incumbent, and J. Chesley Domi- . nick, although this standing may be changed by the boxes yet to be heard from. This race Is very close, Feagle and Smith following at close range. About SO per cent of the voters of Newberry county scratched Tillman, the scratching being more general in the town boxes. There are probably 300 to 400 votes yet to be heard from. These may change the results consid erably, owing to the fact that there are very close votes in several of the con tests. It Is probable that Ansel and Man ning will be in the second race for the governorship, with a possibility that Blease will displace Manning. J. Fraser Lyon will In all probability be elected attorney general on the first, ballot over Ragsdale and Youmans. Boyd la elected adjutant and Inspector general over his opponent, Haskell. MCCdwn will .probably be elected sec retary of »tate on the first ballot. For cdmptroller general, Jones has a slight majority, although the returns show that Walker is gaining, and the result Is by no means certain. ANTI DI8PEN8ARY SENTIMENT IN EVIDENCE. Special to The Georgian. McCormick, S. C., Aug. 30.—The elec tion passed quietly here with no dis order about the polls. There was a full vote In the county. The only issue that seemed to have been In the campaign from start to finish is the dispensary. The dispensary sentiment seemfd to have pervaded throughout the county, although there was a strong current of antl-dlspensary that Is shown clearly by Senator B. R. Tillman's name being scratched at almost every box In the county. BIRD SHOT AIMED AT DOG HIT TWO HUMAN MARKS Charlie Davis, a negro who lives at 126 Glenn street, shot at a mad dog Thursday morning. He didn't hit the dog, but the howls that rose to the heavens showed that he had bagged bigger game. * Jim White and Austin Gresham, two negroes, were unwise enough to island in range of Davis’ shotgun and received the full charge of heavy bird shot. Davis was nervous when the dog rush ed toward him and he fired too high. The shot struck the sidewalk on Glenn street and glanced aipwnrd, sprinkling the anatomy of the two negroes liber ally. Dr. A. H. Cochran picked forty shot from beneath Gresham’s hide and recovered eighteen which White had Intercepted nnd for which he had no use. The queerest thing of all happened then. The dog, frightened at the shot and perhaps sprinkled with a few, turned from the sidewalk and ran In front of a passing car. There was a crushing sound, n howl or two, and the, car had done what the shotgun failed i to do. The dog would frighten nobody else. The mad dog had bltt-en a dog owned by L. A. Curtis, of 118 Glenn street, and Call Officer Luck was called to kill the animal. He proved a better shot than the negro and finished his work by arresting Davis on a charge of shooting within the city limits.

The lead ing roles were played by Burton Smith, adjutant of the regiment and prosecu tor of the case; Captain Palmour, of the Fifth, and Motorman J. S. DeLoach, who drove the rampant car Into his excellency’s loyal troops. Colonel Ben Conyers, the attorney tor the defense, also held the stage for some time. When Colonel Conyers got through cross-questioning the witnesses against the motorman, they didn’t know a right face from a shoulder strap.

The case resolved itself into the following questions: Who did it? Why did he do It? Whose fault was It? How many feet was It? What Is a right angle? What does "squad right” mean, and how long does it take to do It? Sid Holland, the aldermen, who was acting recorder, gave up the problem early In the action. After Inquiring softly of Clerk Preston "How long be fore Broyles will be back?" he passed the case up to City Attorney James L.

O O O 0ooooooaoooooooGoaoooo$o<»o HOUGH It would be too much to say that we here In Europe are adopting the teachings of, Nir vana, one must admit that Buddhism today, now that It hns become more widely known, possesses a great power of attraction for the curious and free spirited, and that the magic of Cayka- Munl Is apt to get great power over simple minds. It Is wonderful, when one remembers that this source of thorals which sprung forth at the foot of Himalaya, before the genius of the Hellenes was fully developed, has still preserved Its whole fertile purity and bewitching fresh ness, anil that the Huge from Kapllava- thu even today Is the best adviser and most valued friend in adversities. Buddhism can hardly be called a re ligion. It has neither a Cosmogony, gods, nor a real cult. It Is the beautiful moral and a philosophy which stnnds comparison with the most daring thoughts of the modern'mtnd. Buddhism has captured Thibet, Blr- tna, Slum, Cambodia, Annam, China, nnd India without shedding a drop of blood. In India it has .only been able to hold its own In Ceylon, but It has 400,000,000 followers in other parts of Asia. When you look more closely at it, It Is not so strange that It Is gaining ground in Europe. It was Buddhism which Inspired Germany’s most pow erful philosopher to a jfhllosophy whose wonderful exactness no one doubts any longer. It Is a well known .fact that Schopenhauer built his theory of the will on the basis of the Buddhistic philosophy. The great pessimist him self did not deny this, and In his se verely plain bedroom he even had l golden statue of Buddha. It must also he admitted that the theosophlsts with their strange beliefs during the last years have done very much to make the teachings of Cakya- Munt widely known In England und Tance. At the same time Sumangala, the high priest of the Church of the South, received European science In a very friendly manner. Draped in his yellow bouruuH, till* dark-skinned snge read the works of Herbert Hpenoer, while thoughtfully chewing his betel. Altogether Buddhism Is very friendly to science, and thus it pleased Human - gala to enlist Darwin nnd I.lttre among his saints, because they, like the As- cetes, were eager to further the good cause, and showed great contempt for the material blessing* of this world. The Church of the South, who.se head Sumangala I*. Is more rational and liberal than the Church of the North, whose apostolic capital Is In Thibet. When one look* more closely at these two churches they often appear ridicu lous beenUHe of their Ignorance find superstitions, while Buddhism I* alto gether wisdom, love and charity.

And It seemed to me thnt this young Ascete who sits with crossed legs on the lotus llower, the symbol ot purity, answered me In two words: charity and resignation. His whole history, be It real or merely imaginary, is beau tiful, and came to my mind. It said: "I was the son of a king and was brought up In magnificent palaces and beautiful gardens, where golden foun tains played and beautiful peacocks displayed their gorgeous colors on the green lawns and where high walls hid the misery of the world from my eyes, but my heart was sad because only one thought lived In me. And when my beautiful slaves played to me and danc ed before me my harem looked to me as If It were a graveyard; "Four times 1 left my garden. I met an old man, and I felt weak from age like he; 1 met a sick man, and 1 suf fered from the same sickness; I inet a corpse, and death was In me. I met Ascete, nnd ns I saw that he had peace within himself, 1 resolved to reach It following his example. "One night, while everybody In my palace was sleeping, I took a last look at my sleeping wife and child, mounted my white horse and fled Into the swamp woods to think over the mis eries of humanity, over their countless causes and the means to escape them. "I asked two famous hermits, who told me that only by chastising his body could man achieve wisdom. But I felt that these men were not Wise, and I myself was so exhausted from being without food for many days that the shepherds on Mount Gaya, seeln gme, exclaimed: 'Oh, look at the beautiful hermit, he Is all black and blue, and his colors like the fish niatyura.' "I was nearly dying without having found the wisdom which I had sought, but when I reached the shores of Lake Nalrandjana I ate the honey, soup and evening under the tree Boddhl and spent the night in silent thought. To ward dawn my soul opened as the white Lotus flower, and I felt within myself that all our misery comes from our desires, which distort the true na ture of all things. Did we, however, possess full knowledge of the universe, It wrould be clear to us that nothing Is worth desiring and this knowiedge would end all our unhappiness. After that day I kept on endeavoring to kill all desires within myself and to teach other people to do the same. I taught them simplicity and Justice, and said to them: "Not the carefully braided hair, nor w’ealth, nor high birth, make* the Brahman. Only he In whom truth and Justice live Is happy.” I further said: "Give up your pride, your vanity and your passions. As an elephant destroys a frail hut, so the passions destroy your happiness, and you must tear them out of your heart, for they are the armies of death. You can no more feel happy as long as you have all kinds of desires than you can quench your thirst with all the water In the sea. Wisdom alone can quench the thirst of the soul. Be without ha- Tbe proprietor of the boarding house near the corner of East Fair and Moore streets, on which the sign "Auc tion” appears, wishes The Georgian to express plainly the fact that the sign was put up to advertise the sale of the house. The Georgian Wednesday printed a little sketch showing a bevy of young ladles on the porch with the big sign "Auction,” above them, printing it solely as a funny little Incident and one that caused some little merriment among passers-by. The residents of the house feel that they have been done an Injustice by the sketch and wish The Georgian to make this statement. They think that they were insulted by the picture—for which The Georg ian apologizes most profoundly. DREYFU8 TO RETIRE. By Private Lenseil Wire. Paris, Aug. 30.—That Major Alfred Dreyfus Is to retire from the army In October on a pension li th* statement made by The Patrle. I believe he did, he was the best of men. "He was a saint,” cried Marco Polo, when he heard his history. Yes, he was a saint and a sage. Hut his wisdom was not made for the al ways restless people of Europe nnd America, and the remedy which he tells us cures the universal evil does not help us. He promises us as a reward for our efforts the Nirvana, the abso lute peace, and the mere fhought >f absolute pence and quiet fills us with terror. Cakya-Muni has not come for our sake; he will not save us, hut he Is, nevertheless, our best friend and Jadvlser. To those who understand him he gives earnest, strong rules of living, and if he does not help us to solve the social question, the balm of his words are still able to heal many secret wounds and sorrows. Before I left the museum I went to the beautiful rotunda in which the li brary Is, and I found In one of the.<e books a legend which made such an Im pression upon me that I must tell It again here: In Mathurla, In Bengal, once lived a courtIsane who w’as exceedingly beau* tlful nnd was called Vasavadatta. On# day she met In the street the young Upagupta. and Immediately fell in love with him. She sent her servant to him land told him that she would be v*ry glad to see him at her house. But Upagupta did not come. **- chaste nnd kind-hearted and full of charity. He possessed wisdom, obeyed the law’s of Buddha. Therefore, he despised the love of this woman. Now’ It happened that Vasavadatta, who had committed a crime, wns sen tenced to have her hands, feets, ears and nose cut off. She was taken to the grave yard, w’here the sentence w’as carried out, and she was left there. , . E She was alive and her servant, who loved her, stayed with her and drove the files away with a fan, that the poor tortured girl might die In peace. While Ishe was performing this charitable duty she saw a man coming, who did not look as If he came for curiosity, but rather from pity. A child was hold ing a parasol over his head. When tho servant saw that It was Upaguptu, she hurriedly gathered her mistress’ hand* and feet and covered them with her mantle. The young man went.up to \ asara- datta and silently looked at the glr! who had once been the coatllest pearl of the city. The courtlaane .jj>er\ed her eyes and when she recognis'd him she said with her dying voice: "Upagupta, Upagupta, when my body was decked with costly silks, when It was soft, and white like the lotlis flow er, ! waited for you In vain.. Why do you come when l am bloody and man- S ued and must awaken only feelings of Horror and disgust?” r in a voice full of ujspeakabltf kind ness Upagupta replieu: tiH "Sister Vasavadatta, In those days when you were beautiful, your beauty did not allure me. I saw you even then with the eyek of my soul, as I see you before me now. I knew that beauty i* worthless. Verily, I tell you, to those who really hear and see, you are still the same.
