pie express! n of their preferences upon
the part of Democratic voters. Crowds
of paid workers were in evidence, there
was ail the tu nv il of a regular election
ani tu'f the po ice force was required to
ke; p order. This sort of primary may be
au . .glit. i.ut i. ere vas tons.titrable dis
satisfaction expressed. r \ he only advant
age resulting from it was the shutting out
of the negro vote. The purchasable whi'e
vote though, was in full evidence.
The rival far ions 1 net: up at the polls
very e*rly in the morning. The police ar
rived at 4 o’clock and shortly after their
a nival the Citizens, who had been spend
ing the n got nearby at Gild a s, Nicol
son s Hall ar.d a vacant sto e on Drough
ts street, put in their appearance and
lined up a: the btxes. They claimed to
have had about 400 voters in line at this
time, chiefly fr< m the First and Fourth
and all lets. At 5 o'clock the Hartridge-JdL
eral contingent annul und r command of
Harry Wiilink. Finding their or>po
n nts al eady lined up a th" boxes, the
liberals did not a*.tempt *o forcibly take
pjtsession, but Mr. Wiilink proposed that
t e two sM s should line up t gether side
by s de. Th - Citizens ac . lined to accept
this proposition, aid the police backed
them up in declininjr to aillow the two
factions to form a doulle front at the
boxes.
Vr. Wi Ink expressed h'mself very
plainly as to the conduct of the police,
but did not att.mp to force matters. As
a member of <he managing committee of
three, cf which Mr. J. F. Sullivan was
also a mtfnbcr. it would hav*- been easy
for him to secure a ruling requiring the
two factions to line up together, and the
managers to accent vot ra alternately
fr m ench s4de. Mr. Wiilink, when asked
a’out the mottor, said that he did not
consider the numbers of the opposition at
al! formWlat!*, and that he thought it
just as w. 11 to let thl crowd in front vote
and get out of the way. The Liberals ac
cordingly lined up in the rear of their
oaponfnts.
The scrapping began almost as soon as
the rival factions arrived on the field.
Both sides were full of pluck and nerve
and eager for a tussle with their oppo
nents. A young Liberal w r orker from the
First district picked out* an opposition
man against whom he had a personal
grudge and sailed Into him. Before the
police had adjusted this matter a well
known young Liberal leader from the
Fourth and a Citizen worker engaged In
a decidedly lively scrap, in which both
suffered somewhat. Before the police could
get the scrappers in hand half a dozen
friends of each had got into the game and
the melee bectame pretty general. After
this time the scrapping was almost con
tinuous until the polls opened. The police
arrested a good many, but for the most
pari they simply forced the scrappers
atwirt, using their clubs only when forced
to do so by the obstreperousness of the
scrappers.
The Liberals claim that they did not get
a fair deal from the police; that when
there was a scrap the police would ar
rest their man and let the other man go.
Whether this was true or not. It is safe
to say that th** ixjllee did no injustice to
the Citizens’ side. The latter also had
the advantage in the number of deputies
named by Sheriff Sweeny, the majority
of whom were avowed supporters of Mr.
Osborne. However, the conduct of both
P-Jioe and the deputies throughout the
day was fairly equitable, and there was
an evident desire on the part of both to
preserve order without I*lng severe on
the partisans of either side.
The managers were on hand promptly
and all the arrangements for the primary
having been made the evening before, the
preliminaries wer** arranged without’any
dilßc-ulty. Promptly at 7 o’clock the win
dows were thrown up and the voting be
gan at once. Some of the managers were
a little scrappy at first and inclined to be
argumentative, but Referee Cunningham
!’ a ‘ on . hand and promptly decided all
disputed points. It was not long before
tne managers reached the conclusion that
the voters ar.d not they would settle the
questions at issue and a mutual under
standing seemed to arise that there should
be no unreasonable kicks and that the
best thing to be done was to facilitate the
getting in of the vote without interposing
any unnecessary obstacles.
T. M. Cunningham. Jr., the referee
®‘ 'he Action. dlsciim-sid hln duties with
the ability, fairness and discretion with
which he nad been credited by both ski s.
He was frequently cal!ed upon during the
morning to settle disputed points bet won
the managers, and it was rnrelv the case
that his derision was not both j.omtt
and satisfactory. Mr. Cunningham held
““ a ff nern ' rule that the appearance of a
voter s name ■ upon the registration list
was prlnia facia evidence of his right to
vote, and that if challenged he Itnd a right
to make oath to the truth of his state
ments. If there was anything doubtful
ot suspicious in the voter’s manner of tes
tifying. this was considered evidence
against him. and he was called upon to
produce proof of his statements
Several parties were challenged as to
Jhelr citizenship. One of these made oath
that he was a citizen, and upon inquiry
by the referee sa.d that he had his paper*
v l l h h*m. Hf was called upon to produce
tne paper*. Upon examination it was
lound that he been me a citizen May 7. and
o the registration for the primary closed
May o, he was ruled out by the referee. A
good many applicants were questioned as
to age, and Mitf few were ruled out on
this point. All told, however, file number
of voter* who were rejected did noi exceed
a dozen. The question of identification
gave some trouble, especially along In the
afternoon, when a good many attempts
were made to vofe the names of parties
who had not ye-t voted. The manic, ra
were usually able to settle on these ques
tions for themselves, however. In fact
the referee preferred to leave the settle
ment of all minor points to the managers
nnd only gave his dictum when the man
agers could not agree.
An Incident occurred at a Third district
box In the morning which attracted some
attention. A young fellow applied to
voe and gave the name of u w. il known
young businea* man. He had tho ago
and residence of the party in whoFe name
he intended to vote down put and was
prepared to swear that he wn the man.
\ folding, on< -‘ of the man age re
at the box, happened to he well acquaint
ed with the gentleman whose name was
Bought to be voted. He waited until the
applicant had reached the swearing point
*” en to a policeman to “arrest
that man.” When he heard these
words he flew Ilka a frightened deer and
was out of sight before the nearest po
liceman comprehended what was wanted.
Attempts of this kind were few, how
ever.
£ol. r. W. Meldrim, chairman of the
Executive Committee, was at the Court
House ai 6:3) o'clock in tho morning and
remained ihere during the entire- day,
wiih the exception of the time that he
took for his meals. While the arrange
ments for the primary relieved the chair
man of any responsibility while the elec
tion was in progress. Col. Meldrim show
ed hi3 interest by remaining on hand, ob
serving events and quietly ndvising the
managers where a word in season was de
sirable.
Mayor Myers was another interested
witness who votfed early and remained
on hand the greater part of the day. The
Mayor was confident from the start and
fU noon expressed the conviction that Mr.
Osbdrne’.s election was assured, together
with a majority, if not all, of his ticket.
Rev. Bascom Anthony voted during the
morning, but remained at the Court House
during the greater parr of the day.
The candidates were all in evidence.
Mr. W. W. Oisbome and Mr. W. C. Hart
ridge both displayed great activity, mov
ing about constantly among their follow
ers, encouraging the workers and giving
orders and suggestions to their lieuten
ants. At 2 o’clock both Mr. Osborne and
Mr. Hart ridge expressed their satisfac
tion at the outlook from the standpoint
of each. Copt. John R. Dillon and Cos!.
Waring Russell were considerable in ev
idence, notwithstanding the fact that the
crowd was generally disposed to concede
the election of both. Mr. J. S. Collins
was an active and effective worker in
behalf of himself and his ticket. Along
in the afternoon, however, 1< was a mat
ter of general Information on both sides
that Mr. Collins had been badly scratch**!
by some Citizens workers, who had per
sonal reasons for supporting his oppon
ent, Mr. Waring Russell, Jr. For some
unexplained reason, Coroner Goetfe w r ns
severely out by many of his Liberal
friends, especially in the Fourth district,
and this, it was thought, would insure
the election of his opponent, Dr. Keller.
Mr. Goette became disgusted at the state
of affairs, and left the Court House at 10
o’clock, returning again, however, in the
afternoon.
Bofh Col. Brooks and Maj. Schwarz,
the candidates for county sheriff, were
on hand, but neither seemed to be doing
any great amount of work. The candi
dates for County Commissioners were oc
casionally seen, but did not appear to be
doing any great amount of work.
The vo'es went into the boxes with the
regularity that was almost like clockwork
during fhe first ‘six hours. In fact, ihe
voting during the first half of the pri
mary was very even. For the first three
hours the votes went Into the box at the
rote of 600 an hour," during the fourth
hour the rate was GSO and during (he fifth
hour about 575 votes were cast. After 12
o’clock the voting gradually slacked up.
Between 12 and 1 o’clock 520 votes were
cast, between 1 and 2, 500, between 2 and
4 the rate dropped to 350 an hour, between
4 nnd 5, 210 votes went into the box, and
between 5 and 7 exactly the same num
ber.
Between timee in deciding disputed
poime for the managers,Referee Cunnine
ham took the trouble to obtain the vote
at the boxes at intervals. The figures,
which he kindly furnished to a Morning
News reporter are as follows: At 10
o’clock. 1,855; 11 o’clock. 2.523 ; 22 o’clock,
3,067; 1 o’clock, 3,587 ; 2 o’clock, 4.((86; 4
o’clock, 4,737 : 5 o’clock, 4,948. This show's
how' evenly the vote ran during the day
until the last two hours, when it fell
ofT sharply.
A count of the boxes, taken jus* as the
polls were about to close, gave the follow
ing result: First district, box 1, 602, box
2. 613, total, 1,215; Second district, 797;
Third district, box 1, 551, box 2. 613; total,
1.164; Fourth district, Jbox 1, 525; box 2, 606,
box 3, 589, total, 1,710; country, 270; grand
total. 5,156. Probably three or four vales
got in just at the close, giving a grand
total of 5,160 votes out of a registration
of 5,764 white voters. This is a loss of
about 10*4 per cent., or an unusually close
vote, being probably closer to the possi
ble vote than any election In recent years.
GATHERING OF THE CLANS.
Voters and Worker* on Both Sides
Corralled Monday Nhf.
The voters of several of the districts
were coralled by the opposition workers
Monday night and were held in halls
rented for this purpose until it was time
for them to march to the polls. The en
thusiasm displayed by many of these men
In the result of a j>oli ical llgrht that could
have but very little to do with them or
♦ heir status was a source of amusement
to those who had hut a casual interest in
the campaign.
The Osborne cohorts had their principal
gathering place at Gildta’s Music Hall,
the Alhambra, where they were collected
In large force and whence there proceeded
the usual sounds of levelry by night. The
Har iidge c ans had 1 e n collected, for thi
greater part, at the Harris s reet hall and
u’ Turner’s Hail, and from these places
of assemblage the sounds of revelry that
proceeded were no less marked and fre
quent. There was diink. and pleniy of it,
for the thirsty, and but few of those who
been gathered into these assemblages
of the. elect had left their thirsts at home.
A Morning News reporter made a hur
ried Inspection of these places during the
early hours. The halls were filled witn
voters and many of the voters were filled
with beer. Every now’ and then a genial
and obbilging represenlative would
bring in and broach an addi
tional keg and tho cohorts would flock
about It. In the framing and sparkling
fluid the health of the candidate whoso
adherents chanced to be gathered togeth
er in each particular place would* be
Jrunk. En husiasm ran rampant, the chief
woike s ff the respective factions would
wander in occasionally and make the
i row da a speech, exhorting them to be
punctual and ready when the polls were
o ered.
The halls presented a picturesque ap
peatance Mon In their shirt-sleeves were

“I have sold all of Johnson’s Tonic that I had on hand except four bottles.
It acted like a charm. Every bottle has given entire satisfaction. It broke into

to be the best fever medicine on earth. It goes like hot cakes when fever is on

seatUred over the flors and benches,
sleeping and snoring soundly. The odors
of tobacco smoke and beer filled the
air and controlled it. Restlessness, ex
citement. more or less subdued, and a
wild desire to get to the polls and vote
w’ere everywhere in evidence. Through it
all moved those cf ihe factional workers
in charge of the colr?ction and retention
of the voters, exhorting the'r companies
to keep together, and, when the oppor
tunity was presented, to vote the straigh:
ticket. Various pleas were offered to
strengthen the force of these arguments
and exhortations; the most effective was
an occasional sight cf the long green.
“LETT'S HEAL WOIADS OF WAR.”
Hurt riilgc Is Willing to Abide tlie
Primary’ll Result.
Mr. Walter C. Hartridge, the defeated
candidate for the solicitor generalship,
was seen after the polls were closed and
the result been determined.
“I desire only to say this,” he said. “I
made the fight on a platform which I felt
met with the entire approval of the public
conscience, as well as my own. It seems
that in this I was mistaken. I accept this
defeat as one of the fortunes of political
warfare, with a deep sense of gratitude
to the loyal friends who fought iny fight.
“There were some things in the contest
ond In the conduct of the city officials to
which I feel I could properly take excep
tion, but I deem it to be to the best inter
ests of this community to have the wounds
engendered in this strife as speedily heal
ed as possible.”
OSBORNE W ELL SATISFIED.
All That He Would Soy About the
Result of the Primary.
Solicitor General W. W. Osborne was
asked last night to give some expression
of opinion as to the result of the fight that
had been made against him and his can
didacy. He would have nothing to cay.
“I don’t think it would be the right
thing for me to say anything at this Junc
ture,’’ said Mr. Osborne. “It would not,
possibly, be In good taste. I can say, how
ever, that lam well satisfied with the re
sult from every standpoint.”
FIGHTS WERE VERY FREQUENT.
They Disturbed the Atmosphere
Greatly Around the Court Home.
There was scrapping around the Court
House from the time the polls were open
ed until the time they were closed. The
supporters of both sides, that w’ere en
dowed with an unusual amount of physi
cal ability, did not hesitate to exhibit it,
and fists, canes, umbrellas, sticks and
other weapons of offense w’ere brought
into play with a degree of frequency that
wus anything but pleasing to the con
servative element.
It is understood and generally believed
that the number of fights during the day
w’ill closely approach 150. They happened
at almost any moment and from almost
every cause, from the question of a nomi
nation or a right to vote to the drop of
a hat. Little was needed to raise the blood
of the partisans to the fighting point.
From the Liberal standpoint the friends
and political allies of Mr. Hartridge
claimed to have got much tho worst of it,
as far as the police were concerned.
There was not half an hour during the
day that there was not a fight, and most
ef these intervals of time contained half
a dozen personal difficulties
Black eyes, brtken n iscs, bruised faces
and other instances of personal disfigure
ment were In ccnstant evidence. One man
was reported to have had his eye nearly
knocked out. while others boasted or con
cealed various wounds showing the ill
luck that had attended th m. In the late
afternoon Officer Kiley, of Justice Wick
ham’s court, had his face cut open by the
fist of a member of the opposition.

tlie Cainpaisrn.
Columbia, S. C„ May 15 —The city is full

The Prohibitionists do not fear this be
ing done unless it is sprung by Senator
Tillman. The leading presiding officers of
the state are candidates for Governor, and
it is p o;o?ed to make At'orncy General
Bellinger, who has no opposition for re
election, president of the convention, so
as to give no one the advantage. There
is some talk to-night of a fight against
an anti-expansion plank in the plat
form.

Spartanburg, who was arrested for ab
ducting a 13-year-old girl, whom he mar
iled, has been settled to the satisfaction
