B.—The Deme cratrheve had a great fight, and all the indicationa point to a sweeping „ vie lory. The negroes voted in largj Vn umber* but some voted the demo cratic ticket. .. No rioting of any kind has been re ported in any section of the state. At Newbtrne, the center of negro rule, the Democrats will win an easy victo ry, and a number of white Republicans surprised their party managers by voting the straight white man’s ticket. At Kingston, where trouble bad been looked for, the election progressed very quietly and the negroes there also stayed away from the polls. The fusion element realized that at the close of the polls today tbejtfate bad been re de«med by the Democratic voters. Riot In South Carolina/ Gbmhwood, 8. C., Nov. B—ln* to day’s election the people of this sec tion have bad a forceful reminder of the days of 76-80, although u nusual 1/ quiet as to this precinct. Intense ex citement has prevailed all day because of the ehootidg of Mr. Boaz Etheridge, one of the managers of the election early this morning, and subsequent riot among the whites and blacks at that place, in which one of the Tol berts and several nogroes were mor tally wounded. The Result In Mew York- New York, Nov. B—-Judge Van Wyck has most assuredly won in this race for governor of this state, although it will bo by a very small majority. Everything has passed off quietly at the polls all over the state The- democrats expect to elect a majority of legislators, which insures the re-election of Senator Murphy. —4 - - MUST INCREASE TAX RATE There Is a Deficit of a Million And a Half Dollars in Treasury. Tbe advance sheets of Treasurer J. W. Speer’s report show that the state has on band a net deficit of $1,575,- 015 43 up to October let of this yeah The cash on baud is a little over $120,- 000, but against this must come tbe pnderdrawn appropriations of tbe last legislature and the $200,000 loan con tracted by Gov. Atkinson to relieve tbe school fund. The loss last year in tbe state administration was $44,626 88 with a tax rate of $5 21 per SI,OOO. In 1898 then tax rate was $6 21, with a loss of $302,241.63. Treasurer Speer estimates the tax rate for 1899 at $6 94 per SI,OOO, which would allow for no appropriations by the present legislature. This is tbe virtual situation confronting the legis lature. Governor Candler says he will make no appointmentsjto office, or even lis ten to applications unless the term of office to be filled expires witbin a short time. He declares be wants to be free to give bis whole attention to a study of the deplorably financial condition of the state and to devise some plan by'whicb be can assist tbe legislature to extricate Georgia from her present critical position. He says that the existing tax rale is much 100 high, considering the price of cotton and the small amount of taxable property returned, and that bis whole endeavors shall be directed toward de creasing the rate, or at least seeing that it goes no higher.

(PEACE SOARD STOPS WORK. •MMWMMMaw Annouoe That Sittings of Commis sion Have Been Suspended. Nov. B.—-TheSpanish-Amer loan peace commissioners have noti fied tbe minister of foreign affaire, M. Delcssse, that tbe joint session which was to have taken place today will not be bold and that they will notify the minister when they will bavo de termined upon the date of another meeting. Later a semi-official note was issued announcing that tbe peace commis sioners bad informed tbe French min ister of foreign affairs that their con ferences were suspended. Tbe Gaulois this morning referring to today’s sitting of the peace com mission, says it will in no way .modify tbe Spanish-American situation, "as tbe American com mission era bavo or ders to await further instractiongfrom Washington’’ . Tbe Gualoie says these instructions will depend upon tbe result of tbe elections, which the paper mentioned thinks will be favorable to the Repub- Jicans. The Gaulois continues: "The Amer ican government will eventually rec dgnize that pecuniary compensation is due to Spain for tbe evacuation of tbe Philippines island and tbe negotiation Will continue and be brought to a sat isfactory conclusion in a very friendly spirit.’’ ‘ Expected Living Burial- Tbe Rev. Dr. Henry C. McCook says in the Philadelphia Press : "There is no doubt that many of the Spaniards after tbe battle of Santiago believed that the Americans would shoot all captives. A touching story at El Caney that shows this feeling was related by a staff officer. After tbe capture of the fort that crowned tbe bill a burial party under Capt. Allen proceeded to inter the Spanish dead, which was done by laying them in their own trenches dog before tbe breastworks, as was also done at Ban Juan. Nearby lay a lad of 17, shot through the hips. As tbe bodies of bis comrades were borne behind them be would turn his bead and follow the sad work with a horror stricken coun tenance. Tbe American officer ob served his face, and, rightly discerning his feelings, called an interpreter and assured tbe youthful soldier that no barm would be done bim. "Shall I not be buried alive, along with my dead comrades?” was tbe anxious qqpry. "No, no! You shall be cared for pres ently, and your wounds dressed and tendered as if you were an American.” Tbe j outb’s face was instgptly trans formed. His horror was changed to Happiness, bis fear to friendship. He reached out bis band to Capt. Allen with profuse thanksfand until be was taken to tbe hospital showed bis grati tude by shaking bands with every American who came near.

B—A dispatch to The Herald from Washington says: Major Simpson, of General Merritt’s staff, baa just returned from Manila and though personally bo does not seem to fear serious trouble with tbe forces of Aguinaldo, be says there is a dietinc; sentiment among tbe United States troops the% there may be more trouble and that more troops will be needed. , Aguioaldo’s force io reckoned at about 30,000 and Major Simpson free* ly admits that tbe rebels are ia com mand of tbe island of Luzon. Tbe recent attack on Iloilo by tbe forces of Aguinaldo recalled to Major Simpson tbe fact that Aguinaldo bad soma transports and that about 500 of tbe Luzon troops bad been carried to tbe island of Panay. On the island of Mindaad tbe situation is not under stood as tbe inhabitants are mostly Mohammedans. Little or no investi gation of tbe situation there hss been made by our army. Back in the bills of Luzon many, tribes are almost unv governed and have never felt tbe force of either the insurgents or Spaniards. To complicate the situation tfee priests are now intriguing to make tbe rebate discontented with Aguinaldo and to set up another insurgent chief. Should all the islands pass into the bands of tbe United States tbe situa tion might be one of surprise. Tbo fact that Aguioaldo’s troops attacked Iloilo according to Major Simpson shows that Aguinaldo has not ac quiesced in tbe decision involved in the fall of Manila. ... A Narrow Escape.

An oblig ing clerk waited on her, and soon the floor about Was piled with patent leathers, satin and kid footgear of every make and style. That woman kept that clerk waiting on her for half an hour fetching and carrying boxes back and forth, and when at last, in a patient voice, he asked her: "Don’t any of these please you, madam?” “Oh, yes, I’m very well blessed, indeed. You tee, I just bought a pair of slippers at Blank’s, and I wonted to see if they were as nice as tbe ones you advertise. Yeo. I’m very well pleased, thank yon. Good morning.” C jflk 88 T O m.
