has never been seen In Amerlona
before. - Instead of that small
cooped op stage a large and roomy
one appears. Large and oomforta-
ble dressing rooms take the place
of those little dungeons of the
past. The old obalre and stools
have been replaced by handsome
opera seats. This news will be
hailed with delight by theater
Whiles great deal of money and
labor has been expended on the
exterior of the building the repairs
on the interior most not be lost

the old death traps, handsome
doors have been swung and the
walis have been testily painted.
Bat the most catching thing lethe
new and beautiful scenery that has

Rome, Oot. 1.—Shake. The Jet-
feraonlan Democrats won a great
vlotory to-day. Felix Corpot, Sea
born Whatly and J. Lindsay John
son, alliance candidates for the
legislature, were defeated by Jno,
J, Seay, Jno. W. Turner and W. O.
llryau, genuine Democratic noml
nee*.
The defeat of the alliance ticket
means death knell of R. W. Everett,
Alliance candidate for congress
from the Seventh district, and the
election of Dr. Felton. The victory
for pure Democracy Is a notable
one, and gives. Sullivan qnletls to
demsgognee of alllanoe and should
teach some papers to go alow In
potting their oars where they have
no business. The old Seventh,led by
Floyd county, will yet eave Geor-

That oounty will lead in a great

Yesterday a -man reported that
recently In that county a woman
went fishing on one of the numer
ous streams of that favored land,
and she halted the book and threw
It Into the water and waited for
something to bite.
Something bit bnt It was not a
fish nor a moccasin snake, it was a
wild dock which chanced to swim
along and swallow the bait.
Tho female fisher hauled away,
and landed the dock high and dry

Managers Mathews, Sullivan and
Oliver were not rushed with holi
ness, but were oompelled to devote
considerable time to looking np re
gistrations and properly looatlng
many oolored voters who did not
know In whatdistrlot they II red,
or barely what their .names were.
Clerks Wheatley, FiUgerald and
Maynard found plenty of time be
tween the writing of name* to re
count old oollege remlnlssences and
discuss embryo law potato.
Early In the day there wax a con
siderable number of white votes In
the olty from the surrounding coun
ty, and most of them went straight
to the polls, dsposlted their ballots
and after transacting their other
business went home again.
The negro votes were very few.
They seemed to hardly know that
It was election day, and when they
did learn that It was, they seemed
net to care how It went.
A Recorder man saw a small
group of Ham's dusky children
standing near the corner of the
court house, and in the midst of
them was a toll blaok coon with hla
hand* full of tloketo for Little and
Littleton, and he was making them
a lecture after this fashion
‘■You niggers ain’t no ’count.
Heali yon Is now de half ob you
ain’t reg’ater’d. You say you dun-
no’iMtlon am cornin' so soon. Wo
una mightergone jrouu’- cboryday
an’ tole you to fix fur de ’leotion
an’ you 'ud still say you dunno
nutbln’ 'toll 'bout hit."
He told them unless they gave
more attention to fclltlei and look
ed more after the Interest of their
candidates that they would soon
find themselvoB In such a condition
that they could never hope to elMt
anybody.
When he finished the crowd broke
np, and some went one way and
some another, all of them doubtless
feeling like one old gray-halred
plantotlouer, who grinned* great
broad grli^of eatiifaotlon as he ex
claimed;
"What yer sped I gulnor fool
boot dee 'lections fur long ex I'se
got plenty o’ oo’n in 'do orib, an’
meal In de kitchen. I goes er pos
sum huntln whin I wants any fun.”
So far as could bo learned tne ne
groes took but little Interest In any
part of the county and In every dis
trict It was the same way.
The total vote oast In the city waa
745.
The nominees for the legislature
from Sumter, A. S. Cults and J. A.
McDonald received each 651.
Tbe negro oahdldatea, Little and
Littleton, reoelved each 88.
Thera were 258 votes for ratifica
tion. The shortage le explained by
the fact that one half of the tlcklta
had nothing printed on them about
ratification.
The State boose ticket straight
with R. T. Nesbitt for Agricultural
Commissioner and Robb Patton for
Senator from the 13th District, re
ceived each 040 vote*.
Of course the result Is just what
was expected and jnit what the
Democratic party desired. The
Democracy of Snmter la Mild.

tan rant kept by a negro woman
named Emma Wood on lower Cot
ton Avenue, and stole from the
houM about $26,
There waa no olue as to who did
the stealtag,bnt yesterday afternoon
Officer BUI Feagln struck the trail
of the mlasing money and with no
other aid than a ahos heel track In
the ground, succeeded In locating
a negro named Bedford Gibson,
whom he immediately arrested.
When the negro found he was in the
clntohes of the law, he oonfesaed
that ho knew something of the
stolen money and said that another
negro named Malard Thompson
had a $20 blU pined up In the lining
of bla coat.
Officer Feagln, aocompanled by
Officer Bay, then proceeded to ar
rest Thompson,and niton searching
him found tbe money as described
by the other negro. Tbe negroes
then said that tbe remainder of the
money was across the creek Did
under an old well shed.
The officers w At over and secur
ed the money, which consisted of a
few dollars In silver wrapped np in
a rag.
Later thq officers succeeded In re-
covering several artlole* whloh had
been stolen. Among them was a'
drummer’s valise bearing the name
of J. A. Lambert, who represented
a belting houM In Atlanta. Among
the e0Mto of the vallM waa an un
limited tioket over the E. T. V. A
G. railroad.
It waa a difficult piece of work,
and would have been noxt to Im
possible to work up had not officer
Feagln thrown Into It tho fullness
ofhlsrloh experience and shrewd
judgmont, and In the work he
ably satiated by Officer Ray, who
waa on duty for his first day. The
thieves promised todevelopsomo of
