Wlndaor Hotel.
Not in years has a state and county
election created as little interest, lo
colly, as that of yesterday. As evf
dence of Ithis, of the three thousand
voters registered In the oonnty proba
bly not more than 500 took the time or
trouble to go to the polls and vote.
This, however, was due to the faot
that there was no opposition here to
the regnlor tioket.
In the country the farmers were very
busy, it being the first fair day of the
week in which they oonld work, and
the vote at the precinots was as light
in proportion as that here.
Interest here, aa elsewhere, lay in
the contest between Judge John S
Candler and Judge John Boss for the
snpremeconrt judgeship. Friends of
both gentlemen worked untiringly,
and while the official vote is not known
yet, Sumter is undoubtedly for Jadge
Candler.
Asusnsl in general elections, the
“eerstoher” was on hand, and not a
few names of nominees were serstohed,
either with or without oanse.
The vote at the oonrt bottle wss
unusually light, only 860 ballots being
cast here whereas ia the etste primary,
where the result wss really determined,
over 8.000 votes were polled. Begnlar
elections, therefore, arouse little In
terest as compared with that ia the
primary.
In faot, one would not have supposed
that an eleotion, especially a stpte
eleotion, was in progress.
Hon.T. G. Hudson, for state senator,
and Messrs J. A. Hixon and W. T.
Lane for representatives, reoeived
praetieally the whole vote cast, as did
Sheriff Bell, Clerk Chambliss, Tax
Oolleotor Small, Beeeiver Baiford,
Treasnrer Speer and all the oonnty
officers, ' " ■ . J . “ ‘ *' t “ ’
Bnt two Or three preoinots were
heard from last night, and the figures
in yesterday’s eleotion cannot be given
nntil the vote of the oonnty ie consoli
dated today.
AMERICUS’ PRIMARY
CLAIMSJNTEREST.
Already the Election Here
is Talked.
THOUGH YET A DISTANCE OFF,
Entry of Candidates for City Clerk
Starts Ball Rolling and Looal Polities
Will Grow Warm Ere the Time
Voting Comes.
The Vote In Sumter.
The consolidated vote of Snmter
showed a light ballot east Only in
three diatriets, outside of Americas,
was an eleotion held. ,' >
The total vote oast in the county,
for governor, was 481.
The 15tb. distriot east 88 votes, Can'
dler for snpreme court justice, reoeiv
lag 83. Boss 8.
At Plains Candler reoeived 25 votes
and Boss 0 votes.
Andersonville east the lightest vote
of all, only a doz in, about all of which
were for Candler. No other oonnty
districts held an eleotion.
%The vote in the olty was very light,
only 858, Candler'e majority here be
ing Sfljover Ross and bis majority in
the oonnty 85
The onrrent was turned on in city
politics yesterday morning in the an
nonneement of two candidates for
o!erk and treasnrer, and while eleotion
day is yet far off this breaking of the
politioal ice may be regarded as the
forms! opening of the campaign.
And those taking part therein will
need a fan rather than an oyerooat,
the temperature promises to bs any
thing than ohilly.
In faot, it may be one of the warmest
oampsigns of recent years.
The primary, as nsnal, will be held
the latter part of November or early
December, and thna the prospective
candidates will be afforded ample time
to interview the boye and patoh np the
fences. There will be a fall traok
whenever the signal is given.
There are no “iseoos" as yet, bnt
enes will develop in time.
The eleotion will be for mayor, three
members of council, and oity clerk.
Three announcements tor the latter
office have been made, those of Messrs
T. N. Hawkes, E. J. MoMath and
M. McGarrab.
The three retiring members of conn-
oil are Aldermen G. W. Glover, Lynn
Fort and J. B. Hudson; Aldermen
Sherlock, Bolton and J. B. Hudson
being the hold-over members. Whety*
er any or all of the retiring ones will
be in the raoe again is, of oonrse, not
yet known.
Bnt there is plenty of time, and at
all events Americas is promised any
thing than a doll compaign.

NOMINEE IN STEWART BEATEN.
Crumley Defeats Harrell For Leals
lature.
Much interest waa felt in Ameriens
yeaterday ia the legislative raee in
Stewart oonnty. Harrell, the nomi
nee of the democratic primary, was
opposed by J. D. Crumley, who ran
independently bat who, owMg to eome
opposition to Mr. Harrell in the party
ranks, received strong democratic
enpport. A epeeial from Lnmpkin
laat night annonneed that Oramley de

Ameriens people who are reveling
in the delights oi Indian eammer,
wearing shirtwaists and eating ice
cream and other cooling viands, take
bat a passing interest in the coal iljaa
tlon north thongh the problem is one
of great aerioasness there. Coal,
when it ean be had at all, ia bringing
fabnlous priees, selling yesterday in
northern elites at $35 per ton. This is
almost prohibitory, and the prlee can
not be paid by poor people. In .the
smaller eities plank sidewalks, bridges
ana other straotnres are being torn np
for fuel. In Chicago the stores are
selling soarf pins, the stones In them
being tiny lamps of bard eoal. For
onee the sontb is more fortunate than
the north. Down here we will not
need fires for two months yet, while
eoal and wood is abundant.
