THE ELECTION.

a The pleottofa im over, and the
nee of the people said to have
en heard. For our part we
pcquiesce with bad grace in the
result, for as an American citi
sen having the tirue interests of
his country at heart, ve are
loath to believe that the majori
ty di American voters have by
their ballots , reseated Roosevelt
via the Presidential chair. If it
is any consolation to the Presi
ilenVwe may Bay that a corrupt
tt*e*>f inoney amoug the baser
djiVit voters (we will not dig
. nify them by the honorable title
pf citizen) has elevated him over
the head of a better man. We
Oannot find words strong enough
to express reprelieusion for the
?pparently honest opiuion
pi pressed by the party managers
In their extravagant claims of Jin
Sverwhelmning Democratic vic
>ry when the actual result was
such a pitiable farce.
New York, Indiana, West
Virginia, in fact every State that
We claimed as doubtful has gone
fee publican, with worse to follow
perhaps ttiat we will even lose
the House of Representatives.
In our next issue, wo will give
our readers full reports of the
election, but at present we ac
tually have not the heart for it.
Sam and Jake.
The Negro character lias been
described by a number of those
who have made it a study, as com -
plex and contradictory. At
times the pathetic elemeul pre
dominates. At others, the bel
licose. Again, the humorous.
It has been noted also that they
can display constaucy of affec
tion towards those who, either
by reason of intimate association
)iaVe gained their regard, or be
cause of favors received. At all
times, however, it has been
fonnd that their character is
tinged with religious fervor, es
pecially at camp-meetings and
Revivals. Possessing to a mark
<ed degree the someiime virtue
Of standing together, "shoulder
to shoulder,*' the uegro. as
a whole, may be considered a
paradox.
We have in our two characters
"Bam and Jake," endeavored to
give our readers in a semi-hom
orons way, some of the most
pleasing features of negro
character, at the same time not
disguising the fact that it pos
sesses its darker side also, not
blily as to color", but to cliaract
So much as a prelude to the
last meeting of "Sam and Jake"
on the occasion of the exhibition
given here by the Gentry Shows
on Nov. 3rd,
Jake, not knowing positively
whether Sam would bo over or
not, and being wise in his day
and generation went to our great
moral institution before it closed
up after everyone had bought
enough out of it to keep them
?Bwizzltd a month, and primed
himself with enough of the- rale
stuff to keep him going a week
if he could keep gotiuf. "Cruin,"
being his favorite, lie purchas
ed his quantum of that article.
Just before reaching the show
'grounds, he struck up with Sam,
and the very nirwas resplendent
With the glbry of his countenance '
In the realization of the fact that |
be could pass the remainder of j
jthe day in the company of a con
genial spirit' one who 13 always
ready and willing to assist him
In the enjoyable process of put
ting away as mu'ch of the other
jkind of spirits as both, or either
pf ihettl could say grace over.
After safely passing Jakes ol'
'oman, an' dat onery boy ob
his'n, together with Malialey,
Barn's wife into the show, our
two worthies stepped behind a
tent and took another rise out of
Jake's bottle. They t hey wend
?d their way in, and were soon
in the full enjoyment of t lie per
formance given by the best ani
mal showmen on the road. Jt
Vas noted by a number of those
Who had seats near them, that
f?t certain periods during the
berformance, both Sam and Jake
displayed considerable emotion
of a lachrymose character with
out apparent cause.
This exhibition of deep feeling
was not alone displayed by our
two coons, but was manifest at
different points along the line
Of seats occupied by tho vast
polored audience present.
At the close of the performan
K, Sam and Jake walked out of
e tent* both wiping their eyes.
At is they had cleared the
grouuds, Sum turned to Jake,
and remarked; ? 4 Jake, I always
is know dat yu frus or- fool, but
l.did tink datyu bub better sence
dun ter cry ' to dat crowd."
"Fool yuse'f. Yu cry same
as ute do. Wha' fer yu do una?**
''Jake, I tells yer, dat
dociuh monkey dey liab in dat
show 'mind me so much ob my
po' ol* fuder dat I cudn'd he'p
cry, but dat didn't mek no rea
son w'y yu ac' lak er baby/*
"Now, niggah, dat same mon-?
key doctah cause wid me de
same 'sturbance wha' yu liab.
Ho v.*us jes lak my bruddet\
Pote, wha' die las' year, an' 1
jes hub ter cry fer tiuk ob um."
"Dat 'splanation atn satifact
ery Jake. I notis de fambly
'semblance myself, but, fer dat
matter'allob us look kinder 'like.
Lc*sgit 'hind dis tree an' lick
ol' Crum ergin au* go home.

"Whither CJocst Thou."
This is a common question
these days from one buyer to
another.
Jones, replying to it, says,
? "Why to Nathan j^evy's of
course, to buy the cheapest ?10.
suit iu the market- for the money,
and you?"
Smith. ? "Oh, 1 guess llirsch
Bros won't object, to giving me
good valine for my money in the
I shape of a couple of good suits
of underwear, and you White?"
White. ? "David Wolfe has the
goods lor my money, and I a in
j going to strike him for a good
dress pattern for the old lady
and a pair of pants for myselt.
What about you, Drown?"
Brown. ? "I want to touch my
namesake at The Hub for a hat
and an overcoat. The ad. of the
firm in The People sounds to
suit me, and I always trade with
the Brown family when I can.
Where are you for, Black?"
Black. ? "Well, The People
cracks r.p Schenk Co's., bug
gies so high that I think one of
them will jnst about suit ine and
my wife to go to meeting in. I'll
make a dash for one anyway.
What's your hurry, Green?"
Green. ? "Who, me? Well, I
tell you, I'm tired of sleeping on
the soft side of a board, and if
I've got money enough, I pro
pose to know to-night how a
"Victor" spring bed feels with
a good matt lass on it. I see by
The People that Mr. Geiseu
heiiner has them. What's the
matter, Grey, sick?"
Grey.? "Yes, and I ain going
up to Dr. F. Leslie Zemp's and
see what he has in the medicine
line. My daughter wants some
of those riyncinth bulbs, too and
my son, ;i pound of that Lowney
candy for his girl. Come on,
Cherry.
Cherry. ? ?? Alright. I have a
couple of dolkirs, and am going
up to The Gilt lOdge -for a pair
of shoes and a cornet for my wife.
I want. ai sliv a t that $5.00 nexl
Saturday. What arc you after
to-day, Roddy?"
iieddy. ? "1 want a Hay Rake
and Press, and according to The
People, Mr. A. D. Kennedy has
the best. T want some hardware
too, and that is as good a place
as any to buy it. I'll see all you
fellows again."
Hollo Hill.
Arthur L?. Cogliser, who is
playing the role of the luckless
William Fuller in ??Hello Bill"
this season has been playing the
part of the stern and uncom
promising C Jeneral in Mr. Good
hue's f i laous farcical comedy tin*
past 1 ;v?? years and when Mana
ger I). K. Harnett acquired the
rights of the play this season,
h<? immediately engaged Mr.
Cogliser to play Hill fooling
sure t hat. wit h his great knowl
edge of the play and his ability
as an actor, he could handle the
character better thau any man
i n the country. Mr Harnett's
faith has been more than justifi
ed as every paper where the
plav has been seen t his year has
united in declaring Mr. Coglis
cr's impersonation to be better
than any of his predecesseors,
on account of the finely legiti
mate manner in which he hand
les the character. "Hello Hill"
wi'h Mr. Cogliser will be seen
at t he Camden Opera House next
Tuesday, November lath.

Am Apology.
We want to apologize to Mr.
David Wolfs for not making the
changes in his ad. that he request
ed. The Carnival, Election and
press of new advertising caused !
oof typos to overlook t?e matter.
Pending the change, next week,
Mr. Wolfe wants to advertise
somewhat as a special feature,
an $8.00 Man's suit, his other
departments being full and com
plete.
Absence of Tlelceta.
The absence of tickets for vo
ting on the various constitution
al amendments at the various
precincts in the county was a se- j
rious oversight on the part of
those in charge of the job of dis
tributing them. Fortunately,
wte heard of it before voting, and
wrote our tickets on the Brice
bill and Biennial session amend
ments. We trust that the mat
ter will not cause complications.
Watermelon*.
Our friend, Mr. A. B. Young,
of DeKalb, brought us? a couple
of fine watermelons on Tuesday,
of the "Kalb Gem" variety.
They were much appreciated and
enjoyed.
