THE LEDGER: GAFFNEY, S. C., OCTOBER 2S, 1897. GOSSIP Fill GOTIIAH Contest Over the Mayoralty Ic Drawing to a Close. WAGERS STILL FAVOR VAN WYOE on th^ Tmnnjany Candidato Agulr.r.l tlie Field Quoted at Hrttliig Hcadqti^rt- er« hm Three to One — Maim to K«|rutar> i ily Virtually Abandoned bjr the ger« of George'* Campaign. New York, Oct. 2G.—With onlr five days reniiduiug iu which to complete 1 the work of the municipal campaign the situation in Greater New York con tinues to afford lar^e opportunities foi conjecture. So far as the betting is in dicative of results, Tammany appears to have the Lest of it, although there is a lot of Republican money up at odut that would prove alluring to those who have cash to back up their predictions that Van Wyck will be chosen the first mayor of the great municipality. The odds on Van Wyck against the field are quoted at betting headquarters as a to 1, but at the rooms of the Republican campaign committee it is said those wn-> desire to bet against General Tracy cun be accompanied with even money to any extent they desire. That the strength of the OittEsns' union ticket is not held in contempt, is shown iu the space which is given iu the journals advocating one or the other of the regular fiolitical parties. Columns, and even pages, are devoted to assaults upon Mr. Low’s record as a public offi cial, and as the head of Columbia uni versity. While the Jeffersonian Democracy’s strength, within ceitiin limitations, is conceded on all sides, it is only among the most enthusiastic adherents oi Henry George that the claim is made that he will be elected. The real im portance oi ins candidacy lies iu tue source from which ms votes will be drawn. The Georgeite campaign man agers have virtually abandoned the claim to regularity iu the following sen tences: •‘Tammany Hal) claims to be the reg ular Democratic organization «f this city and county. We dispute that chum. Although they have possession of the title, winch is nine points of the law. they have not as yet received one word of approval from Senator Jones or Wil liam J. Bryan who are the leaders of the national Democratic party today, and we don’t think they will get it.” Whoever snail be the victor iu the mayoralty contest will win by a plural ity vote only. The total vote may be fi!l5,000. The secretary of the Citizens' union asserts that Low will win with 11)0,000, Van Wyck receiving 135,000 and Tracy and George 100,000 e«eh. The Republican claim is felO.OOO tor Tracy, 145,000 for Van Wyck, 1)0,000 for George and 00,000 for Low. In a recent article Bishop Henry 0. Potter pointed out the imperative ne cessity of every citizen registering. He deprecated in the same article the laxity of citizens iu tins respect, and moralized to a great extent on the subject. An examination of the list showed that Bishop Potter failed to register this year. He declined to say anything about his failure to euroll as a voter. LUETGEKT’S WIFE LIVING? A SENSATION IN NEWBERN.

IXntiugulrttiMd Doctor Tnlk* of the Yellow Fever (Jure Dino<»Vs>ry. New York, Oct. 26. —A dispatch to The Herald from Bueuotf Ayres says: Dr. Sanarelli, who has been iu Uruguay for many months studying the yellow fever problem, aud who recently an nounced the discovery of a curative antltoxiue for the fever, has been inter viewed as to his work by The Herald correspondent in Montevideo. In the first place, Dr. Sarauelli states that American physicians are com pletely mistaken as to his discovery’s uses. It is not a serum to be used for inoculation to prevent yellow fever, but a serum winch he believes will cure it. Dr. Sanarelli said that he had inocu lated many dogs, horses and other ani mals with a serum which was intended to give them a mild form of fever and immune them. Tnis method he found to be slow, difficult and varying iu its results, according to the class of animal on which the experiments were made. In order to immunize a horse he found inoculaiiorj would have to bo made at intervals covering 14 months. Then 8anarelli turned his attention to experiments which resulted in the discovery of a curative serum. He first inocnlated certain animals in order to give them yellow fever, then tried his curative serum with most satisfactory results. Several of the animals were almost dead with the genuine yellow fever when the curative serum was in jected. In each case they recovered. He believes that the same results would follow the same treatment of a person who suffered from yellow fever, although as yet he has been unable to make a practical test on a man. Ho will soon leave Montevideo for Rio Ja neiro, where he will continue his ex periments. NO OUTSIDE AID NEEDED, i ■t**sm*«tlng Ht lloutaomary Halt** 1-0*2* Sam la a Raw Mlnut**.
