The County Election.
The retares from this county are far
less full and complete than usual on
the d ay after the election, but sufficient
vote has been reported to give a fairly
good forecast of what the result will
be in Sumter county. The incomplete
returns are due to two causes?the
telephone lines are down in some sec
tions of '?he county and communica
tion was interrupted so that the re
turns could not be obtained, and the
managers of several boxes neglected to
send i n returns outside of the boxes.
Seven! boxes have been sent in but
no returns accompanied them, except
the ofScial returns which are sealed
up in the boxes. From the returns
received and other reports it is clear
that lever carries the county by an
overwhelming majority over McLauch
lin for Congress, Clifton, Fraser and
Moses are elected, to the House ; Seale
is reelected Supervisor ; Wilson and
Cain will almost certainly be in the
secosd race for Superintendent of Edu
cation; Lee has been elected Treas
urer; Manning is reelected to th? Sen
ate ; Wilder Auditor, and Walsh Judge
of Probate, these three having no op
position.
Heyward, as was expected, carries
the county by a large vote.

WEEKLY CROP BULLETIN.
Columbia, S. C., August 26.?The
temperature was abnormally higir dur
ing the first, and decidedly cooi during
the . second half of the week ending
Monday, August 25, with an average
of 78 degrees, a maximum of 101 de
grees at Anderson on the 20th, Black
ville and Longshore on the 21st, and a
minimum of 59 degrees at Cheraw and
Spartanburg on the 18th. Damaging
hail occurred in Anderson, Greenville
and Newberry counties, accompanied
- > destructive high -winds, but the
injury to crops was confined to limit
ed areas. There was more than a nor
mal amount of sunshine during the
first of the week, followed successive
ly by much cloudiness and then clear
weather.
Quite general rains fell on the 17th,
loo late to be reported for last week's
bulletin, ' and scattered showers occur
:red on the 20th, 21st* 22d and 23d, the
latter nearly general over the greater
portion of the State. Some points
continue to stand in need of rain, but
generally the ground has sufficient
moisture for the present need of crops.
In places the rain interfered with
current farmwork, but on the whole it
was beneficial to growing crops.
Late corn conti anes to m^ke good
progress, and with limited exceptions
promises fair yi?ids. Bottom land
corn is very fine.
Cotton failed to share fully in the
general improvement of growing crops,
due largely to the spread of rust that
stopped further growth, and caused
shedding and premature opening,, al
though on clayey soils there is a new
growth that continues to bloom and
fruit.- The outlook for a large top crop
is not promising, Except on low spots j
where there bas been plenty of mois- j
ture throughout the season. On sandy
uplands the plants have put on all the j
fruit they will dc, and are now dying.
Cotton is opening rapidly over the
whole State.
Some 'correspondents report nearly
half the bolls open. Picking is active
ly ander way in all sections, but show
ers and extreme heat interfere at times
with this work. In places open cot
ton was damaged by the heavy rains j
and high winds. The crop ranges
from poor to very good ; and this di
versity in condition exists in all por
tions of the State, and even in the
same-townships. The season as a whole
is earlier than the average.
Peas, sweet potatoes and corn im
proved. Rice is ripening, and harvest J
bas begun in a small way. i
rae H?S ? BIO LEAD.
Two-Thirds Vote ?f State Reported
and Jim TillmaiiIs Botin It.
Latimer Leads in Senatorial Race.
The Columbia State this morning
says:
At 4 o'clock this -morning a total
vote of 53,823 in the senatorial race
and 53,657 in the race for governor.
The votes in all the other races have
been tabulated but it was impossible
this morning to get at the totals for
the respective candidates, all energies
being put to the wheel to give the
figures by counties in the two major
races.
In the race for governor Hey ward is
far away in the lead, and there does
not seem to be much prospect that Jim
Tillman will squeeze into second race.
The fiugres are as follows: Ansel
9,596, Hey ward 21,851, Talbert 9,633,
Tillman 9,096, Timmerman 3,491. Tal
bert is second man so far, with Ansel
a close third. For the senate Lati
mer leads out in one of the closest
races ever known in the State with
I2,?59 votes, while John Gary Evans
and Johnstone are almost a tie for
second place, Evans leading by a little
less than 300 votes. Further returns
will greatly affect "this race.
It is impossible to say exactly r how
the other races stand, though Gunter
seems certainly nominated for attorney
general. The election was not char
acterized by disorder at any point in
the State so far as known.
In the congressional races the votes
reported are as follows :

Reliable Cotton Statistics.
The United States Department of ,
Agriculture "has decided to make a
complete change in the method of
collecting statistics of the cotton crop
and the plan adopted is so great an
improvement upon the agencies here
tofore depended on for securing cotton
crop reports that the cotton reports of
this year cannot fail tobe far more
accurate and reliable tnan any issued
in former years,
The statistics will be compiled en
tirely from ginners reports and in this
way there is no possibility of cotton
being twice counted. The collection
of the ginners' reports has been placed
in the hands of one man in each
county who will gather the statistics
from the ginners direct either by visit
ing the gins or by obtaining regular
reports by mail from the ginners. The
department will issue three reports
summarizing the reports sent" in from
each county in the cotton belt, which
will show the exact number of bales
ginned up to tfie date of the report.
The first report will be- issued Octo
ber 18, the second December 18 and
the third February 18, and when the
third report has been issued the exact
size of the crop will be known and
the cotton experts who have made esti
mates that aided the speculators to
manipulate the market will be put out
of business. To make the reports
complete and accurate the ginners will
have to do their part by furnishing
the reports asked for and they will
probably do so cheerfully for by so
doing they will do more to enable the
cotton growers to obtain a fair price
for their crop and prevent the manipu
lation of the market by speculators
than it is possible for any other men
engaged in handing cotton to do.
Mr. S. Yeadon Delgar has been re
quested by the department to collect
the ginners' report for this county and
he has consented to undertake the
werk. He will spare no effort to make
the reverts full and accurate and will
either call on or communicate with
every ginner in the county within the
next few weeks for the purpose of
securing their, co-operation and active
assistance.
Successful Tobacco Planter.
Mr. J. D. Evans, of Spring Hill,
who has been planting tobacco for
several years, succeeded this season in
. rowing a remarkbly fine crop. The
yield per acre was large and the qual
ity superior. For some of his crop
he has been offered 50 cents a pound
and every pound in his barns is high
grade leaf.
A gentleman who visited Spring
Hill a few days ago, from whom the
information concerning Mr. Evans' to
bacco crop was obtained, stated also
that Mr. Evans has the finest cotton
in that neighborhood.
Postmaster Shore has been notified
by the Postoffice Department that this
office is entitled to an additional clerk
and authorizing him to employ one.
Mr. B. R. Sanders, who was given
a temporary position when Mr. Shore
took charge of the office, has been
given a permanent position in conse
quence of the order of the Department
increasing the clerical force of the
office.
THE WEATHER AND CROPS.
The Agricultural Weekly Summary
of Conditions.
Washington, Aug. 26.?The agricul
tural department's weekly summary of
crop conditions says:
As a whole, the weather conditions
east of the Rocky mountains have not
been favorable, being* to cool in the
northern districts eas tward of the Mis
souri valley with too much moisture in
portions of the central valleys, while
excessively hot in the souther.a States,
with drought of greater or Jess severe
ity generally throughout the cotton
belt.
Corn is greatly in need of warm, dry
weather throughout the northern por
tion of the corn belt, where the abnor
mally cool weather or th?> past two
weeks has greatly ,retardea tire matur
ity. Over the southern portion of the
corn belt an excellent crop o? oarly
corn is now practically assured.
A decided deterioration in the condi
tion of cotton is reported generally
throughout the central and western,
portions of the cotton belt as well as
over a large part of the eastern dis
tricts. The most favorable reports are
from the Carolinas. In North Caro
lina the condition of the crop con
tinues very promising, although the
prevalence of rust is widespread. On
stiff soils in South Carolina new
growth is blooming and fruiting but
on sandy soils rust shedding and pre
mature opening being general. In
Texas the deterioration lias been pro
nounced, and under most favorable
weather conditions a yield in excess of
the average is impossible.
The week has been very favorable
for cutting tobacco and the croy has
generally improved, although it will
be short in Kentucky and portions of
Tennessee, Virginia and Maryland.
The friends of Heyward shonld get
to work at once to bring out a larger
vote for him in the second primary
than he received here yesterday. The
Heyward vote is here and can be
brought out by a little work.
- A SENSATION IN WEDGEFIELD. .
One Jim Tillmai?te in the Community
Matters of Interests.
Wedgefield, Aug. 26.?The primary
passed of quietly today, as was expect
ed. D. C. Heyward received nearly
all the votes cast, fifty out of 54. The
unexpected though, happened when it
was found out Jim Tillman had receiv
ed one vote. He is not known and I
hope he will keep quiet for it will ?e
best for him. I do think though, it
would be well for a community to know
that it had such a resident in its bor
ders so he could be kept under a close
watch. Can it be possible that a man
who calls himself a representative cit
izen would vote for a liar and thief for
governor of his State. I hope some
one just made a mistake thinking he
had left Talbert's name.
The cotton crop is being harvested
earlier than in years. A good part of
the crop will be gathered in the next
few weeks.
Rev. Arch E. Cree, of Gaffney, as
sisted Rev. Louis J. Bristow in con
ducting a protracted meeting at the
Baptist Church last week. Bro. Cree
is a deep thinker and forceful speaker
and by his plain presentation of the
gospel truths added seven converts to
the church roll.
Miss Annie Wells, of Privateer, is
visiting at Mr. R. H. Ramsey's.
The depot here has been moved back
at last and the danger in getting on
and off the cars near the platform is
removed.
Messrs. J. H. Aycock & Sons had
five hundred hands picking cotton on
the several farms today. What a pic
ture if they had all been in one field.
Prof. David Dwight commandant
of the P. . A., spent several days
with Dr. F. M. Dwight last week.
Ice Supply and Public Health.
In Prof. Sedgwick's recently pub- ;
Ished book on sanitary science he
summarizes the relations of the ice j
supply to the public health somewhat
as follows: While it is true that some
bacteria survive exposure to freezing
temperatures, such conditions, espe
cially if prolonged are highly unfavor
able to bacterial life. Water tends to
purify itself by freezing, but the puri
fication is usually incomplete. A few
bacteria may survive even after long
exposure to low temperature. Hence
too much reliance must not be placed
on the purification of water by freez
ing, especially if the ice is artificially
made. The practical lesson is not to
mix ice with food or to put ih drinks.
A temperature of between 50 and (30
degrees Fahrenheit is sufficiently low
to be refreshing, and to obtain this
degree of cooling it is sufficient to
place vessels containing the food,
etc., in ordinary cold storage.
The Requisition Honored.
Boston, Aug. 26.?Gov. Crane today
honored the requisition for Julian Fos
ter, the colored man wanted by the
South Carolina authorities for the
murder of Lewis White, another color

THE SEABOARD AIR LINE.
Reported to be Negotiating With
the Detroit Southern.
Detroit, Mich., Aug. 26.?The Tri
bune will say : Frederick J. Lisman of
New York, vice president of the De
troit Southern Railway and one of the
heaviest stockholders, arrived in De
troit today from Ironton, where he at
tended the meeting at which the Iron
Railway was turned over of the De
troit Southern.
Mr. Lisman confirmed the report that
the Detroit Southern and the Sea
board Air Line are negotiating a
traffic agreement. He said the new
route thus f?rmed" will shorten by 100
miles existing routes between the coal
fields and the manufacturing districts
of the south and will give the Detroit
Southern easy access to the Seaboard
Air Line's terminals on the coast.
Rumors were current today of this
agreement, but Detroit brokers were
unable to get any confirmation from
Wall street.
"This agreement will give the De
troit Southern direct connection
through the Pocahontas coal fields
with Virginia, North Carolina and
'Tennessee and enable vessels to coal
.south of Cape Hatteras, a matter which
is considered of great moment.in.mari
time circles," said Mr. Lisman.
"From Ironton, the Detroit South
ern will; through the South and Wes
tern, owned by parties interested in
the Detroit Southern and Seaboard Air
Line, build a line through the Big
Sandy valley and Wise County, Va., to
Lincolnton, . C, where it will join
the Seaboard Air Line."
TO 60 100 MILES AN HOUR.
Train Being Built to Revolutionize
Railway Transportation.
From the New York Times.
Lynn, Mass., August 22.?Machin
ery for a train that may revolutionize
the railway transportation of the
world is being built at the General
Electric Woks here. It is soon to be
tried in Illinois, where the track is
almost completed. The engineers es
timate that the train will make 90 to
100 miles an hour. If successful, the
experiment means eventually a trip
from Boston to New York in about
two hours. The average time at
present is about six. Chicago would
be reached from New in ten hours.
The scheme has received the approval
of the ablest electricians and railroad
men. in the country.
The line is about 150 miles long,
and is remarkable for solidity and
strength. As far as pos&ible grades
have been eliminated. Electricity will
be the motive power and the third rail
system will be used.
A train of three cars has been built
for the first trials. The train will be
equipped with twelve motors of 1^0
horse power each. Instead of the high
speed increasing the danger, it is
claimed that the train will be safer
and run less risk of leaving the rails
that an ordinary street car.
The theory held by Prof. Thompson
and other eminent electricians is that
the? train is practically electrically
welded to the track and cannot leave
it while the power is on. The success
ful operation of this line will probably
be followed by the building of similar
lines between all the great cities on
the contingent.
TYPHOID IN WASHINGTON.
There Are Now 305 Cases and the
Disease is Increasing.
Washington, Aug. 26.?Cases of
typhoid fever in Washington have re
cently multiplied so rapidly that the
local authorties have become alarmed

appointed by the commissioners of the
district to investigate the cause or
causes of the epidemic.
There are now 305 cases of typhoid
in Washington, and the disease is
on the increase.

FBISHTFUL AUTO ACCIDENT.
Automobile Runs off a Bridge, the
Owner is Killed, Three Guests
are Hurt, One Dying Soon
After.
Long Branch, N. J., August 26.?
Two were killed and three injured in
an automobile accident at the Park
avenue bridge, over the New York and
Long Branch Railroad tracks today.
In trying to avoid running down a
man, Frank Matthews, president of
the Realty Trust Company, of Jersey
City, lost control of his machine, and
it plunged against the railing, broke
through and dropped to the rails,
thirty-five feet below. Mr. Matthews
was instantly killed, the heavy ma
chine falling upon him. Mrs. J. H.
Cobb, of Richmond, Va., one of his
guests, died later at the Monmouth
Memorial Hospital, and Mrs. Louis
Pizzini, her sister-in-law, is believ
ed to be dying. The Rev. Father
Grant, of the Paulist Church, New
York, suffers from shock and bruises.
The chauffeur^ Rudolph Meyer, escap
ed with slight injuries, as he leaped to
the bridge just as the machine plung
ed over the side.
Mr. Matthews had been summering
at Ailenhurst. Today he called at the
Hathaway Inn and took trie two ladies
and Father Grant for a trip along the
coast. They had gone but a short dis
tance when the accident took place.
Wm. H. Havens, a gardner, was
crossing the bridge which spans the
railroad tracks, and was close to the
end from which the machine was ap
proaching. There is an up-grade and
the power of the machine, was turned
on full to reach the bridge. Havens
was directly in front of it. Mr. Mat
thews was at the lever and swerved to
avoid him, and in an instant the hea vy
machine crashed against the railing
and plunged over the bridge with four
of its occupants. The chauffeur jump
ed and escaped.
Mrs. Cobb, Mrs. Pizzini and Father
Grant fell clear of the machine. Mr.
Matthews fell under it, his death be
ing instantaneous. Mrs. Cobb and
Mrs. Pizzini were unconscious when
picked up. Father Grant was merely
stunned and dazed. The women were
hurried here on the first train and
sent to the hospital, but Mrs. Cobb
died soon afterward. Mrs. Pizzini re
gained consciousness and has a fair
chance of recovery, although it is
feared she is injured internally.
Father Grant was placed -on a car and
taken to Ailenhurst. He appeared
tonight to suffer only from shock, al
though internal injuries may develop
later, his physican says.
Lynched in North Carolina.
Raleigh, N. C, August 25.?Tom
Jones, the negro who outraged Mrs.
Will Smith, near Seven Springs, on
Friday has been lynched.
He was caught by a posse of three,
tak?n to Mrs. Smith's house and iden
tified. He confessed his crime and j
gave up a razor he had stolen from his
victim's husband. He was put in a
barn to await the arrival of the
sheriff, but ten men, disguised as
negroes, came from the woods ar.d de
manded him. Officer Walker refused
to give him up and was shot in the
neck. The men battered down the
door, put Jones on a tram car, ran it
into the woods, bound him to a log
and fired a volley of shot into him. He
was not killed at the first fire and an
other volley ended his misery. But
tons and pieces of cloth were taken as
souvenirs from his body. His victim
will live, but is horribly disfigured.

Statesburg vs. Suinter.
Tomorrow at five o'clcock, the State
burg base ball team will cross bats
with Sumter. It is said tbat this team
is rather strong and so we all expect
a fine game.
The Sumter team has been on the
diamond but three times this year,
the first time they defeated the Cam
den boys to the tune of 13 to 3. Then
Sumter again crossed bats, but this
time they were defeated by the strong
0. G. R., team of Columbia, and now
again have decided to try their luck
and show that there is ball material in
Sumter. There will probably be an
other game here with Summerton,
some time soon if possible. The small
sum of 15 cents will be charged to pay
expenses. The line up is as follows :
