With a Rally-A Rumored Importa
Their : Ian of Operation at the Polls
The Federal Supervisors Appointed
by Judge Speer Refuse to Serve
Where to Get the Returns Tonight.
The issue is joined between the two great
political parties, the testimo. y and argu
pie will to-day return its verdict, which
will shape the destiny of the country for
four years more.
Ali of the preliminaries have been ar
ranged for the election here. A railing was
put up at the court house yesterday to in
close the managers stand where the four
boxes are to be located. The following are
the arrangements for the different boxes:
Superintendent, Thomas A. Folliard.

THE SUPERVISORS WILL NOT SERVE.
There will be no federal supervisors.
Judge Emory Speer failed to appoint the
supervisors list recommended by Chief Su-
pervisor Beckett, and appointed the follow
ing eight supervisors:
Box /, Messrs A. H. Mcdonnell, John
Riley, a. N. Wilson, Emile Newman,
David Porter, Luke Carson, Francis |.
Mccall and Albert jackson, the latter col
ored. None of the supervisors, however,
will serve.
1t was reported yesterday that the repub-
licans were coloniZing between 300 and 800
South Carolina negroes for the purpose of
voting them to-day for Snelson. This kind
of work was done number of years ago,
the ready access by small boats from one
side of the river TO the other making it
quite easily effected. A careful investiga-
ton, however, proved that the rumor is not
correct, although last night one of the
special deputies said that there were some
thirty or forty strange colored men who
had come into the city from the South
Carolina side.
During the entire day the county tax re-
ceiveris office and the court house corridor
were filed with colored voters paying their
taxes. There is apparently a great deal
more interest than usual among them in the
election, and they waited very patiently
and quietly for their turns to come to get
to the desk. 1t was estimated that some 200
qualified themselves to vote. Heretofore
the colored vote has been increased Just
before elections by their taxes being paid
by the candidates for Office but this time it
seems that the negroes are paying their own
money.
Floyd Snelson, the republican candidate,
is a well-known colored man, and has the
advantage of being from the country.
REPUBLICANS HARD AT WORK
The republican vote in this district, and
especially in this county, promises to be
larger than usual, and it will be we'll for
every democrat to see that he votes. 1t
will not do for the election to be lost, or
even for Mr.. Lester to run behind in his
own county. owing to the apathy of his fell
low citizens.
Four large tally sheets have been pro-
vided for recording the vote Mr. Testers
name comes first. followed by the repub-
lican electoral ticket, the democratic, the
prohibition and the labor ticket. The sheet
of the consolidated returns does rot contain
the labor ticket, which is in the form of an
addenda, and on q separate sheet.
One of the curious and original features
of the day will be the code of coast signal
service flags that will float from the western
gable of the court house tn the tall
xln. A.-sa lssrl.r -
They will be in place by daylight this morn
ing. ana will convey world of meaning to
mariners who want to see the old ship of
state plloted into peaceful harbor. The |
banners represent answers adapted from |
the Coast Signal Service Code, and CORES |
pond with the letters of the flags used. The
idea is an original one with Capt VIM. d. !
Oliveira. who has alone borne the expeDse of
the display, contributing 1t as his mite to the
cause of the democratic national and con-
gressional candidates.
THE COAST SERVICE FLAGS.
The flags are placed in the followir
order, beginning at the west end of the
court house, and their significance is thus
explained:

water.
