Outside the packet business little was done
on the river yesterday. The up-river boats
were crowded and many people could not be
accommodated.
The river continues on a downward course,
and if something is not done the packet lines
will have to suspend until rain comes to the

there would be shower
Yesterday morning the upriver packet ran
aground near the locks and the assistance of a
towboat had to be called in to get it af1oat

The rivermen complain about the wickets not
being raised. There is something broken about
the machinery, which will take some time to
repair, The mark showed only 2 feet and 2

The demand for money at the banks yester-

with large settlements at hand, but there is an
abundance of money for business purposes,

the usual rate of 6 per cent.
The Clearing House report for the day and

THE RACES.
A Few Pointers for Betting.

A sporting gentleman sends the LIGHT
the following pointers, he says, for those
wanting to bet on the result of the local
election:
For Judge: The odds are much in ia
vor OF King; he has the inside track, and
has the best jockey riding, and is full OF
oats.
For District Clerk: John Walters can
find no betterS, he Is running too far
ahead.
For Collector: Cassiano is leading with
Hoefling right at his tail, and will make
him move himself.
For Assessor: Hewitt will win in a
walk. No bets taken.
For County Judge: The race is about
even and betting skittish.
For Sheriff: Two good steeds and the
race will be nip and tuck.
For District Attorney and County
Treasurer: Four good horses entered,
but no betting on this race.
For County Attorney: Bart Dewitt is
the favorite in the pools but betting is
light.
For Hide Inspector: Campbell having
long legs and plenty of wind, is thou ght
to be the fastest runner.
For County Clerk: Here we will have a
pretty race, both horses well matched.
Thad is being we'll rubbed down by his
trainers and Ben is just as lively and
frisky as a young spring colt, and will
make the old mare sick on the home
stretch.
For the Legislature: Miller and New
comb are the best stock but is is possible
by jockeying the poorest horses might
win.
For Constable; Three fairly matched
horses entered. Two horses are liable to
crowd the other offathe track.
For Justice of the Peace: A common
scrub race; Only six-bits bet for the win
nerS.
For County Commissioners; Free for
all race, and the track is full of common
stock. Dwyer, Abbott, Walton, and
Boerner appear to be in the best condi-
tion and look to be winners.

TRAVELLING TO DoDO.
A North Carolina Bride and Groom

A North Carolina Bride and Groom
no Their Bridal Tour.
"Gimme couple o. tickets to Dodo," was
the demand which tall, sallow young man
made of Ticket Agent Brewer at the Gen.
trail railroad depot yesterday morning.
"WhereF queried Mr.. Brewer
ITO Dodo." responded the would-be
traveller.
"But where is DodoT' inquired the agent.
''Somewhere in this hyar country"
answered the tar-heel, for he was a North
Carolinian.
'You'un is the ticket agent. and you'un
ought to know better than we'uns."
There ien't any such station on this
road, and / never heard of any place by
that name. Perhaps you are mistaken in
the PIE place" <,,
I've come all the way from North Caroliny
to bring my wife to see 'em. It's some
where in Georgia, 1 know"
well Dodo is not on this road, know"
said MIR. Brewer.
"Well, can't we get on this hyar train"
said the man, referring TO the Americas

The agent advised the unsophisticated
youth against such reckless travelling. His
OF the couple ana their determination to
seek the unknown Dodo, Mr.. Brewer gave
them close scrutiny. The man was a
dark-haired, sallow-faced six-footer, and
his wife looked like little 16-year-old girl
Their clothes were evidently not tailor
made. The mans coat hung loosely
on his back and his pantaloons struck
him about three inches above pair of No.
III shoes. The young woman had on a
short white dress which did not reach her
shoe-tops, and had several yards of red rib
bon around her neck and waist. She was
as shy as partridge They were on their
bridal tour to visit some of the groom's rel
atives at Dodo. Ga. They started from
North Carolina several days ago, and came
through Charleston and on to Savannah.
The groom wanted to take the next train
out, as he felt sure Dodo was somewhere in
this direction. He said they came in Mon
day night. stopped at the Marshall house,
and came right on down to the depot aft er
breakfast He didn't know what railroad
Dodo was on, nor what county it was in,
nor what large town it was near, all of
which queries were put to him, but he had
some folks at Dodo and had started out to
go there.
Agent Brewer told the couple that if they
would wait at the depot until he came back
after dinner he would look up Dodo when
he got to the uptown Office. They ex-
pressed their intention of camping right
there until the train started for Dodo.
According to his promise, Mr.. Brewer
looked Dodo up. 1t was not down on the
railroad map, but reference to the postal
guide showed it to be a crossroads post
Office in Laurens county, near the small
station of Condor, on the Wrightsville and
Tennille railroad. He gave the couple this
Information. and told them he could
sell them ticket to Tennille, and they
could leave by the $40 o'clock train at
night. Happy to find that the road ran in
the direction of Dodo, the couple expressed
their intention Of making the waiting room
their headquarters until the train left.
