ana Buckner carried a single pre
cjnct, but then Mckinley did no
need their help.
The colorea folks ale jubilant over
the election, and already we have
heard a number of them getting
ready to apply for the post Office al
this place.
The latest despatch to-day says
the electoral vote stands, Mckinley
25S; Bryan 163 and 26 doubtful. As
224 votes is necessary to elect, Nc
kinley is elected without doubt.
Read the Schwartz Brothers new
advertisement. They are offering
goods at astounding prices. This is
one of the most complete dry goods
establishments in the State, and
Sumter can we'll feel proud OF such
an establishment.
Everybody in Clarendon knows the
firm OF Ryttenberg & Sons, of Sum
ter, but they are believers in keeping
themselves in touch with the people
from whom they get their support.
Read their attractive advertisement
and when you 60 to Sumter be sure
to give them call.
a number of persons went to the
telegraph Office last night to hear the
returns as they passed over the wires.
The returns came in thick and fast
and showed q complete victory for
Mckinley. States which have here
tofore gone Democratic gave the Re-
publican candidate a large majority,
proving conclusively that the Amerl-
can voters do not want free silver

The few who voted for Palmer and
Backner here are inconsistent, be-
cause they refused to vote for Bryan
on account of his platform, and yet
they voted for McLaurin, who is run
ming on the same platform aud who
has vote to cast for a free coinage
bill, while Bryan, had lie been elect
ed, would not have had vote. They
claimed to have voted for principle,
but in our Judgment it was a one
eyed principle.
Last Saturday night on the court
house square, motley crew gathered
to hear political speech from Rev.
J. E. Hart. of Columbia. He came
and was introduced by Lee David
"thc lost sheep OF the Lily-wbites, :"
and who is the successor to the de-
serted craftsmanship by R. A. Stewart
going over to the "Black and Tans.
David made a few introductory re-
marks and then introduced, "De
Reberand, Honorable, Doctor, Mr.
Hart" who was received with cheers
aud a 'Dere Now!" as the sleek,
ebony-face of the political Divine
with much dignity and pomposity
rose to address his citizens.
The crowd was good natured aud
gave the speaker u whole lot of ap-
plause.
We are glad to learn that Colonel
Brailsford with his magnihciently
equipped cavalry will 60 to Columbia
to attend the State fair. These COM
p%nies are to go over in regular
campaign style; through the country
and camping out who're night over
takes them. They will have a nice
time and We know that when the
crowds of visitors at the fair get a
glimpse of Clarendons cavalry, cheers
of approval Will rent the air. The
Manning Guards are also to go over,
bat they will so by rail. Clarendon
will, without Il doubt, have the best
attraction of any county in the State
and we hope large crowd from this
county will be there to greet our
military on military day, which is
next Wednesday. The fair opens
next Tuesday and the railroads have
made cheap rates
A house breaking and robbery was
committed last Friday night at the
dispensary. The perpetrators Of this
deed forced an entrance will an ak,
which the stole from the yard of Mr..
F. G. Thomas, and after making The
entry they went up stairs probably
to get money, because Mr.. Erwin
makes it a practice after counting his
afternoon sales, 10 go up stairs to
bathe before going to his supper
After rummaeing all through Mn
Ervin'ss effects and scattering them
over the floor they went down stairs
and helped themselves to consider
able quantity of liquor and some
change from tho till. They carried
of some South American coin, which
was given Mr. Erwin by his brother
when he was here last summer, and
blue overcoat of light weight. The
exact amount of whiskey taken is not
known, but Mr.. Erwin thinks it will
not amount to much in value as it
was of the cheaper grade. Steps
are being taken to ferrit out the
