THE GRAND CANYON.
An Interesting New Book on This Marvel,
 GUS Wonder.

III "hH Hh'ouila tht 'l uilu Nahs
 Is the title of the best work on the in- exhaustible subject of the Grand Can yon of Arizona, that has yet been is- sued. The author, George Wharton James, is well acquainted with the subject on which he writes. The book contains thirty ull.page illustrations and seventy pictures in the text.
 American interest in the Grand Canyon has greatly increased in the last few years and the wonders of this sublime spectacle are now visited by great numbers of people. The pres ent work is not an ord mary book of nasty travel and hurried description, hut the growth of ten years visits by the aut hOr, during which he has ex- plOred the many wild and picturesque trails of the Canyon. and has been treless in his work of gathering to. geth all the local history concerning these regions. He has followed care fully all possible traces of the early explorers, and relates, often in their own fresh, vivid words. the records of their thrilling adventures and hair. breadth escapes pes-adventurc- 50 wild that they rival those we read in the most sensational fiction.

 The anthor thus describes the places and scenes in which he wrote his book

BOARD REGISTRARS
CONTINUE WORK.
Culling the Lists of Registered Voters
of Sumter.
WILL COMPLETE TASK TUESDAY
More Than a Hundred White Voters
Registered Illegally and Their
Names Will be Stricken Board
Will Finish Work by Tuesday.

The Board of Registrars for Sumter
county, Messrs. w. f. Clarke, Henry
Wetteroth and B. T. Adams, are still
busily engaged with the task of culling
from the list of perhaps 200 regis
tered voters those who registered il
legally, and otherwise preparing the
list for the state and county election on
Wednesday next. The board has been
thus employed for more than a week,
and will finish the task by Monday
next. As expected, it was found that
quite number of voters got on the
list and voted in the May and June
primaries who were not entitled to
register from the fact that their taxes
for the year preceding had not been
paid. More than a hundred of these,
principally residents of the city, have
been summoned to appear before the
Board of Registrars and show cause
why their names should not be erased
from the list, but little attention was
paid thereto inasmuch as the primary
election settled the result and there is
little incentive to vote in the regular
election now. In all, perhaps 1876 or
$50 names will be dropped, thus leaY-
ing total registration of 1000 voters,
of whom 1, 400 or 1850 are democrats.

A SMALL AUDIENCE
Few Populists and Democrats Heard
Candidate TraYlor.

Hon. John FL. Traylor. populist can
didate for Governor of Georgia, adj
dressed yesterday at the courthouse
the smallest assemblage ever brought
together in Sumter to listen to polit-
zeal speech. Not more than thirty
people were gathered in the county
court room, and perhaps two.thirds of
these were courthouse officials and
other democrats drawn thither by Gu
riosity. Mr.. TraYlor is an affable gen.
tleman and pleasing speaker, and for
an hour discussed the formation of his
party, the financial question and other
matters pertaining to the political
campaign. His tour was one of edu-
cation, he said, and not an election
eering tour for the abuse of democrats.
Democrats, he thought, were pretty
good folks, though wrong politically.
Mr.. Traylor was introduced by Mr..
John 2. Clopton and received most
respectful hearing, although it was
"loYe's labor lost to preach popuIism
in Sumter any more. Mr.. Traylor left
in the afternoon for some point in
south Georgia.

SESSION OF INSTITUTE ENDED,
Ministers Leaves For Their Homes
Yesterday.

AS several of the ministers attending
the South Georgia Bible Institute de-
sired to leave for their homes by the
afternoon trains yesterday, it was de-
cided to close the session with the
morning meeting instead of with love
feast at night, as had been proposed.
Rev. Ed Cook, of Savannah, preached
a splendid sermon at the morning ser
vice yesterday, his subject being
''The Word of God" Prior to final
adjournment committee was appointed
to investigate plan proposed LOOKING
to the calling of all future meetings at
one designated point, where an audi
forum might be erected and where the
North Georgia Institute as well as
bible students of the State Epworth
League could assemble annually with
this Institute. The committee will file
its report later. The session of the
Institute here was a very pleasant and
profitable one.

Chairman PilsburY Calls Upon The
Party in Sumter.
FULL STRENGTH IS DESIRABLE
At the State Election Next Wednes-
daY.-An Address From County
Chairman Pilsbury Calls Upon Dem
ocrats to Rally on That Day.

To the Democratic voters of Sumter
county: On October 3rd, Wednesday
next, the Governor, State House Off
GERS, Judges, Solicitors. County OIL
GERS are to be elected to serve you. L
would earnestly ask the democratic
voters to turn out and insure a full
vote. The impression prevails that
the party has no opposition. This is a
mistake to some extent; there is oppo-
sition on the part of the Peoples Party.
The democratic nominees for Governor
and State House Officers have some on
the part of the Peoples Party, How
great this opposition is throughout the
state I do not know, but that there is
it behooves the democratic party of
Sumter county to be on the alert, and
see that full vote Is cast for the nom
inees of their party in Sumter county
and elsewhere. A small majority for
the democratic party, material re-
ductioD, will have its effect upon the
National election in November next,
and the democrats in doubtful states
will look anxiously for the result in
Georgia on October 3rd. Let US then
turn out, poll lull vote and encour-
age the democrats of those states to
battle and strive to elect the noble
standard bearers of the party, w. j.,
Bryan and AdlaI Stevenson, and at
least let us do our duty by turning out
and giving full vote on next Wed
nesday and show that Sumter county
is democratic to the core.

Story of a Slave.

To bound b and and foot for years,

form of slavery. george d. Williams,
of Manchester, Mich, tells how such a
slave WAS made free. He says: my
wife has been 80 helpless for five years
that she could not turn over in bed
alone After using two bottles of Elec-
trio Bitters, she IS wonderfully improv-
ed and able to do her own work" This
supreme remedy for female diseases
quickly cures nervousness, sleepless-

THIS MULE RODE BACK HOME.
Kicked on Walking and Rode in The
Wagon.

A case of "bottom rail getting on
top" was witnessed on Lamar street
yesterday when refractory mule re-
fused to be driven or led, and simply
kicked the tin roof off the nearby
buildings when such attempt was
made. The mule was obstinate and
fatty refused to bulge an inch. After
working in vain for two hours, the
owner secured an empty piano box and
nailed the mule up in it, loading this
new tangled instrument" upon a
wagon drawn by six other mules. AS
the strange cargo started from town
the braying in the box sounded not
unlike ga Life on the Ocean Wave"

The cotton market played another
game of see-saw yesterday, fuctuating
a half dozen points up and down and
finally closing at about the opening
figures of the morning for contracts.
Spot cotton commands about ten cents
for the best grades, and Just now
nearly all that is being marketed is of
the best. Receipts at the warehouses
Yesterday were 527 bales, and today's
receipts will probably exceed that
number considerably.
