WEDNESDAY IS ELECTION DAY.
Sumter Will Poll Large Vote For
Ticket.

The principal feature of tomorrow's
election for state and county officers
is, of course, in the size of the vote
polled here, as none of the nominees
for county officers have opposition.
Sumter should roll up a democratic
vote of at least 800, and will probably
do it if the voters go to the polls as
they should. OF course Governor
Gambler and full state ticket, as we'll as
the judges, solicitors, prison commits
sIoners, ETC., will get the full vote
cast, as will the other nominees upon
the ticket. These are J. r. Hays,
senator; W. T. Lane and B. L. Joiner,
representatives e. l.. Bell, sheriff; j.
B. Dunn, tax collector; j. H. Allen,
clerk court; T. M. Allen, ordinary; J.
2. Raiford, tax receiver; j. E. Sulli-
van, treasurer: j. H. Cheek, coroner.
Let every democrat go to the polls and
vote for the nominees tomorrow.

Cold Steel or Death.

'"There is but one small chance to
save you life and that is through an
operation" was the awful prospect set
before Mrs. I. B. Hunt, of Lime Ridge,
Wis, by her doctor after vainly trying
to cure her of frightful case of stom-
sch trouble and yellow jaundice. He
didn't count on the marvellous powers
of Electric Bitters to cure stomach and
Liver troubles, but she heard of it,
took seven bottles, was wholly cured,

A Quintette OF aged Citizens Meet By
Chance.

Some people live to a ripe old age in
Sumter. A day or two since Mr.. and
Mrs. A. A, Willett entertained party
of friends at their cozy home out Eel
der street, and during the day the fact
was ascertained that of six persons
present five had attended in 184O-just
sixty long years ago-the first camp
meeting ever held in this part of Geor-
gia. The campground was between
the two Parker mills, three miles from
the little hamlet of Americas, from
whence the Indians had not gone a
very great while. All remembered that
occasion perfectly and sixty years after
wards discussed it with considerable
interest.

STORMS AND FLOODS HOLD
CARNIVAL in MANY STATES

Chicago. Nov. GA storm of I'M
usual severity swept the states east of
Illinois during the past thirty hours.
causing numerous disasters on land
and water and entailing heavy proper
ty loss. Wind, rain and snow com
bined to make the storm one of the
worst of the year.
Wires throughout New York. West
Virginia. Ohio, Kentucky. Tennessee
and other states are still in a crippled
condition and it is impossible to tell
how great the loss of life will prove.
Many alarming rumOrs have gained
credence. but confirmation of several
reputed disasters cannot be obtained.
New York City was all but isolated
from the rest of the world n great part
of yesterday.
On Lake Erie the gale was severe, Il
number of vessels being wrecked or
driven ashore. Twenty-fOot waves
swept in from the lake, causing serious
damage to wharves and buildings along
the water front. At Lorraine, Ohio. the
heaviest sea in many years destroyed
the government pier. threatening to
ruin the harbor.
a section of the wall of the Erie ca
nal near Rome, New York, was broken,
letting the water out of the sixty mile
level. All vessels in this section of the
canal will be left on the bottom where
they are until the damage is repaired
and the canal retilled.

Several mills on the south side have
been compelled to shut down.
Pittsburg. Nov. 27.-At o'clock this
morning the mark ut the dam was 23.7
feet and rising four inches an hour.
From all up-river points come reports
of unusually high water doing consider
able damage. but as the rain has
ceased no further trouble is apprehend-
ed.
Lorraine Ohio, Nov. 26.-Thousands
of dollars of damage has been done by
the storm on Lake Erie. which began
last night and is still raging. The
schooner st. Lawrence, which Went
ashore few days ago, has been brok
en- into pieces. The harbor is in dan
ger of destruction. Over a thousand
feet of the east pier is gone and the
west pier is also threatened.
Buffalo. n. Y, Nov. 26.-Buffalo and
vicinity is submerged tonight by ii fall
of about one foot of snow, which. par
TALLY melting as it touched the earth,
has turned into coating of slush
which has made travel of all kinds
very ul11lcuU. street cars were fuu-
ming in the city nearly on time and
trains were only a tritle belated. From
surrounding towns come reports of
serious damage to telegraph and tele-
phone wires caused by the thick coat
ing of snow which chung to them and
weighted them down.
Columbus. Ohio, Nov. 26.-Rain
which continued all day Sunday turned
into sleet and hail about midnight and
toward morning into heavy wet snow.
There were high winds during Il part
of the time and as result wires of all
sorts We're generally demoralized this
morning. Columbus was nearly cut off =
from the world. Locally, there wert
probably 200 telephone wires down.,
Street cars We're ilterfered with and
through trains We're from one to two
hours late. Newspaper and mail
trains We're in every case delayed.
The damage done throughout the
state will amount to thousands of dol
lars. At Cambridge several buildings
were blown down. AT Batavia Miss
Anna Hrd was drowned while driving
into a stream where Il bridge had
washed out,
