The local friends of W. l.. Alien of Brooklyn, popular member of New towns summer c lony, were sorry to learn his business establishment in New York was destroyed by the big fire of lf st week. In writing to a local friend, 4r Allen says: As thlnk of the past 1t seems almost 8 miracle that all got away safely from our store. We were only the second door from Tarrants &5 Co. When the fire first broke out I watched the girls coming down the fire escape, and then hurried to close our shutters and safe. Having done this we were near our front door when my brotb- CT, thinking of the contents of Tarrant's store, cried, s'look out for explosions" At that moment the first small explosion occurred and forced us little back into the store. We then started to run as fast as we could, and I had not covered over 300 feet when I was blown tdOWn and trampled upon. On rising looked back and saw our store in,the street. My nephew, who was only 8 short distance behind me, perhaps 10 feet, got more of the explosion and has not recovered yet. My clothes were all torn and hat gone. Was also considerably bruised. vas considerably stunned also, as the explo- sions which were deafening to others were not remarkably loud to me. Our loss was complete, not even a sheet of paper remaining. The safe is still in the ruins. We are fortunately fully covered by ineurance.

NEWTOWN.
 Dear Sit: Mr H. Fl. Stephenson, Casn' fer of Oil City (Pa. Savings Banks writes s'Nine years ego painted my house w1tn your paint. It wore 60 we'll, want to use it again." .-
 That's nothing wonderful except TOT the fact that the soft. coal region or Pennsy lvania Is pretty hard on palnt with it's oil, smoke and grime. All we see in it is that Devoe is good for nine years sometimes. There are thousands Of peo- ple that know 1t, and millions that don't.
 There's the rub! We print for the millions we want to make paint for the millions.
 MT Cashier do you know that Devoe lead and zinc is worth twice as much as old-fashion painters paint, lead ana oii, and costs no more? Is 100 per cent . fair pro fit in your businessP
 Three. quarters of the people paint lead and oil mixed by hand; while the U. 5: government use lead, zinc and oil ground together by machinery-same propor- tions as Devoe lead and zinc. The ma- iority never is right about anything.
 2s Yours truly, F.W. Devoe & Co.

VOTE is CAST
IN CITY AND COUNTY
Voters Did Not Rally in ANY Great
Number.
as BATTLE WAS ALREADY WON
Amerlcus and Sumter Cast Light Vote
For Presidential Election Compar-
atively Few Negroes Voted Here
Lewis Gets Good Vote.

Americas never witnessed a more
peaceful or quiet election than that
yesterday, and one would hardly haye
known that great issues we're being de-
cided had he not gone to the polls or
heard the election talk INDUCED in
about the street corners.
Business went on as usual, and there
was no crowd in town.
The polls were opened at z o'clock,
but it was several hours after that time
before the voters came in any number
and ran the total up above the hun
dred mark.
Knowing that the result, so far as
Sumter was concerned, was over
whelmingly one waV the democratic
voters did not show the interest that a
sharp contest would have aroused. 1t
was all one way for Bryan and Lewis
here and the people knew it.
Even the colored voters did not
evince much interest, and only few
who want to pose as ''Ieaders" stood
about the polls.
Some of the county precincts were
not opened, put where elections were
held the vote was pretty solidly for the
democratic ticket. The few white re-
publicans in Americas voted for Mo
Kinley, but only few alleged demo
Gratis helped Hanna's man.
They want prosperity, but not al
such price as demanded.
During the afternoon interest reviv-
ed little and there was slight rally
of voters during the last hour. More
interest was shown in the vicinity OF
the telephone and telegraph Offices,
however, as people waited eagerly foI
any small bit of news.
The vote at the Americas precinct
was: Bryan SAG; Mckinley 1853; Hon. E.
B. Lewis SAT.
