Had Many Ess.-. -~.n Death.

General Sir Arthur Cotton, whose death al the age of 95 was recently an- nounced, was so i'll in Persia sixty-four years ago that his grave was dug in readiness for his death. At the age of IS he went through the Burmese var. caught the jungle fever many times, and was, as the old man him. self expressed it, obliged to quit India three times under sentence of death by the doctors. Twice he had sunstroke and once the skin of half his body was torn off by boiler explosion. After forty-fve years of battling with say ages and microbes the old man gave in and returned to England to die-ac- cordiLg to the doctors. It was the aged generals firm conviction that by ab- stinenee from drink and tobacco he had placed his lifelong enemy, death, un- der tremendous disadvantage.

BLACK SWAN OF AUSTRALIA.
Is an impressive Feature of It's Beau
 tiful Surroundings.

htAat EuEKOuudtukSs
 The native swan of Australia is not the very beautiful white bird which adorns so many of the English waters, but the more ordinary-looking black swan, which is invariably an exhibit of our geological gardens, and is noted more especially for it's fierceness and strength, says Chambers Journal. As far as appearance goes. the black swan IS certainly not as attractive as it's more ornamental cousin, neither would II lend so picturesque an addition to an English landscape, but when seen II It's native state, sailing in large fseAs peacefully, contentedly and ap.
 with perfect unanimity of in.
 l, on some sheltered lagoon -sAi surroundings of rising country e.a | with rich herbage and thick Hlt=;a forests, its presence and appear anee is most impressive, and eausei one to feel that the beauties of tha scenery around would count for little without the living complement of Ieathered creatures so sedately and gracefully gliding along the waters surface. It is matter of compara- tlyely little trouble to obtain. views of these birds in their immense fioeks, but the true difficulty is to get them within gunshot range, and in hunting the black swan it must be remembered that the sport is not simply pleasure and a pastime-the birds are sought after Tor a very practical purpose, and their acquisition is of considerable value. It seems hardly needfuf to refertto their down, but it may be mentioned that that obtained from the breast of these black swans is exceptionally beautiful and snowy white, the outer and eoarser black feathers being removed before the down itself is exposed. Although the extent of one breast is small, the covering is so wonderfully thick and spreading that it can be divided up into many yards length of the finest and softest sWansdown.

SUMTER DEMOCRATS
EVER UNTERRIFIED
Will Rally in Strength at the Polls
Today.
A COUNTY AND STATE ELECTION.
Will Bring Out a Large Vote in Sum-
ter. While there is No Opposition,
1t is Urged that Democrats Poll
Large Vote Possible.

The unterrified Democrats of old
Sumter will stand shoulder to shoulder
today with their brethren throughout
the Empire State in rolling up major
lty of one hundred thousand votes.
Despite the fact that farmers and
merchants are buster than at any other
time, they Will come out to the polls
todayEand by their united strength
deal final blow to whatever opposi-
ton the party may have. It will be a
splendid victory throughout Georgia.
And Sumter must contribute her
strength to that great end.
It Is true there is no opposition here
to the Democratic nominees, but big
vote will give strength and comfort in
close states and help, perhaps, to turn
the tide our way.
The names of all the candidates,
both state and county, appear upon
one long ticket, including those of
governor, state house officials, judges,
solicitors, legislative members and all
county officers. Vote thefulI, straigh4
ticket without the scratch of one name.
The polls will open at 7 a. M. and
close at p. m. at the courthouse.
OF course only registered voters can
participate in today's election, but
Sumter has 2, 200 names on her regis
tration list and 1900 of these should
be cast for the democratic ticket. As
there is no opposition, members OF
other parties will vote this ticket as
well.
Let Sumter roll up a great vote for
Democracy and good government.

TROOPS RESTORE ORDER.
Quiet Prevails at Georgetown-Cause

OA tAAC Disturbance
COLUMBIA, s. c., Oct. 2-Quiet pre-
walls at Georgetown today. The pres
ence of six companies of militia has
overawed the negroes. The cause of the
trouble has just been learned.
Saturday afternoon J. O. Scurry, a
white deputy, went to collect delin-
quent taxes from a negro barber, John
Brownfeld. A scuffle ensued and Sour
RVS pistol dropped. The negro grabbed
it and shot Scurry five times. Brown
field was arrested.
The negroes heard that the white peo-
pie would ring the fire bell to get the
negroes to assemble in another part of
the town, and then the whites would
rush to the Jail and lynch Brownfeld.
The negroes rang the bell themselves,
and 1000 of them dashed to the Jail
with rifles and pistols to protect the
prisoner, they said. They kept up hor-
rible orgies all night. The whites in
tended no violence to the prisoner and
fearing the negroes would be led into an
aggressive outbreak, they asked for the
