CAREFULLY COUNTED
SUMTER'S BALLOTS.
Committee Met and Consolidated Re-
turns
SCARCELY A THOUSAND VOTERS
BRYAN and Lewis Ran Far Ahead OF
Opposition Ticket in Sumter Light
Vote Cast and But slight Interest
Manifested in Election.

While a comparatively small vote
was cast IN Sumter county the result is
none the less gratifying, the Demo
cratic nominees running far ahead of
the other tickets here.
The election managers met yester-
day and consolidated the returns.
Six of the county precincts outside
of Americas held open, and at all of
these the Democratic ticket ran well
ahead.
In Sumter county Bryan received a
total of 78O votes; Mckinley 216. Hon
z. B. Lewis, for Congress, IT'S votes.
The total vote in the county was scarce,
ly more than Thousand.
Wharton Barker, the pop candidate,
received six votes here.
The colored vote was very light, the
negroes evidencing little interest IN
the election as observed by Mckinley
total here, though several of these
were cast by whites.
In one county precinct the Republi
can ticket didn't get vote.
Additional reports yesterday showed
that the Republican ticket swept the
fed, winning in every doubtful State
and even carrying Bryan's own State,
though by close vote.
The result in Ken tuckV is in doubt.

THE wIGwAM WAS CROWDED.
Good Indians Give a Welcome to
Grand SachAm.

Shortly after the setting of yester-
days sun the camp fires were lighted
on the reservation of Lannahassee
Tribe of Red Men, who had assembled
from all parts of the forest to welcome
to their wigwams the grand sachem of
the State, Hon. W. 81, Beck. This
was his first official visit here in some
time, and local Red Men were delight
ed to entertain HIM and hear last night
the very excellent address delivered.
1t was great occasion for the Red
Men, who made exceeding merry when
all business had been finished and en-
loyed the splendid barbecue as only
good Indians can. The local lodge
has grown considerably within the
past year and new members are re-
ceived at each official meeting.

SOCIAL TRAGEDY IS DEPICTED
In the Presentation of This Well
Known Drama.

The attraction at Glover's opera
house on next Tuesday night, 18th, is
the we'll known drama '"Ten Nights in
Barroom" which will be presented by
an unusually competent company. The
play is one of the best known of Amer
lean dramas, and has held the boards
through long series of years, IN spite
of marked changes in dramatic fashion
since its original production. It has
certain power of its own as an illustra
ton of a common social tragedy, and
has always maintained a remarkable
popularity. The cast, as stated, is
we'll selected for the piece and presents
a faIthful picture of one side of life in
village. Many here will witness this
excellent play.

PRETTY MARRIAGE IN LUMPKIN
Mr.. McGarrah and Miss ellis United
Wednesday,

The beautiful home of MIR. and Mrs
Walter S. ellis, in Lumpkin, was the
scene of very happy and interesting
occasion yesterday morning when their
daughter, Miss Beatrice ellis. was
united in marriage to Mr.. John M.
McGarrah in the presence of many
friends.
The marriage rites were soIemnized
at 10 o'clock by Rev. Mr.. Hines, pas
tor of the Methodist church there.
There were numerous attendants,
Mr.. Charles Willis, of Americas, being
best man of the occasion, while Miss
jamie Winberly was maid of honor
to the beautiful bride. Lumpkin has
rarely witnessed prettier home we'd
ding.
After an informal reception Mr.. and
Mrs. McGarrah, attended by several
members of the bridal party, left at II
O'Clock for their home in Americas.
They were entertained at dinner last
evening by Mr.. and Mrs. M. P. Pick
EFT. They will reside at the home of
Mr.. T. J. Baisden.
The bride is one of Lumpkin's fair
est daughters, and was admired by a
circle of warm friends for her beauty,
brightness and all the qualities that
combine to make the admirable woman.
The groom is one of Americus' sterling
young men and worthy of the fair
bride he has won.
The high esteem in which both are
held was well evidenced in the array OF
very beautiful and costly wedding
gifts.

The absence of frost aud continued

effect. The Americus market was dull
yesterday with 81 cents as the best of
