A VOTING MACHINE HERE
GEORGE CARTER IMPORTS \
SAMPLE.
The First one in Bawai-Will be
Brought to the Attention of the Leg
islature.

Senator Geor r. Carter has in his
office a Sample of the standard voting
machine, which may be introduced
here for the next election. lie will
have the machine set up for inspection
in few days, and it will be brought
to the attention OF the Legislature. lC
is a machine that receives, registers
and counts votes automatically, leav-
ing no room for error either in voting
or counting and showing the result at
once when the poll close. 1t has Deen
legalized by the legislatures of New
York, Ohio, Michigan, Minnesota, In
diana and Nebraska and by act of
Congress for election of representa-
tives.
At the last presidential election the
machine was used in the city of Buff
falo New York and i'm many other
places, and it is highly spoken of in
/ all communities that used ii. The to-
tai results We're known i'm Buffalo half
an hour after the polls closed the only
work needed being the conecuon Of
! figures fro"- the different machines
and adding them.
After the polls are closed and the
machine locked against voting. the
doors in the rear are unlocked and the
vote of each candidate is shown on
the counters ready to be copied for the
election returns.
The machine is constructed in the
best manner possible, of steel and nom
! corrosive metals, and, where steel Is
used, it is protected from rust by plat
ing with copper and nickel.
Every movement is positive, the ma
chine is wholly different i'm construc-
ton from any other, and cannot be
manipulated fradulenty.
The machine weights about five hun
dred pounds, and when boxed for stor-
age or shipment, occupies a space about
four feet square and sixteen inches
deep. 1t costs $500.
The New York State voting machine
commissioners in their report of June
2Sth. 1899, after giving a detailed des-
cription of the Standard Voting Ma
chine, say:
I'm conclusion, the undersigned be-
lieve that
"First-The machine is, i'm their opn-
ion, adapted to register under reason
able conditions the votes of six hun
dred (60O) voters within the hours al
lowed by law for holding an election.
'Second-The machine is capable of
doiro this work accurately and eff
GENTLY
'Third-The machine may be safely
used for election purposes.
"Fourth-The machine is strong in
its parts and reliable in its action. 1t
is susceptible to adjustment to permit
speedy voting under varying condi-
tions. 1t permits the voter to select,
or mechanically indicate. the candi-
dates, individually, i'm groups. or in ac-
cordance with the party ticket before
voting, and thereafter to change his
selections at will before the registra-
ton of his vote is effected The regis
traton is accomplished as final oper-
alton, as the voter leaves the machine
1t may be adjusted to limit the vot-
ing of females or other classified or
special voters
"Ftfth-These conclusions are based
on the mechanical construction and ar.
rangement of details and not on the
letters ""f0"t or claims contained
therein"

MR. SINN|GE TALKS ABOUT THE FAIR Net Profit to the EIks Was
 $7000 HAD OVER 35,O0O VISITORS Not a Single Arrest During the Fair. Merchants Have Received Many orders-ProbabIy Something
 New Next Year.
TAD OVER 35,OOO VISITORS

''The Elks' fair was a success in every way" said MT. H H. Sinnige, the treas- urer of the association, to an Age-Herald reporter. Tt netted about s700O to the Dlks which with money on hand, will enable us to pay 0OO0 on the mortgage on our new club house. The Elks have about 5000 on hand and owe s15,OO on the club house. We bought 1t for s20, 900, pay ing 5000 cash and giving a mortgage for the balance. The three days of baseball probably cost us 5000, as they were the first games of the season and everybody was anxious to see them
 "The fair was not only success finan- cially but as an advertisement for the merchants. All the merchants who made exhibits are well pleased with the results, many of them having already received numerous orders on account of their ex- hibits. Besides all this I might say that the fair was moral success! Over thir- ty-fve thousand persons visited the fair and yet there was not single disturbance or arrest. This Is a remarkable showing and reflects credit on the discipline main tained by the police. The attendance at the fair was as follows:

COAL LAND IS SOLD.
Tuscaloosa Company Disposes of 2ooo
 Acres of Mineral Property.

Tuscaloosa, May 6.-Special.-Deeds filed in the probate office at this place on the 2d inst. show that Tuscaloosa County mineral and coal lands are bringing good prices. The Alabama State Land Com pany conveyed in the deed referred to 260 acres of land to the Central Iron and Coal Company for the sum of A7,000, or S2o per acre. The lands are situated in the northern part of the county near Searles, and are the lands which are being devel- oped very rapidly by the Central Iron and Coal Company. It is believed the Mobile and Ohio Railroad Company will build a branch from Tidewater to Searies, for which extension the Central Iron and Coal Company has been working very hard c. L.

CHANGES IN PHILIPPINES.
General Hughes Has Been Placed In Command of Samar Island.

Manila, May 6.-The island of Samar, one of the Visyan group, has been trans ferred from the department commanded by General Wade to that commanded by General Hughes. General Hughes has been ordered personally to Samar. and If he is unsuccessful in negotiating the sur render of the insurgent general Lukeban the force of American troops in Samar will be largely increased and a vigorous, offensive campaign will be inaugurated.
 The report of Colonel Greenleaf, head of the medical department in the Philip pines, which has just been forwarded to Washington, shows the percentage of sick among the troops in the islands to be only 5 2-3. This is less than the usual percentage, which in the Philippines has formerly been from to 13. The military authorities have forwarded schedule to Washington covering the sailing dates of the ten regiments of volunteers still in the archipelago. Unless unforeseen de- lays arise, the last of these regiments will reach home before June 30.
 The commission is preparing amend ments to the form of provincial govern ment which are direct result of their experiences during their recent visit to the provinces.

RUNAWAY OCCURS
 ON RIVER BRIDGE
Horse MadIy Oashes Across a Bridge Crowded With Chil-
 dren-Three injured

Columbus, Ga, May GA thrilling runa- way occurred at the upper wagon bridge across the Chattahoochie river today when a horse dashed through 1t at full speed at an hour when the bridge was crowded with children from the Alabama suburbs, carrying dinner to their parents in the Columbus mills.
 It seems almost a miracle that several children were not killed and 1t Is also a little singular that there was no other vehicle in the bridge when the runaway took place.
 There was more than a hundred chil- dren in the bridge when the horse run through 1t from the Alabama side, mainly little girls. These children have often been warned to be on lookout for runa- ways. They have been told to run to the sides of the bridge and get behind tim bers as much as possible. Scores of them followed this plan today and saved them selves thereby.
 Three children, all of whom live in Phoenix City. were injured.

BOND ELECTION
 RESULT WAS CLOSE Vote Stood 220 For and 198 Against-Will Possibly
 Not Make Issue

Bessemer, May e.-tSpecial.)- 1.-The event of today in Bessemer was the election under the act of the last General Assem- ply authorizing the citizens to vote on the question of issuing bonds to an ex- tent not exceeding Si0000 for the purpose of establishing and operating an electric light and power plant special regis tration was held for the purpose, and so little interest was felt in the question that but $40 voters were registered out of some 12O0 in the city.
 Four hundred and twenty votes were cast today. 220 for and 19S against the issue of bonds.
 It is discussed on the streets that the division among citizens being so close and the opposition of tax payers being so strong that the issue of bonds will not be attempted, but that amicable arrange ments will be made with President A. R. Stiles, the principal owner of the plant by which good lights will be assured cit izens at the lowest possible cost.
 One unpleasant feature of the election today was the action of prominent citi- zens in getting negroes to the polls to vote on a question that should be left to tax payers, ..--1- ~

The Next Year's Fai


 Next year we are thinking about hay ing different kind of fair, something more like an European kirmess, that is booths all over the city and no paid ad- mission In the Holland and Belgian cities they have kirmess every year. The towns are wide open. in the sense that the exhibitions are all free, and the merchants sell articles from their. booths These shows are given by the municipali- ties and no direct profit Is anticipated
 These events are looked forward to by thousands who flock into the towns to see the show. In Nurenburg, for instance, where they make all sorts of toys and dolls, all the mechanics exhibit their new toys at the kirmess and foreign buyers come from all parts of the world to give orders for new toys and novelties.
 Nothing definite as to the next fair has yet been decided upon. We are only thinking of 1t and it Is possible some other plan may be adopted"
