RESULT IS STILL
MATTER OF DOUBT
Solons Are Apart On Election CT
Mayor Protein.
ANOTHER VOTE MONDAY NIGHT
Is Quite Probable In Effort to Deter.
mine the Question-Three Aspi
rants for One Job and Only Seven
Electors to Fill it.

General Grants idea of ''fghtipg 1t
out on this line if it takes all summer
has evidently been adopted by the city
council of Americas in the election of
one of their number as mayor protein.
The situation appears about as bad
ly mixed as ever before.
And just when council will settle 1t
and bring about an election is quite
as uncertain as the settlement of the
Chinese question or the age of the
average spinster.
AS told in the Times Recorder Tues
day, the solons attempted to elect a
mayor protein at the meeting the night
before, but after forty-e1ght ineffec-
tual ballots had been taken they rang
/ off until next time
Tomorrow night is the "next time"
if the solons wish to vote then.
AS an interested public is we'll aware,
the three gentlemen voted for last
Monday night were Aldermen Glover,
Mitchell and Sherlock, as at q pre-
vious meeting.
But neither of these could get the
required four votes, though one came
within one vote of election
It is understood that Mayor Fielder
and Alderman Bolton favor Alderman
Glover, while Alderman Fort favors
Alderman Mitchell, and Alderman
Cameron stands fast by the colors of
Alderman Sherlock.
And thus did the deadlock stand
throughout nearly half hundred il
effectual ballots.
Sometimes one of the three aspirants
would get three votes, one through
courtesy" but on one ever turned the
-four spot" aud thus CLAIMED the table
stakes and 800 Office.
Mr.. Glover states that he was in
Florida when his name was put in
nomination. and he has since suggest
ed that he withdraw it, but his friends
in the council and outside as well urge
him to stay in.
It will be finish fight, and may con-
! tInue all summer.
On previous occasion a deadlock
prevented the election of mayor pro-
tenn for several months, neither can
didate yielding, and the year was
wearing we'll away ere one of the as
pirants slipped in.
The fact that some of the candidates
in this present election vote for them
selves every time causes much amuse-
ment.

THE RACE IS OPEN
WITH SIX IN FIELD.
Contest For Office of Clerk of Sumter
Superior Court.
PROMISES BE QUITE SPIRITED.
Several Aspirants For the Position
Already at Work and Other Entries
Expected Will Be Filled For Pres
ent By Appointment.

Judge Thomas NJ. Allen, of the
Court of Ordinary, has appointed II.
E. Allen, for many years deputy clerk
of court, to discharge the duties of the
position held by his father until the
Office is filed by regular election to
be held month hence.
The election has been called for April
3rd by Ordinary Allen.
And already number of aspirants
are in the field and making an active
canvass. Current report yesterday
was to the effect that six men desired
the Office.
There may be others, as the Office
pays from So, 500 to 50, 500 per annum,
according to the amount of business
done. There is no stated salary, the
fee system prevailing. This, however,
is amply sufficient in amount to make
it very desirable place.
Of the six asprants named yester-
day, all may not formally enter the
contest. but there will be enough OF
them to make it interesting.
| Several formal announcements will
be made this week, perhaps.
AS stated in yesterdays Times-Re
corder, the vacancy will be filed at a
regular county election, in which all
duly qualified voters of whatever par
ty can participate. To qualify, a vo-
ter must have paid his taxes for last
year and registered also.
The fact that you voted in the last
county election, being then duly quail
fed, does not permit you to vote in
this one for clerk unless your taxes
for 1900 are paid.
