Beautiful as will be th escene by day,
when the day fades and the myriad
flashes of the electric lights throw their
glamour over the countless throng the
picture will be one far past describing.
The electrical display is to be a most
magnificent one, and at frequent intervals
strings of incandescent lights, stretching
from ono side Of Broad Street to the
other, will make 1t light as day and cast
the lesser lights OF heaven into pale in
significance.

itself pushing and thronsing each other,
but while this adds much to the enjoy
n1ent Of every large gathering of people,
there will pc plenty of things TO see.

ride the camel, ships of the desert; the
Ylazes OF the Cristal Fa ace, where the
most astute will inevitably get lost with

COMMENTS ON SAMPSON.

General AIger reviews at length me
differences between General Shafter and
Admiral Sampson, and quotes many Off
ciaI letters. He concludes this chapter
in these words:
1T is difficult to account for Admiral
Sampson's seeming attitude towards the
army during the operations before San
tiago, as well as to excuse him for his
contradictory statements. subsequently
made in his official report. After the third
of July, the Admiral's conduct may be
due to the keen disappointment result
ing from his non-paTticipation in the en-
gagement with Cervera's squadron. Pos
sibly he felt that Skaters request for Il
conference on the morning of July sd, in
nocent though it was was responsible
for his being deprived of the honor Of ;tc-
lively participating as corlmander-in-
chief in one of the most remarkable VIC
tories in the annals os naval warfare.

PACKARD OPERA TROUPE HERE.
Matinee and Tonight a Great Bill
Promised.

The finest company presenting light
opera here this season, the Dan Pack
ard Opera Co., will appear at Glover's
opera house this afternoon at matinee
and again tonight, presenting the pref
ty play "Prince Protein" which is seen
in Americas for the first time.
Our theatre-goers will be delighted
with this very excellent bill.
The Packard Company has just clos
ed an engagement in Savannah, ap-
pearing there two nights this week be-
fore good houses. The Morning News
says of this company:
''Prince Pro Tenn" Is not an opera,
It is a musical melange, which serves
as a vehicle for introducing numerous
specialties and skits This does not
mean that the piece is devoid of mu.
sic. There are numerous vocal num-
b. re-, some of which are very good.
Dan Packard is prince Pro Tenn, -
the principal character, which he does
nicely. His songs Tommy Temp
kins" and That's ALP seemed to take.
Others in the company are Gus DAILY,
John Saunders, frankie Clarke, Mar
garet Hall, Minnie DeLeon and Helen
Gould"
An excellent chorus of pretty girls
adds greatly to the interest of the play.

AMERICUS NEGRO
WAS CONVICTED.
Charged With Murder of officer Il B.
Fender
SHOOTING OF BURNS ADMITTED
Bv Brooks in His Statement, Though
He Denied Shooting Oficer-Jury
Returns Verdict Without Recon-
mendation Means the Trap

Savannah Ga. March 2S.-At $3.50
o'clock last night the jury in the muir
der case of Henry Brooks, an Americus
negro, charged with the killing of Po-
liceman Harry b. Fender, on the night
of February 19th, brought in verdict
of guilty. There was no recommends
ton to mercy. The court room was
packed, the gallery was filed with col
ored people, many of them friends OF
Brooks The closing scene of the trial
was thrilling one. Counsel for the
defense demanded a poll of the jury.
Brooks stood beside his counsel tremb-
ling like leaf, while each member of
the jury answered in the affirmative to
the question if he had agreed to the
verdict as read. When the verdict was
ratified by the poll and the result an
nounced, Brooks mother, who was
standing by him, threw her arms
around her son and wept. The scene
was affecting and there was much sym
patby for the old woman. When
Brooks reached the sheriff's room he
broke down and cried. Brooks in his
statement to the jury admitted the
shooting of Walter Burns, colored,
which occurred few minutes previous
to the Fender shooting, but denied
shooting the policeman.

CHAMBLISS STILL
A CLOSE winner,
A Bare Plurality of Two For His
Ticket.
THE CLOSEST RACE IN SUMTER
Executive Committee Met and De-
clared the Result Only Two Votes
Difference Between Chambliss and
Allen-Regular In April.

BY bare plurality of two votes Mr.
Charles A. Chambliss is named as clerk
of Sumter superior court for the cur
rent term-that to which the late Judge
Allen was elected in October and be-
ginning Jan. 1st. 1t was the closest
race ever run in Sumter.
eff had only known it would be so
close would have voted" was q re-
mark generally heard yesterday among
friends of the two candidates who ran
so close.
Tt is fact that many did not vote,
feeling friendly towards each of the
young men running, while other non
participants gave various reasons as to
why they failed to come to the polls
and cast their ballot.
Only about three of every five regis
tered voted in the primary.
The recent contest was theme of
general discussion Yesterday untilafter
the executive committee had canvassed
the vote and officially declared the
result.
Yesterdays Times Recorder gave
Chambliss 372, ALLEN 800 and Parker
PAP, bnt when the executive committee
consolidated The returns 1t was found
that Mr.. Chamblis's vote was 81 IN
stead of 372
This reduced his plurality to q bare
two votes.
Mr.. H. E. Allen asked the commit
tee for recount of the vote, either in
certain districts or as whole, but this
request was declined by vote of six
to five.
This official action of the committee
determines the result of the primary.
On April Sd Mr.. Chambliss will be du-
ly elected and with his deputy, Mr..
L, T. Gatewood, installed in the Office.
And they will feel it with entire satis-
faction,
Sumter may never witness such a
holly contested and close election
again.

WHERE A MILL BUILT A CITY.
Americas Might Follow Example Of
Pelzer.

Americas has no cotton mill, and
may not build one in years, but the
fact that mills build up cities remains
tie sa ne. Most pessimistic of cotton
manufacturers admit that stock in a
cotton mill is good ten per cent in
vestment. Others know it is an in
vestment that will pay from twenty to
sixty per cent annually. Vast for
tunes have been earned by single
mills. Seventeen years ago at Pelzer,
s. G. 100000 was invested in a fac
tory; and that factory paid ten per cent
dividends and built another mill; the
two mills paid the same dividend and
built third, and the three have kept
up the ten per cent dividend and built
fourth mill, and there are now 10Y,
600 spindles, in operation there and the
factories are valued at $4,000, 900.
Gould such results have been achieved
IN any other line of human endeavor
The quicker the South goes up to its
neck in cotton milling the quicker it
will become the leading section of the
Union, Let Americas make a start.
