With the altera tions in the rules for
single motor bicycles this machine will
come into general use for pacing this
season throughout large territory. Its
principal use. however, will be as a re-
lief machine in races requiring tandems.
So seldom is the second machine called
in that the single will be seen but occa-
sionally The argument in regard to sim
gle pace is far from settled, and with the
new pacing artillery being constructed es-
pecially for paced races. IL is not i'm
probable that as great speed will be OBJ
tanned from the pace follower back Of the
one-man machine as back OF the tandem.
Spooaer and Wells. of Newark. have late
ly had manufactured two single pacing
machines of novel design which will be
used with their two teams. one machine
with each team. James e. kenneiy Is
following the same pan. The singles
will be used almost solely In pacing in
training. as tires are not worn out on
them as on the tandem. At the home
tracks of both teams the riders not en-
ployed will be given steady workouts back
of a single motor until called upon to
race. Spooner and Wells will locate their
Southern team at Vailsburg or Atlantic
City, and the New England team will be
quartered at Boston. Mr.. Kennedy will
place his teams in about the same man
ner. changing the riders from one quar-
ter to another. but not the pacing out
fits.
Willie Fem, Boy Wonder.
Larger gears will be used this year.
Willie Fem, the boy wonder from the
Nutmeg State. the unpaced champion. will
ultimately ride a 140-gear back of pace.
Fem is particularly strong in his legs.
being one OF the heaviest racing men
below the waist known since the days
of Charlie Wells. No larger gear than
100 was used last year Bobbie Walthour
also proposes to use 40. Little Joe Nell
son, novice. used 100 gear for the first
time last season, when he rode Ave miles
in 7:45 back Of motor pace. and he had
little trouble with 1t. Nelson will easily
go over 130 with his strength acquired
by a steady winter of hard training work.
With larger gears and wider motors tho
records will again tumble. for 1t has been
the rule that the larger the gear the fast
er the time that has been made But five
years ago a rider using higher than an
eighty-four gear back Of pace was con-
sidered insane.
Fem will make his debut as pace fol-
lower on Tuesday evening next in a race
against Rutz. Fem will hardly be ready
for his opening race. having been using
a small gear back OF pace to develop his
speed. The race was on the schedule and
will be carried through. His early work
back of pace was very satisfactory to
Fem, however, for he rode from 1:48 to
1:39 for ten miles. and improved each
time he got upon his wheel.

800 Reward, 800.

The readers of this paper will be
pleased to learn that there is at least
one dreaded disease that science has
been able to cure in all it's stages, and
that is Catarrh. Halls Catarrh Cure is
the only positive cure known to the
medical fraternity. Catarrh being a
constitutional disease, requires a con-
stitutional treatment. Halls Catarrh
Cure is taken internally, acting directly
upon the blood and mucous surfaces of
the system, thereby destroying the
foundation of the disease, and giving the
patent strength by building up the con-
stitution and assisting nature In doing
it's work. The proprietors have so
much faith in it's curative powers, that
they offer One Hundred Dollars for any
case that it fails to cure. Send for list
of testimonials.

His Last Hope Realized.
From the Sentinel, Gebo, Mont,

From the Sentinel, Gebo, Mont,l
In the first opening of Oklahoma to
settlers IN 1889, the editor of this paper
was among the many seekers after for
tune who made the big race one fine day
in April. During his travelling about
and afterwards his camping upon his
claim, he encountered much bad water,
which together with the severe heat,
gave him a very severe diarrhoea
which it seemed almost impossible to
check, and along in June the case be-
came so bad he expected to die. One
day one of his neighbors brought him
one small bottle of Ohamberlain's Colo,
Che lera and Diarrhoea Remedy as last
hope. A big dose was given him while
he was rolling about on the ground in
great agony, and in few minutes the
dose was repeated. The good effect of
the medicine was soon noticed and
within an hour the patient was taking
his first sound sleep for fortnight.
Tha one little bottle worked a complete
cure, and he cannot help but feel CRATE
full. The season for bowel disorders
being at hand suggests this Item. For
sale by all druggists.

THE FINISH IN SIGHT
AND RACE is ENDED
Closing Day of a Long Drawn Out
Campaign.
AND TOMORROW GIVES RESULTS
Heavy Vote Will Be Polled In Sum
ter County. Stevens Will Sweep
County While Other Aspirants
Will Fight to Finish at Polls.

Americas, as well as the whole state
of Georgia, welcomes today the close of
one of the most spirited campaigns
ever waged within her limits; one long
drawn out and remarkable chiefly for
the pickering, bitterness and mud
singing injected into it.
Today will witness the final rallies
and tomorrow the determined battle of
ballots at the polls.
Rarely has the state witnessed such
campaign, waged for more than q
year by some of the candidates, and
every citizen is glad that the end is In
sight.
The greatest interest, perhaps, CEN
tres in the gubernatorial race, though
it is generally conceded now that Ter
rell will sweep the state. Thousands
of voters are coming to his standard
daily and even the opposition see the
handwriting on the wall.
His friends in Sumter are working
enthusiastically for him, and these
strongly claim that Sumter's vote goes
for Terrell.
Upon the other hand Mr.. Guerry's
friends are not idle and continue to
claim the county. He was born in
Sumter, and though he has not lived
here in twenty-one years they contin-
ne to claim it as his home county and
will vote for him tomorrow,
Hundreds of citizens, however, look
beyond this mere sentimentality and
regard more the qualifications of the
candidates and their fitness for this
high position.
1t is going to be a hot fight, even
right here in Americas.
There are $40 registered voters in
Sumter for tomorrow's election, and
while the hackers of each of the sever
al candidates do lot of claiming the
result here will not be determined un-
til the votes are counted. Then will
there be a surprise.
But at all events the campaign ends
today and for this, at least, the people
are more than grateful for deliverance.

Grand Jury Has Them Doing Lots of
Guessing.

Just at this particular time the grand

garded with more apprehension IN
some quarters than any other eruptiYe

facts; the first, that large number of
witnesses have been summoned before
the grand jury, presumably in blind
tiger cases, and the further fact that so
far not an indictment has been handed

the belief that the grand jury is dong
