CLOSE CALL FOR BANK.

Years ago the directors of the Bank
of England were startled by an invita-
ton sent by mail to meet an unknown
man in the strong room of the bank at
midnight among the money chests. 4
have been inside the bank the last two
nights, . wrote the man, ''but am not
thief; so meet me in the great square
room with all the money at - to-
night" Though the letter was regard
ed as hoax, the police were notified
and guarded the strong room that
night. Nothing happened. A few days
later a heavy chest Of papers and secu-
rites taken from the strong room ar
rived at the bank, with letter COM
planning that the directors had set the
police upon the writer and that there
fore he had not appeared as he prom
1sed; but to prove that he was neither
a thief nor a fool he sent a chest of pa
pers he had taken from the bank. Let
a few gentlemen he alone in the room
and he would join them at midnight,
said the writer This time his instyuc-
tions were obeyed Then a man with
a dark lantern burst into the strong
room Of the bank at midnight after
calling from behind the stone walls for
the directors to put out the lights. He
was one Of a strange class Of men who
gained living by searching the sew
ers at night, and through an opening
from a sewer he had found his way
into the richest room in the world.

CONGRESSIONAL CANDIDATES.

There are forty-fye congressional
districts in the United States in which
the Republicans have no candidates.
Most of these are in the South, Illinois
being the only Northern State in
which the Republicans have failed to
nominate in all the districts, that State
having three districts in which the
Democrats have no opposition. The
number Of Republican candidates for
congress in the south is larger than
usual probably as a result of the Pres
idents suggestion. There are Repub-
lican candidates in all but two of the
Virginia districts, in all the Alabama
districts and in all the districts but
one each in Arkansas, Louisiana and
Kentucky. There are Republican
candidates in seven of the ten districts
in Tennessee, while in North Carolina
there are five Republican nominees.
In one district in that State the Re
publicans have Endorsed an independ-
ent Democrat, and in the Seventh dis
trict they have done an unusual thing

DEMOCRATS, GO AND VOTE.

The Times-Recorder urges upon
the citizens of Sumter county to go to
the polls next Tuesday and vote for
Hon. Z. B. Lewis for congress, AS
there is only one official to be voted
for and our candidate, Mr.. Lewis, has
no open opposition we fear our people
viii think there is no necessity for 60
inc to the polls. But there is a vital
necessity. The Republicans North are
continually harping on the small vote
in many Democratic districts South
and point to the light vote as evidence
that intimidation is used to keep yo-
ters from the precincts This small
vote is used as a preteXt for Republi-
can legislation to enact laws to take
charge of the polls and run them in the
interests of Republican candidates.
Then, too, in case of a contest it is
easier to take the seat in congress from
Democrat and give it to Republi-
can when the vote is small Then a
light vote has tendency to lessen a
congressman's influence. 1t looks as
| if the voters do not think enough of
their candidate to lose a little time to
work for him and go to the polls and
vote for him.
Again, Mr.. Lewis has spared no eff
fort nor diligence in working for his
constituents. Call on him when you
will for any favor or help and he res
ponds at once. Now that he calls on
us let's ALL respond. He gives all his
time when we call on him; let us give
him one hour of our time when he
needs our help. 1t would be fitting
and deserved compliment to faithful
public servant for every county to
turn out and give Mr. Lewis full
vote. Other counties have been stirred
up and have promised to poll large
vote Tuesday, Don't let Sumter fall
behind any other county in the con-
gressional district. Tickets and blanks
have been sent to every district eXecu-
tive committeeman in the eight dis
tricts of the county. Won't they and
the magistrates open the polls prompt
Nv. having in the meantime taken the
necessary steps to get the people to
turn out?

tee especially urges upon his col
leagues to be instant in bringing out a

been blowing all day, and the trial was
