Harvey Wilson may hinge upon very
few votes, and dozen Of his friends
in this county may cause his defeat by
neglecting to vote.
D. G. Heyward, OF Colleton county,
barring death OF accident, will be
the next Governor of South Carolina.
The only thing left to speculation in
connection with the race is the size OF
his majority. We are anxious to see
it oYerwheaming; and We believe that
Sumter county will do asfull share to-
ward making the primary on Tuesday
"a regular landslide for Heywasd.
jim Tillman stated time and
again that be was going into the race
for Governor with the determination
to defeat Talbert if he accomplished
nothing else. Yet he is now working
for Talbert and, is sending circulars
broadcast over the State that eonSasn
statements that he evidently thinks VIII
injure Heyward and help Talbert.e II
you are friend of Heyward or feel
inclined to vote for him pay no atten-
ton to Jim Tillmaa's falsehoeds, but
vote as your own Judgment dictates.

The second primary on next Tuesday
is more important than the first pri-
mary; the first served merely TO thin
out the candidates, while on Tuesday
next the men who are TO fill the most
important Offices within the gift of the
State are to be selected-U. S. Sena-
tor, Governor, Lieutenant Governor,
Secretary of State, Comptroller Gene
raj, Railroad Commissioners, to say
nothing of the candidates for county
Offices who are still in the race-are
all to be nominated by the second pri-
mary. It is the duty, as well as the
privilege, Of all Democrats to take
part in the primary and share the
responsibility of choosing the men to
Eli the State Offices. Every Democrat
in Sumter county should take time
on Tuesday to go to the polling place
Of his club and cast his ballot. Don't
shirk duty and neglect privilege of
because it may inconye-
naence you to do SO.

it has cost Denmark much money in

Amalie, the largest place on the island
of st. Thomas, in speaking of the SEN
timent of the people as to annexation,
said:
The white population and nearly all
sugar producers are in favor of annex
alton, but the blacks are opposed to
the scheme. There are comparatively
few whites on the islands, not more
than fifteen per cent. Of the population.
The blacks are Of a superior class, and,

In the churches there is also an alb

there is certainly no line drawn in

st. Croix there are two black men, and

Of force. The inventor states that he
is enabled to transmit the rotary mo
ton Of n driving wheel to a driven
wheel without actual contact and with.
out any mechanical wear and tear or
noise resulting while the machinery is
in motion. The driving wheel is pro.
yided with magnetic coils arranged
around the periphery, with means for
onergizing a portion of the coils at a
time. This is accomplished by passing
the electric current from a generator
through the upper spring contact arm
into the two or three coils Immediately
below, and allowing it to pass out
through the lower arm. In this way n
strong pull is eTcrted on the projecting
spokcs of the larger wheel on the side
toward the energized coils, with abso-
lutely no attraction after the centre is
passed. The tendency is for the mag
nets and attracted spokes to continu-
ally approach each other, and as fresh
magnets and spokes are constantly
coming under the drawing power the
wheel continues to revolvc as long as
the energizing current is supplied.
