Among those who delivered addresses
or welcome ut the assembling in Wash

Hill pointed out that disease is an enc

that man has exterminated the grOSser

NEW VOTING MACHINE
An Automatic Device For Cast
ing AL Ballots.
VOTE OF EACH SEX KEPT APART.
Kansas City Inventor Claims His Ap-
State Laws-A Separate Door Pro-
vfded For women-Other Features
Of the Contrfvance.

Oh the COntrlNuuce.
Z. r. Winslow Of Kansas City, Mo-,
has on exhibition in the Fullerton
| building at st. Louis voting machine
which he has patented, says the Globe
Democrat of that city. Mr.. Winslow
sbrought his machine to st. Louis be-
sause he had heard much OF elections
khere and thought some automatic de-
vice might be needed.
The appearance OF the machine. with
the booths which constitute part OF
the contrivance, is quite attractive.
HardwoOds, highly polished, are used.
Steel, aluminium and other rigid ma
terials are employed in the cOnstruc-
tion of the machine proper, which iii
its working very much resembles
big cash register or an adding machine.
The machine registers and counts
automatically as cast the vote for each
candidate; ii also registers and counts
the, votes for or against any special
proposition, such as u constitutional
amendment, etc. 1t counts and regis
ters as cast the total number OF votes
cast by voters OF each party and at.
the same time shows the total number
OF votes cast by all who have entered
the booths and have voted. Visible
registers at all times show just how
many have entered the booth, how
many have voted. and, to enable the
separation OF man or woman, two
separate dials present the figures as to
each.
The inventor claims that his machine
can be readily and quickly adjusted for
class voting. for minority representa-
tion voting, cumulative voting and for
restricted voting. where. as in Kansas.
certain officers are voted for. by tire
women. while they are not permitted to
vote for certain OF ers. such as pResi-
Dental electors. G -sssmen, etc. LAS
each voter enters the booth q lever un-
locks the: keys, which are operated by
the voter '"cash register fashiOn"-by
pushing them. When key Is pushed,
al other corresponding keys on oppos-
ing tickets become locked. The key,
once pushed In, is also locked until the
next voter enters the booth. This pre-
vents the repeating OF vote. To
guard against possible manipulation
when key Is touched all the others on
the same row become locked. but the
registering apparatus does not operate
until the whole Of the ticket has been
voted and the voting key itself been
locked by the entrance Of another vot-
ler. The women enter by a door pro-
Aeided for them. and their vote likewise
y}as kept apart and registered separately
fnsom those east by the men.
In order To facilitate the casting OF a
ballot the straight party tickets are ar
ranged side by side. and each has a
separate color, which can be followed
leasily by the voter. who would find 1t
next to impossible TO make a mistake.
However, voter may scratch" a
ticket. and for this is provided an extra
Suw, with blank slips for convenience.
Mr.. Winslow claims that unless the
~ >hine Is Intentionally injured by a
while in the booth 1t cannot fail
to work. Heavy penalties are inflicted
for a misdemeanor Of this character.
q The inventor has spent ten years per-
his machine.

Passing of the Cable Car.

A few years ago the cable system OF
street car propulsion was considered
decidedly the best, but since the in
vention of the trolley system the cable
is being rapidly replaced, and many
experts now claim that compressed air
will eventually be the street car power
of the future. I'm all lines of industry
we see improvements being made, but
in medicine there is one remedy that is
impossible to improve upon, and that
is Hostetter's Stomach Bitters. 1t will
not fail to cure dyspepsia, indigestion,
soul stomach, constipation, liver and
kidney troubles, or malaria, fever and
ague. Take it at the first symptom of
any of these diseases and it will give
prompt relief. Be sure and get the
genuine.

FRIDAY. FEBRUARY 2S, 1902
THE FUSION CONVENTIONS.

The Carson Appeal of a recert date
declares in favor of Reno as the place
Tor holding this years fusion conven-
ton and gives what it alleges to be
reason in support of the declaration.
The Appeal asserts that the conven-
ton, if held in Winnemucca, will be
a proxy affair. This, of course. is
merely an assertion, not a reasonable
conclusion. No reasons are given why
there should be more delegates repre-
scented by proxies in the convention if
it were held in Winnemueca than
there would if Reno should be the
place chosen.
The Silver State claims that the re-
verse of the Appeals claim is true.
Winnemucca is in the center of the
State and the pro rata of distance trav-
eled by delegates would be less in
coming to this place than if they went
10 Reno. To make the point clearer,
il all the delegates elected were to at
tend the convention the average num-
would be less to Winnemucca than to
Reno.
For instance, there were 1873 dele
gates in the last Democratic State con-
vention and of these sixty-eight were
from ap1ntiaS in tho aa-faa1 and =,
trail parts of the State. The proportion
in the Silver party convention was
practically the same two years ago and
will hold good for the fusion conven-
ton this year. To repeat, Winnemucca
is a more accessible point than Reno
for over half of the delegates who will
be chosen to that convention, This
is a plain, u~ndisputaole fact, and can
be veriefied by anyone who will take
the trouble to satisfy himself. Why,
then, shou d here he more proxies in a
convention in Winnemueca than one
in Reno? 1t is moi a reasonable sup
position.
The Appeal also claims that Reno,
which it styles the enemy's country, "
would be the proper place to hold the
convention for political reasons, but
again this is mere assertion, with no
proof. The place of holding the con
vention can have but little effect po-
litically.
AS the last two conventions have
been held in the "enemys country"
would it not be wiser for political
reasons to hold one occasionally in the
section of the State which furnishes
the bulk of the votes for the fusion
ticket?
The opposition to Winnemucca, as
near as can be a~scertained, seems TO be
because certain candidates consider
their chances for nomination better
in Reno than Dere. Perhaps the APP
peal is championing Reno for this rea-
con. II so, those selfish considerations
should be overruled by the central
committees. The question of candl-
dates should have no weight.
The silver State has no candidates
to boom nor axes to grind. Its opposi-
ton 70 Reno is only on account of ths
fact that that place had the conven,
tons in 1898 and is not entitled t,
them this rear.
WiDnemucca had the conventions II
1892 and it rants them this year be
cause il is entitled TO them from every
consideration which is worthy o
weight in determining the choice.

CONDENSED TELEGRAMS.

A State irrigation congress is being
held in Salt Lake City. Delegates rep
resenting nearly every county in Utah
are in attendance.
Memorial services in honor of the
late President Mckinley were held in
the House of Representatives yester-
day. Secretary of State Hay delivered
the eulogy.
1t is understood that the United
States will soon take steps to obtain
a reimbursement Of the sum-, $I2,200,
paid to the brigands as a ransom for
Miss Stone and Nine. Tsilka, holding
Turkey responsible, inasmuch as the
capture of the missionaries was ef-
fected on Turkish soil.
A Washington dispatch says that
there is reason to believe that no re-
Spouse whatever is likely to be made
to the letter of Northumberland
Tillman of south Carolina to the
President requesting him to
his acceptance of the invitation to
present a sword to Major Micah Jen-
kins at Charleston. 1t is believed that
the incident will result in President
Roosevelt not attending the Charles
ton exposition.

PAINE'S CELERY
COMPOUND
Does a WOndrOuS Work for a Lady
Who Was Almost CraZed
With Pain and
Suffering.

1t is we'll konwn that terrible rheu-
matism, sciatica, and neuralgia cause
more helplessness, acute suffering and
agony, than any of the other diseases
that atfiict humanity. The great medic
inal virtues of Paine's Celery Com
specific for the cure of all forms of
rheumatism and neuralgia. Thousands
of strong testimonial letters from the
most prominent people of the land,
prove that Paine's Celery Compound
banished these terribly fatal troubles
when all other treatment has failed.
Mrs. Margaret Bethel. of Brainerd,
Mimi, after thirty years of agonizing
tortures had a desire to end her life,
if it was the will of Heaven; she almost
prayed for the time to lay it down.
Heaven directed, she made use of
Paine's Celery Compound, and is enjoy
ing true life once more. She says:
For thirty years l have been q great
sufferer from neuralgia in the head,
and also with rheuma tism in the whole
body. I began taking Paine's Celery
Compound and soon found l was much
better. Before taking the compound,
my life was such a burden that l al
most prayed to lay it down. l was bed
fast every two weeks with horrible
pains in the head, back and neck, until
was almost craZed. / am able to do
harder work and more of it to-day than
for twenty-five years. l am really en-
joying life again, thanks to Paine's
Celery Compound. 1 am satisfied that
my life has been prolonged many years
by its use"

CONVICTED OF FALSE PRErENsE.
Spartanburg Dentist Sold Mortgage
Glen 80 Secure Bond.

SpartanburR Dentist Sold Mortgage
Glen to Secure Bond.
Columbia, S. c., June 27.-The most
important case before the court of ses-
sions now in session at Spartanburg
was that of DR.. S. S. Daniel a promi-
nent dentist of that place, charged
with false pretense. Daniel was con-
victed and recommended to the mercy
Of the court. Judge Watts denied a
motion for new trial and sentenced
Daniel to pay fine of $3.50 and serve
fifteen months in the penitentiary or
on the changing. After sentence was
passed Daniel Immediately gave bond
pending an appeal to the State Su-
preme Court.
Some months ago Morgan Reeves,
white, was arrested on a magistrates
warrant, and to avoid going to Jail
Reeves arranged with DIR. Daniel to
go on his bond. To indemnify himself
against loss, Daniel required Reeves
to give him a mortgage for $210 on a
tract of land owned by Reeves. The
case against Reeves was dismissed
but the mortgage still remained in DR..
Daniels possession. Some time after
wards DR.. Daniel assigned this mort
gage to the Andrews Music and Furni-
ture Company of Charlotte, N. c., for
a piano said to be valued at $3.50
Reeves prosecuted Daniel for obtaining
goods under false pretenses, charging
that the mortgage represented in the
transaction was worthless.

ROBBED BY FRUIT BROKER.

Smooth swindIer Gets in Work on
VaIdo~yza Merchants and Farmer
John WEMts of 0usIey.
Vald0sta, Ga. June 27.-The swind-
ling fruit brokers who usually infest
this section of country every year
about melon-shlpping time have put in
their appearance and there are several
victims already. One of the first was
Mr.. John Willis. of the Ousley district,
who bit at the bait thrown out by one
Nixon, alleged TO be representing the
Charleston Fruit Company. Nixon
first came to Valdosta and sold lot
of bananas and other fruits to the
merchants here and then had himself
identified" at one of the banks where
he had his draft cashed. Fruit which
he sold has not turned up yet and the
buyers have ceased to look for ii, as
the drafts which were cashed at their
instance have been presented to them
for payment.
From here Nixon is said to have
gone to Ousley station, where he
bought a carload of melons which had
already been loaded for another party.
He gave his check to Mr.. Willis, who
said the check was as bright and pref
ty as any he ever saw. Nixon alleged
that the Citizens Bank of Valdosta
would cash the check, which was
drawn on the Empire Bank of Charles
ton. Neither bank would honor the
draft and Mr.. Willis jumped on the
train and went to Charleston to inves-
tigate matters.
One of the first men he ran against
in that city was the fruit buyer, who
apologized for the trouble which had
been caused him. and assured him that
everything would be all right in the
afternoon. He even got a boarding
house for Willis and assured him thai
the trip should cost him nothing. That
afternoon Willis returned to his place
of business and found nothing do
ing" Nixon had moved out and could
be found nowhere. Willis has turned
the matter over to a lawyer and If
there is any way to reach Nixon he
will be handled.
The farmers in the Southern part of
the state have been robbed of thou
sands of dollars by irresponsible fruit
brokers. but they have been too
shrewd in recent years to be picked up
by them. Nixon, however appears to
be far above the average in shrewdness
himself.

a Terrible Tragedy would Have

lev, n Former Resident of Glass
cock, Killed at Adrian.
Gibson. Ga, June 27.-On yesterday
evening the news came to our little
town that Mr.. S. H. Harris, promi-
nent young planter living just out from
town. had killed one negro and serious
" wounded another. Several of Mr..
Harris friends left at once for his
home to investigate the matter, which
they did, and to say the least of it. no
more premeditated plan has ever come
TO light in Glascock county than the
one laid by two negro men and three
negro women, residents of this county,
TO exterminate a whole family of white
people at one time in the open daylight
than that planned by these negroes.
They had mad some words with Mr..
Harris in his cotton field, to which but
little attention was paid by Mr.. Har-
ris. They left the cotton patch, went
to their homes, secured a gun and all
of them went direct to the home OF
Mr.. Harris, where he and his wife and
two little children were sitting on the
porch. Mr.. Harris hailed them and
asked what they were going to shoot.
They replied that they were going to
shoot anything that they might run
I'D against Mr.. Harris ran in the
house, procured Winchester shotgun
and a 3S pistol and upon return he
was met with load of shot. He went
out into the yard and returned the
fire, hitting his man, who took to his
heels, together with the three women.
He wheeled, and a negro was enter
ing into his yard gate with an open
knife within six feet of him. Harris
shot this negro three times, killing MIN
on the spot.
1t is very singular that the negroes
would not touch the dead man at any
time or go around him. Not even his
wife would go near him. and the white
people had to bury him.
The coroner's jury returned verdict
of justifiable homicide. 1t is miracle
that Mr.. Harris should have come out
of the fray without a scratch.
Mr.. P ]. Darby, once a resident OF
this county, and who has many rela-
tives here, was shot at Adrian We'd
nesday and died yesterday. No partic-
ulars of the ARRAY are known here.

Atlanta, June 27.-Controller General
w. A. Wright has called on the Central
of Georgia Railway Company to in
crease its tax returns by 81. 800 900. The
officials of the company, who have the
matter in charge, have practically re-

only to the main line from Atlanta to
Savannah and the Americas division.
The Central has returned the Savan-
nah and Macon divisions at $4,000 per
mile and Controller Wrights thinks the
Savannah division is worth $4,000 per
mile. ard that the Atlanta division is
worth $4,000 per mile. He is also of
the opinion that the railroad should in
crease its return OF the Americas d.
vision from $4,000 per mile to $4,000
per mile. This. however, President
Egan has not yet agreed to.
The Central also returned the value
of it's engines at $4,000 each and Con-
troller Wright is inclined to the opin-
ion that they are worth $4,000 each.
The returns of the roads other prop
critics have been accepted.
