Rivalry of Jones Brothers.

Washington Post: VIM A. Jones,
Commissioner of Indian Affairs, has
two brothers, one of whom, recently
completed years tour of the con-
have furnished remarkable chain
of unique condolences. They had to
flip coppers for first honors in the
centennial class at Princeton. They
are both Chicago lawyers-one of
them with a big practice and the
other devoting large part of his
time to his zinc factory.
When the ll2 members OF the 1875
class at Princeton finished the course,
the two Jones brothers headed the
entire class and stood exactly even.
The situation was perplexing and
embarrassing to the university au-
thorities Ex-District Attorney Har-
ry e. Davis and others of this city
were fellow-classmen and watched
the method of adjusting the unique
situation, "a method that has farely
been resorted to in college quarters
to determine a question Of scholastic
merit. David b. and Thomas ID. were
the brothers. and the former, who
was the elder, won on the flip and
accordingly delivered the latin salu-
tatory, the next honors being assigned
to his brother.

GREAT INTEREST IN ELECTION.
People Generally Express Much Graft
fcation Thereat.

The result of the recent election here
was q matter of interest not only in
Americas but to the press and people
of the state as we'll. Many kilograms
were received yesterday morning from
former citizens who had moved else
where, as we'll as from newspapers,
asking information regarding the cleo
ton And it is the conceLsus of opin-
ion Ithat Sumter acted wisely Gin re-
deeming herself from the corrupt reign
of blind tigerism and a condition that
made seller and purchaser alike violate
the law, state and moral. The only
concerns really hurt are the express
and railroad companies and the post
office, all of which are able to stand the
falling off in revenues. The express
and railroads earned thousands of dol
lars yearly during the past four years
handling whiskey to Americus from
Macon, OgIethorpe, Atlanta and other
wet places, while the postoffice did an
increased business here in It's money
order department. Hereafter liquor
will be shipped here as liquor, legitl-
mately, and not packed in drygoods
boxes as in the past The era of fraud
and deception is at an end.

sUMTER's VOTE IS CANvAssED
And Result Officially Declared By
Ordinary.

The executive committee of Sumter
county met yesterday morning for the
purpose of consolidating the vote in
the election of the day before and de-
claring the result of said election
officially.
The vote in all the districts of the
county, nine in number, is as follows:
Fifteenth. For the sale 1853; against
the sale rs.
New 10th. For the sale 30; against
the sale 10
Old 10th. For the sale s; against
the sale II.
Seventeenth. For the.sale 81, against
the sale 80.
New Goth. For the sale Il; against
the sale 80.
Old goth. For the sale "A; against
the sale 98
eth. (City) For the sale G85;
against the sale 41s.
28th. For the sale 90; against the
sale 36
Goth. For the sale 80; against the
sale 26.
The total vote cast in the election
was 1856, of which 1, 1870 were for the
sale and 756 against. The majority
for the ants was 314 votes.
This was lighter vote than was
expected. There were 1850 names
upon the revised registration list, and
some 900 qualified voters fell down or
declined to vote for some unknown
cause.
There was no disposition manifest
ed after the meeting of the committee
yesterday upon the part of the prohl
leaders to contest the election.
In fact, there was no ground what
ever upon which either a contest or de-
lay could have been based.
The election was fair and SO uare, and
the wet element are entitled to the
fruits of the victory they won. This
being true, Judge T, M. Allen, of the
court of ordinary, declared the result
officially.
This settles the question fully and
finally, and the election of 1902 is now
matter of history only.
