REQUIRED FOR BARBECUE
Occasion viii BE Be Greater Than
Estimated.

When the candidatal barbecue was
first suggested, and happy idea it
was, the candidates agreed to con-
tribute one porker each, or total of
thirty hogs. This was considered
ample, but now that the list of invita-
ton has been SO greatly extended it
may be necessary to largely increase
the quantity of meats. Baskets will, of
course, supplement the dinner, but an
amount something like $50 or $75 for
the purchase of other supplies may be
needed. Americas is going to enter
tain royalty, and there must be an
abundance and to spare. Quite likely
the executive committee may have a
surplus of cash, after deducting cleo.
ton expenses in which event they will,
no doubt, gladly contribute this to the
barbecue fund, inasmuch as the money
was collected from the candidates and
the barbecue is their occasion.

A TICKET AS LONG
AS. A YARD STICK.
A String of Names Appear
Thereon.
LONGEST LIST IN a PRIMARY.
Sumter's Voters Will Read Through
Maze of Names Before Select
ing Their Favorites Details of EIe-
ction Rapidly Arranged.

When the able Sumter voter comes up
to the polls one week from today and
grasps ticket he will be puzzled at the
array of names confronting him, aud
will want time for reflection ere he
drops it into the box.
For the ticket voted in this primary
is going to be the longest ever.
A half hundred names will crowd the
long, narrow slip of paper, including
the entire list of candidates from gov
ernor down to coroner.
At the top will appear the names of
Gov. Terrell and all the statehouse Of
fcers, none Of whom have opposition.
Then comes those of the supreme court
judges and, in this county, that of
Judge Littlejohn, for this circuit.
Next, quite, likely, Will appear the
names Of Congressman f.. B. Lewis,
senators and representatives.
Then the county officers will join the
procession, and it is right there the
voter will begin to use his pencil in
striking the names of those he does
not want and leaving the others.
And this feature is going to req lire
work and thought, that NO mistakes
will be made.
The names of candidates for any
single office, for instance that of county
treasurer, appear in line, and the voter
will mark out any four of these and
leave the one of his choice. And thus
it will go through the whole list.
Wherever more than one name is left
on the ticket for any one Office, all will
be thrown out and the vote not count
ed for any of them.
And the counting of the tickets will
consume a whole lot of time.
In truth, owing to the long list OF
candidates and the fact that every
name must be called over by the man
ayers, 1t will probably be next day ere
the result is definitely known. A i the
tickets cannot be ,un-ed before mid
night.
At the equity precints the polls close
at o'clock, AID the result there will
be easily ascertained.
But here in the city precinct, where
a thousand votes will be cast, the coun-
ting will tx end far into the night
possibly into tho next day, as was the
case here once seY ersl ears ago when
heavy vote was cast ia the county.
However, the registration this time
is the heaviest ever known, l,75O, al d
both the voters and the candidates are
gong to be extremely busy Wednesday.

The glad hand will be given to al

Amerlcus and the candidatal hosts
are preparing for the multitude, anC
there will be plenty and to spare. The
feast spread at Magnolia Dell will be
the most sumptuous ever enjoyed bJ
people of this section.
The tables Will groan, the band will
play, and the occasion will be one O
general good cheer and of fraterna
greeting.
Every thing connected Herewith in
sures its complete success.
The committee here, representing
the candidates, are working system
atically to that end, and the word fail
ure is not in their vocabulary. They
are going to make it the greatest sue
cess of the year in south Georgia.
And every visitor coming will fnt

Dragging along at a price a little
above IA cents the cotton market is
wholly uninteresting except possibly to
the holder of several bales of ''spot"
who failed to let go at the crest of the
wave. A warehouseman said yesterday
there were probably 500 bales still held
in Americue, one farmer alone owning
nearly hundred of these. In view of
the prospect for bumper" crop this

now in position to play a waiting

DO YOU Get
YOUR DIVIDENDS ANNUALLY?

A great many Life Insurance Com
panies are pushing deferred dividend
policies, upon which a dividend will be
paid twenty years provided you have
lived that long and have paid all the
premiums required up to that time. If
you should die one day before the twen-
ty years is up, or should you cancel your
policy before that time, you forfeit all
your dividends.
l will write you a similar policy if you
desire, but the best policy for you is
one that divides the surplus every year,
By this plan you get your share as it
is earned and you know what your COM
pany is doing.
By the other plan you are kept in the
dark twenty years, and mag not live to
get the dividends.
1 will tell you shortly in this space
about some of our dividends in Amer
icus.

 1. Maintenance of ejectment; estoppel of mortgagor-Where the owners of land executed a first and second mortgage thereon. and upon default there Is a foreclosure by both of said mortgagors, the mortgagors are estopped to dispute the title which they conveyed by their second mortgage; and in an action of eJectment against the mortgagors, by the purchaser at said foreclosure sale for the property conveyed in the mort gages, the plaintiffs show a title suf1- cient to base a recovery by proving and introducing in evidence a deed from the second mortgagor to him, as purchaser at the foreclosure sale.
 2. Execution of written instrument by corporations; proof of execution; admissi- ble in evidence.-When a corporate seal appears to be affixed to an instrument, and the signature of the proper officers of the corporation are proven, courts will presume that the officers had the authority which they exercised, and the seal itself is prima facie evidence that 1t was affixed by proper authority; and such instrument. upon such proof.

The Chair Suited at Last.

A furniture dealer tells a little story that shows how some people are con stituted. A laGy ordered an elegant easy chair of q peculiar kind. It was made and sent to ner house. She examined 1t carefully and critically, finally remark ing that 1t suited her exactly with one exception-it was too soft
 She sent the chair back to be made a trifle harder. It was returned to the shCp and put aside. Nothing was done to .t. After a lapse of about a week the chair was sent out again.
 The lady again examined 1t and now found it was too hard. She was sorry, but when she paid so much to get an article for her own comfort she wanted 1t just right; so she sent it back to the shop for another change
 The chair was again put aside for a week or ten days and sent out for the third time without the least alteration. This time it was just right. She took the chair, paid for 1t and was sorry 1t had not suited her at first. Tine poor woman never knew that the chair mad not been changed d particle.
