FINISH or FIGHT IN
SUMTER AT LAST,
Struggle of a Year Ended
Yesterday.
SUMTER POLLS UNUSUAL VOTE
County and City Precints Show lar
ger Vote Than Expected-Friends of
Candidates Worked Increasingly
Until Polls Closed

With the closing of the polls here at
6 O'Clock yesterday AFTERNOON the
warmest political battle waged in Sum
ter county for years came to an end.
1t was titanic struggle as between
Howell and Smith, Lewis and HugheP,
hotIy waged to the last moment.
The gubernatorial and congressional
contest absorbed ell attention, and the
friends of CLARK Howell and Hoke
Smith, e. b Lewis and Dudley Hugh
es, worked as never before.
In go previous election here has
such interest been evinced
And while the vote will not be con-
solidated until noon today, thus show
ing the official result in the county, it
is generally conceded that Hon. Hoke
Smith and Hon. Dudley M. Hughes
have carried the county by a small
plurality.
This was f0recasted early in the
afternoon yesterday by unofficial re-
ports received from the several county
precincts.
Up TO late hour only half dozen
OF the several county precincts had
thus been heard from, while the result
at the courthouse was only guessed at
in general way.
The vote cast here in the city was
really larger than expected, the total
reaching 707. The counting of the bal
lots began shortly after the polls closed
at SIX O'Clock, but owing to the large
array of names upon the ticket was
exceedingly slow.
In fact,l was thought the clerks and
managers would thus be engaged half
the night.
Voting during the morning hours
was very spirited and by II o'clock 500
ballots were safely in the box. Then
came lull of an hour, only to be fol-
lowed by more spirited work.
Friends of Howell and Smith, Lewis
ard Hughes were especially active.
Tab was kept upon the voters as they
came to the polls, and when the "faith-
fui" did not show up soon they were
sent for. Throughout the day good
order and good feeling prevailed.
Later in the afternoon, when an oc-
c8sional report from a country district
was received, interest increased to a
marked degree.
Ia the county nearly 1000 voters
vera registered. and the fact that 797
ballots were cast at the courthouse here
indicates full vote in Sumter. But
not until the returns are consolidated
this morning will the official figures be
| known.
The executive committee will assem-.
BILE at 10 o'clock this morning, and an
nounce the result.
The Result in Americus.

In his uncomfortable ambition to
become great William Randolph
| Hearst resorts to unreasonable and
contemplate methods to injure those
who may stand in his way. He is the
owner of the Cosmopolitan magazine
and has employed David Graham
Philips, a cheap writer to write what is
entitled, The Treason of the Senate and
in the July number of the magazine
this hack attacks the honor and pa
triotsm of Senator Joseph w. Bailey,
of Texas. He charges the senator with
being the head of a political machine
4 Texas, which he states is worse
than than the Republican machine i'll
Pennsylvania. This charge every one
who knows anything of Texas politics
knows to be untrue. There is no state
in the union that is clearer and cleaner
than Texas. The state is made up of
people who would not tolerate ma
chine politicsr Her public men are
Dove the modern machine methods
nd the man who would attempt TO
boss them would soon meet his end.
The charges made by this "muck
rakern that Bailey had connived with
state officials in admitting the Waters
Pierce Oil Company to the state after
it had been expelled was investigated
by the Legislature and Bailey was not
olly exonerated but at the same ses-
on elected to the United States Sen
ate which position he has since held
with honor and satisfaction to his
state.
The charge that he got 5000, 900 from
corporation in Texas as fee for pro
f9ssional services does Bailey no harm.
W e have KIN own many men who have
earned and received larger fees than
that and this case only shows
that Bailey has ability and that the
public appreciates his talent.
1It is nothing either. to the discredit of
Senator Bailey that he bought
large plantation in Texas, and sold it
at big advance. The transaction was
legitimate and honorable and one tina
Mr.. Hearst would gladly siezs if the
opportunity comes his way.

When you play with me in round
numbers you put up 800 against that
| put up 500 Now figure how long
you can keep dong this. You may
win my money now and then, you
may break me temporarily, but as
long as you play against me at the
odds of 100 TO 80 in the end I'll have
your money"
That is the way Richard A. Garfield
the big New York gambler, puts the
gaming proposition. He ought to
know.
Garfield is reputed to have made So
600, 900 in the gambling business. 1t
is said he has not personally touched
card in twenty years. He intrusts the
business of his establishment to sub
or linates and relies with mathematical
certainty upon the returns.
Garfield puts it very plainly. If
you go into the gamblers game he has
100 chances to your 80, ten chances to
your nine. If you stay in the game
long enough-and the majority of the
players do-he will yet your money.
1t is simply science, skill and luck
pitted with absolute certainty. The
res alt sklown rom the beginning
That is where the average man who
CANDLES makes fundamental mistake,
He imagines that good fortune will
beat the law of mathematics. He bets
on the theory that good playing and
luch will enable him to overcome the
stubborn fact that ten is one more than
nine.
Garfield says what everyone ought
t. know; When you 20 up against the
tmblers game it is not game of
chance at all. Oh Il e has nothing to do
with it. 1t is fin tncial robbery done
scientifically.
Gambler Canfields frank statement
will have little effect, however, There
will always be the man who fancies he
can change into a bigger figure than
10.
