State is Held Responsible

when the state becomes the guar
dian of child it is supposed to look
after the moral, physical and mental
welfare of it's ward. In sickness the
state is supposed to see that proper
medical attention is given to the
child. This was done in this case.
I have no precedent to follow, except
a precedent which l set seven or
eight years ago when l ordered an
operation on boys brain without the
parents consent and against their
wishes The boys life was saved, and
| am hopeful that little Joe will live
to become a good and useful citizen,
even if he has only one arm
Warden Happel said that there was
a splendid chance that little Joe
would recover from the operation He
declares that the prospect of legal
proceedings by the father against
himself or the physicians who per-
formed the operation was not wor-
rying him any. The physicians in the
case said they thought they were fully
protected in their action.

WHITE VOTE is DOUBLE
THAT OF THE BLACKS
Sumter Will Respond With
Usual Vote.

Eighteen hundred and seventy-five
white voters and 975 colored, is the
total registration in Sumter county
for the forthcoming county and state
election, a total registration of 1850
qualified voters who will take part in
deciding the issues" pending.
Tax Collector l. B. Small has clos
ed the registration books for the state
election, and the above result has
been announced.
The board of registrars are now
going over the lists of voters in the
usual thinning" process.
The registrars, Messrs. ] G. Fea-
gain, J. E. Stewart, and J. N. Scar
borough, will go carefully over the
lists of white and colored voters and
purge them of any names illegally re-
gistered. Many may have registered
who, for cause, are not thus entitled
This week will be completed before
the date of the October election.
Quite recently the registration of.
negro voters has been heavy, owing
to the desire to vote against the dis
franchisement measure, and in this
wholesale registration may be found
many disqualified voters.
Comparatively few white voters
have registered during the past few
months; in fact, since the state prim-
airy in June last. That election
brought out the full white vote of the
county, and few others have remained
to be registered.
The greatest interest, aside from
the election of the regular state
ticket, lies in the result of the dis
franchisement feature The negroes
are going to vote against it solidly,
while probably many white voters
will, for reasons, oppose it also.
Many of the colored voters, it isl
said, will vote the state democratic
ticket, only opposing disfranchise-
ment

Negro Party in Cuba.

Havana, Sept 22.-The organization
of negro party in Cuba, strictly with
in the provisions of the electoral law,
has created an extraordinary sensa-
ton, this being the first time the
negroes have taken such a step in
Cuba. According to General Estenoz' s
letters to Crowdes, they intend to
present candidates, not only for all
vacant places in the senate and house
but for president and vice president
of the republic.
Ppblic opinion attaches much inn
portance to the fact that the negro
party chooses a horse as its sign to
be placed on the ballot which is gen.
orally construed as revolutionary
threat.
