Undismayed by the reports of

the following prediction:
81 will predict that President
Wilson and the entire demo-
cratic ticket in 1916 will be
elected with landslide.
While we have lost few rep
resentatives, we have gained
two senator's. We have gained
Tennessee, but lost New York.

he argued against the party. It
was purely a local fight and a
light on Tammany. Glynn was
lieutenant governor under Sui
zer, and the fight was on him.
"The result cannot be taken as
an indication of the outcome in
the 1916 election. Though we
may lose twenty-eight represent
atives in the house, it must be
remembered we had a majority
there of about one hundred and
twenty, and with the reported
loss, we would still have a tre-
mendous majority"

SIX MEN BURNED.
To DEATH IN BIC.
TENEMENT BLAZE.
(By Associated Press.)

NEW YORK, Nov. Six men were
burned to death in a fire which broke
out in an Eighth avenue tenement
house this morning. In addition to
the six dodgers who lost their lives
several more were painfully burned
mad injured in jumping from the win
dows.
The fire was discovered early in the
morning when one of the lodgers in
the house was awakened by smoke
The alarm was sounded and the in
mates began to swarm out of the
burning structure. The six men who
lost their lives were sleeping on the
top floor and all escape was cut off by
the flames. Firemen made desperate
attempts to rescue these men but all eff
forts were fruitless.

That Uncle Sam expects to do land
Office business this Christmas is the
opinion of Postmaster Fred Daven-
port, who yesterday received from
Washington instruction for handling
the Christmas rush.
The Americus Office is we'll equipped
to care for any extra rush of business.
Special service will be inaugurated
during the holiday season to further
increase the efficiency of the local Of
fee.
Here is the text of the letter receiv-
ed from Postmaster General Burle-
soa:
notwithstanding the Oppressive eff
feet of the European war, the num-
her of parcels handled by the parcel
post has increased amazingly in re-
cent months, it is estimated, and re-
cord business, therefore, is expected
during the Christmas season.
Postmasters are particularly eau
toned to take action in advance
which will prevent congestion in post
office Hobbies caused by delay in the
preparing of insured, c. o. D. and reg
istered parcels for acceptance.
Though each postmaster is allowed
the discretion to take whatever steps
are best adapted to local conditions.
the postmaster general asks that the
public be urged, by means of placards
placed in the postoffice lobbien and
through articles in the local news
papers to obtain in advance the tags
which must be filled out and attach
ed to insured, C. o. D., and regis
tered parcels. If these tags are filled
out and attached to the parcels in ad-
vance it will result in a great saving
of time, not only to the postal en-
ployes, but to the patrons of the postal
service
Attention is also invited to the
necessity of having parcels properly
wrapped and addressed. In the latter
connection, it should be remembered
that the address of the sender must

appearance of German warships off
the English coast is causing much dis
cussion in this country today. There
is disposition among naval men to
believe that no serious naval raid was
intended, but that the Germans hoped
to induce British warshops to follow
them, and, by laying mines, as they re-
tired, to catch some of the bigger ships
as they did the submarine D-5.
Official reports of the fighting on
land as issued today recorded only
advances at various points and re-
pulses of the enemy's attacks at 9TH
ers. There is in fact no great change
in the situation, according to these re-
ports. 1t is definitely announced that
the Germans have given up their posi-
tions along the User river having been
driven out there by the flooded coun-
try and the gun fire of the Allied
troops and warships.

ferably upon the upper left-hand cor
ner. Tags should be securely fastened
and all parcels must be presented at
the pCsSoffice window or to rural car
riers and not placed in the ordinary

1t is foreseen that huge number
of Christmas packages containing per-
ishable matter will be presented for
insurance. They must be properly
packed. Attention is called to the re-
Gently amended postal regulations on
this subject. They read:
Butter, lard and perishable articles,
such as fish, fresh meats, dressed
fowls, vegetables, fruits, berries and
articles of a similar nature which
decay quickly, when so packed or
wrapped as to prevent damage to
other mail matter, shall be accepted
for local delivery either at the office
Of mailing or on any rural route star
ing therefrom. When enclosed in an
inner cover and a strong outer cover
of wood, metal or heavy corrugated
pasteboard, they will be accepted for
mailing to all offices, to which in the
ordinary course of mail, they can be
delivered.

NEAR COMPLETION BRIDGES
ON SUMTER'S HIGHWAYS
Structures Next Week
Bridges Are Finished and Approa Nearly Being
Pushed Other Concrete Bridges Highway

The two splendid concrete structures
spanning Muckalee and Town creeks.
almost within the city limits of Amer
icus, will be finally opened to traffic
next week, according to the statement
OF Supt. H. T. Christian this morning.
In fact, both the bridges, erected by
Sumter county at a cost of $4,000,
are entirely finished, and only the
work of building the street approach
at the east end, and raising the grade
between the two bridges, remains to
be completed.
Supt. Christian now has a large force
of convicts employed on the road work.
and in less than weeks time, he
states, the bridges will be thrown open
to traffic.
The handsome and substantial ap-
pearance of these mammoth structures
of steel and concrete reflect the WIS.,
dom of the county commissioners in
replacing the old wooden bridges SPAN
ming Muckalee and Town creeks with
enduring ones that will require no
repairs. Now that the bridges are
finished there is nothing more to be
DONE Unlike the wood bridges, no
repairs will be required, and the con-
crete structures, are, therefore, far
cheaper in the end.
These two bridges are on the Amer
cus-Plains-Smithville highway, per.
haps the most Travelled of any of
Sumter's good roads and stand as a
splendid attest to her good roads build
ing.
The contractor, Mr.. J. H. Scruggs,
of Birmingham, having finished this
important work near Americas, is al
ready pushing to completion two sim
liar structures on the Americus-
SmithviIle highway, spanning Bear
creek and Muckaloochee, both con-
siderable streams. These bridges,
Supt. Christian stated today, will be
finished by Christmas or very soon
as the work is progressing
rapidly under the personal supervision
Of Contractor Scruggs.
A considerable working force will
be required there to grade the ap-
proaches to these new bridges, which
will be above the level of the former
old ramshackle wooden affairs, which
were constant danger and menace to
life and property. These new bridges
have a clear width of eighteen feet
roadway and are of considerable
length. With these two structures
opened by the end of the year, Sumter
county will have four concrete bridges
Of which she may be proud.
They cost some money, it is true, but
anything worth having costs money,
and substantial, well-built bridges are
less expensive in the end.
Only a few days ago, it will lie re-
called a team of mules and wagon
load of cotton bales crashed through
one of Sumter's obsolete wooden
bridges at Kinchafoonee creek, endan-
gering the lives of three negroes, and
of the valuable mules as we'll. Sum-
.er has other bridges as dangerous that
should be replaced with steel and con-
srete bridges at once
