Early dispatches concerning elections I are always, to a marked degree, un certain. We give below, however, a brief summary of the results in various States as indicated by dispatohes this rooming: New York City-McClellan, Dem., is eloeted mayor over Seth Low.

The great number of seiious wreoks on various railroads throughout the country is making tho traveling sales man wear a worried look. In speaking on this subject rocontly ono of the pro fession stated that a few yoars ago ho loft his homo city to co vor his territory, fooling just as safo and comfortable as though ho wero ono of tho "homo guard" and romained at headquarters. Of lato, howovor, ho has boardod each train with fear and trembling, feeling that until ho reached his destination his lifo was in jeopardy. Why this should bo the caso, wo fail to soo. True, tho railroads uro doing a business lar gol y in excess of thoir business a few years ago, but this fnct should bo an incentivo to greater precaution against accident and consequent loss of lifo and proporty. It would seem that tho expense of double tracks, and moro trains and ad ditional crows to operate them, would bo far less thau tho cost of suit after suit for damages arising from accidents that appear to bo little less than crimi nal. The roads are congested with pas senger and freight trafilo about nine months in each year, trains aro lato and running on each ot lier's time, employees aro bewildered by ortlors and couuter or ders, and -Accidents result as a natural consequence. There is too much impor tance attached to tho making of big dividends, and too little thought given to tho lives hazarded in modern travel too much of tho desire on tho part of ono road to down ita competitor in point of business, no matter what tho risk. Timo was, whon wrecks woro few, that tho presidents and high officials woro tho first to go post hast e to tho sceno of a wreck. To-day they aro notified of a wreck, serious damage and probably loss of life. That ?B tho end of it, save an expression of rogrot aud mystery. Tho high officials are too busy looking after of her matters to stop for wrecks. During tho past ton yoars the cost of wrecks to the largo railway systems of this country, in wrecked trains and en gines, suits for damages and compro miso cases, has doubtless cost as much as it would to double-track the congested main lines and operato a sufiiciont num ber of trains to handle the trafilo and maintain accurato schedule timo, thus making wrecks almost an impossibility rather than a matter-of-fact ovory-day occurrence. Somo national legislation, looking to tho protection of lifo should be enact led, whereby tho railroad which outgrows tho single-track business may bo compelled to double-track its main lino and adopt | other measures for the protection of j those whoso lives aro in their caro. JOHN MURRAY DowiB, father of John Alexander Dowie, "Elijah ll," is said to bo heartbroken over his son's repudiation of him. It strikes us "lie ought to bo thankful for that." AT a distance of seventy milos, and after reading pretty fully both sides of tho controversy in the Greenwood-Bar num & Bailey trouble, it appears to us that Greenwood will do woll to oloct a now mayor at tho first opportunity. T. M. BATEMAN WSB last week Bent up for trial by tho United States Court for impersonating a revenue officer. That happened in Columbia. Strange! To impersonate a rcvonuo ofiicor in Oconoe, Bickens or Greenville counties would not bo a desirable pastime. PRESIDENT ROOSEVELT: has issued his annual proclamation setting apart Thursday, tho 26th day of November, as a day of national thanksgiving and praise to tho God of nations for tho many blessings we, as a nation and as individuals, havo recolvod. It is a time honored custom that should bo relig iously followed, and tho day should bo observed with solemn thanksgiving. FROM SOUTH AFRICA. New Way of Using Chamberlain's Cough Remedy. Arthur Chapman, writing from Dur ban, Natal, South Africa, says: "As a {?roof that Chamberlain's Cough Remedy s a cure suitable for old and young, pon you the fol?owing: A neighbor of mino had a child just over two months old. It had ?i vory bad cough and tho Fnrcnts did not know what to give it. suggested that if they would get a hot tlo of Chamberlain's Cough Remedy and put some upon tho dummy teat tho baby was sucking it would no doubt ?-ure the child. This tliuy did and brought about a quick relief and cured tho baby." This remedy is for sale by J. W. Boll, Wal halla; W. J. Lunney, Soneca. An important convention has jiiBt con cluded its sessions in Now Orleans.

Government oontrol of the levee system is also advocated. With a proper leveeing of the groat river it is estimated that 30,000 square miles of fertile lands would bo reola!mod. Mrs. Bacon Entertains ts? Onct-tWoek Club. Personal Mention. Seneca, November 8.- If rs. O. P. Bacon was tb? gracious hostess at a thorough Iv charming meeting of the Ouoe-a-VVeek Club laat Thumlay. After the usual literary program waa ?uiahed, tho mem bers wtro asked luto the dining room, where truly a feast for both body and soul met the oye. Th? oolor Boheme, pink aud white, wa? in striking evidence everywhere, the soft roae-hued lights, the piuk and white tapers, the napery, ohiua and refreahnieuta all boering out the delioate coloring. After the feast o? good thiugr,, the hostess introduoed a contest, which wa? heartily entered into. Tho prize was awarded to Mrs. Stokes Striming, who answered moat questious correctly. On next Friday afternoon, the Otb In staut, Miss Mary Abbott will display her handsome collect ion of chrysanthemums iu Seneoa, giviug all of our flower-loving citizens an opportunity of seeing them. She will use one of Mrs. Phillipe's rooms, near the post office, whloh will be easily accessible to all. The display will be on Friday afternoon and night and Satur day morning. All who nave soon Miss Abbott's chrysanthemums will know what a treat is in store for them, parti cularly as these beautiful autumn favor ites are so scarce this season. The out blooms will be on sale, ancfalroady orders are bel?g plaoed for these handsomo blooms. The enterprise will doubtless attract n liberal patronage. At the meeting of the Ladies' Aid aud Missionary Society of the Presbyterlau ohuroh last Monday, it was decided by tbo members to undertake the oomraond able work of clothing an orphan. As November ls the month set apart for especial Otterings to the orphans, the decision is most opportune, and it is to the great oredit of tbese members that the ont iii was contributed in a very few moments' time. The box will be packed and shipped from the Keowee Hotel two weeks from the dato of the above moot ing, giviug all the contributors ampio time to get ready the various articles of clothing neodfuf to perfect tho out iii. On last Friday evening Ooo. Bencdiot was the host at a most enjoyable f unc tion in the shape of a 'possum supper to bis men friends here. The preparations were perfeot, and the evident enjoyment of the guests bespoke the faot that Mr. Benediot understands perfectly the art of entertaining his frionds and there was also evidence of a "power behind the t hi ono," wLO understood the BOiOUOO of tickling the palate. Our citizens need not think that be cause t here has been nothing said in this column of late about that aforesaid humano soototy that tho subject is for gotten or hopelessly given up. It is true that there wore uovor any definite steps taken, but tho subject has received oom mout from a good many citizens. Only yostorday a roport was made to tho writer of sevora) instanoes where most brutal and inhuman treatment bad been used toward dumb brutes, and the names of tho patties wore also giveu. Con tinued and wanton abuse of this kind is a disgrace to any community, and it is a deplorable faot that drivers may bo al lowed to uso the public streets for the practice of suoh brutalities. unmolested and that those of us who fool the out rago most aro compelled to sit help, lessly and witness the inhuman prac . tices daily. There isn't necessarily a call for a meeting of citizens to form a socioty for the preveutiou of cruelty to animals, though such an organization wouldn't hurt, but if thero isn't an ordi nance which covers the grouud, giving protection in cases like the abovo, thoo in decency's namo let's have ono! Now that lhere aie so many handsome now houses just roaching the finished stage, and that bearing so closely upon the holidays, wo look to hear, in tho noar futuro, of house-warmings galore! Mrs. C.
