REPUBLIC
A REGULAR Lj
ROOSE
SOLID SOUTH ALONE
NEXT HOUSE REPUBLIC/
MAJO
Theodore Roosevelt Is to be the I
next president of the United States.
There has been a feeling all along1 that
this would be the result of yesterday's
election, and what remaining
doubt there may have been or. the
subject was dispelled before 8 o'clock
last night. At 9 o'clock the Democratic
headquarters in New York conceded
that the Republicans had carried everything
except the solid south. The
following received from the Charlotte
Observer this morning at 12.04 o'clock,
tells the story:
"Roosevelt has been elected by an
overwhelming majority. He has carried
everything but the solid south
and the indications are that Maryland
has gone for him also.
"At 8 o'clock last night Judge ' 'arker
telegraphed President Roo evelt
congratulating him on his ele tion,
and President Roosevelt replied: 'I
thank you for your congratulations.
"Indications point to a Republican I
majority of at least forty In the next
house of representatives.
"Parker's vote In northern states
was. in many instances, less than the
vote received by Mr. Bryan four years
ago.
"New York state gave Roosevelt
more than 200,000 plurality and Parker's
plurality in the Greater City was
less than forty thousand."
RESULT IN THE COUNTY.
Because of the lack of Interest In the
matter The Enquirer did not see
proper to go to the trouble an! expense
necessary to secure a dt .ailed
statement of yesterday's election In
York county In time for presentation
this morning.
Prom such returns as have been received
it appears that notwithstanding
the proposed constitutional amendment
questions pending before the people
the voting has been about the same
as four years ago, and that the total
will hardly reach 1,200 out of a registration
of about 4,300.
There being no contests for any of
the state or county offices, such interest
as there was centered in the proposed
constitutional amendments, and
of these but few people cared anything
except for the one relating to biennial
sessions. The indications are that all
, of the proposed amendments have
prevailed.
The total vote at the Yorkvllle precinct
was 170 in the Federal box and
175 in the state and county boxes.
Mr, Flnley received all the votes cast
for congress except one vote cast for
White in the presidential electors' box
and not counted. There were 16fi votes
for Parker electors and five for Roosevelt
electors.
On the proposed amendment relating
v to biennial sessions the vote was:
Yes, 76; no, 55. On the amendment
relating to municipal corporations the
vote was: Yes. 96; no, 22. On the
amendment relative to special legislation
the vote was: Yes, 108; no, 20.
On repealing sub-division ix of article
3. the vote was: Yes. 95; no, 25.
BUNGLING OF REGISTRATION.
It developed yesterday that the
York county registration books are In
a badly bungled condition, and as the
result quite a number of otherwise
properly qualified citizens were deprived
of their right to vote.
During the day no less than twentyfive
would-be voters were turned
away from the Yorkvllle precinct
alone, and telephone messages told of
the same condition of affairs in all
parts of the county.
The fault was not with the voter:
but is evidently with the county board
of supervisors of registration. People
who had certificates that were in all
respects bona fide wer; told by the
managers that their names did not appear
on the precinct books. At least
two voters had certificates that were
not numbered at all, and there were
no numbers on the books to correspond
with the certificates held by others.
In almost every case where the voter
had been transferred from one
county or one precinct to another,
there was trouble. The number In the
registration book corresponding with
the number of the transferred voters"

RITY.
registration certificate was found opposite
the name of some other voter,
and the name of the transferred voter
could not be found at all.
All the Individuals afTected by this
wholesale bungling are more or less
Indignant, and the extent of It has arroused
so much unfavorable comment
as to call for further Investigation.
The public will hardly be willing to
put up with such a situation as has
developed; but will no doubt insist
that the responsibility be fixed forthwith.
It also developed during the day
that as the result of oversight, quite a
number of precincts were without
Federal tickets, and consequently there
was no vote at these precincts for Federal
electors or congressman.
THE CARNIVAL.
The attendance at the Carnival last
night came fully up to expectations,
and the grounds were crowded for
several hours. From first to last there
must have been 800 or 1,000 people
present.
Almost everybody went to see the
"Great Bank Robbery" and the "Great
Train Robbery," and the "Streets of
Bombay" were also well patronized.
The "Aztec Girls" drew large crowds,
the "Eats 'em alive" attracted curious
people, the Ferris wheel was turning
continuously, and all the various
games did good business.
Lots of people grot great amusement
"throwing at Nancy." Nancy Is a
black negro man. painted a little
blacker and wearing a skirt stuffed
with wadding. He Is a target for
baseballs and takes all the licks he
cannot dodge. Several baseball pitchers
tried their hand at him and Mr.
Ross Clinton hit him a shot on the head
that fairly dazed him, much to the delight
of the onlookers. The negro was
hit quite frequently but did not seem
to object as that was his part of the
game.
Manager Finnegan is looking for
several more shows during today and
tomorrow, and hopes to have the already
comfortably full midway crowded
before the end of the week. The
performances continue during afternoons
and evenings.
Going to Rock Hill.
The Dreamland Carnival company
goes to Rock Hill instead of to Laurens.
Contracting Agent Turner made
a contract with that city yesterday
and Mr. Marx left last night to make
arrangements. The aggregation will
commence its engagement in Rock Hill"
next Monday or Tuesday.
TIGERS BESIEGE A VILLAGE.
The Man Eaters, Four In Number,
Have Killed Several of the Inhabitants.
The police station at Katigora was
a few days ago the scene of great excitement
and horror when the corpse
of unfortunate Nidan Patni, who met
his lamentable death from the claws
of a tiger, was carried there for inspection.
Four persons were killed during the
course of a few weeks, besides a number
of persons mauled; while carrying
away of cattle is going on almost
every day. The tigers that have
caused so great a havoc here are now
proved to be four in number, one tiger,
one tigress and two big cubs, and
our sympathetic deputy commissioner
is said to have offered a reward of Rs.
40 for the destruction of each of them.
The ferocious brutes, having taken
their abode by the side of the only
important road leading from Katigora
to the village of Gangapur, have
practically laid siege to the village,
with the result that communication on
foot has been stopped. Several attempts
that have been made to afford
relief to the unfortunate village were
all unsuccessful.
A party of local shikaries mustiering
strong and equipped with firearms
marched into the jungle at the head
of our energetic Nlab Tehsildar Maulvi
Mohammed Israil to hunt the tigers.
but with all their efforts they
could not make the master stripes
come out of their recess. The next
uuy, nonevcr, aiiuiuci ptiriy, vunaioiIng
of four European gentlemen with
a large number of coolies, surrounded
the jungle and succeeded in arousing
the tigers, which managed to escape
through the line without giving the
hunters an opportunity of discharging
bullets.
They pursued the animals and made
them swim across a beel. It Is a matter
of regret that the brave hunters
failed to hit the animals although a
good number of shots were fired. The
tigers got to the other side of the beel
without encountering further opposition
and fell upon the said Nldan Patnl,
THE GARDEN OF EDEN.
Scientists Unable to Agree as to Its
Location.
Almost every spot on the globe has
had the* claim made on Its behalf that
it Is the site of vanished Eden. Most
persons seem agreed that Paradise has
disappeared from our midst. The
question is, where was It situated?
To those who deny the Biblical story
of man's genesis, the question takes
another form, and they perplex themselves
as to the spot ,in which man
first appeared on this earth. Some
evade the difficulty by saying that
man appeared in many different spots
?that he did not spring from one
original.
If we accept the doctrine of the Darwinians,
we are forced to confess that
the place where man first evolved
must have been anything but a Gar
aen or niaen. 11 musi nave ueeu o
haunt of mere animals, and its food
would certainly not have been fruit.
Roughly speaking, therefore, there are
the two schools?those who believe
that man came from a divine original,
but fell away from his first estate, to
which with infinite labor he may return;
and those who believe that he
evolved from the beast, and is still
evolving to the greatness that he may
ultimately attain. Setting aside these
somewhat discordant theories, we may
well ask?Where was Eden?
The soundest scientists are agreed
that mankind came from a single origin?whether
a distinct creation or an
evolution is beside the mark; and the
original maYi must have had a local
habitation. The geographical manuals
and maps of the Middle Ages leave a
good deal to be desired in the matter
of accurate detail, but they have at
least the merit of boldness; and if we
go to them for an answer to our question,
we may get something like a definite
reply. According to an old map
of the thirteenth century, Paradise is
a circular island lying near India. It
is surrounded by a wall, in which is
a gateway opening to the west; the
gate is closed, and the wall quite insurmountable.
Our later atlases do
not locate this happy island.
Other early maps would have usbeHovo
that Erton lnv in Central China.
We can go with these ancient geographers
so far as to place the probable
site of man's birthplace In Asia; but
the consensus of learned opinion does
not Incline either to India cr ChinaEminent
authority supports the Idea
that Eden lay somewhere on the great
Babylonian plain, watered by the Tigris
and Euphrates?the Perath and
Hiddekel of Genesis.^ Other authorities
give their voteToF Armenia?poe-F
slbly Influenced by the tradition which
says that the Ark rested on Mt. Ararat;
but this tradition would only
point to Armenia as the probable first
home of the post-diluvian man.
Prof. Delltzsch and Prof. Sayce favor
Babylon, Heidegger favors Palestine;
Media, Arabia and the Upper
Nile all have their supporters. ^3uatrefages,
treating the subject solely
from a scientific standpoint, concludes
that linguistic and other human types
point to Central Asia, hut does not decide
on any precise locality.
With the author of Genesis, as Dr.
Kallsch has remarked, "Eden Is geographically
described In a manner
which leaves no doubt that distinct locality
was before the mind of the author.
" Even to those who think that
this author was building on uncertain
traditions, it must yet be of interest
to know what this locality was. Baby*
Ion was the most fertile land known
to the ancient world; Its poorest fields
repaid cultivation fifty-fold, its better
a hundred fold. Its luxuriance of fruit
and grain was so great as to be actually
embarrassing. There Is no question
at all that this district was the
seat of Asia's earliest civilization, and
therefore why may we not say of the
world's?
The idea of man, created perfect and
living in a garden of fruitful loveliness.
has always had a fascination for
poor humanity, recognizing its present
imperfections and the frequent dls
malness of its present surroundings.
Even those who knew nothing of the
Bible story pictured such a spot for
themselves. Every early mythology
has its fortunate isles, its Atlantis, its
Hesperides, its Arcadia and its Golden
Age.
Some persons even conjectured that
Paradise had not been on the earth at
all, but was on " island floating in the
air, something like the islands visited
by Gulliver. They did not wish to
think that the sacred spot could be
submerged by the waters of the deluge,
and by this device they raised it
above any such calamity. On this island
dwelt the sacred Phoenix; the
well of life flowed there, the elixir of
immortality; leaves never fell from
the trees; the sun shone always on a
perpetual summer. Men declined to
believe that Eden had been destroyed
forever; they preferred to imagine
that its gates were closed to them for
a season. To deem that such a spot
could vanish seemed sacrilegious.
Many an early voyager and explorer
had strange dreams of discovering
some earthly paradise, when he set
out for unknown shores; dreams perhaps
not spoken, but secretly nourished
and strengthened by the unconquerable
force of romantic superstition
that lived in the heart of ages in
other ways so dark. Even the Eliza
Detnans areamea aiwaya 01 some mm e
wonderful country to be discovered;
their tolls and perils and fightings had
ever the redeeming glamor of romance.
In those days was the true
poetry of travel; there was always
some Eldorado, some hidden Eden to
be reached.
When the Icelander Lelf first reached
Greenland he brought back tales
of a land flowing with milk and honey,
an oasis of sunshine and fertility
inclosed within walls of Polar ice; it
Is probable that he truly found the
district more genial than anything
that now exists there. The Icelanders
came and made their settlement,
building churches and homesteads and
farms, whose remains now lie, like
another buried Eden, below the ice and
snowflelds. Other dreamers have
placed Eden ,on the summit of some
high mountain, so high as to escape
the waters of the flood; so high as to
be beyond th^ sight of man; when the
waves flowed) over Ararat they simply
lapped the fdot of this vast hill.
Yet, again,;.the site of the lost garden
has been sought in India, at the
mouth of the flanges; and some have
identified It with Ceylon. Wherever
? ??*? aii?* n a
we Ku> wc tan cunon uwb uui
and can yet more easily lose them.
But if we accept the Darwinian theory,
we must shatter this old Eden
myth with so much that man has
treasured: our Golden Age may lie in
the future?it cannot He in the past.
Which conception is really more hopeful?
One \could like to nurse them
both; we wduld like our hope to be
also a memory.?Kansas City Independent.

LONDON'S LEAD.
By Annexing Territory 8he Keeps
First Place Among Cities.
London is the only city in the world
with a larger population than New
York; and the ratio of Increase in
population being greater here than in
London, if that were the only factor
to be considered, it would be a question
of time only when New York
would become the first city.
The city of London proper, exclussive
of suburbs, has a population of
4,542,000 and an area of 75,442 acres.
This was by the census of 1901. By
the census of 1900, the population of
New York was 3,437,000 and the area
196,000 acres.
New York, with the larger ratio of
gain in population and the larger unoccupied
territory for expansion, had
the larger opportunity for increase into
the position of first city of the
world. But recently the committee of
the London County Council, which has
been considering the advisability of
extending the boundaries of London,
made a favofrable report.
When the council came into existence,
in 1839, the outlying suburbs
were small and unimportant : now
they are populous communities and
entirely free from the supervision of
municipal authority. Hornsey and
West Ham fcave become county boroughs,
but Tottenham, with a population
of 102,000; Walthamstow, with
95,000 and Leyton, with 98,000, are not.
Outside of the immediate city of
London is what is known as the outer
ring, with an area of 370,000 acres;
and as territory Included in this ring
is-added "tur the* city the population of
London is correspondingly increased.
So long as London continues to annex
suburban territory to the city It
will remain ' at the head of cities.?
