Democratic Chairman Lloyd Issues a Statement. -On the night of the election Jas. T. Lloyd, chairman of the Democrat-, ic national Comressianal committee, issued the following statement: - "Present indications are that Con gress will be Democratic about 33 majority. Thus far the returns in dicate that our pre-election estimates were about correct. "Th causes which have led to the resuits today are well known. It Is a srious rebuke to the Republi can party for its failure to reduce the tariff, as the people believed the party had promised. The high cost of protected, manufactured articles, which has resulted in greatly "In creased cost of living, has had very much to'- do with producting this re sult. There is general dissatisfac tion with the existing political con ditions and with the present Repub lican administration. This has led to its repudiation as far as could be drne at the poll?. "The Democratic party has won a victory because the only hope of the people Is In Its supremacy. "The Republican party lias shown by its course that it will not enact 5\gislation in the interest of the masses where such lgislatlon would be to the detriment of the classes." CHAIRMAN MACK'S MISTAKE. He Voted the Straight Republican Ticket on Tuesday. At Buffalo, N. Y., Norman E. Mack, chairman of the Democratic national committee, Tuesday voted the straight Republican ticket, It was an error, but it could not be rectified. Subsequently he tcld the joke on himself, "I wanted to see how fast I could vote my party tick et on the voting machine," he said. "It was somewhat dark in the booth and in my haste, I pulled the wron? lever and voted the Republican tick et. I Immediately announced to the election inspectors my errcr and asked permission to correct the mis take, but, of course, the inspectors, would not permit." jority in the legislature. In Missouri the Democrats won, thus bringinf her back in the Dem ocratic. The Democrats carried the Legislature and gained one congress man. In Oregon, Wyoming and North Dakota the Democrats elected their governors and other State otncer3 by majorities ranging from 1,500 to 3,000. In Texas, Louisiana, Alabama, Mis sissippi , Georgia, Florida, South Carolina and Virginia the Democrats had their usual majorities and elect ed nearly every one of their can didates from coroner to governor. In Kentucky the Democrats made galus all along the line and elected ail the congressmen except two, making the delegation eight to two, a Democrat ic gain of one. In California, South Dakota, Iowa, Pennsylvania, Vermont, Illinois, Min nesota, Michigan, Nevada, Kansas, New Hampshire and Washington the Republicans elected their tickets, but at greatiy reduced majorities. Th-' Democrats made gains in congress men in several of these above States, ranging from one to six in sora* uf them. This is the greatest political up heaval that has occurred in this country in many years, and shews that the people have at last awks to the fact that they are being plun dered by the laws passed by tue Re publican party for the benefit of t-n trusts. The Democrats are in ro stay if they make the proper use of th^ir opportunity. OBASTGEBXJKGr, i SWEEP THE HOUSE DEMOCRATS HAVE GOOD WORK ING MAJORITY IN IT. The Democrat Elected New Members j in the West, in the East and inj the South. The Sixty-second Congress, which was elected on Tuesday, will stand as follows: Democrat elected, 227. Republicans elected, 163. Socialists elected, 1. /Total, 391. Majority of house, 196. Democratic representation in ex cess of majority, 30. Democrats majority over Repub licans, 64. Complete returns on the election of representatives in congress indi cate that the Democrats will have a working majority of 30 in the next house. The number of Democrats elected to Congress, according to the latest returns, which are of an un official character, is 226. The Republican representation will be 163 or 164, or 7 seats 'ess than the Democrats now have in the Six ty-first congress. The Eleventh Pennsylvania dis trict, which is represented In the present congress by a Republican, is In doubt. The Twelfth Pennsyl vania district, also normally Repub lican, is likewise doubtful. The ear lier returns indicated the election of | Robert E. Lee and he is carried in tne table as representative of this | district. Later reurns, however, give his Republican opponent, Robt. D. Heaton, an excellent fighting chance, and the official count will be neces sary to determine the result. Absolute confidence is not felt in the returns for some of the Wiscon sin districts, and it is not impossible that the official figures will change the totals of the two parties. The Fifth Wisconsin district is claimed by Victor L. ?erger. Socialist. Henry J F. Cochems, the Republican candi date, does not concede Berger's elec tion, and a recount may be neces-1 sary to decide the election. Gains by Parties.

AFTER A BITTER FIGHT. President Taft Fired Stuart from a Good Office, Announcement Thursday of the appointment of Fred Read as collec tor of customs at Newport News, Va., marked the end of a fight that | began early last winter and forced | the retirement from the office which he had held for four years of J. K. B. Stuart, son of the famous Con-j federate leader. President Roosevelt appointed Mr. Stuart to office as a compliment to the South, he 6aid. Early during his term, Mr. 'Stuart became involv ed in a civ'l service investigation because he deposed two white de puties and put in their places ne groes who happened to be party leaders. President Taft took up the matter last week and decided to appoint Mr. Read, but announcement of the I appointment was deferred until last Thursday, when it was given out at the treasury department. He Dropped Dead. When the Missouri Pacific Train No. 1 ran down and killed an uni dentified man near Warrenburg, Mo., Thursday, L. D. Hopkins, of St. Lou is, the conductor, clutched at his breast, reeled and fell dead in the Pullman coach. He had been on the road forty years, and the accident was the first that ever occurred while he was in charge of a train. Injury Proved Fatal. Clyde Rogers, the deaf and dumb boy, who was run over by a freight] tr .In retween the Spartanburg Junc tion and Fairforest after running away from school at Cedar Springs, died at the Springs Hospital Tuesday morning after suffering for over a week. The boy's skull was fractured and he was otherwise Injured. Beaten to a Frazzle. The following telegram was re-' 'reived at Tammany Hall In New i York City on the night of the elec tion from a Democrat in Col. Roo*>e-, velt's own district in Oyster Bay: "Roosevelt's own district: Dix, 218; Stlmson, 158. 'Beaten to a frazzle." " S. C SATUBD?Y, *TOVE BEAT ALL BOYS Jerry Moore Makes Two Hundred and Twenty-Eight Bushels of CORN ON SINGLE ACRE. The Fifteen Year Old Boy Farmer Writes the Story of How He Man aged to Make the Biggest Corn Yield of any Boy in the. Whole World. Jerry Moore, of Florence county, the champion boy corn grower of the world, has written a story of how he produced over 228 busheis of corn on one acre of land. The yield is substantiated by affidavits. He made a profit of $130,70 on the acre. It cost his $123.05 to secure the yield. The story gives a com plete description -and full accounts of the care of the cprn. He Is a member of the boys' corn club and was under the direction of the Unit ed States farm demonstration work and A. H. Gasque, county superinten dent of education of Florence coun ty. In a clear manner Jerry Moore tells the following story: Light gray, sandy upland; top soil about three or four inches deep, with just enouih drain for the water to run off. Cotton was grown on the .and in 1909, producing about 1,200 pound of seed cotton. During the 1st of. March, 1910, spread 300 one-horse wagon loads of rich dirt on this acre. Followed this with 50 one-horse wagonloads of stable manure scattered broadcast. On March 25 land was broken with i Dixie plows. One Dixie following the furrow of the other, and with the two breaking about ten or twel ve inches deep. The soil was so well pulverized did not harrow, re broke like it was .first time. March 29, harrowed and laid off in rows three and cne-half feet wide with Dixie plow.

A GREAT VICTORY DEMOCRATS WENT IN ON TUES DAY ON A TIDAL WAVE. They Not Only Carry the House bj Sweeping Majority, But Gain New Senators. The political upheaval of last Tuesday, when the Democrats went in on a tidal wave, has been follow ed by a general survey of the po pitlcal field, which discloses with greater detail and precision the mag nitude of the great Democratic vic tory. (Latest calculations on the national house of representatives, based on complete, but unofficial returns, show that the Democrats wili have a safe working majority of 30. The outcome of the United States senate is now definitely settled. The Republicans are assured of 16 new senators, which with 34 hold-over senators, gives them a total of 5U. The Democrats are assured of 15 new senator, which, with 25 hold-overs, gives 'them a total of 40. Two senantorships are still in doubt?namely, the successor of the late Mr. D?llivcr in Iowa and of Mr. Carter in Montana, where there is prospect of a tie. These determined totals, aowever, leave a Republican majority in the senate as follows: Total membership, 92; necessary to majority, 47; . Republicans, 50; Democrats, 40; doubtful, 2. The 16 Republican senators con sidered assured are from California, Connecticut*, Delaware, Massachu setts, Minnesota, Michigan, Nevada. North Dakota, Pennsylvania, Rhode Island, Utah, Vermont, Washington, Wisconsin and Wyoming. The 15 Democratic senators con sidered assured are from Florida, In dianna, Louisiana, Maine, Maryland, Missouri, Mississippi, Nebraska, New Jersey, New York, Ohio, Tennesssee, Texas,, Virginia and West Virginia. A summary of the contssts ior governorships shows the following Democratic governors elected with the approximate pluralities: .New York, Dix, 66,0On. 'New Jersey, Wilson, .'50,000. Connecticut, Baldwin, iJ,500. Massachusetts, Foss; 33,000. Ohio, Harmon, 60,000. Oklahoma, Cruce, 25,000. Oregon, West, 2,000. Wyoming, Carey, 2,000. Alabama, O'Neal, 50,000. South Carolina, Please, 60,000. Texas, Co'quit, 150.000. North Dakota, Burke, 3,000. The Republican governors elected with approximate pluralities: New Hampshire, Bass, 7,000. Rhode Island, Pothier,. 900. Iowa," Carroll, 10,000. Kansas, iStubbs, 5,000. Michigan, Osborn, 40,000. Minnesota, Eberhart, 50,000. Nebraska, Aldrich, 5,000. South Dakota, Vessey, 12,000. Wisconsin, McGovern, 15,000. California, Johnson, 25,000. Nevada, Oddie, 500. Tennessee, Hopper, 12,000. The governorships in two States are not yet reported as being beyond doubt, namely, Colorado and Idaho. ?In the East the Republicans lost New York Ne* Jersey, Massachu setts, Connecticut in the late elec tion and Maine sometime ago. corn was weighed in the shucks and weighed 16.3S8 pounds. They took 200 pounds of corn from the acre, at sundown, shucked and shelled, and got 155 pounds of shelled corn and 45 pounds of cobs and shucks. This shows 77 1-4 per cent, of corn and 22 1-2 per cent, of cobs and shucks. This percenta:e, makes a yield of 228 3-4 bushels. iAt the market value, $1 per bush el, the corn from the acre is worth $228,75; 3,000 pounds fodder,$30. Total value crop, $258.75. Cost of rent.$ 5.0U Cost of preparing seed bed.. 4.00 Cost of planting. 2.00 Cost of manure.25.00 Cost of commercial fertilizer. 66.od Cost of cultivation.11.50 Cost of gathering corn.. .. 8.00 Cost of gathering fodder. . . . 6.00 Total cost.$128.0b The total value, $258.75; less t\e total expenses, $128.05, leaves a net profit of $130.70. "The stable manure used was very trashy (much straw in it) and not worth more than 50 cents a lead. As the dirt has no commercial value I did not count it in the list lof expenses and the land has been Improved at least $50.00 by the dirt and stable manure. What I have done has been more of an experi ment than doing what I knew to be wise. About October 1st Mr. Williams, agent for the State, Mr. Willis, county agent for Mr. Gasque, county superintendent of education visited me. To them I am under obliga tions for helpful instruction and l greatly appreciate the interest they have shown in my little enterprise. Hoping to do better in the future, I am, yours truly, "Jerry H. Moore." Lo^k Blue for Them. A New York letter says with Con necticut, Massachusetts, Maine, New York and New Jersey gone Demo cratic, it looks to the Republican pol iticians about there as the day of judgment, but the Republican rank and file enjoy it. GOES UP HEAD JERRY H. MOORE IS CHAMPIOJi BOY CORN GROWER. The Report that Another Boy Made Two Hundred Fifty-eight Bushels Is a Mistake. The State says Jerry H. Moore, of Winona, in . Florence county, is the champion corn grower of South Car olina and of the world. He is 15 years of age and pro duced 228 bushels and 3 pecks of corn on one acre of land. This Is next to the highest yield of com ever produced and is only exceeded by the Drake yield of 255 bushels. Jerry Moore Is the son of a min ister, and the great yield was se cured on the parsonage land. This announcement was made on Wednesday by Ira W. Williams, State agent of the United States farm de monstration work. .Young Moore is a member of the Florence County Boys Corn club. He will win a number of prizes in the county and State contests and at the South Atlantic States Corn exposi tion, which Is to be held in Colum bia from December 5 to 8. Several days ago it was reported that a boy in Marlboro county haa produced 25S bushels. This recoru was investigated by Ira W. Williams and he found that, there was a mis take in measuring the corn. The boy only produced 179 bushels, which is far below the record of Jerry Moore. Tho following announcement was made Wednesday by Ira W. Wil liams: "After carefully investigating and having the corn measured of the re puted 25S bushels per acre, I find that the world's record has not been broken, that the boy will be second so far as the reports now stand in the yield from the boys' corn clubs in the State. I will say, however, that there was no Intention on the nart of the boys or the committee or the people of Marlboro county to give out any statement that was not absolute accurate, as all of them were anxious that the facts be known. The mistake occurred in the method of measuring the corn. We do not accept any measurements In regard to the greatest yield in the iState except the absolute weight, of the corn. I think, however, that this production Is the most remarkable In the history of the State's corn pro duction. It is certainly more re markable than the Drake yield, If the reports as to how the Drake yield was made is true; for, In cost of pro duction, it Is by far the least of the large yields produced, and the meth ods are such that any man could fol low and expect the most profitable results. "There were several boys from this neighborhood In the contest. This boy is an orphan boy, his father having died when he was small. He has two brothers about his size. He did not use but 2,400 pounds of commercial fertilizer and two loads of stable manure. "The spirit of this boy in regard to accurate measurement was the best I have ever seen." No blame or reflection is attached to this young farmer, Arich Odom. The error was caused by the crude way of judging it. The largest yield this year in Marlboro county was ob tained by Marvin Usher, who got 158 bushels. Young Odom planted his corn in three-foot nine-inch rows, about six inches in the drill. Fer tilizer used: two loads of stable man ure, 100 meal, 3 00 acid and 600 soda. ELECTION MADE HIM DUMB. Teddy Cofild Not Be Induced to Talk About the Result. A dispatch from Oyster Day, N. Y., where Roosevelt lives, says he could not be induced to talk about the result of the election. "Absolutely nothing to eay,"' was the word that went from Sagamore Hill Tuesday night. Theodore Roose velt was at home all evening, but he declined even to receive interview ers. Kermit Roosevelt appeared at the door when at 9:30 o'clock an at tempt was made to see the Colonel. "The colonel has absolutely nothing to say," said Kermit. Women Elected. Four women will sit in the gen eral assembly of Colorado as result of Tuesday s election. They are Al ma Lafferty, Louise U. Jones and Louise M. Kerwin, all elected repre sentatives from Denver districts ou the Democratic ticket, and Agnes Riddle, Republican. Election Barbecue.

C, who is doing some building in Spencer, gave a big barbecue in honor of the event. Sweep Chicago. The Democrats carried Chicago by aboi 40,000 majority, capturing six Repv ^lican congressional districts and electing their entire county ticket. The vote in the rural dis tricts was all that saved Illinois to' the Republicans. WO CENTS PEE COPY GRAFT CASES Growing Oat of the Old State Dispensary en Trial at Chester. BLACK AND RAWLINSON Two of the Lost Dispensary Direc tors Axe Having Their Records Aired.?Draft by Black on John. Early, In Favor of Henry Black Pnt in Evidence. j In the trial at CheBter of Blar/c and Rawlinson, former directors of the South Carolina state dispensary, and Lee Solomons, a former liquor salesman, for conspiracy to defraud, the state, Attorney General Lyon Wednesday offered in evidence the "little red book" kept by Henry Samuels, of Chester, a former whis key salesman, as a memorandum of the rebates by the hoard from the salesmen. Whether Samuels was one of the alleged conspirators re mains undertermined. John T. Early, of Cincinnati, who represented the Fleischmann liquor interests, declared he paid Director John Black, of Columbia, "money in the form of rebates." He said: "I did so because I thought it would influence him to give me orders. He took the money, and I got these orders." The IS2.5?0 draft made on Early, by Black In favor of Henry W. Black was offered in evidence. Early iden-. tilled it and said that in all he had. paid Black between $4,000 and $5, 000; that he usually paid him re bates of $1 to $3 each on every bar rel Black bought of him. C. W. Dudley, of Kentucky, who "prmerly represented Clarke Bros, and Co., distillers, of Peoria, 111., said that once Directors Black, Wylle and Rawlinson ordered out 2,600 barrels and 1,600 cases of whiskey, on which Dudley paid them 34,000 in rebates. The draft was put in evidence. Dudley said that of this Wylie got $1,200, RawlinBon $1,200 and Black $1,7.00./ In the examination oi Dudley it was developed that Dudley had ap plied to John Black for funds upon which Dudley might get across the border into Canada, to keep from testifying in this case. He did not get the money. The defense holds that this indicated consciousness of innocence on the part of Black and Rawlinson. Had they been guilty of wrong doing, the defence claims, they would have been anxious to get Dudley out of the way.. iMr. Dudley swore that the above amounts were paid out by him to the three. "I lied before the winding-up com mission when I testified that I had given no rebates. I nm telling the truth today," swore C. W. Dudley. "Do you expect this jury to be lieve you today?" asked Nelson. "No," replied Mr. Dudley. Whether or not Henry Samueln of Chester Is one of the conspirators to defraud the State, whether or not he knew of the schedule or rebates required and received occupied for a while the attention of the court In the trial of Black, Rawlinson and Solomons. . ? The question arose when* Attor ney General Lyon offered in evidence the "little red book" kept by Sam uels as a memorandum of the rebates required by the hoard from the whis key drummers. The question is still unsettled. John T. Early, of Cincinnati, O., Fleishman's representative, testify ing for the State, declared that he paid John 'Black "money in the form of rebates because I thought it would influence him to give me orders. Tie took the money and 1 got the orders." WANTED TO KILL MINISTER. Mexican Rioters Threaten Represen tatives <;f Uncle Sam. A.dvic^s received from Laredo state that rioters in Mexico City on Wednesday atempted the life of the United Slates Ambassador. The report came from sources con siderable reliable. The attempt on the life of the ambassador was made early Wednesday morning. The at tack was the culmination of an anti American demonstration which' be gan Tuesday ni^iht in which two Mexican student and a Mexican on looker were killed by the police in an attempt to preserve order. Bitter feeling was aroused as a re sult of these fatalities and further trouble was expected with the break of day. On account of a rigorous censorship reports reaching here are meagre. Will Jubilate. New York suffragists held a mass meeting at Cooper Union Thursday night to celebrate the victory of wo man suffragists, won In the state el ection last week. The meeting was one of the largest ever held in New York city by the advocates of votes for women. Both Turned Down.
