TAFT WILL HAVE 309 VOTES. Bryan Will Have 174, According to Latest ..Returns-Democratic Gains in Middle West Amazing. New York. November 4.-Practical ly complete returns received up to a late hour tonight indicate that Wm. H. Taft. of Ohio. as president-elect, will have a vote of 309 in the elector al college. This is within 16 votes of the forecast made by National Chairman Frank H. Hitchcock, and 67 more than -a majority out of the total electoral vote of 483. The most important news of the late returns indicates that Maryland, after vacillating during the day, and apparently being safe to Democracy, has been swung into the Taft column. The unofficial figures give Mr. Taft the State by 136 votes. Maryland was the last of the doubtful States to be heard from. Indiana and West Vir ginia, as well as Montana, turned out to be safely Republican. Colorado went for Bryan. Mr. Bryan has a total of 174 votes, two less than he received in 1896. In 1904 Mr. Parker received only 140 votes, in 1900 Mr. Bryan received 155 votes and in 1896 the Nebraskan re eeived 176 votes. Mr. Taft's 309 electoral votes, compared with 336 received by Roosevelt in 1904, 292 re received by McKinley in 1900 and 271 received by McKinley in 189'. No changes of material interest have been reported in the congres sional returns today. The Republi cans will have about the same work ing majority in the 61st congress as at present, and Jos. G. Cannon, of Illinois, undoubtedly will succeed himself as speaker. Representatives Jesse Overstreet, of Indiana, and Hepburn, of Iowa, are the most conspicuous- among those who have failed of reelection. The senate retains its Republican complexion, although there will be a material change in the personnel of the upper body of the national legis lature. National Chairman Norman Mack, of the Democratic party, issued a statement tonight in which he declar ed he did not believe Mr. Bryan would again be a candidate for the presidency. He said he believed that the Nebraskan might be a candidate for the United States senate ini 1911, provided the legislature of his State is Democratic in that year, when the first vacancy will occur. The latest returns indicate that in the national house of representatives, the Republicans will have 208 mem bers, and the Democrats 172, with eleven districts missing. Judge Taft's plurality in the State of New York, according to corrected returns late tonight, is 203,495, more than 28,000 in eveess of President Roosevelt's plurality of four years ago. Governor Charles E. Hughes was reelected in New York State by 71, 159. The returns a.- between presi dent and governor inidicate a heavy splitting of tickets. T'he heavy vote in Ohio made fi gues extraordinarily late owing to the immense size of the ballot. Mr. Taft carried his own State, however, by 50,000 plurality. a eduction of more than 200,000 from the Roosevelt vote of four years ago. The Demo cratic State ticket in Ohio, headed by Judson Harmon for governor, ap pears to be safely elected. The State legislature, which is to choose a sue eessor to Senator Foraker, appears to be in doubt as between the Repubii cans and Democrats. In Indiana Mr. Taft was successful in carrying the State by, about 8.000, but the entire Democratic State tick et, headed by Mr. Marshall for gov ernor, was elected. The congression al delegations from the State show a gain of seven Democrats. The returns from West V'irginia. owing to the mountainous character of the country, are slow in coming in. A sufficient number of counties and districts have been heard from. how ever, to show that Mr. Taft has a safe plurality. Colorado early in the day shifted from the doubtful column to the Bry an list. The~ legislature, which is to choose a suecessor to Senator Teller. abo is appairently Democratic. Mr.. Bryan 's victory in his home State of Nebraska, was a sweeping one. Five of Nebraska's six congress men will be Democrats, while in the legislature only 18 Republicans seem to be elected out of a total of 133 senators and representatives. 21 COUNTIES WET AND 21 DRY. C"eeter. Clarendon, Laurens in Pro bijYtion Coluimn - Representation c-" Prohition Counties in Legisla ture Will Nual That of Dispen sary Counties. .. .. fThl,mhia November 4.--The indi r( ( e e yare iilz!t b ,Ich i,i hree c0,:1-les will beV added -o the prohibition column in South Caro lina. Is this. or is it not, an indica tion of genuine sentiment in the State? The official vote in the dispensary election for Union county on Octob er 27 has been filed with the gover nor, as required by law. The major ity against the sale of whiskey is 261, the vote standing: For sale. 665; against sale, 926. When the dispensary was first vot ed out of Union. on August. 15, 1906, the vote stood: For sale. 412: against sale. 761. The total vote in 1906 was 1,173, against 1.691 in 1908. as in crease of 418. The gain for prohibi tion was 165 and for sale the gain was 253. Returns from the elections in Laur ens. Chester and Clarendon. in which the liquor question was voted on yesterday. indicate that the dis pensary has been voted out of each of these counties. all of which now have dispensaries. It is not unyikely that the elections will be contested, espe cially in the case of the Clarendon county election. where it is alleged the proper thirty days' notice by the supervisor was not given, as requir ed by the law. If the elections are held to be valid and Laurens and Chester go "dry," then Abbeville will be the only coun ty in the Piedmont section, or, in fact, above Columbia. in which whiskey is; lawfully sold. With the addition of I these three counties to the prohibition column there will be exactly half the counties in the State wet and half dry-21 out of 42. The prohibition line-up will be: Anderson. Cherokee, Chester. Chester field. Clarendon. Darlington. Edge-, field. Greenville, Greenwood. lorry, Lancaster. Laurens. 1arion. Marl boro, Newberry. Pickens. Oconee. Sa luda., Spartanburg, Union and York-! 21. The dispensary counties will be: Abbeville, Aiken, Bamberg, Barnwell, Beaufort, Berkeley, Calhoun. Charles ton. Colleton, Dorchester, Fairfield, Florence, Georgetown, Hampton, Ker shaw, Lee,-%Lexington, Orangeburg. Riehland, Sumter and Williamsburg -21. It is perhaps merely a coincidence, but an interesting one, that the rep resentation in the house of the pro hib'tion counties in the above list 's exactly the same as the represents tion of the dispensary counties-the 21 prohibition counties having togeth er 62 votes and the 21 dispensary counties having a combined vote of 62-which is. of course, half the total number of votes, 124, in the house of representatives. And, of course, since each county has only one senator, the representation in the senate is also evenly divided, 21 votes each. But in the senate the president has the de ciding vote in case of a tie, while in the house the speaker votes as armem ber. This does not, however, in any de gree indicate the standing of the leg islature on the question of prohibi tion, for the reason that some of ilh representatives and senators from Iprohibition counties are not prohibi tionists, and vice versa, SO!fne of tl;t representatives and senators from dispensary counties might vote for The Iheat Doesnif. go up ?he Flue - You receive intense, direct from every ounce of fuel burne there are no clamp chimneys or pipes to waste the heat from a PERFECTION (Equipped with Sul Carry it from room to room.

Again, the quest i'n in :.-prinary and at the general electiorl are ni-re ly different propositions, fot the rc;i so;n that there is a difference in the numer of votes east and in the quali fications of the voters at the two eke tions. Besides all the pro-bition counties. except Marlboro and Greenwood. have secured prohibition by popular vote under the local option laws and their representatives may take the position that since they have secured prohibition by local option it will be best to let local option remain in force. giving the other counties the same opportunity to vote as they see fit. Undoubtedly. however. -there wid be a general state prohibition law bill introduced in the next general assem bly, as there has been in every gener al assembly for years, but whether it can be passed or not is quite another quest'on. THE CAUSE OF COLDS.. Good Advice Regarding The Preven tion of Coughs and Colds. If people would only properly for tify and strengthen their system, about 98 per cent pf coughs, colds. and pneumonia might be avoided.' These troubles are simply the result of weakness. which produces a cat arrhal condition of the mucous mem brance. which is as internal skin of the body. When this skin is weak ened, it becomes infected with germs which are carried through the sys tem by the blood. These parasites attack and break these delicate tis sues and set up a soreness which pro duce what is in reality an external scrofula. The only thing that will cure coughs and colds and pr.,vent pneu monia is a medication which is ab sorbed and carried hv the blood so that the diseased membrane is disin fected, cleaned, soothed and healed. We have a remedy which we hon estly believe infallable and unsur passale for the prevention and cure of coughs, colds and all catarrhal con ditions. It is the prescription of a famous physician, who has an envi able reputation of 30 years of cures gained through the use of this medi eine. We promise to either effect a cure in every case or make no 'charge for the medicine. We urge everybody in Newberry who has need of such a medicine to try Rexall Mucu-Tone. It stands to reason that we could. not afford to make such statements and give our own personal guarantee to this remedy if we were not abso lutely positive that we could sub statiate our elaif in every particu lar, and we see no reason why anyone should hesitate to accept our offer and try it. We have two sizes of Rexall Mucu-Tone. Prices .50c. and $1.00. Sometimes a 50c. bottle is sufficient for a cure. As a general thing, but most chronic case is cured with an average of three large bot tles. Remember, the medicine will cost you nothing if you are not satis fied in every particular.
