The best I could do was to make one swipe with my hand at the right mo ent and try and brush him off be yond the rails. "And that's what I did. The way1 'd got it mixed in my head that kid and brother Dickie were one and the aame made me extra anxious about that swipe.

His left foot was torn from the leg, both sms were broken, and there was iardly a square inch of his face and body that was not bruised and lacerat ed. Yet his first care was for the child, which was found in the ditch with hardly a scratch on It. The baby was little Paul Ussary, child of the agent at Powell Station, not yet three years old.

According to the election returns or governor, which are published in ull in another column, the prohibi ionists hold the balance of power nd can name the next governor of South Carolina. If all or nearly all he votes cast in the first primary for he four dispensary candidates goes o Mr. Manning in the sec.nd pri nary, which is a reasonable presump. ion, as it is thought he must more Learly represent tneir views on the ispensary q 2estion than Mr. Ansel, r. Manning would have 45 772 votes, scking 2 614 votes to elect him. Can e draw these from the prohibition ote is the question? Mr. Manning s is well known f ivors a reformed ispensary controlled by the State. in the first primary Mr. Ansel re elved 39.131 votes, lacking only 9 255 otes to elect him. Supp:sing tnat 1 who vo*,ed for him in Lie first pri nary will again vote for him in the econd, Mr. Ansel would have to get nom the prohibition vote 9,255 to lect him. It he can do this he will e the next governor of South Caro- I na. Mr. Ansel received 15 923 more ( tes than Mr. Manning did, and, if I was not for the fact that Blease, ] loan and McMahan, who received ( ?564 votes, are in favor of the State t spensary the same as Mr. Manning i and 1bat their vote will probably I; to Mr Manning, Mr. Ansel's elec- r on would be a foregone conclusion. t will thus be seen that the prohibi- a on vote is the determining factor, 4 iwe said above. t The question is how will the prohi tionists vote? Some will vote for e r. Manning and some will vote for o r. Ansel, but it is likely that many I them. will not vote at all if they a )ld to the strict prohibitionists eed they will not vote to legalize the a le of liquor under any circumstan- a 8. It will thus be seen that it is t ybody's race yet for governor. It v ay be Mr. Ansel or it may be Mr. I nning. Either one of these gentle en would make an excellent chief a egistrate, and would fill the high a id honorable office with credit to 1 iemselves and honor to the State. e >no one need loose any sleep over a Le questionias to who wil sucee & ov.

Uncle Joe May be On the Floor in the Next Congress. The Columbia Record's Washing ton letter says the hegira of Bryante? toward New York during the past few days has put Democratic static ticians to work figuring out to a nice ty just what the complexion of the ex4 house is going to be. A group f well known poltic'ans was seated In the lobby of the New Wilard a few evenings ago discussing this qieston ad the synopsis of what they said nay be expressed in the following anguage: The Democratic control of he next congresb-both houses-will iec3sitake overcoming a Republican najority of twenty four-in the senate ad one hundred and twelve in the mune. The total senate membership . 90 and the house membership 366. The terms of 30 senators-15 Dem crats and 15 Republicans-expire [arch 3-d se. The Demccrats are: 3can, Georgia; Bliley.

Coster and McLaurio have al ady been re-elected for another c rm. Berry, Blackburn, Carmack ad Gearin will retire after March 5h. Martin, Morgan and Bacon ha e en re elected for another term each nless unforseen things happen the 2plexion of the senate will not soon e changed and the Proportion of samocrats and Rspublicans will re iin for sometime as it is at present. On the house side the matter has ismed a different color. Predic ions parently well fLunded, are made ist a big enough Democratic gain ill be made to overcome the present ?publican mal rity of 112 There are now four R publicans in Lie house from the SoutL--Blaakturn, f North Carolina; Slemp, of Virgin , and Hale and Brownlow, of T.nn 3se.

In Ohio there are 20 Bepubl.l ms and one Democrat, and the lat r hope to gain five. Indiana shows at her pro;,ortion Is 11 to two and gain of two is looked for.

Mre interes'; in now cantered on few York state possibly than on any ither. REpublicans admit that the )emocrats have not their usual niota, having only 11 out of 37 repre etatives. This is by no means the sual proportion. Sixteen would be le usual number, so the gain of live s apparently not an extravagant aope. - All New York Democrats in ihe house at this time are from t'ae ity of New York, with one exnep A careful survey- of the field con sidered by sections -and states, and based on past conditions. indicates a Damocratic gain of between 35 and 40. The election of 1904, at whict ame the present house was elected was a fair test of the strength of the ;wo parties In the country. The tremendous personal popularity of President Roosevelt entered into the fight asad-ensured the success of al most every candidate labeled Republi can, except In the Southern states Distcts never before known to elect a ~epublcani went with the landslide In a number of big sbates having large delegations, only one of the Democra tic representatives was returned. Among those were Illinois, Ohio, Pennsylvania, New Jersey and Wis consin. Other states like California, libraska, Kanasas and Michigan did not send a single Democrat to the nouse. These results were not. It is conceded normal, and are not likely to ccour again. In New England, Democrats have little to hope for. They have now ~hfee members from Boston. These ill be held. Taey also have one of the two Rhode Island reg resentatives and one member from the city of Providence. In Miine, New Hamp shire and Conneticut they have no members in the present congress an d cannot figure on any In the ne xt house judging by the ,political history of those states at the more recent elec tions. In all other sections there i a psblity of big Democratic gains in the next hnrae. HUMAN MON T.hR THIRTEEN YEAR OLD CHILD VIC TIM OF BRU'E.
