V OL. XXIII MANNING, S. C. WEDNESDAY, NOVEMBER 11, 1908 NO. 12 LATEST RETURN Taft Will Get a Large Electoral Vote. A GENERAL SUMMARY The Democratic Gains in the Mid die West Is Amazing-Republicans Will Have Majority In the House, But the Democrats Made Gains in Several of the Western States. Practically complete returns indi oate that Wm. H. Taft will have a rote of 319 in the Electoral Colleg, and 77 more than a majority out o' the total electoral vote of 4S3. Mr. Bryan has atotal of 164 votes twelve less than he received In 1896. In 1904 Mr. Parker received only' 140 votes, in 1900 Mr. Bryan re ceived 155 votes and in 1896 the Nebraskan received 176 votes. Mr. Taft's 319 electoral votes, compar ed with 336 receiv'ed by Rooseveit In 1904, 292 received by McKinley in 1900 and 271 received by McKin ley in 1896. No changes of material intere.<t have been reported in the Congress onal returns. The Republicans will not have as large a working majority in the 61st Congress as at present. 1 but Jos. G. Cannon, of Illinois, un doubtedly will succeed himself .is ! Speaker. Representatives Jesse Overstreet. of Indiana, and Hepburn, of Iowa, are the most conspicuous among those Republicans who have failed of re-election. The Democrats gained severnJ members in Indiana and Nebraska They also gained one Senator in Indiana. The latest returns indi cate that in the national House of Representatives, the Republicans 'i ! have 208 members, and the Demo- ! crats 172, with eleven districts miss ing. Judge Taft's plurality in the State of New York, according to correct ed reports, is 203.495, more than 28,000 in excess of President Roose velt's plurality of four years ago. Governor Charles E. Hughes was re elected in New York State by 71.159 The returns, as between President - and Governor indicate a heavy split ting of tickets. 1 The heavy vote in Ohio made fig ures extraordinarily late owing to the immense sire of the ballot. M: Taft carried his own State. however,! by 50,000 plurality, a reduction of more than 20,000 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 I successor to Senator Foraker, ap pears to be in doubt as between th-' Republicans 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 Congress ional delegation from the State show1 a gain of seven Democrats. The returns from West Virginia- 1 owing to the mountainous character 1 of the country. are slow in cozmng in. A sufficient number of counti 's and districts have been heard from, however, to show that Mr Taft has as safe plurality. Colorado shifted from the doubtful column to the Bryan lIst. The Leg islature, which is to choose a suc cessor to Senator Teller, also is ap parent Democratic. I Mr. Bryan-s victory in his home State of Nebraska, was a sweeping one. Five of Nebraska's six Con gressmnen will be Democrats, while in~ the ILegislature only 18 Republicans seem to be elected out of a total of 133 Senators and Representatives Electoral Votes.

L ryan Victory Would Have Been For Country. Wasilington, Nov. 5.-''Wh~le I 4eleve that Judge Taft will ably and3 :onscientiously perform the duties f the Presidency, I am neverthe ess of the opinion that the election > Mr. Bryan would have been far etter for the country," said Judge 3 lton B. Parker, of New York, the )emocratic nominee for PresIdent1 n 1904, in a statement issued her-f ast night. "While we are greatly disappoint-! d, we should not be discouraged.

'-Now for the first time In years." ;ays Judge Parker in conclusion. -we have a united party.

Lincoln, Neb., Nov. 6.-Some en h~usistic Democrats started a boom or Bryan for United States senator mmeliatey after the results of the lection became known, showing that -he Demnocrats had captured a ma iority of the Nebraska legislature. When, a bit later, they discovered that no senator is to be elected at he comning election and that an en tiry new body will be selected be foe a senator is chosen, the matter was dropped. Senator Burkett's term expires March 4, 1911. Mr. Bryan's closest friends say he has no ambitions along that line, and that he would refuse to stand in the way of loyal supporters who would logically become candid atea shuld the Democrats carry the leg-' islature two years hence.I TERRIB!LE TRAGEDY.

But We Fear It Will Amount to Nothing Practically When He i e. conies President. Cincinnati, 0.. November 5. Speaking to the Cincinnati Commcr vial Ciub, where he has been a mem ber for fourteen years, William How ard Taft tonight sounded the keynote of prosperity for the county for the next four years. "Every business man who is obey ing the law may go ahead with all the energy in his possession, every enterprise which is within the stat utes may proceed without fear of in terference from the Administration when acting legally, but all interEsta within the jurisdiction of the Fed eral Government may expect a rigid >nforcement of the laws against di; honest methods," was the keynot >f what Mr. Taft said. The speech which Mr. Taft de livered here tonight created a pro ound impression among the business nen of the city who are members )f the club. The speech was pre ,eded by expressions of friendship and neighborly felicitation on the dart of the distinguished guest, anal was responded to with the greatest enthusiasm. "Seriously," Judge Taft declare.], the indications are already appar nt, and the hopes which I entertain! Lre that the business communities 1 nd the investors of both foreign ations and among our people wili ake heart in carrying out the great nterprises which have been protect-! d, and must be carried to a con lusion if the country is to reach its ull need of prosperity and business Lttending. "Business men are to be shown the ines of legality, a-nd are to be di- I ected in keeping with these lines. hich have been emphasized durin; he last four years. Business men I hall know that they are to conform o the laws upon the statute books .nd that no favors are to be expect d for those who break the laws. "This shall be so that the men who onduct a legitimate business may inderstand that the Government is ack of them and does not intend o do anything to interfere with their egitimate advancement." After the applause which met t.e eclaration had subsided. Judge Taft dded: "It is a question of the definite :nowledge of the statutes and of heir clear understanding which sha.l cake the honest progress of our bus ness possible. And that is, in my relief, all that is necessary to make hat progress substa-n al and en Luring." Judge Taft apologized for direc4 g his words into sucn a serious dis 0urse. "I know the dif~culties that will rise in my career." he added, "an i know that there will be questions hich will arise that I do not know f 1:ow, and that times will com-' -he many of my friends here willj hake their heads and say, 'pooi. 3i,' but all I ask is for suspension1 f judgment until the situation ma e understood. Its decisions will -est upon the principles of sound and ionest business policies, which i iave outlined, and its intricacies may e ascertained and applied.

IT SWORE ITS OATHS In Dripping Blood, Enforced It! Orders With Torture and Wantoi Murder, and Lived Up to Its Mot to, "Dead Men Tell. No Tales," Eu. forcin', Without :.ercy. Nashville, Tenr.., Nov. 7.-Dear men tell no tales. Neither do the oath-bound mem bers of the dread Night Rider clan men who took their obligation Ir the wild forests around Reelfoot lake and signed their names in dripping blood, while about them the stillness :f a night as dark as Erebus was bro ken only by the weird scream of th heron or the loud too-hoo of the swamp owl. But . the terrible secrets of thi ierce clan are being given up-and by the living. Lips that have been sealed through fear of death, through fear of the silent riding and of masked men and horses with aufled feet; lips that have feared he oaths, the threats of the mid tight assassin, the noose, the swing )f death. The bloody rule of the night riders vas enforced by torture and wanton nurder. It was unchallcnged while he sufferers were residents of th: ooded country surrounding the ake. It promises now to be broken iy the power of the State backed >y the flashing bayonets of the nat onal guard. Crimes local in their character had )een safe. When the red-handed utlaws lynched Captain Quintin Iankin and attempted to kill Col nel R. Z. Taylor they awakened the aw-respecting sentiment of the State .nd brou:ght their leaders to tha had.ow of the gallows. "Thank God, I can talk at last; d I will." was the cry of a mother n the Reelfoot lake country whent he beheld the soldiers and realize: hat law was to supersede the rule *f murder. She was the mother of a lad who lad been forced to join in a rai o Hickman, Ky., where a family of egroes was wiped out by the night iders. This boy, who went unwil ngly, never returned, and after th' oldiers arrived a story leaked out f a newly made grave in the woods. sweet-faced girl, wearing blac< a memory of the lover who lay in he grave, came to camp and the ecret of that raid was revealed. "Tid" Burton, who was induced to urn State's evidence, is a hunter .d fisherman. For hours he was ilent and defiant, but the temptaticor. f the promised -reward of $10,000 .nd a feeling of safety inspired by he presence of the soldiers won him ver to the side of the State.

While the grand jury investigation s held secretly as possible, It is sair! hat the constitution and by-laws >f the Night Riders clan have been ffered in evidence.

Former Ice King and Steamship Pro moter Will Serve Term in the Federal Penitentiary. New York. No. 6.-Charles W Morse, one time "ice king," "steam ship king" and a controlling forca in a long string of banks in thie city, whose personal fortune a litth more than a year ago, was estimates at more than $22,000,000 and Alfred H. Curtis, former president of the National Bank of North America spent last night in a cell In the Tombs prison. They were convicted yesterday ir the United States court of viola tions of the national banking laws in connection with their conduct o: the National Bank of North America, of which Morse also was an office Today, when they arose, simulta neously with hundreds of others in the grim city prison they faced the possibility of many years behind the iron grated doors. This morning they arose with the other prisoners. and partook of the regulation prison breakfast. Morse was sentenced today to fif teen years' imprisonment by Judgt Hough in the Federal court. Sen S tence on Curtis was suspended. The sentence on Morse was on the verdict of guilty of the misappropria tion of the funds of the Nationa Bank of North America and makine false entries in the books of that bank. It Is. understood that the Atlanta Federal prison will be where Morse will be confined, if he goes tc prison. A stay of ten days In the execution of Morse's sentence was grantee and it is exnected that appeal will be taken immediately. The scene in the court room wher sentence was passed was dramatic The wives of the two defendants were present early, but it was th - urbands and not the wives who nroved comforters. Morse sat like ' stoic when he heard the words con I 'emning him to prison but the strafe was too great for the women. Mrs Morse collapsed and n11l sobint was taken to an anteroom. where a voment later her husband he1 her in his arms and souht to con sole her. Mrs. Curtis fainted. After granting clemency to th' "'se of Curtis. .Tudge Hough saiE "In the case of Morse there is little to be said. As in all bank frau !se., crim!nal legality is only a part of the larger general scheme. Jr his case it was to use the bank and' 'he depositors' money for specula ive purposes. If such schemes were "ermitted to De carried out the pub ifc would be at the mercy of a ban" of adventurers. Therefore I sentene" vor to fiftren years in the Federal prison at Atlanta. Pending action on the apneal Morse was paroled in the custody of the United States marshal. Morse was taken to the Tombs this site-noon and its was announced1 that no application for release on bond would be made today.* CAR KILLS SMALL BOY. Mangled Body Found .on Brake Beams by Motorman. New York, Nov. 5.-Carrying ou its brake-beams the mangled body of small boy, a trolley car ran for more than three mIles along Second ave nue last night without the motor man knowing that he had ever hii much less killed a person. The motornman told the police when he was arrested, charged with homicide, that he remembered a humping of the car ar. 99th street but gare It very little attention. At 96th street the bumping was repeat ed several times. At; 46th street he car stopped and the motorman crawled under It to se~e what was the matter with the motor. He was horrified to discover the horribly mangled body of a boy apparently about nine years old. He collapsed and was assistedl from under the car by the conduc tor. The car was filled and when the passengers found out what caused Ithe delay several women fainted. It is thought that the boy wa: Salvator Cantolope, although the body was so badly mangled as tc make identification, except by the clothing an imapsosibility.

Brokers Who Sold Her the Bonds Do Not Care to Prosecute and Woman Gces Away. With $20,000 in bonds which she is said to have obtained from the firm of Babcock, Rushton & Louder back, bond dealers in the Rookery building, Chicago, a woman known as Alice Cheney Brown was arrested a few nights ago at the union depot in that city and made to return the securities. She had a ticket for Denver and was aboard the tram waiting for its departure when De tective Frank Repetto found her preparing to retire for the night. Repetto's instructions from the brokers were not to detain the wo man if she restored the $20,000 worth of bonds. This she readily assented to, and she took them from a handbag on the seat beside her. The woman had also passed a worthless check, it is charged, for $63 on the management of the Con gress Hotel Company. Detective n.epetto, who is employed by the hotel company, had this little score to settla with the woman. She made good the amount of the check and was allowed to go her way. The method by which the woman obtained the bonds was by passing a worthless check on the brokers for $19,720. Soon after the transaction Orville E. Babcock, one of the firm became suspicious of the genuineness )f the check and telegraphed to the Farmers Loan and Trust Company, of New York, on which bank it was drawn. An answer was received that :he woman, purporting to be Alice Cheney Brown had no account with the Farmers Loan and Trust. It was known to the brokers' firm.that Mrs. 1 Brown was staying at the Annex, and a messenger was sent there to find her. At the hotel It was learned that the woman had paid her bil and left. She had paid with a check ->p the Farmers Loan and Trust Com dany and had ordered a carriage to take her to the LaSalle station. Major Southgate of the Annex examined the check passed on the hotel, and inasmuch as the check on 'he brokerage firm was wothless, bf declared that the smaller one waS worthless also. Detective Repett3 was called in, and with Mr. Babcock went to the municipal court where 9 a warrant was sworn out charging the woman with operating a con- s fidence game. The cabman who drove the woman frorn the Annex was found, and he Said she dischar-ed him at the La Salle street station. It was learned that a woman answering the descrip tion of Mrs. Brown had engage 1 another cabman and that he drove her to the Northwestern depot. Af ter discharging the second cabman 2 she entered a third vehicle and was driven to the union depot. In the baggage room it was dis tovered that the woma'n had checked a suit case to Denver, presenting 1 her railroad ticket at the time. The 1 Burlington train for Denver did noi leave Chicago until 11:30 o'clock ind Repetto remained in the d'epot until a short time of its departure H-ow the woman got past him and aboard the train without being seena is a mystery to the detective. When -lestioned on that point by Repetto t she looked out of the car window t and laughed. At first Mrs. Brown pleaded for he leniency, asking that she be per nitted to pay the hotel bill and con inue on he- trip to Denver. The -letective agreed to accept the $63 for the hotel bill and she paid him in cash. Then she turned over the bonds. When she did so she to-i1 1mid sobs that she had planned ta obtain the bonds so she could get unds to aid a brother wh6 is under arrest in the East for some offense. The securities were turned over later to Mr. Babcock. who was wait ing for Repetto at the Annex. Mr.1 Babcock said the firm would make o effort to prosecute Mrs. Brown. The bonds were twenty In number, of $1,000 each. They are first mort age 5 per cent bonds of the Madi son River Power Company. Mrs. "Brown" went to the Annex last Thursday. She registiered as "Mrs. Frank E. Brown, New York.'' The day following her arrest she alled on Babcock, Rushton & Loud erback wit letter, presumably' orged, purporting to be from a New York broker. Negotiations were be un for the purchase of the bonds. but the deal was not closed until Wednesday. It was learned after the Denver rain had departzd that Mrs. Brown~ t through the station without be ing seen by Repetto by a clever ruse. Outside the siation she saw a tired womani holding a baby and engaged her in conversation. Without arous ing the woman's suspicion she induc d her to let Mrs. Brown hold her bay and then accompanied the child nd its new friend to the train. In passng through the depot Mrs Brown was seemingly intent on the child, and as she was not supposed have a baby passed unnoticed. MOTHER~ AND SON FOUND DEAD. Dead from Gas. AtNwYork Mrs. F.

HAVE BIG PULL WITH THE REPUBLICAN POST OFFICE AUTHORITIES. Postoffice on Rockefeller's Barony Kept Running While Poor Man's Postoffice is Closed. You can't beat the Rockefeller pull with the Roosevelt goverrment. ays a dispatch from Utica, New ork. The dispatch goes on to say: "My Dear Senator," writes the standard Oil messenger boy, and like magic disagreeable little fea Lures of proposed legislation are lalminated. The latest servant of the "peepul :o hot foot to the assistance of Amer ;an's richest family is Postmaster Jeneral Von L. Meyer. No one has been kind enough to "swipe" the secret correspondence in this latest tandard Oil scandal, but p'raps the. nessenger bof's epistle to the post master general read something like :his: "My Dear General: At your ear Liest convenience please have the )ostoffice at Derrick, N. Y., 'closed, nd the postoffice at Bay Pond, N. I., continued. Mr. William Rock ;feller's friends and servants would >e greatly inconvenienced if there vere no postoffice at Bay Pond, Der ick is not important. "This will be greatly appreciated Lnd if we can reciprocate it will be ur pleasure. Yours sincerely, .JOHN D. ARCHBOLD." Bing! Bang! That sound comes 'rom the closing doors of the little )errick office. William Rockefeller owns a hunt ng park in the Adirondacks of 52. I00 acres. Bay Pond is the station. trmed guards are employed the year round to keep trespassers from en ering the sacred precincts of the normous estate. Persons who have [ared to fish in the Rockefeller riv rs or climb the Rockefeller moun ains have been arrested and fined. Villiam Rockefeller has spent less han one month at this estate during he nine years that he has owned it. gut his children go there and fish rom streams stocked by the state, .nd shoot deer that are driven or ured into the. park by the Rocke eller guards. The lust of possession is the only xplanation that has been made of ockefeller's reason for holding the -reat nonproducing tract which he lever sees, but is mainly used by ervants in his employ. Derrick is seven miles from Bay >ond, inhabited by 28 families. It eems that the postal aothorities de ided that either the postoffice at )errick or the one at Bay Pond ould have to be discontinued. At Say Pond there is one family-that >f William Rockefeller. And, of ourse, the 28 families of Derrtc' ot the worst of the new deal. There is indignation among them. hey must now go to Bay Pond for heir mail. How to do that and not e fined for trespass is a puzzle they ae not yet solved.

Ileved to be good for the Americas people, but it is for the people them selves to decide what laws they de sire and what methods of govera nent they prefer. I have faith that the publicity which we asked for will yet commend itself to the American people, that the election of Senators by the people will be secured, that the iniquities of the trusts will arouse an opposition that will re sult in the elimination of the prin eiples of the private monopoly. I a confident that the people will see the necessity for the labor legisla ion and the tariff reduction which ur platform demanded. I am con ident, too, that the educational work done in this campaign will 're sult in securing greater protection to bank depositors.

I have obeyed :heir command and have led as best could. Words will not express my ;ratitude for the willingness of the. Democrats during the past twelve Tears. Neither am I able to ade iuately express my appreciation for he kind words which have been spoken since the election. If I ,ould regard the defeat as purely , personal one I would consider it blessing rather than a misfortune. or I am relieved of the burdens and esponsbilities of an once that Is ttractve only in proportion as it ives an opportunity .to render a arge public service. But I shall erve as willingly in a .private cap city as in a public one. God does ot require great things of us. ~He nly requires that we Improve the pportunities that Is presented, andI hall be glad to improve the opportu ities for service presented by pri ate life. "In this hour of national defeat 1 id some consolation -In the cordial upport given by my neighbors. b~y :he citizens of Lincoln and by the eople of the State of Nebrasks. With a Democratic Governor and a emocratic Legislature we shall be ble to put into practice so much of he Denver platform -as relates to state legislation, and I trust that ur State will set an example that will be an Influence for good In the atio."
