~ ?? COTTON GINNED. > Nearly Ten Million Bales, All Reo ords Surpassed. Washington, Nov. 8.?With a total of 9,968,172 bales of cotton of the [ growth of 1911 ginned prior to November 1, as announced to-day by the census bureau, the promised record-breaking cotton crop of this season is fast being made ready for the manufacturer. At no time in the history of the American cotton industry has so great a crop been ginned to this time of the year. The amount ginned to November 1 exceeds by 1,777,000 bales that i ginned in 1908, the previous record. T* nlon ie oTootor than thft ZinninfT tO J*% ?MWV *0 O* VMW4 V? - ? w w November 14 of any year, being * about 200,000 more bales than was ginned to that date in 1904, the rec}ord year. This would indicate that the crop was at least two weeks earlier in maturing and reaching the gins than in previous years. Possibly Fourteen Million. Calculations of the year's, total crop, based on the ginning reports would, therefore, probably be [ more accurate if figured on the NoI : vember 14 reports of other years. In previous record, years, about 50 per cent, of the total crop has been ginned to that date and a rough estimate of this year's crop might be placed at a minimum of 14,000,000 ba&es. Commercial experts' estimates, however, range up to more than 15,000,000 bales. The census burea's fourth cotton ginning report of the season, show ing the number of running bales, counting round as half bales, ginned to November 1, -with comparative statistics to the corresponding date for the past three years, is as fol k lows: United States, 9,968,172 bales, compared with 7,345,953 bales last year, when 63.5 per cent, of the en ' tire crop was ginned to November 1;' 7,017,849 bales in 1909, when 69.7 per cent, was ginned, and 8,191,557 bales in 1908, when 62.6 per cent, of the crop was ginned.

Great Change in Kentucky.

The State legislature, in joint assembly, will have a Democratic majority, probably of 85, sufficient to dispel any doubt of the election of Congressman Ollie James, Democrat, I to the United States senate, as successor 'of Senator Thomas H. Paynter. James is the nominee of the State Democratic primary. The Edisto Rifles were mustered in as part of the militia of the State ; last week.

MAINE REMAINS DRY. Governor and Council Accept Corrections in Vote. Augusta, Me., Nov. 6.?Maine retains constitutional prohibition. Gov. Plaisted and his council late to-night decided to accept the corrections in the vote of four towns cast in the special election in September, thus reversing the result as indicated on the face of the first official returns. Returns on election day, September 11. indicated a majority of about 300 against the repeal of the prohibition amendment, - but later the official count showed a majority of 26 for repeal. . . It was found by comparison,.however, that in some cases the figures of the town clerks were reversed from their early returns, and in each case the clerks claimed the error to be in the official figures. After hearings on the subject, the governor and council. took the matter under consideration, and the result was the announcement to-night that Maine retained constitutional prohibition by 758 votes. Very Gruesome Souvenir. Postcards have been received in this city showing the negro, Jackson, hanging from a telegraph pole at Honea Path by one foot. Jackson was strung up in this manner and shot to death by a mob at Honea Path after being chased and finally captured between Greenville and Spartanburg. The photograph shows plainly the marks of bullets and shot on the body of the negro and also on the telegraph pole. He is hanging by one foot The other leg swings out at a right angle from his body. The coat hangs down, leaving the body from the waist line up (or down) bare. The face is plainly visible and the features are shown distinctly. The picture is a gruesome one, especially u {a on ol oq v anH (Hatiriflt. piiiuc IV 10 OV VAVW1 VkMU vi*w??*?r?r. Spartanburg Journal. | HYDE MAKES STATEMENT. Result of the Primary Will Not be Contested. To the Democratic yoters of Charleston: I have decided that it is to the best interests of the entire city of Charleston that I should not protest the primary election held on Novembe 7, by asking for a review of the large number of challenged votes that form a part of the total declared votes. Having reached this definite decision, I desire to take this opportunity to thank the magnificent body of our citizenship with whose support I was honored. This episode in my life I shall ever recur to with pride and satisfaction. , . For the future advancement of the city of Charleston I shall always | work as before. I trust thait the administration of the next mayor will result in great benefit -to the dear old city that we all love so well. TRISTRAM T. HYDB. I -The sftatement published above was issued by Major T. T. Hyde last night It disposes finally of all doubt as to who will be the next mayor of Charleston. It means that Col. John P. Grace, who, in the primary election on November 7, received a majority of 85 votes over his two opponents, Major Hyde and Mr. E. W. Hughes, will be declared the nominee for mayor by the city Democratic executive committee in the Hibernian hall to-day. Col. Grace will be elect| ed on Tuesday, December 12, the ! date of the general election and he will take the oath of office as mayor on Monday, December 18. . Major Hyde's decision not to protest the result of the primary was arrived at after mature deliberation. Many votes had been- challenged, enough to (wipe out Col. Grace's majority had they been protested and the protests sustained; ana ll was and still is the belief of the Hyde j adherents that a large number of tiiese challenged votes were challenged for good and sufficient reasons. The whole question, however, received the most oareful consideration from Major Hyde and his advisers; and it was at the conclusion of A conference last night that the decision of Major -Hyde, as expressed in his statement printed above, was arrived at. Nothing now remains to be done except the formal declaring of the election by the executive committee. The committee will meet to-day at noon in the Hibernian hall., No protests will come before it and to-day, therefore, Col. Grace will be officially declared the Democratic nominee for Mayor of Charleston.?News and Courier, Friday, Nov. 10th. 4 KEEP A'GOIN.
