When the election of Woodrow Wilson seemed practically certain Tuesday night, President Taft sent i Governor W'ilson a telegram congratulating him on the result. Tho ripmnprflts have won the greatest victory ever known. It 4 seems that 397 electoral votes are c safe for Woodrow Wilson and * Marshall, and the total may go to * over four hundred. Bamberg is one of the smallest 1 counties in the State, yet there are nine murder trials for the term of c court next week. More than twelve c mert have met violent deaths in this ( county during the year 1912. t , We were in Columbia last Thurs- i day, and of course we heard a little t political talk while there, as is cus- ^ i tomary during Fai-r week, and we t were indeed glad to learn that our i old friend, Geo. W. Dick, of Sumter, f will likely be appointed chairman of i the ways and means committee of ? the next legislature. Dr. Dick is the ? ranking member of this committee ( and the appointment rightfully be- > longs to him in the order of seniority, c and of course M. L. Smith, who will t no doubt be re-elected speaker of the 1 house, will follow the rule and ap- a point Dr. Dick as chairman. He has made a very useful member of the c ways and means committee and will ? no doubt sustain his good record as ? chairman. Women Join in Mob Violence. c W. Jacksonville, Fla., Nov. 4.?For the first time since the carmen vent qn strike, just one week ago to-day, the women have taken a hand in the 2 1 v mob violence. This afternoon a party i of about one dozen women stopped a "v Riverside car, at the corner of Date s and May streets, evidently for the I purpose of boarding it. When the c car had made a full stop, the women commenced throwing bricks, stones \ and glass bottles. A hurry call was 1 sent for militiamen, but the women s made their escape. c To-day the Jacksonville Traction r Company announced that they were t willing to recognize a local union, but positively would not recognize the t Amalgamated Association. s One car crew was attacked at the I corner of Main and 11th streets this afternoon, the motorman and conductor having been stoned by a small mob. Three shots were fired into an Oakland car during the forenoon at c the corner of Union and Washington ( streets, the assailants having hidden c in a new building being erected at 1 that corner. J Of the fifteen men arrested yesterday for mob violence only one was r fined in the municipal court this I morning. ' At 10:30 o'clock to-night police re- C serves were rushed to the extreme r end of Main street, where a mob of strike sympathizers were engaged in tearing up the street car tracks. Two members of the gang were placed un- j der arrest. _ ?3 Vaughn oeeds His Property. 1 Greenville, Oct. 30.?The public ^ records in the office of the Register 1 of Mesne Conveyance shows that on a the 17th day of this month T. U. a Vaughn, for a consideration of $8,- t 000 conveyed to Mrs. Ella Neves c Vaughn the former's home on the t north side of Carrier street. The witnesses to the transaction i were J. R. Loftis and Esten C. Vaughn. The deed was probated Oc- t tober 23 rd before Notary Public Jo- i seph A. McCullough. I FOl*M> A SACKED LAKE. jlolden Ornaments Kecovered from Guatavita Shown. Scores of antiquarians and others interested in the races that inhabited :he American continent before the coming of the white man visited the issemblv room at the Waldorf-Astoria hotel to see the relics recently caken from the sacred lake of Gua:avita, near Bogota, Colombia, and brought to New York by Mr. Hartley Knowles, of London, the New York tterald reports. The story of the finding of the relics, which consist of gold ornaments, emeralds and pottery, reads like a romance. Ever since the Spaniards conquered the Indian race that inhabited the fertile plateau in Colombia, efforts have been made to recover treasures sunk in the lake each rear by the Indians as a religious rite. Spaniards undertook the task, but draining the lake was too difficult for them. Another determined ittempt was made in 1823 by Capt. 3harles Stuart Cochrane, an Englishman, but it ended in failure. In 1900 a British corporation was formed, and it tunneled the mountains ind drained the lake. It has now aegun to mine the relics buried deep in the mud. Lake Guatavita is almost in the center of the Great Andean plateau :hat was the home of the Chibch kingdom, composed of Indians who ived by agriculture and who had a civilized form of government. One }f their cities, Usaquen, is said to cave had more than a million inhabtants. The Chibchas paid homage to two ?ods. The sun was the beneficent ieity, and the antithesis of the sun )r evil spirit they believed was a luge serpent, which lived in the cen;er of lake Guatavita and which when mgered brought storms, drought ind all the other evils which some ;imes afflict an agricultural popuia;ion. Therefore, though they hated :he serpent, they pretended to worship him and sought to propitiate lis wrath by gifts. Four temples to the serpent stood >n the bank of the lake, which was inly a mile across, but very deep. 3nce a year a great feast was given he-serpent devil. The chief cerenony consisted of casting gold ornanents and other precious objects in;o the center of the lake, where the jod could get them. The exact cen;er was found by stretching two hide opes in the form of a cross, from the our temples. Rafts were then profiled toward the center of the lake, imid the din of musical instruments md the cheering of the multitude. Dne raft was occupied by the ruler, vhose body was covered with gold lust. When the precious objects vere dumped overboard the ruler limself jumped into the lake and vashed off the gold. The first Spaniards to visit the country witnessed these ceremonies, md the practice gave rise to the Jnanich Ipjypnri El Dorado. WIFE A SUFFREGETTE. >he Insists on Working Instead of Staying at Home. Boston, Oct. 30.?Because she was i suffragette and insisted on workng for her living even after they vere married, Edward H. Winter :ought a divorce to-day from Maude 3. Winter, in the Suffolk county :ourt. "My wife 'could not be content vith the home I provided for her," Winter told the judge, "and declared he wasn't going to sit at home and lo nothing. She said it was a wonan's place to work as much as her lusband did. "In spite of my objections she obained a position in a big department tore. One day she disappeared and have heard nothing of her since." Winter obtained his decree. t To Lose Frank if She Weds? Washington, Oct. 31.?A techniality may deprive Mrs. Grover Cleveland, widow of the ex-presilent, of her franking privilege after ler coming marriage to Prof. Thos. i. ricsuuu. The law which granted the same ight to Mrs. Harrison, widow of ex3resident Harrison, provides that the 'autograph signature of Frances F. Cleveland or of Anna S. Harrison" nust appear on all franked matter. Too Much to Swallow. Virginia, at five, was devoted to 3ible stories. She knew about Joeph, and grandmother was preparng her for the Exodus. "You see Jacob, whose other name vas Isarel, went down to Egypt with lis children and his grandchildren, md they married and had children, ind they kept on increasing until here were hundreds and hundreds >f them. And they were all called he 'children of Israel.' " At this point Virginia interrupted >olitely: "Grandmother, if you say this is rue I will believe it; but very few >eople have hundreds of children."? 2x. MORE TROOPS TO JACKSONVILLE Governor's Orders Despite Protest of Citizens?Strike Situation. Jacksonville, Fla., Oct. 31.?Despite the fact that the city council passed resolutions which were wired to Gov. Gilchrist at Tallahassee, requesting that troops be withdrawn from Jacksonville, claiming that the situation does not warrant their pres ence here, the governor has ordered more companies to proceed to this city by first train, several of them being scheduled to arrive to-morrovi morning, including the companj from the capital city. Throughout the day petitions have been circulated, which were signed by hundreds, requesting that troops be withdrawn. This movement on the part of the city council and citizens is a puzzling question, for or Tuesday the police were unable tc cope with the situation. Not a cai was brought from the barns of the Jacksonville Traction Company today, and everything has been extremely quiet about the city. Sol* <l:2rs are guarding the company's property, while hundreds of reserves are held at the armory and in othei buildings. Four big army wagons reached the city from the Black Point camp grounds this afternoon, laden with tents and cots for the soldiers. Nc trouble is anticipated to-night, and it is unofficially announced thai street cars will be operated #in the principal parts of the city to-morrow. Briefs About Babies. The peasantry of Greece firmly believe that the future of every child is determined by three fates, known as the Moral. The trio is supposed to be three old and wrinkled women who dwell in a mountain cave, and who come simultaneously to the house in which a new baby has made its appearance, says the New York Times. In order that their aged and uncertain feet may not be hindered, all furniture is carefully set aside, and honey, cakes, bread and wine arc set out so that the important though * motr rofroch thom. ilivisxuie gucais may n-u von selves. If the household is sufficiently wealthy to possess a little real money, this too, is placed on the table with food. All things, good and bad, are in the hands of the three Fates. On no account .must the child's beauty be alluded to at the time when the visitor might be present. To do sc would cause its good looks to instantly disappear. Nothing must be said or done which might in any way annoy or displease the Moral, and this makes. the situation a bit difficult, as no one is quite sure what might or might not please them. The idea that ill luck will be the portion of the child who cuts its upper teeth first, is found in several lands. Among one or two African tribes this superstition is so strong that they regard it as a mercy to ? ? ~~~4-1.. Trill ornr /->Vii]rT TTTTTTPT JJ1 Uiliy Li > rvni a.1?J .. uvuv ?X- i teeth appear first and they do so. Should a child grow up bad in China, it is merely remarked that the parents forgot to bind its wrists, alluding to a very widespread superstition that if a.red cord is tied about an infant's wrist it cannot fail to grow up quiet and obedient. Spaniards lightly sweep the faces of their children with pine boughs in order to assure it a happy future. To keep the Irish baby from harm a belt of woman's hair is placed about it, and with the same object the Roumanian mother ties a red ribbon around the ankles of her infant. In Holland, garlic, salt bread and steak are put in the cradle of a newly born child, so that it may never want for food during its lifetime, and in order that the children of Wales may always be protected, a pair of tongs and a knife is placed in each bed. In Iceland, the cutting of the first tooth is celebrated by giving to the child a tiny lamb. Remarkable Meeting for Greenville. Greenville, Oct. 30.?The most remarkable gathering of a political nature held in Greenville for many years was the mass-meeting of the citizens of Greenville county at the Board of Trade rooms to-night, for the purpose of formally and effectively launching an independent candidate for the office of sheriff of this county. The result of the gathering was a unanimous indorsement of Mr. W. F. Verdin, of Austin township, as the indeDendent candidate to oppose Mr. but will be announced later. Mrs. utive office of the county. In the meeting were men from all walks of life. The mill operative, the farmer, the clerk, the merchant, the mill superintendent, the mill president, the banker, the broker and the barber were all represented. A more comprehensive collection of men would be very difficult to find. The meeting was the culmination of the opposition to Mr. Rector, because of the part he took in the arrest of Messrs. Gilreath, Gosnell, and Phillips. The meeting was not extensively advertised. ! THINKS IT IS VP TO ROOSEVELT. Schrank Relieves that His Victim Bears no Malice. Milwaukee, Nov. 1.?Believing 1 that Theodore Roosevelt does not I bear malice towards him, John Schrank, would-be slayer of the l colonel, expects to escape with a s light sentence. Schrank confided these expectat tions to Bernard H. Gottschalk, who i occupied a cell near that of the no torious prisoner. Gottschalk is a r former resident of New York. ' "Theodore Roosevelt is only human^ after all," Schrank said, accordj ing to Gottschalk. I "He was shot and has recovered. > Now, that it is all over and he has t had time for reflection, his better self surely has concluded that I should l be pitied and not condemned. When ? McKinley was shot he showed for' giveness. i "The entire case rests with Roose velt. I know if he will come here and speak for me and adopt a broad view of the matter I will get a light J sentence. His word will settle the 5 whole matter. I should think he ' would come here when the case is tried." [ ? Girl Injured by Boys' Pranks.

At Sixty-fourth street a girl walking across the street stepped into the wire loop.

Her clothes > had been torn off and some of her > hair had been pulled out and she was > bruised and cut from head to foot, i Her condition is serious. Pastor Spends Night in Jail. Patterson, N. J., Oct. 29.?The I members of the Cedar Cliff Methodist 1 Episcopal church, Halodon, learned > with astonishment that their belovi ed pastor, Rev. Warren P. Coon, had spent a night in the Passaic county jail, at Patterson in order to obtain 1 material for his sermon, "The Man i Behind the Bars." Tlie church people were thrilled with the talk of their pastor as he related his incidents wlyle mingling with the jailbirds. "I went to the jail," said the preacher in his sermon, "in order to get a psychological aspect of prisoners. It was a senastion that I did not relish, and all during the night I I lay awake? tossing restlessly on my cot in the cell. Several times I had '> the sensation of a man cautiously creeping up to the bars and peering ' in. It was the trusty. Twice he re peated the performance, and on the . third visit he asked me: t "Where did you come from? How ; long have you to stay old pal?" ? "The next morning I had him as a ' companion gt breakfast, and I tell you I was hungry and relished the not oversumptuous fare. s "The jail is clean, but there is poor light and in case of fire, what would the poor locked-in people do? I : dread such a calamity. I want to ? say at this time that there is need for better institutions to take care of i these unfortunates. We have fine li. braries and fine schools; why not ? penitentiaries that should be moral . hospitals? Men are not sent so much : to the place for punishment as a pro tection to society. The prisoners should be given work to do and not permitted to lounge around idly." PLURAL AND SINGULAR. We'll begin with box, and the plural is boxes, But the plural of ox should be oxen, not oxes, Then one fowl is goose, but two are called geese; You may find a lone mouse or a whole lot of mice, But the plural of house is houses, not hice, If the plural of man is always called men, Why shouldn't the plural of pan be called pen? The cow in the plural way may be cows or kine, ' But a bow if repeated is never called bine. And the plural of vow is vows, not vine, And if I speak of a foot and you show me your feet, And I give you a boot, would a pair be called beet? If one is a tooth and a whole set are teeth, Why shouldn't the plural of booth be called beeth? If the singular is this and the plural these Should the plural of kiss be nicknamed keese? Then one may be that, and three would be those, Yet hat in the plural would never be hose, ' - J ? ??i ? ? ? i /-wf not io nnta Tint.

If wine could- talk there are tw casks of it which passed throug Houston recently which would te an interesting story. This wine, consigned to a firm i Baltimore, was aboard the El Sii when that boat sank just out of Ga veston sometime ago. Three days ag the .casks were picked up by lifesa'1 ers of the United States lifesavin station at Point Isabel near Brown: ville. They were brought to Brownsvil] and turned over to the St. Loui Brownsville and Mexico Railroad. . A. Brown, general freight agent ( the line, ordered the goods shipped o to the firm to whom they were ori* inally consigned. The address of th: firm was still visible on the cast and there was no mistaking to whoi they should be sent. There is some doubt existing 1 the minds of railroad officials as t whom the liquor should be checkec It is the first case on record of good being given up by the sea to #a rat road company and there is no boo in the office for, keeping track of thi class of freight. The wine was orig inally sent by the Italian colony c Southern California.?Houston Pos The general election here Tuesda was a mighty quiet affair, still ther were more votes polled than is usue in general elections.
