West Is Amazing?He|ml?lleans

Several of the Western States.

and 7 7 more than a majority out of
the total electoral vote of 4Sit.

twelve loss than ho received in 1890.
In 1 904 Mr. Parker received only
140 votes, in 1900 Mr. Dryan received

No changes of mnterial Interest
have been reported In the Congressional
returns. The Republicans will
not have as large a working majority
in the 61st Congress as at present,
but 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 Republicans who have
failed of re-election.
The Democrats gained several
members in Indiana and Nebraska
They also gained one Slenator in
Indiana. The latest returns indicate
that in the national House of
Representatives, tin; Republicans will
have 208 members, and the Democrats
172, with eleven districts missing.
Judge Tuft's plurality in the State
of New York, according to corrected
reports, is 203,4 95, more than
2 8,000 in excess of President Roosevelt's
plurality of four years ago.
Governor Charles 10. Hughes was reelected
in New York State by 71,159
The returns as between President
and Governor indicate a heavy splitting
of tickets.
The heavy vote In Ohio made Azures
extraordinarily late owing to
the immense size of the hallot. Mr.
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 Democratic
State ticket in Ohio, headed
by Judson Harmon for Governor, appears
to be safely elected. The State
Legislature, which is to choose a
successor to Senator Foraker, appears
to be In doubt as between the
Republicans and Democrats.
In Indiana Mr. Taft was successful
In carrying the State by about 8,000
but the entire Democratic State ticket,
headed by Mr. Marshall for Governor,
was elected. The Congressional
delegation from the State sh?w
a gain of seven Democrats.
The returns from West Virginia,
owing to the mountainous character
of the country, are slow in corning
In. A sufficient number of counties
and districts have bee? heard from,
however, to show that Mr. Taft has
as safe plurality.
Colorado shifted from the doubtful
column to the Bryan list. The Legislature,
which is to chooao a successor
to Senator Teller, also is apparent
Democratic.
Mr. Bryan's victory in his home
State of Nebraska, was a sweeping
one. Five of Nebraska's six Con
gressmen will be Democrats, while in
the Legislature only 18 Republicans
seem to be elected out of a total of
133 Senators and Representatives.

standing near the church, was struck
by a brick falling from tlio chimney
which was wrecked by the balloon,
his skull was fractured and he may
die.
A strong wind was blowing and
all efforts were made to persuade the
aerenot not to attempt an ascension.
In reply ho said: "I will
make the jump today if I break my
neck in doing it." Those wero the
last words he spoke as ho left the
cart h.
When the ropes were loosened
the balloon shot upward and before
Prof. Kramer could unfasten the
rope which held his parachute to the
balloon he was hurled against the (
chimney. lie was crushed by the ,
blow.
The balloon bounded along on
the roof until it collided with the

rolled to the edge and plunged to
the ground thirty feet below. *

TREE FROM EACH COUNTY.
Becker Wishes to Have Them on
StAte House Grounds.
The State says Mr. August F.
Becker, who is in charge of the
improvements Being made on the
State house grounds, /proposes to
put into execution a novel plan to
make the State house grounds beautiful
and in addition to provide as
sociations that in later years will
mean much to South Carolina and
her people.
Many of the trees on the western
side of the State house must be
taken up and replaced by others.
Mr. Becker's idea is to have a tree
from each county in the State and
if possible to have each tree different
in variety. With a little assistance
from South Caralina citizens in each
of the counties this plan should
materallze in the near future.
Mr. Becker is very anxious to succeed
in this plan and urges th it
every effort be made by South Carolina
citizens to assist him in realiz
nig i ms nope. lie solicits correspondence
with reference to this
matter.

CAIl KIMiS SMALL BOY.
Mangled Body Found on Brake
Beams by Motorman,
New York, Nov. 5.?Carrying on
ita brake-beams the mangled body of
small boy, a trolley car ran for more
than three miles along Second aver
nue last night without the motorman
knowing that he had ever hit.
much less killed a person.
The motorman told the police
when he was arrested, charged with
homicide, that he remembered a
bumping of the car at 99th street,
but gave it very little attention. At
96th street the bumping was repeated
several times. At 4 6th street
the car stopped and the motorman
crawled under it to see what was
the matter with the motor. Ho was
horrified to discover the horribly
mangled body of a boy apparently
about nine years old.
He collapsed and was assisted
from under the car by the conductor.
The car was filled and when the
passengers found out what caused
the delay several women fainted.
It is thought that the boy was
Salvntor Cantplope, although the
body was so badly mangled as to make
identification, except by the
clothing an impsosihility.
Another child of the same family!
was killed by a trolley car three
years ago.
STEVENSON WILL CONTEST.
Democratic Candidate for Governor
of Illinois not Satisfied.
Chicago, Nov. 6.?The election of
Governor Chas. C. Deenen to serve
another term as Governor of Illinois,
will he contested by his Democratic
rival, according to a signed statement
issued tonight by Charles
itoeschenstein, chairman of the Democratic
State central committee. The
statement follows:
"I am convinced that with a co~- i
rect count, and an honest canvass
Adlai E. Stevenson has a plurality of (
the vote cast in the election last
Tuesday for Goveronr of Illinois
The demand for arecount will be
made upon the Legislautre as provided
for in the statutes."
Governor Deenen's plurality is estimated
at froin 23,000 to 20,000 ,
Hen II. Atwell, secretary to Chairman
Hoeschenstein, explained that ,
errors in the count had already boon ,
discovered in several precincts and
it was calculated that if only throe
ballots in each of the 4,000 voting (
precincts in Illinois wore taken from
Deenen and given on recount to Ste
venson, the latter would bo found
to have won the election. *

OOTTON PICKER
Made Great Hit at the Fair Held ait
Augusta.
The Augusta Chronicle says a close
observation of the cotton picker at
the Fair grounds tells one that the J
problem has been solved and that
the salvation of the farmer has been
found. The picker was invented by
Mr. lien Chew, and is one of the
most ingenious machines ever put
together.
This cotton picker is made different
from any picker ever yet put before
the farmers of the country.
This machine is made so that four
little saws work in together, all
turning to a central point. The little
saws pull the cotton from the
bolls and a gasoline engine running
a fan causes the cotton to be sucked
through a hose and into the
wagon body. kn this way one of
those machines will pick more cotton
than a half dozen negroes.
Four of the machines can be operated
from one wagon, and one
horse can pull the wagon.
The little machine is so construched
that it is almost unbreakable and
is so simple that even a child can
operate it. There is no danger
about the saw cutting the person operating
it, as they are all so arranged
that they are not exposed.
This machine promises to bring
about the results that will cause a
new era in the cotton industry. The
picking of the cotton has been a
great problem, but with this little
machine the work will be made
easy.
PARKER ON THE ELECTION.
A Hryan Victory Would Have Recti
For Country.
Washington, Nov. 5.?"While 1
believe that Judge Taft will ably and
conscientiously perform tho duties
of the Presidency, I am nevertheless
of the opinion that the election
of Mr. Hryan would have been far
better for the country," said Judge
Alton H. Parker, of New York, the
Democratic nominee for President
in 1904, in a statement Issued here
last night.
"While we are greatly disappoint- 1
ed, we should not be discouraged. It
is apparent as we scrutinize the
source and volume of the support of
the assistant Republican parties, viz,
the Populist and Independent par-,
lies, that tho Democratic party must
continue to be one of the two great
parties,
"Now for the first time In years."
says Judge Parker in conclusion, ,
"we have a united party. Once again ;
there is a disposition among its ,
members to reason together and
work together for tho public good.
We should, therefore, congratulate <
Mr. Hryan and ourselves upon this
Improvement of general party conditions
under his candidacy and set
Durselves resolutely to the strengthening
of the party for the contests
af the future. * ,
