MADE CLE? SWEEP THE DEMOCRATIC VICTORY IS GREATEST ON RECORD CARRIED MANY STATES Twenty Governors Adorn th? Democratic Battle Lino, the House in Democratic by a Large Majority, and the Senate Will Also be Controlled by the Democrats. The net results of the general election held 011 Tuesday were staggering to even the most sanguine of Democrats. They iucluded: The election of Wilson and Marshall, the Democratic candidates for President and Vice-President, by the largest electoral majority ever returned, the final figures being: Wilson, 452; Roosevelt, 177; Taft, 12. Wilson's majority, 3 2 0. An assured majority of the United States Senate coincident with tho inauguration of President-elect Wilson. a mntnHtv of 149 in tho next) House of Representatives. The election of ID Democratic Governors to replace Republicans. The control, by the Democrats of New Jersey and New York, of the Legislative brandies in mose States, which insures a Democratic successor to President-elect Wilson as Governor of New Jersey and William Hughes (Democrat) as United States Senator to succeed Ilriggs (Republican ). The States carried by Wilson and Marshall were as follows: Alabama, Arizona, Arkansas, California, Colorado, Connecticut, Delaware, Florida, Georgia, Indiana, Iowa, Kentucky, Louisiana, Maine,J Maryland, Massachusetts, Mississippi, Missouri, Montana, Nebraska, Nevada, New Hampshire, New Jer-| sey, New Mexico, New York, North Carolina, North Dakota, Ohio, Oklahoma, Oregon, Rhode Island, South Carolina, Tennessee, -Texas, Virginia, West Virginia, Wisconsin, and Wyoming. These States have a total electoral vote of 452. The majority of Wilson over both Taft and Roosevelt is the largest ever given a President. In 19o4 Roosevelt had a majority over Parker of ififi votes. In 1 008 Taft's majority over nryan was 159. The number of States carried by Wilson?39?is also the largest number ever carried by a candidate for the Presidency. Only once before in the history of the country has a President ever carried so large a proportion of States. That was in 1852, when Franklin Pierce carried all but four of the 31 States in the Union and secured 254 electoral votes to 42 for General Scott. The victory of the Democratic national candidates was so complete that there was really more interest in the division of tne Republican vote between Taft and Roosevelt than as to the exact size of Wilson's plurality over either in'States where one or the other polled the larger percentage of the Repubrrcan. That President-elect Wilson's plurality would break the record? 2,500,000 for Roosevelt in 1 904 ? was indicated by the returns received up to Wednesday midnight, which indicated a total vote throughout the country of about 15,500,000. There is at present no definite information as to the entire number of votes received by eerier President Taft or Roosevelt. The supporters of each candidate find some little consolation in alleged supremacy in this respect. The v?\o rrom States carried by Col. Roosevelt or where he ran second indicate a lead over Taft of about 1,000,000 votes; his supporters claim more. J no ran vote in the Southern States has not been tabulated fully enough to justify comparison. The President ran ahead of the Colonel in Connecticut, Delaware, Florida, Georgia, town, Kentucky, Massachusetts, Mississippi, Montana, Nevada, New ITamponlre, New York, Ohio, Rhode Island, South Carolina, Wisconsin and Wyoming. The full figures will be requlrea to determine those in which Roosevelt ran second in addition to 'Maine, Maryland, Minnesota, Nebraska, New Jersey, North Carolina, North Dakota, Tennessee and Texas.

DEATH HATE DEDUCED. Tliere Are Many Unnecessary Deaths in This County. What might bo accomplished in every Southern State by properly supported State and county boards of health is indicated by what has been accomplished by New York City. Through improvements in sanitary regulations, greater knowledge of the laws of hygiene and numerous other activities of the health boards, * f ^ '1 h fntA 1 fl O A TX r\ n 11 1 *1 t \ f\T1 u:o uecuii x cue e i i,uvw JIUIJUIUUVH has been reduced from 36.3 1 in 1806, (tho year its Health Department was organized) to 15.13 last year. In other words, comparing the death r*W of tho year I 860 with the present 4Mtth rate, we rind less than half as large a proportion of deaths as then. Or, if we assume that 18G6 was an exceptional year, and take the entire ten-year period?18GG-7G ? we still find that the death rate has been reduced 4 0 per cent. A man who opposes adequate appropriations for public health, if he is ignorant, may bo guilty of unintentional manslaughter. Hut when we find a man who knows how many lives of men and women and little children might be saved if we had proper health oilicers in every county and State?for such a man who knows what health work would accomplish, to oppose adequate appropriations stamps him as almost guilty of murder. New York City, 1 860: the Health Department just organized; no work accomplished, 3,631 new graves in the course of the year for each 100,000 population. New York City, 1911: Health Department thoroughly organized and effective at work?only 1,5 13 new graves in the course of the year for each 100,000 population. Lives saved in New York City largely as a result of public health work, last year, (estimating population at 5,000,000), 55,900. How many unnecessary deaths are there in your county? WHAT COO!) ROADS MEAN, * To the Farmers in Hauling Their Crops to Market. There are more than 200,000,0 00 tons of farm products hauled over the roads of the United States every year, says Farm and Fireside. The average distance?the mean of the great and the least?from farm to market, is 9.4 miles. The average costs of hauling in the United States is from twenty-three to twenty-five i cents per ton per mile. The average cost on the good roads only of this county is from ten to twelve cents per miles. j Multiply 9.4 (average distance) r by twenty-three cents (average cost i per ton per mile) by 200,000,000 t (minimum tonnage hauled), and the - result is the tidy sum of $432,400, 000 spent yearly in hauling by the t farmers of tiiis country. If the cost c of hauling wero cut. in half they =* would save $210,200,000, which - would build nearly 100,000 miles of 5 good roads all by itself!

TURKEY TO BE CRUSHED Tho Defeated Turks to Reform Rehind the Last Line of Fortiilca-, I lions at Constantinople, Rut it is Not Relieved That They Can Long Check tho Allies. A London dispatch says the Turkish ambassador there nas been directed by tlie Ottoman government to Inform Great Britain of Turkey's willingness to receive assistance in bringing about a suspension of hostilities with a view of arriving at a peace settlement, but the Balkan nations and Greece are persistent in' their determination that Turkey i must arrange directly with them the' terms of peace without the inter-j vcntion of the European powers. Tho Turkish proposal of peace Is i satisfactory in so far as It shows a1 desire to prevent further bloodshed.' As regards foreign intervention, however, there seems to be no chance of the Balkan states listening to any foreign counsels while treating for the arrangement of conditions of peace. These must be settled between the Balkan states and Turkey direct. ! Those powers thus far consulted have responded to Turkey's appeal for mediation by declaring they could make only proposals for peace and could not approach one Balkan na-. tions with a request for an armis-' tice. The war must, therefore, continue and the Turkish army, which the porte has at last admitted has been beaten, must keep on with its unequal struggle against the victor-1 ious invaders. The terms of peace themselves are a matter entirely for the beligerents to settle, Bulgaria having again af-! firmed that no interference from the outside will be tolerated. In this she has the support of her allies, who settled the political as won as the military aspect of the campaign be-j fore the war was undertaken. In the meantime the war is going1 on and what was left of the Turkish! army after the defeat at Lule Burgas1 is rushing for supposed safety behind ' the line of forts at Tchatalja, with the Bulgarian left trying to cut them ofT. While the number of troops engaged in the series of battles fought between the Turkish and Bulgarian armies in Thrace during the last fortnight was not so large as that of the armies that fought in the Russo-Japanese war, yet this probably was the most savage and blood.v war ever fought in Europe. The fighting is followed by many massacres by the Turkish soldiers, the brutality of which is hardly believable. The reports issued by the Bulgarians are prooaniy exaggerated, i but the accounts of independent witnesses show that the situation in this respect is very had. The losses of tho two armies are mere guesswork, hut that they have been extremely heavy goes without! saying and it is probable that the Bulgarians, who attacked fortified ' positions, lost even more than the I Turks. One correspondent says 4 0,000 Turks have fallen since the battle of Kirk-Killissoh an il ?un!!ior that they lost 20,000 at T>ule Bursas. At the Bulgarian ministry of war, according to a dispatch from Sofia, the names of 4,000 dead Bulgarian soldiers have been listed and It Ts known that during the last few days 20,000 Bulgarians were wounded, half of them seriously. A correspondent refloating with the Turkish army telegraphs that for 3 0 miles he passed wounded men either lying on the ground or being transported on bullock carts, while others painfully dragged themselves: along. They had no food and there was not a habitation within ?0 miles. The prospect that a considerable portion of the defeated Turkish army will be able to reform behind the lilies of Tchatalja, the last fortifications before Constantinople, is not altogether excluded, but it is doubted whether the Turks will be able to maintain there any serious resistance to the Bulgarian advance. In tho struggle with the allies tho Turks lost more than half their artillery. In fact, the Servians alone claim to have captured no less than 3 00 gunp. This will certainly militate against j any prolonged stand at Tchatnlja. Up to the prosent. hour thoro is no i t .......l,.v v\qd ffinm nf 1 hp hlgll IIUIL anv>-n?i? porte's appeal to tho powers for mediation. No replies have l>oen received at Constantinople and there is little doubt that when they are received they will embody a declination to consider the idea of proposing an armistice. Apparently Bulgaria is in no mood to negoriate peace now. Although fight intr is still proceeding on the Tchorlu-Seral line and correspondents are. pending reports of Bulgarian and Turkish successes in that neighborhood according to which side they drnw inspiration from, tho ofTioial announcement from Constantinople that the Turks arc withdrawing to tho Tchatalja line ol of forts is not to be doubted, and it if evident that this fighting is morel\ an extensive reur <uard action tr cover the movement of the Turks to wards Constantinople. ?

WHAT A TEACHER HAS TO HAY A ROUT OUR FUTURE MEN. Things the Teacher Learnt* About Doya and Things Hhe Has to Do With and For Them. The following from Mlsa Linda Clement, of Mocksville, N. C., in ref! ereuce to boys, good and bad, should bo read by every mother and teacher 1 of boys. We agree fully with Miss Clement In all she says. There is 110 better judge of human nature than boys and girls. Hero is the article as we lind it in the Progressive Farmer: I have sometimes considered the man who prates of his knowledge of boy characteristics as he judges theru from the individual standpoint as a prize idiot. lie has been a boy and drawn on the memory of his past. 1 am even more fortunate?I have been a teacher and seven of the fullest years of my life I have spent studying boys. Cod made my sisters all brothers, and as a child I never could understand why I couldn't have been a boy. As a woman, I realize that my sympathetic understanding of the "man of to-morrow", draws much of Its strength from childhood associations?filling, fussing, being tor... ? .. t .1 n n ,( mhon ror<nnfllin(lnn? n 11 d 11IV 11 It'll rtiiu n nviii i a play came, being reinstated to the b'^st place they had to offer. As a teacher nothing has ever affected me so seriously or made me realize more fully the responsibility of my position than the tiny man and his first day at school. I can always see a mother's tear-dimmed eyes as she kisses him good-bye and starts him into his first little world alone. She realizes that the bumps an ' knocks must adjust his nature to those of oilier boys and she realizes, too. that hereafter teacher wields a more potent influence over his life than she. For the teachers sees him and tests him under different conditions from those of his sheltered home life. If teacher knows his family history, fortunate for her; but if not. with an intuition supernatural she must discern innate weak places?everybody has them?inherited, sometimes, generations back and cropping out in the form of cheating, swearing, taking advantage of others, immeasurable and uncontrollable tempers, lying, etc. Not all these characteristics to one boy but each possessing his peculiar weakness. Now how is teacher to cope with all these and look to lessons too? It has always seemed to me that textbooks and s?t tasks are secondary to character-building, and that the first essential for the teacher is to go about winning tho boy's love and faith in her, in order that she may more readily dicipline him. Discipline is the most misunderstood word in the teaching world. In the only country school I ever taught it meant a stick and "brute force". And one was supposed to use that stick on boys 21 years of age. Imagine it?a frail woman caning a six-foot man! In the most modern interpretation, discipline is a mechanical, clock-like obedience positively devoid of any feeling. To me the word is farreaching in its significance. It is something a pupil wants to do because he takes pride and interest, in it?something that he knows must,be he right thing for him since teacher thinks so?it is pride, faith, love, joy, ambit ion?all intermingled. There is nothing stronger in the small boy than his sense of injustice. Wound this once and whether mother, teacher, or one of any other intimate relation, you have shaken his faith almost for a life time; and you have sinned against yourself and him irretrievably. As a child, do you remember a flogging you received at home or school, when you knew that the administrator was merely giving vent to his temper, or do you remember a story some one you loved and tru^tnd r?ut on you? We don't like to speak of these things in the aft' years, but we do well to think of them, at the same time maintaining our self-control that we may not offend the faith and confidence of any child. In building our material homes we do not use soft stones for our foundations, since we realize the 8nfet\v and stead fasfness of our structure depend on the base we give it. To me, it seems that there is nothing flrmif for the foundations of character thafi the uncrumbling stone of truth. Show me a boy who habitually tells tho truth and I will point you to a great man of to-morrow. Lot mo tell you tho difference between truth and a lie. Truth is a square word?no round corners?no way of getting around it but to walk squarely and turn at the corners. A man ASKS you a question, yuii nnawoi inm fairly and squarely, looking him in the eye "Yes, air" or "No, air" whichever your answer may truthfully bo. Lies are circles?perfectly round ?so in (lie vernacular of the small boy you can tako "roundance" on them?that is you can act them out as effectively as you can tell them. 1 A man asks you somothing you don't ' care to tell-?you won't aay "yes" or ' "no", but you try to fool him by evasion, or "boating the devil 'round the stump" as some people aay. If you have deceived in any way you ' have lied, and as in the circle simile. it will come back to you. So, we * always should impress the boys of the rotten stone of lies and tho ultimate ruin of their structure if they build thereon. I have no patience with man or woman who speaks of one class of ' bovR as "little devils". There are a j few characteristics that most boys j have in common. Pre-eminent . among these are teasing, tormenting, fighting, manufacturing as much I nolso as an Indian scalping and some - other forms of throwing off the surplus energy that Is peculiar to their B.tNK OF (Jon wa ?

The Mate ami nvo ?eamcn u 1 uic Schooner John Maxwell, Took to the Lifeboats, Which Was Oveitinned and All the Men in it host Their Lives. C*apt. Fred Godfrey of i.Millbrldge, the master of the three-masted schooner John Maxwell, which was wrecked on the shoals off i\ew Inlet, N G., is the sole survivor of that i 11lated cralt. Alter enduring incredible hardships for twenty-four hours, he was saved at 1 o'clock Monday morning. 11 o was dragged ashore by the lifeguards of the New Inlet station as he came drifting, lashed to a piece of wreckage, through the turmoil of the foam-crested waves. , All of the other members of the crew, seven in number, perished 1 n the storm-whipped waters off the Inlet after the schooner struck the bai early Saturday morning. Only the names of the mate and the steward were known to the captain, the five seamen having signed on the ship recently. The mate was named Wallick and came from Boston. The steward was Alexander IMllmos o; Long Island, where he had a wife and two children. Darkness shut down Saturday with ("apt.

About midnight the mast to which the brave manner was clinging began to totter and sway before the attack-of wind and water. Seeing that it would soon follow the oilier sticks. Cant. Godfrey lowered himself to what was left oi the wave-swept deck. Just as the mast fell he reached the crane on the stern of the vessel. Before that was swept over the side he lashed himself to it with two turns of rope which had held him to the mast. Through the whirlpool of water the spar hobbled and tossed. Ashore the lifeguards got a glimpse of the captain as he started on his perilous \oyage. They rushed into the surf up to their armpits and as the spatcame hurtling through the breakers tl.ey threw a life line to the captain, lie, half drowned and barely conscious, grasped the rope and was hauled ashore. The battleship Michigan stood by the schooner, but was unable to rescue Capt. Godfrey. iii it. According to the srory toki me life-guards by Capt. Godfrey, Mate Wallick and five seamen perished early Saturday morning. Soon after the schooner struck trie mate and flvp men launched the one life-boat. Capt. Godfrey tried to persuade them to stick to the ship until the coast guard could make an effort to rescue them. Panic stricken at. the rapid rate the old vessel was going to pieces, they refused.
