New York.?Late returns from
Tuesday's election served only to increase
the advantage of Prseident
Wilson, who now seems assured of
at least 272 and probably 276 votes
in the clectorial college, New Hampshire,
which has wavered from Wilson
to Hughes for three days, late
today dropped into the Democratic
column by a plurality of G3 votes.
This was on complete certified returns
in the hands of the secretary
of state.
The few additional returns from
California and New Mexico did not
reduce Mr. Wilson's lead in those
States. In addition the Democrats
found comfort in a dispatch from Los
Angeles which said that a difference
of only 654 votes was found between
the highest and lowest of the Democratic
electors in the semi-official

t
Barnwell Physician and Druggist
Being Tried in the
Federal Court.
Columbia, Nov. 9?E. L. Patterson,
a physician, and C. N. Bulkhalter, u
druggist, of Barnwell, were placed
on trial in United States district
court yesterday, on a charge of conspiracy
to violate the Harrison narcotic
act. Dr. Patterson is also under
indictment for issuing prescriptions,
alleged to have been false.
These cases were consolidated and
are being tried together. The government
completed its case and one
witness for the defense had been examined
when court adjourned until
10 o'clock this morning.
Kittie Russell, of Augusta, was the
star witness for the government yesterday.
She told of buying morphine
from C. N. Burkhalter and around
hei statements the district attorney
wound his case, introducing express
books, postoffice special delivery records
and witnesses to follow the line
of evidence brought out in her testimony.
Former Addict Testifies.
Kittie Russell said that she was at
one time addicted to the morphine
habit and that the two girls who lived
at her house, a young man who
made his home there and the cook all,
partook of the drug. She went to a
hospital for treatment for the habit
almost a year ago and since then had
not touched it. She testified that
she got intouch with Mr. Burkhalter
through a negro woman. She said
that she ordered the morphine by
special delivery letters and would
send $5 and receive the morphine in
return. Kittie stated emphatically
that she had never been in Barnwell
and that she had never applied
to Dr. Patterson for a prescription.
Lois Mears, of Charleston, who
was living at Kittie Russell's at the
time Kittie is alleged to have received
the morphine from Mr. Burkhalter,
testified that she put letters in
the mail for Kittie Russell marked
"C. N. Burkhalter, Barnwell, S. C.,"
and that they were sent by special
delivery. She said she saw express
packages which Kittie Russell received
and identified a label marked
"C. N. Burkhalter, Druggist, Barn
well, S. C."
The government offered C W.
Long, an internal revenue deputy
working under the Harrison act, who
said that he made the investigation
of the case and swore out the war*
| rant. He identified several prescriptions
as ones found in Mr. Burkhalter's
store on the narcotic file. He
said that Mr. Burkhalter was very!
frank with him, opening up every
tiling lu ins inspection, and mat Mr. i
Burkhalter told him that he thought!
he had complied with the law when
he had the prescriptions. Mr. Burkhalter,
he said, asked him for an interpretation
of the law. The prescriptions
were offered in evidence
and were examined carefully by the
jury. J. C. McAuliffe, an interna!
revenue deputy ; R. Lee Horne, a detective
from Augusta; C. J. Skinner,
United States commissioner at Augusta,
and H. W. Perkins, United
States deputy marshall, had previous
ly testified for the government.

THE HOEEY HE]
THE LATE COL J. D. HARBY
Appreciation of Well-Known Charlestonian.
His many friends heard with deepest
regret of the death of the late J.
D. Harby, of Charleston, October 20,
at the home of his son, at Huntington,
L. I. Mr. Harby's remains were
intencd in the Jewish Cemetery at
Sumter on October 29.
Jacob De La Motta Harby was
born in Mobile, Alabama, March 29,
i>48. His father was Levi Charles
Harby, who served as a midshipman
in tne war of 1812 in the United
States navy, lie attained to the
rank of captain and when South Carolina
seceded resigned from the service
of the United States and later
became a commodore in the ConiedI
crate navy. His mother was Leonora
DeLyon, the daughter of Judge
Levi Sheftall DeLyon, of Savannah,
i) 11 #1 f A kttnL^w*
miii (i Mvowuviuub ui rvui miaui i/u~
Lyon, one of the colonist who came
with Oglethorpe to settle Georgia
and to whom the English Crown
made a grant of lands for the purpose
of propagating "the olive and
iig and the fruitful vine."
The genealogy of J. D. Harby reveals
many interesting facts. His
ancestors of that name founded the
town of Harby, in England, 1009, A.
D., whence seven centuries later,
1781, came J. D. Harby's grandfather,
Solomon Harby, the first Harby
to emigrate to the new world. He
became a successful merchant in
Charleston, from which port his own
vessels bore the produce he shipoed
to distant markets.
Solomon Harby married the eldest
daughter of Meyer Moses, the well
known patriot and supporter of the
American Revolution. Their eldest
son, Isaac Harby, was a dramatist,
critic, teacher and reformer, being
the originator of the reform movement
among the Jews of America.
The second son of Solomon Harby
was Levi Charles Harby, the father
of J. D. Harby.
J. D. Harby was only fourteen
years of age when he took service
with the Confederacy, as a second
lieutenant in the Confederate States
navy. Later he resigned his commission
in order to join the Eighth
lion, in which he served with honor
to the end of the war.
I
It was while living in Texas that
he married Lee Cohen, the daughter
of Marx E. Cohen, of Charleston,
and Clear Spring Plantation, who
having suffered cruel. losses
through the war to which he gave
his all?including an only son?had,
later removed to Sumter to Uye??t
Two children were born to Mr.t and
Airs. Harby, both of whom survive
their father, Mrs. Lily Lee Harby, of
Charleston and M. E. Harby, of New
York.
After a period passed in commercial
activity in the North, Mr. Harby
settled in Charleston, with which
7 '
city he has, like his ancestors, been
proud to identify himself, and here
his later years have been passed. He
has devoted his attention to preserving
the old traditions of Charleston
and indeed of the South. His ancestors
having fought in the Revolutionary,
Indian and Mexican wars, J.
D. Harby has responded to and has
expressed his inborn love of country
through a devoted attention to and
labor for the preservation of its significant
historical incidents and traditions.
But his friends will always remem
ber "Jack" Harby best as a warmhearted,
loving, kindly, Southern
i.1 1
geuueman, wnose courtesy was unfailing
and whose princely manner
embodied the best of the "before the
war" traditions. Having travelled
much in this country he had friends
near and far, and many are they who
can bear testimony to the fact that
"Jack" Harby's hand and pocket
were ever ready to help a friend and
his kindly offices were always at the
demand of those who sought him.
In the bosom of his family he wa>
the epitome of the devoted and unselfish
husband and the loving, yet
guiding parent and grandfather.
He is mourned not only by devoted
relatives and friends, but also by
hundreds of fellow Confedreate Veterans,
chief among whom are the
members of the various organiza
tions to which he belonged, the Confederate
Veteran Association, of New
York; the Dick Dowling Camp, of
Houston, Texas; the Sterling Price
Camp, of Dallas, Texas, and the
Camp Sumter, U. C. V., at Charles
ton. He was also a member of the
St. Andrews Society, of Charleston.
