THE STATUS OF THE INEXT LEGISLATURI ALL THE 162 LAWMAKERS WHITE AND DEMOCRATIC, Socialists Had Candidate for Govern or in the Field—Elections May Have Been Irregular. (Columbia Record.I Tuesday was election da\ and the qualified voters of this Slate, such of them as thought of it. exercised the right of tho ballot. The Democratic ticket for State officers and represent atives iu congress was of course, car ried by an overwhelming majority, al though State Democratic Chairman Wiiie Jones is of the opinion lhat the whole election was illegal and may have to be held all over again, be cause of certain technical defects in the ballot-form and the omission in Richland county of the name of the Democratic nominee for judge of pro bate. In three of tho congressional districts the Republicans had camii dates out for the national house of representatives, and those may at tempt contests, as they usually do, upon the smallness of the Democratic vote, hut. there is hardly any danger of the Democratic congressmen los 1 ing their seats. The Socialists had a candidate out for governor against the Democratic nominee. Ansel, but he was put forward simply to test t ho strength of that party, and there was no thought of Ids making any thing like a race against Ansel. The following was tho State ticket elected: M. F.

(' ifton, Nov. !).—It has been quite a while since your correspondent has attempted to offer to The Ledger anything in the Jne of Clifton news, and at the present time verv little is afloat that is in anywise interesting to anyone. Business In all lines is verv brisk and all who will work keep busy. Very little cotton is put on the market of late davs. It is selling at Hi;50, the best sample. Mr. C. A.

Spartanburg, Oct. 31.—Jennie Lee Carter, age six months, a daughter of Mr. and Mrs. J. D. Carter, died in her mother’s arms in the waiting room at the Southern depot this morning. Mrs. Carter and her family of young children were on their way to Ashe ville. She had just arrived at the sta tion and was waiting for her husband. The chi d w-.as taken sick and died be fore medical aid arrived. The death scene was most pathetic and keen sympathy was felt for the grief- stricken mother. “For years I starved, then I bought a 50 cent bottle of Kodol Dyspepsia Cure, and what that bottle benefitted me all the go'd in Georgia could not buy.

The waves crashed against the massive embankment of stone and showers of white spray rose high in the sunlit air. “This is heavenly. But what is it like in your observatory when Vesu vius is active?” some one asked. “It is not like heaven,” said Prof. Matteucci. “It reminds me of a story about a Neapolitan widow whose hus band had been dead some years, One night she was persuaded to go to a spiritualists seance, and there the spirit of her dead husband appeared and spoke with her. “ ‘My dear Agostino,’ said the wid ow to the shade, ‘are you happy now?’ “ ’! am very happy.’ Agostino an swered. “ ‘Happier than you were on earth with me?’ asked the widow. “ ‘Yes,’ replied the shade. ‘I am far. far happier now than I was on oarth with you.’ "The widow was sil *nt a moment.
