Pattlson, Democrat of Cincin nati Elected (Inventor of Ohio for Three Years by Large Majority. Elections were held last Tuesday in many cities and states of the country for mayor, governor and minor offices. The race for mayor of New York was one of the most interesting contests waged in the metropolis in many years and the end is not yet. McClellan, I Democrat; Hearst, Municipal Owner ship; and Ivins, Republican, were the candidates for the high office. Geo. B. McClellan, the present mayor received 228,651 votes; W. R. Hearst, 225,166 and Ivins 138,049. On the basis of alleged wholesale ille gal acts at the polls, Hearst immediate ly appealed to the Supreme Court of the United States to contest McClellan's re-election. It is said that thirty thou sand Hearst men voted for McClellan and it will be no surprise if Hearst is given the certificate of election when the contest is heard. District Attorney Jerome of New York was re-elected as an Independent. John M. Pattison, Democrat, was elected Governor of Ohio, defeating the Republican candidate by a plurality of 40,000. In Philadelphia the Reform Party won out over the regular Republicans by a majority of 43,000. The next governor of Massachusetts will be a Republican. Governor W. L. Douglas, Democrat, did not stand for re-election. DR. IRBY MAKES APPEAL. Join Ranks with the Cotton Grower and Carry the Fight on. To the Citizens of Laurens Township: Again I appeal for financial aid for the Cotton Association. Some have responded very liberally, but too many have failed. I need not remind you what the organization has done for you. When this struggle began last spring cotton was 6 1-2 cents, but in the face of the largest surplus the world had ever seen the price was pushed steadily upward to 10 cents by July. The cause of the cotton grower is the cause of us all. Every section not already organiz ed should get in line. In this struggle for the dearest inter est of our country you cannot, with im punity, stand aloof. You cannot afford to let this battle go on to either success or failure without having a part in the fight. Surely you will not be a listless looker-on while this struggle for our very existence goes on all over the Southland, reaping the benefits of oth er's labors and bearing no part of the burden. This is not merely a summer campaign. This fight must be kept up with unremitting vigilance, and with the mightiest energies of the bert brain and manhood of the South. All through the winter, all next spring, all through the long summer, and even then, the end will not be in sight. To sell our effort will mean defeat. You are not asked to make a sacrifice, but to work for your own interest. We must have means to carry on this work. The small sum of three cents a bale is asked. A sum so small as to never be missed by you, but which may mean much for your country. Pay your mon^y to Treasurer C. A. Power. If yo j can't find him, to any of the county officers. If you can't come send it by your neighbor. W. C. IRBY, President Laurens Township Cotton Association. November 14, 1905. A Question. When a visitor or visitors are on hand, who should suggest the hour of retiring? Is it the place of the hostess or guest? That question came up a few evenings ago around a certain fire- I side and it was not fully settled. The preponderance of opinion, as they say in the court house, leaned to the side of the guest and that she was the one ! to take the lead. Of course where visi tors and visited are on very friendly terms no such formality need be ob served. Like all questions this has two sides to it. When a visitor sees that the old man is getting restless and yawing and going for a drink of water, or if the eyes of the hostess begin to get glassy and she looks as if she was thinking of the dead past, it is time to make a break for bed. Good, common sense will always show the right way to get to bed. -Carolina Spartan. 100 Years Old. A frame house can be kept in good order for 100 years if painted with the L. & M.

And Lands In Jail Instead of Under the Big Show Tent. Simply to avoid the rush and the crowds on circus day Jim Austin, colored of the Rarksdale section was perhaps the first person to arrive in the city Friday morning. He wanted to "take in" the show but he had a little busi ness matter to arrange first m which he expected to raise a little cash. Cash is a mighty nice thing to have in one's jeans on a circus day, don't you know. Jim had figured this all out before he left home "endurin" the night with his white neighbor's nice,'sleek Jersey cow, and shortly after daylight he opened up negotiations with a local party for the sale of the cow, offering to take $12.50 for a Jersey. This looked suspicious and the mat ter was promptly reported to the police and Austin was immediately arrested by Chief Bagwell. When faced with the charge Austin gave in and confessed that he had stolen the cow from Mr. George McGil of Barksdalc. Subse quently he was turned over to Sheriff Duckett at the county jail.

Winches ter, of Baltimore, H. C. Fleitman, of New York; T. H. Rennio, of Grnnite ville; E. W. Robertson, of Columbia; Emslie Nicholson and T. C. Duncan, of Union. Somewhat of a sensation was created by the offer by the directors of a re ward of $1,1)00 for the return of the several valuable books of the Union cotton mills with evidence to convict the. person taking the books. One thou sand dollars reward will bo paid for merely the return of the books. These books disappeared from the offices some weeks ago. It was announced at the close of the meeting that the cotton contracts of the Union cotton mills had been closed out at a price ranging from 9.GO to 9.96. These contracts called for 88,000 bales, enough to hist the mill seven years, and were made in July by former President Duncan at the price of 11 cents. The directors also requested Col. Dun can to move out within the next ten days the offices of the Union Power and Manufacturing Company and the Union and Glenn Springs Company from the offices of the Union cotton mills. It was also decided that the salary which has been paid to Col. Duncan di- ' rcct since the re-organization should be stopped. ! Campbell Courtney, a son of Col. W. '? A.

The stage of the City Opera House Will be occupied on Nov. 17th by Mana ger Ernest Cooke's magnificent and up to-date production' of "Humpty Dumpty" with the great master of pantominc, George H. Adams, in the title role. This production is a com bination of comedy, opera, vaudeville and pantomine, welded into a most harmonious whole, intcrspeised with tho exquisite grand ballet divertise ment executed by a corps of beautiful and clever show girls, all presenting a scene of voluptuous animation scarcely 1 equaled and never excelled, and amid a ' shower of splendor in which over 20 people take part. The most noted of the vaudeville acts presented is that of "Erve," the won-1 derful mystery, delineating the birth of woman out of space and within the full view of the audience. This act is' one of the most noted now before the j American public and is a most marvel-1 ous performance in itself. It is befit-' tingly called "Erve," which literally, means life, and represents the creation ' of lovely woman, one of perfect form | and beauty, in utter defiance of the | laws of nature and science, and illus trating the absolute abandon in the dealing with the occult and the incredi ble instance of the incomprehensible will be blended in the impressive. Manager Cooke, having the interest of the theater going public at heart, has not forgotten that a clean, effi cient and up-to-date performance never fails to attract, and his present pro duction of "Humpty Dumpty" has in its fibre the very essentials of refine ment and artistic splendor.
