Roosevelt's Plurality 'Greatest
Ever Given a Candidate. The
Solid South Broken.
New York, Nov. 9.- With the the
election returns still incomplete, the
plurality of President Roosevelt in the
nation, according to all indications
tonight, will exceed 1,500,000-the
greatest plurality ever given an
American candidate. The nearest
approach to this in 1396, when, Mc?
Kinley received a plurality apyroxi
znating 850,000 and is 1872 when
Grant received 762,991 pluaralitv.
Tonight the interest centres in Mis?
souri and Maryland. Late returns in?
dicate that the former State is in the
Republican column so far as presiden?
tial electors are concerned, but that
Jos."W Folk, tbe Democratic candidate,
has been elected governor. In Mary?
land the presidential vote will probab?
ly be cast for President Roosevelt.
Late returns tonight indicate that
Thomas A. Smith (Dem.) has been
elected to congress in the first district
by 450 plurality. Congressman Jack?
son of this district, tonight, however,
puts forward a claim of trick ballots
and fraud and says he will contest the
election.
In the other States it is simply a
question of pluralities.
The "solid truth" was broken by
the probable defection of Missouri
this section of the country usually
having 13 States in the Democratic
column. The figures tonight show
but 12 States with 233 votes for Judge
Parker.
President Roosevelt carried all the
northern States-swept them in fact
and tonight he bad 343 electoral votes.
The banner State is Pennsylvania.
Twenty- four hours after the polls
closed the returns from this State in?
dicate that Roosevelt's plurality
would reach 485,000. Next came
Illinois, where tba. president polled
approximately 225,000 more votes than
did Judge Parker. Ohio gave Roose?
velt 200,000 and New York 174,000.
The Nsw York city returns are still
incomplete but the amazement over
the result has not .subsided. Judge
Parker carried Greater New York by
only 41,000 votes.
In general the situation is chiefly in?
teresting tonight because of the fact
that the tickets in many of the States
were cut. President Roosevelt ran
ahead of his ticket in many localities,
notably in Massachusetts, where he
secured a plurality of 86,000 votes,
while the Republican candidate for
governor was defeated by 35.000. lu
that State the legislature is Republi?
can and the entire Republican 'ticket,
arith the exception of governor, was
elected. In Missouri circumstances
are similar.
lc Nebraska the definite announce?
ment that' the legislature is Re?
publican disposes of the statement
that William J. Brjan had aspirations
fora United States seaatorship. In
that State, too, the governorship is in
doubt, and it will reqmr official re?
turns to determine who is elected.
.Both sides claim a-victory.
There is a carious situation in Min?
nesota where Roosevelt secured 125.
.009 plurality, but where s Democratic
governor and a Republican lieutenant
governor were elected. The election
of a Democratic governor is the second
in the history of the State.
Chairman Babcock of the Republi?
can congressional committee has been
returned to congress from Wisconsin
bat Chairman Cowherd cf the Demo?
cratic congressional committee was de?
feated in Missouri.
The situation in Colorado presented
an interesting pha^e tonight. Roose?
velt has carried the State by probably
15,000, but the governorship is still in
donbt, both sides claiming a victory.

Principal Business Block Totally
Destroyed This Afternoon.
Columbia, Nov. 10. - A. ?50,000 fire
occurred at Johnston this afternoon,
one of the principal business blocks of
tbe Edgefield town being wipeud off
the man. The fire started at 1 o'clock
in a two story buildig occupied by J.
P. Duncan, the building aod house?

Very little of any of the stocks were

who claimed that he was the real
nominee of the party, beat Speo

RUSSIA NOT HEADY FOR PEAGE.
Unofficial Suggestion From Japan
That War be Settled by Arbitra?
tion Rejected.
Japan Will Not Repeat the Offer and War
Will Continue io a Finish Unless Neu?
tral Powers Interfere.
Tokio, Nov. IO.-It is reported that
General Stoessel, in command of the
Russian troops in Port Arthur has
asked for an armistice. The purpose
of his request is not stated. The
Japanese are said to have been inflam?
ed by the Russian abuse of Japanese
wounded and it is therefore hoped
that Gen. Stoessel will capitulate to
prevent the Japanese troops from
avenging these reported indignities.
Mine Kills Six Hundred Russians.
Cbefoo, Nov. 6.-A shell on No?
vember 6th demolished a land mine at
one of the Port Arthur forts,and be?
tween six and seven hundred Russians
were killed or wounded.
Another Assault Planned on Port Arthur.
Rome, Nov. 10.-A dispatch to the
G?male Di Roma from Toko says tho
bombardment of Port Arthur by the
Japanese under Admial Nogi is pro?
ceeding without interruption. Tho
report adds that plans are on foot or
fresh general assault.
London, Nov. 10, 4.45 p. m.-Japan
uiiofficially has made representations
to Russia looking to peace. This ac?
tion has resulted in failure and such
representations, even privately, ar?
not likely to be repeated by Japan.
Although the suggestion of a pacific
settlement waa made unofficially it ac?
tually had behind it ali the weight of
an offer by the Japanese government,.
It was made direct to Rnssia. No
power acted as an intermedian-. The
proposition was pct forward tentative?
ly and unofficially, so that the Japa?
nese government would be in position
to deny any report that it was suing
for Deace. The failure of these direct
negotiations, however, lesnlted in
bringing intervention within a meas?
urable distance. Foreign Secretary
Lansdowne's plea for arbitration yes?
terday evening at the Guild hall ban?
quet is taken here to be a pointed sug?
gestion to the United States and
France that the time is approaching
when the powerB must take some ac?
tion. It can be definitely stated that
Lord Lansdowne made his speech with
full knowledge that Japan will not re?
sent a proposition looking to peace
from th? three powers (the United
States, France and Great Britain).
There is a definite impression here
that the initiative will come from
President, Roosevelt though the action
would be joint.
In an interview regarding the fore?
going, Baron HayasM, the Japanese
minister, said:
"I should not he surprised to see
the three powers named, or two of
them, take the action suggested. Ex
atcly upon what basis of a settlement
peace could be seen red it is at pre?
sent impossible to see, but there is not
tho slightest doubt that combined re?
presentation?, especially if led by Pre?
sident Roosevelt, would have a far
reaching result between two countries
one of which was thoroughly defeated. !
it is comparatively easy to make peace
in this case, as neither side is thorough?
ly defeated yet. The prospects for:
the success of friendly intervention
have vastly increased. Since the com?
mencement of the war the two nations
now respect each other to a degree
never dreamed of before they met in
battle. That mutual respect is the most
hopeful factor for peace. Japan does
not want to go on fighting forever. ;
Vet, even with all the victories WOE ,
daring this war, her statesmen would'
render themselves liable to be most
seriously misunderstood, especially in
Kassia, if they openly suggested in
the nanita of humanity some method
whereby th.? war could he stopped, it
would be altogether different, how?
ever, at this stag? of the war, should
a friendly offer, prompted by that
sense of humanity which Japan can?
not voice lor fear of being misander
stood*. emanate from the United States
and Great Britain.but nothing can be
done auv.i the fall of Port Arther.
Rome, Nov. IL-The Tokio corres
! pondent of tb-* newspaper Messaggero
wires that a report has reached there
that Port Arthur has capitulated.
The Agenzia Libera, also, has a dis
patch from Chefoo stating that a mes?
senger from General Stoessel, in com?
mand of tliH Russian forces at Port
! Arthur, hex arrived at thc Japanese
j headquarters. It is believed that bis
purpose is to ascertain what condi?
tions th? Japanese will impose should
the Russians surrender Port Arthur.
News Not Officially Confirmed.
' London Nov. ll.-Several reports
from private and press sources are eur
: rent this morning that Port Arthur
? has fallen. No official confirmation
! has been received, however, and
j Baron Hayashi, the Japanese minis?
ter, say6 he bas received no intimation
that such an event has occurred.
Pretests Against Breach of Neutrality.
Birmingham, Frig., Nov. ll.--The
Post hears that the Japanese govern?
ment considers the permission granted
the Russian Baltic tient to coal at nen- '
tral ports ;? serious breach of neu- j
rralty. The Mikado's government, j
that paper says, has communicated in j
strong terms with several 10ai opean
governments in reference t<> this mat- j
ter.
Reported Fail of Port Arthur Discredited. ?
Washington, Nov. ll. The .lapa- j
nese Legation has received no news ;
from Tokio this morning corroborat?
ing the report of the ea?itulaton of
Geueiai Stoe>*el at Port Arthur. It
instated ttiKt advices of such an event
will be cabled here immeditely upon
receipt of official news at Tokio.
Russians Win a Night Fight.
St. Petersburg, Nov. H.-Lieut.
General Sakharoff today reports
a minor Russian success during last
night. Tbe contending forces in the
fight were not large. The Japanese
after a fight were driven from the
town of Erthaitzi.
London, Nov. 12.- The possibility of
immediate peace in the far East,
which has been reported in all parts of
the world, is not optimistically receiv?
ed in diplomatic circles. It is consid?
ered unlikely that either of the bel?
ligerents is d?sirions of quitting the
conflict. This is thought to be espec?
ially true in the case of the Japanese,
who are naturally anxious to secure
Port Arthur before considering peace.
It would cause great surprise in offi?
cial circles if an offer of mediation
should be accepted before the end of
the winter, when it is expected the re?
lative gains and losses of each will be
clearly defined and a good basis for a
peace settlement would be obtainable.
On the ocher hand, as diplomats
pointed out to your corespondent this
morning, there is always the possibil
tyi of unexpected happenings.
Home, Nov. 12.-A telegram from
Crete states that a battleship, two
cruisers and several torpedo boats of
the Baltic fleet have but in there in
need of repairs. This will probably
further delay the departure of the
fleet. The telegram adds that offi?
cers of the fleet state that they have
been informed that the Japanese have
arranged to attack the fleet in the
Red Sea.
BLOW A? THE RUM MACHINE.
Cherokee Couted the Cost Before
She Struck.
Colombia, Nev. 10.-The voters of
Cherokee County, when they voted the
dispensary ont, were fully advised of
the mopey cost and what jnoney they
would have to raise by taxation to
meet the money lesses. In the settle
I ment just had the ?county received
$10,658.41 in profits. Of this amount
$5,11917 went to the cities and an
equal amount to the county, and there
is a balance unexpended amounting to
$420. In addition to this Cherokee
County has received during the year
$3,170 92 from the dispensary funds
for school purposes, and it will get
its share of the undivided fund in
the State treasury.
?he levy for ordinary county pur?
poses in Cherokee County is the low?
est in the State,one mill, and this will
have to be at least duobled, it is
figured by Comptroller . General
Jones, to meet the losses from the dis?
pensary payments.
The people of Cherokee, however,
have figured that for every dollar they
get through the dispensary they spend
ten dollars with the dispensary, and
that with the dispensaries closed there
will be but little money spent for
liquor, and that the difference that
will be saved will result in a great net
economy to the county.
There is a clause in the Brice bill
the " cracker7 that was put no it by
the dispensary advocates which says
that any county voting out dispensa?
ries shall not participate in the sur?
plus from the dispensary profits go?
ing to the schools. The statute allows
the deficiency fund, that is fully cov?
ered by the constitution, to be paid,
bat states that, after the deficiency is
made ap, the surplus fund shall not
be divided among counties that have
voted dispensaries out.
Tfcere are some people, however,
who hold that under the provisions of
the Constitution the non-dispensary
coanties cannot be deprived of this
surplus, and there is likely to be an
issue made on this point in tho courts.
At all events it is claimed that Chero?
kee County cannot be kept out of the
profits that have been accumulated for
the schools while Cherokee County
.had its dispensaries and ' much of
which is still unpaid to the schools,
and is largely represented by stock in
the State and county dispensaries.
The vote in Cherokee County-five
to ,one-against the dispensary bas
proven an utter surprise to people
here who are interested in the dispen?
sary situation. The advocates and
frieuds of the system are very much
worried by this marked verdict of the
voters of Cherokee, and dc not quite
understand what it may lend to. The
action in Cherokee may lead to a State
contest and utterly shatter the hopes
o? the advocates of prohibition.
County action is the strong card for
the prohibitionists to play for a good
while yet.
Gaffney, Nov. S.-In Cherokee the
first (:lecton under the Brice law has
resulted in nu overwhelming defeat
for the dispensary. By a vote of six
to one the county has voted to close
the dispensaries. Fourteen out of 2i
boxes reported give dispensary l???aud
no dispensary 1,032.
In this county Senator Tillman j
made a speech urging the dispensary's
retention.

Kill Two Officers.
Huntington, W. Va., Nov. ll.
What promises to be one of the hard?
est fought battles in the history of fend
-ridden Fayette county is imminent
in the mountains south of Montgom?
ery, where an armed posse of two
hnndred men are believed to have sur?
rounded Harvey Jackson and two
brothers, who are wanted for the mur?
der of Sheriff Daniels, and John Kol?
on Thursday. The Jacksons are
known to have two Winchesters and
several revolvers apiece and they are
not expected to be taken alive as they
know, if caught, they will he lynch?
ed. Owing to the inaccessibility of
the country it is hard to get news.
The whole country side is worked up
to fever pitch. The whole trouble
grows ont of the murder of Constable
W. A. Jackson, by Policeman Elliott,
following an argument Wednesday
night. Hearing of the murder his
brother. Harvey Jackson, and two
brothers started to clean out the en?

They killed Sheriff Daniels and also

A DISPENSARY MURDER.
Two Constables Kill Each Other
Near Eastover in a Drunken
Fight Over an Overcoat.
Columbia, Nov. 9.-News was re?
ceived here tonight of a double kill?
ing at Eastover, in the lower part of
this country, the participants being
Dispensary Constables R. L. Irby and
S. A. Phillips. According to the re?
port received here rhe two men quar?
relled over an overcoat and both pro?
duced pistolls, firing together. Phil?
lips was instantly killed and Irby liv?
ed for about an hour. Both were be?
lieved to be under the inflnence of
whiskey.
As soon as Chief Constable Hammet
heard of the killing he notified Coro?
ner Green, who directed that the bod?
ies be taken charge of by Magistrate
Wertz, who lives in the neighbor?
hood. The men had gone down to
Eastover on their regular round of
inspection of the district, and their
quarrel was purely a personal one, in
which the dispensary played no part.
The tragic part or the whole matter
is that"Su A. Phillis came from East?
on and was killed within a few rods
of tho home where he was born, and
dies leaving a wife and two children.
He balbeen on the force about eigh?
teen months and was appointed by the
Governor after being highly recom
! mended by leading citizens of Rich?
land County.
R.'L. Irby wa3 from Laurens county
and was a nephew of the late Senator
Irby. He had bean on the constabul?
ary force about seven years. Chief
Hammet said tonight that he was one
of the best dispensary constables in
the State, and the best in this dis?
trict. He was married and leaves a
wife and one child. Chief Hammet
regrets the tragedy very much, and
said tonight that if the men were
drinking it was in direct violation of
the orders issued the force.

Columbia, Nov. H.-At the regular
monthly meeting of the board of re?
gents of the State Hospital for the In?
sane yesterday it was decided to raise
for consnmption as many beef cattle
and hogs as is consistent with the
needs of the institution. For the pre?
sent the beef contract has "been divid?
ed between Pope and Heriot, local
butchers.
Capt. Iredell Jones of Rock Hill,
who has been a member of the beard
of regents for 18 years and has seen
the development of the institution in
that time, 6aid last night that the
people of tho sooth are getting fired
of depending upon St. Louis for beef.
The movement to buy cattle on tho
hDof and to feed them for slaughter
has become quite general throughout
the south and he is satisfied that the
State Hospital can fatten its beef cat?
tle at two-thirds of the ccst of buying
from the markets.
It is also the purpose of rhe board
of regents to raise for use in the hos?
pital a large number of hogs. There
is a lot of offal matter on the farms
which can be used to fatten hogs, and
it is the purpose of the board to use
everything fnr some purpose.

Indigestion Causes
Cat arr H of tKe
Stomach*
For many years it has been supposed that
Catarrh of the Stomach caused indigestion
and dyspepsia, but the truth is exactly the
opposite. Indigestion causes catarrh. Re?
peated attacks of indigestion inflames th?
mucous membranes lining the stomach and
exposes the nerves of the stomach, thus caus?
ing the glands to secrete muc?n ir?;?ad of
the juices of natural digestion. This is
called Catarrh of the Stomach.
