Late Connecticut returns called for the eomnlete nvnrlnminor rtf thn delegation in the houtfe, five Democrats to bo succeeded by five Republi- ' cans. ? Heavy falling off of the Progressive ^ vote in manv States, the return to P congress of Former Speaker Joseph G. . Gannon, decisive Republican gains in , New York and Illinois in the houv? membershin and the overwhelminc 1 defeat of Representative A. Mitchell w Palmer by Senator Boise Penrose in Pennsylvania were features of the early returns. Democratic leaders, however, were ' pleased by a triumph in Massachusetts where Former Representative Samuel W. McCall was defeated for ^ the governorship by Gov. Walsh. Early returns indicated that the .1 Democrats would retain control of " congress with little change in the senate majorit" but by a decidedly reduced majority in the house. At a late hour results in Iidiana, California and Colorado as to the senatorship were in doubt. In Illinois, Roger C. Sullivan, who had the indorsement of most of the administration leaders, Secretary -y Bryan, excepted, apparently was elected over Lawrence Y. Sherman. Mr. Sullivan was leading in Chicago and Cook county by a large plurality over Senator L. Y. Sherman, Republican and Raymond Robins, Progres sive. I>ut Senator Sherman ran ahead J7 in the country. y1 Senator Shivelev, Democrat, found J.1 in the Indiana early returns a strong 11 opponent in Hugh Miller, Republican r< with Former Senator Beveridge, Progressive, holding a smaller vote than generally had been expected. Senator Shiveley's vote began to pick up at a late hour and administration leaders 0 were claiming his reelection. In Colorado, Senator Charles S. w Thomas, Democrat, was being hard ^ pressed by Herbert Work, Republican. ^ The triumph of Senator Penrose in w Pennsylvania over A. Mitchell Palm- jr er, Democrat, who was one of the ^ original supporters of Woodrow Wil- w son, and Gifford Pinchot, Progressive, q was overwhelming. ^ (Continued on page 4.) bi i ) RETAIN \ OF CONGRESS JNION COUNTY'S DEMONSTRATION BOOTH c I'aki'H Third Prize at State Fair?

He said the esponsibility of the measure would est with the general assembly. "If felt," he said, "that my action would e final, it may be that, holding the onviction I have, that this is the lost dangerous act of legislation that as ever been presented to the peonle f South Carolina, I would unhesiitingly give my executive disapprov1 of this act." But, he said, though e could not approve the measure, he id not feel justified in vetoing it and Hereby denying the people the priv? jge of passing on it for themselves.

One of the loveliest of the fall weddings was that which took place Wednesday evening when Miss Mary Sartor became the bride of Mr. Clanton Gould Estes, of Noxapater, Miss. The marriage was celebrated at the lovely suburban home of the bride's mother, Mrs. James Christopher Sartor and was witnessed by a large and representative assemblage of friends and relatives. An artistic color scheme prevailed in the decoration of the home. The parlor where the ceremony took place had an improvised altar built of ferns and growing plants and was softly lighted with candles. In the reception hall banks of autumn hued foliage filled jardineires and in contrast were baskets filled with snowy white chrysanthemums and ferns. The wedding 'music was played by Miss Mary Gregory of Santuc and at the first notes of the march, the bridal party formed and entered in the following order: The ribbon bearers were nieces of the bride, Misses Mary Frances and Zena Gilliam. They wore white lingerie dresses with pink sashes and pink bows in the hair. Immediately following them came the bridesmaids and groomsmen who entered together. They were Miss Marilla Brooks with Mr. Maxcey Crosby, Miss Carrie Smith with Mr. J. M. Ashemore of Greenville and Miss Bessie Murphy of Mt. Tabor with Mr. Parham Jeter of Santuc. The maids wore white lace gowns over green and broad pink girdles. v Completing the costumes were large arm bouquets of white chyrsanthemfrma^ Kext 1^.^nter was the ring his best man, Mr.~ Ben Gregory, await*ed the bride before the altar and the words which united these two lives were spoken by Rev.

A most unusual case has recently been tried in the Master's court here and afterwards passed upon by Judge Ernest Moore. Harry Coleman was convicted tbu last part of September, 1913. On October 1, 1913, he conveyed the entire tract of land which his father owned at his death to Calvin C. and Mary C. Alexander. There was about 200 or more acres, and those who know the lands say that it is worth at least $50 per acre. Sometime during the month of December, 1913, Mr. Samuel Litt'ejohn of Jonesville, S. C., received a letter written from Denver, Colorado, and mailed from Salt Lake City, Utah, bearing the post mark date of November 24, 1913, and in this letter Roland Coleman, son of the dead father, stated that he wanted his cousin John Kendrick to have charge of his part of his money, and his part of the land ,the estate. L. G. Southard and J. A. Sawyer, attorneys, filed a suit in the <K>urts of thiB county to recover Rolmd Coleman's part of his father's estate. "fn the meanwhile Wallace & > Barron, also of this city, filed a suit in the courts of this county to have Calvin C. Alexander appointed by the court as trustee for Roland Coleman. Both of these cases were referred by Judge S. W. G. Shipp to Master R. C. Williams for him to take the testimony and report his findings to the ' court. This letter to Samuel Littlejohn was , compared with a number of the acknowledged writings of Roland Coleman; a number of witnesses were examined on the genuineness of the letter. The Master held the letter to be a gehuine letter, that under that letter the attorneys were properly bringing the action, and that the land should be sold. The case then came on to be heard before Judge Ernest Moore. By his decision covering 4 pages, the Master is sustained in all his findings; and the court pronounces the letter as a genuine letter. Calvin C. Alexander was denied the right of a trusteeship. It is understood that Wallace and Barron will carry the case to the supreme court. Services at Lockhart. Rev. J. M.
