The new aenato will be composed of 51 republi cans and 41 democrats, as against 59 republicans and 33 democrats in the last congress—a net gain of 8 seats for the democrats. (In the house, ac cording to the returns of the election of Nov. 8 the democrats will have a reseiuiug a gain of 9 scats fo” the democrats and 1 for the republicans. Tlie states where the senatorial toea will fall from republican to deinocr.itic shoulders are Iiidiaua. Nel)ra.-ka, Mon tana. X' w ^ ork, Ohio, New Jersey, Maine. WoFt Vinrinia and Missouri. Tbe one republican gain occurred in North D;.koi;i, wiiere a republican suc cessor will bo chosen to complete the unrxpired term, of the late Senator Tixonipscn. deiuocrat. The legislature oi’ this st:ite will also elect another I'nited Stales senator to succeed Por ter J. McCumber, whose term ex pires in March Three of the sonators, included in the above count, have already been chosen. They are Isidor Raynor, of 3Iaryland, elected to succeed himself; John Sharp Williams elected to suc ceed Senator Money; and Carrol S. Page, of Vermont, elected to succeed himself. The term of the late Sena tor Daniel, of Virginia, expires this March, and as the regular session of the Virginia legislature does not con vene until 1912, either a special ses sion w'lll be called to elect his suc cessor, or Claude A. Swanson, who is serving by api)ointment, will retain his seat until next year. No successor will be chosen to the late Senator McEnery, of Louisiana, until 1912. His seat is at present be ing filled by ,1. R. Thornton, who w^as api>ointed by the governor. While the people of a few of the states have indicated their senatorial preference through a direct primary, there are bitter contests being carried on in the majority of the states where the senatorial vacancies occur. New York is a fair sample. It has been many years since the democratic party of the Empire State has had a member in the upper house of con gress, and there are a countless num ber of aspirants to the seat, which will be vacated by Chauncey M. De- Writing in Success Magazine of Au gust, Fred B. Johnson tells of farm ing in Canada. His description of the gambling chance of the w'heat grow ers during the latter part of August, is interesting and conveys an idea of the hazard cf farming in a cold country. The writer says: “For ten days and ten nights, early in August, he is thus uneasy. The hot sun of a long summer day helps the feeble patches of yellow' in the grain to make deep inroads in the mass of green. Day by day the'Con quering yellow’ sends its color over the receding green until the field stands haif and half.” “Night by night the homesteader watches the temperature, the winds, the clouds. Each night is a bit colder than the preceding one. There is sug gestion of frost in the air early one morning. The grain is now yellow with patches of green—the reverse of last w'eek’s condition. Under the influence of the blazing, burning sun, the yel low throws oft' the suggestion of frost and wades into the fast disappearing ranks of green. Two or three days raore and the green is gone, routed, vanquished. The yellow, now tipped into golden brown dominates the Hol'il. Another day or so, and early one morning a binder signs in the field. The grain is ripe and ready. It has been saved, and none is there to care for the biting, stinging, killing frost that comes a few nights later. The homesteader has made a gamble. He has ganibled with Nature—and vvron. “And this is the annual gamble that human beings are making with Na ture all throughout these w'estern pro vinces of Canada. During the ten-day period of ripening season, every year, there is the danger chat a killing frost will catch the grain. The margin of time between the ripening and the killing frosts is so small that every where in these growing provinces there is that anxious ten-day period— the anxiety based on the fear that the margin of safety will disappear and the frost catch the grain before it is ripe and ready.” What a contrast to the farming in Florida. The Canadian farmer wata one crop on which hinges his whole fortune, the* failure of which will leave him disconsolate in the long w'inter to follow. The Florida farmer v.ith his surety of making a success with one of his dozen or more crops. The warm climate certifying to him a yield of products w'hich w'ill hand somely repay him for his work. Should the Florida fai'mer lose out on one crop he has another to fall back on. Should his winter’s work prove unprofitable as a whole, he has the summer before him with various crops to be planted. The Florida farm er can make an even break under ex treme conditions. The Canadian farm er must bide his time to make another “gamble.” Thousands Have found by experience that Coffee is a false friend. One can Depend on POSTUM The pleasant invigoration of this famous food-drink warms and cheers. Postum contains no drugs. It helps where coffee hurts. **There's a Reason' Postum Cereal Company, Ltd., Battle Creek, Mich. ever, is making a strong fight. He represented his state in the senate many years ago, and has the support of many of the democratic state lead-' ers. In Massachusetts there is a strong fight to depose Henry Cabot Lodge and he will have considerable diificulty in being re-elected. Maine will elect a democrat to siic- ceed tiie veteran Eugene Hale. The most likely candidate is Charles F. Johnson, of Vx'aterville. The successor to Senator Aldrich of Rhode Island, w'ho has announced that he will retire w'ith the expiration of his term, will probably be Henry F. Lippitt. There are a few leaders, however, who believe that Aldrich will change his mind, and announce his candidacy at the eleventh hour. In Connecticut, George P. McLean, former governor, has entered the race against Senator Morgan G. Buikeley, who desires to succeed himself. West Virginia probably will choose between Clarence Watson, a wealthy coal man, or Henry Gassaway Davis, who has had service in the senate, as a democratic to succeed Nathan B. Scott, republican. The death of Alexander S. Clay will precipitate a senatorial contest in Georgia. By the primaries, held some months ago Florida selected ex-Con- gressman Broward to succeed James T. Taliaferro. Broward is dead and no choice for the vacancy has been made. Tennessee may send to Washington, one of three men—James B. Frazier, who now ably represents the state in the senate; Charles T. Cates, or Jacob M. Dickson, the latter secretary of war. Mississippi has elected John Sharp Williams. He will succeed Hernando D. Money, the minority leader of the senate. Texas will continue to be represented by Charles A. Culberson Missouri has selected James T. Reed, of Kansas City, as senator in the place of William Warner (republican, and he will be elected by a aemocratlc legislature. Indiana has named John W. Kern, as the democratic who shall succeed Albert J. Beveridge, the progressive republican. Ohio has a number of democrats from whom to make a choice as the successor of Charles Dick, republican. These include John R. McLean, pro prietor of the Cincinnati “Enquirer;” Atlee Pomerane and Edward J. Han ley. The last named is said to have the best chance. Michigan has chosen Congressman Charles E. Townsend, a republican, to succeed Julius C. Burrows. Wisconsin will return Senator Robt M. La Follette, Minnesota Moses E. Clapp, and North Dakota, Porter J. Mc Cumber. Iowa has filled the vacancy occas ioned by the death of Jonathan P. Dolliver in the person of Lafayette Young, editor of the Des Moines “Capital.” There is reason to believe that the relations between Mr, Young, who Is a standpatter, and Senator Cummins have Improved, and it would surprise no one here should Cummins agree to Young’s election. In the case Mr. Young should not be elected it is expected the honor will go to Harvey Ingham, editor-in-chief of the Des Moines “Register and Leader.” Standaid Oil Co. Case in Capital Special to The New^s. Raleigh. .Jan. —It is no texpected that Police .Justice Stronach will make his ruling in the Standard Oil Company case for some days as he exeptcts to review' typevrritten reports of the argument that was made before him by contending coun sel and also go over stenographic reports of the evidence before he makes his ruling as to the guilt or innocence of the Standard under the charges of violating the anti-trust law' through cutting prices in Ral eigh to destroy competition.

Griflan, Ga., Jan. 3.—Ten thousand dollars or higher for a near beer license is the aim of a campaign which started here today. The cam paign grows out of a legal race with a saloon keeper which thep rohibi- tionists lost at midnight Sunday. The present license of .$5,000 for selling near beer has heretofore been pro hibitive of the establishment of sa loons in Grifiin but Saturday night the prohibitionists learned that a license w'ould be taken out on new' year’s day. At one minute after mid night Sunday the prohibitionists se cured an injunction against the is suance of the license but w’hen the injunction arrived at the city clerk’s office four minutes later, it w'as found that the license had been is sued during the first minute after midnight. It is reported that the sa loon will open Wednesday. THE SOUTHERN Hotel at Waverly N. Y. Burned Field Trials Club Meets. By A.ssociated Press.

The fire started short ly after midnight. Help was sum moned from Sayre, Pa., a few miles aw'ay and the entire fire department of that town responded. W^ith its as sistance the fire was finally got un der control. The hotel was unoccupied, having been closed about two w'eeks ago. Ganison Held In Readiness By Associated Press. Madrid, Jan. 3.—A despatch from Vigo says the garrison at Valencia-Do- Minho, Portugal, lias been consigned to barracks upon orders from Lis-bon and ordered to be ready to move at a moment’s notice. According to the Vigo dispatch, the authorities of Moncac, a small town of Portugal 28 miles north of Vigo, sur prised and seized two automobiles leaded with rifles and dashed toward the intei’ior of Portugal. This discov ery W'as follow'ed with the order to the commander of the garrison of Valen cia Dominho. a Portuguese town on the left bank of the river Minho, on the northw'estern frontier. Special to The News. Lynchburg, Va., Jan. 3.—The gigan tic task of building a low grade double track line through the rugged hill coun try on which this city rests and across the ravines wnich surround it has just been completed by the Southern Rail way Company w'hich announces that it expects to begin the operation of pas senger and freight service over the new line very soon after the beginning of the New if ear. The extent of this improvement will be realized when it is understood that there has been an entire change of line for seven miles from Winesap, north of this city, to Durmid on the south, the most important construc tion features being the following: A tunnel 1,300 feet long under River- mont, a suburb of Lynchburg; a tun nel 120 feet long under Park avenue; a steel bridge 1,860 feet long and 150 feet high over the James river; steel viaducts 600 feet Ions and 115 high over Harris creek, 1,000 feet long and 135 feet high over Blackw'ater creek, and 500 feet long and 80 feet high over Fishing creek; a concrete viaduct 700 feet long carrying Fifth street over the railroad 3'ards in West Lynchburg; a concrete viaduct 150 feet long carry ing the Lynchburg w^ater supply, a steel viaduct 150 feet long carrying spur .track of the Norfolk & Western Railroad; and a concrete bridge 80 feet long carrying Tw'elfth street. The completion of this great work at Lynchburg w'hich has been under w^ay four and a half years, the con tract having been let on April 2, 1906, and the first w’ork done in May of that year, will be of great intei*est throughout the south as well as in the adjacent territory for the reason that the resulting benefits will not be con fined to the country immediately sur rounding this city, but every point on the Southern Railw'ay system, south of Lynchburg, will be given better fa cilities for freight and passenger ser vice to and from the east. The old line now in u.se crosses the James river at the foot of the hills and passes through a very restricted section on the east side of the city. The bridge over the James is at a very low^ level. Consequently every Southern freight and passenger train going out of Lynchburg, north or southbound, has to climb a very.heavy grade. By the use of the new line w'hich runs through the western part of the city on a much higher plane, the hea vy grades, north and south of Lynch burg, W'hich are now such an obstacle to through traffic, will be avoided and trains will pass through the city with out having to climb & grade exceeding 40 feet per mile. This great improve ment in grade and the substitution of double track for the present single track w'ill result in better handling of freight and passenger traffic over this section of the line which is sure to prove of benefit to the patrons of the Southern Railway. A.11 the through passenger trains of the Southern will be run over the new line and all through freight will also go over it. The local freight termi nals, now in use, wiTl be maintained and local passenger trains will u?e the old line and stop at the present pas senger station, this being in accord ance with the w'it;hes of the people of Lynchburg. Joseph Cabell Appointed. By Associated Press. New' Orleans, La., Jan. 3.—Circulars were received here last night announc- in gthe appointment of Joseph B.

When R. H. Jordan & Co. state that tbey have a remedy that only costs 50 cents and is guaranteed to cure any man or woman w'ho suffers from food fermentation, or money back, what are the poor stomach sufferers in Char lotte and vicinity going to do about it? Food fermentation causes belching, sour stomach, gas eructation, heart burn and that lump of lead feeling as you probably know. The name of this most remarkable stomach prescription is MI-O-NA. Most people call them MI-O-NA stom ach tablets because they know that there is no remedy so good for Indi gestion or stomach disorders. Here is one opinion: “I have been troubled with indiges tion for more than a year. I bought one box of MI-O-NA and it cured me Now I would not be without a box in the house for $5.0(k It saves a lot of doctor bills when you can be cured for 50 cents—Arthur Sederquest, 6 Nichols St., Wakefield, Mass.

New Orleans, La., Jan. 3.—The Mer chants and Manufacturers’ Bureau, in connection with the Progres-sive Union is'arranging a tour of Central America next March for the purpose of estab- lisliing closer trade relations.

An agent well ac quainted with Central American con ditions is to be employed to look up and investigate the s-tanding of cus tomers of the bureau. Noted Jockey Electrocuted. By Associated Press.
