LEXINGTON,' N. C WEDNESDAY, N0VEMkiR 15, 1916. ' VOL. XXXV NO. 29 Tli BIG WILSOIT CELEBBATIOK. Lexington Went Wild With Joy for Woodrow Wilson's Great Victory - -on Friday Night. Lexington hag never seen such a celebration of political victory as was ' t - witnessed on Main Street Friday night from a little after night fall until way . toward midnight. Wednesday night, the premature news of Wilson's elec- ; tloff had. been sent out by officials, of ' some of the telegraph companies and the pent-up feelings of the throngs - anxiously awaiting news could not be restrained. 'The Erlanger Band dash' ed Into the crowd and cow bells and V Hreworks added to the din of cheer ,,. ing and singing. For several hours .,' this went on and then the crowd dls- y ' versed, without positive assurance yet . ! that Wilson had been again chosen to ,.! lead his people. Thursday Bight, ' however, the Associated . Press-flashed, the glad tidings that California, ' pivotal state, had swung definitely ln ' to the Wilson column and had given him the necessary strength in the " electoral college. It was rather late and the people jrere content to go i . borne with this t happy , benediction, awaiting Friday night, when, more i - mature plans could be arranged. - -Beginning promptly at seven-thirty, big parade started from the' monu ment led by a big American flag born triumphantly by Messrs. Ed F. Smith and John Cecil. Next followed Misses . ' Dorothy Mendenhall and Francis Holt Mountcastle, clothed in Old Glory and typifying Columbia. Mlses Faith, Price and Blanche Thompson wore khaki and cowboy oats and Misses Marguerite Pugh, Hilda Sheets and Mildred Wal ser wore dresses of pure white with hats in fleecy cotton, signifying the union of South and West in the elec tion. The Erlanger and Southmont bands and a cavalcade of torchlights, pedestrians, a big 'throng In all, swept down to Main Street to Sixth Avenue and back again to the bonfires lighted on either side of the monument. Yells for ','Wooarow Wilson,' songs of "Glory, glory hallelujah," the popping of firecrackers and the blaze of Ro- . man candles added to the noisemak- ing. Over in front of the Leazar Building a mammoth design had been erected and when set fire with torches , blazed into the words "Woodrow Wil son." This brought a big demonstra tion from the crowd. Joy .was unconflned everywhere, men, women and children of all ages' and sizes mingled together and tried to outdo each other in showing their joy at the president's victory. Around - the big bonfies the bands ranged up . and played Southern and national airs with much spirit The Southmont , Band gave Its Woodrow Wilson song, ' ... j which made a,, big hit... Young, men and men "of grey hair grabbed each '. " other In ecstacy and danced around the blazing barrels of tar. Over on the sidewalk in front of the drug store, the Smith Grove string band made merry with the olden tunes and the "pigeon wing" was cut freely to the old familiar tunes. It looked like the crowd had about finished, but it all broke out afresh. A big band of men and boys of all ages and from bii uaru ui iua cuuuiy ovnu march ud and down the street sing ing "Glory, glory, hallelujah,"' and the song swelled by cheering all along the way. This over, torches were again prepared and another brief torchlight parade was enjoyed. People from all parts of the county came to town and remained until late hour taking part in the festivities. .i Many of our local folks went over to ThomasvtHe Saturday night and help ed in the celebration there. . Wednes- . day night the Erlanger Band, than whom there were no more JoyTul mu sicians in the country, went over to Salisbury and helped the Rowan folks In their Jubilations. From all over the, state and nation come tidings of similar doings every' . ' where in unprecedented measure. But never before had there been a presl dentlal election Jlke this one, when the winner, coming from be hind in the final laps, stretched into : the lead and under the wire, an easy winner, while millions cheered from ocean to ocean. Never before was president elected without the rote of either New York. Indiana, Illinois, Iowa, ' Maine, Massachusetts or New Jersey. Nobody had hardly conceived ' such a thing could be done, but the . Wilson sentiment that swept South and West alike turned the trick and made the Democrats In all America happier perhaps than they had ever been before.

This week The Dispatch is carrying the table of the official vote cast in Davidson county in the election last week. An incomplete table in last issue contained several errors that are corrected this week. An error in tabulation gave Mr. 1). S. Sicelolt the honor of leading the Republican tick et, but this distinction was won by Mr.A. M. Hiatt, member of the board of county commissioners frcm Thom asvllle township,' who secured 13 more votes than ao other Republican voted on in the coun.

Orr, of Charlotte, and companion, when the Buick roadster Mr. Orr was driving crashed into the overhead bridge between Lexington and Wel come Saturday night. Just three inches separated the car and a fall to the tracks of the Southbound about thirty feet below. Once before a oar had crashed off this bridge and on to the railroad tracks and brought death to those taking the plunge. Only by striking a beam was the car Saturday night saved, from going over. With such force was the beam struck when the turn could not be made that a big ) steel girder was bent and the bridge Shoved about six inches out of line.

As much of the seed corn this fall Is soft on the cob, extra attention should be given to It in the manner of storage over winter to prevent a low vitality at planting time. As no real corn farmer nowadays would think of going to his crib at planting time to secure his seed, we will take It for granted that all have selected their seed at gathering time or possi bly before, which la still better. The seed, oars, fully double the amount that you expect to plant should be strung up with stout twine or wire and kept la 4 dry ana wsii ventila ted plane, so that la will cure out well before the treestng weather.

Huehes. defeated Republican candi date, has not yet conceded his defeat. Immediately upon receipt or tne pews that Wilson had carried California by over 3.000 plurality, theRepubllcans asked for a recount. This Is in pro gress this week. The result or the first day was to find that in the re count President Wilson made various rains all over the state. Minnesota has not finished counting yet on ac count of a number of voters outside the state who mailed their ballots. President Wilson has been consistent lr raining and Monday night's total showed Hughes only 233 votes in the lead. Each succeeding day's count has cut down the lead of Hughes and If he gets the vote of this state t will be by a small margin, witn chance that It yet may swing to W1I son.' Republicans had hoped for split of California's vote but there seems to be no chance of this. New Hampshire upon an official recount rave its electoral votes to President Wilson. The completed' counts both New Mexico and North Dakota gave those states Into the JVllsou col nmn. It Is thought by some that Mi Hurties will concede his defeat the morning after President Wilson's In auguration. .- Two Popular Lexington Couples Wed Bride of One and Groom of - Other Sister and Brother.
