LATE.
rj
The Gleaner is two days late this
week, waiting for the complete a
election returns from the county. j|
The tabulated vote i* published In n
this issue as taken from the returns
a
made by the Board of County Can- t
vassers.
THE COUNTY. d
n
Alamance is Democratic 'by an ''
average majority of about 400, and
this against the dirtiest campaign
w-aged by the opposition leaders
in a generation.
COUNTY ELECTION. • v
■B
e
The election passed off quietly v
Tuesday. It was a fine day, but c
the vote was not full. However, "
Democracy was again triumphant j,
in Alamance; b
In the tabulated 'Vote (in this t
issue) only the Judge of this Dis
trict is put down, aa there was only c
Jilight variation in the vote. a
The vote on the Constitutional v
Amendments was light—not over ®
half voting on them. 2
The Progressive candidate for p
Congress, Mr. Douglas, received on- '
ly 3ti votes in the county. There ? (
were a few other scattering votes, g
but not enough to affect any can

ABOUT THE ELECTION/
' J
In the State the Democratic ma
' Jority i« estimated at 30,000, and *
of course all the candidates on
the State ticket are elected by u
about the majority above mention- t
rd. c
The fate of the constitutional j
amendments is still in doubt—it is (J
believed by some they are defeated v
Viut Mr. J. W. Bailey still claims they "
Mr. J. W. Bailey still claims thay J
have carried. It seems however, ft
that the official count will be nec
essary to determine how the mat- '
ter stands. j
North Carolina returns a solid (
delegation to the 64th Congress, r
except in the Buncombe district,
where Brltt seems to have defeat- L
ed Oudger, the Democratic Con- ,)
gressman. r
r
«
Of course the Kepublicans are
taking great heart from the result
Tuesday's elections and are looking •
forward to capturing the nation in
1016. Strangely enough, though
true, the Democratic party has had
to bear the brunt of the European '
war, on account of the business de- j
prt ssion due thereto. t
New York has gone overwhelm- 1
ingly Republican—no doubt brought t
about in a measure by the fact
that the Democratic Governor )
elected two years ago had to be l
impeached. •
v. The Progressive party seems to
have about been wiped off the '
boards. It looks that Roosevelt is (
going to be lonesome, but he will
maktv so much "big noise" that
there is little prospect of losing
him.
m j
Late returns indlcste that the 1
next Congress will have 24 Demo- '
cratlc majority in the House and 14 !
in the Senste. This is s greatly
reduced majority for the House, I
but Increased for the Senste. 1

representatives tr m Russia, Great
Uritain, France and Servia. She re

Washington, D. C.., Nov. 2.
INAUGURATION OF THE NEW
CURRENCY SYSTEM.
On November 16th the new cur- .
rency system will be put into ef-'
feet all over the country. The 12
regional Government controlled'
banks will begin business as banks
for bankers. Thia system contains
beat and most valuaole features to i
be found in the banking systems of |
the entire world, and it will be the
beginning' of the greatest era of'
prosperity ever known, and it will
be an era that no pafric will bte a'ole
puncture. The'great benefit to be
derived from these banks is easily
explained. For instance, suppose a
bank loans #IOO,QOO to the business
men of its community, and more
business men wanted another S7S,-
000 which the bank could not spare.
Under the old or present system
the last set of men would go with
out the loan, and so business and
industry would suffer accordingly,
in the town or county. Under the
new system the local bank would
deposit the securities it received
as collateral for the first loan, with
the Government Regional Bank
and borrow the $75,000 therefrom
at about four percent and lend ft
out at about five percent. So
under this system no legitimate in
dustry can ever suffer for want of
money, and financial panics will be
impossible.
HELP FOR THE £OTTON
GROWERS.
It was previously decided to open
the new banks on Nov. 30, but ow
ing to urgent necessity (which the
whole country recognizes) of help
ing the cotton planters the banks
will open November 16, and about
$50,000,000 will be immediately loan
ed to the cotton growers, which
will at once relieve this distressing
condition. Last week arrange
ments were made for shipping cot
ton to Germany and Austria which
hav erecelved none since the war
began, and these two countries will
take 75,000 bales every two months,
and in view of the fact that no
planter is to put in but half a
crop next year, cotton will soon be
at a normal price again.Corn
will pay Just as well as high pric
ed cotton if it is fed to hogs and
made into good hams and bacon at
20 and 25 cents a pound. Nothing
pays better. Soutlnran-raise
five times as much pork and beef
as It is doing, and it should turn
its attention to this matter with
greater earnestness.
Mississippi Judges Wore Overalls on
the Bench.
Jackson, Miss., Dispatch.
The three Justices of the Missis
sippi Supreme Court _«at on the
bench Tuesday clad in overalls,
hickory shirts and JuMperf, and
with cotton handkerchiefs around
their necks, and thus attired hand
ed down decisions.
The judges wished to show thlt
they were imbued with the spirit
of ''Cotton Day", and felt th'tt by
wearing overalls and jumpers made
of cotton they would assist in em
phasizing the importance 0/ the
great "wear cotton clothes," move
in the South.
Assistant Attorney General- Oeo.
Hetridge, also appeared In overalls
and made oral arguments belore
the Justices. When Justice Smith,
Cook and Reed entered the court
room attired in their overalls and
lumpers a stnile went the rounds.
Many attorneys in the department,
however, at once realized why the
Justices had donned the unusual
raiment, and some left the court
room for departemnt stores to buy
suits of the same kind.
Income Tax Returns Short- Many
Dodgers.
t'nlcss the experts who aider!
Congress in framing up the income
tax law were greatly in error 140,-
persons with taxable incomes have
evaded the internal revenue cof
lector. Figures made public at the
Treasury Department show 257,55t8
returns," while Congress designed
the law on estimates that there
were 425,000 taxable incomes. These
estimates did not include incomes
between *3,000 and $4,000, on which
70,4i6 returns actually were made,
so that the total discrepancy is
146,828.
The internal revenue bureau's
campaign to detect dodgers has
been carried on vigorously and it Is
understoon that results soon wil be
forthcomings
As a revenue producer the law
has fallen considerably below ex
pectations, turning In about |28,-
000,000 for the payable 10 months
of last year instead of tbe $4A,000,-
000 expected. Not a single class of
Incomes lived up to expectations.
In the $5,000 to SIO,OOO class the
discrepancy was greatest, the esti
mates being 178,000 and the returns
101.718.
Porty-four returns were made on
incomes over $1,000,000, nlnety-or.e
on incomes between $600,400 and
S, 000,000, 229 on incomes between
50,000 and (500,000 and U4l on
Incomes between t*.oo,ooo and $350,-
000.

WG SALES OF FOODSTUFFS.
But Cotton Exports Veil OB" About
aeO.OWO.OOO—Wsr'a Erect on
America a Commerce.
War's continued effect on Ameri
can commerce—a tremednous in
crease in the sale of foodstuffs for
foreign armies apd a marked de
crease in the exportation of cotton,
machinery and materials for the
use in manufacturing—ia shown in
detail by statistics compiled by the
Department of Commerce.
Exports of grain and meats
jumped to unprecedented quanti
ties in September, resulting in a
great improvement over August's
trade, and a substantial export
balance, but the decrease in the
sale abroad of cotton and manu
factures resulted in a loss com
pared with September, 1913, of $61,-
902,668.
The gain for September's exports
over those for the first month of
the war was $45,968,219. Exporta
tions of canned beef jumped from
364,963 pounds in September, 1913,
to 2,885,356 last month. The in
creased trade in fresh meat was
larger. More than 7,037,400 pounds
were shipped abroad last month,
compared with 631,523 in Septem
ber, 1913.
The war growth of grain exports
was as marked.
The decrease in exports of cot
ton during September, as compared
with last year amounted to nearly
$60,000,000.
With the partial restoration of
shipping facilities, a remarkable
improvement in the exports to
tome of the Latin-American coun
tries was shown over the first
month of the war. Trade to Ger
many, Russia and Belgium remain
ed at low ebb, but that to the
United Kingdom was fairly well
maintained.
The United States purchased from
the world last month goods valued
at $140,089,611 compared with im
ports of $171,084,843 in September,
1913. Increase in the imports were
shown from the United Kingdom,
Argentina, Canada, Cuba and Hol
land. The greatest decreases were
siiown in imports from Germany.
France and Belgium.
Wages and Coat of Living —Labor
Conditions in the State.
The wages show some increase
this year over last and that the
cost of living ,at the same time,
shows an advance, is the statement
contained in the chapter on
"Trades Condition" just completed
by Commissioner of Labor and
Printing, M. L. Shlpman, for his
forthcoming annual report. He at
tributes cost of living principally
to increased cost of doing business
and the constantly increasing num
ber of hands through which com
modities must pass between pro
ducer and consumer. Also, he says,
reports indicate that standards of
living are raised among wage
this accounting for the increased
cost ot living.
The Commissioner says the con
dition of the employed has been
very satisfactory the past year, ac
cording th the reports from all sec
tions of the State that his Depart
ment has procured from both em
ploye dana employers. He finds
that lack of opportunity has not
been responsible for any noticea
ble amount of idleneas, with skill
ed labor and farm labor much in
demand. He finda much complaint
[of the scarcity of dependable do
mestic servants.

Grave Fears Arc Felt For Safety O
Chrietiana in Turkey—Maaaaora

The war situation tn Europe haa de'
> veloped a number of new difficulties*
within the past week. Turkey hat
entered Into the great game and madi
her Introduction Into hostilities by
shelling two Russian towns. The bat
tie along the Tser between the allied
armies and the Qermana has sunk Into
a lull due to the fact, that the sol
diers of both opposing armies are ex
haunted after days of constant fight
tog.
Much concern la being felt in this
country oyer the entrance of Turkey
Into the European war. It Is gener
ally believed by the war department
officials of this country that Turkey's
warlike attitude will ultimately, mean
that Greece, Italy and the Balkan
States will be drawn into the conflict
A very grave danger is said to be
facing the Christians in the Ottoman
empire. According to the latest re
ports from Turkey the people are stir
red with a hatred for the Christiana
within their borders and an uprising
and massacre is greatly feared. This
will place the United States In a deli
cate position, for there are thousands
of Americans In Turkey who must b«
rescued.
It Is the unanimous belief of the al
lied powers that Germany was tha
guiding hand In the hostile move made
by Turkey. The leading newspaper*
of London predict that this will mean
the complete overthrow of the Turk
is hemplre and that when the war ia
ended Turkey, as a government, will
be no more. Italy is expected to taka
a prominent part In the subduing of
the Turks, while Gfeece, It Is believed,
will not lose another opportunity to
crush her oldtlme enemy.
In East Prussia and Russian Poland
the Germans are not faring so well In
their campaign against the Russians.
Dispatches from Berlin admit that the
German armies were forced to retire
from before Warsaw. The Russian ad
vices say that the retreat of the Ger
mans Is to the form of a riot and the
Russian arms are inflicting heavy
losses upon the fleeing Germans.

Christian DeWett and General Chris
tian Frederick Beyers, promised for a
time to be more serious than the first,
but that at the present time It had
been greatly subdued. Premier Bo
tha, the British leader to South Af
rica, Issued a proclamation calling
upon the people of the Union to as
sist the government to suppress any
revolt that may arise against the moth
er country.
Failure, for the time #t least, re
sulted to the attempts of the Ger
mans to secure command of the sea
ports along the Cuaat of France. In
the event that the kaiser determined
upon an assault o» England, the pos
sesslon of the staports along the
French coast, together with the com
mand of the Antwerp. Ostend and tha
Belgian coast, would prove lnvalua-
I bla.
The fighting In the region of the sea
ooaat bu bMI the meet MTert sine*
the (tormina Invaded Belgium.
Day after day the Oermani have
hurled great maaaea of troopa against
tha lines of the allied armies but each
time they were ispulad. It Is said
by military experts that the very safe
ty of England upon the abil
ity of the allied armies to hold the
Germans In check and defeat their ef
forts to gain oovmand of the sea
coast.
When the armies of the kaiser push
ed onward towards the coast of Bel
glum and began fighting their way
In the direction of the French coast,
the llnee of the allies were quickly
shifted. The left wing of the allied
armies In Francs wss extended until
it reached to the sea. It was then
that the Britlih fleet played such an
important part in the struggle against
the Germans The Are was so terrif
ic that ths Germans were compelled
to withdraw further inland.

London.—New German attempts to
reach the French channel porta, Nleu
port to Arraa, while resulting In prog
ress at some points, have been gen
erally Ineffective* Near the coast
their advance has beeh checked by
an extension of the flooded area.
Tbe battle raged with.the fury that
martted the opening of the teat phase
of this campaign and even on the
English coast tbe boom of the big na
val guns which are bombarding the
invader's flank could be distinctly
heard.
The Allies have brought up land
and sea forces In an endeavor to
eheek this second effort of the Ger
mans to establish themselves on the
French coast, from which they hop*
to menace England. 0
A Berlin official report said that the
German troope had occupied Ramsca
pelle, on the railway and canal be
tween Nleuport and Dlxmude, but the
French official communication said
they were driven out by a counter at
tack.
On the whole, therefore, M would
appear that the situation on this most
Important battle front remains much
as it was when the Germans, through
exhaustion a few days ago ceased
their heavy artillery fire for rest The
French report tells of various ad
vances and losses, but these usually
so far as distances are concerned, can
be marked In feet or yards, and the
advance made a few days ago by the
British in Belgium of 1,200 yards was
considered remarkable.
Throughout Uie great battle front
there has been a repetition of attacks
and counter attacks at times, a pro
nounced thinning of the lines.
The Germans made a particularly
violent attack east of Solssons on the
Alsne and, according to the German
report, drove tbe French across tbe
river.
Reports that Lille had been reoccu
pled by the French and that Ostend
had been evacuated by the Germans
lacked confirmation and were consid
ered premature.
The East Prussian frontier Is again
the scene of a high battle. The Ger
mans, according to the Russian re
ports were repulsed with - immense
losses.
In Poland the Germans are reported
to be falling back to new positions
near their own frontier, while in Ga-
Mcia the fighting continues without
material change.
The situation created by Turkey's
attacks on Russian towns in the
Crimea, and upon Russian ships In
the Black Sea should soon be cleared
up, as Great Britain and Russia have
presented a demand to the Sublime
Porte for an explanation- of the inci
dents, the dismissal of the German
officers and men from Turkish war
ships, and the dismantling of the
Goeben and tbe Breslau, the former
German cruisers.
Turkey's reply may be delayed, aa
It was announced that telegraphic
communication with Turkey was in
terrupted. It is not yet clear what
damage the Turkish fleet has done,
although the reports from different
sources say four Russian torpedo
boats, a mine layer, a ootller and a
coast guard ship were destroyed.
One of Great Britain's difficulties
will be the protection of the oil fields
which she recently acquired In Persia.
Indian troope can be brought up for
this purpose.
There is much speculation as to
what action the Balkan States and
Italy will take In view of Turkey's en
trance Into the straggle, but as yet
there has been no definite statement
on this subject

France have placed their Interests in
