In the three districts reclaimed the fifth, eighth and tenth there was a veritable Democratic tidal wave. The tenth, considered a Republican stronghold, gave the greatest Democratic majority it has ever given a congressional candidate, and the eignth, with a Republi can majority two years ago of over 1,300, swung into the Dem ocratic column with a majority around 900. Later returns in crease Major Stedman's majority in the fifths The victory was complete and Republican pre dictions and hopes of gains were shattered. It seems that State Chairman Eller's claim of 50, 000 majority in the State will be borne out by the official count. In the first, second, third, fourth, sixth, seventh and ninth districts, in which there was no really serious opposition to the Democratic candidates, the ma jorities are larger than at first recorded. In tne sixth district the Republicans put out a strong er canuioate man tneir man two years ago and thought that that ocraticcranks;prior to the election !ur. nt'e" ,Mm kvpIv to gain 9 or 10 Senators, the Leg islatures of several States being Maryland.

Returns indicate that the Dem ocrats have elected 22T members of the next House of Representa tives, while the Republicans have elected lr3. and one Social ist member was elected from Milwaukee Victor L. Berger. The apparent Democratic major ity is 63. The election of Champ Clark, of Missouri, as Speaker is con fidently expected. Nearly all the Republican Congressmen elected from Wisconsin, Minnesota, Mich- isran. Iowa. Kansas. Nebraska, the Dakotas. Washington. Ore gon and California are Insur gents and Cannon would have baen defeated for Speaker even if the Republicans had held the House. The most remarkable overturn ! recorded was m West v irginia, which nas been overwhelmingly Republican for 10 years but which elected 4 Democratic Con gressman. Only one lone Re- C7 ago, ana republican estimates at first placed his majority as less than 4,000, claiming that the Democratic majority had been redsrced by Mr. Meares nearly one half; but the official returns tell another story. Two years ago Col. Slocomb carried Bruns wick county by a majority of 166 out of a total of 1,426 votes cast, while tnis year Brunswick gave.Godwin a majority of 431. The total vote two years ago in the district w a s Godwin, 12,542; Slocomb, 6,385. The vote this year by counties was as follows: Godwin Meares Maj Brunswick .

A deputy sheriff who was in town Friday got on the outside of enough tea to put him to sleep when he was waiting for the evening train at the station and was taken to the calaboose and locked up. As soon as Sheriff McNeill found out about it he had his unlucky deputy released and is of the opinion that he should not have been locked up. At The Opera House.

Mrs. Graham McKinnon, who had been under treatment at the Highsmith hospital in Fayetteville for some time, was taken home by Mr. McKinnon Thursday. It is thought that her condition is very much improved and that she will not have to re turn to the hospital, as she has had to do several times during the past two months. Mr. and Mrs. James D.

McPhaul would erect a cottage on the corner of Pine and Twelvth streets, but he has changed his mind and will erect a nice two-story building. It will be occupied by Mr. James Kerr, pharmacist in the Pope drug store, and his mother, who now lives at Kerr, Samoson county. Work has been started on the building and it is expected that it will be completed by January. In Wednesday's Robesonian it was stated that 3 fruit and oyster supper would be held at Oak Dale school house, near Marietta, last Friday night. This was mistake. This fruit and oyster supper will be held Friday night of this week, the 18th. The public is cordially in vited and the proceeds will be used for furr'b;g ke cchool room. Prof. F. L.
