He Has Beaten Prof. Britt By An Increased Majority Over The Vote of Two Years Ago. Asheville, Nov. 9 The official an semi-official returns from the tenth congressional district are' coming in slowly bat it is now evideot that Mr. Crawford's majority, will be between 900 and 1.000. The official and semi official returns from every county now being heard . from increases Mr. Craw ford's majority and it is practically con ceded that He has carried the district by a greater majority than Mr. Gudger did two years ago. The republicans on election night realized hat they were beat and that Mr. Britt had been de feated. Thev claimed, however, that. Mr. Britt had made a better race than Judge Ewart did two years ago and this seemed to give some encouragement. Now it appears that Mr. Britt suffered a worse defeat at the hands of Mr. Craw ford than Judge Ewart did at the hands of Mr. Gudsrer. To-dav the indications are that Mr. Crawford has a major- It nf between 930 and 1.000. No one seems to have heard officially from Macon. Both the Republicans and Democrats claim to have carried this county. The majority in Macon, will however, be small either way. With Macon left, Crawford has an apparent majority of 965. Following is the official and semi-official yote which is regard ed as conservative and correct: Craw- Britt. ford, Haywood '. ..804 Bunombe 461 Henderson. Polk Cherokee. McDowell Swain.....'. Rutherford.. 510 Transylvania 72 Macon 1 Clay ..' Jackson 51 (Graham.. 10, 416 25 111 45 340 6 Total 1,908 943 Crawford's majority 9G5. M. L Sbipman, wto has been muchly interested in the fight in the tenth dis trict and who has aided Mr. Crawford and Chaiiman Lee in the conduct of the campaign, was here today en route to Raleigh. He said that the figures given above were approximately correct but that any irregularities would only in crease Mr. Crawford's majority. "I be lieve," said he, "that Mr. Crawford's majority will go but a few votes under 1000. The democrats of the district have won a great victory ana you can say iur me that it matters not whom the repub licans nominate 2 years hence.the Tenth .district will give tven a greater demo cratic majority than it did this year. The old Tenth is solidly democratic and she is going tr stay that way." Chair man Lee was also here today from Way- oesville. He is naturally greatly pleas ed at the rebult of Tuesday a election The result, however, was no surprise to Mr. Lee. He had the thing .figured out before the voting commenced and with him it was only a matter ff major .ty. It is pointed out that Mr. Crawford not only defeated Mr. Britt worse than Mr. Gudger defeated Judge Ewart but also that he has probably added another county to the Democratic column. Chairman Lee before leaving for Waynesville this afternoon said that Crawford's majority would be right at .950 and probably 1000. Gazette News. 48.000 Maioriiv. j.j Th Raleigh News ,nd Observer says the Democrats carried the state by 48, 000, coming within 1,200 of the great majority secured by Governor Glenn in ,1904. The returns show a loss to the Republicans of 15,000 votes. Eighty-one counties in' the state were carried by the Democrats and 16 by the Republi cans. In these 16 counties held by the Republicans their majorties have been decreased. Prof. Britt Congratulates. Hon. W. T. Crawford, Waynesville, N. C. Please accept as hearty and sincere congratulations as a vanquished rival can offer, and my wish that you may have a useful and honorable" career in the congress. JAMES J. BRITT. Mr. Crawford upon receiving Mr. Britt's telegram of congratulations last week sent the following acknow ledgement: , ' w ... "jrof. James" j Britt, Ashevhle, N.O. 'Your congratulations received for which you have my thanks. You are to be congratulated by your friends upon the splendid showing made. You nuu. a great victory in iuG metn od of surrender. And you will always tave my best wishes for success, except in politics.' "W. T. CRAWFORD." RADICALS REBUKED. Governor Glenn Delighted with Democratic Victory. Gov. Genn was seen yesterday morning in his office and asked his views in regard to the result of Tuesday's election. He expressed himself in every way pleased, especially iu tne election of Messrs. Hack ett and Crawford inthe Eighth a id Teuth districts, which secures to us solid demo cratic delegation in the next Senate and House of representatives. -Our large vote shows," he said, "the patiiotistn and justice of North Carolinians. Maliciously and falsely the Republican papers and speakers have charged the pres ent administration with reckless extrava gance, if not with misappropriation of public funds, and especially have they as sailed the management of the public schools, but when the facts were published and fully made kuown and it was shown that every cent was properly expended and that the schools were conducted on a higher and better plane, affording longer terms, bet ler school-houses and equipment and more competent teachers, the people resented the falsehoods circulated and at tested their approval by their ratification at the polls." Continuing, the governor said, ''In the future as iu the past the present adminis tration will faithfully and fearlessly guard every interest of the state; will spend no money not needed for public advance' ment and improvement, but will not let the false clamor of republican leaders deter it from carefully protecting and promoting the interests of the schools, and from the proper care of all of the state institutions for the helpless and infhm, as well as for the old Confederate soldier," The governor said that in his opinion a few of the chief reasons for our great vic tory in this, an off year, when people were usually apathetic, were: First. A rebuke to Marion Butler and Daniel Russell for the part they tried to take in the campaign, for the people felt that in the past they had . betrayed the state's interests in attempting to force the fall paymeut ot bonds, that the legislature felt 6hould be compromised on. a true basis, and they showed by their vote that the republican psrty could never hope to increase in the state as long as they al lowed themselves to be led by such men. 8econd. The people were disgusted at the falsehoods and misrepresentations set forth in the speeches of Butler and Adams and circulated in some of the republican papers, especially tie Industrial News and by their vote intended to put the seal of their condemnation ou such unfair and false political methods. Third. That the v-rte showed beyond all question that the people had full con fidence in the democratic party and be lieved that their best interests would be preserved by maintaining its honest ad ministration and not by turning the state over to such spoilsmen as compose the re publican party. The governor concluded by saying that while proud of the victory, it would only incite him and the others associated with him to try still harder to b worthy of the people's confidence and to do everything in their pwer to give the people a safe anu economic, but at the same time, a pr0 gressive and up-to-date administration all the affairs committed to their car of Raleigh News & Obseiver. e.

In lookiug over the files of the subsid ized News it is seen that Butler Spoke in the following counties: Wilson, Pitt, Chatham, Leiroir, Carteret, Barrett, Lin coln aud Vance, winding up his campaign with a great blowout iu Sampsou. The News promised great Republican gain in each of these counties. The election re- turns show that the Democrats made eains in each of them from one to five hundred What a pity it is that Butler did not cauvass the entire slate, it jooks iikp Senator Simmous' prediction, made six weeks ago, that Butler was helping the Democrats, was right.

The decisive result of the election in ISorth Carolina Tuesday should bs a mat ter of satisfaction to every citizen of the State. Without any purpose to be offensive The Observer has often said that the Dem ocratic party alone is able to give good goverment to North Carolina.

That Mr. Justice has the elements of a gentlemen is shown by the . following letter, which Mr. Spainhour has receiv ed from his opponent; Rutherford, N. C. Nov. 8, 1906. Hon. J. F. Spainhour, Morganton, N. O. My Dear Sir As I am informed and believe, I have met the enemy and I'm his. Please accept congratulations, and believe me when' I say this message of greeting is as hearty and generous as could be expected from a vanquished foe. I thank you for the nice courtly man ner with which you treated me during campaign, and the generous, high-toned manner in which you dealt with myafflc. tlons and illness in family when, on ac-. count of which, I could not meet you in joint debate, I wish I could know and believe that some of my "friends" had treated me as well. Hoping you and family are well and happy, I am, Yours truly, GEO, A. JUSTICE.

Smith, Esq., in re ference to the Future of - this City. . W. . A.. Smith, popularly known as "Bill" Smith, altho' suffering from numerous bruises and scratches receiv in a runaway last week, could still talk of his favorite topic, the subject nearest his heart at all times, "the fu ture of Hendersonville." - Yes, sir,' he said. "I mean exactly what I say, and do not believe I am using extreme, language wnen l say that Hendersonville will eventually be the finest resort town on the face of the globe, and all we have to do to make it so Is to be patient, to do what is right, and to work energetically I under stand the engineers have finished their work on the surveys of the proposed lake. The next step will be to find the cost of the proposed dam at Long Bridge". With . this data before us we will then know just where we stand. "There is no place that I know of which will have the advantages pos sessed by this town when the lake is finished. Where else in the world will you find a level plateau of 150 square miles 2250 feet above sea level, with some of the grandest mountains on th American continent towering all around you, and with a magnificent body of water, like the lake will be nestling at the foot of the forest clad old moun tains? The large percent of sunshine we enioy here we have in common with many other parts of the United States, but in many respects .the advantages possessed by this city are absolutely unique and are not enjoyed by tfxe peo ple of towns only 20 miles distant. The freedom from all fogs and dampness is a most important consideration, and as I say, the, natural advantages combined now . with this great lake will make of Hendersonville one of the most if not the most famous resort town in the world. The mere fact of a gigantic body jaf , water,,! surrounded by. moun tains, nnder an ever blue sky, is suffi cient to guarantee that condition." "What do I know about the Appa lachian Interurban Railroad? Well, I know "right smart," but mainly that the promoters of this road are actively at work and the prospects are satis factory. In this connection 1 may say there is a bright outlook for an electric road to Asheville. A Mr. White, of Skyland, has great confidence in the earning ability of such an enterprise and is ready to back his faith with money. Yes, sir I consider the chances of an electric line to Asheville as being much more than a remote possibility, and when it comes it's going to be one more good thing Ifor the town. But possibly what will affect our material interests fully as much as anythingis this new Greenville railroad. You are probably not aware that the company has completed surveys to Zirconia, but such is the fact. And Zirconia is only seven little miles from the city of Hen dersonville: I am not prepared to say anything more on that subject today except that Hendersonville will thrive greatly with two competing railroads, Taking out his pocket knife and ener in Henderson 4- Vote by Precincts 03 - 03 CO Q O M M H I 2 O ffi K g 3 a I S S s ? & 1 g .3 3 f S ; I I i f. . .?
