Raleigh, Nov. 8. Here at the
State capital the election returns
have stirred the highest degree
of enthusiasm for Democracy .the

letin board here Mr. Kiler gave
this: "Ten Democratic Congress-
t I
men and 50,000 Democratic m ijor
ity for North Carolina look good
to me. How do they look to
you?"
While the returns here are still
indefinite in many respects it
seems certain that the State ma
jority will be around 50,000 any
way, and there seems to be little
or no question about the election
of Doughten in the eighth and
Gudger in the tenth. Along with
those results of the election tbere
are also evidence of gains of pro
hfJdA ten. Reprefentativrfa frvtbe
already overwhelming Democrat!
majority in the lower house of
the General Assembly and pos
sibly four Senators.
At midnight Chairman Eller
gave out this statement:
The reports at this hour indi
cate election of all ten Congress
men of the D emocratic party.
Also an increase of about ten
Democratic members of the IIous
and four or five in the Senate.
Large gains have been made for
the State ticket almost every
where, the exceptions being a
few counties, where there is pra
ctically no Republican party and
hence a light vote. The majority
ought to be annul 50,000. This
certainly is sufficient to put an
end for all time to Hutler's des
cent, upon this State and More
head's pretentions to give us a
"respectable progressive Repub
lican party" in North Carolina.
North Carolina may now be
put down as a safely Democratic
state true to the ideals of Dem
ocracy as endorsed by patriotic
Southern men.
Eesulti in Eighth and Tenth
Surprise! Sanguine.
Exceeding the expectations of
the most Banguine it is practic
ally certain that North Carolina
three Republican districts and
that the 01 North State will be
represented in Congress by a sol
id Democratic delegation for the
first time in many years.
It was a foregone conclusion
that Major Stedman would carry
the fifth, nominally Democratic,
which went astray two years ago
and sent John M. Morehead to
Congress, but the genuine sur
prises came in the eighth and
tenth, always the battlegrounds,
in the former the Democrats bad
a big majority to overcome, but
they worked hard and in the pas
week the outlook has been very
encouragcing. In the tenth the
majority is always small cither
way and neither candidate was a
safe bet.
In the eighth the Democrats
bad a majority of 1,375 votes to
overcome, and if tonights rejMrts
litre correct the district lias done
noble work.
The tenth district victory, if
the news in hand does not err, is
the most surprising, and there
fore the most gratifying. All
reports to election day pointed
to the return of Congressman
(Jrant, and if the Democrats have
re
laimcd this district, the
tory in the state has been more
notable.
There is no doubt about the
fifth; eigth district figures are
not complete, but those in hand
and the estimates bear out the
Democratic, claims
Kverv eoun-
ty in the tenth shows a Dcmoeru-(
tie gain ami with only a major
itv of Mil to overcome, the claim
or Mr. tiudger s managers seems
well established.

Solicitor S. Porter Graves was

than GOO, but more probably
ranging close to 800 which means

also to Mr B. 3 W"rrh!p. of tbU

and well for Mr. Graves.
Graves carried Rockingham by

Fifty Eight Names Added to Carnegie
Hero List.
Pittsburg, Nov. 1. Fifty eight
names were added to the Carne
gie hero list in the United States
by the Carnegie Hero Fund Com
mission at its meeting. For acts
of heroism 20 silver and 28 bronze
medals were awarded the life
savers or their families in cases
where death resulted. In addi
tion cash awards, aggregating
$40,250 were made in 33 of the
cases, the cash to be used for
educational or other worthy pur
poses at the discretion of the ex
ecutive committee, while in 23
other cases of rescue or attempt
ed rescue, where the heroes died
as a result, pensions ranging
from $20 to $70 a month were
made to the dependents with $5
a month additional for each child
left.
Of the rescues from death er
the attempts, 7 were from rail
road trains or street cars, 19
from drowning, one from a run
away horse, 8 from suffocation
in gas producers, or wells, 20
from death in mine disasters, 2
from fire and one from shooting.
The mine disaster at Cherry
111., November, 1909, figured
prominently in the hero Hit with
the recognition of the heroism of
13 miners. Eleven of these died
from injuries in rescuing an un
known number of miners, and,
besides a silver medal, the month
ly Btipends were made to the
families in these cases. Two
that survived were awarded the
silver medal and $1,000 cash.

Monroe Knquirer.
A poor, unfortunate girl, about
17 years old, was at the depot
here yesterday morning with a
little dead baby to which she had
given birth a short tini" before,
in her arms. She had wandered
from another town to Monroe in
vie-(order to get away from those she
knew, to get among strangers, in
order to hide her shame. She
had given birth to the child at a
cheap boarding bouse some dis
tance from the depot and had
walked with her dead child in
her nrms a distance of nearly
half a mile in order to take the
j train. She is a good looking
I girl. Hers is not a bad face. She

Obliging Young Woman Makes an
Embarrasatna Mistake.
Jermyn (Texas) Enterprise.
A funny thing happened to a
young lady who was attending
her church a few Sundays ago.
Sitting directly before her was a
tall, well-dressed stranger with
a piece of raveling hanging down
his back, over his collar.
Being a young lady of accom
modating turn, one of those warm
hearted, good girls; who grow to
be motherly ladies, a friend to
everybody, she thought how glad
she would be if some kind heart
ed girl would do as much for her
father if he 6hould come to
church with a raveling hanging
down his back. Besides, the
thing worried her because of the
un couth appearance presented.
So, as the congregation arose for
prayer, she concluded to- pull it
off.
Carefully raising her hand, she
gave it a little twitch, but there
was more of the thread appear
ing. Setting her teeth, she gave
another pull, and about a yard
more hung down his back. Tht
was getting embarrassing, but
with a resolve to do or die she
gave another yank, and discover
ed that she was unraveling his
underwear. Chloroform would
not have alleviated her suffering,
nor a pint of powder have hidden
her blushes, when the gentleman!
turned to see what was tickling
his back.

General Election Returns.
Elections held throughout the
country Tuesday resulted in a
political convulsion of far-reaching
extent similar at many points
to the famous tidal wave of 1883
and apparently more widespread
in its effects.
The indications toward mid
night were that the national
IIouso of Representatives has
been carried by the Democrats,
reversing the present Republican
majority of 43.
The United States Senate will
probably have a reduced Repub
lican majority as a result of the
legislative elections held in many
states.
In New York State John A.
Dix, Democratic candidate for
Governor, is elected over Henry
L. Stimson, Republican, by a
plurality of about 55,000, revers

70,000 in 1908 for Governor Hu
ghes. In New Jersey Woodrow Wilson,

nor is elected over Vivian M.
Lewis, Republican, by about 15,

EMOCRATIC VICTORY
Democrats Will Have Complete Control of (lie
Next House of Representatives
Such a wave of Democracy as I
has not been seen in this country
since 1892 swept the United
States Tuesday, voicing the in
dignation of a great people over
the iniquitous tariff bill and gen
eral maladministration inflicted
upon this country by the Repub
licans, and as a result New York
New Jersey, Massachusetts,
Connecticut, Indiana and prob
ably Ohio, West Virginia and Ne
braskaconsidered as rock-ribbed
Republican states gave
Democratic majorities.
jIt was the most magnificent
victory of a generation, and Dem
ocrats the country over are jub
liant The rebuke to Roosevelt
activity, Cannonism, Aldrichism
and their attendant ills is com
plete and far-reaching.
The next congress will be Dem
ocratic, though it is impossible
to tell at this time the majority,
and the Senate will be controlled
by the Democrats and the Insur
gent Republicans. ;
Dix is elected governor of New
York by over 100,000; Dr. Wood-row-Wttsoh'

of New Jersey by 20,000; Judge
Simeon E. Baldwin is governor
of Connecticut by a small rrajor

the victory in this last state that
early in the night the defeated
Republican wired his congratula
tions to Foss.
Har.non is probably elected
governor of Ohio, while the indi
cations are that West Virginia
and Nebraska are in the Demo
cratic column.
In practically every state of
the union there were big Demo
cratic gains.
Chicago, 111., Nov. 8. That
the next House of Representa
tives will be controlled by the
Democrats was indicated by the
returns received up to 11 o'clock
tonight The Democrats gained
from the Republicans seats in
Congress in eight states. In
New York seven Republican
seats were won by the Demo
crats. In Maryland, Massachu
setts and North Carolina each
the Republicans lost two seats.
Losses were definitely known
e
to nave oeen sustained also in ,
Illinois, Kentucky, Missouri, ;
Ohio and Pennsylvania.
The known Democratic gain up
to 11 o'clock was 19 seats, offset
by the Republican gains from the
Democrats, one each in New
York and Pennsylvania.
Reports received from other
states indicated the Democrats
would hive ample margin to as
sure then the 22 seats, necessary
to givj them control of the
House, two Democratic gains
previously having been reported
in Maine.
In Oklahoma returns indicated
j that the Democrats probably
gained two seats due apparently

At Democratic headquarters in

In West Virginia reports stated
the Democrats had gained in
three congressional districts.
Missouri returns showed one

Democratic gains, while in Iowa
and Illinois the returns indicated
that the Democratic gains would
total six seats.
In North Carolina returns in

Body Preserved In Water 19 Year.
An Unusuel Case.
Jennings, R. F. D. No. 2. Oct.
23. Lindsev Jarvis, a well
known and substantial citizen of
Wilkes county, died at his home
near Lovelace postoffice October
23. 1910. His wife, Sarah Brown
Jarvis. died February 16 1891
and was buried on a knoll over
hooking the presen residence of
Jarvis. Their son, Mr. D. Clin
ton Jarvis, wishing to have his
father's remains interred at a
church burying ground, decided
to remove the remains of I'm
mother. Upon digging into the
grave of his mother, they found
the coffin floating on water in the
box. Bystanders recalled that
in February, 1891, they were
compelled to bury the body in
water in the box to a depth or
nearly the half of the box. They
of course were anxious to open
the coffin, as it seemed to con
tain some weight. After having
borded into the coffin and let all
the water out, to the astonish
ment of those present they found
the body in perfect shape, cloth
ing intact, hands folded across
the breast, and her teeth as
white as when buried, until the
air had time to affect the body,
which then began to decay.
Mr. D. C Jarvij tella the wri
ter that the body was in such
shape that he could have recog
nized it after it was buried 19
years.
The two bodies were buried
aide by side in the same grave at
Shady Grove church October 25.
Revi. ;W; A. Myers and R. N.
Garner conducted the funeral
services. A large crowd attend

"We were both in love with
