Here at the State capital the election returns have stirred the highest degree of enthusiasm for Democracy .the declaration being mad b State Chairman Eller as good news p.nud in to him that. North Car ol. 11. t may be pur dow.i as a safe ly T"mi'r;itii vitjitf true to the ., , , II ! ideals of Democracy as cherished: by patriotic men. I Icing asked late in the night to make some ..)..,..-..... f. lw 4'l.lwlwi.l 111 U lllll OKI LI UK J 1 b IU l- luiium vim 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. CraUs Bull Hall By Upwards ol eoo. Winston Journal, 9th. Solicitor S. Porter Graves was re-elected by a majority not less than GOO, but more probably ranging close to 800 which means significantly that the popular and able Mt. Airy man reversed dis- rr?r tvblfli fmrrt var' norn cravp r, ,,. ,. , , - the Republican candidate for! governor a majority of 825 and went for Taft by 1.600. It was a decided tribute to the man, and also to Mr B. 3 W"rrh!p. of tbU city, who as chairman of the exe cutive committee from this judi cial district, worked intelligently and well for Mr. Graves. Graves carried Rockingham by 675, Caswell by 585, and Forsyth by 9 votes. Ashe and Alleghany were not exactly heard from late last night, but their vote was ap proximated. Stokes went for Hall by 550, Surry by 150. 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. "I do not believe there U any ot her medicine so good for 'A hooding couh 88 Chamberlain' Cough Rem edy," write Mrs. Francis Turnin.

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 . tens me siory oi ner nieirauaiv . .I , . i i . II Who is she! Where did she come from Well, youwill have to aik someone else. That girl is suffering agony. Iler life is blighted and she realizes it fully. The scoundrel who caused her downfall is going about the world with head up, plenty of money in his pocket and will pass amon men, and women too, for that matter, as a respectable citizen. Ine girl is out yonder in the . , . . ,, county home, friendless, except for the few strangers who have been kind to her is crying her eyes i out and is heart brofrjnbe-j ic of her sin.' And Ve are no cause going to further humiliate her by writing her name or telling whence she came. At the depot and out at the boarding house the girl found friends in County Phyciciau II. D. Stewart and Chief of Police T. . Laney, who secured conveyance for her to the county home where she is un der the tender care , of Keeper Stewart's wife. WISHED SHE HADN'T. 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.

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 ing the Republican plurality of 70,000 in 1908 for Governor Hu ghes. In New Jersey Woodrow Wilson, Democratic candidate for Gover nor is elected over Vivian M. Lewis, Republican, by about 15, 000 plurality, reversing the pre vious Republican plurality of 8,- 000 for Governor Fort. In Massachusetts Eugene N. Foss. Democratic candidate, has defeated Governor Eben S. Dra per, Republican candidate for re election, by about 30,000 plurality of 8,000 In Conneticut Judge Simeon E.

PARI Y f ET 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' Is -ett'CU'3Toverrnr of New Jersey by 20,000; Judge Simeon E. Baldwin is governor of Connecticut by a small rrajor ity; Foss is governor of Mass chusetts, and a) complete was 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 itoth operation of the grand ! taiher clause, which Debarred "I am pleased to recommend Cham berlain's Cough Remedy as the bout thing 1 know of and safest remedy for coughs, colds and brochlal tro uble," writes Mrs. U B.

IS SHOW ner0 Republicans from voting.1 At Democratic headquarters in New Jersey it was claimed that the state would hold eight seats, making a Democratic gain of five. In West Virginia reports stated the Democrats had gained in three congressional districts. Missouri returns showed one known with three probable Democratic gains, while in Iowa and Illinois the returns indicated that the Democratic gains would total six seats. In North Carolina returns in dicated Democratic gains prob ably would increase to three. A big surprise came from Wis consin, when the Republican committee conceded the election of Victor L. Berger, Social Democrat, to Congress from the Fifth district, which is now held by the Democrats. 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 ed the burial.

"What's the explanation?" queried the party of the other part "We were both in love with the same woman," answered Wedderly as he permitted an open-faced sigh to escape; "and I married her."
