Hayc at Delaware, O. 1852 Married Lucy Ware Webb. 1861 Major in Ohio Volunteers. 1884 Brigadier General. 1865-67 Member of Congress. 1867-71 Governor of Ohio. 1876 June 15, nominated for President by Republican National Convention at Cincinnati. 1877 Jan. 90, electoral commis sion appointed March 2, Hayes declared elected. March 5, inaugurated 19th President, aged 54. THE tidal wave which swept down the Republicans in the congres sional elections of 1874 still was run ning so strongly in the campaign of 1876 that Rutherford B. Hayes himself never was confident of his success. Nor was the country surprised to read in the headlines the morning after elec tion that Tllden, the Democratic candi date, had won the race. The Republican national headquar ters in New York city shut up shop early election night, and the Repub lican campaign managers went to bed resigned to defeat Tllden was elected on the face of the returns, with 203 electoral votes to 106 for Hayes, and had also a plurality, of 260,000 in the popular vote. His election Indeed rested on the same basis as Cleveland's In 1884 and Wil son's in 1916. Bat In 1876 the Repub licans had not yet acquiesced In the suppression of the negro vote in the South. And If the negroes had-, not been "persuaded" by various means from going to the polls, Tilden could not have been elected. Both the Republicans and the Dem ocrats claimed to have carried Louisi- Born, to Mr. and Mrs. H. C. Clay, at Great Falls, Monday, a daughter. Born, Aug. 18th to Mr. and Mrs. A. W.

South Carolina and Florida, and from thoe states two sets of returns were sent to Washington. Who should decide between them? The Constitu tion provides merely that the president of the senate shall, in the presence of the senate and house, open the ' certi ficates, "and the votes shall then be counted." But when there are two sets of votes, who shall say which shall be counted? "The president of the sen ate," answered tiie Republicans be cause the president of the senate was a Republican. "The two houses," said the Democrats, because orie of the ' housae was Democratic. Compromise was necessary to save the government from cIieos and the country from another Civil war. The bitter dispute was left to 15 men, one third of whom were senators and an other third were representatives, equally divided between, the parties. To guarantee a calm, judicial decision Uie remaining third were justices of the Supreme court Nevertheless, the commission pro ceeded to decide every essential ques tion in favor of Hayes by a strict party vote of 8 to 7. Alas, the partisan seal of that feverish hour burned just as fiercely beneath the gowns of the justices as under the frock coats of the legislators. The judgment of the commission was without force In law until adopted by the two opposing houses, and some disappointed Democrats in the house balked at ratifying the decision against Tllden. But representatives of Hayes whispered to certain southern Demo 1?rats LTT secret conference at Worni fey's hotel that if they would let the Republicans have the presidency, the Republican president would let them have their own state governments. The bargain having been struck, it was kept After a turbulent night session tot the house the result of th election was declared at four o'clock in the morning of Marcto2, 1877, just 56 hours before the Inauguration. For three months Hayes himself had been alternating from day to day be tween expectation of success and de ifeat Even when he started for Wash tlngton on March 1 he wa still so un certain that he frankly told the peo iple of Columbus In his parting speech that be might be back with them and In the governor s caair again m Phone 182 your items.

Two of the four churches on the Piedmont Circuit are undergoing a great many repairs and improvements. At the Pee Dee Methodist Church eight Sunday School rooms are being added to take care of the ever grow-, lng Sunday School. The auditorium is going to be changed and reworked while the outside of the church is to have a fresh coat of paint. A hot air furnace will probably be installed so that this winter there will be no cause of any drop in attendance because of cold weather. ' The Pee Dee Church will, in the estimation of many who are familiar with the planr. be one ui iuw uiuhi moo rn cnurcnes wnea completed In equipment as well as looks inside and out in (be county. The Midway Methodist Church is adding an annex to the main audi torium with eight Sunday School rooms. Four of these rooms will be so constructed as to be thrown in one large social room. One of the rooms will be used as a library and be open during the week. The Sunday School last week gave an order for a large supply of books to go in this library. The old building is to undergo a gre?t deal of improvement. The people at Midway are convinced that they are entitled to the very best house In the community for their church. B. Y, P. U. B. Y. P.
