In fact, it al most seemed as though the Re publicans in North Carolina had either quit voting, or seeing the error of their ways had dropped into the Democratic ranks. Even the most enthusiastic Democrat had not predicted such a sweep ing victory. Some idea of it is understood better when i' is realized that such rock-HDucu Republican counties as Catawba, Cabarrus and Caldwell went Democratic , by majorities of from two to five hundred, upsetting Republican majorities of two years ago o upwards of seven hundred. Davidson and Randolph counties even returned to the fold, and elected full Democratic tickets. And so the story goes. County after county rolled up handsome Democratic majorities, despite the rain that fell almost all day. Had the weather been fair there is no predicting how much larger our majority would have been. . Nationally, the Democracy swept New York State and New Jersey and elected Congressmen in many other Republican strong holds. The Democrats came dangerously near to gaining con trol, lacking only a dozen votes and this Is but a harbinger of what will happen two years hence! In the State the Republican representation in the Senate reduced from 12 two years ago to only 4 Senators now; and in the House from 29 two years ago to just 12 now ! The Democratic maionty in the State will be about 80,000, This would seem to indicate that the people approve the State ad ministration headed by Gov, Morrison, together with the road and internal improvement pro gram. The election is now over. The ;pe?pfl have voted their senti ments w&h a vim, and here is Richmond county the huge ma jority of 2296 is proof sufficient tfost there 1$ no hope for a re turn to!.ne Republican days, and clearly indicated that the county is heart and soul Democratic. The Post-Dispatch is proud to hp a coe - in this Democratic wheel, and to have contributed its efforts toward the party's sue- Not Afraid ol Peaches ' - Last summer a number of large peach growers published an adver tisomfiiit lircinu that no more peach orchards be planted.

The nroblem facing t'ic peach grower is not-so much preventing or discouraging others from produc ing peaehespbut by proper organi sation perfecting the SELLING end of the business to a fine point. The peach business is dest.ned to exceed the present acreage -many times over. A special term of Court for trial of criminal cases has been called for Dec. 11th, with Judge McElroy to preside. The docket is very much congested, hence the request of Solicitor Nash that a snecial term be' called. On Mondav. Dec. 4th. a regular term for civil cases will be held, and on Jaa 1st a regular criminal term. This special term on Dec. 11th is expected to greatly re lieve the docket congestion. The following is the jury drawn for the special term to be held Dec. 11th: ,- , Leak Wins Third Place.
