Nov.S. Returns show that Senator Furnifold M. Simmons has been renominated in today's Senatorial Primary to succeed himself by a majority over the combined vote of both of his opponents, Gover nor W. W. Kitchin and Chief Justice Walter Clark of 25,000 votes. That is the estimate at Simmnos hcard quartero. The,' News and Observer from returns received by it up to eleven o'clock calculates Simmons' majority at 20,000. ; The primary was full of surprises to the Simmons forces., fn the districts supposed to lean deciddely to Kitchin, the Senator developed great strength. Notably was this true ' in the Piedmont cection Guilford county wherelhe Governor claimed a majority of one thousand gave him a majority of only 42. Other counties in the Fifth district disappointed the expecta tions of the Governor's friends. Senator Simmons early in-the night claimed the nomination by a majority of 25,000 and the returns' as they poured in showed that he was about right in his. calculations. The first bulletin received in New Bern before" twelve o'clock in the day showed the drift of things and was an accurate indication of what was hapen ing all over the State. It was sent by a staff correspondent from Gbldsboro and read: . -"Of 629 votes In Goldsboro, Fre mont and Mount Olive Simmons gets 481. Simmons gets 90 out of 92 at La Grange." : . ' Other bulletins received during the day only went to confirm the impres sion already formed here that Sim mons would win in a walk. Later in the day Mr. Thomas D. Warren received a telegram which stated that the Senator was leading in every part of the State and that in some sections there was a landslide for him. Mr. E. B. Hackburn at 9 o'clock received the following telegram from Mr. J. E. Latham at Greensboro.: "Kitchin claimed Guilford by 1,000 majority. He received 42. I think the Piedmont section has done herself proud. Extend congratulations to the Seantor for myself and his other friends here.", w . --:,,':.'. .' :.-t .

Intcrestin -the Senatorial primary so-coinpletely over shadowed every other feature of the political contest in the State that re turns as to the State ticket have excited very little interest, every one knowing that Locke Craig and the entire Dem ocratic ticket would be elected by an overwhelming majority as they were. Interest Very Great. .

FOUR YEARS BLIND, NOW SHOCKED AT STLYES Mrs. Liggett, Sight Restored, Says Women Are Making Frights Themselves. Columbus, Nov. 5. "I had no idea of the changes taking place in women's tyles," said Mrs. W. K. Liggett, who has just recovered her sight after four years of total blindness, due to cata racts, of ehich she has been cured by an operation. "I had no idea what frights women were making of them sleves, though my - club friends had given me the best word description they could of the changing styles of gowns'. You know the lines of gowns have vast ly changed in the past four years. I was shocked the first time I saw a lady fashionably attired after I recovered my sight, and, in fact, I have not yet be come used to the change. "Such fashions! I never thought wom en-could dress themselves to look so ridiculous." Mrs. Liggett before her affliction was a leading club woman and a prominent figure in society.. All through her years of blindness her club and society friends have sought to give her all the enjoy ment the world gives through the other senses. "The automobile was yet something of a novelty when I lost my sight," Mrs. Liggett said, "and the machine as we have it now is vastly different from the vehicle they were using in 1908, And then the number of them one sees on the streets nowl ' "Another thing" I am Impressed with is the style of architecture, which seems changed. In everything there has been improvement, it seems to me,' except women's dress. I cannot get used to that.' The scantiness of the dresses is almost shocking." GREAT MURDER MYSTERY A yoyng Spaniard was murdered and found dead upon the moor., Sherlock Holmes,' the greatest detective char acter ever created in fiction, was assigi ed to the case". Needless to say he solved the mystery in his usual masterly fashion. The name of the story is "The. Singular Experience , of Mr. Scott Ecclcs."

McL SIMMONS APPRECIATION - November 6, 1912. F. M. SIMMONS. 5 Late Returns in the Senatorial Primary Show Estimates Were Very Accurate. EXACT MAJORITY WAS 24,094 Buncombe the Banner Simmons County Giving Him a Ma Jorlty qJ 1600. Raleigh, Nov. 6. Fairly complete returns on the Senatorial primary in which the Democrats expressed their choice as between Senator Simmons, Governor Kitchin and Chief Justice Walter Clark, serve to show that Sena tor Simmons was right Tuesday night when he claimed the nomination by a majority of 25,000. The exact figures when finally computed will show that to have been an exceedingly accurate estimate in view of the fact that the returns at that time were necessarily incomplete. ' With a large proportion of the precincts heard from at this hour this majority is 24,094. Since early yesterday afternoon when the returns indicated clearly that things i were coming his way; telegrams of con Emulation have been pouring in on htm. His friends are jubilant over his splendid victory and insist that it is a remarkable testimonial to the con fidence which the electorate of the State rcpQses in him. ' Mrs. Simmons was in Raleigh with him and joined with him in receiving many of the felicitations with which he has been overwhelmed. Craig's estimated majority in the State over the combined vote of Iredell Meares and Thomas Settle, the Pro gressive and Republican candidates, is from fifty to kixty thousand. Mearci leads Settle substantially. 1 Ashevillc, No- 6. Elated over the success in the election yesterday of Hon. Locke Craig, Democratic candi date for Governor, and Senator F. M. Simmons, candidate for re-election to the United States Senate, the Demo cratic voters of this city are planning for a big demonstration on, next Tues day night. There will be a torch light parade followed by addresses by pro minent men and a reception at one of the local clubs. Buncombe county gave Senator Sim mons the largest majority he received anywhere in the State, the vote for him being 1,600 largerfthan the com bined vote of Clark and Kitchin. The standing army at Armageddon bat been disbanded. SIMMON LEAD REMAINS 510 LEAVES LITTLE . FOR OPPONENTS In the City Kitchin and Clark Hardly Black Board In Senatorial. Fight. ALL WAS ONE WAY IN NEW BERN Taft and Roosevelt and Settle and Meares Make Poor Showing. In the city of New Bern yesterday Kitchin and Clark hardly blacked the board. N ine hundred and thirty-seven votes were cast and out of these Sum mons received 892, Kitchin 31 and Clark 14. The First Ward gave Simmons 138, Kitchin 10 and Clark 4. .In the" tiecond . ward th vote for Simmons was 370 Kitchin 10 and Clark 6. Third ward Simmons 203 Clark 1 Kitchin 7. Fourth ward Simmons 150, Kitchin 4, Clark 3. Bern precinct, Simmons 31, Clark 0, Kitchin 0. The city's vote in the gubernatorial contest was Craig 898, Settle 27, Meares 12. Nationally the city voted Wilson 897, Taft 24, Roosevelt 20. HOW THE VOTING Senator Simmons Gets an Over whelming Majority In His Home County. VOTE FOR OPPONENTS LIGHT Fourteen of the Twenty Precincts in the County Give Craig Majority of 1410. Craven county gave Simmons a majority over both of his competitors of 1,344 voles. The vote from nine teen of the twenty precincts was Sim mons 1622, Kitchin 313, Clark 66. Only fourteen of the twenty pre cincts were heard from in the vote on the governor. In these twelve Craig received 1410 votes, Meares 52 and Settle 71, giving Craig a majority in these of 1287. Six more precincts are yet to be heard from and there is little doubt but that Craig wilt receive a majority of 1800. Fourteen precincts out of the twenty in the county were heard on the presi dential vote. These gave Wilson 1358, Taft 79 and Roosevelt 40. This gives Wilson a majority of 1239 anad it is te lieved that he will receive a majority of 1800 when the returns are all in. Senator Simmons friends had ex pected him to poll a large vote in this county but they were agreeably sur prised when it was seen how far ahead of his opponents he really was. It was the same. way with the governor's vote and also the presidential vote. There was no doubt but that Craig and Wil son would have a large majority but the returns were beyond all expecta tions. TITANIC'S BANDMEN HONORED, New York Musicians Unveil Tablet To Heroes' Memory. New York, Nov. 4. The heroic mu sicians who played "Nearer ,My God, to Thee" as the Titanic sank in the North Atlantic last April were honored Sunday in memory by musicians here. A bronze tablet to the seven bandsmen prepared by members of the Musicians' Mutual Protective Union was unveiled at the clubhouse of the organization. The exercises were simple. There was a brief address and then a band identical in make up with that which played on the Titanic in her ocean grave gave out the solemn strains of the hymn which was the ship s requiem, The tablet, 30 by 24 inches, bears a feminine figure, symbolic of music, placing a wreath od oak leaves on an expanse of placid water, broken by an iceberg. Beneath is the inscription: "A tribute to the bandsmen of the Titanic. When the order was 'each man for himself," these heroes remained on board and played until the last." Then follow the first two bars of music of "Nearer,. My God, to Thee," and the names Wallace Hartely, band master; George Krans, Boger Bricoux, W. T. Brailcy, J. Wesley Woodward, P. C. Taylor, J. F.
