' 50,000 MAJORITY IN NORTH CAROLINA
Martin County Still Holds Her Own!
By a Good Majority
ONLY FIFTEEN COUNTIES VOTE REPUBLICAN |
Indiana Will Send John Kern to the Senate—A Gain
of Seven Senators for the Democrats—Fourteen
Legislators and Four State Senators are
Gained in North Carolina—John M. Small
Receives Good Vote In Every County
in the First District--Kepubli
cans are Down and Out.
The Democrats of North Carolina f
have won the most complete \"c j
tory that has been theirs in mmy >
yeais. The majority si 50 000 ]
exceeded the expectations of the:
most hopeful and a solid diLegation
will go to the next House pf Con
gress. The three Republican dis
tricts have been reclaimed by R. L
Dougbton in the eighth, Chailss M
Stedman in the fifth and faints M
G idger in the tenth. The finht in
thise districts was a hard one but
the victory is complete.
John H. Small in the 6rst dis
trict won over Henry T. King by
7,000. This was a slight loss over
the previous election because of the
failure of many Democrats to go to
tbe polls. t
Increased majorities were the
order of Tuesday and the pre
election claims of the Republican
leaders were set at nought. The
local self government plank faUed
to hold tbe crowd and Butler with
his gang of boodlers was buried
under tbe rtfiu of their own otruc
ture.  With his bonds he has been
consigned to the murky waters of
olivion and the Ship of State is
f moored safely under Democratic
chart.
story of North Carolina is
~ the story of New York* New Jersey,
Massachusetts, Connecticut and
Ohio. John Dix, Democrat, carri
ed New York by over 65,000 ma
jority. Here was waged the v hot
tert fight that tbe State has ever
witnessed. 'Teddy 7Roosevelt led
the fighfffOr his man S.timqoh and
lost out. This is a blow to the
man with the Big Stick and may
mean his political death. Demo
cratic victory there means a redis
ricting of the State and more
Democratic representees.
Massachusetts elected a Demo
cratic governor by over 40,000.
Tbe Democratic gain throughout
THE ENTERPRISE
} the State was 28 per cent. The
j Bay State has not shown much
i faith in the Payne Aldrich Tariff
| schedule.
Ohio, another center of intense
interest, ieelectel Governor Har
mon. The Republicans concen
trated their best efforts toward try
ing t© wrest the State from the
Democrats but lo>t out by a ma
jority of 40.000 In sonic counties
Harmon's pluiality w;s reduced
from that of the previous election
New Jetsey and Connecticut
elected Democratic governors and
made gains in the others officers.
Teniiesse« went Republican on the
governatorial ticket as expected
after tbe fusion between the bolting
Democrats and Republicans. The
Pattesson —Cooper combine render
ed the victory sure for the Republi
cans. The Legislature, however,
will be strongly Democratic. In
diana and Illinois, two pivotal
States, show great Democratic
gains. Summing up, it may be
said that the whole face of creation
fell into the lap of Democracy.

Book Club
(Reported)
It wa« the pleasure of the Book
Club to eujoy the hospitality of
Mrs. A. S. Coffield on Tyesday:
afternoon. Mrs. CofTield is a
charming hostess and has that hap
py faculty possessed by few—en
vied by many—of making even the
stranger feel at home.
After the business session, which
was of shpTt duration, the meeting
was turned over to the hostess.
After an interesting pictorial con
test in which Mesdatnes Martin
and Newell tied for the first prize,
Barnes and Biggs for the booby,
all were invited into the dining
room where not only the "inner
man" was satisfied, but the artistic
eytfjdelighted as well. The color
scheme was pink, and was 1 beauti
fully carried out, in flower, light
and delicacy.
Indeed the club was indebted to
Mrs. Coffield for a most delightful
afternoon and each member felt on
her departure that in sach a home
as this mighj fittingly be placed
the old Welsh door verse:
—' . *
"Hail gueßt! We ask not what
• thoujirt: 1 '
It friend, we greet tlree, hand and
heart,
If stranger, such no longer be.
If foe, our love shall conquor thee."
