The vote reported ls:
r. G. Croft, 3,562
S. G. Mayfeld, Isis
L. J. Williams, 345
J. O. Patterson, l,O2e
Total, 7,5l5
Of this number s,75S would be a
majority, and Mr.. Croft is short Of
it by 1856.
Six boxes remain to be heard from
in Barnwell, seven in Saluda, thir-
teen in Hampton and five in Aiken.
Mr.. Croft so far has obtained about
half the votes returned from Saluda.
He is also obtaining little less than
half in Hampton. He is getting
about half of the Barnwell vote and Of
the remainder of Aiken will be prac-
tically solid for him.
The figures therefore strongly indi-
cate that be will almost have muior-
ity; but that he will almost as surely
not quite reach it. IT the Aiken ano
Barnwell unreported vote balance
each ether the same is equally proba-
Bile in Hampton and Saluda. This
would leave him still lacking 19e
votes of a majority.
1t seems pretty certain that Mr..
Croft and Mr.. May6eld must run
again.

impressive pageant ever seen in America.
1t will be dream of the Arabian Nights
suddenly come to life. Mr.. Frederic w.
Thompson has selected the procession Of
retainers, wealth of pomp and riot OF
color and Indian extravaganza of dis
play that stamped the Durbar as the
most stnpendous spectacle that the world
has ever seen, for reproduction at his
famous amusement resort.
The procession of retainers took place
on the second day of the Durbar and in
an immense amphitheatre, where it was
reviewed by the yiceroy and his guests.
1t consisted of the rulers of every State
and petty principality of India, lied by
its hereditary Maharajah or Prince, in
person. Each one brought his best and
costliest, each Wed with his neighbor in
pride and possession of elephants, jewels
and vassals. 1t was cleaning, glitter
ing, beJeWeled throng, with thousands
upon thousands of soldiers in gold fas-
tened armor and gaily caparisoned
horses ablaze with precious stones, ev-
erywhere.
Mr.. Thompson, who was himself pres
ent at the Durbar a year ago last Janu-
ary, bought at Delhi many of the uni
forms, trappings and harness for horses
and elephants that were used, and which
together with the herd of sixty elephants,
which is the largest captured herd ever
taken out of India, are due to arrive by
special steamer, chartered for the pur-
pose, about the.middle of April. The ele-
plants will be the great feature Of. this
Luna Park pageant, as they were in
reality the most gorgeous part of the
Durbar itself.

Whereupon one of the old-time sailors
asserted:
.'Yes-sir-ee. In them days We had
wooden ships and men of iron, but now

ships during the great conflict loved the
old wooden tubs with a love that passes
the comprehension of the modern sailor
The sailor of today holds nearly all war
ships in the same regard, and his only
preference is expressed for the latest that
he happens to be assigned to, unless ii
lacks some Of the modern convenienees
of some other ship he had sailed in.
The old-tiine sailor when he. was as
signed to a ship usually remained with
that craft until the expiration of his
term of enlistment, and it often hap
pened and that when an old salt re-en-
listed he would do so on the express stip-
ulation that he was to go with his old
ship and the officers and shipmates he
had grown to like The system in the
modern navy does not encourage the per-
sonal attachment of the men to particu-
lar ships. The men are transferred FREE
quently from one vessel to another. and
most of the craft are built pretty much
on the same lines.
Men OH the gunboats envy the men on
the cruisers, and the sailors on the cruis-
ers sometimes visa they were on the
big battleships, but they are moved from
one to the other so often that the avera ge
good sailor becomes acquainted with the
different types Of warships and is at
home on all.
The sailors Of other days regarded
their ships as their homes, their sweet
hearts and wives. If one would get, an
