PARKER'S VOTE
rs Over One Million Less than ~ry.
ans Four Years Ago.
TIE OFFICIAL RETURNS AoW III
Also Show That Roosevelt's Total
Vote Was Only Little Over
Four Hundred Thousand
More than McKinley's.

The official canvass by States Of the
votes In the recent Presidential cleo
ton, which is now nearly complete,
shows some startling results, which
even the most astute politicians failed
to foresee. Undoubtedly the greatest
surprise is found in the fact that the
total of the popular vote was less than
In 1900. From the latest figures,
most Of which are official, it Is found
that Roosevelt received 1902 $50
votes and Parker 5, l1e, 704. In 1900
Mckinley had 7,2l7, $40 and Bryan
6,357,S-6. Taus Roosevelt's gain
over McKinley's vote was only 48o,-
$40, while Parker's loss from the
Bryan vote was approximately three
times that figure, or 1888, 122. For
every new recruit in the Republican
army there were three deserters from
the Democrats.
This shows that the combined vote
for Roosevelt and Parker totalled 12,-.
S2l,884, which was 1853, 1852 less than
the combined vote for Mckinley and
Bryan in 1900. Add 100000 for the
Socialist vote, and the total is still
ab ,ut $50, 900 short Of the total vote
of al! parties in 1900, which was 49,
96l,566. There is no reason for be-
ieving that the Populist, Prohibi-
tieaist and Stcialist-Labor candidates
had so many as $4,000.
This indicates clearly that fewer
persons voted than in the preceding
contest. Ont Of the entire list OF
States there we're on1y three in which
Roosevelt's vote was smaller than Nc
Kinley's, and Parker's greater than
Bryan's. These were Georgia, Miss!s-
sippi and South Carolina. In eight
States-Alabana, kentucky, Maine,
Maryland, North Carolina, Tennessee,
Texas and Virginia both Parker and
Roosevelt received fewer votes than
Bryan and Mckinley, respectively. l.:
four-Delaware, Massachusetts,, F
Island and West Vuginia-PalHe' :.
vote was larger than Bryan's, AMI
3 .ose7elt's larger than McKinley's.
In the other thirty Roosevelt had
more votes than Mckinley and Parker
less votes than Bryan.

An INTERESTING CASE.
Two Negro Women Claim to Be the
widows OF Paul Lighraey.

There was an interesting case at
Orangeburg before Judge Of Probate
Robert E. Copes a few days ago. 1t
seems that some time last spring
Paul Lizhtsey, colored, was killed by
the fast train of the Seaboard Air
Line railway at the town OF Norway,
in this county. Lightsey was driving
a wagon across the track at the time
be vas killed. Mr.. 81. L. SoIomons
took out letters OF administration Of
the estate and the railroad company
paid him several hundred dollars as
administrator to settle the claim
against the railway Tor killing Light
sey.
After the payment Of the expenses
OF adm nistration there remained
quite nice sum for the heirs Of the
deceased. BE had been living near
Norway for about 10 or II years and
had a wife there by the name OF Re
becca Lightsey and several children
by her. Reoecca applied to the court
for the payment OF the surplus funds
to her and children as heirs OF Paul
Lightsey. Then came one Jane
Lightsey fro n Banberg county and
alleges that she was married to Paul
Lightsey several years ago; that he
left her about "A years ago, and she
had lost sight OF him until she heard
OF his death. She has no children.
A hearing was held and number OF
witnesses we're examined before
Judge Copes, and it seems that Jane
Lightsey succeeded in establishing
her marriage to Paul.
Lightsey left no children by his
first wife, Jaoe, and under the law
bis children by his second wife, Re.
becca, are illegitimate, and the qaes-
tion nov is what portion Of the fund
goes to Jane Lightsay left several
half brothers and sisters, who live In
Dorchester county, and they are
claiming, through Mr.. NJ. S. Connor,
their attorney at ST. Georges. At
torney Bellinger, for Jane Lightsey
contends that in case for personal
injuries the damages accrue only to
father, mother, widow or children,
parties specially named in the stat
utes. and that the funds do not go
into the estate generally for all the
heir. The interesting question at
present is whether Jane Lightsey will
get more than one half Of the fund,
one half being her regular widows
portion under the statutes OF distri-
button; and thep what disposition will
be made Of the remaining half. Or is
Jane Lfghtsey entitled to the entire
fund as widow In the absence CT any
legitimate children and father OF
mother

Will Worry Along.

Mr.. Rockefeller's Standard oil has
this year paid a dividend Of only $50
per share, compared with s44 In 1903.
This decrease of sS on the share will
mean a loss Of just s3, 100000 IN the
Rockefeller income. But the recent
AGENT raise in the price OF Standard
oil will probably enable the poor man
to tide over the hard winter.
