the Officers.

New York, Dec. 26.-The four
negroes who we're arrested in

canvass of the popular vote polled at the
last presidential election, complete. except as to
the one county, in Tennessee and four counties
in Michigan, for which estimates are given, has
been made by the New York Times. This
shows that Mr. Roosevelt defeated Judge Par
ker bv 2,546,169. He polled the largest vote
ever given president of the United StateS-7,
64O.56O, This is more than 100000 in excess of
the vote cast for Mckinley in 1896. The official
figures for Missouri shows that Roosevelt car
ried that state by q, 900 votts. In M syland one
republican elector received the largest vote, but
his colleagues we're defeated. The democrats
of MARYLAND, therefore, i'll have votes in
the electoral college, while the republicans will
have only one A. comparison with the vote ta-
bic of 1900 shows marked changed 10 the so
cialst vote Debs, the candidate for the party
that year, was also this years candidate, and the
vote shows an increase of more than 100000.
Watson, the populist candidate, ran strongest IN
his own -Ceorgia-where he received H.
635 votes. He received most of his votes ID the
south and west, but only one was cast for him
ia South Carolina The total vote is given as
1854 119, and that for each of the presidential
candidates is as follows: Roosevelt, republican,
7.64O $50; Parker, democrat 1904, 391; Debs, Sc
cialist 3q2, S57; Swallow, prohibition, 24S,411;
Watson, populsts, 124,3S1; Corregan, socialist
labor, $3.50. The electoral vote will be $50 for
Roosevelt and 40 for Parker.-Com monor.

Accidental Killing Of Earl Ray

One Of the most deplorable ac-
cidents ia the history of the
colony was the shooting of Earl
Ray, the u year old son OF MI
and Mrs. Stewart Ray, last Mon
day about noon.
1t appears that he and Wesley
Ivey, son of Mr.. J. D. G. Ivey, a
| lad of about the same age as the
unfortunate boy who was shot,
planned to have Christmas
hunt and borrowed a % CALDER
rifle from a boy by the name OF
Glover.
They started for the country,
but before they reached the city
limits the rifle was discharged
while in the hands of the lvey
boy, the ball entering young
Rays side just above the hip and
ranged downward.
Wesley Ivey Immediately took
the wounded boyon his back and
carried him to the home OF his
broth ,r, Mr.. Roy Ray, which
was close to the scene of the
shooting, and from whence be
was taken to his own home
where every care and attention
that loving hearts and skllltul
hands could minister we're given
him until 9 o'clock this morning,
when the last chapter of the sad
affair was closed by his death.
| The funeral services will be
conducted at the home at 2 p. M.
Friday, by Rev. w. 7. Cum minis
of the First M. E. church, ant
the interment will be in Ever

This regrettable tragedy was
purely accidental and is greatly

yThe man VIII, hides behind anything is. not

And the man who is always liar and cow
ard is usually hiding. We have known editors
to hid behind pettcoats when they wanted to
shift the responsi bility of editorial express
sion. We have seen them strike over the Shout

and we have seen them excuse their misdeeds
bv taking refuge behind the reputation OF men
of acknowledged integrity.
The Enterprise heartily commends the sem
tment Our condemnation of the cringing COW

nent people or lawyers of reputation, has been
generally observed in this community. When
we want to hide anything in particular, we hide
it behind the nomdepume, J. b. Mercer

But such is the TACT. The exhibit pal
aces of the Louisiana Purchase Ex-
position average much larger than
those of Chicago and are greater in
number. About 100 acres of floor
space are provided in the various pal
aces of the present Worlds Fair and
more than twenty buildings will be
used for exhibit purposes. The larg-
est of these is the Palace of Agricrl-
ture, which covers twenty acres. The
tation, covering fifteen acres and con-
tanning four miles of railway tracks

cars. At the Chicago Exposition
there were practically no outdoor ex-
hibits. At this Worlds Fair about 100
acres are given up to outdoor displays,
supplementing in a most pleasing
manner the hundreds of thousands of
indoor exhibits. At the Chicago Ex-
position one building was used for
no less than three important depart
ments. At the Worlds Fair in st.
Louis four buildings, covering forty
five acres, are given up to the same
four departments.
The total cost of the Worlds Fair
is estimated at from forty to fifty
million dollars, exclusive of the value
of the exhibits. The Palace of Ma

the value of eight million dollars. :.

1t is now little more than two
months before the gates will open
upon the Worlds Fair at st. Louis and
the public will be invited to see the
greatest exposition that has ever been
created. The vast exhibit palaces are
complete and many of them have been
finished for several months. Within
the next two months all of them are
to be frightened with new coats of
paint SO that, on the opening day, the
magnificent array of palaces will ap-
pear as fresh as newly blossomed
rose.
No one, no matter how vivid his i'm
agination, can picture to himself the
scene that will be presented when the
Exposition is complete. The more one
sees this great collection of exhibit
palaces and countless other buildings,
the more deeply impressed he be-
comes with the grandeur of the under
taking. AS the days grow longer and
the air becomes balmy with the
breeZes of spring, the Exposition will
take on far greater activity than it
has seen during the boisterous days
of winter. In spite of the severe
weather, work has not ceased upon the
construction of the Worlds Fair for
more than day or two at time and
there is every expectation and prom
Use that it will be complete on the
opening day.

MARKETING FOR THE SEA cow.
1t Is Necessary Now to Cut Through
Ice to Get at the Eel Grass.


The man who does the marketing
for the Aquarium sea COW has had to
do some lively hustling this winter to
keep that big animal supplied with
food.
The sea COW is eight foot long,
weighs 800 pounds, and has a healthy
appetite. In the first eighteen weeks
after it's arrival here from Florida, on
Sept. last, it ate ninety bushels of
eel grass, six bushels of fennel-leafed
pond weed and two bushels of ulva,
or sea lettuce, making ninety-eight
bushels of aquatic plants in all in
eighteen weeks, or an average of
about five and one-half bushels a
week, which is about it's present rate
of consumption.
The eel grass and other things for
the sea cows table are gathered in
Gravesend Bay or the waters there
with connected. Baymen say that the
present has been the hardest winter
hereabouts on the water in twenty-five
years. On many days it has been nee
essary to cut through the ice to get

Brain Growth.

Brain development is found by Prof.
Seggel of Munich to have two periods
of acceleration-from 10 to II and
from II to Is in girls, and from IL to
Is and 10 to 20 in boys. At the period
of most rapid increase in height-from
IL to IA years-the growth of the
brain is less than one-hundredth that
of the body, but at II to 10 it grows
one-thirtieth as fast, and at 20 reaches
one-seventh of the body growth.

cows food, sometimes through ice ten
inches in thickness and often through
ice of five or six inches.
Sometimes when the ice had moved
out with a shift of the wind, leaving
open spaces, access to the eel grass
would have closed in, and then it
would be necessary to cut holes in it
to get at the eel grass below.
So the work of supplying the sea
cows table has been so far this win

A starfish can neither see nor hear
Neither has it the sense of smell In
spite of those seeming impediments,
nevertheless, it seeks and devours its
prey as neatly as an ordinary fish. The
starfish lies upon its prey and folds
its arms" or rays completely about
it. Then it pushes its stomach out
through its mouth and will wrap even
a large oyster and shell within the
folds of the stomach. The mouth OF
the starfish is in the center of its

twelve driving wheels. We shall hear
the largest organ in the world in the
most beautiful festival hall ever built.
We shall see some of the greatest sea-
coast defense guns manufactured for
the United States government. In the
Government Building, which is the
largest exhibit building ever erected
by federal authority at an Exposition,
there will be model of a half of
battleship for the Navy display. The
United States Government has also

Cost Him SIS.
A French visitor to New York, an
enthusiastic automobilist, has learned
lesson as to how things are done
in America. On several occasions
when speeding a machine through
Central park he has seen policemen
hold up hand. The result was an
increase of speed and wave of the
hand in return. The police have been
in the hopes of catching him, and
finally one of them did so by placing
his horse in the autos track, compell-
ing it to come to a standstill In court
the Frenchman was amazed at the
cause of his arrest. He took the sig
nails of the officers as concentrations
and Congratulations and turned on
more power to show them what he
could do. The lesson cost him So.
