THE POPULAR VOTE.
Taft Gets Majority over All, But sry'
an Shows Gains.

an Shows Gains.
The total popular vote Of the various
presidential candidates at the last
national election was made known in
New York last Tuesday, in an official
form by the filing Of the last OF the
official vote, that of Michigan. The
total shows the following votes cast:
Taft (Republican), 7637,676.
Bryan (Democratic), 6,393,1S2.
Debs (Socialist), 447,651.
Chain (Prohibition), 421,252.
Hisgen Qndependence), S3,1S6.
Watson (Populist), 1881.
Gilhaus (Social Labor), 15,421.
Total for all candidates, 14,S52,239.
This grand total exceeds by 1,341,-
531 the total number of votes cast In
the presidential election Of 1904. when
the grand total was 13,510,70S.
Compared with that election the
candidates of the Republican, Demo-
cratic and Socialist parties increased
their vote this year. The reverse Is
true of the candidates Of the Prohibi-
ton, Populist and Socialist Labor par
ties. The independence party did not
figure in the presidential election OF
four years ago.
The biggest difference in a party is
shown in an increase for Bryan of l.
215,211 over the total vote cast In 1904
for Alton e. Parker, the Democratic
candidate. Taft received 14,19O votes
more than were polled for President
Roosevelt in 1904, and Debs ran 45,S6S
ahead of his predecessor on the So
cialist ticket.
The heaviest loss is shown by the
Populists who with the same can
didate, registered S3,312 votes less this
year than in 1904, when their total was
117.1S3. The Prohibitionist candidate,
Chafin. ran 1924 votes behind the 1904
mark of his party, and Gilhaus, the So
cialist Labor candidate, received only
about 50 per cent Of the vote given to
Corrigan, which was 31,249 in the pre-
yiOus presidential race.

in company with the Hon. j. @. Little,
visited the Ninety-Nine Islands on
Broad river, where the Southern Pow

that stream for the purpose Of supply

enterprises in this vicinity. The spring
floods which prevailed in this neighbor-
hood did quite lot of damage to the
preliminary work, which had been done
prior to the suspension Of operations
there last fall, Golfer dams have been
washed away and the line Of railroad
from the works to the quarry has been
badly damaged. The railroad to the
station at Kings Creek is in good con-
dition, however, and is ready for use in
bringing the heavy material which will
be necessary for the development OF
the stupendous work. The Southern
Power company commenced work at
this place about two years ago, and af-

the suspension was in the midst of the

sweet little Thomson's gazelle, called by

gnu, or the rough wart-hogs, or the
sly jackal, or the white and black of
the zebra herds. For l counted In one
brief day $50 head Of game. They

are as many of them as there are Of

Of course in British East Africa
there are the biggest herds Of game In
the world. The British government has
three game reserves in East Africa,
aggregating nearly $4,000 square miles.
The whole East African Protectorate Is
only 100000 square miles, so that the
white settlers complain that there are
too many reserves. Lord Delamere and
Mr.. Bailey, two of the council at Nairo-
bi, have been expelled by Gov. Sadler
for insisting on the reduction Of the
game reserves and also Of the reserves
set aside by the Gritish government for
the natives. Nevertheless, outside of
the reserves, there are sufficient game
herds to draw the most famous hunters
of the world. And this year the IL

than $50,OOO. On one license you may
kill two elephants, two rhinoceri, two

Everybody who has even been in q

when the Judge walks out of his cham

crier drOnes out:
"Oyez, oyez, oyez, the honorable court

Not many persons, however, realize
that the crier says "oyez, oyez, oyez,"
instead Of "harken, harken. harken,'
because Of chance visit that William
the Conqueror made to an English
court almost 900 years ago.
William had overrun England, seized
the government and placed himself at
its head Happening to enter II court
room, he heard the crier call the as
semblage to order in English. William
rebuked him and on the spot decreed
that the business of all English courts
should be transacted in Norman
