The rapid yet substantial growth
of Enterprise is plain to all who are
here-the construction of business
houses and residences. with the
demand for such buildings keeping
far in advance of the supply, being
evidence to the eye that is indisput-
able. To people at distance the
best barometer of expanding bust
ness and growth of population and
trade is the postal receipts.
From figures furnished by Post
master Weathers, these receipts are
shown to back up the growth indi-
Gated by new construction. The re-
ceipts for September, aside from
money orders, were over so per cent
greater than for September 1908.
While the September increase was
the banner one SO far this fiscal
year, "very month shows big in
crease over the same month of a
year ago. October receipts were
$S5O.79, an increase of nearly 30 per
cent. and the largest months receipts
in the history of the office except
one.
The number OF money orders is

a verdict in the case of e. C. Watkins,

ing.
When court convened this morning
no few persons in the court room
looked for Judge Adams to again call
the jury in and inquire as to whether
or not it had arrived at verdict
This Judge Adams failed to do. The
court, in fact. never once referred tc
the jury. He simply started in with
a resumption of the trial of the Brig.
man murder case. The jury tonight
stands as it did Saturday night-si,
for conviction and six for acquittal.

USUAL MAJORITY IN VIRGINIA.
Great Efforts of Republicans Has Lit
tie Eject i'm Old Dominion.

Richmond, Va, Nov. 2.-Judge Will
liam Hodges Mann, of Nottoway, Dem
ocrat, was elected governor of Vir
ginia today over William p. Kent, of
Wythe, Republican. He has carried
the entire Democratic ticket with him,
the Republican not making serious
contention for a single Office.
Mann's plurality with returns prac
,tically complete from seventeen out
of nineteen cities and eighty-four out
of one hundred counties is 23,500.
Swanson's majority for governor four
years ago was 37.749, and Bryan's plu-
rality in Virginia at the last presiden-
tia1 election was 30,343.
The cities still to be heard from are
Newport News and Bristol, and in
complete returns indicate that Mann
will carry both. The vote in the
not change the result materially.
The next house of delegates will be
Overwhelmingly Democratic, as usual.
The election of seventy-one Democrats
and twelve Republicans is practically
certain. The last house stood eighty
six Democrats and fourteen Republi-
cans and Independents. The returns
tonight indicate the election of
Charles A. Johnson.
The vote polled throughout the
state was comparatively light, but the
falling off seemed to effect the candi-
dates of both parties proportionate1y
The election was remarkable for the
complete absence of disorder.
j. Taylor Ellyson, the Democratic
state chairman, who was reelected
lieutenant governor, led the ticket
and his vote will be we'll ahead of that
of Judge Mann. B. o. James was
elected secretary of the common
wealth by large plurality in spite
of the fact that there were many
scattering votes throughout the state
| for D. o. Eggleston, the original nom
inee for Office, who died after the bal
| lots had been printed.
Samuel w. Williams, of Wythe, was
elected attorney general; A. w. Har
man, Jr., of Rockbridge, was choser
| for state treasurer; J. d. Eggleston
Jr., of Prince Edward, was named FOL
superintendent of public instruction
| and G. W. Koiner was reelected com
missioner Of agriculture and immigra
tion.
The vote polled in Southwest Vir
ginia, the Republican stronghold
showed falling off in the Republican
majorities.
