Mr.. w. G. Moss dropped in and

Stuart carried Burke's Garden by
only 42 majority.
Here is a clipping from the Roam
oke Times, which gives an interesting
bit of history:
"While the country pauses to
await the verdict at the polls next
Tuesday il is interesting to recall
that the interest in the coming cleo
tion is insignificant as compared with
the state of the public mind half a
century ago. Fifty years ago today
the nation was awaiting with fever
ish intensity the result of the most
memorable election i'm the history of
the country. The following day,
November 6, 1860, Abraham Lincoln
was elected President. A few weeks
later came Buchanan's message that
while the South had no right to Sc
cede, the government had no right to
use coercion. The year closed with
the rising of the curtain for South
Cardinals prelude of the Civil War,
the ordinace of secession having
been passed December 20. Thence
forward events hastened toward a
crisis, and the spring of 1861 found
the nation at war.

SLEMP'S ELECTION
Is NOT CONCEDED
Official Returns May Show
That Stuart Has Carried
The Ninth District.

A message received in this office
last night states that Mr.. Stuart no
longer comedies the election of
Slemp, but has received information
that leads him TO believe that an
official count will give him a majori-
ty.
1t is reported that gross irregular
tiles have been discovered in several
of the counties, and that when a pro-
per count is made Mr. Stuart will
have majority of about 100.
A report was current on the streets
this morning that the Roanoke Times
claimed Stuart's election by about
120 majority.
The mere fact that Stuart will not
concede the election of his opponent
gives color to the rumor that he has
information that assures him that
his election will result from the Off
cial vote.

Much To BE Thankful For

The exact result of the election is
not known at this writing, Thursday
afternoon. The majority Tor MIR.
Slemp as claimed by his campaign
managers, is only about $50. These
figures are not conceded to be cor
rect by the Stuart people, but grant
ing that they are, Stuart won a great
victory. When he entered the race he
faced Republican majority of 41O1.
To reduce this to half as many hun
dred is a result wonderful indeed. 1t
is far cry from 1000 to 200, but
Stuart made it and perhaps closer
still. Certainly the Republicans have
little or nothing to crow about. TAX
ing the results of the election all over
the country the Republicans of the
Ninth district can say with the Blue
field Telegraph, "'bad as it is, we
still have much to be thankful for
1t was a great victory bravely won,
and everybody and every newspaper
in the district who took part in the
fight, have rything to be proud of
and nothing to apologize for. The on
ly regret, of course, is that the gal
liant and worthy candidate was not
elected by large majority.

Slemp's majority, $50.
The election passed quietly in
town, and equally so at every voting
place in the county, so far as heard
from. Something over three thousand
votes were cast in the county, against
about 2OO0 in 1908. Slemp's majority
is 399, as against 81 two years ago.
AS will be seen there was a Demo-
cratic gain of nearly so per cent. The
