SWEEP The HOUSE
DEMOCRATS HAVE GOOD WORK.
ING MAJORITY IN 1T.

The Democrat Elected New Members
In the West, In the East and liz
the South.
The Sixty-second Congress, which
was elected on Tuesday, will stand
as follows:
Democrat elected. 227.
Republicans elected. 1853.
Socialists elected, /.
Total, 391.
Majority Of house, 1876.
Democratic representation In ex.
cess of majority, 80.
Democrats majority over Repub'
licans. 81.
Complete returns on the election
of representatives In congress indi-
cate that the Democrats will have a
working majority of 80 in the next
house. The number Of Democrats
elected to Congress, according to the
latest returns, which are Of an IN
official character, Is 2c6.
The Republican representation Will
be 1853 or 1854, or 7 seats less than
the Democrats now have In the Six.
ty-first congress.
The Eleventh Pennsylvania dis
trict, which Is represented in the
present congress by a Republican.
Is in doubt. The Twelfth Pennsyi-
vania district, also normally Repub-
lican, is likewise doubtful. The ear
lier returns indicated the election OF
Robert E. Lee and he Is carried IN
the table as representative OF this
district. Later reurns. however, give
his Republican opponent, Robt. D.
Heaton, an excellent fighting chance,
and the official count will be neces-
sary to determine the result.
Absolute confidence Is not felt IN
the returns for some Of the Wlscon-
sin districts, and 1t is not impossible
that the official figures will change
the totals of the two parties. The
Fifth Wisconsin district Is claimed
by Victor l.. Berger, Socialist. Henry
F. Cochems, the Republican candl-
date, does not concede Berger's cleo
ton, and a recount may be neces-
sary to decide the election.
Gains by Parties.
Congressional gains were made by
the Republicans and Democrats in
the following States:

GOES UP HEAD
JERRY H. MOORE IS CHAMPION
BOY CORN GROWER
The Report that Another Boy Made
Two Hundred Fifty.eight Bushels

Is O Mistake.
The State says Jerry H. Moore. Of
Winona, in Florence county, is ths
champion corn grower of South Car
DINA and Of the world.
He Is Is years of age and pro
duced 228 bushels and 3 pecks OF
corn on one acre of land.
This Is next to the highest yield
Of corn ever produced and is only
exceeded by the Drake yield of 256
bushels.
Jerry Moore Is the son of q min.
lister, and the great yield was Sc
cured on the parsonage land.
This announcement was made on
Wednesday by Ira W. Williams, State
agent of the United States farm de-
monstration work.
Young Moore Is a member Of the
Florence County Boys Corn club. He
will win a number of prizes in the
county and State contests and at the
South Atlantic States Corn exposi-
ton, which is to be held In Column
bia from December S to g..
Several days ago It was reported
that a boy In Marlboro county had
produced 258 bushels. This record
was investigated by Ira w. Williams
and he found that there was a mis-
take in measuring the corn. The
boy only produced 179 bushels, which
is far below the record of Jerry
Moore.
The following announcement was
made Wednesday by Ira W. VIII
liams:
After carefully investigating nnI
having the corr measured Of the re-
puted 258 bushels per acre, I find
that the worlds record has not been
broken, that the boy will be second
so far as the reports now stand in
the yield from the boys corn clubs
In the State. I will say, however
that there was no intention on the
part Of the boys or the committee or
the people of Marlboro county to
give out any statement that was not
absolute accurate, as all Of them
were anxious that the facts be
known. The mistake occurred In the
method Of measuring the corn. We
do not accept any measurements In
regard to the greatest. yield In the
State except the absolute weight OF
the corn. I think, however, that this
production Is the most remarkable In
the history Of the States cor pro-
ductiop. It is certainly more re-
markable than the Drake yield, II the
reports as to how the Drake yield
was made Is true; for, in cost Of pro-
duction, 1t Is by far the least Of the
large yields produced, and the meth
DDS are such that any man could fol-
low and expect the most profitable
results.
There we're several boys from
this neighborhood In the contest.
This boy Is an orphan boy, his father
having died when he was small. He
has two brothers about his size,
He did not use but 2,400 pounds OF
commercial fertilizer and two loads
Of stable manure.
THE spirit Of this boy in regard
to accurate measurement was the
best I have ever seen.'
No blame or reflection is attached
to this young farmer, Arich Odom
The error was caused by the crude
way Of judging it.. The largest yield
this year in Marlboro county was OBJ.
tanned by Marvin Usher, who goI
1853 bushels. Young Odom planted
his corn in three-foot nine-inch rows
about six inches in the drill. Fer
tilizer used: two loads Of stable man
ure, 100 meal, 800 acid and Sol
soda.

A GREAT VICTORY
DEMOCRATS WENT IN on TUES
DAY on A TIDAL WAVE.
They Not Only Carry the House BY
Sweeping Majority, But Gain Now

Senators.
The political ~upheaval of las,
Tuesday, when the Democrats went
in on a tidal wave, has been follow
ed by o general survey of the po-
| pitical field, which discloses with
greater detail and precision the mag
nitude Of the great Democratic vic
tory.
--latest calculations on the national
house OF representatives. based on
complete, but unofficial returns, show
that the Democrats will have a safe
working majority OF 80.
The outcome of the United States
senate Is now definitely settled. The
Republicans are assured Of l6 new
senator's, which with "a hold-over
senator's, gives them o total OF 6G.
The Democrats are assured Of Is new
senator, which. with rs hold-overs.
gives them a total Of 40.
Two senantorships are still 10
doubt-namely, the successor OF the
late MI. Dolliver in Iowa and of MIR.
Carter In Montana, where there Is
prospect Of a tie.
These determined totals, however,
leave q Republican majority In the
senate as follows:
Total membership, 80; necessary
to majority, At; Republicans, so;
Democrats, 40; doubtful, 2.
The 16 Republican senators con-
sidered assured are from California,
Connecticut, Delaware, Massachu-
sets, Minnesota, Michigan, Nevada,
North Dakota, Pennsylvania, Rhode
Island. Utah, Vermont. Washington.
Wisconsin and Wyoming.
The Is Democratic senator's con-
sidered assured are from Florida, In
dianna, Louisiana, Maine, Maryland,
Missouri, Mississippi, Nebraska, New
Jersey, New York, Ohio, Tennessee,
Texas, Virginia and West Virginia.
A summary of the contests FOR

John Black, of Columbia, money in

The $4,000 draft made on Early,
by Black in favor of Henry ". Black
was offered in evidence. Early iden-

c. W. Dudley, Of Kentucky, who
formerly represented Clarke Bros.

said that once Directors Black, Wylie
and Rawlinson ordered out $500
barrels and 1000 cases of whiskey.
on which Dudley paid them $4,000
IN rebates. The draft was put in
evidence. Dudley said that Of this
Wylie got $1,000, Rawlinson $1,000
and Black $1,700.. :
In the examination Of Dudley 1t
was developed that Dudley had ap-
piled to John Black for funds upon
which Dudley might get across the
,order into Canada, to keep from
t~estifying in this case. He did not
get the money. The defense holds
that this indicated consciousness OF
innocence on the part of Black and
