which makes a total of 1,524 for Leath
and / ,51S for Byrge.
Maj. W, o. Vertrees as counsel for
Byrge said he was informed that sew
eral clerical errors had been made in
compiling the returns in Anderson
County and the poll books were open
ed The returns from the various pre-
cincts were canvassed, but no clerical
errors were discovered in the Ander-
son County returns.
The poll books of Morgan County
were then opened up and the votes
canvassed. No irregularities were

TEXANS MANIFEST A
CURIOSITY TOSEE MAN
WHO BEAT TAYLOR
Tennessee's Governor Elect
Goes to Houston on
Business
OWNS BIG TRACT OF
LAND NEAR THAT CITY
Loyal to His Own State But
Admirer Of Gulf Coast
Country.

HOUSTON, Texas, Dec. 12.-Hon.
B. W. Hooper, governor elect of Ten
nessee, is spending few days in this
city completing the organization of a
land company in which he is interest
ed along with a number of other Ten
nesseans. They have acquired title to
642 acres just south of this city and
are preparing to put it on the market.
Capt. Hooper attracted no small de-
gree of attention because of his prov
ing the exception to the rule in the
long list of general democratic victor
les in the recent election. Senator
Bob Taylor is extremely popular in
Texas and there was much curiosity to
see and hear the man who defeated
him in one of the most spectacular
campaigns which came to an end last
November.
Tennessee's governor-elect is ex-
tremely loyal to his own state, but at
the same time is an ardent admirer of
the Texas gulf coast country and of
Houston, the distributing, manufact-
uring and railroad center of this vast
territory. Several years ago he in
vested IS, 900 in Oklahoma and finally
closed out his holdings with $45, 900
profit to himself. He came to Houston
last March and Immediately decide
to devote himself to south Texas prop
critics rather than to lands in any of
the other southwestern states because
of greater possibilities. The acreage
he has just purchased represents an in
vestment of over 1925, 600.
During his stay here be has had an
other title conferred upon him. He is
a captain by reason of his service in
the Spanish American war, judge by
reason of his service as United States
district attorney, and is now G'gen-
eral' because he owns land in Texas

BREW THAT STARTED STRIKE
Fearful cs=eoction Responsible for
Trouble Among Women Of Cigar

There never was such a strike as
that OF the 100 women employed in q
cigar factory just across the river
from New York. All Hungarians. they
are as husky as catamounts and have
the same regard for the sacredness OF
human life that a polar bear shows.
None of them can speak English and
no one dares to get close enough to
them either to find out what their de
mands are or to tell them that they
have been accepted. All any one
knows is that they are on strike and
likely to stay so. The proprietors of
the factory are said to be considering
the wisdom Of starting another fac
tory In San Francisco and letting the
strikers take this one apart, II they
want to.
The strike started when some In
spIred idiot at a Hungarian wedding
built a concoction to which he gave

may not be absolutely accurate, but
whatever the lightning conductor is
made Of, the results were always the
same, says the New York correspond.
