WHAT CAUSED DEFEAT.
Democratic Chairman Lloyd Issues
d Statement.

-On the night Of the election Jas.
T. Lloyd, chairman Of the Democrat
ie national Con n2ressianal committee,
issued the following statement
present indications are that Con-
gress will be Democratic about 35
majority. Thus far the returns in
dioate that our prediction estimates
were about correct. ~.
9Th causes which have led to the
results today are well known: 1t
IS srious rebuke to, the Republt-
can party for Its failure to reduce
the tariff, as the people believed the
party had promised. The high cost
Of protected. manufactured articles,
which has resulted in greatly in
creased cost ofaliying, has had very
much tot,do with producing this re-
suit. There is general dissatisfac-
ton with the existing political con-
ditions and with the present Repub-
lican administration. This has led
to its reputation as far as could
be dcne at the polls.
"The Democratic party has won a
victory because the only hope Of the
people is In it's supremacy. -.
"The Republican party has shown
by it's course that it will not enact
legislation in the interest Of the
masses where such lgislation would
be to the detriment of the classes" 4"

President Taft Fired Stuart from a
Good Office

Announcement Thursday of the
appointment of Fred Read as collec'
tor of customs at Newport News
Va, marked the end of fight that
began early last winter and forced
the retirement from the office which
he had held for four years Of j. b
B. Stuart, son Of the famous Con
federate leader.
President Roosevelt appointed Mr.
Stuart to office as compliment tc
the South, he said. Early during
his term, Mr.. Stuart became involv'
ed in a civil service investigation
because he deposed two white de
puties and put in their places ne
groes who happened to be party
leaders.
President Taft took up the matter
last week and decided to appoint
Mr.. Read, but announcement Of the
appointment was deferred until las
Thursday, when it was given out a.

Medical Attention Of any Kind and
Dies From Fever.

Miss Mary Bridges, aged about 80
years, leader of the Christian Science
sect at Wilmington, N. c., and one
of that city's most wealthy and
prominent young women, died on
Thursday morning after. q illness OF
ten days from typhoid fever and the
fact that no physician was called
in during her illness has caused in
tense indignation among her friends
and relatives.
Miss Bridges, not only was lead
er OF the Christian Scientists, but
gave literally of her wealth to main
tain the church. Several years ago
she purchased tract Of land in the
suburbs and developed 1t Into one
OF the most exclusive residential sec
tions OF the city. It was there that
Miss Bridgers built the Christian
Science church.
About 80 days ago Miss Bridges
fell while inspecting a handsome
house she was having built and it
was believed at the time that she
sustained internal injuries but she
would receive no services of ply
sician except in the capacity Of q
surgeon, she having received a bad
cash upon her face in the fall.
Miss Bridges was a daughter OF
the late Robert r. Bridges, for many
years president Of the Atlantic
Coast Line Railroad, and she was
connected with many OF the lead
ing families in the State.

The Sixty-second Congress, which
was elected on Tuesday, will stand
as follows:

Majority of house, 1876.

Complete returns on the election
Of representatives IN congress indi-
cate that the Democrats will have u
working majority of 80 in the next
house. The number of Democrats
elected to Congress, according to the
latest returns, which are Of an un-
official character, Is 226.
The Republican representation Will
be 1853 or 164, or seats less than
the Democrats now have in the Six
ty-frst 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 Wiscon-
sin districts, and it is not impossible
that the official figures will chance
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 recount may be neces-
sary to decide the election.

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

| Two hundred r fuIy.elSnC DuSHciS
Is O Mistake.
The State says Jerry H. Moore, of
Winona, in Florence county, Is the
champion corn grower Of South Car
olina and of the world.
He is Is years of age and pro-
duced 22s bushels and 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 $50
bushels.
Jerry Moore is the son Of a 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 member of the
Florence County Boys Corn club. He
will win number Of prizes in the
county and State contests and at the
South Atlantic States Corn eXposi-
ton, which Is to be held in Colum-
bia from December to s.
Several days ago it was reported
that a boy in Marlboro county had
produced 25S bushels. This record
was investigated by Ira w. Williams
and he found that there was 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. Will
| liams:
"After carefully investigating and
having the corn measured of the re-
puted 25S bushels per acre, 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 corn pro-
duetion. It Is certainly more re-
| markabl than the Drake yield, If the
| reports as to how the Drake yield
| was made is true; for, In cost OF pro-
| duction, it Is by far the least Of tine
large yields produced, and the meth
DDS are such that any man could fol-
low and expect the most profitable
results.
"There were 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 seem"
/ 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 gol
15S bushels. Young Odom planted
his corn in three-foot nine-inch rows
about six inches in the drill. Fer

senators, which with "a hold-over
senators, gives them a total OF 5u.

gives them a total of 40.
Two senantorships are still ia
doubt-namely the successor Of the
late MT. Dolliver in Iowa and Of Mr..
Carter in Montana, where there Is
prospect Of tie.
