Some of the city occials are on the
anxious bench, fearing shake up.
Who hit Billy Patterson is now the
question. ....
Evidently good many people did
not vote Tuesday like they talked.
Miss Rosale Barton has returned
from New York and has resumed
charge of the Kohn Millinery Depart
| ment.
Judge DeVore declared it was his
custom to find a blind tiger enough
to eal up his profits. He ought to
give them even more than that.
The Times and Democrat has no
political axe to grind. For that rea-
son it can view the result of Tues
days election with best wishes for
all.
1t comes to US on pretty good au-
thority that a position awaits City
Engineer Hawes in another State with
better salary atachmen than he gets
here.
| The Times and Democrat extends
it's condolences and congratulations
to all defeated candidates. They have
have escaped the hard work and
criticism.
Miss Emma Stabler will not re-
sumo her position with the Kohn
Store until the 18th or Goth of this
month. This is due to a severe ill
ness Of her sister.
The big vote received by Mr.. T. A.
Fairey Tuesday indicates his popu-
larity. Some Of these days in the
not distant future he may be entered
by his friends in the race for Mayor.
Miss Carrie Dukes, of Vance, will
leave for a Business College on the
11th. We hope she will make sue
cess and be back now soon. She will
be missed by old and young and we
regret to see her go.
Whatever may be said about City
Engineer Hawes, no one can deny his
professional ability. He certainly
knows his official connection with
Orangeburg he has done much valua-
BILE and lasting service here.
Don't forget the ice cream festi-
val Saturday afternoon at four
o'clock for the benefit of the St.
George Church. Will be given on the
lawn in front of Mr.. H. R. Jamison's
house. The public is invited.
They say seeing is believing. Judg-
ing by the number Of ladies who are
selecting their coat suits now at the
Kohn Store 1t is more than belief
it is positively convincing that they
are showing the best in the State.
There are one or two more cases
dealing with those breaking the IL
quor law, and it Is to be hoped that
they will be dealt with in like
manner as the one who was prompt
ly fined Monday morning and told
that the next time meant imprison-
ment.
Mr.. w. w. Wannamaker, who was
defeated fer Mayor by ". M. Sain by
ono vota asked his 1uppessfu1 onDOD-

WINS BY ONE VOTE.
Alderman Sain Elected Mayor Over
Alderman Wanamaker.

The municipal campaign came to
a close Tuesday by the election OF
Alderman William Sain Mayor by a
plurality of one vote over Alderman
w. W. Wannamaker, the vote for the
two gentlemen named being 219 and
21S, respectively. Mr.. o. K. Wilson
the third candidate received % votes.
Mr.. Sain received 21 votes less than
majority of the voters cast. 1t Us
claimed By some that had Mr.. Wilson
not been in the race tn 1T Mr.. Wanna
maker would have been elected, as
most OF those who voted for Mr.. Will
son would have voted for Mr.. Wanna
maker had Mr.. Wilson been out of
the race.
The following the vote received for
The times and democrat. [volume] (Orangeburg, S.C.) 1881-current, 1911-09-14

The first six aldermen named were
elected. Only two of them, Messrs.
X. F.. Bryant and R. H. Jennings are
members of the present board Of aid
ermen. Mesrs. Abial Lathrop and j.
x. Weeks are also members of the
present board Of Aldermen. They
were defeated for reelection. Messrs.
T. A. Fairey, W. G. Smith, and ]. A:
Salley have served as Aldermen be-
fore. Mr.. WI. W. Crum is the only
man who has never served as Alder
man before on the new board
The isues in the campaign were
measures and not men. Mr.. Wanna
maker advocated the establishment Of
recorders court for the city, which
lost him good many votes. Mr.. Sain
took the other side and the fact that
he was elected shows that the people
agreed with him. When the issue
was drawn, many of those who would
have voted for MIR. Wilson went over
to either Sain or Wannamaker and in
this way his vote was considerably
cut down. The vote Mr.. Wilson re-
ceived is no test of his popularity.
Alderman Sain has served the city
in that capacity for great many
years, and has always been true and
faithful to his trust. In his hands
as Mayor we hope the city will con-
tinue to grow and prosper. He has
a good board Of Aldermen who will
do all they can to help make his
administration success. Some think
that there will be many changes in
the personel of the city officials, while
others think that things will go along
in pretty much the same old rut. We
will all have to wait and see.

His mother being sick he went into
North for some rnedincine and to
meet a train. He got the medicine

heard the train blow. He ran out.

black smoke over building. Recog-

and witness said he thought Frank
saw him standing on the track, and
consequently witness drove away for
about block in his buggy. Put his
horse up at Mr.. Boles, and went to
the fire. At the fire Frank and Hor-
ace Leysath were sitting on the rail-
road. He said the building was blaz-
ing and that smoke was over the
building when Frank came out.
On cross examination witness said
curtains to the store were down and
he didn't see any light until Frank
Leysath opened the door. He denied
conversation with Otto Livingston
in which he said that the Leysath
boys jumped out Of the window. Ada
mitted forging his uncle's name to a
note; also of signing his mother-in-
laws name with her consent. Also
admitted being up before Magistrate

HOLY LAND LIKELY TO BOOM
Eionists Plan to Purchase Hundred
Thuosnnd Acres of Palestine
and Colonize,

To buy 10000 acres of land annually in
Palestine in order to establish colonies of
Jews was the principal proposition OF a
practical nature placed before the four
teenth annual convention of the Federation
of American Zionists at It's session at Tan
nersville, Pa. This proposition was made
by the national fund commission, which
Is the active agency OF the Zionist move
ment for the purpose of regalning the Holy
Land for the Jewish people. The national
fund commission reported through DR. NJ,
Bodenheimer OF Cologne, Germany that in
addition to the eighty eight agricultural
colonies established in Palestine through
the efforts OF zionists a residential suburb
for artisans had been established close 10
the port Of Jaffa
The political situation in the Ottoman en-
pire, as it affects the progress OF the Zion
list movement, was the subject of a pro-
longed debate at the session. 1t was recog-
nized that the policy OF the Young Turk
party, aiming toward the naturalization
Of the entire empire and in opposition 10 the
autonomy Of the various nationallties within
the empire, was bound to delay the reali-
cation of the zionists' purpose to secure
a publicly and legally assured home for
the Jews in Palestine, and the movement
would have better immediate prospect for
regaining the Jewish national soil II the
opposition should triumph. Nevertheless,
while the delegates were unequivocaly OPP
posed TO any amendment OF the movemtnt's
platform, the convention adopted a resolu-
tlon calling on the International Zionist
Congress and the greater and inner actions
committees to maintain an attitude OF strict
neutrality toward the Turkish political par
ties-New York Tribune.

while the steam machines exceeded the
electrics in 1904, they have now fallen to
third place. That the manufacture Of
business vehicles is still in it's infancy is
shown by the fact that in 1909, out of a
total of $50 machines. 102, sos were pleas
ure vehicles and only 3,2sS were business
vehicles. The most common form of pleas
ure vehicle is the touring car, of which
over 5000 were manufactured in 1909. Next
comes the runabout, with over 5000 over
$1,000 Of the pleasure vehicles had horse
power of between 30 and 80.
The statistics for the manufacture of
most of the articles in this country for
1909 are not yet available but some idea
Of the magnitude of this industry can be
had when we realize that in 1900 the value
of all the ships built in this country during
that year was less than SIS, 900, 900; of loco

Assistant Professor OF Political Economy
in Yale University.
No industry shows a more remarkable
growth than that OF the manufacture Of
automobiles. In 1899 the value of the
machines produced was s4,5OO,oOO. The value
OF the annual product for the year 1904 was
$24. 500, 600 and during the year 1909 1t
reached the tremendous total OF sls5, 100, 600
The Increase therefore from 1899 to 1909 was
over 1000 per cent.
In 1890, 3.723 machines were manufac-
tured, while in 1909 127.2Ss were placed on
the market. More than half of the ma
chimes in 1909 were manufactured in Michi-
gan, and this accounts for the remarkable
growth of Detroit. The next three states
in order of size Of production are Ohio In
diana and New York. OF the machines
manufactured in 1903, 12l, 900 we're gasoline
$500 electric, and 240o steam. The principal
