DEMOCRAT WINS.
Weaver Beats Britt by 10 Votes
Contest Likely.

Asheville, n. c., Nov. 17.-Certl-
fed returns from Buncombe county
given out tonight gave Zebulon
Weaver, Democrat, majority of ten
votes over Representative James }.
Britt, Republican, in the fight fol-
congress in the Tenth North Carolina
district. The board of canvassers an
nounced that returns from the Sandy
Mush precinct had given Weaver
majority of twenty-three, thus over
coming Britt's lead of thirteen.
The increases in Weaver's vote was
caused by the boards ruling that bal
lots with the candidates names print
ed on them. but which were not
marked, should be counted. Separate
ballots were used in the congression-
al race, one for the Republican can
didate and the other for the Demo
cratic.
Britt tonight issued statement
declaring he had been "outrageously
and unlawfully robbed" and it was
indicated that Weaver's right to a
seat in the next congress would be
contested.
Tonight's action unexpectedly fol
lowed the writ of mandamus issued
at Hendersonville yesterday by Su-
perior Judge Shaw, ordering the Bun
combe board of canvassers to com
ply with the law in the matter OF
certifying the county returns or sho"
cause why it should not do so. The
hearing was set for Monday. A mem
Der of the board tonight said the
board had merely obeyed Judge
Shaw's order to officially declare the
result of the election. Britt's attor'
news declare the canvassing board s
action unlawful and will insist on
the hearing Monday.

10000 Belgians Sent From Home.

The Hague, via London, Nov. H.
The number of Belgians deported by
the Germans up to date, according to
information given to the Associated
Press today from a reliable source,
apparently is between thirty and for
ty thousand, and they are being de-
ported at the rate of about 1000
daily.
Antwerp, it was said, has been
commanded to furnish $1,000 men,
which probably is not more than 10
per cent. of it's able-bodied popula-
ton, but the Commune of Lessines
has lost more than 1000 from a to-
tai population, including women and
children, of 1000, representing vir-
tually every able-bodied man, except
ing officials.
The entire Belgian population, the
narrator said, is terrorized because
the people realize they are entirely
helpless. Crowds Of hysterical
women and children gather at the
railway and recruiting stations, and
the departure of train of emigrants
many women at Jeraappes threw
themselves on the rails to prevent
and had to be forcibly removed by
German soldiers.
The men are frequently loaded in
to cattle cars and spend one or two
days on the journey. They are
strongly determined 20 refuse to
work, believing that if they are not
employed in military works they will
be compelled to replace Germans and
be forced to work directly or Indirect
ly against the Belgian army and it's
allies. The reported men in trains
passing through Liege are declared
to have been heard singing the Mar
seillaise and other patriotic airs.

DEUTSCHLAND SMASHES TUG.
Sub-Sea Merchantmen Returns TO
Pier at New London.

New London, Conn.,, Nov. l7.-The
collision which caused the merchant
submarine Deutschland to abandon
her return voyage to Germany al
most at it's outset early today, when
g conveying tug, the T. A. Scott, Jr.'
was sunk with a crew of five men,
was the subject of federal investlga-
ton this afternoon.
The United States inspectors OF
steam vessels, headed by Capt w. T.
Withey, heard, through witnesses, o.
the conditions under which the sub
marine, slipping out of the oaroor
in the darnness so that she might sub
merge in neutral waters before day
break, ran down the tug which was
acting as her protector off Race Rock,
Just outside this port. The testimony
came from Capt. Paul koenig, OF the
Deutschland; from F. w. Krapohl,
his chief officer, and from Hans
Kleese his chief engineer. 1t was
given in secret. but it became known
through statements outside the
chamber that the collision was an &C
cident
Causes Of Accident.
Survivors who would discuss the
matter were agreed that it was due
to a combination of swift currents,
which carried the tug off its course
and across the bow of the submarine
and to the darkness, which was to be
the Deutschland medium of safety,
but which instead prevented ready
observation of the danger ahead.
Capt. Koenig would say only to ques-
TONERS:
Its a terrible thing to lose those
good men. 1 feel it deeply. You
must excuse me"
Before the inspectors fix blame for
the loss of the Scott and its crew
they will hear the testimony of Capt.
Frederick Hinsch, an official of the
Eastern Forwarding company, who
was the only survivor of the tug.
Had Narrow Escape.
Capt. Hinsch was thrown from the
deck house on the tug into the rush
ing water of the Race, where he was
rescued, almost exhausted, by the
crew of the tug Cassie, following be-
hind. Capt. Hinsch was unconscious
after the accident and tonight was
still so exhausted that it may be sew
eral days before he is able to testify.
The Deutschland's return Will be
delayed only few days by the dam
ages she sustained and not at all by
the fact that inquiry is being made.
Examination of her bow today show
ed that three plates had been stove
in to a degree described by some "as
a hole" and others as "a dent Her
stem was twisted to starboard, but
the general structure of the subma-
rine was said to be firmly in place,
notwithstanding the force of the I'M
pact which sent the tug to the bot
tom within few moments.

A POLL ON PROHIBITION.
Most of South Carolina Bankers
Think 1t a Good Thing.

HAS prohibition helped savings
accounts and general moral and eco
nomic conditions?'
This question was put to 1877
bankers in South Carolina by the
Manufacturers Record, of Baltimore,
a weekly periodical dedicated to the
upbuilding of the South.
Of that number 11S are of the
opinion that prohibition has helped
savings accounts and general moral
and economic conditions in South
Carolina. Thirteen think it has not.
twenty-five are non-committal.
Twenty-four failed to answer, some
not receiving savings accounts in
their banks.
In reply to the question, the
American Bank of Commerce, of this
city, said: Eve think So" The City

posits.
The only bank reporting from An
derson, the Farmers Loan and Trust
company, answered the query in the
affirmative The Easley Loan and
Trust company said, "Decidedly yes. )"
The Bank of Greer, and the Plant
ers' Savings Bank of the city, replied
yes" One Spartanburg bank did
not reply to the question, but four
others registered in the affirmative.
Five Laurens banks answered the
question affirmatively. The Citizens
Bank of Taylors, joins the Farmers
and Merchants Bank, of Pamlico, in
the position that prohibition would
help savings accounts and improve
conditions if enforced. Two banks
in Greenwood say Eyes" and two
others do not say. The Liberty Bank
is "sure that it has" The Bank of
Pendleton feels that prohibition has
not helped savings and improved
conditions there. The Seneca bank
takes the affirmative, the other does
not reply. The Farmers Bank of

Two banks in Columbia replied
''yes.' Of the remainder, one de-
clares that it cannot say that pro-
hibition has anything to do with saw
ings deposits Another says that
We "do not have prohibition; have
a gallon-a-month law, which works

the opinion that there is mo prohi-

asserts that the increase is notice

at Salley, Aiken county, "Notice no

1t is to be noted that the affirma-
tive answers range all the way from
timidly favorable opinion, cautious
ly put, to the most positive asser-
tions. Some merely say, in refer

The Peoples bank, of Chesterfield
says that it is ''great force in saw

PURE RICH BLOOD
PREVENTS DISEASE

Bad blood, that is, blood that is
impure or impoverished, thin and
pale,-is responsible for more all
ments than anything else.
1t affects every organ and function.
In some cases it causes eatarrh; in
others, dyspepsia; in others, rheuma-
tism;. and in still others, weak, tired,
languid feelings and worse troubles.
1t is responsible for rundown
conditions, and is the most common
cause Of disease.
Hoods Sarsaparilla is the greatest
purifier and enricher of the blood the
world has ever known. tt has been
wonderfully successful in removing
scrofula and other humors, increasing
the red-blood corpuscles, and building
up the whole system. Get it today.
