ROunlanian Music.

At the Paris exposition of 1900
there was great rivalry between the
Hungarian and Roumanian orches-
tras. The Hungarian gypsies came in
bands there several times to enter
tain the idle Parisians. But the Rou-
manians played the popular airs of
their country on their flutes and clar-
inets, airs moving and tender They
also played, as did their rivals from
beyond the mountains, the violin and
the cobza, kind of guitar with ten
strings which took the place of the
cymbal of the gypsy orchestra. Every
one went to hear the Roumanians be-
cause of their bizarre repertory.
Their white shirts embroidered in
many colors, their white trousers,
braided with black, their short, firing
ed waistcoats added to their pic
turesque appearance. when the
war is over says a French journal,
1.-The patrons of our cafes will substi-
tute the Roumanians for the crisp
haired gypsies."

ANOMALOUS CONDITION.
Comment on Scratching Name OF
Nominee for Governor.

Columbia, Nov. 1.-The local af-
ternoon paper today carried the fol-
lowing: AN anomalous condition
has arisen in South Carolina politics,
if Columbia is to be considered as a
criterion for the remainder of the
State. According to the managers
at various election precincts the ma
jority of the negroes, balloting there
today cast their votes for the State
and county nominees of the Demo-
cratic party with the exception of
governor. They are claimed to have
scratched the name of Richard l..
Manning and inserted the name of
Cole L. Blease.
''At ward two between eight and
eleven negroes are said to have voted
at that precinct. The majority of
them are said to have voted for Cole
L. Blease. However, small minori-
ty of them voted the straight Demo-
cratic ticket. Of the negroes voting
at ward three all of them voted for
Cole l.. Blease.
'One of them scratched out the
name Richard l. Manning while the
election managers were looking on
and wrote the name of Cole L. Blease
in lead pencil. The law requires all
such insertions to be made in black
ink. At ward four, between twenty
five and thirty negroes voted 1t is
not known how they voted for gov
ernor, as they came to the polls with
secret ballots. The only ballots
floating around the State promiscu-
ously as far as it has been able to
ascertain are those prepared by W
P. Beard, of Abbeville, containing
the name of Cole L. Blease for gov,
ernor instead of the Democratic
nominee, Richard I. Manning, and
the names of the other regularly
named Democratic nominees for State
Offices"

NO CHANGE NOTED IN VOTE.
Nothing to Indicate President Won't
Get All of California's Electors.

San Francisco, Nov. 14.-Whether
the highest vote for Republican
elector in California was greater
than the lowest vote for Democratic
elector was about the only question
of interest to California politicians
tonight. If this should prove to be
the case the States delegation in the
electoral college may be split. The
Republicans admittedly unearthed
nothing in the course of the day to
indicate for or against such a pros
pect.
Sidney NJ. Van Wyek, Jr., chair
man of the Democratic campaign
committee, worked all day bringing
in reports from little counties in the
mountains, and also succeeded in get
ting one or two fair sized counties.
His total for twenty counties showed
that the totals for the lowest Demo
cratic elector in each county added
6.466 more than the totals for the
highest Republican elector in the
same counties. This count would
show, when completed, the Wilson
electoral vote at it's lowest ebb, Van
Wyck said.
Both Sides Surprised.
Republicans and Democrats alike
manifested surprise at rumors, t12ce-
able in all cases to the East, that a
considerable error had been found
somewhere in the State counting the
votes.
"The mistake as reported would
have to be in San Francisco, Alame-
da, or Los Angeles counties" said
Mr.. Van Wyck. $50 far as we have
been able to learn it does not exist
The final count will show no material
change"
Reports from Republican head
quarters were similar.

A Story With a Moral.

I know of a good man, a tenant
farmer, who has lived for years and
years upon the same farm. He is in
dustrious, laW-abiding, and intensely
religious. He is not exactly illiterate,
but lacks the provident foresight that
intelligence allows.
In 1900 the foreign land company
that owned his farm wanted to close
out their business in Georgia. They
offered to sell the land upon a ten
year loan at per cent. This mans
boys and neighbors begged and plead
ed with him to buy this 150-acre farm
upon these comfortable terms. They
hardly got his attention at all.
A Macon business man bought it.
He took the money out of his own
pocket to make the first payment,
one-tenth of the purchase price. The
money for the other nine payments
he simply took out of the rent money
of thfs tenant farmer. Just month
or so ago the purchaser made the
last payment and now owns the land
which this tenant has paid for The
tenant paid for the land but the
other man owns it.
This happens to be bit of history
but it is the history of ten thousand
times ten thousand other similar in
stances in the SOUTHPORT. E. G..
