forged ahead in that State.
Throughout the day the man
ayers of both candidates had
claimed victory as certain and
there was no concession by eth
er side.
In New Hampshire, which the
Republicans on the face of the
returns carried by 161 votes, the
Democrats will ask a recount.
In West Virginia. the Republi-
can candidate seems to have a
lead which will pull him through.
Washington, Idaho and Nebras-
ka, on incomplete returns, all
give pluralities to Wilson which
seemed to point to their being
finally returned as Democratic
States.
The sudden change in the stat
us of the election, which early
Tuesday night had assumed
something of the proportions of
a Republican landslide, was due
t othe great strength of the Dem
ocrats in the West and on the
Pacific slope. At present, the
election seems to be in doubt be-
yond the point of prediction.
California this morning show
ed a lead for the president and
his campaign managers were
claiming it by at least $4,000.
The presidents majority there
was a little more than 1000 with
about one-fifth of the districts
missing.
In Minnesota the Wilson lead,
which was as high as 10000
early in the day, steadily de-
creased as the vote Of the rural
districts came in. During the
evening Hughes took the lead
with a small margin and then
the president shot ahead again,
but with less than a thousand
votes. The Republican man.

The engineering corps has had in
charge the securing of rights Of way,
and fully 95 per cent of the rights of
way are already in hand. In a few
instances there has been a lack of CO.
operation, and such instances are
likely to work greatly to the disad-
vantage of the line of survey on
which they occur. This road is a
peoples road. 1t is to be built by
the people of Spartanburg, Union and
'Laurens counties if it is to be built
at all. Hence, any lack of coopera-
tion of the people on the line in any
part of the line is not only discour-
agement to the development as a
whole, but will also likely injhre the
community in which the opposition
develops by diverting the line from
that community into some other.
The line will no doubt be located
where the largest cooperation is de-
veioped, for in nearly all cases the
competitive surveys are pretty we'll
balanced as regards cost of construc-
ton and cost Of operation. Hence, it
will be largely question Of the de-
gree Of cooperation afforded by the
people along given line as to wheth-
er the railroad will be built along that
line or not. BY cooperation is meant
free rights Of way, fee town sites, ex-
tensive subscriptions to capital stock,
etc.
1t becomes more and more clear
that the people of the three counties
are going to build the line, but it is
not certain along what line of suryey
it will be built. Hence, it will be
greatly to the interest of the people
on or near any Of the lines of survey
to put forth their EXTREMIST enedeavor
TO give the heartiest possible coopsra-
tion to those who have the matter in
charge; that is, if they care to con-
verse their own interests, as we'll as
advance the interest of their county.
The subscriptions made to the ex-
penses of survey and the initial ex-
penses Of organization have only been
paid in in part. There remains to be
collected considerable sums in Spar
tanburg, Union, Glenn Springs. Cedar
Springs, Cross Anchor, Walnut Grove.
West Springs and Laurens. Only two
points have paid their. subscriptions
complete, Tylersville and Clinton.
The funds in hand will pay the
expenses of the engineering corps for
about one month further. Hence. it
is extremely desirable that the boards
OF trade and public spirited citizens in
the above mentioned communities
which are still short on their collec-
hons get busy at once and collect up
Tue entire volume Of funds subscribed,
placing same to the credit of the Car
DINA Rapid Transit Company Board
OF Corporators. 1t is likely that the
engineering and commercial reports
viii be published for free distribution

Chairman Jacobs Writes Inter-
esfing Article Showing Pres
emf Status of Enferpise-Of
Great Interest to the People
of Union.

Mr.. Reid Tull, chief engineer of the
Carolina Rapid Transit Company, has
just finished the field work i'm the
survey, and begins the office work in
the preparation of the engineering
report, collection of commercial data,
etc., this week. Two lines and in
some cases three lines have been run,
with a view to the final adoption of
the most feasible route, measured in
the light Of the cost of construction,
cost of operation, the mileage and the
degree of cooperation given by the
people on the competing lines, the plan
being to connect Spartanburg, Union,
Laurens and Clinton by a rapid cleo
trio transit system for freight and
passengers.
Mr.. Tull advises that the cost Of
this line fully equipped, built in an
Al manner with maximum grade of
per cent and maximum curvature of
degrees, heavy rail, heavy overhead
construction, first class, 60 feet ex-
press cars and heavy electric engines
for the freight service will be about
$50,00O.00 per mile. The mileage is
about 62 miles, so that the actual cost
of construction and equipment will be
upwards of $4,000, 100000, exclusive Of
any possible power development which
may be involved in the proposition.
Mr.. Tull is much pleased with the
character of the country traversed
and with the volume of business evil
IDENTIFY to be had for such title. The
actual facts and figures of the cost
of operation, cost of construction,
likely income, gross and net, will not
develop until engineering and COM
n1ercial reports are complete. The
I; ;(6r1 MI ba done very thoroughly.

FOX'S SHOWS LOCAL
 PICTURES FIRST

Working all Saturday night and
 Sunday and up until Il o'clock a. m. y yesterday the Fox Film corporation was able, by sending a special mes- senger from New York to deliver the
 local pictures taken by their camer man on Saturday, to Manager Melar- key yesterday afternoon in time for showing at the matinee performance. This is record breaking feat for any thing Of this nature, it is claimed. The pictures were greeted by capacity audiences, both afternoon and even ing, and the local favorites were given loud applause as they appeared on the screen. Among those features" were: Mayor A. Quigley, the board of pubic safety, including Clerk Magneu;
 ponce and fire departments, both in
 parade and under inspecton; a re- sponse to an alarm by the horse drawn
 ana automobile fire apparatus; close
 Up VleWs of Chief Dame and Chief Rawlings; Boy Scouts parade Stanley Works and views of the crowd a1one 1 the line of march. The pictures are clear, persons being readily distin- guished from all parts of the ho,,sa and the titles legible and long enhueb | so that all could read them. The cam
 eraman who took the pictures is to be congratulated upon his success under the ehangeable weather condi- tons of Saturday.

"COMMON CLAY" WELL RECEIVED AT PARSONS
Thomas E. Shea and Catherine Tower
 Carry Off Honors in Clever
Drama.

For lines that strike out and land between the eyes; for situations that hold that arc impelling, dramatic; for utter surprises, comedy, tragedy, laughter, tears, Common Clay" which opened at Parsons theater, Hartford last night for a three day run wins the palm. It's first year out of New York should make for it great success on the road. There is everything to compel attention.
 kipling wrOte-"FOr the COlonel's Lady and Judith OGrady are sisters, under the skin.' He might have written more and said less. In three words, they are all common clay; the rich, the poor, the high, the low. They all possess the same womanly instincts at the outset. Common Clay'' shows all this in what starts out to be a com mon, ordinary drama but which before it gets well into the second act de- ports from all previous attempts and branches out on lines of it's own.
 Ellen Neal is girl who has ambi- tions, what though she is of 1owly birth. After departing from the straight and narrow path she seeks employment as maid in the wealthy Fullerton home. There, While dance is in progress she meets her betrayer a falls in love with her and in the next act the family lawyer is called upon for settlement. A complication fol- lows and the case is thrown in the police court where the big moment of the play happens. It would be fu- tile to attempt to tell the story in this short space, daring to approach what requires finished acting and proper setting to produce.
 And Common Clay" has the acting. If the name of Thomas F. Shea alone were mentioned no further proof of this assertion would be needed. MT. Shea, long known to another genera ton of players, needs no introduction That he departs from his regular work in no way detracts from his abiT- ity. He is as good in the part of tho amiable Judge Filson as he ever was in "Dr. Jekyl and MT. Hyde" although the characters can in no way be com pared. As prosecutor who discovers in the woman he condemns his own daughter, MT. Shea is on his mettle. Nor does he OverdO the scene, which could easily happen.
 Catherine Tower, as the pitiful FL len Neal, has many opportunities at emotional acting and makes the best of them. Her lines, for the most part filled with "punch", are made to score Tn a word, Miss Tower is well suited for her part in the play one by no means easily filled. Playing opposite her is George Triton, the wealthy son who afterwards rights all the wrong. AS his father, w. A. Whitecar, puts plenty of action in the part. Raymond Bramley. too, is good. Others in the cast are Charlotte Burkett, Edward Leahy, Pearl Ford, Frederick Going, James T. Cassady, J. Irving Southard, ! V. s. Grandin, Charles Barnett and 1 Tessie Lawrence.

HOUSE OF CLASS"
 AT LYCEUM TONIGHT

Cohan and Harris production of Max Marcin's powerful drama "The House of Glass; comes to the Lyceum tonight with Robert Middle mas in the cast. Much of the suc- cess that has come to this play is unquestiOnably due to the finished acting of the well balanced cast en- gagged in visualizing it's several roles
 That 'The House of Glass;" is one of the biggest plays seen on the New York stage in years is but to voice the opinion of everyone who sees it. The story it tells is so genuine, so human, so perfectly natural that it might be a page torn from real life. It has to do with Margaret Case, a poor stenographer about to marry a young man who turns out to be a thief. The girl is arrested as an ac- compl1ce; convicted, she serves one and half of her three-year term, is released on parole, which she breaks she goes West and is married to a railroad president. Her nemisis is an insistent detective who secured the original conviction. Through the de- tectlve the husband learns that his Wife is an ex-convict
 The House of Glass;" is an inn pfesslve' heart gripping play that runs the gamut of human emotion. Max Marcin, it's author. is also the author of See My Lawyer" and several other pieces of dramatic lit eFature. He is also a successful writer O. snort stories. One of the first of which The Practitioner" he ped pied about for weeks before some reader recognized in it signs of ta- lent. NOW he has the publisher and theatrical manager in pursuit of him.

Elastic Bands and Quarrels

For to be Wroth with one we love doth work like madness n the brain."
 Somehow or other we fell to talking about quarrels between married folks the other evening.
 Of course the woman whose hus- band never said 0 cross word to me- was represented. "I don't see what people quarrel about" she said. We never quarrel"
 The Never Said Across Word People
 One knows not whether to marvel CT doubt when people say that never Said-a-crOss- word sort of thing
 I once visited a woman who made that claim and her husband certain ly said some things that I should have called cross, And she folded her lips as much irritation and resentment as If she had spoken.
 Another member of our group said that she and her husband didn't real ly quarrel either. but she was honest enough to confess that it was merely because he shut up and refused to answer her when she got made. The Last Years Bride Loved Quarcls
 "I don't suppose you've had any quarrels yet" some one said, turning to the last years bride.
 "Yes, we have" she said, And I was just going to say I really love them"
 "Love them!" repeated the never spoke-a- cross word one in horror

Indoor Life Makes Fat
1 Try Oil of Korein to Keep Weight Down, or to Reduce Super 1 f1uOus Fat.

People who are confined within doors and who are deprived of fresh | irvigorating air and exercise must t.,ke prccaution to guard against over-stoutness, as fat acquired by in- door life is unhealthy and danger to the vital organs of the body. Lack of exercise in the fresh air is said to weaken the oxygen carrying power of the blood, so that it Is unable to pro- duce strong muscles and vitality and the formation of unsightly and un- healthy fat is the result.
 If you are 15 or 20 pounds above normal weight you are daily drawing on your reserve strength and are con- stantly lowering your vitality by ca irving this excess burden Any persons who are satisfied in their own mind that they are too stout are ad- .vised to go to the Clark and Brainerd Go. or any other good druggist and get a box of oil of korein capsules. and take one after each mean and one just before retiring at night.
 Even a few days treatment has been reported to show a noticeable reduction in weight, improved diges- ton and a return of the old energy; footsteps become lighter and the skin less f1abby in appearance as super fiuous fat disappears.
 Oil of korein is inexpensive, cannot injure, and helps the digestion Any person who wants to reduce 15 or 20 pounds is advised to give this treat ment & trial.

TENSE FILM DRAMA
 AT THE LYCEUM

"Where Are My Children?" will be seen at the Lyceum beginning We'd nesday afternoon.
 The lesson intended is conveyed quite clearly by the bare story of the film. Whether the allegories help at all in the production of the at mosphere desired is doubtful; but they are, it would seem traditional in pictures of this kind.
 Certain it is that there can be no quarrel with the treatment the film gives to its subject? There is not a trace of sensationalism; there is only enough story, to draw attention to the doctrine; which, by the way, is orthodox.
 The fate of this film will be de- cided by the answer to the old ques- ton, Has the screen sufficient pres tige to guarantee the good faith of its teaching when the teaching is of this particularly intimate kind?" The prejudice of ages is a strange thing.
 The Universal picture is clean, mod crate, forceful and interesting. It is well acted and well produced.
 The film world will watch the de- cision in it's case with interest. Seats now at Crowell's.
 Russian blouse dresses are made up of sheer silk crepe, pleated and fin ished with folds of serge.
