New York, Nov. 9.-Henry Morgen-
tbau, in charge of the democratic head
quarters this morning, in the absence
Of Chairman Mccormick. said re-
count would be demanded for the vote
in New Hampshire. This. he said.
would be done in spite of the figures
received this morning showing that
Wilson had lead of few votes. He
added that the democratic figures
showed the Wilson lead was 500 votes
and that in view Of the complex situ-
event would be necessary.
Chairman Mccormick, on his return,
said:
It's all over. We have cleaned them
UP. We stick unflinchingly to our orig
inal figures. Wilson by 2SS electoral
votes"
Mr.. Mccormick added every precau-
tion was being taken to protect the
ballot boxes.
Managers Stand by Claims.
Meanwhile it was indicated at Doth
Headquarters that in states where the
vote was close a recount would be
demanded Both sides again announc-
ed they were taking precautions 70
guard the ballot boxes.
Mr.. Mccormick reiterated his claim
that President Wilson would be re-
elected with 2Ss electoral votes, TWEEN
ty-two more than enough to bring MN
to victory. Mr.. Mccormick claimed
North Dakota, California, New Mexico
and New HAMPSHIRE, and insisted the
democrats mad a good chance to win
Minnesota. Z
Mr. Wilcox said he stood by his
statement of last night that Hughes
would get $50 electoral votes. =
Charles f. Warren republican ma
tional committeeman from Michigan.
declared that Oregon and West Vir-
ginia were safely for Hughes, and that
the outcome depended on Minnesota.
California, North Dakota, New Mexico
and New Hampshire. In the last four
states named, he said, the official
count will be necessary to determine
the result.
Congress in Doubt.
Returns on the election for members
Of congress received up to l o'clock to"
day showed 212 democrats and 203 re-
publicans elected with sixteen dis
tricts yet to be accounted for.
Seven of these sixteen districts are
democratic in the present congress and
nine are republicans. Should each re-
tain it's present affiliation, the count
would stand, democrats, 219; repubi-
cans, 212.
Republican Chairman Claims State.
Philip A. Faulkner. chairman of the
republican state committee, has issued
the following statement
"The claim that the state has gone
for Wilson is unsubstantiated by re-
turns. Fully forty township clerks
have rendered no official returns of the
vote, but the figures we have indicate
that Hughes had carried New Hamp-
shire by about 100 plurality. We do not
concede New Hampshire to the demo-
Gratis. and we are prepared to substan-
tiate our claims of republican victory
before any competent tribunal"

President Wilson & Confident,

President Wilson 10 Confident.
Long Branch, N. J., Nov. S.-Presi-
dent Wilson arose early to hear again
that the outcome,of Tuesdays election
was not yet certain: He planned to
motor today.
Mr.. Wilson's first question had to do
with California, Minnesota, New Mex
leo and North Dakota, the states, he
was told last night, on which the result
largely hinged. When Informed that
definite word had not been received he
realized that he would have to wait
longer for the final outcome.
The president was in q chereful
mood ana believed the result event.
ually would favor him.
Tumulty Optimistic.
At noon Secretary Tumulty got into
communication with the democratic
headquarters at New York and Chica-
go and received official news which led
the officials here to express more con-
fidence than at any time since election.
1T was reported that California prob
ably would give Wilson from 5000 to
5000 majority. Optimistic reports al
so were received from New Mexico and
New Hampshire was definitely claimed
here for the president.
Former Senator Watson. democratic
chairman Of West Virginia, sent word
that that state was sure for Wilson.
From Chicago came word that the
Hughes lead In Indiana was rapidly
growing smaller.

The RssuIt ruesday.

The people of Vermont have spoken.
They are emphatically in favor Of
local option - opposed to Statewide
prohibition.
They believe home rule for the indi-
vidual communities. They believe that
the present local option law has made
the State cleaner than ever before.
They believe that the annual agitation
on the question Of banishing the sa-
looms from each town and city once q
year is q valuable temperance lesson
They believe in temperance, and they
believe in gaining it through the use
OF the local option law.
The State as Q whole. which gave .
majority of only 1901 for local option
in 1908, yesterday stamped its seal Of
approval on that form OF control Of
the liquor traffic by . majority OF 49,
CSC. Orleans was the only county in
the State that gave majority for the
Perry measure. Windham county,
which turned down local option by 1874
votes in 1908, yesterday voted against
Statewide prohibition by q majority of
1879. 50
The chanse Of sentiment, brought
about by 10 years OF observation Of
the workingsSof the local option law,
is one OF the most amazing results In
the history of Vermont,
The most gratifying feature sf tts

whole situation is that ,ne people
could swat Statewide prohibition with
one hand. and give the open saloons .
solar plexus blow with the other hand.
Was there ever q better Illustration
OF the fact that the common-sense of
the common people i. s pretty good
thing to rely on? There certainly
never was a better one here in our
home community. Whatever their
previous convictions or prejudicies
about the control Of the liquor evil.
the people OF Windham county towns
have found out since 1903 that u local
option law honestly enforced. with
public sentiment back of 1t, delivers
the goods" And once convinced OF
this. no fervid oratory. or emotional
appeals or whirlwind campaigning, or
preachments OF any kind, could carry

Required for Health and Beauty

It is surprising that it is necessary
to repeat again and again that the
health and beauty OF the skin require
that the blood shall be pure. If the
arteries OF the skin receive impure
blood, pimples and blotches appear,
and the individual suffers from hum
ors. Powders and other external APP
plications are sometimes used for
these affections, but will never have
the desired effect while the causes Of
impure blood remain.
The indications are very clear that
Hoods Sarsaparilla is the most sue
cessful medicine for purifying the
blood, removing pimples and blotches,
and giving health and beauty to the
skin. 1t gives tone to all the organs
and builds UP the whole system. In
sist on having Hoods Sarsaparilla
when you ask for it. Don't take any
thing else.

until 1880 a. m. destroyed the Hudgens
block, resulting in a loss of $4,000.
The Empire Mercantile company, C..

postoffice and the Buford- Griffin drug
store were destroyed.
w. w. Griffin fell from a ladder
while lighting the flames and suffered
a broken arm.
The fire was under control at 1880
o'clock. The origin is unknown.
Fire was discovered in the grocery
store Of the Empire Mercantile COM
pany, owned by Hudgens & Ragsdale
OF Pelzer. 1t spread quickly to the
other buildings, as no adequate de-
tense was at hand to arrest the prog
ress Of the flames. The town has no
waterworks and the fire gained such
rapid headway as to render the efforts
Of the bucket brigade ineffective. A
heavy rain saved other buildings in
jeopardy.
'The fire Is supposed to have started
on the floor above the Empire COM

occupied by offices of DR.. Webb a

posts.
Clemson College, Feb. 21.-The
outlook for the commercial develop
ment of lime and mari deposits in
South Carolina is not good, accord
ing to a survey Of the deposits in
this State made by DR.. F. H. H. CAL
houn. professor of geology and min
eralogy at Clemson College. This
investigation was undertaken by the
college in response to a demand for
information on the subject.
The results Of the survey are pub
lished in, Bulletin 1873 of the South
Carolina Experiment Station. Lime
stone and Mari Deposits of South
Carolina" and may be had by any
one interested upon application to
the Experiment Station at Clemson
College.
DR.. Calhoun investigated a large
number of limestone deposits in the
Piedmont region and mari deposits
in the Coastal Plain region, and
found very few deposits of either
kind that appeared likely to prove
profitable if developed commercially.
The unfavorable factors are distance
from railroad, low quality, and
great thickness of 'overburden" to
be removed. His recommendation
are as follows:
First, before the State or any
company undertakes to quarry lime
stone or mari at any of the locali-
ties suggested, a careful and detailed
examination. should be naade..s The
extent and thickness Of tire deposit
should be determined by sinking pits
or obtaining diamond drill cores. A
careful analysts should be n1ade OF
samples obtained at different points
Second. careful inquiry should
be made into the cost Of installing
the necessary machinery, and Of all
necessary overhead. expenses. The
mari or limestone in sight may not
Justify the expenditure OF any large
amount of money for it's extraction
