GREAT DEMOCRATIC VICTORY SWEEPS THE COUNTRY
DEMOCRATS GAIN CONTROL OF HOUSE AND PROBABLY THE SENATE.
Only One Shadow on the Political Horizion:
Tennessee Goes Republican to Save
State from Patterson Mis-rule.
For the first time since the lamented Charles Frederick
Crisp, our distinguished Georgia statesman, Avas speakei of
the 52nd and 53rd Congress in 1892 and 1893 the Demo
crats will again control the house. In all probability they
will gain control of the Senate also and elect a Democratic
President in 1912, placing the complete machinery of the
government in the hands of the Democrats. If the Senate
should remain Republican, of course they will block what
ever remedial legislation the Democrats mayVtTer. How
ever, if the Democrats will use good judgement; steer shy
of extreme radicalism, Bryaaism, and the like, they will m
' all probability elect the President in 1912. Below is a
summary of the election:
Democrats will control the house of representatives by a
majority of 43. „ ,
Democratic governors elected in New York, Massachu
setts, Ohio, Connecticut, and New Jersey, normally Repub
lican strongholds. Republican governor, Captain Ben
Hooper, elected in Tennessee through a combination of Re
publican and anti-Patterson Democratic voters.
Ohio, Indiana, and New York will have Democratic
legislatures, and Senators, Dick, Beveridge, and Depew will
he succeeded by Democrats.
West Virginia elected Democratic legislature and will
name a successor to Senator Scott, Republican. _
For the first time in the history of the nation a Social
ist has been elected to congress.
Uncle Joe Cannon will retire from the speakership of
the house. . '
Representative Champ Clark, of Missouri, a Democrat,
probably will be the next speaker. '
Democrats declare the election a rebuke to the Republicans
for the Aldrich- Payne tariff law and to Theodore Roosevelt
for his doctrine of new nationalism.
Record vote polled by Socialists in many states.
Senator Lodge may fail of re-election, because of Demo
cratic gains in Massachusetts legislature and the election of
Republicans unpledged to vote for him.
For the first time women- took a prominent part in a
national election, working at the polls in New York and
elsewhere. In Oklahoma women’s suffrage was voted on
and turned down.
Robert P. Bass, Republican, was elected governor of
New Hampshire by a plurality estimated at G,OOO.
John K. Tener, Republican, elected governor of Penn
sylvania with a plurality estimated at about 20,000—a low
figure in Pennsylvania.
Republicans claimed the re-election of Gevernor Potli-
Rhode Island, although the size of bis plurality was
■doubt.
[ Woodrow Wilson, Democrat, was elected governor of
|pw Jersey by the huge majority of 44,000.
Insurgents were victorious in the West, but only by a
narrow margin.
Chester Aldrich, Republican, defeated James Dahl
man, Democrat, for governor of Nebraska.
John A. Dix, Democrat, was elected governor of New

Attempt to Wreck
Southern Train
An attempt to wreck Southern
Railway train was made Sunday
night, Nov. 6th, by some unknown
party placing two cross ties and a
fence rail across the track about
one and one lialf miles north of
Cochran near the Forehand place,
it seems they were placed there late
in the afternoon, and an extra
freight train ran into them prior to
the arrival of the “Joe Brown.’
The freight trrin was not derailed,
and the abstractions were again
placed on the track for the ‘ Joe
Brown.” It is probable that the
freight crew notified them and they
were on the lookout, as no damage
wos done.
No clue has been found as to the
perpetrators.
Return of the Favorites
Coburn’s Greater Minstrel:? will
fill a spare date at Cochran Opera
House, Saturday, Nov. 12th.
Theatre-goers will remember the
hit this famous organization made
last season and will welcome its re
turn with the New Company. New
scenery and new acts, in fact an
entire new show, and will go direct
from here to Grand Opera House at
Macon. The Greenville (S. C.)
Daily Piedmont, in criticising the
above company, says in part:
“Coburn’s Minstrels at the Grand
Saturday matinee and night pleased
a large and enthusiastic audience.
The show this season is by far the
best Manager Coburn has ever put
out. There is plenty of ginger from
start to finish and there is not a
dull moment during the whole per
formance. The bass solo of Boh
Hockctt was one of the features of
the show, as Mr. Ilockett possesses
oqe of the best bass voices that has
ever been heard in Greenville. Mr.
Lively in his act of flexibility de
serves special mention. The sing
ing and dancing this season is far
above the average. Messrs. Black
well and Dußoss made a big hit in
their novelty dancing and singing
act:' The quartet that Mr. Coburn
is carrying this season is exception
ally good, and every song rendered
by the quartet boys was thoroughly
enjoyed and they were encored time
and again. Mr. Hayes in his mu
sical act was one of the features of
the show; for this act was by far
the best of its kind ever seen on this
stage. Last, but by no means least,
was the great marionatte act put on
by the Manteils. This act brought
forth much applause, and manager
Coburn is to be congratulated for
giving to the public an act of this
kind.
A Boy’s Opinion
of an Editor
A little boy in town was given
the stunt by his father to write an
essay on editors and here is the re
sult as printed by an exchange:
“I don’t know how newspapers
came to he in the world. I. don’t
think God does, he hasn’t got any
thing to say about them in the Bi
ble. I think the editor is one of
the missing links you read of and
stayed in the bushes till after the
flood and then come out and wrote
the thing up that has been here ev
er since. I don’t think ho ever
died. I never saw a dead one, and
never heard of one getting licked.
Our paper is a good one hut the ed
itor goes without underclothes all
winter and don’t wear any socks
and pa>v has not paid any subscrip
tion price since the paper started.
V asked paw if that is why the edi
tor had to suck the juice out of
the snow balls every winter and go
to bed when lie has his shirt washed
in summer time and paw took me
out in the wood shed and licked me
awfully hard.
“If the editor makes a mistake
folks think lie ought to be hung. If
a doctor makes a mistake he hurries
them and people dassant say noth
in’ cause doctors can read and write
Latin. When the editor makes a
mistake there is a lawsuit and a big
fuss, but if the doctor makes one
there is a big funeral, cut flowers
and perfect silence. A doctor can
use a word a mile long'witliout him
or anyone else knowing what it
means, but if the editor uses one lie
has to spell it. If a doctor calls on
another man’s wife he charges for a
visit, but if the editor goes he gets
a charge of buckshot. When a
doctor gets drunk,.its a case of get
overcome with heat and if he dies
its heart trouble. When an editor
is drank its a case of too much
booze and if he dies a case of jim
jams. Any old college man can
make a doctor, but an editor has
to bo liorn.” —Ex.
