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.

' 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.

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.
