The best and most satisfactory election re-
turns received in Orange last night were those
furnished by the Southwestern Telephone com

ered at the Holland hotel to hear the bulletins
loud in their praise of the splendid ser-
given by the telephone company, w ho sent

Judge John J. Ball, secretary of the Bryan
and Kern elub, last night sadly announced that
a special wireless message just received from
Houston stated that a thief had broken into the
barnyard of the Houston Post and the victory
chorus by its roosters'would not be rendered
this morning.

The Southwestern Telephone company made
a hit with the people of Orange last night with
its splendid election bulletin service. And the
best part of it was that the service was entirely
gratis. Local Manager Arline is to be congratu-
lated upon his enterprise.

A negro flagged a train on the East Texas
road yesterday, with his red undershirt, and
prevented wlmt might have been a most disas-
trous wreck. The passengers on the train were
so grateful to him for saving their lives that
they made up a purse of $4.80 and presented it
to him. That’s enough to buy another under
shirt and a few drinks, anyway.

Now, let’s everybody in Orange get busy and
work up a big interest in the Southeast Texas
;ir at Beaumont. There will be a large num-
ber of visitors there, among them many home-
seekers, and we ought to have an exhibit there
that will demonstrate to them that Orange
county affords an ideal location for industrial
or agricultural endeavor.

Early returns from the state indicate that a
heavy vote was polled in the country districts
against the educational amendment, while the
city vote was largely in its favor. The effect
of this amendment is to benefit the country
schools. Some folks don’t seem to know what
m
is tost for them.

Mayor Pt4er Pfeiffer, of Port Arthur, con-
vened court Monday morning, entered a charge
of disturbing the peace against himself, pro-
nounced the mayor guilty, fined him five dol-
lars, paid the fine and adjourned court. Now,
that’s the way to do business. The court must
have its grind, even though the mayor has to
furnish the grist. * I
A jiersoii who would deliberately maim a
dumb brute would not hesitate to murder his
mother or steal from his sick graud-mother—
or do any other low down, dirty trick. In fact,
be has touched the bottom in the scale of moral
depravity.
Here’s another man complaining about hard
work—and on election day, too. Editor Fryar
of the Beaumont Journal, says: “Writing a
column of paragraphs a day is a hard job any
wav you look at it, hot there is always some-
thing to fall back on. Pay your poll tax.”
If anybody thought Ilearst wielded no in-
fluence, they probably decided they had anoth-
er think coming when they read the returns
from New York. He started out to defeat Brvnn
and he successfully aeiximplished his ilcsirc.
Colonel Simpson now takes his place in the
“also ran” class, while Campbell again occu-
pies the Texas gubernatorial chair for the next
two years.
The most beantiful and effective speech of
the campaign was made by Bryan in his home
town the night before the election. That it was
effective was shown in the results there, Dr'van
overcoming a republican majority of 1600 and
carrying the city by several hundred votes.

A news item in the Beaumont Enterprise says
that Hon. Martin Dies, returning from New
York, stated that very had weather prevailed
there. It certainly was mighty had weather
for the democrats in that state yesterday.
1!
A man told us yesterday that if Bryan was
elected our printing machinery would rust for
want of something to do—and he had us mighty
badly scared, for he’s one of our good custo-
mers. Thank goodness, though, our mind has
been relieved now and we expect to keep doing
business at the same old stand.
The Daily Leader at ten o’clock last night
conceded the election of Taft and the signal
whistles that had lieen agreed upon were blown
by the big dredge accordingly. Somebody said
we were pikers because we wouldn't wait until
twelve o’clock to announce the result.
Old .Missouri redeemed herself and wheeled
back into the democratic column, after her de-
flection four years ago when her electoral votes
went to Roosevelt.
A woman who had lieen conducting a show
on the Midway in Alexandria that was closed
up by order of the city council, met one of the
aldermen of that city on a street ear and slapped
his face. That cost her twenty dollars more.
Lake Charles has "done herself proud” and
saved her public schools, the special school tax
having carried by a large majority in the elec-
tion in that city yesterday.
A headline in a morning pa|>er says: "Bryan
is disappointed in New York results.” So are
we. Somebody Ims been playing “Imss” up
there.
In the meantime, the big dredge is steadily
working away, filling up the low' places and
making Orange one of the most attractive cities
in Togas.
In the Real-Onion contest for the state sen-
ate in the San Antonio district, Ileal, the repub-
lican candidate, was elected. Onion was the
candidate of the brewery and liquor interests.
Taft carried New York by about 200,000
votes. Bryan carried Texas hv nliout 200,(100
votes.

We don’t feel good a little bit today. Bryan
has toen defeated arid the railroad has increased
the freight rate on new's stock from New Or-
leans 18 cents a hundred. We protest, but it
don ’t seem to do much good.
A bank ad. says: “If you have money you
sometimes have trouble. If you have none you
always have trouble.” Wonder if that's the
reason so few editors get into trouble.
Houston, Texas, Nov. 4.—The annual
carnival of tbe No-Tau-Oh Association
of Houston, Texas, tills year promises

The No-Tsu-Oh Carnival is not a
money making affair. The parades,

vide a fall amusement for the people
who visit this city, and Is arranged In

lesques and bright Illuminations, and
the town la one gala place, with fun

dom will be a feature of the marine

Newton. Mica., Nov. 4—W1U Hodges,
alias Frank Smith, a negro who mad"
an attempt at criminal assault on tbe
thirteen-year-old daughter of Edward
Butts, two miles south of Union, Sat-
urday, paid the penalty early Sunday
morning, when he was riddled with
bullets.
Before killing the negro he and
several other negroes on whom sus-
picion rested were taken to the young
girl for identification, and she waa
positive in ruing tbe crime on Hodges
As soon aa Identified he was taken a
short distance from the scene of the
crime and shot down.
The negro did not succeed in ac-
complishing his purpose, having been
frightened away by the girl's screams,
and the girl Is not seriously Injured
though finger prints were left on her
throat. It seems that the girl had
started to tbe field, where her father
and tome other members of the family
were picking cotton, to teii them that
dinner waa ready, and on her way
she bad to pass through a skirt at
woods some ZOO yards from home and
about a quarter of a mile from where
the cotton pickers were, it wnt In
this stretch of woods that she encotin
tered the negro, who was sitting by
the path and canght her as she passed
He grasped her throat and picked her
up, rat after doing this his hold loos
enet'i and she managed to scream,
frightened, the negro dropped his vic-
tim sad ran
Tbe cries of the girl were heard by
her elder sister. She wss carried to
the bouse and, after being revived,
told what had happened and gave a
description of the negro. A search
was Instituted at once for the fugitive
and he was found n few hours later

Shreveport, La, Nov, 4.—The Locke
anti-rice track gambling law had Its
first test is Louisiana at the open
lag of tbe State Fair here Monday
There waa not a large crowd la at
leads we, aad the grandstand was al-
most deserted except tor women end
children. In what has heretofore
been the betting ring and around the
front of the grnndeiand many rmce
| track enthusiasts gathered. Sot
were looking for opportunities to place
bets, while othere congregated out
of curiosity. No attempt was made to
open books on (he races.' bat there
were three or four of tbe old book-
makers on bsad ready for hus lucre on
tbe quiet. They used tbe handbook
system, made bets and did a fairly
good business. All the betting wsa of
a verbal nature and if nay ticket*
wars used, tbe fact was hot known.
Naturally, the Inconvenience of this
system of manual betting had a ten-
dency to discourage tbe crowd aad
the interest in the races was not
as keen aa has been the ease hereto-
fore,
ft is believed, however, that before
the end of the week matters will be
systematised to some extent and bel-
ting will increase. Today did not
serve aa a good criterion of what the
condition will be later In tbe week
when the ralr is In fullswing and in-
