SOME of the Democratic statesmen
are indicating a disposition now to
undo some of the blunders of the last
session of Congress by taking favora
BILE action this Winter on the admis.
sion of some of the territories. Quite
like them, they do not propose this as
an act of justice, but as a matter OF
policy. 1t is said by them that if a
Democratic House votes to admit
North Dakota it may in gratitude be.
come a Democratic state, aud as it
viii be admitted anyway by the next
Congress, they propose that the step
shall be taken. This doesn't strike
them as at all ludicrous, but it will
prove highly amusing to everybody
else as evidence of Democratic states.

The Electoral Count.

The law regulating the manner ia
which the Electoral College shall
vote, and in which the result shall be
forwarded to Congress aud announced
before the formal court in the House
of Representatives, has been changed
since the last Presidential election.
Chairman Quay with his customary
foresight has already notified the va.
rious Republican State Committees of
the changes, and it lie not probable
that any mistakes will be made.
The old law provided that the
electors should vote on the first
Wednesday in December folio wing the
Presidential election. By the act of
February 8, 1887, the time was
changed to the second Monday in
January. The electoral votes are to
be counted In Congress on the second
Wednesday in February, and in order
to insure the delivery Of the certifi-
Gates to the President of the Senate ia
time for this ceremony, the act of
October 10, 1883, provides that they
shall be forwarded forthwith after
the second Monday in January, and
that the Secretary of the State shall
send messenger for copies of what.
ever certificates have not been re.
ceived by the fourth Monday in Jan.
uary. The messenger applies to the
United States District Judge, with
whom a copy of the certificate must
be filed.
The Governors of the States have
also something to do in the premises.
As soon as practicable after the ap.
pointment of Electors the Governor
must communicate, under the seal of
the State, to the Secretary of the
State of the United States, a certif.
cate setting forth the names of the
electors and the number of votes cast
for each elector. A copy of the Ger.
tifcates in triplicate is also to be sent
to the Elector by The Governor, on or
before the day they meet to cast their
votes. These certificates are to be
sent by the electors, with that of their
vote for President and Vice President
two to the President of the Senate
one by message and one by mail, and
to the District Judge. 1t is also the
duty of the Governor to transmit to
the Secretary of the State certificate
of the determination OF any contest
that may arise concerning the election
of Electors. All these certificates are
TO be published in full in newspaper
selected by the Secretary of State, and
copies Of them are to be transmitted
to the Two houses of Congress at its
first meeting after the election.

Cambria third, with 1897, and Potter

Thurman's friendships.

Judge Nash, formerly of the Supreme

Their Latin Mills. of this city. The home
of Nash is Columbus, in sight of the
house of Allen G. Thurman. Differing
politically, always, there is q friend
| ship between the two that makes them
neighbors.
1--WE all like Allen G, Thurman"
said Judge Nash yesterday. pit is the
domesticity of the man which endears
him to the people of Columbus. You
people like him as a Democrat some

these and something more. We know
him as q neighbor. His home is as
perfect as such n thing can be. You
know, of course, that he is more than
three score and ten in years. Mrs.
Thurman, | believe is just a trifle his
senior. Their lives are in perfect ac-
@rd, and the simplicity of their
her toward n another is n of the
prettiest pictures l ever saw. To her
he is always "Allen"-no matter who
is present or what the occasion may be.
To him she is always Mary" If he
was the President of the United States
it would be just the same. Mrs. Thur
mans home is her delight. think if
she had had her way about it he would
never have been u candidate again.
She is devoted to her children and
grandchildren, but when she has to
come in contact with che people she
can do it with as much queenlinessNas
any woman in the country.
II suppose you may know that Judge
Thurman has many friends in the
South. | remember some years ago |
had occasion to visit Galveston, Texas,
and Judge Thurman gave nfe q letter
unsolicited to a prominent citizen there.
He said if didn't find the gentleman
that | could use the letter as an open

gentleman to whom the letter was ad
dressed and did present it to another
who rendered me very valuable assist

to pay for the service. The mar re-
piled: No sir any man who comes to
this part of the country with such n

which Allen G. Thurman has made all

A Just Claim.
B. R. Capital Item.

B.. r. Capital Item.
Last week the Item alluded briefly
to the fact that during the latee-nigil
war the capitol of the State was de-
stroyed 10y fire while occupied by Fed
eral soldiery.
Upon that fact was based the sug
gestion that the State should, through
her Senators and Representatives in
Congress, appeal to the generosity of
the General Government for remuner-
alton for the loss thfss sustained through
the carelessness aH neglect of the Of
icers of that GOVERNMENT in power
here at that time.
That the claim is IL Just one there is
no doubt, an1ln % conversation with
the editor of this paper, Hon. S. M.
Robertson, before he left for Washing
ton last week, stated that u bill would
be prepared and presented to Congress
by him to reimburse the State for the
heavy outlay that was entailed by the
destruction of the building.
Col. Robertson also assured us that
he would use his best endeavors in be-
half of the measure and believed there
was a good chance to get it passed.
There are good reasons to believe
the government would have given the
claim favorable attention long ago had
any one taken it in hand and presented
the facts in their proper shape before
Congress.

The Bagging Question.
Special to The Times-D Democrat.

opeclai 10 Inc 1lheS-DeHnocEdts
Columbia, Sept. Capt. j. A. Pc
terkin, a large cotton planter of Fort
Mott, near this city, has, he thinks,
solved the problem that has been agi:
tating cotton planters since the formaS
ton of the trust. He has ordered ex-
~tensive machinery for the purpose OF
making wood bagging for cotton, to
take the place of jute.
The bagging can be made of sweet
gum or any swamp wood, and will be
of veneer, one-eighth of an inch thick.
When this is used the cotton will be
thoroughly boxed and not liable to
catch.fire The stuff can be taken from
the log and will not injure cotton.
He will be able to make 100000 feet
a day and furnish it at five cents per
yard. He predicts that in a short time
every one who owns q gin will be able
to cut his own bagging at a small cost.

The rainfall was local in character and
was favorable except in a few of the
eastern and southeastern parishes
where it was too heavy within the past
few days. The temperature was about
