Commenting on the new members o1
the Board of Agriculture, the Columbla
correspondent Of the News and Courier
says:
"The election especially of the five
members of the agricultural board was
surprise al around. There can be nc
doubt that the economists were most
astonisbed at the result. Their candi'
dates, Aessrs. D. K. Norris for the State
at large, and Messrs. Bates, Tilmsn and
Sigh had been agreed upon before hand
The vote in the House on the Judges
salary bill seemed to indicate that they
had clear majority of 25 to 30 IN that
body, and the election of the economic
candidates was most confidently COT nted
upon. Mr.. Beam, who nominated B,
e. Tiilrnan for the 9th circuit, said thai
Mr.. - man was not q candidate for the
position, but that if the Legislature
elected him he was sure that be would
obey the call to duty.
"The votes for the economic candl
dates ranged from 26 for Sigh to 45 fol
Norris; Mr.. Tillman received 80. a
significant feature OF the election Was
! the vote of the Se,.&te. In that body
the Economic tick.. po:led 7 votes, and
the Conservative tlcke. -Gs G votes. -Four
Senators voted scratched tickets.
'It appears that there was also an at
tempt to run somebody in opposition tc
| Col. Lipscomb for superintendent of the
Penitentiary, but the movement appears
to have fallen through. 1t should be
mentioned that the use of the name Of
Col. D. F. Bradley, as the economic
candidate for that position, was unau
thorjzed by him. Col. Bradley called
on the News and Courier Bureau and
requested that this statement be made
public"
