A KnoltY Question.


The Columbia Register says a very
interesting and important question in
reference to new counties has arisen
by reason of the fact that some of the
new county schemes will clash as t. the
territory wanted, and even should the
election be ordered on different days
or on the same day, it is our .tionable
how the qualified electors shall vote.
The subject came up in reference to
the formation OF Dorchester and Eds
to counties. Both will have to take a
a slice off of Colleton in order to get
the necessary area. It 30 happers
that Edisto and Dorchester want a
Fart of the same township of Cole
ton. The two thirds majority of the
qualified voters of that perticuls-
township may want to 60 in Dorcher-
ter or Edisto, or even remain ss they
are. Now if an election is ordered for
Dorchester, for instance, how will
the people in that tow nship who want
to 20 to Edisto or remain in the old
county express their willie They mus!
either vote for Dorchester or against
it, and under The circumstances Meth
er might suit them. If the election
for Dorchester and Edisto was order.
ed for the same day, would man Es
entitled to two votes, provided there
were two boxes, one for or against
Dorchester or one for or against Eds
to, as his interest might dictste9 Or
if he wanted to vote against both, how
is he going 10 do it? These knotty
questions have been submitted to the
Attorney General. aud he and the AS
sistant Attorney General will have to
unravel them before any elections are
ordered. Whatever scheme may tc
decided on by the Attorney General, it
appears that it is jmr ossible to prevent
the formation of any new county IN
der the circumstances as stated.
Though the formation of euother
county may bs desirable TO the major
lily of the qualified electors, it can be
easily seen how a single township can
defeat any scheme when that tow il
ship is wante I by both new couutle7.
Edisto County proposes tl have
Branchville asthe county seat, and il
includes IN lis territory portions CT
Oraugeburg, BarnHell and Colleton

Garry Talks Straight.

RALEIGH, N. c., Nov. 19.-Dr. J. L.
M. Curry, ex-Minister to Spain and
trustee of the Peabody and Slater
funds. made an address day before
the colore1 students OF Shaw Upiver-
sity here, in which he ussd this rather
startling language:
ST don't believe much in the idea OF
having the United States flag over our
schools. I'd like to know what the
United States government has done
for our public schools in North Caro-,
lima to demand that the flag should
hang over them. It never gave cent
to North Carolina schc DIS except to the
academy and music colleges. 1t js a
deception aud fraud to put the flag
there. 1t is the State that gives you
education.
Speaking OF the negro he said:
81 never could understand why the
negro population remains so compact
in the s South, INSTEAD of becoming
scattered all over the Union. The
Northern men freed the negro. Why
is it the negro does not 60 North to be
with his friends, instead OF staYlng IN
the South among his enemies.
AS to suffrage, DR.. Curry sald:
81 don't believe man who cannot
read his ballot ought to be allowed to
put it in the box. (Applause among
the negro Students.)

As a matter of fact, Mr.. Hanna's

at its disposal, if rer )rts OF R,publi-

Chairman Hanna. who is intensely
practical, s1d hes frequently said That
he conducted the Mckinley campaign
as he would a business, sugges seC that
as: ,ssments be levied upon States. The
agents in the various Statcs were ! l.
situcted to divide prospective r'ntrl'
butors into classes. In this way per-
feet system of taxation was secured.
The institutions asked for cortribu,
tions were rational bap'Ss, State bar KS,

UauleS l,Ooo,ooo
In considering these Isis it must be
recalled that the SIaies contributed
through some trusted az ents, and that
the firms mentioned actc1 &c collec ct
ing agencieI for Mr.. Hanna.
There is some controversy es to the
Vanderbilt contributions. One au-
thority says William K. Vanderbilt
gave S15O,0OO, and Treasurer Bill" de.
MED the statement, but it is gener@ 'ly
accepted the family gave the sum
credited, $250,0Co.
Relative to Conue cticut, ex-Gover-
nor Morgan G.. Burkeley declared,
prior>to Inc election, that he had OBJ
tanned the million dollars he was ex.
peeled II collect. His statement was
printed in Come .icut newspaE .rs at
the time.
New Jersey gave libera'ly and did
it through Garret A. Hobart, who, as
member of the Coal Trust, had un-
usual facilities for securing contribu-
tons.
Pennsylvania had for its collecting
agents such succec ,iul managers as
Senator Quay, Andrew Carnegie and
Fl. @. Frlck. The venerable Coils Z.
Huntington acted for many of the
Western States, while Mr.. Hanna
himself looked out for Ohio, and
Henry Cab ot Lodge for Me"sachusetts
and the rest of New England.
The immense sum thus colle ,tt ! hes
not all been expended. The,s is a
surplus OF about S2,O00.0O0. It is 3D.:
cause OF this surplus that the National
Committee continues in permanent
headquarters with an expensive staff.
It is the first National Committee that
ever wound up the campaign with
something left over, and for the rea-
son that there WIS no way to spend 1t
all.
Aside from the innumerable exDen-
ses of the two headquarters and the
regular campo;sl work throughout
the country, it is notorious that in
Illinois, Indiana, Michigan, the Dako-
tas, Missouri, Nebraska and Iowa the
sum of SIS, 600 was given for special
work in each Congressional D'str.ct.
