Gov. EllerDe Votes Against
Capt. Taylor's Plan.

There is no longer a deadlock in
the State phosphate commission in the
matter of granting the request Of the
citizens of Beaufort in behalf Ct the
further reduction of the phosphate
royalty in order to keep the Coosaw
company from ceasing operations yet
awhile. Governor Ellerbe yesterday
cast his ballot in the vote ON Mr.
Taylor's proposition in regard to the
reduction of 25 cents per ton to ap-
ply to all rocks already on hand, aud
thereby the matter is left exactly
where the commission left it upon the
occasion of its recent meeting in
Beaufort.
The Coosaw company, which seems
to be the only company raising any
protest of consequence about the
action of the board, will probably
carry out its threat to go out of bust
ness
Governor EEerbe yesterday ex-
planned his position very clearly he
said that he had voted against Mr.
Taylo1's resolutions as matter of
course He had seen nothing in the
arguments presented by the Beaufort
committee of citizens to cause him to
change his opinion. He couldn't see
his way clear to give away about
Sl2, 900 of the States money in this
manner, particularly when Coosaw
would get about $4,000 of it. He
could not see now the State could
give this much money simply to keep
Coosaw in business for one year /; that
was all the guarantee the company
gave the State that it would continue
after it had sold its rock He felt
quite sure shst, while it would work
a hardship on s,me to have Coosaw
go out of business, it would not be
on account of lack of concessions on
the part of the State. Other com
panies seemed 10 be satisfied with
the reduction made by the Com
mission. Mr. Folsom of the Beaufort
Mining company had written letter
expressing the satisfaction of that
company Coosaw seemed to think
that the board was discriminating
against them The other companies
had sold off their rock mined during
the year, while Coosaw had held its
production III Coosaw was strong
enough company, said the governor,
to hold back it's production while its
competitors had to sell at sacrifice
prices. he for one could not possibly
see where the discrimination against
Coosw company came in. 1t was
simply keeping Coosaw on a footing
with the other companies He
intimated that if there were any
Determinations at all the boot would
be on the other foot, if Captain Walk
er's plan had been adopted.
State Phosphate Inspector Jones,
who has been here for several days
waiting the result of the meeting,
leaves this morning for Beaufort
When he next comes TO Columbia he
will be in a position to give good
review of the situation in the phos.
