The voters of the State will be
called upon to vote upon two pro-
posed amendments to the State Con-
s:itutiop, the nature of which will be
seen by reference to the notice of h7
State Election in this issue. We can
see no harm in voting for these pro-
posed amendments as it only gives
the people of the places directly con-
cerned in their passage an opportu-
nifty to decide whether or not they
will vote the tax upon themselves
necessary to obtain the relief sought.

The paramount duty OF every
South Carolina Democrat is to 60 to
the polls on the Oh Of November
and vote for the nominees OF the
party, National, State and county.
This duty is made essential to the
political, moral and financial interests
of the South in general and the State
in particular, in view Of the fact that
it is the evident intention Of the
Republican party, should it succeed
in controlling Congress, in Gripping
the South by reducing the represen'
tation in that body, giving coloring
for the intended crime by claiming
that more votes are polled in many a
Congressional District in the North
ern States than are polled IN the
entire State of South Carolina at
a general election. Our noble leader,
Senator B. r. Tillmap, warned the
people of the purpose Of the Repub-
lican party during the late State
campaign, and urged the Democrats
to turn out and vote in the general
election. Don't stay at home on the
day of election thinking that your
vote is not needed, for if there ever
was a time when it was needed that
time is now. We hope to see Lex
irgton county poll her full Demo
cratic strength on the 9Th Of Novem
Der, and it will be done if every
voter will but do his duty.

One Point Definitely Decided On by
the Ways and Means Com.
mittee.
To Disturb the Import Tariff Would
Open Up Endless Discus
sions.
Amount of the Proposed Revenue
Reduction Not Finally Agreed
Upon.

WASHINGTON, Nov. zl.-The Repnv
ucan memt ter> of the ways and means
committee met curing the day' 10 con-
slider a measure 1or the reduction of
the war revenue tax. The most i'm.
portant action taken was decision not
to remove the tax Of 10 cents pound
on tea. The committee will not take
up or disturb the tariff on imports as
the members claim it would open up
the whole subject of tariff revision.
The committee willtnot grant any hear
ings while framing the bill, as full
hearings were given during :he last
session of congress and since then
briefs and statements of various inter.
ests have been received. Parties wLo
are interested, however, can file briefs
or statements with the committee.
No decision was reached as to Tx
amount of the reduction that is to be
made and Secretary Gage and COMMITS.
sioner of Internal Revenue Wilson will
be heard on the subject. The sec-e-
tary appeared before the committee
during the day. The session Of the
committee was devoted mainly to a
general discussion and no agreement
has been reached upon any Of the
schedules.

STANDING ARMY OF $4,000.

President Will He Given row,r to Double
the Number When Necessary.
New YORK, Nov. 21.-High officials
connected with the war department., it
is announced in Tribune dispatch
from Washington. say that they are
not going to ask congress for perma-
nent enlisted strength of 100000 men
for the regular army or for an addition
to the number Of officers now on the
army lists.
1t is learned from authoritative
sources in the department that bill is
being prepared which will be presen ted
to congress, providing for permanent
minimum strength of $4,000 men in
the regular army, and at the same
time comforting authority on the presi-
dent to double this number in case Of
need to 10000 men. This is to be
done. not by forming new regiments.
but by adding enlisted men to the ex.
isting organized companies without at
all increasing the number of commits
stoned officers This arrangement t
would bring the army more in harmony
with the modern methods of organiza.
ton which tend to large companies and
regiments.

Reason for the Seizure Of . British ves-

PANAMA. Colombia, Nov. 21.-The
seizure OF vhe British steamer Taboga
by Colombia was due to the fact that
the agent of the Pacific Steam Naviga.
ton company, to which she belonged,
refused to sell or charter the vessel for
the purpose of conveying government
troops to Buenaventura, which was be.
sieged by the Liberals. Therefore, the
governor decreed the seizure Of the
steamer and proceeded to the relief OF
Buenaventura with troops. ammuni.
ton and provisions. The British con-
sui here, E. Malt. entered strong
protest against the seizure of the
steamer, but it was Of no avail. He
shen mmunicated with his govern
ment on the subject. No reply has yet
been received from London.

John B. Fried's Majority Over John

Total Vote of Stutsman County
Three Hundred More Than
in 1898.

The canvass Of the votes OF Stuts-
man county has been completed and
the results as announced some time
ago are found to have been correct.
There are few differences in majori-
ties. The discovery that John Nc
Elroy had received ten more of ma
jority in Courtenay township than
had been telegraphed from that pre-
cinct caused a little flutter of heart
disease among certain few but later
when it was shown that the majority
of Fried over McElroy was five the
excitement subsidized and the oldtime
condition of affairs prevailed through
out the courthouse. One peculiar
coincidence was brought out-that L..
B. Liemeyer's majority over John
Severn for county auditor is 239, the
same as that over John Vennum in
1898. The highest vote cast this year
was 1876, being divided between Nc
ElrOy and Fried, the latter having
five the best of the deal. In 1898 the
highest vote was cast for auditor,
1907. Stutsmans vote has increased
3O8 in two years. The republican
candidates for justices, Messrs. Price,
Pearson, Gaffney and Gilman were
elected. Carl Smith, Matt Wink, c..
