How it Occurred in Mcdowell.

To the Editor:-In commenting upon
the returns of the late election, as tab
ulated by the State Canvassing Board,
you say: cit is noticeable that on all
four of the tickets the two names at
the head were severely scratched 1t
is possible that the registrars and judges
of election may have made mistakes In
the returns, for l am 10th to believe that
any Democrat would have scratched the
name of Hon. Lee S. Overman, or that
any Republican would have scratched the
name of Hon. A. II. Price. In one pre-
cinct in Mcdowell county, Turkey Cove
all parties admit that all of the Demo
cratic electors received % votes and all
of the Republican electors received 81
votes But the returns from that pre-
cinct show that the registrar and judges
failed to return any votes cast for either
d. II. Mclean, A. H. Price, ]. r. Blair,
or j. II. Rendleman. The votes cast for
Lee S. Overman and ]. H. McCrary were
placed in the column for the Seventh
district electors. So that, if the registrar
and judges at that precinct had made
a correct return of the votes cast, all of
the Democratic electors would have re-
ceived in the county LOLA votes, and all
the lepuDllCdu eIeClOFS ,lU0 NOl6o' IL
may be. that mistakes were made in other
counties.

Nobody would, of course, scratch Mr.
Overman or Mr.. Price on personal
grounds 1t is not unusual for some vo-
ters to scratch part of the electors,
though it is inconceivable why any voter
should scratch any andidate-electors are
only NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS.

very clear that any new factors have
| been introduced into the general situa-
ton which have not been in evidence
| for some time past. So far as these
general considerations are concerned

be due to a growth OF conviction as to

rather than to any new status. These
| general conditions are the hardening
money market and the coal strike and
rather in the background the Chinese
situation. Those who found nothing in
the actual news sufficient to account for
| the extreme weakness Of the market Of
| fered a supposition that some develop
ment not yet generally known In the
| Chinese tangle had induced large sell
| ing by persons with advance informa-
| tion. Certainly it is hard to account
for such wholesale selling as that of to-
| day in a market which has been sup
posed to contain comparatively light
speculative commitments on the ground
Of fears of future events or sentimental
considerations. No selling was forced
| by actual contraction of credits, al
though the rates for money showed a
continuance Of the recent hardening
| tendency. The forces toward depletion
of New York money reserves continue
operative, the days outgo of currency
| to the interior being large. The relief
on sub-treasury operations is also on
diminishing scale. The progress of the
strike arouses keen apprehension OF
outbreaks of violence and extension OF

tual occurrence of the day seemed to
| bring such developments any nearer
than did the first stoppage OF mining
| The letting go of speculative holdings
which have been recently accumulated
on the conviction that the prolonged

an influence in the weakness and pro-
| fessional short selling undoubtedly
played a large part as well. The spec
| ial weakness of the steel stocks SEEM
| ed to show some peculiar apprehension
that the conferences over wages and the
efforts to adjust prices would not bring
the industry to a probable basis. Ten

Gently dormant stocks there were some
wider declines, but the length of time
since the last sales detracts from their
significance. The list in which the

evidence of the extent OF the liquida-

the question OF greatest interest In Wall

Ernest NJ. Bowden in The Nineteenth
Century reports n chat with Raja
Sivaprasad on Jainism. The Jains
pay more regard TO the feelings of tbs
lower animals than any other sect in
the world; will not kill them or injurC
them; are careful to avoid destroying
even insects, sometimes wearing O
handkerchief over the mouth to pre-
vent any living creature being breath
ed in. 1t may be argued that this
tenderness will prove in the long run
fatal to its possessors, handicapping
them seriously in the struggle for life
with less scrupulous rivals. AS evil
dence to the contrary Mr.. Bowden
points to the jams:
Notwithstanding the opposition, II
not active prosecutions, of bygone
times, the one small sect which, more
than any other in the world, has
taught and practiced the doctrine OF
'ahimsa,' or 'noninjury,' to living crea'
lures, stands today, after some four
and twenty centuries, by far the most
prosperous community in population
verging on 3OO,O0O,O00."
