Georgtans Not Losing Any Sleep
Over Crumpaker's Resolution.
The Cotton Problem Is Uppermost
i'm the Minds of Southern People
NOw-Senator Latimer Says the
DIFFICULTY Is Too Much Cotton.
BY R. NJ. Earner.
Washington, Dec. 21.-Southern con-
gressmen. who are we'll informed on
the sayings and doings at the National
Capital, are not surprised that Repre-
sentative Crumpaker of Indiana, has
been obliged to abandon all hope of
securing action during the present ses-
sion, on his pet measure to reduce
Southern representation, as a solution
Of the race problem. Senator Bailey
as was stated. announced the failure
of the Crumpaker crusade. two weeks
ago. 1t was not guess work on the
part of the Senator from Texas, but
it was the result of a political talk he
had with the Republican leaders Of
the Senate.
Representative Howard of Georgia,
who keeps in touch with what is going
on at both ends of the Capitol. has
contended from the beginning of the
session, that nothing would be done
with the Crumpaker resolution in this
Congress.
No Sleep Lost In Georgia.
Down in Georgia" said Mr.. How
ard, eve are not losing any sleep over
"a Ct,I,i 1F of
resentation, either in the House of
Representatives or in the Electoral
College. We are capable Of dealing
with the race problem. but just now
we are terribly worried about our cot
ton. If some broad-minded statesman
would come forward and suggest some
practical method by which we might
dispose of our cotton at fair value,
we might be willing to submit to a
reduction in our representation, un-
der certain conditions. The cotton
problem is causing some of us more
unrest than the race problem. We
know how to prevent negro domination.
but we are at loss what to do with
our cotton at the present market
price"
Little Relief Expected.
But little, if any. relief is anticipated
from favorable action on Representa-
tive Livingston's resolution to investi-
gate the cotton crop reports given out
by the Department of Agriculture. That
subject has been thrashed out so many
times that no practical result is like
ly to accrue to those who have grown
too much cotton.
Senator Latimer, of South Carolina
says the difficulty is that too much
cotton was planted last year and the
small growers unloaded their cotton on
the landlords and brokers at a period
when the price of cotton was about 8
or 10 cents. Senator Latimer has some
of the cotton on hand now that he
bought from his tenants at that figure.
He had no idea at that time that the
price was going to take such a slump.
Several of his tenants paid off back
debts Of years with this years crop.

Always Attracts a Crowd of WISH
tors-Cost 20 Cents "a Mile to Carry
the Vote of the Various states
from the Place of Meeting of the
Electors to Washington.
BY r. M. Larner.
Washington, Dec. 21.-A group of
congressman, who are deeply interest
ed in the probable fate Of the river
and harbor bill and the prospects of
favorable legislation on various pub
lie building bills now tied up in COM
mittee were having a heart to heart
talk yesterday about the difficulty of
getting appropriations for the practi-
cal purposes. One Of the members
picked up House Doc. No 81" which
estimates the expenses in connection
with the formal announcement of the
electoral vote for President and Vice
President, which is to take place in
the Hall of the House Of Representa-
tives on Feb. next.
Cost of Coming Electoral Vote.
The document shows that 1t will
cost an even $4,000 to pay the mes
sengers of the various states for con-
veying to Washington the votes of
the electors of said states. These
messengers receive Is cents for every
mile of the estimated distance by the
most usual roads Travelled from the
place of meeting of the electors. In
addition to the expense OF the mes
sengers, an allowance of 81, 800 for
printing the ascertainment OF the
electors. 1t was the unanimous opin-
ion Of all the members of the group,
that in view of the result Of the cleo
ton, that amount of money might be
expended more judiciously and to a
better advantage in some other d.
rection.
Ceremony of the Count.
Their observations, however, will not
prevent the usual ceremony OF count
ing the electoral vote being held at the
Capitol on the date mentioned. AL
though II is a stiff, perfunctory pro-
oeeding, 1t always attracts a great
crowd, besides Il has to be done ac-
cording to the constitution. The sena-
tors march over to the House and
take front seats. The president of the
Senate presides over the two houses in
joint session. Two tellers on the part
of each body read the certificates al
ternately as they are opened by the
president Of the Senate. The certif-
Gates are acted upon in alphabetical
order and the result announced by the
presiding officer and entered upon the
journals OF the two houses.
This function is usually attended
with great ceremony and sometimes
with as much enthusiasm as II the
result was a gratifying surprise. Since
the days OF the electoral commission,
growing out Of the Tilden and Hayes
contest. there have been no sensational
developments on dignifed occasions.
