The final elections were for mem
bers Of the board CT visitors of th2
Citadel. Col. c. S. GadSden, Of
Charleston. and ". ". Lewis, Of
Yorkville, were nominated and re-
elected without opposition.
Senator Hardin asked who were the
incumbents, so that another mistake
would not be made. The elections
were for six years.
MUCH CONFUSION.
There was much confusion about
the elections OF trustees for Clemson
and Winthrop colleges. In some way
Mr., Sease's name was not presented
TOR reelection and he was not renam-
ed, simply because his nomination was
not presented, and third trustee had
to be found in Mr.. Mauldin.
When it came to the election Of
trustees for Winthrop College the
name Of Mr.. D. W. McLaurin was
presented, and following it Senator
Brice named Dr.. T. A. Crawford, a
former valuable member of the board.
No one seemed to know whose terms
expired. 1t was known that Mr.. Nc
Laurin had to be bere-elected, but whose
term was otherwise to be filled no one
knew. The election proceeded, and
then there was surprise when it was
suggested that Senator Tillman was
being dropped from the board in the
same accidental manner that Mr..
Sease had just been left off of the
Clemson board.
In the case of the South Carolina
College, slips announcing the full Sit
uation had been distributed among
the members and there was no con-
fusion.
after the vote had been Sarted there
WIS no way 10 undo the trouble. -lNo
one seemed positive as to whether
Senator Tillman was being legiSlated
of of the board or not, but such
seemed to be the impression. There
seemed. however, to be no remedy, if
desired. After the ertire voting Of
the evening had been concluded. Mr..
Bunch asked if d quorum had voted.
President Sloan stated that a quorum
had not voted for members Of the
board of trustees Of the Citadel, but
that the business of the joint assembly
having been concluded, it stood ad-
journed.
Is IT SENATOR TILLMAN?
There were 81 votes cast for the
Winthrop trustees, and 50 would be a
quorum. The point Of no quorum
was not made at the tiIae or after the
election had been announced, as to
the Winthrop elections, but the rec
ords will show that 81 totes were cast
for Winthrop trustees. It is stated
that quorum is not necessary in a
joint assembly, but what the parlia
mentary law would be is not settled
now. Some say that the Journal
would show no quorum, and that the
elections will not stand on that ac-
count. They have, however, been de-
clared. Then, it is contended, that
the joint assembly having adjourned,
the question Of the Winthrop vote can
only be raised in joint assembly, and
not in the Senate or the House.
It is suggested that another concur
rent resolution would have to be
passed calling for another Joint assem-
bly, to take up the matter.
Although it is said that Senator
Tillman is the member who has been
dropped there seems to DE 40 certain
ty about this matter.
Inquiry was made after the joint
assembly had adjourned and it de-
velopS here that in 1900 the Journal
shows that there were seven mem
bers Of the Winthrop board elected.
and that they were to draw lots for
their terms Of office Who drew the
different terms was never reported
here, and no commissions were ever
issued to the mem berS Of the board
so as to indicate their respective
