Raleigh, n. c., November so.
The state board of c~anvassers is hard
at work, but is greatly annoyed by the
failure to receive returns from six
counties, this number having not been
heard from including Catawba and
Union. Chairman Lamb OF the board
says there are a number Of breaks in
the state and congressional returns and
that the legislature will have to amend
the Law imposing a penalty ON county
boards for not doing their duty by
sending in the returns. He says the
trouble now Is worse than ever before
and that it has been getting worse
every two years since 1900. kilograms
have been sent calling for the returns
and If these are not in hand by tomor-
row the board will continue in session
next week or it may have to adjourn
for 20 days which the law permits and
send special messages after the returns.
MI. Lamb says that the board finds the
majority for Mcneil for corporation
commissioner to be between $4,000 and
1900, making an estimate of the votes
in counties not heard from. The re-
publicans cast about II, 900 votes.
