WANT NEGRO CONFIRMED
REPUBLICANS ANXIOUS TO CON-
FIRM HIS NOMINATION.
Messrs.. Rhett and Waring, Of Char
lesion, Summoned b. Senator
Tillman.

Washington, Jan. 29.-If the ques-
tion of the appointment OF negro
as collector of the port OF Charleston
is to be put up to Mr.. Taft at the
opening OF his administration, it will
have to be done by herculean physi-
cal task by Senators Tillman, Gary
and what other Democrats they can
get to assist them, for the Republican
leaders of the senate are determined
that Crum shall be confirmed at this
session, and the confirmation is on its
way.
Mayor Rhett and Hon. Thos. R.
Waring, of Charleston, were here to-
day, having come in response to a tel
egram from Senator Tillman yester-
day, which stated that the senate
committee on commerce had reported
favorably the nomination of Crum.
Messrs. Rhett and Waring had a con-
ference with Senator Tillman and
left this afternoon for Charleston to
get up data and put forces to work
to help Tillman, who told them he
could not make bricks without straw
and it was up to them to furnish the
straw. But it is the opinion of those
who know what is working in the
minds of certain Republican leaders
friendly to Mr.. Taft that it will take
more than straw to make bricks hard
enough to hold off this confirmation.
Senator Frye, president pro TEN of
the senate, and one Of the big bosses,
is in charge of the matter. He it was
who had the confirmation brought
out of the committee. The nomina-
tion had been referred to Senator
Simmons of North Carolina, the lead
ing Democrat on the committee. He
refused to report it to the senate,
even after Senator Frye had secured
a majority of the committee to vote
for a favorable report. Frye declared
that he would report it himself, and
he did.
When Crum's nomination was first
made by President Roosevelt, Senator
Tillman was able to hold it up for
two years. But now things are
slightly different. Then there was
good deal of sympathy for him and
senatorial courtesy prevailed. Now
there is not that sympathy for Till
man nor any consideration for Char
lesion on the part of Republican
leaders. Besides all, there is an in
coming president, the rising and not
the setting sun who wants Crum con-
firmed, and the senate leaders on the
Republican side are decidedly friend
ly to Taft. They will do anything to
force through this confirmation in
order to relieve Taft of embarrass-
ment. The only thing Tillman can do
to block & is simply to get the floor
and hold it day and night through an
executive sessions from now till IL
O'Clock March 4. If he gets the whole
Democratic side to help him and
makes up his mind to go through the
strain he might be able to do it, but
the indications are that he is not go.

friend, senatorial courtesy.-zach

Took Arsenic to Reform Son.

Richmond, Jan. 30.-Thinking to
frighten her son, Marshall Cole, into
reformation by such action. Mrs.
Sarah E. Cole last night took a dose
of arsenic which, but for the activity
and care of the one whose reforma-
ton was attempted, would certainly
have resulted fatally. The dose was
taken just before eight o'clock and
not until ten o'clock was the woman
declared out of danger by DR.. W. F.
Williams, of Fulton. -
Mrs. Cole, who lives in 1925
Fourth street, Fulton, is widow
whose husband left small sum OF
money. This money has been spent
in the support of herself and her chill
dren and Mrs. Cole found herself
facing want. Her eldest son, Mar
shall, refused to 60 to work and Mrs.
Cole thought to bring him to a
realization of their position by taking
poison. She had no intention OF
committing suicide, and diluted the
poison. Enough was taken, however,
to have caused her death if medical
assistance had not been forthcoming.
AS soon as he saw what his mother
had done, the son went for DR.. Will
liams. When the doctor arrived the
mother laughed the matter off, saying
that she had not taken the poison.
The doctor left and shortly afterward
symptoms of poisoning set in. He
was summoned again and saw that
the woman was in serious condition.
He worked over her until after 10
o'clock, when he declared her out OF
danger. This morning Mrs. Cole had
almost entirely recovered from her
experience.
