Electoral Tote.
Washington, Jan. 29.-Somebody
in South Carolina is in danger Of
having to pay fne Of $1,000 for
not delivering the States electoral
vote to Vice President Fairbanks,
according to the Requirements OF
The Federal statutes. According to
the law on the subject the time for

At that time three States, Colorado,
Montana and South Carolina, had
not been heard from. The two
Western States have now shown up,
however, leaving only South Carolina
unheard from.
In order that there might be no
trouble in the matter, Senator Till.

WAN! TO HELP TAFT
REPUBLICANS ANXIOUS TO CON.
FIRas CRUN's NOMINATION.
Nessrs Rhett and Waring OF Charles
ton Summoned to Washington by
Senator TiiiEHaa

Washington, Jan. EFF the
question 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 admins
tration, it will have to be done by a
herculean physical task by Senator'S
Tillman, Gary and what other Dem
ocrats 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-Charlesto2 were here to-
day, having come in response to a
telegram from Senator Tillraan yes
.erday, which stated that the senate
committee on commerce had report
ed fayorably the nomination Of
Crun. Messrs. Rhett and Waring
had q conference with Senator Till
man and lett this afternoon for
Charleston to get up data and put
forces to work to help Tillman, who
tod them be 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 friend
ly to Mr. Taft that it will take more
than straw TO make bricks hard
enough to hold oG this conlrma-
tion. Senator Frye, president Pre-
tenn 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 nomination had been REFER.
cd to Senator Simmons Of NORTH
Carolina, the leading Democrat IL
! the committee. He refused to re
port it to the senate, even after
Senator Frye had secured najori
ty Of the committee to vote for
favorable report. Frye declared tha
be would report it himself, and he
did.
When Crum's nomination was frs
made by President Roosevelt, Sena
tor Tillman was able to hold it W
for two years. Bur now things are
slightly different Then there wa!
a good deal of sympathy for him aRt
senatorial courtesy prevailed. Nov
there is not that sympathy for Till
man nor any consideration foI
Charleston on the part of Repuoii
can leaders. Besides all, there Is al
incoming president, the rising ans
not the setting sun who wants Crun
confirmed, and the senate leaders OF
the Republican side are decided!
friendly to Taft.
They will do anything to force
through this confirmation in orde:
10 relieve Taft of embarrassment
The only thing Tillman can do te
block 1t is simply to get the fool
and hold it day and night through
all executive sessions from now til
- O'Clock March 4. II he gets the
whole Democratic side to help hin
and makes up his mind to go through
the strain he might be able to dt
it, but the indications are that he
is not going to get much help from
his old friend, senatorial courtesy

ures that we get through the census
bureau fren the foreisn holders OF
cotton, and thereby present con-
pIete&and absolute picture of the cot
ton trade, tho amount produced and
the amount needed By the manufac-
turers."
In answer to questions by mem
bers Of the committee, Mr.. Lever
said further: ''The census bureau
is now issuing report Oh September
l. The heavy selling period of cot
ton, when it goes cut of the hands
of the farmer, ranges from Septem-
Der to January 1. The census
bureau is furnishing only one report
a year, that of September /. That
furnishes rather incomplete infor-
nation and this resolution proposes
to give to the cotton world, through
the heavy selling period, the figures
Of consumption and stock on hand,
so that the farmer will be Informed
from time to time of the necessities
Of the manufacturer and may pat
his cotton upon the market in a
more intelligent manner"
In the course of his remarks
director of the census, Mr. North,
said: "I regard cotton from the in
ternational point of view as the most
crop that this country
grows, and there is no doubt that
these figures are as valuable across
the ocean as they are in this country.
I think also that there is no doubt

ton over SO per bale, or ia the az.
gregate s25. 100000 to $4,000, 900
per annum on the cotton crop Of the
South.
The means by which this great
savings to the cotton growers of the
South can readily be seen when it is
remembered that one Of the ordi-
nary railway cars vii! take from the
interior, that is, direct from the gin
to the exporting point, 100 bales of
cotton compressed by the Neely ma
chine, whereas under the present sys-
,em Of ginning four cars are requir-
ri for that number of bales. Then
another big item of economy is the
saving Of freight in shipping to
European countries.
The ships which carry cotton to
europe charge by cubic foot space
md not by weight. Hence there will
,e great saving in freight charges,
nasmuch as nearly double as many

large number of their many friends
were present to express regret at
Stafford loss, yet confident that sue
cess awaited Mr.. Tyrie in his new
field at Hazardville. A purse of
some over a hundred dollars was
presented Mr.. Tyrie, O. #. Harwood

their president, Mrs. Robert Quinley,

Mr.. Tyrie responded with many kind
words for Stafford and it's people as
his four years pastorate had brought
him to know them. A short musical
of ladies' voices in solos, duets and
chorus singing was enjoyed. Mrs.
Willis Reed and Miss Edith Cushman
served at the refreshment table. The
evening SO pleasantly spent made one
forget it's purpose, and an enjoyabl g
