The tie-up In the State board of
canvassers last week has caused a
great deal Of comment in all Sec
tions of the State. 1t Is very inter-
esting to note that the very mat
ter upon which the tie-up arose was
not touched upon in the executive
session that is the constitutionality
of the act providing for the cleo
ton was not before the board.
An affidavit Of interest in con-
nection with the deadlock in the
board, which was given out, was
filed with Associate Justice Hydrick
by Messrs. Lyon, McCown and Jen-
nings. The affidavit follows:
Personally appeared R. NJ. Nc
Gown, r. H. Jennings and j. Fraser
Lyon, who being duly sworn each
for himself says that the board Of
State canvassers has not decided
whether it has power to consider
the constitutionality of the act under
which the election of the 18th inst.
was held, that deponents have specif-
ically refused to pass upon the same
at this time, but desire to hear coun-
sci upon the subject. That it was
and now is the order of the said
board to hear such argument in or
der that the board may beenlighten-
ed on the subiect hut whenever such
arguments commence, Hon. A. W..
Jones, comptroller general, leaves
the meetings Of the board and balks
the quorum.
THAT said board has decided no
matter In controversy whatsoever at
it's present meeting, but will duly
and properly render its decision if
quorum may be had"

Mrs. j. X. FAINT, Aged Sixty, Takes
CarbOic Acid.

At Campobello Mrs. ]. X. FAINT,
aged 60 years, committed suicide
Monday by drinking half an ounce
tainof carbolic acid. No cause is
ascribed for tie deed other than the
dead woman l.G been suffering TO,
some months from dementia. She
had been carefully watched but TOOK
advantage Of the fact that her dansa-
ter, Miss Bessie FAINT, left her alore
for a short time. That the suicide
was premeditated was shown by the
fact that the windows and doors
were carefully closed and rude
pallet prepared on which Mrs. Fant
was found dead.
She was the wife of Baptist
preacher who died about 10 years
ago. She leaves three daughters,
Mrs. VIM. Cobb of Wilmington. N

Train Ends His Life.

L. A. Bickle, white, aged 43, On
ex-mail clerk on the Southern rail-
way, almost severed his head from,
his body with a razor at his home at
Augusta Sunday morning. Bickle
had been in i'll health and it Is said
that his mind was unbalanced be-
cause of this and recent bereave-
ments in his family.
He happened to be mail clerk n
Southern train from Charleston on
the night of May IS last, when thf
express car was rifled and whea the
train reached Augusta the messenger
was found in a chest The messenger
claimed that he had been knocked
down by masked men and laced
in tho chest.
G. P. Humphreys, baggage nas.er
on the train on the night of the
robbery, cut his throat two Ionths
ago, dying almost instantly, 5ecal.e
he was suspected of the robbery.
However. the express officials do not
connect Bickle with the robbery, but
it is fact that the detective. few
days ago. questioned him regarding
the case.

BLEW OUT HIS BRAINS
While Being Hotly Pursued by {
Sheriff's Posse.

With a posse in close pursuit and
tired of the relentless chase OF Of
ficers of the law, jeff Bradley, who
killed George Welhorn, Jr., near
Clayton, Ca, last Monday night, shot
himself to death near Mountain City
Tuesday afternoon. The suicide oc-
Cured when the officers were almost
within hailing distance Of the alleg-
ed fugitive.
The officers, hearing the shot, be-
lieved that they were about to be
ambushed and dropped to cover.
They waited for other shots, and
then cautiously ventured out and
followed the direction of the shot.
In an old field, face downward, with
his gun lying by his side, Bradley
was found, with his brain blown
out.
Sometime Friday Robert Nix, liv-
ing in the vicinity, went to straw
stack where Bradley was concealed.
Thinking that Nix was hunting for
him, although armed with a shot
gun, Bradley offered to surrender.
Nix told him that he was not hunt
ing for him. Subsequently Nix re-
ported seeing him to Shc.iff ]. H.
Jones, who formed posse of men.
and started in pursuit. Bradley was
27 years Of age and unmarried.

FIVE PERSONS KILLED.
BY Mysterious Gas on Board Of
Steamship at Sea.

n Steamship at Sea.
Mysterious gases released from the
hold Of the United States collier
Nashan when the steel bulkheads Of
that vessel were stove in by hy-
phoon were responsible for the death
Of FIVE members Of her crew, accord
ing to story of Third Assistant En-
gineer Elmer Hutchins, who arrived
at. San Francisco Monday on board
the cruiser Buffalo.
The vessel was en- route from Ca
yite to Hong Kong. Shortly after
the ship ran into terrific typhoon
noise like an explosion of gases
was heard. Capt. Carver took five
members Of the Filipino crew for
ward with him to investigate. The
failure Of the men to return led
Hutchlns to make an investigation
and he was also overcome, but was
revived.
When the men were finally drag
ged back from the hold, it was found
that by some inexplicable freak the
bodies had been stripped naked by
the fumes. Capt. Carver revived,
but Chief Officer Larkin, Second Of
flcer Rapp and three sailors died
from inhailing gases.

SMAsHES RECORD
LAST YEARS COTTON CROP TIE
LARGEST EVER MADE.
Secretary Hester Figures Out a Pro-
duction Of Nearly Fourteen Million

OuCClou Va HSGAAJ AoA oAA
Bales.
Statistics showing that more cot
ton was handled during the CONNER
cial year ending at midnight Tues
day night than ever before and that
all records had been broken in the
amount of cotton consumed by
Southern mills was the features OF
the annual crop statement of Secre-
tary Hester of the New Orleans cot
ton exchange. The document forms
the preliminary report of Secretary
Hester's annual review of the COM
mercial year.
The count of the commercial crop
showed it to be the largest on rec
ord, 13,S25,457 bales. The previous
largest commercial crop was 13, ,5 65,-
5S5, marketed In 1904-05. Last
seasons total was only 11,571,966.
The very large total for this years
crop was surprise to the trade,
including both the Jbulls and the
bears, and If the figures had been
issued while trading was going on
it is probable that they would have
had a depressing effect on prices.
The most important features in
the report next to the size of the
crop itself was the statement on the
amount. OF cotton consumed by
Southern mills during the season
which closed Tuesday. Here all the
records were again broken. the total
being 2,559,873 bales. This point
was regarded by the bulls as being
even of more Importance than the
size Of the crop itself. 1t was TAX
en- as official confirmation of the
many stories of the great expansion
Of cotton manufn ctuSing in the
South. The figures compared with
2,193,0 900 last season and 2,439,-
900 two seasons ago.
In the point of port receipts an
other record was broken. Net re-
ceipts at ali ports Of the season were
put at 10,062,S45 bales, against only
8,579,842 last year and 9,s19,555
two years ago.
Liverpool will have the first
chance to trade on the report. The
trade is about equally divided in
opinion over the effect of the total,
bulls claiming the bearishness of the
big crop is more than Offset by the
-bullishness of the big consumption
in spite of the claim Of the bears
that it is a decidedly bearish docu-
ment.

CATHOLIC oRPHANAGE BURNED
Seven Bodies Have Been Taken So
Far From the Wreck.

The police report that the bodies
Of seven children have been taken
from the ruins of st. Malichy's
home. a Roman Catholic orphanage
at Rockaway Park, L. l., which
burned Monday night Other bodies
are believed to be IN the ruins. At
the time of the fire it was believed
that ali of the children were res
cued through the quick execution of
the fire drill.
The fire was discovered in the
laundry in the north wing at
o'clock Monday night. Three hun
dred and fifty small children were in
their cots on the third and fourth
floors of that wing, and some Of the
older children were attending the
evening prayers in the chapel. AS
the alarm sounded, the older chill
dren marched from the chapel to
the board walk along the beach and
nurses and attendants rushed to the
work of carrying the little children
from their cots on the floors above.
The fremen assisted in searching
the halls and dormitories and found
few children lingering in the halls,
too frightened to leave the build
ing, but the rescue work had been
conducted with such dispatch and
good order that it was believed un-
til Tuesday that all children were
out of the building.

The State then goes on to say that
the funds for a memorial to be
erected on the capitol grounds have

monument and the design has been
declared one of the most artistic
ever prepared. On the monument
just in front of the State house,
erected by the women of South Car
olina to the soldiers who died for
the Lost Cause" are two beautiful
inscriptions. These recite the valor
and heroism of those who, true to
the Instincts of their birth have
glorifed fallen cause by the sim
pie manhood of their lives and their
patient suffering and in the dark
hours of Imprisonment, in the hope
lessness of the hospital, in the short,
sharp agony of the field, found hope
in the belief that at home they would
not be forgotten"
These were some of the words
inscribed by the women OF South
Carolina on the monument to the
soldiers.
1t is now necessary for the men
of the State to send to the commits
sion IN charge Of the work Of erect
ing a monument to the women of the
Confederacy suitable inscriptions for
the tribute to their self-sacrifice and
devotion.

MORE LIVES LOST
IN MEXICAN FLOOD THAN WAS
AT FIRST REPORTED.
Horrors Increase as tho Waters
Subside-It is Estimated that Two
Thousand Were Drowned.

With eight hundred bodies recov-
cred and buried in Monterey up to
nightfall Monday, two thousand is
now the estimate of the city author
tiles OF those who lost their lives
throughout tie valley of the Santa
Catarina river. The number Of
homeless, many destitute, Is placed
at $1,000 and 10000.
The Santa Catarina river at. Mon
terey has subsidized sufficiently to per-
NIT passage into the district lying
to the south and visit to that Sec
tion by correspondent Of the AS
ISOLATED Press revealed an appalling
condition. People who had been saw
ed from the food Of Saturday morn
ling had been without food until
Monday, when on some cables a
small amount OF bread and beans
was gotten across.
Once on the South side OF the
river, evidences Of the terrible de-
struction wrought by the flood were
to be seen on every hand. Five
blocks Of the district were as though
they had never existed and in the
remaining portion of the district
bodies were being taken from the
ruins and buried by party OF gen
darmes sent across for the purpose.
At 4 O'Clock Monday 400 bodies
had been recovered and were ouri-
ed on the hillside south Of San
Luisito, thus, with the same num-
Der buried Sunday, making in all
500 bodies which have been veeoV-
cred in Monterey alone.
Reports from the country, up and
down the valley, are meagTe and
hard to obtain, as all telegraphic
communication has been cut on IN
these directions, but from what has
been learned, the number Of dead
has been placed at 1000 and the
homeless at between $1,000 and
10000 persons. Most Of those peo-
pie are in destitute circumstances
and relief is badly needed.
Reports from down the river
state that many bodies have been
recovered but there are still many
that will never be accounted for as
the Santa Catarina bed is filled with
auicksands and many of those lost
have no doubt disappeared in these
sands.
The authorities are doing all in
their power and the federal govern
ment has sent $4,000 in money
and provisions for the relief of the
sufferers. Contributions have been
received from San Antonio and New
York city firms which have agencies
in this city have authorized their
representatives to contribute liber-
ally to any fund being raised for
relief in this vicinity.
Many houses have fallen from
the effects of the continuous rains
which have occurred during the
seventy-two hours ending at noon
Sunday. During this time Fl and
seven-eights inches of rain fell in
Monterey and up the Santa Catarina
valleys.
One Of the buildings destroyed
was the San Francisco church, which
was the oldest building in the city,
it having been built in 1872. The
barracks of the rurales was washed
away and much military equipment
was lost.
