THE STATEHOOD CANVASS.
Dragging Along Slowly. Several Con
 tests to be Considered.

The OtHclal CanVass OI tne returns in state election held on December 18th is dragging slowly, and some impatience IS manifested Tn certain circles because the count has not been completed. But the work is going forward as rapidly as com patible with the importance of d work of so much gravity. As stated elsewhere an entire week anu more were consumed in the work of canvassing the returns from three Counties-Apache, Cochise and Coconino. At that rate it does not seem possible to complete the canvass inside of three weeks-perhaps more.
 It has developed that there have been presented to the consideration of the hoard contests from no less than five counties, viz: Apache. Coconino, Gfeenlee, Pima and Santa Cruz. In Apache, Coconino and Greenlee the offices of state senators are involved; in Santa Cruz the county treasurership is in question, and in Pima another county office is at issue. In all five of the cases irregularities are charged in certain precincts which will change the result if the canvassing board makes investiga- ton and follows the law.
 At the present status of the con tests everything is awaiting a formal hearing which has been set for Tuesday, January 10th at 3 o'clock a. m., at which time all parties in interest in all the cases are to appear before the canyassing board, in person or by counsel, with their witnesses, and if the board decides 1t has power to go behind the returns the cases will be taken up, testimony taken and decisions given. The first question to which the board will address itself will be that of its own power to go behind the returns. Argu- ment was had on that point before the board Tuesday morning of the present week. At the outset the board was disposed to doubt it's own power in the premises; but as the argument proceeded so many points arose that the question was soon seen to be broader and deeper than seemed at first instance. So the board decided to continue the hearing week and summon all parties in interest in all the contests, and give all a hearing.
 The argument in Tuesday was
 made in the interest of MT. H. K Chenoweth, contestant against R
 R. Earhart for the treasurership of Santa Cruz county. About two hours of the time of the board was consumed in the hearing-Allen T. Bird, Republican executive committeeman from Santa Cruz County, appearing on behalf of Mr. Chenoweth. As the argument ad- vanced it became apparent that .he proposition advanced in behalf of MT. Chenowetll would open the door, if adopted, to hearings in all of the contests. Apache and Coco nino had been passed, the protests from those counties going over nnheeded. With Mir. Chenoweth's case brought before the board in advance of the consideration of Santa Cruz County, and backed by

A Double Setback.

The State supreme court has
recently given Governor BleaSe a
double setback. State Bank En-
aminer b J Rhame, it will he
recalled, was a few months since
summarily fired" by His Excel
lency, after the failure of a
bank in Lexington county whose
'shaky" condition the Bank En-
aminer failed to report. Not only
was the offending official remov-
ed, but his job was offered to
and accepted by one Of the
Governors friends" But MIR
Rhame refused to obey the Gov
ernor's mandate and appealed
to the courts with the result
that the supreme court, IN 00"f'
decided that the Governor acted
without authority in removing
Mr. Rhame from the office OF
Bank Examiner.
In the case of Magistrate Kerr
of Greenwood, whom Governor
BleaSe refused to commission at
ter the formers appointment had
been recommended by the Senate,
the supreme court decided that

KINGSTREE high SCHOOL NOTES.

The Wee Nee Literary society
held it's first regular meeting of the
new school term Friday, September
20, with Mr. Cuyler Harper as presi-
dent. The meeting was we'll attend
ed. Twenty-three old members were
present, and fifteen new members
were taken into our society. While
we miss many of the faces of last
year, we hope that our eighth grade
friends will rapidly fill their places,
and that the society will be uplifted
by their presence, and that they
will derive much benefit from the
same.
There being no regular pro-
gramme arranged for the afternoon,
a part of the constitution was read
and discussed for the benefit of the
new members.
Another part of the afternoon
was utilized by Prof Swittenberg,
during which he gave US many
words of encouragement and advice
as we'll as an address of welcome to
our eighth grade members.
Then the query, Resolved, That
the steam locomotive is of more i'm
portance to man than the steam
Ship, was placed before the men,
bers for open discussion. After a
very interesting discussion the judges
retired and soon returned to an
nounce that after careful considera-
ton they had decided in favor of
the negative debators.
At the business session of our
meeting we elected the following
marshals: From the eighth grade,
Alex Blakeley and Zeno Montgome-
ry, and a critic from the tenth
grade, Louise Barn
The society adjourned to meet
again in two weeks, at which time
we hope to have a regular pro-
gramme.
