ELECTION CASE
Up At AUGUSTA

AUGUSTA, GA, Dec. 1S.-Charging the
Hayne partisans with fraud in the may
orally election here on December 4, the
contested election case brought by Or.
J. r. Litueton, defeated candidate for
mayor, was begun in the superior court
room here today before Ordinary a. r.
Walton. The interest which has been
shown from the first in the outcome of
the election and the probability of its
being successfully contested brought forth
Ia large crowd to witness the hearing.
Boykin Wright, representing l.. c.
Hayne, the successful candidate began
the argument He contended that the
result of the election was declared De-
cember and the petitioned, filed Deem
Der 10, was one day too late.
He also argued that the prayer in the
amendment, asking the court to take
charge of the ballot box, was a new
procedure, and was not filed within the
tive-day limit allowed 10y the statutes.
He asked the dismissal of this amend
meut.
Mr. Wright went further to show the
authority given for the opening and ex-
aiming of the ballot boxes and the
sanctity and in reliability of the freeman $
vote. lie argued that the examination of
the ballot boxes would be unconsutu-
tioual and without authority. Other
points in favor OF the coutestee were ar
gued by Mr.. Wright during the sitting,
which adjourned at o'clock this after
noon.
The hearing will be resumed at 10
o'clock tomorrow morning
The fight over the Augusta mayoralty
has been waged In one form or another
since last summer, when the Hayne fac
tlcn refused to go into a primary with
the Littletou candidates.

He came out squarely for the initiative,

could not govern against unorganized
public opinion. There was a feeling Of
suspicion everywhere and he said there
could not be solid business on q basis
Of common suspicion. He felt that the
people were dissatisfied with their repre-
sentative assemblies. It might not be

states. and the states in which the people
were dissatisfied largely outnumbered
those In which they were satisfied.

1T is highly probable that If Lieut..
Greene had taken the responsibility of in
creasing the powder charge Of the Moni-
tors 1l-inch guns, of which he was in
charge, the result would have been disas-
trous to the Merrimac. But the orders
restricted the charge Of fifteen pounds,
and the possibility of mishap from in
creasing it deferred that young officer
from those smiles which fortune only
beams on those who dare, when to win

this battle was the defeat Of the main
object of the assault of the Merrimac,

Withdrawal of the Monitor.

Shortly after this attempt of the Mer-
rimac to ram the Monitor the latter with
drew from the action, for a reason
which we did not then understand, bat
which has subsequently been shown to
have been due to an injury to the eyes
of Capt. Worden, who commanded the
vessel and who was looking out of the
crevice in the observation tower when
shell from the Merrimac exploded in front
of it. While Lieut. Greene, who succeed
ed to the command of the vessel, was
engaged in attending to his injured SUI
perior according to the explanation,
some one took the ship out of action and
steered her back toward Fort Monroe.
At any rate, the Monitor withdrew from
the fight for a time. which the people on
the Merrimac apparently regarded as an
indication that the contest had resulted
to their advantage, and after waiting
around in the neighborhood for a while
finally took the Merrimac back toward
Sewalls point. AS that vessel neared the
point il fired a parting shot of defiance.
which was the last shot that passed be-
tween those vessels on that day.
Some time after the departure Of the
Merrimac the Monitor returned to the
scene Of the fight. l afterward was in
formed by one of the crew of the Mer-
rimac that the vessel, when it left the
scene Of the fight was In no condition to
be an aggreSsOr, as the straining she
received from the loss Of her ram in but
ting the Cumberland, and from her later
experience, caused here to leak badly.

Large Iron Box, Sloping Sides.

"There was still enough of the morning
haze left to render obscure any object in
the distant perspective, but with the
glasses / saw what seemed to me to be
large iron box with sloping sides placed
on raft with smoke coming from the
smokestack and steam arising from some
sort of exhaust appliance. When l told
the captain of my discovery he said, oh!
that is the Merrimac! and took the
glasses.
II then went down to the beach along
which most of the officers and men of the
brigade had scattered themselves to view
the events. Soon the Merrimac approach
ed to within firing distance of the Min
nesota. which was still aground. not
withstanding the sfforts of a number Of
putting. straining :ugs which were trying
she was fast. The Merrimac opened the
battle by firing shell which appeared to
explode among the rigging of the Min
nesota, to which the latter vigorously re-
piled. The. curling of the smoke from the
guns of the Minnesota as it rose in clouds
through her rigging, and as the hull
seemed to jump back from the recoil
each discharge, was impressively spectac-
ular. To the establishment of most Of
us who were not aware of the arrival OF
the Monitor during the night that YES
sci. soon after the firing began. went
gagged with the Merrimac. These two
vessels unanswered about each other
several hours firing advantage seemed
to appear. At one time the Merrimac at
tempted to ram the Monitor, but the
pilot Of the latter vessel steered her off
SO that the Monitor received only
glancing blow, which, however, seemed
TO us to depress the vessel at the point
of contact and correspohdingly raised the
other end out of the water like a cork.

Washington, May Ex-senator
Warren of Wyoming is championing
bill for an appropriation of $780,
600 yearly for rifle practice in pub
lie schools and colleges, or under
the. direction of the War department.
The executive council has passed p
resolution disproving of the Warren
bill, as follows: eve protest against
the enactment of the Warren bill, or
any other movement toward militar-
izing our school system; that such
a purpose or tendency contains Sc
rious and dangerous possibilities to
divert the activities and ideals of
American boyhood to the destructive
and brutal art of war, rather than to
the activities and ideals of the arts
of peace; that the proposition con-
tanned in the Warren bill is IN
American and not calculated to de-
velop the best conception of patriot
ism or the maintenance of the ma
tional spirit of liberty"

States To Decide On
Direct Elections

Washington, May 29.-secretary
of State Knox has forwarded to the
governors of all the states certified
copies of the congressional resolu-
ton providing the stateswith an OPP
portunity to vote on the proposed
amendment to the constitution au-
thorizing direct election of senators.
The governors of the states are re-
quested to bring the matter to the
attention of the state legislatures for
action. When the state department
receives notice of the ratification by
three-fourths of the total number of
states the amendment will be pronul-
gated by the secretary of state, and
will from then forward be a part of
the constitution of the United States.
There is no time limit within which
an amendment must be ratified. The
United States constitution provides
that when the legislatures of three
fourths of the several states ratify
any amendment proposed by congress
