that the nomination will be seconded

Walker delegates will be present from
ten counties while the remaining i've

be made unanimous.
There was considerable discussion
among the delegates who arrived
the city yesterday as to who wou >
be made chairman of the district t
succeed Judge Mcdonald and several
names were mentioned, chiefly among
them being Judge Willis Dart of Doug

factory to all concerned and it is more
than likely that he will be named.
Judge J. G. Crawford of Valdosta, who
managed Mr. Walkers campaign, has
also been mentioned and he has many
friends who will probably INSIST that
he accept the place.

Washington, Aug 30.-The 747 ma
rines who sailed from the Phlladel
phia navy yard last week for N.ca-
ragua are due at Colon tomorrow.
They will be transported across the
lsthmuS of Panama on a special cain
and embarked on the big arrIoced
cruiser California, due at Panama to
night or tomorrow morning The
California is to leave Panama inl. -
diately, perhaps touching at San
Juan del Sur to reinforce a small ma
rine contingent left at that place by
the cruiser Denver, to make sure that
the important cable station is not
c-csCd by the rebels. All messages
from the American legation at Mana
qua and the American naval COM
manders at Corinto must come to San
Juan del Sur in order to reach the
cable
The California should reach Co
rinto on Monday night if she covers
the $50 miles at top speed. Rear Ad-
miral Sutherland has already an
nounced his purpose of sending to
Managua at least 500 of the marines
she carries, but the remainder prob
ably will be used to patrol the 72
miles of railroad connecting the capi-
tai with the sea. These reinforce
ments will bring the total American
strength gin Nicaragua up to more
than 1000 men ashore and about 1000
bluejackets on ships in the waters
on both sides of the country. The
naval commanders are satisfied that
this force will meet present needs,
but should the rebels offer more for
midable resistance than is expected
to the execution of the policy of pro-
lection to American lives and prop
erty, then the Tenth infantry, held in
light marching order On the isthmus
since President Taft revoked the or
der sending it into Nicaragua, probably
would be moved after ALL
1t is believed that the rebels will
attempt to stop the movement (of
American forces along the wrecked
railroad The greatest obstruction
is expected to be at Leon, which
seems to be the seat of the rebel
operations. The difficulties expected
to be encountered there probably will
be relieved by an American force
from Managua working its way down
tAc railroad tracks toward Leon. This
will place the rebel headquarters be-
tween two American forces
One cause of great concern of the
state department is the condition Of
about 125 Americans at Matagalpa, in
the interior of the republic Com
munication to that section is extremely
difficult. The last heard from them
told of critical conditions. The only
. way of communication with the
American planters is by courier.
American Minister Weitzel report
ed to be doing all he can to keep him
self informed of conditions theie. AS
soon as the American reinforceIhents
can restore railway communication
and get up to Managua, it is probable
that a force of marines sufficient to
insure the safety of these people will
be sent to their aid.

CHARGE MADE IN
SOUTH CAROLINA
FRAUDULENT VOTING OF MINORS
AND NONRESIDENT IN
ELECTION.
CONTESTS ARE OISREGARDED
state Democrats Committee Meets to
Take Up the Matter-The State
Greatly Wrought Up over the Stu
alton.

Columbia, S. c., Aug 30.-Charges of
fraud, the stuffing of ballot boxes with
10000 illegal votes, the voting of
minors and non-residents and the meet
ing of the state Democratic executive
committee here today have served to
turn South Carolina into"a seething,
boiling caldron of discomfort
Yesterday Mr.. Christie Bennett, sec
retary of the state committee, wired
to the chairman of every county eX-
ecutive committee in the state and
Instructed him to hold up everything
in, connection with Tuesdays primary
1t Can mean but one thing, and that
is, the committee wishes to be pre-
pared to take drastic action, if reces-
sary, and they want the ballot boxes
to remain in the same shape they
were in when the last ballot was
dropped into them.
Contests have been filed all over
the state, and many of the county ex-
ecutive committees have refused te
consider them Those who filed the
contests are arriving in the city to-
day and will appeal direct to the state
committee.
The members of the committee be-
gan arriving here yesterday, and
Chairman John Gary Evans reached
here at midnight.
The following is the telegram sent
out to county chairmen by order of
the chairman of the state committee:
Preserve all ballots, tally sheets
poll lists, club rolls, managers re
ports and all records until further no
tice from the state executive comlssA.
tee. JOHN GARY EVANS,
80 irman."
AS the hour for the cdhvening of
the state committee drew near, it be-
came evident that no definite action
woud be. taken at today's meeting
Several of the contests to be consid-
cred by the committeeman are not
in shape to permit of final action, and
it is believed the committee will
transact routine business and adjourn
for sufficient time for the protest
ants to prepare their cases.
After a short session this morning
the Democratic state executive conn.,
Il mittee adjourned to meet again this
afternoon at 2:30 o'clock. At the
morning session the presidential elect
ors from the seven congressional dis
tricts were named and two at large.
At the meeting this afternoon the vote
for congressman will be canvassed
and the results announced.
The committee has decided to ad-
journ this afternoon to meet again
on next Tuesday, at which time the
gubernatorial contest will be decided
and all contests will be heard.

bulk stations in other towns ir
Louisiana and no harmful effects
have ever resulted therefrom.
These tanks are placed on heavy
concrete or brick foundations
raised Z feet above ground, and
are built of steel, not less than
three-sixteenths of an inch in
thickness and so arranged that
in case of lightning the contents
of the tank would burn without
any damage other than destroy
ing the tank itself. If this sec
ton of the ordinance could be
amended, so that the distance
could be materially reduced with
the proviso that the consent of
the adjoining property owner
must be first obtained, our COM
pany would endeavor to comply
with the ordinance and establish
a bulk station in your t 0 W n
where gasoline and refined oils
might be stored, thus affording
at all times an ample supply for
the needs of your town at a price
very much less than we could
afford to sell it without these ia
cilities.
-Four Messrs. Langston and
Garrett called on you recently
and discussed this matter with
you and, we believe, outlined
what amendments would be nee
essary in order to allow us to en-
ter Opelousas in accordance with
the above and fully comply with
the city ordinance covering the
handling and storing of refined
oil and gasoline
We contemplate purchasing a
piece of property IS K 1867
from Judge Pavy, which borders
on the main line of the 0pelou-
sas & Gulf R. R. Co. If the
amendments could be so con-
structed thatw could purchase
this piece of property and build
onr bulk storage, we will imme-
diately place the matter before
our people with a view of having
the application approved. Just
as soon as the amendments could
be approved and passed, it would
only be a short time before we
could bring the matter to a close
with a view of installing bulk
storage.
