Gea. Bixby informed his VS.
itors that the crevasses made by

crnment no authority over the

or safeguarding OF navigation,
Loycc building, therefore, not
necessary to channel develap-
mept could not be considered.
In SO far as these Cairo bust
ness men accept the General as
constitutional authority, they
may be pardoncd for thinking
somewhat hardly of the Consti-
tuition. Cairo's very existence

Six millions for work on the

Rock Hill, Sept. 20.-Chairman w.

III several cases evidence Of fraud
has been submitted in the proper
form, but in the majority Of cases
only information tending to show
h a there was fraud has been re-

cure the evidence and this takes con-
siderable time and correspondence.
Mr.. Wilson, after being appointed
rs chairman Of the subcommittee to
work the eastern district OF the State,
at once wrote the other members OF
his committee, but these have refused
to do anything, pending Il full meet
ing OF the committee and the issu-

those who can spare the entire earn

filed with County Chairman Jas. NJ.
Moss as to the result in the race for
Sheriff OF Oconec county. In justice
to Sheriff w. NJ. Kay we state here
that he o only had nothing to do
with the protest, but filed n state
mcnt with the County Chairman to
the effect that the protest was with
out his advice or consent and against
his wishes.
After considering the protest and
odcmand for consideration at the
hands OF the County Executive Com
mittee, Chairman Moss called the
committee to meet in the Court
House at II o'clock Tuesday, Sep
tcmhcr 2ith, at which time Il meet
ing was held. Members OF the com
mittec from all ovcr the county ap-
pearcd and were ready to take up
the matter for the consideration of
which they had been called. but
The parties whU filed the protest
were not present.
Nor was there present Il single wit
ness named by them to S~ubStnnMutc
The charges made in the protest.
The meeting proved to be nothing
more nor less than a farce. Here
we're the County Chairman and mem
bcrs OF the Executive Committee,
ready to discharge their duty-au I'M
n1pDcnnt 1ptr nnInr any nir,, i,
stance, and one that ncccssitated in
convenience OF travel and the loss Of
time-yet the mcn who made ncccS-
Sary their gathering did not appear,
nor cid a single witness they had
named.
Certainly such occurrences are de
serving OF cvc criticism. The men
who hold positions as Executive
Committeeman have enough to do in
the discharge Of the regular duties
that fall to their lot without being
subject to such Inconvenience at the
hands OF irresponsible parties.
There should be some rule adopt
ed, We think, whereby the County
CHAIRMAN WOuid DO ClOtncd with
power TO pass upon the merits Of a
protest that might be filed, so that
he could call the Executive Commit
tee together If the cause should be
found meritorious, or refuse TO do so
if there was, on the face Of the pro-
test, nothing in it.
We know nothing of the situation
as presented in the case to which we
refer, but we venture the assertion
that, had the County Chairman been
clothed with the power we have sng-
gested as advisable, there would have
been no meeting Of the Executive
Committee yesterday, and a lot Of
gentlemen whose time is valuable to
them would not have been i%nconyen-
fenced.
