COTTON BOND ISSUE.
Not Voted on at All in Some of the
Counties.

Reports from various parts of the
State show that very light vote
was polled in the general election
Tuesday. All the Democratic can
didates have been elected. The Re-
publicans had candidates for congress
in several districts, but the Demo-
cratic nominees were overwhelming
ly elected. The Socialists had a
State ticket. except for adjutant gen.
eral; a candidate for United States
senator and candidates for congress
in three of the seven districts. Re-
ports received pointed to the carry
ing of eleven amendments to the
State constitution.
The situation in regard to the pro-
posed cotton bond issue of S24, ,0OO,-
900 was a hopeless mess. Apparent
ly the question was voted upon at
only a small percentage of the poll
ing precincts, in some counties not
at all. The election is nullity, of
course. In some of the counties the
election commissioners did not at
tempt distribution of the ballots and
in others the ballots reached the pre-
cincts after the polls had opened. Re-
turns received showed an overwhelm-
ing vote against the bond issue. In
Charleston, for, instance, the vote
was nine for and $50 against.

WAREHOUSE COMMISSIONER.
John L. McLaurin Elected to Posi-
ton by General Assembly.

Columbia, October 30.-Former
United States Senator John Lowndes
McLaurIn, now serving as senator
from Marlboro, was conight elected
warehouse commissioner. 1t was an
entirely unexpected turn. The whole
thing started in the joint assembly,
when Representative Claude Sapp
nominated Senator McLaurin for the
position and said the nomination was
made entirely without the knowledge
Of Mr.. McLaurin, but he wished to
see the warehouse law a success and
felt no one better fitted for the honor
in view of his fight for the bill and
his abilities.
Senator McLaurin had previously
seconded the nomination of Mr.. Jas.
A. Drake, of Marlboro, and when his
name was sprung he stated that he
was committed to the support of Mr..
Drake and expected to vote and work
for him. In moment conference
was held and MIR. Drake volunteered
to withdraw and Mr.. Mcqueen with
drew the name of Mr.. Drake. The
voted resulted: Total vote cast 10S;
necessary to elect So; John L. Nc
Laurin 5;R. !. McDavid "a; Philip
A Hodges 2S.
The result brought applause and
congratulations for Senator McLau-
rim, the real daddy of the ware
house measure. The position carries
a salary of $4,000 and expenses. Mr..
McLaurin was in no sense a candi-
date for the position. Mr.. Cecil
Wyche suggested the name Of the
governor. but withdrew it when Sena-
tor McLaurin' name was presented.

In the South.
Democratic senators in the South
were reelected without difficulty, new
senators from Southern States chosen
being: Representative Oscar W. I'm

tative Thomas w. Hardwick, of
Georgia. Former Governor ]. c. W.
Beckham, Democrat, of Kentucky,
was chosen for the long term.
Francis E. McGovern, Republican,
was elected, according to the early
returns, to succeed Senator Stephen

The triumph Of former Speaker
Jos G. Cannon, Republican, over
Frank T. O'Hair for Representative
in the 18th Illinois district seemed
certain on the early returns. Other
Illinois Republicans who were turned

cratic landslide who will be returned
to congress are VIM. B. Mckinley,
Charles E. Fuller and John A. Sterl-
ing.
Republicans also made gains in

the president said. II summarizes In
comprehensive form, he explained. a
series of complaints, although each In
dividual case has been the subject OF
a concrete protest
That this protest is the basis for
demand for damages after the war
was evident from the presidents ex-
planation that wherever government
wrongs maritime rights OF neutral
nation the offending nation eventually
has 10 pay for it's ,transgressions.
From this statement 1t was inferred
that, as in other conflicts, the alleged
injured neutral--America In this in
stance expects to ask millions OF dol.
lars In reparation.
The president contended this
sweeping document is only a question
\ of the rules OF international law.
He emphatically asserted that as
far as theory is concerned, there is
no debating Americas position in the
situation. England herself. he said,
had taken similar position In for

Chief Provisions of Police Com i
missiOner's New Traffic
Ordinance
LITTLEFIELD DEMANDS
SAFETY FOR PEDESTRIANS
Says They're "Kept Jumping
For Lives" at Crossings Un-
der Present System

Police Commissioner Gillespie's re-
vised traffic ordinance. which Is In
tended TO furnish needed protection to
pedestrians and make automobile
travel on the city streets safer. was
reviewed by the council committee on
ordinances, Tuesday morning. and
with the exception of few provisions
over which there was considerable de-
bate. was UNANIMOUSLY indorsed by the
members Of the committee.
Section OF the proposed ordinance
will the police commissioner thinks,
put stop to reckless driving. II puts
further check on automobile driv-
ers. even those who are careful to OBJ
serve the speed limit. II provides
that one vehicle In overtaking another
must pass on the left side: that vehi-
cles meeting must pass to the right;
that no vehicle shall pass to the left
OF street car travelling in the same
direction, and that for one vehicle to
pass two others moving In the same
direction constitutes reckless driving.
the driver being subject to arrest and
fine or sentence In thef Detroit
House OF Correction. The new ordi-
nance also does away with the ''un-
earthly racket" caused by the unnec-
essary use Of "cut-outs" on automo-
biles, provides for dimmed headlights
and for adequate brakes that can be
relied upon In case OF an emergency.
Aid. Sherman Littlefeld, chairman
of the committee, caused Sec. 2, giving
the police department the power TO
regulate vehicular and pedestrian traf-
fic In the streets, to be held up, be-
cause he declared that the present
method OF the traffic oficers station
ed at downtown intersections does not
insure the safety of the pedestrian.
"You get halfway across and then
he motions traffic to move In the op-
poslte direction" said Littlefield THE
result is that the pedestrian is jump
ing for his life before he reaches the
sidewalk"
"The best we can do Is to get the
pedestrians halfway across to the
safety zones" stated Commissioner
Gillespie.
well. II we are going to give you
power TO regulate pedestrian traffic

provision Is going to come out OF the

At his suggestion this section was
held up for further discussion, At

The total volume OF business done
was relatively small and the public
interest was, on the whole. limited.
But the market showed good un-

movement, which started soon after
the opening, the better grade or
stocks met with good support. The
early losses in such issues as Anal

Pacific reached point OF more. Then
there was some good support and
the entire market advanced with
gains In many cases more than sur
ficient TO make good the early losses.
Before the close some Of the stand
ard stocks showed moderate ad-
vances for the day.
The afternoon Improvement was In
the face OF some poor showings made
by the railroads, the November ex-
hibits made by the Canadian Pacific
and the Union Pacific being unfavor'
able. So far as the bond market was
concerned, the tone was good, and ad'
though the volume Of orders from

any broad investment demand, there
was some business OF a distinctly end

Police Justice Gainey's court room

them women, when Mrs. Caroline K.
Becker was taken from the county
iail. Tuesday morning, for her exam
ination on the charge OF killing Miss
Frances Bomholt, aged spinster, Of
No. q Austin-st.
Many OF the spectators had reached
court before II opened, and had filed
every available space In the room.

an overflow crowd away from the
doors.
Justice Gainey adjourned the hear

by consent OF Attorney Thomas w.

senting Mrs. Becker, and Assistant
Prosecutor William Heston.
Fifty.eight other cases preceded the

DEAD RAT in BREAD;
BAKER FINED SIS

Sam Rosen. the baker. charged with
selling q loaf of bread with a rat
baked in II, was fined s25 by Judge
Phelan, Tuesday. In spite OF his pro
tests that he had never seen a rat or
mouse In his place, and didn't even
know what a cockroach Is.
Inspector Henry Collins, OF the
health board. who made the complaint
against Rosen. declared that Rosen's
bakery is decidedly dirty and unsani
tary, and that mice. ras and cock
reaches infest the place.
Ben Wolf and Sam Fagen told the
story OF the rat In the loaf. They
said they were slicing the bread when
the knife struck an obstruction which
proved to be the rat.
Rosen asked for stay OF 80 days,
In order TO move for new trial. His
attorney declared that he would try
10 get evidence TO prove that strikers
put the rat In the bread, and Rosen
really didn't know anything about u.
