committee is composed of % men,
bers, equally divided between the
Hyde and Grace factions, with the
deciding vote in case of tie being
with Mr.. Logan, who. IN addition to
being chairman of the committee, is
law partner Of John P. Grace. An
other member fthe committee, John
/. Cosgrove, likewise is Mr.. Gracc's
law partner.
The matter Of determining the
status of the II challenged votes was
left with he committee on canvass, a
sub committee of the whole commit
tee, composed Of four Grace and two
Hyde members. This committee
heard 130 witnesses and SO affidavits
on the challenged votes. Th. witness
'es were heard in secret, each witness
being examined separately, and the
challenged voter was not allowed to
hear the evidence against him. The
committee, on a strictly partisan vote,
accepted 80 of the II challenged votes
and threw out the others. OF these
80 votes, 26 were counted for Grace
II for Hyde and two for neither. No
action was taken on the Id alleged
"mutilated ballots"

The whole committee then adopted
the report of the subcommittee by the
usual fractional vote of 13 to IL and
rejected motion by William II. Grim
ball, a Hyde member Of the commit
tee, that all records and ballots be
placed in package under the seal of
the committee with the chairman to be
held for sixty days. This motion was
made in view of the possibility Of the
case getting into the courts.

amount of this class Of cotton carried
over from the last two seasons with
the principal consumers of these
grades bought ahead for several
months. The demand for the better
grades continues to strengthen and
the time is not far distant when a
farmer can get his price for the bet
ter grades. Cotton is now however,
above the minimum price set by the
American Cotton Association for
November. The latest crop predic-
tion made by the National Ginners
association sets the condition at So
with a yield of 1O,6o0,0OO and the
Journal of Commerce set the condition
at 48.1 with yield of 100000.

The case was brought into the Su-
preme Court on a petition for a writ
of certiorari, which was granted. The
petitioners alleged that the action of
the executive committee was illegal,
arbitrary and deprived them of their
just rights. The respondents oues-
TONED the jurisdiction of the Supreme
Court on the grounds that the matter
under controversy was only political
and should be left to the party ma
chinery for settlement and that the
Legislature has taken from the courts
the right to review actions of COM
mittees. The majority opinion over
ruled both of these contentious.
In the minority opinion, Justice
Watts held on this question that "the
question before usis essentially politi-
cal and not judicial in it's character
and the interference by the corrts is
dangerous and contrary to the liberty
Of voters and freedom of elections
and inimical Of the doctrines, rules
customs and usages of political par
ties"

The Wilson invitation was not limit

miners, who will attend the meeting
will include the international officers,

SUMMERTON BUREAU
HARRY E. COPELAND Correspondent

For the past several weeks the town
ct Summerton has been overshadowed
with cloud Of dust due to the extern
slve drought in this section since the
1lrst week of August. We have had
comparatively no rain, with the ex-
ception of two sprinkles. Consequent
ly everybody would feel greatly re-
freshed by good shower Of rain.
Now it has turned. cool all signs of
ram have passed and we are out for
another two weeks of dust The folks
IN the country have had an ideal sea-
son for gathering their crops, the
best on record for this section, and in
all probability it will be sometime be-
fore we have another season so we'll

The third attraction of the Lyccum
Course was held on Saturday evening
in the school auditorium before a
good crowd of folks from town and
the nearer community despite the fact
: that it was Saturday night and a
great portion of the business folk
could not attend on account of other
business. This number was reported
to have been splendid.

There is a movement on foot which
will form company in Summerton
to purchase the local telephone ex-

Company and operate same making
Sumter a toll station. This Company
is to be, as I understand same, to be
connected with company from Man
ming which proposes to purchase the
exchange at that place and act joint
ly with Summerton and improve the
service greatly. There is consider
able room for improvements in the
local exchange and there is great
demand for more phones. The ap-
paratus, lines ETC., Of the local eX-
change could stand a considerable
amount of repair which is in part re-
sponsibe for the poor service we have
had for the past year.

market for more than forty cents the
past week, only one bale reached this
high level, the majority of what was
sold brought around 38 to 80 cents.
