[News and Courier.]
Oolumbia, Nov. 14.--The State
board of canvassers met today, every
member having come in except Sec.
rotary of State Cooper, wvho is under
stood to be sick. Lieutenant (Gov
ernor Tillman;-vho was telegraphed
for yesterday, was also on hand, and
with mlemb)ers of the b)oardl present,
held a meeting mn accordance with
the law, when the board does not
meet at the proper time. The board
did nothing special beyond provid
ing for the tabulation of the returns,
which, thougii- small in numbers
comparatively; will take some time
to handle.
Miss Dwviht., of the attorney gen
oral's 'office, and1 Miss Walker,
of the Secretary of State's office,
were appointed clerks .to tabn
late the vote. The reason for the
* members not being on band yester
day was one that is aptly illustrated
by the saying, what is every body's
business is nlobody's4. 1Each of the
members thought that every other
member would be on hand and that
h is presence would be unnecessary
*the consequence being that no one,
excepting the State treasurer, was
there. The board adjourned for two
weeks to await the tabulation.

PRESS ROOM AT WHITE HOUSE.
President Sees to it that Newspaper Men
are Not Ignored.
Washington, November 17.-For
the first time in history the President:
of the United States has set apart a
room adjoining his own offices for
the exclusive use of the press. In
the new office building, west of the
White House, the correspondents
have a separate room, provided with
a huge oak table, chairs and three
telephones for their convenience.
The room adjoins the big central
waiting room, where all.callers gath.
er before they are admitted to the
office of the President or Secretary
Cortelyou.
The door of the presR room stands
open, and the man of consequence inf
politics, business or rank-who escapes
without being interviewed is fleet of
foot indeed. In the White House,
before it underwent its remodelling
process, when the President and his
clerical force were all quar.tered on
the second floor, the newspaper men
whose duty took them there had to
content theinselves with a table
placed at the eastern end of the gen.
eral waiting room. They had no
telephones at their disposal, and
when they wished to call up their
respective offices were obliged to go
into the "war room" and ask Col.
Montgomery's permission to use the
wire. Col. Montgomery's telephone
was often busy at the very time the
newspaper men wished to use it.
Now, with the thr'ee telephones at
band, Col. Montgomery's dignity will
uo be so frequently. disturbed, and
the business of sending important
"items'' to the uttermost ends of the
aarth wvill be greatly facilitated.
President. Roosevelt holds, perhaps,
more than any of his predecessors,
a warm place in his heart for the
newvspapecr fraternity. He has ap
pointed several of his, newspaper
friends to good position~s ini the pub.
lie service. He is exce'edinigly ap
proacihable anid ofton favors the cor
responidets with his political conil
dlences. When the new office build.
ing was platined it was quite natu
ral, therefore, that the President
abonld order a "press room"~ in the
most convenient location and of the
most commodions arrangement possi
ble with the appropuiation at hand.

rhe' members of the board are the
3ecretary of State, the comptroller
general, the attorney general, the
idjutant general, the State treas
urer, and chairman of the committee
?n elections of the house, who is this
instance is Mr. R. 0. Patterson, of
Barnwell.
When the time came for the board
to peet only one member appeared
State Treasurer Jennings. The law
provides that four members shall
3onstitute a quorum, but even these
3ould not be obtained today. The
Act further provides that in case a
luorum is not present then the lieu
~enant governor shall be summoned
md he with tbe members present
shall proceed to declare the vote.
[Lieutenant Governor Tillman was
.oday, therefore, duly notified by
elegraph that his presence was
iceded in Columbia and it is ex
eoted that he will arrive tomorrow.
It is said, though, that it will
nake no particular difference wheth
ar he gets' here tomorrow or next
lay or two weeks, so he does come
n1 a reasonable time, provision being
nade for his possible absence- from
he State. When he does come he
md Treasurer Jennings will form.
11ly declare the vote.
While it is certain that this neg
oct on the part of the State officials
ivill result in no harm to those State
>fficers who have been rebently
ilected, they having no opposition,
mud while the same thing may be
sid as to those congressmen who
pill have no contests on hand, it is
sonceivable that such an outcome
will do those congressmen .or those
:ounty officers who had oppositioni
o good, to say the least of it, and
t can be easily understood how such
songressmen may be embarrassed in
iolding their seats when the case is
shown up in a Republican congress.
No explanation is given here why
hose officials were away. Attorney
i*eneraml Bellinger went to Barn well
~o attend court in the Free case, but
A. is held that he should have come
L)ac'k for the more important dluty. If
tho others were away on official busi
ness no one here knows anything
of it.

A REMARKABLE CASE. I
Young Girl bles in New York Hospitil
After Continuous Sleep of Twenty
Days.
[Augusta Chronicle.]
Some days ago was published an
account of the mysterious case of
Nellie Corcoran in St. Vincent's hos
pital, New York. For days she had
lain in a sound sleep and no effort to
a':ouse her had succoeded.
The girl fell into her state of un
consciousness October 18 at the house t
where she was employed as a servant. t
At the hospital where she was taken '
heroic efforts to determine the
cause of her condition met with t
little success. Hundreds of physi. C
cians examined her, and every known
method was tried to awaken her, but C
with little success. Twvo or t,hree C
times she was aroused and spoke ar
few words, saying she was sleeping
and again became unconscious.
Electricity was applied and in se
vere applications, b)ut ineffectively.
Neurologists and pathologists tried '
to diagnose the girl's condition, but r
could not. Specialists of nearly i
every medical field were called in,t
but they arrived at no conclusions as
to the cause of the comas or its proper
diagnosis. It was even su1ggested -i
that someone had by pnotized her
and efforts to throwv off such a spoii
wvere made, but to no0 purpose. 1Her
temperature increasedi rapidly, she i
became emaciated1 anid finally stopped C
breath ing, after having slept 20 days. i
There was an autopsy, but nothing
was discovered in the condition of d
the organs to account for the strange 6
sleep. The brain was kept for ex- 1
amination by specialists on that or
gan and it is believed the secret wvill C
be dliscovered there.

The negro, Bostick, arrested in
Ldgefield, charged with incendiar
sm, was brought bore and is now
afely lodged wit Lin the penitentiary.
'he story that his captors brought.
iere is, howerer, considerably differ
nt from tba one published. One of
he captors said that the sheriff iu
endad to board thetrain at Trenton
7ith the negro, but hearing that a
aob was coming after him, he took
o the woods and made a long, tedi
'us, circuitous route, coming to (Jo
umnbia via Branchville. One of t.he!
aptors said this routo was taken in
rder to "avoid Jim Tillman and his
sob," asserting that they had heard,1
n what they believed to be reliable
uthority, that the lieutenant gov
rnor was leading a crowd bent on
ynching the negro. Whether there
ras anything in the story or not, the
