O ?J J WEDNESDAY, NOV. 28, 1894. ?fco? -Vtpte^?&i VW' *' te? The State Board of Canvassers met yesterday, with Gen. Ellerbe and Sec? retary of State Tindal still absent. Murray had no case, and asked the board to decide the question on an ab? stract proposition of law. The board is adhering to the letter of section 186 of the election law. The section is as follows : "Upon such statements they shall proceed to determine and declare what persons have been, by the greatest comber of votes, daly elected to snob offices, or either of them. They shall have power, and it is made their doty as judicial officers, to decide all eases under protest or contest that may come before them on appeal from the decis? ions of the county board of canvass? ers." The chairman announced that the board would not consider any evidence Dot submitted to the county boards below or any appeals, which did not come op regularly from below. Wheeler, Murray's attorney, claimed that the Charleston Board bad declined to receive certain affidavits beariog on the protest io that county. Coi. Elliott stated that Murray should have filed some sort of notice of appeal if be bsd any case. After a long discussion, the board adopted the following resolution. Resolved, That after hearing all points and considering all papers pre? sented in the ease between Messrs Murray and Elliott, it is the opinion 1 of this board that the complaint has 1 not been sustained, and the ease is. i therefore dismissed; Io the ease of Evans vs. Latina er the following waa adopted : Resolved, That the appeal ease of j Evans vs. Latimer he dismissed. i In this ease also the only. question presented was an abstract legal propo- ! cition bearing on the counting and col? or of tickets. The dispote over the election is the Seventh District waa disposed of by the following resolution : Resolved, That insofar as the elec? tions held at Gadsden and Eastover are concerned io the ease of Jo ho s too ve. Stokes, it is the optoion of ftbe board so far as it is DOW informed that the elec? tion was irregular and of don bi ful val? idity, hot at the request of counsel on both sides of said case, the board con? sents to tKe counting of said votes io said contests, and that they shall he incorporated io the retaros. Meeting of Cotton Growers Tile Roddey Flan Discussed. ATLANTA, Ga , Nov. 21.-AD im? partant meeting of cotton growers representing several States occurred in Atlanta, They were called here to consider a plan recently suggested by J. T. Rod dey, a cotton broker of New York, for con troll io g the price of cotton. The meeting was presided over by jfectorD. Lane, commissioner of agri? culture of Alabama. After some discussion, the plan as announeed by Mr. Roddey was, on mo? tion, recommended, Chairman Lane and ODO or two others dissenting. A committee was appointed consisting of J. T. Roddey, H. S. Lipscomb, of Sooth Carolina, and J. E. Nun nally, of Georgia, to eal! county and State conventions for the electioo of delegates to an interstate convention to.be held at a time and ?>lace to be agreed upon by i&e committee. Mr. Roddey's plan ss explained by him, is to form a combination of the cotton growers with a capital of $50, Q0O.00O cr $100,000,000. Each cot? ton proa acer is to contribute ooe bale out of every five made to the trust. Estimating the crop at 8.000,000 bales, this plan would stock the trust with 1,600.000 bales, the withdrawal of which from thc market, it is urged will appreciate the price 25 per cent. One general office is proposed with branch offices and warehouses at all cotton re? ceiving points. The gins in every county are to be listed and if possible, controlled so as-to know the exact pro? duction and to regulate the supply of cotton. In regard to the management of the company, it is to have one general or head office, say in New York or New Orleans, with two general directors from each cotton growing State ; have one office in each State with one direc? tor from each county io that State and have sub-offices in all the principal cities and towns io the different States :o control the local cotton, all to be controlled by the general or bead of? fice ; have either a special insurance company organized, or the present com? panies brought to a low rate ; let com? pany warehouse receipts be issued with insurance policies and if the farmer needs money, let the company advance him five-eights or two thirds of the value of bis warehouse receipts. So much wheat is grown these days, and the splendid mills convert it into flour so fast, that there is an overpro? duction of the material for bread. Flour was never cheaper and better than it is now, and yet a clamor is beard in crowded centers for bread. If money is wasted on what is not necessary to sustain life, and the j means are lacking to those io need, the blame for it must not be laid at the doors of those who produce enough to satisfy the hunger of all. T?e Pride of China's Navy Sunk. WASHINGTON, NOV. Department has aa : o announcing that the Chinese battle ship Chen Yuen, the most,, formidable vessel io the Chiueser Navy, was dam? aged by torpedo OD leaving Wel-Hai Wei, the 18tb iost&ot. aod was beached and is now useless. Commodore Lin, in command of the Cheo Yuen, committed suicide after the disaster. The Chen Yoeo was a magnificent fighting machine very mach after our own battleship Maine, She was built io Europe in 1882 and was of 7,430 ton's displacement. It would appear from the brief statement of facts in the cablegram that the ship fell a victim to ooe of the torpedoes planted by the Chinese themselves to guard the en? trance to Wei-Hai-Wei. which was the last of the great naval strongholds of the Empire save Port Arthur, DOW tot* teriug to its fall. It was as well that Commodore Jjio committed suicide, for he would doubt? less have been decapitated as the re? sult of his error. It is believed here that this loes bas deprived the Chinese Davy of its offensive power. There re mains the Ting Yuen, another powerful battleship, and a few lesser ironclads, but without the aid of the Chen Yuen, they .would hardly dare, to make, an offensive campaign, and probably will remain tn port to assist ^ tbe%defense. -- - , . mmmi r -V~^ | The Parkish authorities have seized OD tfce frontier most of the English, French, Russian, German aod Greek newspapers pf issues from.
