Blouse Voted tor Irby on All Hut Olio Ballot-Jones Voted for Irby. (Columbia Record. At the Red shirt mooting In tho Columbia theatre Wednesday night, In his address to tho followers of Wade Hampton in 1876, Governor Cole L. M lease elicited great ap plause by his declaration that as a member of tho House ol' Representa tives in I Situ he had voted for Wade Hampton for Senator. An examina tion of the Journal of tho House of Represen I ntl voa for that year shows that while Mr. R lease did vote for Hampton on tho rust ballot, which was purely formal, he voted on all succeeding ballot- for John L. M. irby, who was elected over Hampton on the se ven I h ballot. The Journal shows that in accord ance with the Federal law each House balloted separately for Sena tor on Tuesday, December !>, 1890. The vote in the House stood; For Hampton, :i 1 ; for Irby, f><); for Donaldson, 33; for .1. J. Hcmphill. -'; for E. S. Keltt, 2; for G. D. Tillman. I ; Tor Robert Smalls. 3. None ol' tho candidates received a majority, either in House? or Senate, and in ac cordance with the law, the two Houses met. In joint assembly tho following day, when the first joint ballot was taken. The Journal for Wednesday, De cember IO, 1S?M), pages 221 to 223, shows that on this, the second bal lot, Irby received 63 votes; Donald son 45, Hamilton 42, Hcmphill 3, and i Smalls 1. Those recorded as voting for Irby (page 22 2) are as follows: "Alderman. Bissett, Blake, Please, Browning, Buchanan, BulBt," etc. The third ballot, on Thursday, Do cember ll, 1800, pages 24 1 and 245 of the Journal, shows again that Blease voted for Irby, as ho did on the other three ballots taken the same day, December ll, which wiu tho seventh ballot In all, Irby was elected, the vote standing as follows: Irby 105, Donaldson 9, Hampton Bl; 1 necessary to a choice, 79. The record therefore shows that I while Mr. Blease did vote for Wade j Hampton, on the first formal ballot In the House, he did not. vote-for him ? at all In the joint assembly, when the really decisive ballots were taken, but voted fer Irby each time-six In all. It ls interesting to note that Ira II. Jones, then also a member of the House, and now candidate for Gover nor against Mr. Blease, voted for Irby all the way through, having been ap pointed chairman of the ways and means committee by Irby, who was then Speaker, and Jones succeeded Irby as Speaker when Irby resigned to take Hampton's place.

Tin; official an nouncement was made late lids after noon. lt declared that tho two countries wore In a state of war beginning at half past two o'clock on rho after noon of Friday, September u!Hh. This ls the hour at which the Ital ian ultimatum to Turkey expired, lt followed a session of the cabinet at which the Turkish re|)ly was consid ered and found unsatisfactory. 'though every indication pointed to this action by the royal govern ment, there was always a possibility that the good od?eos of other govern ments would be successful in avoid ing hostility, and when the filial de cision of the cabinet was announced the excitement throughout the city was intense. Throughout the earlier hours of the day the papers had Issued special editions announcing that the Italian licet was moving in plain sight of the coast of Tripoli and Intimating that war might be declared at any mo ment. The minister of foreign affairs. Signor di San Guilano, received the Turkish reilly from the Turkish am bassador this morning, and Immedi ately went into conference with his associates in thc ministry. It ls un derstood that the Ottoman govern ment completely conceded Italy's economic plans in Tripoli, but evaded a direct answer demanded by this government, which had set forth In Its ultimatum that Turkey must say that she would not resist the propos ed occupation of Tripoli and Cyrenne. Instead the port sent a conciliatory ?ote suggesting further delay, lt was known at the same time Turkey transmitted a note to the powers, In which lt ls assumed that she repre sented herself as the Injured party, and by Inference, at least, sought their Intervention. The royal government decided to stand absolutely by Its ultimatum yesterday, and, In the absence of re ply called for, declaro Italy and Tur key In a state of war from the hour that the ultimatum of 24 hours ex pired. Trouble Dates Back to 187H. The trouble between Italy and Tur key, which culminated this afternoon lu a declaration of war at Rome, dates back to 1878. when, with tho making of the treaty concluding the Russo-Turkish war, the powers are understood to have agreed to permit Italy a "pacific penetration of Trip oli." Turkey claims this right has been respected ever since. Italy has colonized Tripoli until her Interests in that African prov ince aro very great. She has assert ed, however, that her subjects have been mistreated by the Ottoman au thorities and constantly discriminat ed against. Frequent disputes have arisen. Beauty's Ministries.

C., Sept. 20.-A the ory which has been advanced In re gard to (ho Myrtle Hawkins mystery al Hendersonvllle, hy many people of this city, who have watched the case closely, ls that the young lady is alive to-day and that the body which was found in Lake Osceola, on which wore found her clothes and jewels, was one which had been placed there by some one other than a "murder er." Many reasons are advanced for this belief, among them being that Myrtle never wore the cloak in which the body supposed to be hers was found, and that it was used on this occasion for a "bluff." Another ls the one expressed by a local physician to the effect that a body would not be so decomposed as to bo unrecognizable In the space of three days, as the body which is said to have been hers was.
