CRUM IS DOWN.
Senatar Tillman Forces the Withdrawal
of His Name.
A NOTABLE VICTORY
For Senator Tillman, Who, With
the, A hi of the Other Democrats,
Forres the llepuhlirniis to CJive
Up Kflfort to Force Cram on Char
Icston ?s Collector.
Washington, Fob. 9.?Senator Tillman
today put the nails In Crum's
. political collin when he secured a
promise from Senator Fry, chairman
of commit toe on commerce, charged
with the duty of handling the
nomination, that no further effort
would he made to confirm Crum at
the present session of Congress.
Senator Tillman got the lloor soon
after the Senate went into executive
session, and after speaking for
an hour. Senator Fry announced that
as it was evident that the South Carfilflifi
S?i?11 i 11r u* u a inet t\?\cvi v> ?\ 1 ? 1? ? '
V....... .... II 1 I'M. <t."
would say that under such circuin- I
stances it would he impossible to put
the (hum nomination through.
Senator Tillman did not at first
understand Senator Fry. He stopped
his speech and asked him what ho
meant.
Senator Fry replied that he would
not push the matter further, because
there was no apparent chance to
make the nomination stick.
Senator Tillman then left the Senate
chamber and other business was j
taken up.
The fact that Senator Fry has
announced that he will not push
the case further is a complete victory
for Senator Tillman. In all ho has
spoken more than eight hours on
the case. When he began the task
of defeating Crum ten days ago,
many Senators said that it could not
be done, that President Rosevelt
would fight through Senators Ix>dge,
Fry and others. It would he absolutely
impossible to block the nomination,
and that it would put the
people of Charleston in a hotter light
if they would gracefully submit and
make no further fight.
Senator Tillman took the opposite
view, and went to work to fight as
long as there was fighting ground.
In the beginning few of his colleagues
were disposed to take part
in the matter, but dav hv ilav morn
have come to his rescue until during
the past few days practically all the
Democratic strength of the Senate
has been lined up with him in the
fight.
Several days ago Senator Tillman
announced that ho was not interested
in what became of Crum hereafter,
that he could got any job ho
might desire, and that his only purpose
was in waging a successful fight
for the people of Charleston in the
determination to prevent Crum from
being again forced upon them. So
far as he knows there has been no
trade suggested, and ho only wants
Crum ousted from the collector's
office.
The way the matter stands now,
Crum will have to lie nominated
again, and it is not believed by those
familiar with the situation that President-elect
Taft has any idea of doing
so.
A few days ago certain circumstances
arose, which lent something
of a mystery to the case, and this
led to a belief that Mr. Taft had urged
Senator Fry to push the case. It
is almost certain now that he will
not name Crum for another term.
Today's action apparently ends the
case with Senator Tillman, and the
people of Charleston who have furn(ot,n,l

make the fight, the victory.
Senator Tillman would not discuss
the matter tonight other than to
say: "We have won out."

of $1,200,000.
They claim to employ over 9.000 '

bookkeepers, packers and handlers
of merchandise, etc. Add to this |
the interest on the money invested
in the stock of merchandise which
they claim amounts to $7,000,000,

oral expenses 1,000,000

Making a total estimate
expense of $8,800,000
Assuming that they have sold during
the year $30,000,000 of merchandise,
this would mean an average
expense of 27 2-3 per cent on their
entire trade. Very few merchants
have an expense account exceeding
la per cent. Most of them who have
no exceptionally large business are
able to conduct it on a much smaller
basis.
With this statement of facts it is
readily seen that the second item
of cost, as stated above, is at least
10 per cent greater to the catalog
house than to the retail merchant,
therefore the only other item in the
cost of the goods to the user is the
11 ~ c A
iii* 111 ui prom.
The two leading catalogue houses
in Chicago were started by men of
small means. These men today are
millionaires. Sears, Roebuck & Co.
are capitalized as a corporation, with
$40,000,000 of capital stock, on
which they pay a dividend of 8 per
cent, which would equal $8,200,000
or about 1 I per cent of their sales.
There is scarcely a merchant in
the country in any line of trade who
averages a net profit of 10 per cent
on the sales of his entire business.
Most of them would be glad with a
net profit of G per cent on their total
yearly sales. The expense account
of the catalogue houses will average
at least 10 per cent more than th?
expense account of the merchant,
while the per cent of profit of the
catalogue house has been very much
larger than that of the retail mcr(>ii
<i n
The claim made by the mail order
houses that they are able to buy
goods so much cheaper than retail
dealers is not a reasonable claim,
except that they are always willing
to take goods that are just a little
bit inferior in quality to standard
brands.
Ilefore sending your order to a
mail order house in Chicago or elsewhere,
take your list and catalogue
to your local dealer and ask him
to duplicate it for the price mentioned,
plus freight, etc. Allow him
the same privilege of putting up
your goods without your seeing them,
and lie will do so, and you can
rest assured your order will be quickly
filled and equally as well.
When you consider that when the
Pure Food and Drug law went into
effect some of the largest mail order
houses cut out their drug department,
the most profitable part of
- their business, as being no longer
profitable, you can readily understand
what kind of drugs were be,
ing sold by them.
You did not hear of any of the
drug stores in your town closing for
. that reason, did you?
Is it plain to you now?

HYDR1CK NAMED
For Associate Justice on the
Thirty-Eighth Ballot
BY LARGE MAJORITY
Over Mr. J. S. Cathron, Who Ih u
Member of the House of Representative
From (ireenvillo County.
How tlio Members Voted 011 the
Last Ballot, When Ily?lriek Won.
Columbia, Feb. 12.?A deadlock
lasting through thirty-seven ballots
was broken last night by tin? election
of 1). E. Hydrick. of Spartanburg,
as Associate Justice of fhe State Supreme
Court to succeed Ira B. Jones,
who was recently elected Chief Justice
of the same Court. The following
account of the election is
taken from The State:
It became apparent during the ballot
taken the day before and the
ballots taken yesterday morning that
Mr. Ilvdriek was training riniillv mul
with Messrs Cathron and Sheppard
still in the race the ballot would
have been indefinitely prolonged and
that legislation would have been
blocked.
It was no surprise, therefore,
when Senator Weston announced
last night that he was authorized
to withdraw the name of Mr. John
C. Sheppard. Mr. Sheppard had
received a magnificent vote and ho
was gratified with t lie support of
his friends, but he felt that jt would
he but prolonging a final decision to
allow bis name to be used longer.
Mr. Weston and other members
of the Richland delegation then cast
their votes solidly for Mr. Hydrick
and with the other changes it was
shown early In the final collection
that Mr. Cathron was defeated.
Mr. Cathron Is one of the most
popular members of the Mouse. Mo
had strong support from the time
of his entry. The name of John
C. Sheppared also carried a large
number of members and Mr. Hydrick
had from the start a strong organization.
Therefore it was evident that
there would be a deadlock until one
of these three names was withdrawn.
The ballots taken yesterday were
as follows:
First ballot?Cothran, 48; Mydrick,
63; Sheppard, 50.
Second ballot?Cothran, 47; Hydrick,
68; Sheppard, 46.
Third ballot?Cothran, 47; Hydrick,
71; Sheppard, 43.
Fourth ballot?Cothran, 10; Hy
drick, 75; Sheppard, 46.
| After this ballot the name of Mr.
Sheppard was withdrawn and the
final ballot resulted as follows:
Cothran, 57; Hydrick, 103.
The election of Mr. Hydrick was
then formally announced. The elevation
of Mr. Hydrick as associate
justice means the election of a circuit
court judge for nls unexpired
term.
