Lieutenant Gov eIo Tillman, who was telegraphed d, was also oa hand, and members of the board present, a meeting in accordance with law, when the board does not m ueet at-the proper time. The board did nothing special beyond provid ing for the tabulationl of the returns, which, thsgb small' in numbers comparatively, will take some time to handle. ssp Dwight, of the attorney gen ~eraN offce, arnd Miss Walker, .o te Secretary of State's offce, 'ere 'apointed clerks to tabu a1t. the vote. The reason for the nmembers not being on band yester day was one that is aptly illustrated by the sagie what is everybody's thesiness is nobody'". Each of the aniembers thought that every other uneimber would be on band and that his 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. NO MEETING ON APPOINTED DAY. Columbia, Nov. 13.-The evils of offiial .absenteeism were never miore positively shown than they were to day, when the State board of can vassers could r,ot me&et to declare the result of tbe recent election because only one memiber was present. Snehi neglect of a most im)pcrtant dnty is inexplicable. Ord itzari ly the aver age citizen hardly knows of any other election except the primary and probably offcials are just as apt;i to forget othe.r elections also, but in thia case the.re is no such excuse, for on the 11th instant Clerk Me Coan, of tbe secretary of State's offie, offiially notified each member of the board that a meeting would ,ha held today at noon and for what iocU Talk Noi ou know like to , Bright New Stu rom headquarte in the world.

Today is the time required by law for the vote to be canvassed. fhe members of the board are the secttry olE Stage, the comptroller general, the attorney general, the adjutant general, the State tres rer, and chairman of the committee on elections of the house, who is this instance ia Mr..R. 0. Patterson, of Batwell. When the time came for the board o ipeet oply one mapber appeared State Treasurer Jennings. The law provides that four members shall ontitute a quorum, but even these ould not be obtained today. The Act further provides that in-ease a qorum is Dot present then the lieu tnant governor shall be summoned ad he with the members present hall proceed to declare the vote. ieutenant Governor Tillman was oday, therefore, duly notified by elegraph that his presence was eeded in Columbia and it is ex eted that he will arrive tomorrow. It is said, though, that it will ake no particular difference wheth r he gets her~e - tomorrow or next ay or two weeks, so he does come n a reasonable time, provision being ade for his possible absence from the State. When he does come he nd Treasurer JeDnings will form lly declare the vote. While it is certain that this neg et on the part of the State officials will result in no harm to those State officers who have been recently eeted, they having no opposition; nd while the same thing may be said as to those etngressmen who will have no contests on hand, it is onceivable that such an outcome will do those congressmen or those ounty officers who had opposition~ o good, to say the least of it, and it can be easily understood how such ongressmen may be embarrassed in holding their seats when the case is shown up in a Republican congress. No explanation is given here why these officials were away. Attorney General Bellinger went to Barnwell to attend court in the Free case, but it is held that he should have come back for the more important duty. If the others were away on official busi ness no one here knows anything of it. A Kansas man boasts of running the only strictly third-class hotel in the country.

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 waitipg room, where all callers gath er before they are admitted to the office of the President or Secretary Cortelyou. The door of the press room stands open, and the man of consequence in 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 quartered on the second floor, the newspaper men 'those duty took them there had to content themselves 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 three telephones at hand, Col. Montgomery's dignity will no be so frequ-ntly disturbed, and the business of sending important "items'' to the uttermost ends of the! earth will be greatly facilitated. President Roosevelt holds, perhaps, more than any of his predecessors, a warm place in his heart for the newspaper fraternity. He has ap pointed several of his newspaper friends to g.'od positions in the pub lie service. He is exc.-edingly ap proachable a:nd often favors the cor respondents with his political conti deuces. Whben thbe new office buiLd .igwas planned it was quite natu ral, therefore, that the President sould order a "press room" in the most convenient location and of the most commodions arrangement possi ble with the appropiiation at hand.

Young Girl Dies in New York Hospital After Continuous Sleep of Twenty Days. [Augusta Chronlcle.] Some days ago was published an account of the mysterious case of Nellie Corcoran in St. Vin cent's hos pital, New 'York. For days she had lain in a sound sleep and no effort to arouse her had succeeded. The girl fell into her state of un consciousuess October 18 at the house where she was employed as a servant. At the hospital where she was taken eroic efforts to determine the ause of her condition met with little success. Hundreds of physi ians examined her, and every known method was tried to awaken her, but with little success. Two or three times she was aroused and spoke a few words, saying she was sleeping and again became unconscious. Electricity was applied and in se vere applications, but ineffectively. Neurologists and pathologists tried to diagnose the girl's condition, but ould not. Specialists of nearly every medical field were called in, but they arrived at no conclusions as to the cause of the coma or its proper diagnosis. It was even suggested 1 that someone had hy pnotized her and1 efforts to throw off such a spell were made, but to no purpose. Her temperature increased rapidly, she became emaciated and finally stopped ~ breathing, after having slept 20 days. There was an autopsy, but nothing was discovered in the condition of the organs to account for the strange sleep. The brain was kept for ex-1 mination by specialists on that or an and it is believed the secret will >e discovered there. Pointed Paragrphs.

[News 'and Courier.] The negro, Bostick, arrested in Edgefield, charged with incendiar sm., was brought here and is now ~afely lodged within the penitentiary.. 'ho story that his captors brought, ere is, however, considerably differ at from the one published. One of he captors said that the sheriff in-! ended to board the train at Trenton ith the negro, but hearing that a ob was coming aftor him, he took 0 t:he woods and made a long, tedi-' rnus, circuitous route, coming to Co abia via Branchville. One of the' ~aptors said this route was taken in rder to "avoid Jim Tillman and his ob," asserting that they had heard, n what they believed to be reliable uhority, that the lieutenant gov ~rnor was leading a crowd bent on ynhingthe negro. Whether there as anything in the story or not, the egro's captors believed it, else they* ould not have taken such precan ions to elude the lynceuing party.
