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.
