Columbia, Feb. 17.?The \ssoelftte Justice deadlock remains unbroken but by tome members It t<i thought that the end la near. Judge Mem mlnger who at the outset of the bal? loting was easily leader among the candidates has lost steadily a few votes at a time until he is now in third pace, fifteen votes behind Mr. Fr?ser who Is only two votes behind Judge Watts. The first and second ballots today resulted In a still further oss by Memmlnger and a gain of ono vote by Fr?ser. Judge Watts received one vote less than yesterday. The first and second ballot today resulted as follows: Memmlnger. 46, 43. Watts. ?0. ?0. Fraser. 65, 58. The third b ilh-t today ended with no election r. oiltlng and no changes In the senate vote at all. Memmlnger 4 1 Watts, 62, Fraser 57; necessary for a ( holes II. Columbia, Feb 18.?Mr. Doar's resolution In behalf of the Fraser forces, to take five more ballots Sat? urday for Associate Justice, instead of deferring pnrther balloting until next year, was voted down in the housa Saturday m orning by the combination of Watts a.ul Memmlnger force* which succeeded Friday in carrying the election over to next year. The vote by which the Doar resolution was put to sleep Saturday was 68 to 15. Mr. Doar and Speaker Smith had entered on the Journal their reason for voting to continue the balloting, which was that they thought It the general assembly's duty to elect a Justice at this time, even if that should necessitate an extenalon of the session. By a vote of 48 to 39 there was lost, Saturday, a motion In the house by Mr. Brlce. of Chester, to suspend a house />u)e which forbids the reading of any bill for a third time on the day fixed for adjournment. Defeat of this motion meant the death of the Senate slander bin, based on rumors degrogatory to a candidate which were circulated during the last State political c mpalgn and also put to sleep a number of other measures.

New berry Herald and News. Displaying a very high order of courage. 23 members of the junior class of Newberry college, who had made written demand upon the fa? culty for the reinstatement of a mem? ber of the class, who had been sus? pended, threatening to leave in a body unless the faculty acceded to the demand, as the result of which the entire 23 were suspended on Friday afternoon until the demand was with? drawn and sutable acknowedgement made to the faculty, on Saturday morning withdrew the paper which they had sent the faculty, acknow? ledged the error of their course, and Immediately became once more mem brs of the student body. Several days ago for an offense which the faculty decided must sub? ject the offending student to a severe lesson, the student was suspended. At the faculty meeting on Friday, 23 of the remaining 27 members of the Jun? ior class sent to the faculty a paper to the effect that the suspended stu? dent had been unjustly suspended and demanding that he be reinstated, stat? ing that if the faculty did not take this action the 23 signers of the paper would leave. The faculty saw but (.no course open, and took this course. The 23 no-mbers of the ( lass were Immediate? ly suspended until the demand was withdrawn and suitable amends mailr and the suspened^ students were re? quired to leave the campus immediate? ly Friday afternoon and Friday night the matter was generally discussed. Dr< Go. B. i'romer. former president g| the college, burning of the trou? ble, had a talk with the students who bad sent In the paper, and on Friday night the students decided to with? draw it, and to act ed, to all the de? mands of the faculty, which they did. Not the least friction remains, and the matter has been ended once for all. In the manner in which the sit? uation was handled, no harm has re? sulted?miner the atmosphere is elrarer.

Cononreonl R Solution Adopted by Dotli lli-unclies Of legislature l'rt vents Further Balloting for Fifth Member of Supreme Court Vntil Next session ? Governor Cannot Appoint. Columbia, Feb. IT.?The judicial election took a sudden and fatal turn this afternoon. The balloting is over and there will be no fifth Associate Justice for a year. There were symp? toms of such action this morning, but it was not until the afternoon ?Cation that the final blow was given and, as one member expressed it, the respective nominees could "sleep in peace tonight." It all happened like this: The Sen? ate adopted and sent the House a resolution fixing noon tomorrow as the hour for adjournment. This is the same hour fixed for the voting to? morrow, and the balloting and ad? journing cannot very well happen at the same instant. This morning Mr. Stevenson suggested that the adjourn? ment resolution had better remain on tap until tomorrow. This afternoon, when the House reassembled, he was all agog to adopt It exactly as the Senate had fixed it. Mr. Doar thought this was taking a "Gotch hold" on the election of an Associate Justice, and Mr. Belser went on to add that it looked like a concerted effort to paralyze what was thought to be the Fraser boom. Mr. Gary came to the rescue of Mr. Stevenson and argued that members wanted to go home on the noon trains and that there was no use to delay action on the adjournment resolution. Then came Mr. Ashley, who has been a Wattl advocate, who insisted that he and every one else was tired trying to elect an Associate Justice and that he, too, wanted to go home. Mr. D. L-. Smith said that he had been very anxious to see an Associate Justice elected, but the members had not done so, and the time had come to quit and go home and he was for going home. Mr. Doar thought that the suggest ion of getting a "Gotch hold" on the election was wrong and thought the members ought to try a few ballots on the election tomorrow. Mr. Smith said that he had positive Information that the friends of tho three candi dates were going to stand pat to morrow, and he saw no use of fur ther effort. Mr. Stevenson and Mr. ltembert suggested that the State had gotten along for years with four members of the Supreme Court, and that they supposed It could do so for another year. The House then, by an al? most unanimous vote, (some say it was all the Memmlnger and Watts votes and many of the tired Fraser advocates who voted for the resolu? tion. > passed the measure fixing noon tomorrow for adjournment. All the same, th ?lutlon was overwhol mlngly udoptedi and then to add to the security it was ( limbed, and in that way cannot be taken up again ? xcept by unanimous conseat. Speaker Smith, who did not seem phased with the Gotch hold proceed? ings, announced that when the houi of noon arrived tomorrow that be would adjourn the House and that h meant what he said. There have been twenty-seven bal lots for Associate Justice without an election. The balloting continued pretty much the tame as heretofore and without material loss or change in the votet of any one of the three candidates, Today, for Instance, In the three ballots, there was not a (hange from start to finish in the VOtet of any one of the 43 Senators. The Question has been asked: What will occur now that there will be no election.' Under the terms of the Act it is provided that the General Assembly shall elect the fifth Asso? ciate Juttice and that is all there is to it. The Governor cannot appoint and the Supreme Court would have to continue Its Work as at present constituted.
