Trial of Bareli for Murder of Tyler
in Wilkes Cottnfy.
Washington, Ga., Dec. 21.—The twice
adjourned November term of Wilkes’
Superior Court was convened yester
day for the purpose of trying the case
of T. C. Burch, charged with the mur
; der of Charles Tyrer last July, while
the latter was at the supper table with
his wife, but after considerable delay
in an effort to get together all the wit
nesses in the case, Judge Holden found
it necessary to postpone the case for
the third time within as many months.
The case was appointed for hearing
at the next regular term of the court.
Judge Holden took occasion to ex
press himself in no uncertain terms in
regard to the matter of witnesses block
ing the wheels of justice by their
delinquency, and declared that he
would impose a heavy fine upon every
delinquent witness, should there be any,
when the case comes up for hearing
in May. The county has been put to
a heavy expense by the frequent con

visible results to show for the extra
expenditure.

CRUMPAKER WILL
HAVE TO WAIT
FAILURE OF HIS CRUSADE..
COTTON CAUSING MORE WORRY
THAN RACE PROBLEM.
Ceoritians Not Losing Any Sleep
Over Crmti poker’. Resolution.
The Cotton Problem Is Uppermost
In tlie Minds ot Southern People
Now—Senator Latimer Says thr
Difficulty Is Too Much Cotton.
By R. M. turner.
Washington, Dec. 21.—Southern con
gressmen, who are well informed on
the sayings and doings at the National
Capital, are not surprised that Repre
sentative Crumpaker of Indiana, has
been obliged to abandon all hope of
securing action during the present ses
sion. on his pet measure to reduce
Southern representation, as a solution
of the race problem. Senator Bailey,
as was stated, announced the
of the Crumpaker crusade, two weeks
ago. It was not guess work on t'Kc
part of the Senator from Texas, but
it was the result of a political talk he
had with the Republican leaders of
the Senate.
Representative Howard of Georgia,
who keeps in touch with what is going
on at both ends of the Capitol, has
contended from the beginning of the
session, that nothing would be done
with the Crumpaker resolution in this
Congress.
No Sleep Lost In Georgia.
“Down in Georgia," said Mr. How
ard, "we are not losing any sleep over
the subject of reduction of our rep
resentation. either in the House of
Representatives or in the Electoral
College. We are capable of dealing
with the race problem, but just now
we are terribly worried about our cot
ton. If some broad-minded statesman
would come forward and suggest some
practical method by which we might
dispose of our cotton at a fair value,
we might be willing to submit to a
induction in our representation, un
der certain conditions. The cotton
problem is causing some of us more
unrest than the race problem. We
know how to prevent negro domination,
but we are at a loss what to do with
our cotton at the present market
price.”
Little Relief Expected.
But little, if any, relief is anticipated
from favorable action on Representa
tive Livingston’s resolution to investi
gate the cotton crop reports given out
by the Department of Agriculture. That
subject has been thrashed out so many
times that no practical result is like
ly to accrue to those who have grown
too much cotton.
Senator Latimer, of South Carolina,
says the difficulty is that too much
cotton was planted last year, and the
small growers unloaded their cotton on
the landlords and brokers at a period
when the price of cotton was about 9
or 10 cents. Senator Latimer has some
of the cotton on hand now that he
bought from his tenants ’at that figure.
He had no idea at that time that the
price was going to take such a slump.
Several of his tenants paid off back
debts of, 'years with this year’s cfop.

GOING TO RICHMOND.
Roosevelt nn Invitation
from the Southvru Capital.
Washington, Dec. 21. President
Roosevelt to-day accepted an invita
tion to visit the flity of Richmond,
Va., some time during the approaching
year. The invitatiqp, was extended by
a delegation representing the city gov
ernment of Richmond and including
the Mayor, members of the City Coun
cil and Board of Aldermen and a mem
ber of the ; Virginia Legislature.
The delegation was headed by Carl
ton McCarthy, Maycft* of the city, and
consisted of W. H. Curtis, R. L. Peters,
M. R. Milts, E. H. Spence, J A. Hob
son and G. K. Pollock, councllmen; J.
B. Wood, J. B. Miner. Robert Wittett,
Jr., and R. H. Grundy. aldermen: S.
Lee Kelly of the Legislature and CL C.
Ruskell, sergeant-qt-arms of the Coun
cil and Board of Aldermen. At the
White House the delegation was join
ed by Senator Daniel and Thomas Nel
son Page.
The Pfesident received the delegation
cordially, each member being present
ed to him personally, Mayor McCar
thy presented the invitation in a brief
address in cordial terms, concluding
with a promise of “such a welcome as
the world would expect a brave, gen
erous and hospitable people to extend
to one of your exalted position and
character.”
The President in response told the
delegation it would afford him pleas
ure to visit the people of Richmond
at as early a date as practicable, but
at this time he could not fix a time
definitely for the visit. He indicated,
however, that it would be some time
during the ensuing year, perhaps in
the spring, but probably a little later.

A Perfunctory Proceeding Whirl,
Always Attracts n Crowd of Visi
tors—Font 25 Cents n Mile to t’nrry
tile Vote of the Various Ntntes
from the Place of Meeting of the
Electors to Washington.
By R. M. Larner.
Washington, Dec. 21.—A group of
congressmen, who are deeply Interest
ed in the probable fate of the river
and harbor bill and the prospects of
favorable legislation on various pub
lic building bills now tied up in com
mittee, were having a heart to heart
talk yesterday about the difficulty of
getting appropriations for the practi
cal purposes. One of the members
picked up "House Doc. No. 51,” which
estimates the expenses in connection
with the formal announcement of the
electoral vote for President and Vice
President, which is to take place in
the Hall of the House of Representa
tives on Feb. 8 next.
Cost of Coining Electoral Vote.
The document shows that it will
cost an even $14,000 to pay the mes
sengers of the various states for con
veying to Washington the votes of
the electors of said states. These
messengers receive 25 cents for every
mile of the estimated distance by the
most usual roads traveled from the
place of meeting of the electors. In
addition to the expense of the mes
sengers, an allowance of $1,500 for
printing the ascertainment of the
electors. It was the unanimous opin
ion of all the members of the group,
that In view of the result of the elec
tion, that amount of money might be
expended more judiciously and to a
better advantage In some other di
rection.
Ceremony of the Count.
Their observations, however, will not
prevent the usual ceremony of count
ing the electoral vote being held at the
Capitol on the date mentioned. Al
though It is a* stilt, perfunctory pro
ceeding, it always attracts a great
crowd, besides It has to be done ac
cording to the constitution. The sena
tors march over to the House and
take front seats. The president of the
Senate presides over the two houses In
Joint session. Two tellers on the part
of each body read the certificates al
ternately as they are opened by the
president of the Senate. The certifi
cates are acted upon in alphabetical
order and the result announced by the
presiding officer and entered upon the
Journals of the two houses.
This function is usually attended
with great ceremony and sometimes
with as much enthusiasm as if the
result was a gratifying surprise. Since
the days of the electoral commission,
growing out of the Tilderi and Hayes
contest, there have been no sensational
developments on dignified occasions.
