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.

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. THE WEATHER.

GOST OF COUNTING ELECTORAL VOTE $14,000 FOR MESSENGERS ———— ■ i . , TO CAfIHV TUB VOTE OF KLECTOHS TO WASIIIMITO*. The Ceremony nt the (splint Feb. 8. 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.
