The registered -vote of the county is between 4,50 and 5,000, showing that just about lalf as many voted as are registered on the books. It was estimated that 3,000 votes had been cast before the returns re ceived today were brought in, but no official record had been made ana the vote in the two precincts re ferred to was , not heavy enough to swell the total to any great extent. The vote in the county was par ticularly light, much more interest being manifested in the city than outside. The farmers were not enough interested to leave their busi ness and go to the polls.

Representa tives of shippers' associations throughout the country met here to- Gay in conference with the railroads regarding the adoption of a uniform bill of landing. An agreement has al ready been reached regarding the lability of the initial " carrier for damages to freight and also in regard to making bills of lading negotiable on request. The principal point now to be settled is whether the railroads can colect 20 per cent in addition to their regular rates if they assume any liability for loss or damage ol freight. The shippers contend that the common law compels them to essume such liability in all cases, and that the railroads cannot legally maintain more than one set of pub lished rates. If the present confer ence cannot reach an agreement on this point the matter probably will be referred to the inter-State Commerce Commission; Work of Episcopal Missions. Columbia, S. C, Nov. 8.

London, Eng., Nov. 8. Money was in good demand in the market today and the supplies were' moderate. Dis- counts were firmly maintained. Bills were not taken freely, owing to fears I of a further increase in the Bank of! England's rate of discount. Trading on the stock exchange was dull, the monetary situation effectually checking business. The changes in the) quotations of British securities were slight. Paris sales caused a weakness in foreigners, while the holiday in New York was responsible for the dullness in Americans, which, after, narrow fluctuations around parity, closed ir- regular. A rumor, circulated here dur- ing the afternoon, that Charles ' E. Hughes, the Republican candidate for Governor of New York, had been as sassinated, caused a drop of half a point in . some issues, but the report was not believed, and in the absence' of confirmation the loss was soon recov ered.

Thinks That Republicans Will Not Permit Hackett to Take His Seat in; Congress. : v "I am willing to bet that Hackett will never "be allowed to take his seat in. the House of .Representatives at Washington," said a prominent Demo cratic lawyer this morning in discuss ing affairs in the Eighth district with a News reporter. "Well, how do you make that out?" was asked by the reporter. "Why you know," was the reply, "that the Republicans will "find some way to keep Hackett from being seat ed. You have noticed that Blackburn is claiming the district already by 1, 000. He is only doing this to help himself out in later trying to keep Hackett from taking his seat in the House. They will find some way to throw his votes out." The lawyer interviewed thinks that there is nothing to be expected but a contest in which he is of the firm opinion that the Democratic Congress man will be kept from his own. "But I beUeve it will be a good thing for the Democratic party In the long run, because at the next election the people of the Eighth wiil rise up and throw Blackburn but after; they have seen this exhibition of himself in try ing to get Hackett's seat in Congress. MAYOR IN WASHINGTON Wiir have-Something to Say About In vestigation in Progress'in This City. Mayor S. S.

Mr. McNinch also went with the purpose of having something to say to the Washington authorities about the investigation now in pro gress here in which cotton manufac turers of this city and section are alleged to have been guilty of violating the alien immigration laws. . Mr. McNinch went away with the determination to say something to the authorities in the capital city that will help them into- the real nature of the situation down here, and will al so furnish them with material that may prove to be somewhat of an eye opener, not in a sensational manner, but as mere statement of. facts-for which the department is seeking, and seeking to the exclusion of all other matter. Upon the return of Mayor McNinch there ill" likely be' something new in the way of developments in the inves tigation. Raised Cane in His Cell Today about noon Geo.

J.'S. Bache & Co's Daily Cotton Letter. New York, Nov. : 8. A very firm tone 'has prevailed this forenoon In all markets and ' smaller shorts have covered up on the fear' that the re port -may not be as bearish as is popularly expected, or that if bearish it has ' been " fully discounted, and upon its publication the larger shorts will take down 'profits and permit of a substantial rally.. The report may or may not justify big crop estimates but the generaL impression will re main that the present is a record breaking yield. Upon this assump tion any. advance; of consequence will find, plenty of sellers ready to put out fresh lines or ' increases present commitments, and no widespread change of 'sentiment in favor of higher prices is likely until there is a marked diminution - in the volume' nf receipts. We ' regard the market as oversold and the : short side very unattractive but until the : public can be induced to buy the probability of any perma nent rally is not encouraging. NOTED CASTELLH DIVORCE C II SE IS UP AGAIN TO-DAY Hearing of Noted Divorce Case was Resumed in Palace of Jus tice th's Morning. Waitr? Bonnet Counsel for Coun: Co.; eluded Argument for Court. Continued his Criticism of Coun tess' American Lawyer; De manded Examination of Wit nesses. Waitre Gruppi Mak Charges Against Counsel. By Associated Press. Paris, Nov. 8. The hearing of the Castellane divorce suit was resumed before Judge Ditte in the palace ol Justice this morning. Maitre Bonnet, of the counsel for Count Boni de Castellane, consumed less than an hour in concluding- his argument for the Count. Without the Counts consent, the counsel "argued, so far as money was concerned, nothing would be much altered by the divorce. It woulu only mean final financial ruin for the Count. It was impossible for him to get his outstanding obligations, amounting to $24,000 a year. The re mainder of his ancestral inheritance would have to be sold. If his wife desired to present him in such a light before the world, he had nothing more to say. Nevertheless it seemed only just that he should be reimbursed the $240,000 which ne obtained by the sale of his share of the ancestral forest of Bueny, and which was con tributed to the household expenses. 1 He continued his criticisms of Ed mond Kelley, the American lawyer of the Countess, and persisted in hi-: demand f.6r an examination of tho witnesses in order, he said, to per mit of the case being probed to ti bottom. The counsel added that in' the event of a divorce being grant the Count will ask for permission 1' see his children two days each wte ; end month in the summer and th ihe Countess be enjoined from taking children to America without his con sent. The counsel concluded with assert ing he was convinced that the Coun tess, if free to obey, the dictates her conscience, would yet consent to a, reconciliation and solemnly as sured the court of the Count's re-s-pect, esteem and undying affection tor his wife. Maitre Cruppi, for the Countess, in reply charged the Count's layyer with seeking to divert tne attention from the issue at the bar by makiri an unpresented and baseless atta cn Mr. Kelly, who, the counsel .' clared, enjoyed standing in " United States and France whk-:; made his defence superfluous, he h'. ing been counsel for the Amerkv embassy in Paris for the past : j-ears. Maitre Cruppi read a letter fro. Kelly denying the charges mad against him and saying that uni ihe names of the persons mentioned were introduced by the counsel fo; the Count he had never heard o these he was supposed to hav bribed. Maitre Cruppi then produced wh he declared to be forged document, by which the counsel charged th Count in July last attempted to "con vince his wife that Mr. Kelly wac concerned in,the plot to accomplish his political ruin. Several sharp passages between Maitros " Cruppi and Bonnet took place, one of them compelling the intervention of " Judge Ditti. Finally Maitre Bonnet asked the court to postpone the case for a fortnight in the hope of a final reconcilliation but the judge refused to do so, an adjourned the hearing for a week.
