CLAIM REFUSED BY JONES Expense Account of Chief Constable Turned Down By the Comptroller ? General "1 regret thai 1 do not see my way i clear to tsire a warrant on the State ! treasurer for the payment of your j claim." This statement is contained in a letter given out upon request by A. W. Jones, comptroller general of I South Carolina, who has refused it I pay a claim of $180.25, submitted by j P. H. Corley, who vas appointed chief | constable of South Carolina by the governor during tne campaign, me comptroller general takes the posi tion that to issue th warrant would not be according to law. He in formed the chief constable that the case should be decided by tbe courts and that the warrant will not be hon ored until the decision ? given. The expense account of Mr. Corley was approved by the governor. P. H. Corley is the former sheriff of Lexington county and was named by the governor during the campaign as chief constable. He followed the cam paign party for several days. Letter Given Out The following correspondence was given out by the comptroller general yesterday upon request: "Columbia, September 16, 1912. "P. H. Corley, Chief Constable of South Carolina, Columbia. "Dear Sir: I have statement of your claim for expenses, per diem and mileage, chief constable, in accord ance with section 721. code of laws 1313, togeiner wiui u*ucc ui a^iu?? for payment out of the special fund for enforcement of the law at the dis position of the governor. "I regret that I do not see my way clear to issue a warrant on the State treasurer for the payment of your claim. My declining to lasue the war rant is because of section 43 of the appropriation act of 1912. p. 986, which provides that no executive offi cer shall use any of the special funds appropriated to the department of which he is the head for paying for services in discharging duties imposed by law on any officer whose compen sation was not provided for by this appro, riation act. "It appears that you hold the of fice of chief constable of the state un der the governor's appointment , as provided in section 721 of the code, and that the legislature has made no provision for the compensation of such officer. The act under which you were apoointed provides that you shall receive, when actually engaged in the public service, $5 per day and five cents pc?' mile for each mile ac tually traveled in the performance of your duties as your compensation and without any provision for the pay ment of your "expenses while so en gaged. "It is clear therefore that the charges In jour claim for railroad ["MADAME SHERRY* fare and hotel bills can not be paid j you because (he statute does not pro- j vide for It TThere is room for argu-1 incnt that the special fund for the i enforcement of law out of which the j governor has ordered this claim to be paid should be applicable to its pay ment, but in view of the direction of the legislature that no part of such fund shall be paid for services in dis charging the duties imposed by law upon any officer whose compensation is not provided for by the appropria- : tion act, I do not see my way clear to j issue a warrant upon this fund for | payment of your claim. The question as to the construction j of this act . is one which might be submitted to the courts, and if they | hold that your claim should be paid I lout of any special fund for the en-| . Tore ement of Law, I will gLadly issae I J the warrant. But until the courts sc j . decide. I am forced to hold as an , I executive officer that no provision has j j been made by the legislature for pay j : ni'mt of your claim, and that the war i fant can not be issued therefor."

This is one of the points brought out by one of I the speakers at the recent meeting of the American Association of Instruc- j tors and Investigators in Poultry Hus- j bandry, one of the directors of which j is Prof. J. G. Halpin, of the College ' of Agriculture of the University of j Wisconsin. The western stock coun-j try is broken into grain and fruit i farms, on which but little stock Is j raised. But poultry products may help 641 the gap, for poultry can be raised anywhere in the United States. In 1899 the average price of eggs was j 11.15 aents, while In 1909 the average j was 19.7 cents, with a steady demand i for everything offered. In 1911 the | production of the American hen was i valued at $750,000,000. There is no! danger of over-production of poultry I products.?Ex. _ Mittrurted Sarvia CtaA" ka Chrtotmu tim? di?w wsaf Bofc yr Axnr?es?d -ft trtsh for vxM dally desired grtlcka.

I WAx" u ri ii him j litfud Slttu Who Labels 'frees iu York* shire Parks. London Daily Sketch. Although G. E. Wilkinson of Leeds ^ins been without the use of his sight or over 30 years, he lias become so skilled us a botanist that frequently !ih is asked to perl'onn the duly of 'taming and labeling the trees and plants in public parks. The Leeds jorporution parks committee have re quisitioned his services at Roundhaj park?one of the largest and most thickly wooded municipal parks in England?and he has been similarly employed at Sheffield and other places in Yorkshire. Tall and slimly built, with a thin gray beard, Mr. Wilkinson has an in tensely intellectual face, and his long slender fingers are those of an artist. "'1 used to paint a little before I lost ny sight in 1S79 as a result of an at tack of neuralgia," said lie recently. t'pon his recovery from the serious illness which followed the loss of his sight, Mr. Wilkinson frequently visit ed the beauty spots of Yorkshire, where he had formerly been to paint. A friend who was with him on one oc casion asked if he could tell by touch fhe species to which a tree belonged. The blind man made the experiment, ind found to his surprise that he was >asily able to distinguish between the 'leech, the oak, the ash and other trees. "lTp to that time I had but little Knowledge of trees and plants," said Vir. Wilkinson yesterday, "but I be came Interested in the subject, and tn cturiv it closely for lack of JKJ&O.U IV/ nvu?v .. ? something better to do. My book learning, of course, has been obtained second-hand; that is to say, someone else has had to do all the reading for me, but I have not found It nearly so difficult to acquire knowledge as you might suppose." Merely by his sense of touch Mr. Wilkinson can tell the name of any plant which is given to him. If it is a well-knoyn plant he can give its name immediately, and on several oc casions he has been able to name plants grown from seeds which have come to this country in the rags and wool which are brought from all parts of the world to Yorkshire. Once a friend with whom he was walking near Sheffield plucked from a ditch what appeared to be a common Eng 'ish flower, except that it was yellow instead of blue. "You must be wrong," said the blind man, alter fingering lie flower carefully. 'This flower can lot be yellow." "But it is yellow," replied his "riena. "Then it has come from the Pacific oast of America," said Mr. Wilkin son, after a slight pause. Inquiry disclosed the fact that a :anary was kept by the farmer who ivcd at the other side of the hedge, nd that the farmer's wife was in the labit of throwing the refuse from the :age into the ditch. In this way a raginent of a peculiar seed which is ;rown on the Pacific coast of America lad come to take root in the ditch !>d the plant had flowered. A CARD OF THANKS From Mr. T. P.
