Edenfield Advertiser rjEIOS.J. ADAMS, ..... EDITOR WEDNESDAY, FEB. 21,1894 Augusta cotton receipts up to date are 17,000 bales in excess of last year. All the South Carolina congress man except Brawley voted for the income tax. Houk, member of Congress from the Third Tennessee District, died of heart disease Friday evening. Two thirds of the convicts serv ing in the penitentiary are now leased out to contractors. There are altogether 1050. The last Legislature changed the law which hpretofore made it a penitentiary offence to steal live stock (without reference to value) end it is now a trial justice offence where the value is under $20. Some of the Georgia papers are giving Gen. Gordon bringer for gallivantin' all over the country lecturing on the Confederacy, when as.they say, he ought to be at his post in the United States Senate attending to his business. The Barnwell Sentinel says : We have it from good authority that a committee composed of prominent Reformers will invite "Uncle George' Tillman to come to Barn well and address the people of Barnwell County on the issues of the day in the near future. Commenting on Senator Butler's Sumter interview the Spartanburg Herald (Anti) remarks: "Wh^n he says he is going to be elected he becomes funny. He stands no mora chance than a feline in Hades divested of the defensive apparatus attached by nature to its feet." The Mississippi river is on the usual spring rise. The river is higher than ever before known at this season of the year. The Cumberland. Tennessee, St. Fran ces, White, and Arkansas rivers are also on a boom. The Valley of the Mississippi is probably as "wet as Charleston ! On last Wednesday the United States Senate passed the House bill repealing the Federal elections law. So there can be no future in terference in Southern elections, no more United States marshals, no more troops stationed at the polls. The last vestige of recon struction legislation is gone. Gen. Gordon will deliver his famous lecture, "The Last Days of the Confederacy" in Columbia on the 2nd of March prox. Of course Gen. Gordon will have the good sense not to allude to State poli tics. His memorable Black Jack speech at Greenwood materially injured the very person it was in tended to aid. Tillmanism is making its way to Georgia, At Albany, Ga., Feb ruary 9th, two freight cars, be longing to the Columbus Southern Railroad, were levied on by Sheriff Edwards by virtue of an execu tion issued by the Comptroller General of Georgia for State and county taxes for the past three years! The]cars have been ad vertised for sale. Where is the United States Court? Twelve scholarships have been aloited to South Carolina by the Peabody Normal College for the year 1894. The examination for these positions will be held July 20th, 1894, due notice of which will be given by School Commis sioner Davenport, who is always wide awake to the educational in terests of the people. These scholarships are worth one hun dred dollars a year each, and also the beneficiary's, railroad fare from his home to Nashville and return, and are good for two years. CLEMSON RE-OPENS. Clemson College has re-opened with about six hundred students in attendance. So great is the number of applicants for admis sion that doubtless the buildings will be further enlarged to accom modate several hundred more. The boys consume daily three barrels of flour, a half barrel of sugar, and a whole beef, and other things in the same proportion. There are two professional cooks besides a host of assistants. The boys get their milk and butter from forty cows which they tend themselves. Chickens by the droves and eggs by the scores of dozens are bought from the neigh boring farms. All provisions not raised at the institution f.re pur chased in car load lots. We got the above facts from The State of the 17th inst. That paper seems: now to be mildly favorable to this grand institution. THE WEBER MATTER. Superintendent Hayfield's Ofil cial Report. STATE OP SOUTH CAROLINA, EXECUTIVE DEPARTMENT, OFFICE OF STATE SUP'T OF ED'C'N. COLUMBIA, S. C., Feb. 13, '94. Gov. B. R. Tillman, Columbia, S. C. DEAR SIR : Under the law county school commissioners are required to report to the State Superinten dent of Education by the 1st day of October of each year, among other things the amount of money collected and expended for schools during the year. On the 3rd day of October, 1393, John L. Weber, as school commis sioner for Charleston County' filed his annual report with me, which showed expenditures for the year to be in excess of the receipts. Being dissatiaSed with the report I souhht an explanation. Mr. We ber had resigned and left the State to accept a position in Trinity Col lege, located at Durham, N. C., and F. Horton Colcock had been ap pointed by you as his successor. Mr. Colcock was unable! from the records in his office, to explain the discrepancy. I, therefore, prepared blanks and sent them to the school trustees of that county for the purpose of obtaining the desired information. In making up these reports a discrepancy was discover ed in one of the school warranta. I have inado a personal exami nation of the school commission er's office and find that this parti cular warrant has been raised from $7.65 to $97.65 by inserting the figure 9 in the margin in front of j the figure 6, and writing the word ninety in front of the word seven in the body of the warrant. I also find other warrants that have been raised and others that were issued for labor not performed, and for school supplies and furni ture that were not furnished. The warrant for $7.65, raised to $97.95, above referred to, is made payable to "Isaac Hammond or or der." The correctness of the claim is sworn to by him before the chairman of the board of school trustees issuing it, aud both of them say the warrant was issued for $7. 65 and that was the amount ac tually due. Isaac Hammond is a merchant of good financial stan ding and reputation, and engaged in business in Broad street, in the City of Charleston. He says that j he turned the claim over to Mr. Weber to be countersigned by him as school commissioner and that Mr. Weber brought him $7.65 iii cash, the amount due him. The warrant was certainly raised before it was presented to the county treasurer. Geo. H. Walter, fo*" pay ment, for it was paid by him with a check drawn in favor of '"Isaac Hammond or order" for $97.95. The check was presented to and paid by the Charleston Bank. Isaac Hammond's name being endorsed on the back of the check. The teller of tho bank, who paid the money, endorsed on the back of the check in blue pencil that he had paid it to John L. Weber. Mr. Hammond says that the en dorsement of his name on the back of the check is a forgery, and the expert of the bank say it is not his signature. The changes in the j warrant appear to be in the hand writing of Mr. Weber. There was issued payable to Isaac Hammond or order" another school warrant for $6, which was raised to $8.50* This warrant took very much the same cause as the one above refer red to and the changes in it appear | to be in Mr. Weber's hand. The report then states that in 1892 Mr. Weber received $355 for | the purpose ?f-holding joint teach er's institutes for Charleston, Ber kely and Colleton Counties, and that he expended but $215 fori these purposes, leaving $140 in his hands unaccounted for. That in 1893 another such insti tute was held, for the purposes of which Mr. Weber received $315 and expended only $230, leaving $85 unaccounted for. Mr. Weber ran an account with Messes Walker, Evans & Cogswell, on which he had charged the arti cles he purchased for his own pri vate use, also those he purchased J for h is own "use as school com-| missioner, and also those he pur chased for the use of the public school of his country. On April 9, 1893, he owed ou this account for all purchases $100 50, and on the same day the account was credited with $66.50. This credit of $66.50 was a school warrant issued to Walker, Evans & Cogswell origi nally for $6, but raised to $96.50. The changes appeared to be it Mr* Weber's hand. Walker'Ev :ns & Cogswell collected the money. Purchases were continved, and on April 20, 1892, had increased $8.01, makiug the whole amount $108.51. On the same day, April 20, 1892, a second school warrant f >r $86.25 was issued to them and the account of the warrant they paying Weber $47.24 cash, the difference between the amount of the two warrants! l and tho amount of tho accou^ ?????????!?-^-__W_B_______BB-i balancing the account. Thi rant was not raised, but waa for more than the amount c purchase by reason of a Q in the bill rendered. Parchases were continued,! November 15. 1892, Weber $25.92 and on that day his ac was cr?diter! with $85, the ai of a third school warrant is? Walker, Evans & Cogswell they charged to him $60 in which they charged to him < account. There is no way by I can decide whether this wi was raised or not, the "figure the body of the warrant beii Weber's hand. This left 92 due them ; the account wai open and purchases continu June 17, 1893, the addil purchases amounting to $ Adding the $25,92 the $60 ac $51 21 together we .have $13 the amount of the account. I meantime he paid $10 25. On 17 a fourth school warrant ii to Walker Evans & Cogswel $41 8. Adding the $85, the $1 and the $41 88 together we $138 13 exactly balancing tl count. There is no way by v I can decide whether this wa ($41 88) was raised or nol figures and body of the warral being in Mr. Webers hand, chases continued and Augi 1893 the account amounted I 60. This was credited with \ the price of a school commissio: book bought of Walker, 'Eva Cogswell and charged to W before the $41,88 warrant was : ed but subsequent to that time for by the county commissione Walker, Evans & Cogswell get the money and crediting Wei account with the amount. The 50 taken from the $8 60 le Weber due $2 10 on the acco no other payment ^having I made. The four warrants collect?e Walker, Evans & Cogswell the price of the school corni sioner's book, paid for by couDty commissioners, ($66 $86.25,$41,88,$6.59,) make a t of $289.13 of public funds pai< them. The total amount of articles charged on this accoi including the school comrj sioner's book, that were purer, ed for the public schools and which they received the benefit $84.75. From the $289.13 ti the $84.75 and there is left $264 paid out of the public funds Mr. Weber's private account. It is, perhaps, but proper me to say in this connection tl Walker, Evans & Cogswell do very large business, and that th transactions occurred in the or nary^-un of their business, a that they are wholly innocent any wrong intention or com dealing, having had confidence Mr. Weber's honesty. In October, 1891, Mr. Wet drew from the public school fun on general account $186. I c find no vouchers showing for wh purpose thi3 money was expe ded. In August, 1891, a warrant i the school funds was issued by tl trustees of School District No. to Minus Black foi $6 for lab( This warrant was raised to $1 and the changes seem to he in M Weber's hand. In February, 1892, a scho warrant was issued by the trustei of School Dietrict No. 3 to one 1 A. Bell for $9 tor school supple The sullies were never furnishei and [the warrant was raise to $98.75. In Febuary, 1892, a echoc warrant was issued by the trustee of School District No, 2 to one I A. Bell for $6 for school suppliei The suplios were never furnishe and the warrant was raised t $69,45. In February, 1892, a school wai rant was issued by the trustees o School District No. 1 to one D. A Bell for $8 for school suppliea The supplies were never furnished and the warrant was raised to $80 In February, 1892, a school war rant wa^ispued by tho school trus tees of District No 4 to one S. A Cunningham for $6 school supplies The supplies were never furnished and the warrant was raised tc $68.50. I cannot find either D. A. Bell or S.A. Cunningham, nor can I (iud anyone who knows or ? ver beard of either of them. The changes in these last four "arrants appear to be in Mr. Weber's hand, and it also appears that he collected, the warrants af ter they had been raised, the three Bell warrants being paid by the treasurer in one check, No 310, March 9. 1882. The trustees say Mr Weber told them he had purchased these supplies and that they would be sent out to the schools. In November, 1892, a warrant vas issued to Prince Brown for F9 tor making desks and benches oy the trustees of School District Sb. 4. The warrant was raised to P97.50, and the changes appear to DO in Mr. Weber'e hand. In April, 1892, a warrant wan issued to Henry Wilson for $6 for I repairs on a school house by the trustees of School District No. 4, and in September, 1894, the trus tees of the ?ame district issued to him a warrant for $48.75 for repairs to school houses and furniture. Tha amountB in the body of these warrants appear to have been written by Mr. Weber. There are only two schools in this distriot. Inspection of one of the schools and information as lo what work has been done and furniture furni shed to both indicate that these ! claims are without merit, the work not having been performed.' See exhibif'A," "B," "C" Ind 'D" attached hereto. See also a list of the warrants I attached hereto, and the duplicate | warrants themselves filed here with. A warrant has been sworn out | against Weber, charging him with I violating the laws of the State, and ? he was arrested in th? City of Charleston on the 6th day of Feb ruary, instant, and gave bond for i his appearance to answer any [ charges that may preferred against j him in the Court of General Sessions for the county of Charles-j ton. Not being a collecting officer, and having no power to recover the money that has thus wrong fully been taken from the public schools I,therefore,respeclfully ask that you direct the proper steps to j be taken to recover the money. In quiry elicits the fact that -Mr. Weber's bond is good. The amount to be recovered and turned into the treasury for the use of the public school is $1,237 83, and the amouut recovered should be distributed among the districts in proportion to their losses respectively. Respectfully fubmitted, W. D. MAYFIELD^ State Superintendent of Educa tion. The tariff bill will be reported [ to the Senate on Thureday of this week. Chairman Voorhees says (that it will be in substantially the same form a6 it passed the House, "excepting that sugar, iron, and coal will be put back on the dutia ble list." If the Senate should pass this sort of bill, reducing the free list as adopted by the House schedule, democracy will have a nice time making explanations to the people in the next national election. With ooal, iron, and BU gar, which were made free by the House bill, put back on the dutia ble list by the Senate, th? Valy free thing on the tariff bill will be wool, and there will not be enough popularity in free wool alone to save the democracy in the next cam I paign John L. Weber, ex-school com missioner of Charleston, recently on the editorial staff of the News and Courier, has been arrested for embezzlement and forgery com mitted while Behool commissioner. This exposure was due to Super intendent Mayfield's investigation made at the instance of Gov. Tillman, and it is safo to say that such investigation and exposure and arrest and indictment never would have been made if the crime had been perpetrated under some previous administration. Strenu ous efforts were made and power ! ful influences brought to bear to j hush up the matter, but Tillman says: "No. The commonwealth must be no respecter of persons. We publish Mr. Mayfield report of the Weber matter in another column. GENERAL EARLEY HURT. The Battle-Scarred Hero Seri ously Injured By a Fall. NEW YORK, Feb. 15.-A Herald dispatch from Lynchburg, Va, j say s: General Jubal A. Early, ranking officer of the late Con fed - j eracy, met with an accident, which in all probability, the attending physician says, will prove fatal. He was ascending the stairs of the postoffice when he fell heavily, the ice on the steps rendering them slippery. He struck on his head, and the concussion was so severe as to render bim uncon scious. Owing to his advanced age-?tht general having passed his eightieth year-it is hardly possible that he will ever get up from his bedagair. At a late hour he had not regain ed consciousness. General Early bas been a fami liar figure on the streets of I/ynoh burg where he has resided since the war. He has never takes any part in politics, being by inclina? tion and education a soldier, whose occupation was gone with the fall of the federacy he BO valiantly defended. He bad the reputation of being a hard fighter during the war. Since the war he has never worn anything but confederate gray, and with his long gray beard and shoulders stooped by the weight of years presented a patriarchal ap pearance.

There was never a time in the his tory of our country when the demand for inventions and improvements in the arts and sciences generally was so great as now. The conveniences of mankind in the factory and work shop, the household, on the farm, and in official life, require continual ac cessions to the appurtenances and implements of each in order to save labor, time, and expense. The political change in the administration of the government does not affect the progress of the American inventor, wi o being on the alert' and ready to perceive the existing deficiencies, does not permit the affairs of government to deter bim from quickly conceiving the remedy to overcome existingdiscrepencies. Too great care cannot be exercised in choos | nga competent and skillfully attor ney to prepare and prosecute an ap-1 plication for patent. Valuable intersts have been lost and destroyed in in numerable instances by the employ ment of incompetent counsel, and especially is this advice applicable to those who adopt the "No patent, no pay" system. Inventors who entrust their business to this class of attorneys do so at imminent risk, as the breadth and strength of the patent is never considered in view of a quick endeavor | to get an allowance and obtain thr fee then due.
