Some of the Georgia papers are

The Mississippi river is on the
usual spring rise. The river is
higher than ever before known at
this season of the year. The

On last Wednesday the United

no more United States marshals,
no more troops stationed at the

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

Twelve scholarships have been

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

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

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

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.

of the Weber matter in another

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.

PATENTS.
NOTICE TO INVENTORS.
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. THE PRESS CLAIMS
