The island of Crete, at present

south of Greece. It is about 160
miles in length, and nowhere ex

duces cotton, tobacco, olive oil,

The picture of a South Caroliuan
testifiying against his own State
in Congress is one to make angels
weep. We clip the following from
the official report :
Dr. Samposon Pope, indepeudont
candidate for governor, took the
stand. Dr. Pope characterized as
a great fraud the constitutional
convention, and reviewed at length
the circumstances attending it.
Uneasy for fear that Ihe Conserva
tive element of the State would
join the Republicans and form a
just Constitution? he maid, the
Demecratic leaders, Senator Till
man and others, entred iuteo a
most damnable ageeement. The
scheme to which they ? bound
themselves and their followers
provided, among other things, that
no white man should be disfran
chised except for crime ; that the
whites should be insure d sup
remacy, and the Constitution
when adopted 8h?uld not be sub
mitted to the people. He had gone
gone into the courts and endeavor
ed to stop the election ot delegates
to the convention, but had been
unsucessful.
South Cajoliua, he said, was out
uoii in congress waa concerned, lt
was admitted to the Union provid
ed thar it did not change tho Con
stitution of 1898, which was ap
proved by congress. The legisla
ture of the State had broken faith
long ago, and as a matter of fact,
no senator or representative.
Democrat or Republican, had a
right sit in the national legislature.
Further, when the present Con
stitution was adopted, it was ?never
submitted to the people for ra
tification, those framing it never
took thc oath and a number of
them held other offices under the
government. {The provisions of
the Constituiion were violated in
each instantan?e. The result
was that thoueands were debarred
from suffage. These were facts
and if the committee would go to
South Carolina and take testimony
or send for persons and papers, it
could easily get at the facts. It
was an important matter and one
which congress should look into.
Replying to a question by Mr.
Talbert (Dem.) of South Carolina
as to the part he took in certain
legislation in the State, he saia
that it was enacted before h?. be
came a member of the legislature.
He added that the eales had fallen
from his ejes, he was now a pro
tectiouist and an outspoken Re
publican and he only regretted
thai he had not joined this party
12 years ago. He was in it
now to stay and would work to
convert the people of his State.
He even hoped to convert hie
friend, Mr. Talbert.

Tho ab^ve is a true and correct
apportionment made in accord
ance with the Teachers' Monthly
Reports as are found in this office.
I find many pay warrants drawn
by teachers and no reports at
tached. Each warrant must be
accompanied by a full and com
plete report for each month. I also
urge that the trustees make a com
plete annual report to this office
on or before the first day of August
of each year, according to Section
12 of the School Law, for without
such reports it is impossible for
me to make a true and correct ap
portionment. I again urge that
each and every trustee appointed
by the county board of education
come to this office in person, as I
wish his signature, and at the
same time get the apportionments,
for the several districts.
I find that several of the school
districts during the fiscal year just
passed have overdrawn their ap
portionment, while others have un
expended balances.
No teachers pay warrant will be
approved unless signed personally
by at least a majority of the trus
tees of each district and also ac
companied by a teachers1 monthly
report for the month for which
stid warrant is drawu.
