The Lexington Dispatch j G. M. HARMAN. Editor and Publisher. LEXINGTON. S. C., WEDNESDAY. SEPTEMBER 4. 1901. "TJoc'e Jake,"' who has made a repfamAno al! nror V>p "Rlp.p.k ! UlClilVii lOUJUUg ?li V*v* ? creek section as the champion fisherman of all those who have ever wet their line in those fish stocked streams, takes us to task for tilling tales out of school. The truth is he wears his laurel leaves with 10 much modesty that he blushes like a school girl in the first stages of that condition kDown as "puppy love,"' at the mere mention of his fame and he shame-facediy seeks to thrust his honors upon the brow of another Nothing but envy of our veracity on fish stories could have induced the Broad river man to make the assertion accredited to him. Why, not long since we spent the night with him, and by some magnatism or lure bait, the fish from as far down as Broad river bridge learned of our in tVtaf T>ai?hKnrhnnd flnd the i"?cuvciu 5' migratory of fish uswards was won derful to behold. They came siDgly and in pairs and Schools until the pressure of fish was so great that the waters of the river were dammed up, the canal went dry, the electric lights in Columbia went out and the cars ceased to run. The situation was so grave that Governor McSweeney ordered out the State militia to relieve it The next morning the catch was so large that the baskets brake snd the river fell four feet. "Uncle Jake," when he penned his epistle, evidently was in a reminiscent mood and conjures up the bleached bones of Hamilton out of which he makes a frightful scarecrow and tbeB proceeds to demolish it in a manner that is satisfactory to bis own self. The trouble with "Uacle Jake" all along has been that he lives in ihe past too nfucb, so that he has no time to look forward to the future of our country and solve the problems which concern us of today. John McLaurin needs no defense at our hands. Oj more than one occasion he has demonstrated that he is abundantly able to take care of himself. This being an off year we prefer to devote our time and talents to the upbuilding and to the development of the business interests of our country rather than to the dis /** cusdon of poLthal issues which are ftlwsvR a disturbing' element in our - O State. There is time enough for this nex* year. To the detriment of our own prosperity our business interests have too loDg been made subservient to politics, and we want to get out cf the old ruts. Chart Contracts NiHI and Void. News and Courier. Columbia, August 29 ?A case which will interest a great many peo|T ^ pie, and which will mean a great deal to certain interests, was decided today by Judge Gary. He holds that the warrants issued in payment of chart supplies are null and void. The decision was rrndered Jd tbo case of the Loan and Exchange BanL, which held about $2,112 ~ Judge Gary in his opinion says: "This is an app'ication for a writ of mandamus requiring Frank W. Shealy, as County Treasurer of Lex ington county, to pay to plaintiff certain warrants drawn by various boards of school trustees for the several school districts of Lexington county, and approved by the County 9^***' Supervisor of said county. "The two cases are similar and as the same Questions are involved in both it was agreed by counsel that both should be heard together. Without undertaking to state fully the issues raised by the pleadings, I am satisfied that the whole case can be disposed of by considering the main question in the case, which is the validity of the warrants of the several school districts upon the County Treasurer for Lexington county. Tbe said warrants were# drawn at a period ranging from the 16th of December, 1898, to the 21st of January, 1899, aod were made payable January 1, 1900. "The contention of the defendant is that the several boards of trustees j :j tlttu uu puwer tu uraw soiu nauiiuio, for the reason that the same were in excess of the funds appropriated to their school districts at the time said ^ warrants were drawn and are therefore void, and that any warrant drawn to become due at a future day is in the nature of a certificate of indebtedness and under the statute law of this State is void. 'Did the said boards of trustees have the power to draw their warrants on the County Treasurer on funds not then on hand applicable to the payment of the expenses of their said school districts f The authority of county boards of trustees to contract is derived from the stetute creating them, in which they are prohibited from making contracts for any year in excess of the funds for hot roor Tho on r\t Saptmn ^P i/uav j vwi Auy yivnov v* k^VVV?VU VV of the school law of 1896 is as follows: "Provided, that all contracts which boards of trustees may make j in excess of the funds appropriated to their district shall be void. "Let us now look into the contract entered into by this board and ascertain if such contract comes within those prohibited by the Act. The warrant issued by said board shows on its face that said board purchased for the use of their school district either in December, 1898, or in January, 1899, certain charts for the use of schools, koown as Evans's Arithmetical Study. "It certainly was the purpose and intent of said board that these charts ; were to be paid for out of the school fond, for which they were purchased. j Finding, however, at the date of such j purchase that there was no fund ap I pHcable to the payment of such pur i chase they attempt to avo'd tbeir j A dilemma by expressing', in the war- ; lant that the same is to be paid out j of a fund to be eccumulotfd or raised j in the future, and, therefore, rusk*! * the same payable on the first day cf January, 11*00, a year later. If then t there was no fond on band with ? which to pay this indebtedness the C conclusion is irresistible that such li contract was void under said proviso, as being in excess of the funds ap- j f< portioned to said school district, and, j t therefore unauthorized aDd made j void by the statute. The petitioner j ( in this case must have known from j ? the very terms of. the warrant that fhis contract was one prohibited by ' ii law. He cannot, therefore, plead < that he was the purchaser cf a ne- ( gotiable indebtedness without noticf; 1? the warrant that he purchased ap- n prised him of the fact that it was issued without authority of law. Be- p sides the instrument itself is not such A a negotiable paper as would protect o the purchaser. He took it subject to all equities and legal defences that 1< could be pleaded between the origin- r al parties. P "My conclusion is that the board c of trustees made a contract for the I purchase of charts for the use of their t several schools at a time when there was no fund available for such pur- b chase, and the mere fact that said 8 claims were made payable at a later 8 or future time out of funds cot then o apportioned to their said schools was 8 simply an effort to avoid the fore- f going provision of law, and that said t contract of purchase is null and void. P "It is, therefore, ordered that the t writ of mandamus be r< fused, u "Ernest Gary, Circuit Judge. v "Columbia, S. C , August 29,1901.'"
