(THE QUESTION ANSWERED. | Why the Graded School Bill Was Killed?Senator Bleasc Covers Whole Question. | It will be recalled that a bill was passed though the house at the last! '' session providing for submitting to | the people of Newberry the question of additional bonds for the erection 1 of another school building but failed in the senate. One of the trustees of i the graded school some time ago wrote several inquiries to the papers of Newberry insisting upon an answer as to why the bill did not pass. For some while these communications have not been continued though it was stated they would be continued until an answer was received. The following correspondence, it seems, look place in April between another member of the board and Senator Bleasc and in it Senator Bleaso gives his reasons though he did not ( answer the communication of the i member who asked his questions through the paper. The correspondence explains iself: Newberry, S. (\, April 21, 1008. i Hon. Cole L. Bleasc, , Newberry, S. C. j' My Dear Sir:? Will you please state your reason ! (if there by any) why you used your influence against the passage of a i ' bill to hold an election on the question to issue bonds to an. amount not ox~ i cecding twentv-livc thousand dollars J, at a rate of interest not exceeding (I five per cent., payable in 20 years, for the purpose of enlarging tlie school facilities of tliis district? I Said bill being authorized by the tizens of Newberry at a special eeting held on September .1.0, 1007. As a member of the board of school ustees, I am naturally very much itcrested and know the absolute ccessitv fur such additional school H-ilit ies. Thanking you in advance and asiring you that an immediate reply ill be highly appreciated, Verv respectfullv yours, (). KLKTTXER. April 23 rd, 1008. Ion. 01 to Klettncr, Newberry, S. ('. I.v Dear O. K.? Yours of the 21st inst. received a^ul as always I am delighted at rcc Aving a communication from you a\rU from the manner in which it is adiVessed and the language in which it i\ couched it gives me pleasure to repi\ thereto, and as you suggest, immediately. Ass to my influence, my dear fellow, all that was needed was the motion made by me which consigned the bill to the senatorial graveyard. T made that motion because T was reliably informed that it had been already agreed that, the money to be received from that tax was to be used in erecting another building on the same lot that the present school building on Boundary street is now upon and to this T along with many other citizens objected, believing, that there is no room for such building* and if there is it should not be put there. Why? You may ask. Because the city of Newberry is rapidly growing and daily increasing in population and there are other children in the. city besides those living in 'Ward 3 and some property that is not owned by people living in that ward or on the south side of Pratt street, and if we are to have another school building I am in favor of it being erected at some point on the north side of Scott creek where it will be convenient to the children of that section of our city. Such a location would remove the necessity of all the children of that part of the city crossing Main or Pratt street in going to and from school and from passing along the crowded thoroughfares of the city I while often alone and unprotected. T might say more, but not now. T have the honor of being your | humble if not always obedient servant. I (Signed.) 0017B L. BTjI'jASTC. LITTLE JOE BROWN WAS NOMINATED Hoke Smith Was Nearly 15,000 Votos Behind His Rival for Governor of Georgia.

M. Brown's pluH9B iit,y in jfe'esterday's democratic prigH try fo'^ho democratic nomination for governor is 14,500. Smith lost his .1 own county, Fulton, and most of the t larger counties in the State. The s present congressmen are all renominated with tlu* exception of E. B. ( Lewis, who probably is defeated by t a majority of about 500. t Parades of till descriptions were 1 hold in Atlanta in celebration of t Brown's victory. Many of the parades carried sticks with loaves of i bread on their tips, to typify Brown's campaign slogan, "Brown and bread, ( Hoke and hardtack." SMITH CONCEDES BROWN'S ELECTION r Declares it is Only "Temporary Defeat"?Brown is Given an Ovation. t Atlanta, (!a., June 5.?Conceding ( the election of Joseph M. Brown in , the democratic state primary held yesterday, (Jovernor Hoke Smith to- ^ night issued the following statement : ' "I wish to thank the fellow cili/.ens | who voted for me on yesterday for the zealous and unsellish support they j, gave to the principles for which 1 stand. I "I will not a! this time discuss the | forces that brought about our tern- , porary defeat. Those principles are i as sound and necessary to good government in the future as they were | when approved at the ballot box two | years ago. ''Time will vindicate them. , "While we accept the result as | conclusive tor the present year we , will not lose courage. "Wo must seek still to ratify the \ disfranchisement amendment at the | October election. I "Wo must remain steadfast in our s devotion to purity in elections and ? government and t<> the rights of the : masses of the people.'' M r. Brown was given an ovation when he came to Atlanta from his j ] Marietta home today. Kor two hours ' several hMtidrcd men paraded the I streets escorting the future governor. ] Mr. Brown declined to comment on the election. Willi the primary over attention is ? being directed to the State legislature, but inasmuch as this legislature will be composed of th" same members as the last no changes of a radical nature are expected at the session beginning the last of the month. I he newly elected legislature will not sit until next June. f"onsiderable interest is also being taken in the democratic State convention later in the month, when delegates to the national convention will be elected. Sentiment as to a presidential nominee apparently lias not taken definite lines as yet. ADVERTISING FOR FEDERAL BUILDING SITES. Treasury Departmont, Ollice of (he Secretary, Washington, B.
