Tk UNS i\ii 5 N i J. governor Says Failure of Palmetto National Hank Would Probably Leave State I'nprotected Columbia. Jan. 13.?Governor j Blease having refused to approve the ireties on the bond of $90,000, which i /Mr. S. T. Carter ha<l secured preli-1 ntinary to takinc charg? as Stare! ; Treasurer, the law requiring that th-3; governor must approve the bond, he j v?-as asked this morning why he rtfus-j <ed to approve the sureties of Mr.: barter's bond, and he issued the fol? | lowing statement in explanation "I have been reliably informed thai; ' ?he Gulf and Atlantic Insurance Com-! pany is on the bonds of a very large number of the county officials ol this >tate, and I have declined to approve those bonds brought to me, signed by that company, and I shall not appoint; any man to office, as treasurer, or au-j nr nthpr nrmmntive Dosition, who i have to be bonded, who furnished bund I in tnis company, for the reason that I! Jo not think that it is right for all | State and co inty officials to be bond-! ed in one company; and, when on^! company receives its proportionate of the business, thereby assuming what I conceive, as governor, to be the full extent of their liability in case of defalcations, T shall, in so far as my power iirs, protect the interests of the peo- j pie by declining to approve the bonds ' "Tn show that this is not a political1 fight, I turned down the bond of Soli-! citor Gunter, who is my appointee, and i also that of Solicitor Albert E.

"As to the bond of T.wi&nrer Carter; ! I have nothing to do with VIr Carter's! ideas or movements; he presented aj bend signed by Gen. Wilie Jones, J. [ Pope Matthews, Francis K. Weston: and others prominently connected with j the iJaimetto Aanonai JtsanK. i ao rioi| think it is right for a State Treasurer to be placed^in the hands of or under the direct control of one bank by its president, cashier, attorney and other j officials being his bondsmen. Mr. Car-j ter may view it differently. Besides, these gentlemen, to a- very large ex- ( tnt, have all they have got wrapped} up in this concern, and in case of | failure of this bank all would go to-, aether, and the probabilities are thatj Carter would be here without a bond, j "It is not a political matter, as Mr. | Carter told several of my friends! throughout the State last summer that; was my friend and, therefore, I! have no reason to do him an injustice j or injury; but the duty devolves upon! me to approve a $90,000 "bond, and when I do approve it I propose to see j ihat the bond is good, so far as the j securities go, to stand between the | State treasurer and the people of the j State of South Carolina. This is alii there is to it. ao bugaboo to be made; out of it and no reflection cast upon; any of those who propose to become | securities for this bond. "If you will notice. Governor Wilson is receiving much praise for being against a banker holding the office of State treasurer of New .Tersev. Tf he is,to be given praise for that then why j .? In J ...I. 1-^.. J . s-iiuuiu man wiiote uuna to o? grven < ."bv one bank be treasurer of South j Carolina? What is the difference one being a banker himself, and the other .being absolutely in the hands of a "crank? I cannot see any. ""I do business with the Palmetto i National Bank: got a small amount of j money in it, and some of those gentle- j men there, particularly the president,! are my close personal and political' friends, but when it comes to my duty in approving the State Treasurer's bond I know only my responsibility."

DEVIL TAVERN STILL EXISTS. Was Favorite Resort of Beii .Tonso and Shad well. At the present time it would be dif ficult to discover a London tavern eve called by the name of "The Devil." Bi in the eighteenth century 1 Fleet stree still is in existence, was so called. "The Devil's Tavern," was so calle owing to the proximity of St. Dunstan church and the fond recollection of a interlude between the saint ana th Exil One. This was Ben Jonson's favorite r< sort and here he presided over a clu of which he was the founder. H wrote once: "The first speech in my "Catiline spoken to Scylla's ghost, was writ af ter T had parted with my friends a the Devil Tavern; I had drank we that night and had brave notions." It was also the resort of Shadwel pillorized as Og by Dryden in his "At salom" and "Architophel."
