I am not at all surprised at his signing the note, as we put it , up to him and he had to come across. (He- couldn't stand the gaff," was the comment of Comptroller A. W. Jones, this afternoon, when shown the interview Governor Blease gave out accompanying his statement that he had affixed his signature to the note' for 1330,000 in borrowing money for the rural schools, the Comptroller Gen . ' *- - ? oxr?n or Ierai ana tne ?Ltn-t: ucaauiti uawua previously signed their names. The Palmetto Bank today informed the governor that the note was not negotiable unless signed by him along with the comptroller general and the State treasurer. He signed the not? and the Palmetto Bank on the not? signed by these three officers loaned ih^ State the $30,000 necessary for the common schools to finish out their term this year. ! In an interview the governor charg* ed that the comptroller general, the onH thA snnerinten ICtclie Ucaouiu ivu" v. ? j d<:nt of education had tried to injure him politically in this matter by hopHf ing that he wouldn't sign the note and thus be able to say that he closed the schools.

State Superintendent of Education ~ 1?tt-oc mwp Amnhatic in his SjWttfU lligCii ? ao WV4U ~ characterization of the governor. Said lie: - j 'Politics have not influenced my ? course in this matter. Finding that he "had to sign the note for $30,000 or to bear the reproach of closing the i schools, the governor quit his crazy foolishness and affixed his signature. | ' I am compelled to believe that he did | so with reluctance.

He waited a moniu to give it, although I have asked him once in person and twice In writing! to lend his co-operation. He imagined that the note would never be presented to him.
