try to twist and squirm. We put the
ring in his nos-e all right and a rope
in the ring. 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 .

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. It was in reply to
* this criticism that the Comptroller
general made the commfent quoted
when asked if he had any statement
to make.
Swearingen's Views.
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. Xo intelligent
f man will claim that the money could
| "have, been borrowed without the gov?
at*. i
(ernor's signature. 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. He tried every means
to avoid signing it. His bull-fighting
) interview is not the shout of the victorious
matador, but the dying snort
of the vanquished bull, suffering from
the ring in his nose placed there by
L his own folly.
' "The spleen and billingsgate of the
(L governor do not vex me. tie uicu w
defeat the 1-mill tax by vetoing the
rlaw. Fortunately the legislature passed
it over his veto. Ke tried to nullify
the operation of the law by refusing
to borrow the money to make it
effective. He has failed a second
time. The cry of politics is made
simply because the governor's political
ambition will probably suffer because
of his self-centred statesmanship.
smhool trustees of Anderson
meet May 5 to discuss this situation
| and the school trustees of Greenville
& meet May 7 to have the samp discusfL
sion. The country people whose
schools may now run six or eight
weeks longer should feel grateful to
HBrhe chief executive for the benevolent
I Binterest he has been forced tp mani^^R'est
in the educational welfare of
their children/'
8 Carter's Comment.
In similar vein State Treasurer S. T.
Carter flays th-p governor. He says
"'the governor, as usual, has so
distorted the facts that his interview
"p hardly worthy of not<\ it is a ques
oc tn whn nut the rins: in his nose.
' IVJLl (XO w ?? r - _
"but it served the purpose. The govH
ernor is probably chaffing from his
failurj to stab the comptroller gen~r-I
r) and State Treasurer in the back,
I behind closed doors, when he sent ?
B rrtoue?t to the senate finance commitI
tee asking that others he put on th^
borrowing con/nittee in their place
anl because he went openly before
the senate and asked that his ren,ioct
v>c romnlied with.
v. x-"If
this last circus performance is a
sample of the lessons taught by the
governor, he will have to continue his
Aft-^r quoting a copy of the letter of
Cashier Matthews, of th^ Palmetto
Bank, to him, and of the cashier to the
attorneys of the bank and their reply
which, in substance stated that the
note to be legal and binding on the
ft State must be- signed by the State
HL Treasurer, comptroller general and
governor. Governor Blease in his
^^ int?rview says:
I
BUaM*s Statement.
| ""This sustains absolv.t 1 y the posi;'tion
which I have been taking, to wit;
that the comptroller gen ral and Slate
treasurer had no authority whatever
to borrow any amount of money for
the State of South Carolina without
the co-operation and eonf rence of the,
governor; it doesn't make any (inference
who is comptroller general or
State treasurer, or who is governor
The law says the three shall borrow,
and not a majority thereof, and money
that has been heretofore loaned to
State has been an illegal transaction,
and the notes were not binding. I believed
this to be the law, an notified
the legislature in as plain language
as I could to this effect.
"Now some newspapers and some
people have been making great to do
about what the governor would do and
what the governor would not do. Now l
it is clearly in the hands of the governor
as to whether certain schools of
the State shall be closed or . whether
fhev chall hp mri nnri th-A romntroller
general and State superintendent of
education and the State treasurer
have absolutely failed in their purpos-e
to close the schools and say the gov-:
ernor did it, in order to try to injure!
! the governor politically. Now the !
I governor says to that: 'I have taught i
you a lesson; I will sign your notes.
I will 1-et the schools continue to run
and show the people of South Carolina
that you did not put any ring in j
j my nose and that you did not land mej
, with a rope.," j
Savs Would Have Raised Money, j
i I
"If the money could have been loan|
ed without me I am satisfied it would,
have been done, and these distinguish-1
j ed gentlemen would have said: 'Wej
got the money, the governor to the!
| contrary notwithstanding, and we de- |

j children,' but as they have failed I
: suppose they will come out now and
jsay: 'We did it,' as 'Me- and Betsy'
killed the bear.' If Jones and Carter;
had not signed it at all I was going!
to get the $30,000. I had a friend who j
was going to let me have it. I was j
going to supply this dificiency to run j
these schools. Thirty thousand is i
much to a poor man like' I am, but I
have some friends to whom it is a
mere bagatelle. Now, since I have;
taught these gentlemen a lesson the
little children will not suffer, and
when these gentlemen get on the
stump next summer, instead of holler- \
ins,'. 'I' they will have the privilege
of saying, 'me too.'"
