HAKVKY PLKADS (JUII.TY fjcts Fine of $400 For (.nailing Too Much Money From Bank j Allendale, S. (\, April 23. Wilson i 13, Harvey, 'former g\>v<?rnor of South Carolina, came to the end of a low? trial marked by lo^al proaccutions Utrowitvx out of the failure* of the En terprise Hank of ChaHoston of which he was president, when he entered a plea of Kuilty hero today to a charge of lending to a corporation in which he was interested in excess of V ? the amount allowed by law. Judge John S. Wilson sentenced him to soi'vc four months in tho ataU* penitentiary or pay a fine of $400. The defendant paid the fine imposed by the coma, immediately. The pros ecution then nol pressed two other, counts contained in the indictment. The count to which the former j?ov Oinor pleaded guilty charged the lend ing of excessive sums of the bank's money to the Consolidated Truck and Automobile Company of Charleston. .Ch.'iryrs of borrowing1 oxceaaive sums ipei'Konally while an officer of the Ibank find of lending more monoy than allowed to his brother were nol pressed. While imposing sentence on Mr. HarVey, the presiding judge took oc casion to commend rhe defendant foi pleading guilty to the charge and to point to his "clean record" in .the pa.st as his reason for imposing as light a sentence "as reason and jus tice .will permit." Before sentence was passed, State Senator II. P. Searson, of Allendale ami' Rejxrescntative Kdgar A. Br6w.i of Barnwell, speaker of the House of Ropresentalives, both of whom rep rcsonUxl the defendant, addressed the court in their client's behalf and asked for mercy on the grounds ol the "mere technicality of the offence.' They also called attention to what they termed the stress of the times in which fhe offense was committed. Solicitor Randolph Murdolph, in charge of the prosecution, signified his willingness to refrain from press ing the second -and thiiti counts in consideration of the plea of guilty to thq first. As a result of the failure of tin Enterprise Bank, two imiicimento were returned in September, 192'!, against the former governor. One charged him with accepting deposit-" will) knowledge of- ihe institution' insolvency. . The other charged him with making various illegal loans. The first case, on the charge ot accepting deposits with knowledge of insolvency, was tried first in Char leston, with the result that a jury disagreed on a verdict. When the case was again called in Charleston the defense moved for a change of venue. The motion was granted by Judge Henry Jc/hnson on presentation of affidavits tending- to show that a prejudicial atmos-phere ~ existed in Charleston by reason of the failure of five banks. Attacked by the state, Judge John son's order was upheld by the state supreme court and the case was heard in Allendale in July, 192H. Despite the fact that the defense offered no testimony, relying alone upon a cross examination of state's witnesses, the former governor was acquitted after the jury had been out of the court room for about lh;r:v five minutes.

What he has to say to his subscriber.-, ought to be perfectly clear: "When I bought The Tribune March ?I, my first business was tu examine the subscription list. I found that numbers of people had not paid in two or three years. ".Some of the&e liv**' out of town and I see thorn but seldom, so I! have no way of knowing whethei or not they care for the paper, It may he that they enjoy it and have not paid merely because the matte?, has not been called to their atten* tion; or H may bo that they abomi nate the darned thing and wouldn't accept it as a gift except for use an kindling. "The point that I wish to know There's a lot of fun in printing a j village paper for people who like it, but I'm not anxious to force the. paper on anybody who doesn't like H. . i "On May 1 the subscription list will be placed on a cash basis. There after each paper will be stopped at the expiration of the subscription. "Meanwhile, those who like the paper well enough to pay good hard money for it are asked io make their fondness known by placing something on the rail for the lizard. "Others who think the paper wholly and hopelessly worthless, and yet owe money for copies <thcy 'have received are urgently requested to pay up to date and tell .the editor to go to the devil. "All who are in arrears on May 1 will be cast into outer darkcess? not in wrath, but sorrowfully and with tears. "After May 1, every mortal who gets the paper will pay regular money for it. I'm printing the thing for the joy uf it, anyway, and if no more than six people like my pro duct well enough to ante regularly ? ?why, that six and myself will have i a good time together and let the j re it of the world go by.
