r m SCHOOL NOTE t CnEINOI BLEASE GATE IN AT LAST MINUTE SCHOOLS WILL NOW RUN The Governor “Had to Come Aero#*, Ooaldn’t 8Umd the Gaff," Hay* Comptroller-General Jone*—Snpt. Hweartngen and Treasurer Carter Severely Arraljcn Governor. "Coley needn’t try to twist and •qatrm. We put the ring in his nose ell 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 etand the Gaff," was the comment of Comptroller A. W. Jones, Thursday afternoon, when shown the interview Governor Rlease gave out accompany ing his statement that he had allixed Ills signature to the note for $30,000 In borrowing money for the rural schools, the Comptroller-General and the Ktate Treasurer having previous ly sig ned their names. The Palmetto Hank Thursday in formed the Governor that the note was not negotiable unless signed hy him along with tho Comptroller-Gen- sral and the State Treasurer. He signed the note and the Palmetto Csnk on the note signed by these tfcree officers loaned the State the flO.OOO necessary for the common schools to finish out their term this year. Id an interview, the Governor charged that the Comptroller-Gen eral. the State Treasurer and the Su perintendent of Education had tried ta» Injure him politically in this mat ter by hoping that he wouldn’t sign the note and thus be able to say that ha closed the schools. It was in re ply to this criticism that the Comp 1 troller-General made the comment Caoted when asked If he had any statement (o make. Hwearingrn'N View*. State Superintendent of Education Swearingen was more emphatic in his eharacten/.itlon of the Governor. Said he: "Polities have not influenced mj course in this matter Finding that he had to hlvn the note for fiJO ii iO or to hear the reproach of closing the schools, the Gowrnor quit his oraiy foolishness and affixed his signature. 1 am compelled to believe that he did so with reluctance No Intelligent man will claim that the money could have been borrowed without the Gov ernor's signature. He waited a month to give it, although I have asked him once In person and twice In writ ing to lend his co operation He Imagined that the note would never be presented to him He tried every moans to avoid signing it His bull fight! ng Interview Is not the shout of the victorious msta lour, hut the dy ing snort of the vanquished hull, suf fertng from the ring In hts nose plac ed there bv Ills own folly “The spleen and billingsgate of the Governor do not vex me He tried to defeat the one-mill school tax hy vetoing the law Fortunately the leg Islature passed It over his veto lie 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 statesman- Alp "The school trustees of Anderson meet May 6 to discuss this situation, and the school trustees of Greenville ■set May 7 to have the same discus sion. The country people whose schools may now run six or eight weeks longer should feel grateful to ghe Chief Executive for the b^uevo- Isot Interest he has been forced to manifest Is the educational welfare Wf tholr children.” Garter’s Comment. In similar vein State Treasurer 9. T. Carter flaya .the Governor: He •ays: — "The Governor, as usual, haa so ilslorted the facts that his interview Is hardly worthy of note. It Is a qnestlon as to who put the ring in his nose, but it served the purpose. The Governor is probably chaflng from his failure to stab the Comptroller-Gen- nral and State Treasurer in the back, behind closed doors, when ho sent a request to the Senate finance commit- toe asking that others be put on the borrowing committee in their place and because he went openly before the Senate and asked that his request ba complied with. 9 "If this last circus performance is a sample of the lessons taught by the Governor, he will have to con tinue his school." After quoting a copy of the letter •f Vashler Matthews, of the Palmetto Bank, to him, and the cashier tb the attorneys of the bank and their reply, which, in substance stated that the ■tote to be legal and binding on the Btite must be signed by the State Treasurer, Comptroller-General, and the Governor, Governor Blease, In his Interview says: Blease's Statement. "This sustains absolutely the posl- which I have been taking, to wit: that the Comptroller-General fiM Stats Treasurer had ao authority to borrow pagr amount of FLEE FOR THEIR LIVES SHAWNHKTOWN IS ALMOST WIP ED OUT. All flnt One Hundred of the Three Thou Hand Population Seek Safety From Flood. All that is left of Shawneetown, 111., is the few substantial brick and stone buildings behind the main levee, and they are considered un safe. There are less than 100 per- pous left In the former town of 3,000. They are In the second and third sto ries of the Main street buildings, the structures on the highest street in the town. A high wind, rising at 10 o’clock Wednesday morning, com pleted the destruction begun by the opening of the south levee Tuesday. The water within the levees was up to the fifty-seven foot level of the Ohio Kiver. The forty-five miles an hour tempest lashed the broad waters of the Ohio into a rolling, toss ing sea. The breakers dashed over the already submerged levees. Be tween the churning waters and the southwest gale frame building fell to pieces and the more substantial stnieliires were shaken. A break'dii the northern levee also added to the danger of the town, the main force <>| the Ohio striking the embankment rapidly spread and soon a swift current was dashing*through the resideii'-e section carrying all be fore it. Hy night the Ohio stood be tween forty-five and fifty feet, accur ate reading being Impossible because of the huge swells rolling in. The entire north and east levees are submerged. The levee hotels, heretofore considered impregnable of flood attack, were deserted by the several hundred men who had pre ferred them to refuge with their fam ilies In the highest buildings in the town. The State guards were trans ferred from their camps to the refuge , camp* on the hills when the levees negan to crumble before the wind and water Inirinv the six hours’ storm the two big yawls of the Naval Reserve r ernoved from the second stories of homes, previously considered on high I ground, dozens of fim.bes who I "I I hel|. ve,| t ll !: se] ve : ; ,.i f e \ , > f i' ) 1 : I ties but Cl.ltlV II irro w esc 1 e S, were 1 I ■ rd of \\ 1 die *• lav n cV The 1 ih» G o \ e 1 nor he not requested to p’opei'v damage will now run ;uto .tb** imlHons. 1 a re#* millions be-.ng eotundere.l 1 cons' rvaM v e « sinuate 1 money for She State of South Giro I Una without the co operation and 1 conference of the Governor. it doesn't make any difference who Is j Comptroller-General or State Th us 1 urer. or who Is Governor The law ) says the three shall borrow, and not la majority thereof, ami money that i has been heretofore loaned the State i has been an Illegal transaction, and ] the notes were not binding 1 believ ed this to he the law, and I noUiied j the HegUlat ure in ns plain language ! as I could to this effect "Now some newspapers and some | people have been tnaklt.it grea’ to .! t j about whnt the Governor w- u! 1 i'o nnd what the Governor would rot do.

I had a friend who wa« going to let me have It. I was going to supply this deficiency to run these schools.

Va Militia Ordered to Jail to Protect Two Prisoners Suspected of Having Killed Dispensary Constable Cooler A Beaufort dispatch to The News end Courier says the propt action of the sheriff’s office in all probabil ity prevented serious trouble Thurs day night and saved the lives of two negroes charged with the assassina tion of Dispensary Constable J. R. Cooler, who was killed in St. Helena last Saturday night. Late Thursday afternoon Sheriff White received word that a party of between ten and fifteen white men from Jasper County were headed for Beaufort, their intentions being to take from the jail and lynch the pris oners suspected of having killed Cool er. The sheriff immediately wired Governor Blease, requesting that the local military company be placed at his service, to be used in protecting the prisoners. The sheriff also dis patched several deputies in automo biles to meet the would-be lynchers, who were coming by train. The party was met by the officers about two miles from Beaufort and the men wer» persuaded to abandon their plans and give up their a.uis to the officers. In the meantime, (’apt. H. F. Townsend bad received orders from the Governor to asset bb> IBs company and go to the jail, which in structions were promptly obeyed. By this time Sheriff White had ar ranged to remove the prisoners, whom he took by boat in the direc tion of Savannah, but the sheriff re fused to divulge his destination, and it is not known where the prisoners are now. The military company, about twen ty-five strong, remained at the jail several hours, receiving orders to leave about 1 1 o’clock, after the Gov ernor had been advised that the Sit uation had been reliev.d by the re moval of the prisoners and the aban donment of the lynch,ng plans.
