Seigler, charged with the murder here more than a year ago, of Policeman Wade Patterson, and convicted o] manslaughter, and given a seven-year sentence in the State penitentiary; was carried to Columbia this afternoon to begin his period of servitude. Seigler, who is one of the best known men in the county, descendant of one of the oldest and best known families, and himself a prominent farmer, was tried last year and convicted. His attorneys appealed for a new trial. The arguments were made in the Supreme Court in January, and last month this tribunal handed down a decision affirming that of the Aiken Court. Seigler has taken this very hard and he goes to the State penitentiary a broken and humilated man. The local authorities were somewhat perturbed here this morning when a guard, Jennings Mims, from the penitentiary, asked for the prisoner, and they refused at first to deliver Seigler, basing their refusal upon the allegation that Minis was too intoxicated to take Seigler into his custody. Solicitor Gunter was conferred with anent the matter, and advised Sheriff Howard that Mims had the papers for Seigler, and that there was nothing to do but deliver him, but that it would be advisable to send an Aiken deputy along to keep a watch over both of them. But at midday another guard arrived from Columbia and solved the problem for the local authorities by taking charge of both men. He stated that after Mims's departure from Columbia it was learned that he left in an intoxicated condition, and the second guard was sent out on the next UctilJL. Sheriff Henry H. Howard, who sternly disapproves any laxity in official circles, was indignant and very much wrought up over the entire thing. He said: "I want them to send sober men after my prisoners." There were no bidders for the Cox cotton mills, offered for sale at Anderson Thursday by the Federal court. The upset price named by the court was $200,000. The mills are supposed to be worth $400,000, but apparently no one wanted them. i You Been, Come See W .

Columbia, April 4.?AnnounceL ment was made yesterday that the b governor had signed the note for . $30,000 for the rural schools of the state. Accompanied by the announce' ment was a statement severely denouncing S. T. Carter, state treasurer, and A. W. Jones, comptroller general. The three officialsVompose the state's financial board. The question of securing money for the schools has been hanging fire for one week and the closing of many schools was imminent by reason of the governor's refusal to act with the other members of the financial board. The banks refused to accept the note of the state unless it carried the signature of the chief executive. The borrowing of money was made necessary because of the passage of the one-mill school tax. The fund from this tax will not be available until October of this year. Just why the governor changed his mind at the eleventh hour is not known. The Columbia Record, the governor's recognized organ, and the only daily paper in South Carolina "that can get something from the governor's office," quotes him yesterday afternoon as having given out the following: "Now it is clearly in the hands of the governor as to whether certain schools of the state shall be closed or whether they shall be run, and the comptroller general, and the state superintendent of education and the state treasurer have absolutely failed in their purpose to close the schools and say the governor did it, in order to try and injure the gov ernor politically. "Now the governor says to them, 'I have taught you a lesson; I will sign your note; I will let these schools continue to run, and show to the people of South Carolina that you did not put any ring in my nose and that you did not lead me with a rope.' " In reply to this the three officials in question, S. T. Carter, J. E. Swearingen and A. W. Jones last night came back by also issuing statements: +nric?f onH V/UJtjy JUCCUJLL t l,U UTTltJl, uuu squirm. We put the ring in his nose all right and a rope in his ring.

Jacksonville Youth Shoots Man to Defend Mother, Says Report. Jacksonville, Fla., April 7.?P. Hayes, a 16-year-old white boy, is held a prisoner in the county jail here, charged with the murder of Sylvester Duncanson, in South Jacksonville, late this afternoon. Duncanson, so it is alleged, arrived home in a bad humor and announced that he was going to kill all present. With this remark he drew a long kniffe and severely stabbed his wife, then made for the youth, who, with his mother, were boarding in the house, the mother grabbed up a shot gun and was about to aim when young Hayes took it from her, killing Duncanson. Mrs. Duncanson is in a serious condition and cannot live. Boy Killed by Train. Spartanburg, April 5.?An unidentified negro boy, about 17 years old, was killed by a train on the Southern Railwray near here this afternoon. He is thought to have been sleeping on the track. It is hoped that his identity may be discovered through the fact that the great toe of his right foot is missing. couldn't stand the gaff," said Comptroller General Jones. "The governor, as usual, has so distorted the facts that his interview is hardly worthy of notice. The governor is chafing from his failure to stab tbe state treasurer ana tne comptroller general i"n the back," said State Treasurer Carter. Superintendent Swearingen said: "Politics have not influenced my course in the matter. Finding that he had to sign the note for $30,000 or to bear the reproach for closing the schools, the governor quit his crazy foolishness and affixed his signature." "No intelligent man claims that the money could not have been secured without his signature. He waited a month 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 bullfighting 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 his own folly," said State Superintendent of Education Swearingen.
