JIM SEIGLER GOES TO PRISON
Begins Sentence of 7 years for Killing
Wade Patterson.
Aiken, April 7.?James G. 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.

GOVERNOR SIGNS NOTE.
' Severely Denounces Treasurer Carter
and Comptroller Jones.
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:

HELD ON MURDER CHARGE.
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. I
