Blease and Treasurer Jennings Make Statements?Slight Vurlaace. Columbia, April 28.?Following a statement by State Treasurer Jennings today, on the half-million dollar loan made for the State Government. Gov ernor Blease this afternoon made a statement, in which he differed from ('apt. Jennings In one particular. Capt. .Jennings said In his statement to the press that the notes were executed on April 20. Governor Blease states that ("apt. .leanings is mistaken in this and that the notes were not signed by him until after he and Cashier J, Pope .Mat 1 hews had seen the bankers In New York and arranged for the loan. Gov. Blease made the further statement this afternoon that .following the confer ence, at which he. Comptroller Gener al Jones and Treasurer Jennings took part, the trip to New York was discuss ed. Ho asked that Capt. Jennings go, it being stated to the Governor that one State olllclal should go. Capt. Jennings, states the governor, gave a reason for not being able to go, and the governor then felt it his duty to go to New York to represent the State. The following Is State Treasurer Jen ings's statement: "Inasmuch as some erroneous com ment has been made in regard to the money recently borrowed by the State, as required by law. I respectfully sub mit the following statement of facts in connection therewith: After due notice, the bids by the several banks for the loan to the State of $500,000 were sub mitted on the 17th day of April. These bids were considered by the Governor, Comptroller General and State Treas urer on the 19th, and the award for the loan was then made to the Palmetto National Hank, their bid being :t pet cent, with allowance of 1 per cent in terest on the average deposit during the life of the loan, which would re duce their rate to about 2 1-4 per cent: the hid of the Germanin Savings Bank, of Charleston was 3 3-4 on $200,000 for six months, or 1 1-1 per cent to January I, 1012. These were the only bids made. "On the 20th day of April notes were executed for $.r>00.000 at 3 per cent and delivered to J. I'. Matthews, cashier of the Palmetto National Hank, to whom the award had been made. We know of no agreement by which de posit of these funds will draw Interest. During my administration it has never been necessary to leave on deposit any amount of the funds borrowed. In lOOS we borrowed a portion of the money for the Stat o at S 7-8 interest. In lOlW the money was borrowed at :i per cent, us it was needed, which Is the lowest rate during my administra tion."- News and Courier. _* **** * * Hnscom Mo liehe v*. ?** + ?.****** + Fountain Inn, April 26.?Hnscom McKolvey was drowned in the creek about half a mile of Iiis home last Fri day evening about I o'clock. He bad been 111 bad health for several years, hut his health had failed very fast for the last few months and been under treatment of live doctors. Hut just lately he grew very despondent over his condition and gave up all hope of getting well. He Came from Greenville today was a week ago. had been to doctors again and didn't think he was beneflttcd any by going to them. So the next morning ho de cided he would take a trip to Char leston, thought that might help him, but it ?1 if 1 not seem to do him any good and don't think he went to Char leston with the intention of taking his life. We were greatly troubled over I his leaving without letting us know, where he was going. There never had been any trouble in the home, he was . satisfied he dearly loved Ills home. His disease had become so deep seat ed and he suffered so much that it might have affected Ills mind, and caus ed him to do that lie did at the time of Ids death. It is very sad indeed but we are not Without hope. Wo be llOVO that lie went home safe to heav en, where there will bo no suffering pain or death. He had made great pre paration for death. He left behind a statement of writing which was n great consolation to us, assuring us that he was ready to meet bis (Jod in Peace. I know he never had his heart set on the world or the things of world. I want to correct one thing I read today and that was be neverl did make any threats about committing' suicide. I have heard him say that ho thought It would be better to be dead than to live In his condition, and suffer for a number of years. I will (lose this article asking the Ft.

Lisbon, April 28.?We farmers are hustling to get our cotton seed In the ground, and from all indications we may get a cold rain most any time, yet a good season would help wonder fully as the ground is very hard right now. Wheat and oats have made won derful improvement since the last rains, but oats will not do much if it falls to rain right away. The corn that came up from the week's rain don't seem to be making much headway right at this time. A few days back one of the Milan) Bros.' line mules got out of the stable, ran up to their Tongue farm, returned home, fell in the lot near the stable, striking her head against the rock un der the corner of the stable and broke her skull. The boys carried her to the veterinary surgeon, Dr. Karle Owens, of Laurens, and the mule is at home doing line. Messrs. S. W.

They used a knife and sticks very freely, yet there was very little damage done as others interfered and stopped them. We hope that the coun ty police will make it convenient to he up and down the roads leading from these churches and hear the talk and see the conduct of some of these youngsters of both sexes and you will see what we country people have to endure more or less from time to time. That is one reason that the people that can move to town are moving. Last Sunday a week ago. two of strawber ry blondes cut up right on the church grounds at the colored church during services. Now we think these young blacks ought to be put on the chain gang and made to know that the laws of this state had to be obeyed and the the farmers don't make a good crop some degree is to blame for these ne groes doing the way they do, from the fact that he always takes him off the chain gang or pays the fine before he lets him go on. If the negro knew when he committed the crime that he would not commit it in a great many cases, . Cotton seed planting will soon be over and If we could get a good warm rain the cotton would soon be up. If of this state must be obeyed and the it will be for the want of fertilizer and preparation. We Certainly have done all we could do. Misses Zeline, Caroline and Sabylla Sullivan of Mount ville. are visiting their aunt, Mrs. Mary Milam.
