Columbia, July 23.-Former Attorn

the followl'ng this afternoon:
"The impression scons to have been
made upon 'the mind of somle persons
by the news reports from Laurens of
the hearing before Judge Watts, in the
case of Banks against the tax coin
mission, that the spectal fund appro
priated by the legislature for the use
of the governor for special counsel
was to be used to pay a fee to 1110
for services rendered the tax colmIlls

of m1y remiarks to the Judge fairly
susceptible of such colistiruction. bit

Attorney General was also referred to,
where counsel was employed and ald
contrary to my wishes s As t tolr1Y
General. These matters were referred

GiENTLEMAN WHO
OVER, THE CLOCK
IWEARLY LOST
00 O'" ';
After an intelligent old gentleman at the age of
seventy-six dropped dead in his rootn, his son found
over Two Thousand Dollars in Paper Money over the
old clock which stood on the wooden mantle, surround
ing an open crackling fire. Not even His Own Wife
knew that much money was there. The old gentle
man was simply careless. His son had married the
town bankers daughter, and the bank was trusted.
Both the old gentlemnan's MONEY and LIFE were
in danger; for burglars have a way of learning where
money is hidden, and fire at any time rnight have
burned the house.
