(Special to Greenvillo News. Columbin, S. C., March 23.-Gov ernor El lerbo to. day gave out the fol lowing statomont regarding the pen itentitary matter: "From tho testimuy of Captain Westfield the public would think I havo beon getting my laundry done freo at the ponitontiary. Some timo ago our wasborwoman left the city and we could iot got one to do our work satisfactorily. I told Col. Neal about the mattor. Ho told mo Io had a good laundry at the poniten tiary and that ho could do my laun dry for uo. I sent a part of it only and am to pay three dollars per month. About a month ago I suc coodod in getting at wiasherwoman. 1 have not had : ny laundry done at the penit.entiary since." The penitentiary investigation coin mit'oo today dragged along rather heavily. Except for some spicy in cidOts tie most of the timo was de voted to trying to straighton out the oats and brick accounts, which havo now been practically explained and emphasize the worthlessness of the annual reports. The board scem- to have accepted the statements of the farm suporin teudents aid tHy seem to have boon indifferent as to facts when report ing what seemed to be facts. Th investigation today doveloped the fact that there was a regular governor's mansion account run by Tilinau, Evans and Ellerbe. The accounts svem to be for coal, wood, cow and horso food and provisions generally, including molassos and such things, bought by Tillman and others. Til.man's account has been par tially settled, but there is a balance against him outside of the brick ac count of $57.06. No bills som to have beon sont to hiim, and the mo ney has not been collected on the c count roported to be due the farm or the penitentiary. This, as all other mansion accounts, was kept in the commissiary book. Governor Evans's account, still die, is $l8L 1.4. This was never re ported as an asset of the ponitentiary, Neol saying that Ie would attend tc it. Governror Ellerbo's coim)missary ac. coui nt, still duo, is $21 (.501. Of this amount $ 117.92 is duo for oats which he expeted to trade out for a horse Gov ernor El lerbo has been pay'ing onl his account. C2ol. Neal's comissary accoun1 showvs that he owoes $55Z3.92. Non * f these it(ris, aggregat,ing $1,000 have been reported to tile noard al aIssI ts ecp1t the ElrbeoOats. Manager Cooley, of thre Read plan tat ion, tesittified todlay that lie hiai sent. Colonelr Neal at his Easley plan tation 20,0)00 pounrds of cotton seet for wvhich no bill was made nor di he report thle shripmont for- paymont Amonrg the pigs given away b; him was a pair to Director Garris. Mr. Glarris says that about thre weeks ago he tried t.o pay for th prgs but no one scormed to knro' what they woero nort. The e.videcnce today shrowed thi in add it ion to? what free furnitur las nlr-eady been acc.ounrted for, the a ainmhier of large pieces wore ser o Tlillimain, a book case to Asbur Lat imolr anid two( wariidrobos to Dai Tokmpkins. No chargos have ovi been mtadie for these articles of fu. nit,ure. Fratik Westonr testified that bought and1 paid1 for four tons of so coal at $4.0() per ton. Manage Clooley, of the Read fatrm, test ifi that lhe swappoed a (cow with his soi in.law, and that the cow which ti farm got died before hris son-in-ln took hris swaippedl cow awvay, but ti swap was mnade b)eforo this cow dio Hie treated a hrorso for Miss I leo-be, chIarged and collected $1 3 1 his personal service but never re dered a bill for theo feed, which hi n tot been pail. 0Captain W ostfiold tostilied th Tilluan, Evans and Ellerbo idl ran smiall farms near Columbia on which they made their cow, horse and other stock feed; that those small guborna torial farms were worked by coi- ct labor and ploughed by penitentiary mules and that no charges havo boon made, or, expected, for the labor or ploughiig. Tillnan ronted about ia two acre plat from Newman, and Ellerbo's farm seems to have boo, from 15 to 20 acres. One of Eliorbe's credits is 8,000 pounds of poa vines sold at 8, a thousand and the pea vines were mado on the farm which was worked by free convict, labor. Two hundred and twenty dollars has been paid by the penitentiary for a granite curb ing for the mansion which hits nevor been takon to the quarry whoro mado. The ponitentiary has paid the bill in labor but has never been remuner ated. The ponitentiary has pid other bills for which it has not yet been rocomn pensod. The investigation will proceed to morrow. Suporintendent Cooley test.ified that he whipped negroes by giving 100 lashes on the haro buck with a leather stra).

Ho tried to soll thon but could not, owing to their wortihlessness. WienI questioned about the man agement of tihe Stato farm, Mr. lar ris, agreed, as the reports showed, that during 1808 oats h1 ad ben sold, bringing $4,4V5.70.

When this had bcon developed Mr. Patton paid a tribute to the board by theso quories: "Did you over take occasion as a member of that board to examine into %hat became of that $5,000 or $6,000, worth of oats that woro sold, and see wholohr the penitentiary cliargod itsolf with them and whiether it had been received in cash or if not whether notes or other evi dences of the indebtedness were properly set out as assets in making the reports as cash ?" "Did you ever make any such ex amination i?"' "Well, no sir; myself I did not,' answored Mr. Garris. "Did you over know any othei member of the board to mako f ny such examinati n?"
