AS TO THE CHARTS.
SOME MORE LIGHT ON
THE MUCH-TALKED-OF
MATTER.
The following correspondence bas
been mailed to Gov. Eilerbe by R
O- Evans & Co., of Chicago, and
contains considerable information in
regard to the mach talked of matter
that has not heretofore come to light :
Florence, 3 C., April 20, 90
B 0. Evans k Co., 211 and 212 E
lg Madison St, Chicago, III.
Gentlemen : Your letter to me aa
a member of the state board of educa
tion, of date April 14th 1899, has
been received.
From a careful perusal of your com
munication, I deduce that yon think
the state board should take some ac
tion to protect innocent purchasers
of paper, given yon and your agents,
for charis and school supplies and
calling my attention to an opinion
rendered by Assistant Attorney Gen
eral Gunter as to continuing con
tracts, as overruling an opinion given
by Assistant Attorney General Town
send, upon -which latter opinion you
acted in disposing of your goods
The state board of education has
some judicial powers but not of the
. nature you speak of, the validity of
the claims which you have assigned
the banks and others comes under the
jurisdiction of the courts Opin
ions of the attorney general are
promulgated for the guidance of ofS
cials and no wieght in the courts,
simply because they are the opiinions
of that officer, but only so far as they
concur with the law as laid down by
the courts. Ton were given a per- ;
mit by the state board to offer your
wares to the county boards of educa ,
tion and if the county board of any
county gave you a written permit to
sell your goods in that county and i
- you contracted with the trastee of j
a school district in the county and j
delivered them goods, corresponding j
to the samples and prices as filed j
with the state superintendent if <
the board of itrasteeu approved and t
signed your data, and the same was j
countersigned by the county treas ur \
er to the credit of the diotrict, the i
treasurer ic my opinion is bound to j
pay the claim and if he refuses so to t
do your remedy is though the courts, t
If you bare complied with the law i
at above laid down and the county
superintendent; refuses to approve the <
claim after having been approved by
a majority of tho trustees, then and c
SD that event I am of the opinion the i
courts will give you redress in the \
proper action before them, aa in my t
view the signature of the county \
superintendent ts eutirely ministe i
rial. c
As to a claim, part to be paid this i
year nd part another, until the courte t
decide to toe contrary, I hold the t
views expressed io the opinion of t
Assistant Attorney General C P. i
.Townsend Io any event your rem g
edy is through the courts and it ia 1
both ample and complete c
Referring to your remarks ou t
school libraries I have to say that if s
there is any law allowing the par- <
chase with public fonds of school t.
libraries I have overlooked it and as c
a member of the state board of edu t
cation will most strenoosly oppose [
the purchase of school libraries. c
Yours, cte , \

THE PUBLISHER'S SIDE c
Chicago. Ill , April 25th, '99 I
Hon W. F Clayton, Fioience, S C, 1
Pear-Sir : Replying to your favor (
of April 20&h will thank you for your
courtesy and will say that our letter
was prompted because it appeared to ]
na that an attempt was being made i
by some of the state officers to en c
courage the repudiiiou of the obliga t
tiona made by the school trustees for c
charts, etc The proposition origi- t
nally made to the state board of 1
education very distinctly specified i
that we would give ote, two or even c
three years' time m cases where the 1
trastees desired it This proponition
was made by us io all good faith and <
wa , we believe, considered to be a <
favorable proposition by members of t
the state board. We were fortified t
by opinion of the former state super J
intendent and attorney general in (
which it was stated that the trustees (
had authority to issue time warrants t
or to anticipate funds that they were 1 c
certain to receive This w 3 also e
the opinion of our attorneys, and* is, 1
if we correctly interpret your letter, i
also your opinion. From your letter t
it would appear that you tbonght that 1
we were seeking to have some action i
by the state board that would protect <
our interests. Permit us to say that
we are as nearly disinterested parties
at the present time as you could find.
We made a contract with Mr Tut
wiler for the sale of our charts in
South Carolina, and the charts that
were sold there were purchased and
paid for by him, and we did no busi
ness whatever with the schools of .
the State, excepting that we manu
factured the goods and supplied them
to 31r. Tutwiler. All business was
done by him and agents employed
by him and in bis own name. He
has disposed of all the time paper
received with the exception of a very
fm warrants, the amount of which !
ia inconsequential, We mention this
that you may know that the repudia
tion of these warrants will not effect
us, and as far as Mr Tutwiier is con
cerned he could not be held respon
sible for the paper as it is not
negotiable and besides that he would
be unable, we believe, to meet its
payment if he were responsible for
it. So far as the goods sold are con
cerned, we wish to say that they are
in every respect duplicates of the
samples fi ed with the state superin -
tendent and they were in all cases
sold at precisely the prices agreed
upon. Tfc ere is absolutely no reason
for toe repudiation of any claim in
the State unless they are illegal, as
claimed by Mr. Gunter, excepting
possibly a very few where the agents
were over zealous to make sales, and
we do not believe that there have
been many cases of :his kind. If
in any case the agents have used
illegal or criminal method* we stand
ready to do our -share toward giving
them their just,, deserts. In conclu
sion permit us to say that we are not
tbe ones to seek redress in the courts
for we do not hold a dollar's worth
of the South Carolina paper.
Allow us in conclusion to say that
we admire your frankness with refer
ence to school libraries. If your
people do not want them, we have
nothing to ssiy. If a majority of your
board do want them, we are anxious
to have our proposition given con
sideration.
Thanking you for your courtesy,
we beg to remain
Yery truly yours,
R 0. Evans & Co.
NO CIVIL GOVERNMENT
FOR PORTO RICANS.
Washington, May 4.-It is the in
tention of the admioistratioo oot to
ask of congress next winter any legisla
tion looking to the establishment of a
iivil government io Porto Rico
The preliminary report of the .Porto
Rican commission will be submitted to
be president and the secretary of war
in about ten days. It will deal with
;he questions which the committee has
investigated aod which relates solely
lo military admioistratioo. The matter
it tariffs will be ignored, on the ground
ihat it will present a subjec t for ooo
.ressiooal action. It is the opio ion of
nembera of the commission that it will
>e at least two, od probably three,
rears before Porto Rico eau be given a
trritorial government. Io she mosa
ste, it ts proposed to continue the
s Unary administration which has been
tstabltsbed sod ask no legislation from
.o og ress
This information is interesting be
taute it was the distinct understanding
.moog senators .and representatives
ffben congress adjourned last March
bat at the next session a code of laws
ronld be devised fer Porto Etoo, and
bat the omi government should sno
tted the military as quickly as pos
ible. Tbs contrary programme of
be administration is not apt to
>e received with complaisance by
be Porto Ricans, who are very anx
ons to bave a territorial form of
'overomeot under the laws of tbe
jotted States with the least possible
lelay lt will rest with ooogress, of
tourse, to decide whether the military
hdmioistrattoo shall be continued, but
vito both houses in sympathy with the
resident, tbe latter may be able to
tarry-out his plans. At the same time,
he Democrats are likely to make
>oliticai capital out of the effort to
icntinuc tbe military in control after
sar has ended.
Tbe members of thc commission
ippointed by President McKinley to
nvestigate and report upon matters
tonneoted with our insular possession
jeid their first meeting in this city
Tuesday The commission consists of
Jeneral Kennedy, Major Walkins and
judge Curtis.
They have just returned from Porto
iico, wbere they spent over six weeks
n an exhaustive investigation into the
sooditions upon the island. While
here there they visited the principal
sities and towns and listened to sugges
tions from ali classes of the population.
Tbe commission will ocoupy the rooms
n the Lemon building in which the war
lommiseioo and the beef inquiry board
reid their sessions.
Louis Monos Rivera, former Premier
>f Porto Rico, bas arrived herc to
iscuss with the authorities the oondi
ion of affairs on the islaod, particularly
he depressed commercial conditions.
Accompanied by Senor Gonzaia de
^aesada, he oalled yesterday on

The Documents ia the S. C.
& Ga. Lease Filed in Co
lumbia.
Yesterday the "operating agree
ments" between the ' Southern and
the South Carolina and Georgia Rail
way companies, by whicb the South
ern t8kes charge of the South Caroli
na Georgia for 30 yeats-until May
1, 1929-was filed in the office of the
secretary of state It is a very
elaborate document, giving all the
specifications as to the duties of the
parties of both sides ; but to a lay
man it tells practically nothing as to
tbe amount of the annual lease. The
most important stipulations are that
the Southern undertakes to pay the
interest on the first mortgage bonds
of the South Carolina and Georgia
amounting to $5,750,000, and the
interest on tho first mortgage bonds
of the Augusta Southern amounting
to $400,000, both sets of bonds being
of the 5 per cent, variety. The
Southern is also to pay $500 annually
for the maintenance of the organiza
tion of the South Carolina and
Georgia Railroad company, and make
any necessary advances upon the
debt of the leased properties. The
document is dated April 29.
Another paper of some interest in
the transfer was filed with the secre
tary of state yesterday afternoon,
it was "the report of the consent of
the stockholders of guarantee of
bonds of the Sumter and Wateree
River Railroad company and increase
of debt of the South Carolina and
Georgia Railroad company in accord
ance with the provisions of Sec.
1510 revised statutes.;; lo the paper
appears this statement : "The con
sent of the stockholders of the South
Carolina and Georgia Railroad com
pany was obtained to a proposition
Lo guarantee the payment of the
principal and interest of Hie bonds of
the Sumter and Wateree River Raii
road company of the par value of
fl00,000." The document is signed
JJ Francis A. Healey, chairman of
the stockholders' meeting, and the
late affixed is April 20 --The State,

SLOWLY IS FALLEN JUS
TICE RECOVERING
STRENGTH IN
FRANCE
Paris, May 3. Slowly bot steadily
he net is closing around the French
general staff in tbe Dreyfus revision
nquiry. Gen Mercier, who was
ninitter of war at tbe time Dreyfus
faa condemned, on being called
ipoo by M. de Freycinet, the
be present minister of war to pro
loee the report regarding the secret
lossier which Lieut Col. Do Paty de
)Iam testified he bad tent to Mercier,
eplied that be bad destroyed it, and
ie called Gen. Gonae as a witness to
be troth of this statement. Unfor
unately for Mercier, Gen Goose bad
already testified before tbe court of
aesat on that, although Mercier
lestroyed the original, be kept a
:opy.
Another anti-Dreyfus argument bas
eceived its death blow
Gen Zurlinden, military governor
if Paris, and others, while testifying
eforc the court of cassation, attach
id great importance to the closing
entence of the Bordereau. "I am
tarting for the manoeuvres," as prov
ng the gu'lt of Dreyfus and the inno
cence of Esterhazy, inasmuch as the
taff probationers were only notified
?n August 29th that they wonld not
ie required to attend the man
euvres It bas now been proved
hat this notification was actually
lated May 17. Therefore Dreyfus
ould not nave written "I am start
og for the manoeuvres" in thefollow
og August,
It is rumored that it was Lieut,
lol Du Patty de Clam himself who
ommunicated to Figaro the deposi
ions made before the court of cassa
ion.
