reply "but 1 think he is down neAr
Cape May a-fishing."
"Has Governor Hampton issued
reqEsiiion for him on the autnori-
ties Of Pennsylvania ? He was re-
ported to be visiting Simon Calne-
Ion not long ago !" said the CORE
sponlent. II suppose they want

bJhIs III Sou5n Carolina, so the
party went to New York. 1t is
against the law of the State to take
the SGnte seal from the State III .use
without an act Of the Legislature or
an order from the governor. Old
Governor Scott didnt have any
sand. He WAS stimulated by somo
OF the boys until he gave an order
for the removal of the seal, and it
was carried to New York. The
governor WAS kept at the Fifth
Avenue Hotel for two weeks, and he
wts tight on champagne all the time.
remember looking into the finan-
cial boards parlor at tho hotel one
evening. Chamberlain, Kimpton,
Pal ker and the governor were there.
Pauline Markham sat by old SEQ tt,
and every time he signed one of
those conversion bonds she would
kiss him and atfix the State sell to
it. In that way about Si,00O,000 of
these bonds were Issued"
