anu myself, DuL aller DelnR 80 StTeuuously
advised by you not to do so, decided to let
things go as they had gone and tell you and
Barney nothing Of it, receiving as reward
the scorn and condemnation of those now in
possession of the facts.
If you will oblige me so much you will
burn this letter up and let things rest as they
are, for since Barney Evans received nothing
you can not do better than to keep him out
of it and will only injure Governor Evans in
his race for the senate and the Reform party
generally.
left home last night because | didn't
want to have this thing thrown in my face
day in and day out for the balance of my life,
as knew you would do calling me Zone who
had dragged down the family" which epithet
no doubt deserve. AS to what have don
with the money, don't know. 1t went
about as easily as it came, to- don't know
where and am not ~ well of as when |
started.
Now let me beg you TO suppress the facts
as much as possible, for the thing Is done
now and no good can come from publicity.
1t was fault of the brain and not of the
heart. Respectfully, W. Il. NJ.
This letter | also showed Governor
Evans, who advised me TO DESTROY
II.
Colonel Tompkins, as q member OF
the State board, and |, as the State
commissioner, had done our whole
duty when reporting the matter 10 the
governor and chairman of the board,
who, in his official capacity, requested
the matter held back, saying, "he
would take action at the right time. "
Does he consider that after holding it
so long, only to those to whom he
gave it, as slander against me, and
now, after having failed a nomination
in the first primary. the right time to
give it to the public is late into the
night, just before his second race-too
late to get in a statement from the
other side.
Governor Evans had been endeav-
oriDg to get me out of his way for
some time, and now thinking this the
opportunity, he proposed that should
resign. AT first was so humiliated
over the affair that I consented to do
so, but after mature deliberation, l
determined that to do so would be to
acknowledge my guilt, while 1 had
done no wrong, and refused to do so.
Governor Evans says he had no proof
against me.

Gov. Evans was seen at his office
yesterday as usual. He had but few
callers during the day. he talked In
teresting about his defeat, but not for
publication. He said, however, that
he had no feeling OF resentment
against the people of South Carolina
for defeating him.

COLUMBIA, s. G., September H.
The State has received the complete
official returns from all the counties
in the State and the tabulation OF the
figures, which have been carefully
verified, shows total vote of SO, 4S9,
against 1921 in the first primary.
Of this vote General Earle has recsiy-
ed 43,32S against Governor Evans's
40, 166, leaving him a majority OF
3,157. It is a noteworthy fact that
General Earle's home county gave
him 8, 154. the figures OF his final ma.
jority in the whole State lacking but
3 votes. 1t is one of the curious coin
cidences that hover around the career
of the lucky man. It was another
curious coincidence that the last re-
turns to come in last night in oHeih
form came from Beaufort, the county
in which General Earle is holding
court at present, and were conveyed
in a personal telegram bearing TIN
signature of the successful candidata u

Evans in the first primary got 80. 8.8O7;
in the second he polled only 40, 166, an
increase of only 1859 votes. It is
thus seen that he polled practically
his whole strength on the first prima

NEW YORK, May 15-The factors in
to-day's limited speculation at the Stock
Exchange were the changed attitude Of
London operators, who turned up as
sellers OF our securities, the cool re-
ception given the New York city loan
by London investors, the agitation OF
the Cuban question, both at Washington
and Madrid and the engagement OF
100000 in gold for export TO Europe
tomorrow. The fact that London
changed its position on the market was
a distinct disappointment. Yesterday
the foreigners bought fairly large
amounts Of ST. Paul and Louisville ana
Nashville. and some of the low-priced
bonds and indications pointed to still
further buying for that account. The
reserve proved true, and local operators,
who are OF the opinion that a reaction
IS overdue, took advantage Of this OPP
portunity to bring about a lower range
of prices. Manhattan's showing or
earnings for the March quarter assisted
