the little speeches of the various
senators in their appeals for the
poor clerks whose salaries had
been reduced by the House in its

The above is a true and correct
apportionment made in accord
ance with the Teachers Monthly
Reports as are found in this Office.
I find many pay warrants drawn
by teachers and no reports at
tached. Each warrant must be
accompanied by a full and COM
plete report for each month. 1 also
urge that the trustees make a COM
plete annual report to this office
on or before the first day of August
of each year, according to Section
12 of the School Law. for without
such reports it is impossible for
me to make true and correct ap-
portionment. Z again urge that
each and every trustee appointed
by the county board of education
come to this office in person, as 1
wish his signature, and at the
same time get the apportionments.
for the several districts.
I find that several of the school
districts during the fiscal year just
passed have overdrawn their ap-
portionment, while others have un-
expended balances.
No teachers pay warrant will be
approved unless signed personally
by at least majority of the trus-
tees of each district and also &C
companied by a teachers monthly
report for the month for which
ssid warrant is drawu.

The picture of a South Carolinan
testifyipg against his own State
in Congress is one to make angels
weep. We clip the following from
the official report:
DR.. Sampson Pope, independent
candidate for governor, took the
stand. DR.. Pope characterized as
great fraud the constitutional
convention, and reviewed at length
the circumstances attending it..
Uneasy for fear that the Conserva-
tive element of the State. would
join the Republicans and form a
Just Constitution; he said, the
Democratic leaders, Senator Till
man and others, entred inteo q
most damnable agreement. The
scheme to which they bound
themselves and their followers
provided, among other things, that
no white man should be disfran-
chised except for crime; that the
whites should be insure d sup.
remacy, and the Constitution
when adopted should not be sub
mitted to the people. He had gone
gone into the courts and endeavor.
ed to stop the election of delegates
to the convention, but had beer
unsuccessful.
South Carolina, he said, was out
i1oii IN conigress was concerned. i
was admitted to the Union provid
ed that it did not change the Con.
stitution of 1898, which was ap.
proved by congress. The legisla
ture of the State had broken fait b
long ago, and as a matter of fact
no senator Or representative
Democrat or Republican, had 6
right sit in the national legislature
Further, when the present Con.
stitution was adopted, it was never
submitted to the people for ra.
tification, those framing it never
took the oath and a number oil
them held other Offices under the
government. The provisions ot
the Constitution were violated in
each instantance. The result
was that thousands were deba rred
from suffage. These were facts
and if the committee would go tc
South Carolina and take testimony
or send for persons and papers, il
could easily get at the facts. II
was an important matter and one
which congress should look into.
Replying to a question by Mr.
Talbert (Dem. of South Carolina
as to the part he took in certain
legislation in the State, he said
that it was enacted before he. be-
came a member of the legislature
He added that the Gales had fallen
from his eyes, he was now a'pro-
tectionist and an outspoken Re-
publican, and he only regretted
that he had not Joined this party
12 years ago. He was in it
now to stay and would work to
convert the people of his State.
He even hoped to convert his
friend Mr. Talbert.
