All School Warrants ia.u.d for CIR

to Pay for Them, Null
and Void.
News and Courier. !

Columbia, Aug 20.-A case which
interest great many people, and
which will meSn great deal to GER
tain interests, WAS decided today by
Judge Gary. He holds that the war
rants issued in payment of chart
supplies are null and void. The de-
cision was rendered in the case of
the Loan aud Exchange Bank, which
hold about SLIP.
Judge Gary in his opinion says:
"This is IN application for q writ
OF mandamus requiring Frank w.
Shealey, as county treasurer Of Lex.
ington county, to pay to plaintiff
certain warrants drawn by various
boards of trustees for tho several
school districts Of Lexington coun-
ty, and approved by the county Su
pervisor of said county.
"The two cases are similar and as
the same questions arc involved in
both it was agreed by counsel that
both should be heard together.
Without undertaking to state fully
the issues raised by the pleadlngs,
am satisfied that the whole case can
be disposed Of by considering the
main question III the case, which is
tho validity Of the warrants Of the
several school districts upon the
county treasurer for Lexington coun.
ty. The said warrants we're drawn
at a period ranging from the 10th of
December, 1898, to tho 2lst Of Jan.
uary, 1899, and wore made payable
January /, 1900.
"The contention of the defendant
is that the several boards Of trustees
had no power to draw said warrants,
for the reason that the same were in
excess OF the funds appropriated to
their school districts at tho time said
warrants were drawn aud are there.

AClAUf.lN REPLIES.

In repl y to Mr.. Johnstone's arsu
ment Senator McLaurin, in conclu-
SION. said relative to the statemen
that he had said that Mckinley
ought to be re elected by acclsma
ton, that he had said it would be
wrong to defeat Mckinley because
OF the conduct Of the war If the
issue WAS to be made on the conduct
of the war he ought to have been re-,
elected. lie said it was an improper
cause for fight for Mckinley had
done fairly, appointed southerners,
etc. If he had consulted his own
pocketbook and comfort he would
have accepted the position on the
Philippine commission. 1t was q
case OF damned if he did and if he
did not. lie did not accept because
he did not propose to retire under
fire and he Intended to come back
and render an account Of his service.
After MIR. Johnstone was defeated
he was going to see if he could not
get him q position out there. (Much
applause and laughter.)
AS to the patronage in South
Carolina he said all he wished was
to have been in CIreenyille. Sncb

prohlblted from making Contracts for
any year in excess of the funds for
that year. The proriso Of Section
81 of tho school law of 1896 is as
follows: provided, that all con.
tracts which boards Of trustees may
make In excess OF the funds appro-
priated to their district shall be
void
Let us now look into tho contract
entered into by this board and ascor-
tain if such contract comes within
thoao prohibited by tho act The
warrant issuod by said board shows
On its fuco that Hnid board purchased
for tho use Of their school district
either in Dccombor, 1898, or in Jan
uary, 1900, certain charts for tho uAo
Of nchools, known us Evnnn's Arth-
metioal Study.
at certainly was the purpose and
intent of SAID board that thrso charts
were to be paid for out Of tn" school
fund, for which they were purchased.
Finding, however, at the cato Of
such purchase that thrro was no
fund spplic"bl" to the payment of
such purchase thoy attomrt to avoid
their dilemma by expressing, III the
warrant that the samn IL to hr paid
out Of u fund 10 he accumulated or
raised in the future, and, tho.rforr,
, mako til" same payable on the first
day OF January, 1900, year later.
If then there was no fund ON hand
with which to pay this ind"hteinrss
, the conclusion is irresistille that
such contract WAS void nn,irr said
y proviso, as being in excess Of the
funds apportioned to said school dis
trict, and, therefore, unauthorized
and made void 10y the statute. The
= petitioner in this case must hnvo
known from tho very terms Of III
warrant that his contract was one
prohibited by law. He cannot,
t therefore, plead that hn was tho pur-
, chasor Of q negotiable in3rbtcdncs>,
without notice; the warrnnt that he
, purchased apprised him OF the fact
, that it was issued without authority
Of law. Besides tho instrument it
self If not such Il negotiable paper
| as would protect the purchaser. lie
took it subject to all equities aud
> legal defences that could bn pleaded
between the original parties.
t My conclusion is that the board
of trustees made contract for the
purchase of charts for tha use OF
!. their several schools at time when
thore WAS no fund availubla for such
y purchase, and tho mere fact that
said claims wore made payable at Il
later or future time ont Of funds not
then apportioned to their said schools
was simply IN effort to avoid the
foregoing provision of law, aud that
L said contract Of purchase is null and
4 void.
ut is, therefore, ordered that the
writ Of nandamus be refused

2. Because l considered the execu.
