FRUIT OF EXTRAVA6ANCE-
State Forced to Borrow Up to Full
Limit Of Half q Million.

Columbia, May 25.-The State
treasurer's office expects to be forced
to borrow the full limit Of half a
million dollars allowed by law this
year, owing to the heavy appropria-
tions and the fact that the amounts
borrowed last year, $3.50, 900, had to
be paid in January, making a biz
hole in the winter tax receipts.
So far already 100000 has been
borrowed, on notes payable next Jan.
uary. and within 60 days it will like
ly be necessary to borrow from $3.50.
600 to 100000, according to the de.
mands that may be made upon the
office between now and the first Of
July. The amount of the next bor-
rowing will depend largely upon how
Winthrop, the South Carolina Uni-
versity and the Citadel call for their
special appropriations of $4,000
each.
Considering business conditions the
interest paid on these notes is ex-
ceedingly small, less than per cent.
the same as paid last year. The bor.
rowing is being done through the Pal
metto bank of this city.

FLORENCE MYSTERY ExpLAINE,n
II. Lee Brunson was $1,000 Short
Fact Announced by Officials of the
Bank of Florence.

Florence May 26.-The officials OF
the Bank Of Florence gave out anoth-
er statement this morning in regard
to the Lee Brunson affair. After 60.
ing over the books very carefully they
have found a shortage Of $4,000. They
have not yet finished their work ON
his books, but it is not thought that
the shortage will exceed this amount.
The officials state that he did not car
~ all Of this amount with him at
the time, as that much i'm cash would
have been missed from the vault The
idea seems to be that this amount waa
taken in small sums from time to
time. This information comes as a
severe blow to the many friends Of
Lee Brunson here and throughout the
State.
When the statement was given out
that there was a shortage In Brunson'a
accounts, his father, Judge w. A.
Brunson, and the other relatives
promptly made god the shortage. and
any other that may be found, thus
obviating any prosecution OF his bond.
Had the shortage not been made
good though, the customers Of the
bank would not have been injured in
| any way, as by the last statement Of
the bank, it showed a surplus Of $20.-

Glucose In Syrup.
Another New Orleans seizure was 80
barrels of syrup branded "open ket-
tle." The government chemists found
that instead Of being OF the highest
quality cane syrup, the liquid contain
ed a considerable percentage of corn
syrup, or. as it is probably better
known, glucose. That stuff was also
taken back by the now saddened
manufacturer. who shed tears as he
branded the barrels truthfully and
figured the amount of his loss on that
little transaction.

secretary OF agriculture, is the man
