Governor Takes Stand.

Columbia, Special.-Governor An
sci, in order to prevent the receivers
appointed by Judge Pritchard for the
State dispensary fund from getting
the money now in tho various banks,
has sent out letter to the 81 banks
holding this money, warning them
that under no circumstances must this
money be released without the pro-
duction of the collateral deposited
for security and with out the check
signed by the chairman of the COM
mission and countersigned by the
State treasurer.
This move on the part Of the gov
ernor will prevent the receivers TAX
ing any action even wien they have
qualified and are ready to serve.
Should the special masters pass ia
vorably on any of the claims and or
der the money paid without the con-
sent Of the commission it will not be
possible for the claimants to get their
money, and the issue will then be up
to Judge Pritchard for contempt pro-
ceedings unless the case is settled be-
fore that time, rs it is believed will
he done.
The letter states that this does not
refer to the $153,00O released by
Judge Piitchard and drawn through
The National Loan and Exchinse
bank Of this city. This money was
assessed on each bank having the de-
posits, 22l-2 per cent being with
drawn from each for the payment of
claims approved by the commission.
The letter says:
"Gentlcmen: You are herey noti-
field that if any o fthe State dispen-
sary funds in your hands are turned
over to any one, without the produc-
ton of your colloaerais and without
the check being signed by DR.. W. j.
Murray, chairman, and countersigned
by the State treasurer, You will be
held responsible for the same by the
State of South Carolina.
"This does not refer to the % -
per cent. which has been drawn
through the National Loan and Ex-
change banks and was authorized
both by the commission and the
United States court.
"Yours very truly,
"M. F. ANSEL. =

Greek Laborers Attacked.

Washington, N. c., special.-Ac'
cording to reports arriving in this
city there came near being race
riot in Belhaven Tuesday night. II
seems that the Interstate Cooperage
Company, employing between 400 and
500 men in Belhaven, had brought
down party Of sixteen Greek labor
ers to take the place of negro work
men. These Greeks, one of whom
was married, were living in four dwell
ling houses on the compaay's prop
erty. Tuesday night about 10 o'clock
while in these houses and unarmed,
the Greeks were attacked by mob
of fifty or sixty negroes, supposed to
be led by several whites. This mob
shot up the houses and forced the
Greeks, both male and female, to flee
to a nearby swamp in order to save
their lives. Later it developed that
five of the Greeks were seriously, II
not fatally, wounded. The mob, un-
able to find them in the swamps, dis
banded fol the night.

Money to Be Loaned for Insurance
Office.

Columbia, Special-Governor An
sci and State Treasurer Jennings will
shortly arrange to borrow $1,000 for
the salary Of the State insurance
commissioner, Ma. F. Fl. McMaster.
The general assembly failed to place
tie salary in the Appropriation bill
and according to the law, although
the act was apssed, the money could
not be paid out this year. However
the next general assembly will pay
the claim and the money can be ad-
vanccd by the banks. The act was
also deficient in providing quarters
for the commissioner. 1t directed the
secretary of state to provide an Of
fee, but thero is at present no room
in the capitol with the exception Of
the committee rooms that can be
used and permission was not OBJ
tained from the general assembly for
the use Of these rooms. The secretary
of state therefore is powerless to
provide quarters and temporary ar
arrangements will have to be made by
the commissioner until the next scs-
sion of the general assembly.
