The STATES FINANCES.
Statement from Comptroller General
SHOWING Cash on Hand In Counties.
SUBSCRIBER.

Although the State is to borrow
another 100000 next month to
meet current expenses, bringing the
total so far borrowed this year up to
the statutory limit Of half a
million, and practically all the
counties are more or less heavy bor-
rowers, statement issued by the
comptroller general today as of June
80 shows total cash on hand to the
State and county treasurers of ST.,
495, ,239.3S. This looks like bad
financing somewhere, but it is ex-
planned that in the first place the
statement as of dato June 30 shows
quite a different q e of affairs than
"a statement whi n might be gotten
up of conditions existing right now,
although the State was borrowing
money heavily at the former period.
The staten ent of the comptroller
general shows cash balances for the
State treasury of $267,79S.10 to the
credit of the general fund and S241,
116.49 to the credit of special funds,
a total of $4OS, ,91459, but since
then, it is explained, e seminual in
terest bill of $145,OO0 has been paid
and number of big items as we'll.
And among the counties it is known
that in spite of the fact that several
show large cash balances, many of
them have been borrowing 10 meet
current expenses. In the case OF
Clarendon, for instance, which &C.
cording to the comptroller generals
statement had $27, ,745. .O5 on June 80,
and is now on a strain for cash to
such an extent that a few days ago
a claim for less than S. against the
county commissioners was turned
down because there was not cash
enough on hand to meet such claims.
The comptroller generals state
ment of county caah balances on
June 80, 1909, shows Williamsburg
to have cash on hand $16,26O.l1, of
which amount S659.10 was in the
office and $15, ,6O1.01 in banks.

ELECTION AFTERMATH
As Viewed by Harpers Correspondent
State wide Prohibition the Thing.

Harpers, August 23:-The en-
citing elections both on the whlskey
question and that of the formation
Of Rutledge county have. passed
quietly into history. The people
of the county have made their Will
known at the ballot box and their
wishes should prevail.
1t is reported here that Rosemary
precinct, in Georgetown county. will
be contested. Georgetown county
gave the dispensary only 50 votes
majority, and ninety-nine votes at
Rosemary were cast for the dis
pensary. If this poll be thrown out
it would Ieaye a majority for pro-
hibition.
We note that all the wet
counties, except Charleston, have
very small majorities for the dis
pensary and we hope that the Legls-
Iature at its next session will pass a
State-w wide prohibition law. The
Will of the people Of Sc counties out
of the AZ has now been expressed and
the remaining six counties s-.
also be made to come under the law.
Those elk counties should not
have the right to SOW the seed OF
the devil; let them be governed by
the majority of the counties of the
State. If allowed to retain the
dispensary those six counties will
create almost as much evil IN the
State as though every county was
selling rum. I hope our lawmakers
will see the Importance Of passing a
State wide prohibition bill next
winter. Let the wishes of the people
rule.

A Dubious Welcome.

The good people of Lake City and
Scranton, being disappointed IN their
efforts to get new county, now talk
very strongly about coming over into
Florence. This is a mighty good
section of country, and mighty good
people, but did you ever hear of a
new member being adopted IN the

and had not hesitated to distort the
lads idea of what was right and what

Randolph began an indignant protest
against his fathers reproof when the
senator cut him short
Don't you seeT' said the senator.

In the outside world and that they
should believe your careless, foolish
old father lawful game. but that he
should be thought tool for dishonest
thieving by members of his own fam

The senator nodded. and the lines
about his mouth deepened.

Bud Haines stiffened at the word.
Every muscle in his body seemed to
become rigid as he mentally vowed
that he would retaliate against his ira
ducers If it cost him his life to do it.
Hope had Informed him only too ac-
curately, he now realized. Little did
the senator know that what he was
now about to hear would give him one
Of the severest shocks of his life.
"They told me you weren't running
straight" said Haines deliberately.
4Now, neither one Of us has been
crooked, but somebody else has been,
and this was the plan to keep us
apart"
Morton told me you were speculat-

"And Norton told me the same OF

The senator's face grew very serious
But my daughter, Miss Carolina

Haines here faced the most difficult

how to answer. His manhood rebelled
against placing any blame on a wo,

Langdon started back aghast. he

spoke the truth. Then his white head

old fighting man dropped weakly into
a chair, sobbing convulsively, broken

of the couple. 50 seriously intent on

his mind, advanced toward them.

looked up into his face entreatingly.
Randolph, observing this, quickly
stepped close to the senator's side,
saying. 81 can settle with this Mr.
Haines for you"
Waving his son aside, the senator
finally spoke.

"You are interested in Altacoola

Il am. sir" he said.
"And you told Mr.. Haines that was
interested In Altacoola lands?"
The schemer hesitated, and the SEN
ator broke in on him in rage.
Speak ont. man! Tell the truth. If
you can"
81 did," admitted the congressman
finally.
WAS there any particular reason for
your not telling the truth?" demanded
the Mississippian in threatening tone.
Il told the truth" replied Norton.
'You are interested in Them"
For an instant Langdon seemed
about to step toward him, then he con-
trolled himself.
81 didn't know It," he said.
"You have several things to learn,
senator" declared the congressman.
81 have things to learn and things
to teach" he said. But go on. Why

"You are interested, senator" replied
the trickster, making his big play,

way along the line. The formalities
between the japanese guests and those
in the receiving line were of extreme
interest to the other guests. To each
officer the ladies bowed low, without
undue haste. The admiral was courte-
Gus and cordial, and was thoroughly
democratic throughout. Consul Uyeno
wore his dress uniform with sword, and
his breast was decorated with many
orders. Admiral Ijlehi wore his Gus
tomary full-dress uniform, as did the
two captains, and upon their breasts
were numerous decorations, principally
for service during the Japan Russian
war, in which the admiral took con-
spicuous part as commander of the
flagship Mikasa during the great fight
in the Japan straits.
Throughout the reception the band
of the flagship Aso played upon the
reef garden, opening with japanese
air, and alternating with foreign Sc
lections, ranging from grand opera to
lighter popular airs. When Governor
and Mrs. Frear appeared before the
receiving line, the band played "The
Star Spangled Banner during which
all the guests arose and stood at atten-
ton. The bandsmen wore their hand
some dress uniforms with blouses of
scarlet.
The cadets, in blue blouses and white
trousers, sat upon the roof garden until
the reception was about over and dane
ing began in the makai pavilion, when
they marched into the room and mass
ed themselves upon the Eva and makai
side. That they Were deeply interest
ed was indicated IN the statement of
an officer that the majority of them
were watching foreign dance for the
first time in their lives They follow
ed the intricacies of the waltz and
deux temps as the brilliantly uniform
ed American army and naval officers
and beautifuTly-d women danced
to the delightful music of the Hawai-
ian singing boys. None of the Japa-
nese officers or cadets essayed to dance,
for, as one Of the latter remarked, he
was wallflower when there was dane
ing
The reception was given mainly for
official and service society. only few
of the civilian folk of Honolulu being
extended invitations. The handsome

the gGld-lace trimmings of the navy,

g, WINS of the ladies. For the first time
the full dress uniform of the cavalry
arm was displayed at a formal recep-
tion, and il Indicated that Honolulu
is now real garrison town.
There was large contingent of Jap
anese ladies and gentlemen present, the
f,1mer appearing IN their picturesque
and handsome silk kimonos. The Jap

expressed their pleasure at seeing so
many branches Of the American army

flagship band played the national air

showed keen interest in the social
diversions of the white guests in the
ballroom. Late in the evening the
Consul General s party, accompanied
by Governor and Mrs. Frear, returned
to the lounging room, where an elab-
crate buffet luncheon was served.
Some very beautiful gowns were dis
played, principally by army and navy
ladies. A large number of ladies came
from Leilehua with their cavalry hus-

women upon the ballroom floor. Among
