PEOPLE PAYS THE BILL.
Quarrel of Blease and Supreme Court
Costs Money.

A special dispatch to the Columbia
Record under date of last Monday
says the court at Conway met on that
day and adjourned temporarily to
the next day because there was no
Judge on hand to preside, caused by
the squabble between Gov. Blease
and Chief Justice Jones.
The dispatch said the bar of Con-
way wired both the governor and
the chief justice of the situation, and
hopes for relief either by the gov
ernor commissioning Col. Quattle-
of the local bar or else hopes the su-
preme court will designate either
Judge Memminger or Judge Copes.
All jurors and witnesses are on
hand. The court has heavy docket
with 90 prisoners in jail, some of
whom are held for murder. The sit
ua.ion, without relief, will work a
hardship and inconvenience to all
concerned as we'll as unnecessary
cost to the county.

BLAME GOV. N,EASE
HoRRY PEOPLE ARE MAD ABOUT
NO COURT BEING HELD.
The County Put to Great Expense
Because No Judge Was Assigned
to Hold Court.
to Hold Court.

A special dispatch to The News
and Courier from Horny says court
was called there Monday and Tues
day mornings, and it being ascer-
tanned that no judge had yet arrived,
was adjourned sine die. All jurors,
witnesses and the solicitor and
stenographer were on hand Monday
but consented to remain over Till
Tuesday il. the hope that presiding
Judge might reach here during the
night.
1t was large crowd Of indignant
citizens that met Monday, many of
them leaving work of importance at
home, when it was learned that NO
court would be held and that they
would probably be called back at a
time when they could Ill afford to
leave their farm work.
Governor Blease came in Tor a
great share of censure and Tuesday
afternoon there was talk of an in
dignation meeting being held. This,
however, was quieted down.
1t is estima ated that the failure to
hold court at this time has cost the
county $500, to say nothing CT the
expense incurred by number of CT
izens, who appeared as prosecutors
and as defendants witnesses. Clerk
of Court W. L. Bryan Tuesday is
sued pay warrants to jurors and bail
ifs aggregating $325.30. The many
States witnesses present were not
paid.
The jail is crowded and has been
for several months, bond Gaving
been refused a number Of parties
held in two murder cases. Twenty
principals and witnesses are in jail
and rumber out on bond. The ur-
gent necessity of court here is ap-
parent to every one.
Solicitor Wells Monday, before
reaching Conway, wired the clerk TO
hold the jury, but to no avail. The
local Bar Association, though ex-
tremely desirous Of having court, is
with the Chief Justice in his stand
taken, fully appreciating his legal
right to take the position that he
does.

BANDIT LEADER OLD TIMER.
The Captain of White Sulphur Rob-
hers identified.

George Anderson, who according
to his companions, was the leader OF
the gang which held up and robbed
the Southern railway fast mail train
on February IS, near White Sui
phur springsa Ga, has been identi-
fed by detectives Of the Pinkerton
agency as 4. E. Miner, a notorious
stage coach train robber of the
Northwest. Miner is said to have
escaped from prison at Westminster,
British Columbia, month after he
had been given a life sentence for
robbing a Canadian Pacific train on
June s, 1906. Miner also was sus-
pected of being the leader in the
hold-up of a Canadian Pacific train,
near Mission Junction, Canada, Sep

W. Minister, a detective working on

DOING ITS SHARE
TO HELP THE FARMERS TO NEW
AND BETTER METHODS.
Southern Railway to Run Special
Trains in the Interest of Agricul-
tural Education.

Gural EUuCAClOu.
During the week ending Monday,
March 6, the Southern railway COM
pany, in line with its policy Of doing
everything possible for the better
ment of agricultural conditions in
the territory traversed by its lines,
will run two special agricultural ed
ucational trains.
One of these trains will be op-
Grated in cooperation with the Vir-
ginia department of agriculture and
immigration and will spend the en-
tire week on the Richmond division.
embracing the lines between Rich
mond and Danville and Richmond
and West Point. Meetings have been
arranged at twelve points.
The other train will be run over
the lines of the Southern railway and
the Queen and Crescent route in Ken
lucky in cooperation with the de-
partment Of agriculture and the col
lege of agriculture of that state.
Twenty-four stops will be made by
this train.
Each Of these trains will be in
charge OF parties made up of men
of scientific knowledge and practica!
experience who will be able to give
information OF the greatest value.
Subjects will be arranged to meet
the most pressing needs of the differ
ent sections visited. Bad wealth er
will not be allowed to interfere with
the meetings as all will be held in
passenger coaches.
The Southern Railway in connec-
ton with other lines is furnishing
absolutely free of charge train with
which the State College Of Agricul-
ture of Georgia is making a forty
seven day tour OF that state. South
Carolina will be treated in the same
way, if the authorities will show the
need Of the train.
The great expense entailed by the
running of these trains is borne by
the Southern in the belief that its III
terests are identified with those Of
the farmers OF the south and that it
will eventually be repaid by the i'm
:provement in conditions that will re-
suit from an increasing adoption of
better methods Of agriculture.

CHANGE OF MIND
BLEAsE SIGNS SOME BILLS HE
SAID HE'D VETO.
Six Specific Instances in rs Many
Weeks When the Governor Has
Changed His Mind.

The Columbia Record says Coy
ernor Blsase is beginning to make c
record for changing his mind. Re-
Gently he has taken positive posi-
tions upon number Of things, only
to recede from these shortly after
ward; and now persons interested do
not know what weight to attach to
deliverances by the executive, In
cases where the way is open to him
to reverse himself.
Particularly is this uncertainty felt
in regard to legislative acts which as
yet remain unsigned. An announce
ment by the governor that he will
veto a given act may or may not be
final; in several instances he has re-
considered such decisions and signed
the acts involved.
Governor Blease sent to the leg
islature a message vetoing the Os-
borne child labor act, but in a later
message receded from this position,
admitted he was in error and asked
that reference to the matter be i'm
plunged from the record, which was
done.
Governor Blease said he would
veto the act incorporating the Pied
mont and Northern railway company
the Duke interurban project; but
he changed his mind and signed the
without explanation.
Governor Blease said he would
veto the act authorizing the employ
ment of rural police in Charleston
county; but next day he approved
the act-without explanation. He
said he would sign no rural police
acts vesting the appointive power in
any person other than himself; but
he has since signed a number of such
measures.
Governor Blease vetoed the item
in the appropriation bill authorizing
the State treasurer to spend $500
for extra clerical assistance; but
he has since authorized the treasurer
to make this expenditure, though his
veto was sustained by the senate.
Governor Blease vetoed the item
in the appropriation bill authorizing
the comptroller general to expend
$4,000 in examining county offices,
but he has since told the comptroller
general to go ahead and spend this
amount, if so much should be nec-
essary. Comptroller General Jones
has, however, declined emphatically
to follow this course, since the legis-
lature sustained the governors veto.
Governor Blease vetoed the item In
the appropriation bill providing sal
aries and expenses for two factory
inspectors, saying the inspectors
were useless, but he has since said
that this veto did not mean that the
inspection act would go unenforced,
for he would himself employ il
spectors, paying them out of his
$4,000 law-enfcrcement fund.
