SCHOOLS SUFFER BY ACTION OF
GOVERNOR
(StateSman)

Governor Hawley is held RESPONSE
bic for having deprived the state of
Idaho of about $4,000 interest, not to
speak OF the s265,000 principal, by
his refusal to permit the sale of the
lands wanted by the Potlatch Lumber
company, and as result, there are
scores of school districts in this state
petitioning the land board for loans
to construct schools which are not
able to get them. Had politics not
stepped in and hampered the land
board so that the sale of lands became
impossible, the state would not only
have had the quarter of a million dol
lars, but would likewise be drawing
1925 month interest.
The fund of the state for loaning
purposes has been exhausted. There
is about 100000 in various requests
for loanss in the Office of Register N.
Jennes of the state land board, and
every day there are requests coming
in from school districts.
The land board met the requests
for loans for school construction pur-
poses so far as funds were available,
and in fact gave the school districts
precedence over private individuals.
The requests range generally from
$4,000 to $4,000.
Funds Soon Exhausted
During the spring loans were made
by the land board until the fund was
exhausted. The settlers in the state
asking for small loans were the ones
who were given first consideration,
for it was believed that the fund
would go farther and that more
would be accommodated.
Right now, and for the next three
months of the summer vacation, there
will be an unusual demand from
school districts for funds, and because
of the action of the governor in hold
ing up the sale of the Potlatch lands
until he can make leisurely trip of
inspection over them, whenever his
convenience is suited, these districts
will have to go elsewhere for their
money, or as is more than likely to
be the case, be entirely deprived of
the means to better scholastic condi-
tions i'm Idaho.
The Improvements which have been
contemplated in the various districts
of the state have been extensive, but

MRS. HARTMAN COMING

Mrs. E. H. Hartman, widow of
the great western railroad wizard
will spend the summer months in the
famous Island Park country, in Idaho,
according to a press dispatch from
New York. She expects to leave New
York on June 10, if she can get her
business affairs in shape by that time.
She will spend the summer on what
is known as the Railroad ranch, on
the north fork of the Snake river, not
far from the Yellowstone park line,
owned by Vice-President and General
Manager Bancroft of the Short Line,
Judge R. S. Lovett, head of the Har-
riman lines, and a number of other
railroad officials. An invitation to
make the railroad ranch her summer
home was transmitted to Mrs. Harri-
man by Judge Lovett, when the latter
heard of her desire to spend the sum-
mer in the west The invitation was
promptly accepted, and arrangements
are now being made to put the ranch
in shape for the distinguished guest.

MODERN WOODMEN PICNIC

The Modern Woodmen held BAN
quet last winter to which the children
were not invited, and arrangements
are being made now to give the young
folks picnic on Thursday, the 18th
of June. Committees are busy with
the matter, and it is expected that
it will be held at the Hatmaker farm
about three miles north of town.

the action of the governor in holding
up the sale of the state lands has
caused a halt in the work .ntl such
time as the school fund is replenished.
There have been many new districts
formed in fast settling sections of Ida
no, and they are protesting loudly
against the lethargy of the governor
in tying up this amount of money.

Give Exhibition Of Strength.

Saluda, Jan. 30.-The two negroes
recently placed in Jail here made
their escape yesterday afternoon and
as yet neither of them has been
heard from. Their mode of escape
was unique but yet very simple and
easy. The jailer was allowing them
the privilege of the corridor. The
rear door is of latticed iron or steel,
hung on hinges. This was securely
locked. By main strength they bent
this steel door down from the top
and after folding it Sufficiently to
permit their bodies to pass through
they climbed over and pushing the
wooden shutter open, left. Both
were charged with housebreaking
One of them a few days ago broke
into Powell's store at Ridge Spring
and the other was being held for
breaking into a tenants house On
Matheny's place.

MANY VISITORS FOR BLEASE.
Governor Adapts Ticket Plan fol
Seeing His Host of Callers.

Columbia, Jan. 31.-No Governor
in recent years has had any more
visitors than Gov. Blease is having
these days. From all parts of the
State his friends are coming to the
executive office to pay their respects,
and so many are the callers that
the governor has had numbered tick
cts issued to the visitors-frst come,
first served variety-and the visitors
await their turns.
Mr.. Blease is adhering to his
promise made during the campaign
that he would be at home to the
people of the State, and as a result
he is a very busy man. He sees
them all, rich and poor alike.

YEGGNIAN BLOWS SAFE.
Arrival of Clerk Interrupts Robber
Who was at Work on Safe.


Who was at Work on Safe.
Laurens, Jan. 3O.-The Office safe
of the Charleston & Western Caro-
lima freight depot was dynamited
this morning about 6 o'clock by
supposedly lone yeggman, but no
money was gotten out on account of
an interruption of operations by D.
w. seigler, Jr., billing clerk at the
depot.
Mr.. Seigler went down to the office
to open up this morning and noticed
when he reached the door that it was
already open. Supposing that the
negro man had come in to make a
fire, he thought nothing Of it but
went in. When he got a few feet
within the door and was ready to
turn on the light, the man working
at the safe turned his flash light on
Mr.. Seigler and told him to "git
out" Mr.. Seigler says that he got
out at once. He didn't stop to ar
que but walked quietly off the plat
form and went for help. However,
when he returned the yeggman had
collected all of his tools and left.
The police were at once notified and
search began, but nothing has been
learned as to his whereabouts.
A number of safes have been
cracked in this vicinity recently and
it is thought that this man is the
same one who has done the other
jobs. From the appearances Of the
job, the man could hardly be judged
a professional. He first made an at
tempt to blow a hole in the combina-
ton lock, but finding it too hard he
bored through the casing. By means
of dynamite he blew one side Of
the safe open but this happily had
no money in it. The other side con-
tanned about $40.
Two years ago NJ. H. Stone,
member of the Laurens police force
at that time, was killed by yegg
man about 100 yards from this spot
and the yeggman himself died from
bullet fired by Policeman Walker.
While Mr.. Seigler could not see
the mans face, he judged from his
voice that he was white.
Mr.. Seigler is from the western
| part of this State and at one time
was in the employ of the railroad
at Augusta.

Do the business men of Bamberg
really care anything at all for the
future growth and prosperity of
Bamberg? Some times we are in
clined to think they do not. We al
most lose heart often when we see
so little interest manifested by those
who ought to be most interested. 1t
takes work to build up a town just
as it does a private business, and
Bamberg will never develop as ii
should until this selfish policy is
abandoned. The good of the com.
munity should be paramount.

CARRIED ALOFT BY KITE.
Boy on Trip to the Clouds Saved by
| Tree.

Tree.
A large box kite which he received
for a Christmas gift carried 9-year-
old George Harpwell, of Minerva
street, Roxborough, on an unexpect-
ed trip toward the clouds, end he
might have been flying yet had it not
been for the friendly branches of
tall and spreading chestnut tree,
which the boy embraced as he was
flying skyward.
For several hours the boy clung to
the tree while the kite pulled and
wedged him tightly between the
branches. The Roxborough hills are
said to be on a level with the city
hall tower, and the wind and cold
we're in accord with the elevation.
It was not until the thick rope at
tached to the kite cut his benumbed
hands that he let the little airship
go. Shortly after it was released he
was rescued.
The boy did not have an oppor-
tunity to test the Fite on Sunday, so
Immediately after his breakfast Mon
day morning he went out on the hills
near the poor house and started to
raise it. A stiff wind was blowing and
the kite readily took all the rope
"fed out" In fact, it took the rope
so quickly that before Harpwell
could unwind some of it from his
wrist it took him too.
When his feet left the ground he
was dazed, but when he recovered
himself he was about 20 feet above
the earth. He intended to let go
then, but a quick glance showed him
that he was directly over a stretch
of hard and Jagged ice. He went
fully ten feet higher before he start
ed to struggle, and his jerks brought
the swiftly moving kite over toward
the friendly tree. When he was
within arms length of it Harpwell
grasped wildly at a friendly limb
and held fast. Then he worked his
legs over.
Despite the unexpected rise, the
youngster held on to the tree with
one hand and clutched the rope of
the struggling kite with the other.
The tree was an especially tall
one, higher than the nearby house
tops, in fact, and as the branches
we're not obligingly situated the boy
concluded to wait until he was dis
covered. While he spent the after
noon hours in the cold, all kinds of
rumors were reaching his home. One
was to the effect that George was
seen flying over the Schuylkill in tow
of the kite, while Others were that
he was going in the direction OF
Chestnut Hill.
His relatives and boy companions
secured the hills and woods until
near nightfall and finally James
Brogan, a neighbor who was making
a short cut over the hills, heard his
cry for help and rescued him from
the tree by means of spliced ladders.
The boy was blue from the cold
and his hands and body were cut and
bruised. He was taken home and DIR.

Philadelphia Public Ledger.

DEPOSITS TAKE WING.
Decreased Nearly 5000, 900, 900 With
in Two Months.

WASHINGTON, Jan. 30.-Deposits of
individuals in the 1900 national
banks of the United States decreased
s191,566,488 between November 10
and January 7. a situation probably
unprecedented in the reports made
to the comptroller of the currency.
Banks in the South, however, show
ed increases.
OF that sum more than $158,00O,-
900 was withdrawn from the 80 ma
tional banks of New York city. No
two officials Of the treasury agree as
to where the money went. Some
are of the opinion that part of 1t
might have gone to strengthen the
New York State banks and trust
companies during the furry caused
by the so-called Robin failure early
in the month. All of the treasury
officials, however, expressed great
interest in what explanations the
New York bankers might give.
Drop in New York.
A comparison with the national
banks of Chicago show that the drop
was confined almost entirely to New
York city. The II Chicago banks
reported loss of about $9,000,0OO
on individual deposits. The reserve
banks of the Western and Pacific
States and the New England States
all show losses, but comparatively
small ones.
The unexpected call of January Z
served to show the condition of the
banks in new angle. Not once be-
fore since 1879 have they been call
ed upon so early in the year. There
were no January calls whatever
from 1890 to 1908 and there has
been none since 1907.
Might Get Back.
Some officials think if the call had
been made as usual late in the month
or early in February the money, If
it were withdrawn for dividend pay
ments, would have found it's way in
to the banks again.
One peculiar aspect of the drop
was that the New York banks alone
lost as much as the combined banks
of the country had gained in No.
vember.
Another feature of the situation
which greatly puzzles the treasury
experts is that in spite of the enor-
nous slump in deposits the banks
are still holding a higher percent
age of reserve than they were in
November and the total loss in loans
and discounts of the whole country
has been only s4S,O0O,O0O while
there has been a gain in cash of
more than s20,000,000.
The last call in November showed
a loss in loans and discounts, and
loss in cash of 100000.
South Only Gains.
The banks of the South are about
the only ones showing gains of de-
posits. That is said to be because
they are now being paid for cotton.
Reductions of loans is the rule, how
ever, all over the country, and this
is said necessarily to follow such a
sharp reduction of deposits.
Still with all the reductions the
banks are now holding S67,000,00O
more in their reserves than is re-
quired by law. On the whole the
showing is pronounced good; but the
disappearance of s15s,O00,000 from
the banks of New York is a great
puzzle to the treasury officials. None
of them cared to express an opinion
for publication.
