Fraser Lyon Defends Rhame.

Beaufort, March 28.-Before board
ing the afternoon train for Columbia,
Attorney General Lyon was asked by
the News and Courier correspondent
for a statement in regard to the Lex
ington bank affair.
He said the apparent attempt to
make it appear that Mr.. Rhame, as
bank examiner, has been derelict in
his duty is without reason or justidca-
ton.
"Both Mr.. Wilson and Mr.. Rhame
consulted with me as to the condition
Of the Lexington Savings bank, and |
know from these consultations that
both of them were diligent and careful
in discharging their full duty in their
ofic; s" said Mr.. Lyon.
The herald and news. [volume] (Newberry S.C.) 1903-1937, 1912-04-02
Lyon VIII Reply Later.

Columbia March 29.-Asked if he
was ready to make any statement fur
ther as to the affairs connected with
the Lexington Savings bank, or to
make reply to the letter recently ad-
dressed to him by Governor BIease,
Attorney General Lyon this afternoon
replied that he had been engrossed in
other official business and had not had
time to prepare statement; that the
affairs of the Lexington bank were
progressing regularly in the federal
courts, and there is no special need
for haste, but that as soon as he has
the time he will prepare a letter touch
ing on the matters mentioned by the
governor in his recent letters. This
will be made public.
Attorney General Lyon today pro-
duced a copy of a letter which he
wrote Governor Ansel in May, 1910,
in re the Lexington Savings bank mat
ter, and at the bottom Of the letter is
this sentence: Enclosed find returned
herewith the papers in this matter.

ures on the bank examiners reports
are just as published by the News and
Courier. There may have been a mis-
take in the bank examiners reports,
but there is most assuredly no mistake
in the report Of the figures as publish
ed by the News and Courier. Possibly
the correspondent Of the News and
Courier, in copying the records, might
have placed some items different from
what the bank examiner intended them,
but he most assuredly has got them
where the bank examiner put them in
his original reports"

STATEMENT FROM GOVERNOR.
Governor BIeaSe Talks Further of the
Lexington Sa9ingS Bank Sit
uatiOn.

Columbia, Harch 2S.-When asked
today if there were any new develop
ments in the Lexington Savings bank
situation Governor Blease made the
following statement:
81 have received no message from
Mr.. Rhame, and no report from the
attorney general. 1 understand Mr..
Lyon is out of the city.
'sYou remember, I advocated the
abolition of the Office of State bank
examiner at the last session Of the
legislature, and the placing of the en-
tire matter in the hands of the comp
troller general. l think this LeXing-
ton case clearly demonstrates to the
people that 1 was right, for had this
matter been under the direct control
of Gen. Jones he, being a State official,
answerable directly to the people,
would have made this thing public
when Wilson made his report in 1910,
and all the individual depositors over
there would not have suffered as they
have-certainly those who put their
money in that bank since that report
which was two years ago-would have
been put On notice and could have
saved themselves.
"tNot only this, but the State could
have made money and had a better
service by placing this matter as
advised.
s'No, I do not know exactly what
amount was on deposit over there for
the State and county. In fact, I am
not sure that the State had any money
there, for I think the official who was
doing business with that bank had his
own private deposits there. can hard
ly think that he would have gone out
of his way to have gone to Lexington
;and deposited Ine oldle HIoHey ~ q
private bank, wher county and State
ldepositories were right here in the city
where he lives and I am satisfied that
the board of directors, who have SUI
perusory control of such matters
would have not allowed it to have beer
done; they are so very careful anc
guarded in the handling of affairs o
the penitentiary, and such faithful
guardians of the hosiery mill, that
am sure they would not have been 81
careless of the States money,

Governor Blease, in his letter to At
torney Lyon on Tuesday, stated that he
could not find the report which Giles
L. Wilson made on the Lexington Saw
ings bank in 1910, and which was re-
ferred by Governor Ansel to Attorney
General Lyon, in his Office and ask
ing the attorney general to return the
Wilson report to him. The copy Of
the letter the attorney general wrote
to Governor Ansel stating that the
papers in the case were enclosed
Herewith follows:
"May 4, 1910. Governor NJ. F. Ansel
Columbia, S. C.-Dear Sir: 1t is my
opinion that the Lexington Savings
bank, which is owned by private in
dividual, and not incorporated, IS sub
ject to the provision of an act entitled
An act to provide for the appointment
Of a bank examiner, and to define the
duties of his Office approved the 23rd
day. of February, A D. 1906 Section
1 of the act above referred to describes
the banking institutions which shall
be subject to the authority of the bank
examine, and defines such institutions
as all banks and banking institutions
conducted by corporations or persons
in this State The language, taken
together with the references in the
sections which follow, leaves no doubt
in my mind that all banking institu-
tions, whether conducted by corpora
tions or natural persons, are within
the terms of the act.
Yours very truly,
81. Fraser Lyon,
Attorney General.
Enclosed find returned herewith
the papers in this matter"
From this letter it will be seen that
the papers in the case in 1910 were
returned by the attorney general to
the governors Office, and Governor
Blease stated in his letter to the at
torney general that he could not find
them. Mr.. Ansel was governor in 1910
at the time this correspondence took
place
