CLAIM OF CORLEY REFUSED
Expense Account of the Chief Con.

Columbia.-T regret that I do not
see my way clear to issue a warrant
on the state treasurer for the pay
ment of your claim" This statement
is contained in a letter given out up
on request by A. W. Jones, comptrol-
Ter general of South Carolina, who
has refused to pay a claim Of $1S0.25,
submitted by P. H. Corley, who was
appointed chief constable of South
Carolina by the governor during the
campaign. The comptroller general
takes the position that to issue the
warrant would not be according to
law. He informed the chief consta-
BILE that the case should be decided
by the courts and that the warrant
will not be honored until the dec1-
sion is given. The expense account
Of Mr.. Corley was approved by the
governor.
P. H. Corley, is former sheriff OF
Lexington county and was named by
the governor during the campaign as
chief constable. He followed the cam
paign party for several days.

s%pondence given out by the comp
troller general upon request:

81 regret that I do not see my way
clear to issue a warrant on the state

rant is because Of section 43 of the

Sheriff F. H. Creech returned from

thing was quiet, the excitement over
the shooting of Hewlett Bates by
Adolphus Jackson, a negro, and the
subsequent killing Of Jackson, having
cooled off. 1t had been. feared that
when the inquest over the negro's
body was held there would be trou-
BILE, but while a large crowd of ne
groes at the inquest the proceedings
passed off quietly. The verdict of the
jury was that Jackson came to his
death from gunshot wounds, the gun
being in the hands Of Hewlett Bates
or Owen Walker, Bates companion,
or both. 1t is hoped that there will
be no further trouble. .

GOVERNOR HAD No
AUTHORITY TO ACT
SUPREME COURT HANDS DOWN
DECISION IN FAMOUS BANK
EXAMINER CASE.
RHAME WOULD NOT GET OUT
Chaos Has Eeisned Since Frazier
Succeeded Rhame-Nine Members of
the Court concurred in the Opinion
While Two Dlssented.

Columbia. - The supreme court
handed down a decision in the now
famous bank examiner case, deciding
that when Governor Blease ousted
Bank Examiner B. j.. Rhame, he act
ed without authority Of law. April
first Governor Blease ousted Rhame
and appointed in his place H. w. Fra
zier and since then chaos has reign
ed. The banks did not know which
officer to recognize and in making
their reports they put it up to the
postmaster, by addressing all COM
m%unications to "state bank exam
iner."
The supreme court handled the
case in an en- banc session with the
chief justice and ten associate JUS
tees. There were two dissenting
opinions, and nine concurring.
When Governor Blease declared
Rhame not entitled to the Office he
refused to vacate and proceedings
were instituted by Attorney General
Lyon in order to get a ruling on the
question. The substance Of the de-
cision is that the law does not pro-
vide for the removal Of the bank ex-
aminer as it does in the case of mag
istrates."
A criticism Of Governor Blease, in
the opinion is in these words, THE
governor as chief executive has no
prerogative control over offices such
as held by the King of Great Britain"
