AS TO INTEREST.

Capt. R. H. Jennings, State
Treasurer, Columbia, S. G.
Dear Sir: Replying to yours
of the Sd, in reference to your
general account with this bank.
beg to advise that there was no
agreement made whereby we
were pay you interest on your
general checking account. we
have never paid interest on any
of the States accounts except
those known as interest bearing
accounts.
Replying to your second Ques-
ton, beg to advise that we en-
deavored to secure for the State
the very best rates that could be
had, and it has been our pleas
ure to have received several
awards.
The State has never indicated
what amount of balance would
be kept with us on an average,
nor have we ever bid on a bal
ance basis, as your requests Tor
rates did not take up this mat
ter, aid if such a proposition
had been made by US, we felt
that it would debar US from be-
ing able to secure the business.
The proceeds of the first notes
made each year have been paid
out, as a rule, promptly tor pen
sions. and when the second Sc
ries Of notes was made, as a rule
the money was used to pay the
interest on the State debt.
We have used our very best
efforts every year to serve the
State to the best of our ability.
Tr lsting that this statement
will cover the matter, we are
Yours very truly,

Mr.. J. P. Matthews, Cashier
Palmetto National Bank, Co.
lumbia, S. G.
Dear Sir: The governor in
his annual message to the gen
eral assembly, Jan 9 ultlmo,
under Finances uses the fol-
lowing language in reference to
money borrowed, to wit:
In some instances it has been
necessary to leave 20 per cent.
on deposit, but in this borrow,
such was not the case, and
while the money is on deposit
here, it is drawing interest tor
the State, thus further reducing
the net cost of the loan, which
has not been done heretofore. >
In the same message, under
economy of my administra-
tion," the following language is
used: the low rate OF
interest at which money was
borrowed, the securing of inter
est on this money while on de-
posit .
Since the State has adopted
the policy of borron ing all the
money needed annually from
or through one bank, have you
not handled all such loans, and
has it ever been necessary OF
has anv agreement been made
to leave 20 per cent. on deposit:
Was any agreement made by
which money borrowed would
draw interest on deposit, and if
so, with whom?
I request an immediate reply
to this, as I desire to use it in a
statement which I shall make
to the general assembly.
Yours truly,
R. H. Jennings,
State Treasurer

STANDS on RECORD

Inasmuch as | am the one
who gave out a statement of
the facts in regard to the money
borrowed in 1911, and to which
the language Of the governor
was doubtless directed when he
said that Any report or CORE
spondence to the contrary is a
malicious falsehooG and was an
effort to rob ,ne Of the credit due
me in securing this loan," beg
to state that the foregoing rec
ords and correspondence sustain
the truth of my statements
which We're made not to claim
credit-because at least once be-
fore during my administration
and Gov. Ansels second term,
the same amount was borrowed
at the same rate Of interest and
upon better terms in which cred
it was unthought Of.
Again, the governors state
nent tn 1t the money was on
deposit here drawing interest
for the State is at variance with
the records submitted. l there
fore deny the statements in the
governors message. They are
absolutely without foundation.
Very respectfully,
r. H. Jennings,
State Treas.
