Senator Tillman said the demand
Of women for suffrage was growing

Columbia, Aug. 1S.-The State
treasury IS depleted. There is no
money to pay the running expenses
of the government. Claims against
the State. amounting to several thous-
and dollars, have been held up be-
use Of lack of funds The Palmetto
6ank declared today that they had
called off the offer to loan the State
of SOut. Carolina 100000 at 5 per
cent, because they could not lend it
in installments of $4,000 each as the
State needed the money. Meanwhile
Comptroller General Jones is inform
ing persons holding warrants against
the State Of South Carolina that there
is no money in the treasury and every
thing is being held up. For the first
time in years South Carolina is not
meeting her claims. Salaries of all
state officials, and county officials
getting their money from the State,
will have to go wanting until taxes
come in unless arrangements are
made for borrowing some money i'm
mediately.
Because the income of the State
from year to year will not pay the
expenses it is necessary to borrow
some money each year during The
summer months to meet the expenses
until the tax money comes in during
the fall. In accordance with this
custom, the Legislature authorized the
governor, the Comptroller General
and the State Treasurer to have
charge of borrowing whatever money
. was necessary. Treasurer Carter esti-
mated that it would take from $780,
600 to $4,000 to meet the ordinary
expenses until tax money came in.
The governor made arrangements
with the. Palmetto National Bank, OF
this city, for a loan of $500, 900 to the
state at per cent interest, and six
notes of $4,000 each were signed By
Governor Blease and turned over to
the state Treasurer through the sink
ing fund commission. Treasurer Car
ter and Comptroller General Jones
signed one note for $4,000 and sent
it to the bank, which refused to ad-
vance the money in installments,
claiming their offer had been for the
entire loan of 100000 at one time.
and stated that unless all six notes
were at the bank by noon today ne
gotiations would be off and their of
fer Withdrawn.
The matter of the need for this
money was brought up before the
sinking fund commission last week.
and on motion it was left with the
Governor, Comptroller General and
State Treasurer to make the loan. the
resolution calling for money to be
borrowed in installments. The bank
refused to lend in installments and
called off the offer of the loan.
Unless other arrangements for get
ting money are made there will be no
money to pay any claims against the
state until taxes are collected this fall.
No salaries to State officials and no
claims of any kind against the State
will be paid unless some money is
borrowed

Sumter county will have prohibition
for the next four years. IL the official
count does not change the result
from the unofficial count as received
by the Item Tuesday evening. The
total vote cast was 95S, majority of
twelve being for prohibition.
The vote was 473 for and 4S5
against the dispensary and was a con-
siderable surprise to the prohibition
forces. who had expected n much
greater majority. There were a
great many other joits in the election
for both sides. the results from a
number OF precincts being decidedly
different from what they were four
years ego and what they were expect
ed To be I'm the election.
The result of the election was in
doubt until the final returns were re-
ceived from shiloh and Concord,
both OF which went strong for the
dispensary. although they did not cast
as many votes as was expected and
the majority for the dispensary was
not sufficient to overcome the ma
tority which had been received i'm
other precincts in favor OF prohibition.
The crowd gathered on the street
and although IL was very orderly and
quiet. IL could be seen that everybody
In II was intensely interested i'm the
result. There were no demonstra-
tions when the final precincts were
heard from, but the pr ohi5itionists
were then willing TO go home satis-
hsd. while the dispensary advocates
remained on the streets talking of a
possible change OF the results by the
Official count of the vote.
Up To the time that Shiloh and
Concord were heard from there was
n majority Of fifty one for prohibition,
and as reports coming from those
places we;e that they were going
heavily for the dispensary. 1t looked
extremely dubious 20 the prohibition
lists and the dlspensary advocates
claimed the election. The results
from shiloh were received first and
brought the prohibition majority down
to thirty-two. s.lll leaving the resul,
OF the election an doubt, as the Con-
cord vote was still uncertain. All this
while the crowd waited and discussed
the election pro and con. Finally the
result from Concord was received and
the unofficial returns showed the ma
jority OF twelve against the dispen-
rary. Ina
There was some talk of protest
on the strets today. but there seems
to be little TO this. There Is also talk
OF there being a change i'm the results.
when the official count is made next
Tuesday. There are about twenty
challenged votes i'm town, which are
supposed To be divided about equal
~ between the two sides while the
number from the county is un-
known. IL is also rumored
that n number of votes were
marked by the voters and these will
be thrown out I'm the Official count. as
they are not legal. and there may bc
sufficient OF these to change the re-
suits OF the election.
However IL is. the leaders on
neither side feel absolutely secure un-
til the official count is made. the re-
suit at present being decidedly too
close to be comfortable or decisive.
