via Spartanburg.
Local officials did not know that hg

DOES NOT BLAME COLEMAN ?
Express Messenger Accused by Street
MAY BE Innocent.

Charleston, Sept. 13.-There are
some Interesting rumors in connec-
ton with the hold-up Of Express
Messenger Coleman on Southern train
No. IA, somewhere between Charles
ton and Sumemrville. 1t will be re-
membered that Coleman was held by
the Charleston police, and later a
white man by the name Of Street was
arrested in connection with the rob-
berry. He admitted it and said that
Coleman was in on the deal and as
sisted him in the work. Coleman
stoutly denied this, and declared that
the story Is absolutely false in every
particular.
1t is reliably stated that the Sou
thern Express Company did not or
der the arrest Of Coleman, and that
the company later went on his bond
in order that he might be released
from prison. 1t is said that pack
oge was given Coleman the night Of
ne robbery containing $1,000, ard
tnat the money was in the safe to
which he had the combination.
Later it is said that Coleman,
when he reached station on the
line where money is placed in a safe
for through transportation, and the
combination of which is not known
Dy Jne express messenger, he asked
that the $1,000 be transferred from
his safe, and the amount was thus
taken out Of his hands and placed
where he could not have come into
possession Of it again because he
could not open the through safe.
This, it is thought, points to the
innocence Of Coleman and shows
that If a robbery had been planned
he would have left this money where
he could have gotten it easily.

Sullivan was killed by being struck
by New York, New Haven & Hart
ford train on August 31st. His body
! was taken to the morgue at Pelham,
where 1t was identified to-day by his
brother-in-law
Sullivan was killed shortly after
he disappeared from his brothers
home. He was so years old and left
fortune estimated at two million.
His mind was failing and he had es-
capped from his brothers home, where
he was kept practically a prisoner.
he was formerly a powerful East
Side politician.
Big Tins" Fortune Gone &?
New York, Sept. 14.-The body of
Representative Timothy d. Sullivan,
who disappeared recently from his
brothers home at Williamsbridge has
been found. Reports that he was in
a santitarium at Brewster, n. Y, un-
der the care of a New York physi-
clan, were declared by the physician
to be unfounded.
An attorney for the committee
which was put in charge of Mr.. Sui
lVan's estates when he was adjudged
incompetent, certified to-day that the
FORMER political leader was on the
verge or bankruptcy. Claims against
Sullivan, he said. began to accumu-
late soon after 10 was placed in the
custody OF relatives last January. If
these claims are allowed and paid.
the attorney said, the value of big
Tim's' estate would be doubtful"
This statement surprised Mr.. Sulli-
vans friends, most OF whom believed
that he was worth at least 81 ,0OO,-
900.
The declaration regarding Sullj-
vans finances was made when the at
torney for his estate appeared before
a Supreme Court Justice to oppose "a
motion to compel the payment of a
note for $6,500, alleged to have been
executed by Sullivan.

Only few counties in the State -
said superintendent Swearingen, are
compelled to borrow money for edu-
catlonal purposes. 1t is the Dolicv Of
educational authorities not only to
repay this borrowed money, but to
seek to place each county on a cash
basis. This end may be readily ac-
complished if each district board OF
! trustees can be induced to close each
scholastic year with cash balance
OF 20 per cent in the county treasury.
Collections from taxes seldom suffice
to run the schools before December
lst. Repairs during vacation months
must be paid for in July and August.

Der, teachers salaries become due in

! PEELED under these circumstances to
borrow money to meet running eX-
penses. Districts closing the year
in debt are in worse condition, and
must sooner or later either close
their schools or levy additional taxes
1t, therefore, behooves every board
or trustees to consult with the Coun-
ty superintendent Of Education, and
to make careful estimate Of re-
ceipts for the current year. Neither
contracts nor actual expenditures
should be allowed to exceed this es-
innate. The dispensary apportion-
ment at this season is opportune, and
Will help to save many teachers and
school officers from embarrassment.
