Examiner Evans has been busily en-
gagged for the past several weeks in the
examination of various departments of
the state government. He will be engaged
for another two weeks In examining the
office of Governor o'Neal, after which
he will enter upon the examination of
the books of the officials Of Montgomery

There has not been found by me any
evidence tending the Indicate evil inten-
ton on the part of any official" stated
Mr.. Evans. However there have been
found instances which l considered not
in accord with the intention of the law
technical points which the law requires
to be considered even though it is alb
solutely certain that no evil has been
done or intended.

Scully Not Responsible

1T Is reported In Montgomery" said
he. that there has been some trouble in
reference to the disbursement OF appro-
priations. 1t is known however, and defi-
nitely stated that for whatever trouble
has occurred Adjutant General Joseph u.
Sculy Is not responsible
When asked IL he had made an exami-
nation of that department OF the state
government. Mr. Evans answered in the
negative.
State Senator Hugh Morrow, after a
day spent in Montgomery, admitted when
questioned, that he had heard the report
OF financial trouble in the department of
military. but, like the others, he knew
none of the details.
Ii is understood that II was in connec-
ton with this matter that Governor
o'Neal visited Washington, and that
while there he discussed the situation
with officials of the government. II Is
understood, further. that the governor
will issue statement in regard to these
reports in the near future.

nation, declared that the appropriation
was handled through the office of the
adjutant general, and that for that rea-
son, he was not informed as to de-
tails.

I don't believe that he would con-

Their conduct would be indie

DAWSON said that a law prohibiting

fortunate as the experience of a man
serving on the board of directors of
more than one bank was more valuable
than that of a man serving in a single

for officers of banks to participate in

CAME BACK TO HIS MEMORY
Long Years Of Captivity Had Not ES-
faced Early Teachings From Mind
Of Elephant.

The following Is an instance Of an
elephants good manners and of the
tenacity with which an idea once re-
ceived by him adheres In his mem
ory.
When visiting the London Zoo, an
Englishman who had seen service In
India got permission for his children
to ride on me OF the elephants. After
the ride wished to give the beast
bun and to make him say Please"
using In this connection the phrase
"Salaam kuro" (make a salaam)..
The man animal regarded the man
gravely for some time, eagerly eyeing
the bun In his hand. At last memory
came to tho paohyderm's aid, and up
went his trunk. and he made most
correct salaani.
The beasts keeper was much as
ton.shse.. asking what the performance
meant. The Brittsher explained that
1t was point OF good manners for an
elephant to raise his trunk up to his
forehead Il anyone was going to feed
him, and that frequently elephants
would ask In this polite manner for
something when they encountered
anyone who seemed likely to offer
them food.
The keeper assured the visitor tina,
he had never seen the elephant do this
before. and that he had been IN
charge OF the beast since its arrival
from India long time since. For II
years this animal had never heard
these words. and had always taken
his food without this mark OF good
manners.--The Sunday Magazine.

day wired the president asking him
to grant Carlisle a parole that the

Milton Carlisle was convicted at
Greenville, October &c, 1910, of mis-
application of the funds of the Ma
tion Bank of Newberry, of which he
was president. He is 73 years old
There were 162 counts against him,

Hon. Woodrow Wilson, President of
the United States, Washington, d. G.
What you have done for Milton A.
Carlisle of Newberry is highly appre-
ciated. The remainder is so small that
I request not SO much on his own
account, but for his good Christian
wife, his children and his little grand
children, and to save them from the
stain of the disgrace, that you issue
parole, so that the name may not have
to be entered upon the penitentiary
records. 1 feel that Carlisle has been
punished sufficiently for what he may
have done and an appealing for those
who will suffer more than he.
Action on your part relieving him
of sentence, under parole, will be ap-
preciated by all his friends and / be-
lieve will meet with the approval of
all the people of South Carolina. So
far as Carlisle himself is concerned,
it is believed here that one year will
be as fatal to him as five.
