Cashier Mathews Says All Notes Must
Draw Interest From Time Placed
In Bank.

Columbia, Aug. 2O.-State Treasurer
S. T Carter in letter today to Cash
ier ]. P. Matthews of the Palmetto
National bank asks a question which
involves the crux Of the whole con-
troversy over the State loan: "1f the
six notes aggregating 100000 should
be delivered to you at one time (say
on August 81 or 22) would you ac-
cept them and place the amount to
the credit of the State upon the eX-
pressed understanding that not No.
1 for $4,000 would commence to draw
interest from that time, and when the
proceeds of that note (S50,00O) shall
be exhausted note No. 2 to commence
to draw interest, and when this S5O,-
600 shall be exhausted note No. to
commence to draw interest, and so
on until the tntire six notes Cf so
much be necessary are used?'
Proposition Rejected.
This proposition, which Governor
Blease stated in an interview yester-
day was the only sensible interpreta-
ton of the banks proposition to lend
the State money, which view, he said,
had been Mr.. Matthew'S offer FROM
the beginning, was rejected by Mr.
Matthews in the following words:
eve could not undertake to handle
the matter in such a manner that the
State would only pay interest on the
notes in denominations of $4,000
each. The six notes as whole will
draw interest from date of delivery.

days ago and officials refused to ac-
cept it, saying that the six notes each
for $4,000 must be placed in tneir
hands at the same time.
Governor Blease in an interview
yesterday. stated that the purpose of
the bank in asking that all Of the
notes be delivered to it at the same
time was solely to allow its authori-
ties to use thees notes in securing the
money and that they would not draw
interest when presented but when the
money, $4,000 at a time, was placed
to the credit of the State at the treas
urer's request. Mr.. Matthews in his
letter to Treasurer Carter refuses to
accept the proposition which the gov
ernor stated was the one which he
rad advanced.

The State meanwhile is sadly in

ance with his position. 1 wish to re-
peat that my hands are tied by the

nandeo to the chairman of the sinking
fund commission six signed notes,
which were turned over to the State
treasurer. Governor Blease handed a
copy of the agreement between Mr..
Matthews and himself, to the State
treasurer and comptroller general.
The State treasurer Immediately call
ed attention to the fact that the writ
ten agreement and the statement of
Governor Blease we're not in accord.
After the meeting adjourned, I met
Dr. Dick and requested him to state
what he understood Governor Blease
to say was the agreement about the
notes. He replied the notes were TO
be placed in the State treasury, and
as the State needed money they were
to be used. so that the State would
only pay interest on the notes as the
money was used To be doubly sure
Tat I had understood correctly the
governors statement of his agree
ment with Mr. Matthews, I asked Mr.
McLaurin, the field agent of the sink
ing fund commission, what his under
standing was as to the statement
made by Governor Blease, as to how
the six notes were to be used He said
my understanding was that the six
notes the governor had signed for
$4,000 eacn were to be deposited IN
the State treasury to be discounted as
the State needed the money so that
the State would only pay interest on
the rotes as the money was used.
"The above interviews were shortly
after the adjournment of the sinking
fund commission on Augrst Is. Ex-
pecting to be absent the ext day, the
18th, and as the State needed $4,000
at once, signed one of the notes.

agreement made by the governor. l
have been ready at all times to meet
the governor on official business when
called upon. I do not allow any per-
sonal feelings which may exist to-
ward me on the part of the governor
to interfere with the performance of
my duty to the State. The duty l owe
the State is paramount.
'The State treasurer informs me
Mr.. Matthews refused to advance $780,
900 upon presentation of the note for
that amount, stating that he mad not
agreed to advance the State install
ments.
81 regret very much that there
should have been this misunderstand-
ing be Jween the governor and Mr..
Matthews. Ths State is out of money
and her obligations are becoming due
and should be promptly met. have
no concern as to the cause Of the diff
ference between tn understanding of
the agreement by the governor and
Mr.. Matthews. 1 am standing by the
governors statement of what the ver-
bal agreement was, he having signed
the notes under that agreement
81 am sorry that this misunder-
standing should have arisen between
Mr.. Matthews and the governor, and
hope that ARRANGEMENTS will soon be
made to borrow this money.
81 am concerned about maintaining
the high credit the State has estab-
lished heretofore by promptly meet
ing her obligations.

shall be needed, or he would not nave
had six notes for $4,000 each drawn,
when one for the entire amount would
have been sufficient if it had been his
purpose to have the whole amount

Since the bank declines to comply
with its contract, made with Mr..
Blease, I have referred the matter to
him for enforcement.
'Tne State needed $4,000, and, ac-
cording to the instructions I received
with the notes, l presented one note

Comptroller Generals Statement.
Comptroller General Jones, VINO is
a member Of the borrowing commit
tee, today made the following state
ment relative to the failure of the
State to get the loan necessary to
pay the running expenses Of the State
government:
"On August l received from S. T.
Carter, State treasurer, copy of a
letter to Governor Blease relative to
the necessity of borrowing funds to
meet the current expenses Of the
State. I have waited patiently for the
governor to call the financial board
together; this he has never done. On
August Is, about II a. M, DR.. Bah
cock, superintendent of the asylum
for the insane, presented requisi-
ton and voucher for S28,48477. l re-
uuested DR.. Babcock to call back al
u o'clock. The available funds in
the State treasury applicable to cur
rent expenses at that time were So

sued for $S,027.76 IN part payment OF
voucher, and the following explana,
tory letter directed to DR.. Babcock:

Sir: | have voucher for S2S,4S4.7 or
account of support and maintenance

BILE to the payment of those expenses

ceived by the State treasurer this
morning. l enclose warrant payable
to J. w. Bunch for this amount.
regret tnat you will have to wait for
the balance of the money due on this
voucher and necessary for the mair
tenance of the State Hospital for the
Insane until the treasury ST in funds.
The attention of the governor, eX-
officio chairman of the borrowing
committee, was called by the State
treasurer to this condition of the
treasury on August l, and l am sat
isfied that the money will be borrow
ed by the proper officer to pay these
expenses and other obligations nee
essary to the carrying on Of the State
government. I will be pleased to do
whatever is in my power to relieve
the situation.

"Comptroller General"
"a meeting of the sinking fund
commission was scheduled to meet at
12 o'clock to decide whether or not
they should make a loan to the asy-
lum commission. When this business
had been transacted, Governor Blease
called the attention of the sinking
fund commission to the necessity OF
the State borrowing 100000 to pay
it's running expenses, and after eX-
planning a verbal agreement between
himself and Col Willie Jones and Mr..
J. P. Matthews, he said he had effect
ed the loan of 100000, and had sign
ed as governor six notes of $4,000
each, to be placed in the State treas
ury, to be used when the State need
ed the money That, heretofore, the
State had been paying interest on
borrowed money when a large part OF
the money was left in bank without
interest; that under his agreement
with Mr.. Matthews, the State would
only pay interest upon the money as
it was used. Thereupon DR.. Dick Of
fered a resolution referring it to the
financial board, consisting Of the gov

nothing to do with the borrowing OF
this money I requested that my vote

GROWING POPULARITY OF
CHIENsE CHOP sUFY

Chinese cooking has become very
popular Of recent years in America.
The restaurants are no longer merely
the resort of curious idlers intent upon
studying types peculiar to Chinatown,
for the Chinese restaurants have
pushed their way out Of Chinatown,
and are now found in all parts of the
large cities of America. Their pat
renage today is of the very best, and
many of their dishes are justly ia
nous.
One of the most popular of the New
York restaurants recently engaged a
Chinese chef with the announced in
~tention of serving Chinese dishes.
There is no reason why these same
dishes should not be cooked and serv-
ed in any American home. 1t is true
that the average Chinese eook becomes
as inscrutable as the Sphinx when
asked by a "foreign devil' for a
recipe; and even when, under excep-
tional circumstances, he is induced to
part with one, he generally leaves out
a vital ingredient, 50 that the Ameri-
can seldom really obtains the true
Chinese dish. That is why many who
have experimental with Chinese cook
ing at nome complain III uoes hot
taste the same as the dishes served in
the Chinese restaurants.
The ingredients which go to make
up the various Chinese dishes. when
not obtainable in the regular Ameri-
can stores, ear all be bought in the
Chinese stores of the larger cities of
America, particularly New York, Chi
cago, Boston, San Francisco and Mon
treal. They can be ordered by mail,
packed carefully and expressed by
these Chinese stores to any part of
the country.-Harper's Bazaar.
