At Spartanburg Saturday night a
correspondent tried to get Senator Nc
Laurin to say whether he would be a
candidate for governor next year. He
replied: We'll, I'd lots rather talk to
you about the warehouse bill. The gov
ernor's race isn't worrying me half as
much as II is some others. Let 'em
sweat. What Is the use OF having a
campaign in an of year? 1t hurts bus
mess to keep the state eternally In an
uproar over politics. Why not get up
a fuss, IL you are bound to have one,
over something that will do some
good?" G1 EE- .l& 8
"A Columbia dispatch quotes Gov
ernor Blease as having made the fol-
lowing statement last Saturday, with
reference to the Zachry case: ION
yesterday, when / returned to the city,
application was made to me for requi-
sition for Julian Zachry. charged with
violating Section 167, of the Criminal
Code of this state. which, prescribes
punishment not exceeding imprison-
ment for thirty days or fine not ex-
ceeding 500; also with violating Sec
ton 166 of said Code, which prescribes
a punishment of not less than 5000 or
more than $1,000, or Imprisonment not
exceeding two years, or both at the
discretion of the court; also with vio-
lating Section 697 Of said Code, which
prescribes a punishment Of imprison-
ment for a term not exceeding one
year or a fine not exceeding 5000; also
with the crime of kidnapping, under
the common law. for which there Is
provided a very severe punishment.
After investigating the matter 1 be-
came thoroughly convinced that Julian
Zachry was guilty OF each OF the Of
fences charged as sworn to by his
wife, Mary w. Zachry, and am satis-
fed that II he Is brought back to South
Carolina and carried before a fair and
impartial Judge, whose mind mas not
been clouded from whisky drinking,
and an impartial jury Of this state,
that he will spend many of his days to
come where he ought to be-in the
South Carolina state penitentiary.'
Gaffney, August /: a peculiar
condition exists in Cherokee county
Just at this time from the fact that
the county Is literally "broke," there
being no money on hand to meet the
running expenses Of the county. There
is no money with which to pay the
salaries of the county officials, to
keep up the chaingang or to pay for
the ordinary county expenditures.
This peculiar condition Of AFFAIRS ex-
lists because of the fact that by a re-
cent act of the general assembly OF
South Carolina, Cherokee county was
authorized to issue bonds to the ex-
tent of s47,500 to meet the indebted
ness and pay the running expenses
of the county. The bonds were issued
and bids asked for and finally they
were purchased by A. B. Leach q
Co, of New York and Chicago. The
county commissioners thought that
their troubles were over, only to re-
ceive information yesterday from at
torneys representing the northern
banking concern, to the effect that
the bill passed by the general assem-
bly, authorizing the bond issue had
failed to contain any provision as to
the final payment Of the bonds and
that, therefore, their clients would not
accept the issue. Considerable specu-
lation Is heard all over the city and
county as to what action will be taken
by the commissioners to secure money
for the county. but II Is presumed
when they meet next Monday, which
is the regular date for the meeting,
that they will make an effort to secure
the sum by giving their personal Sc
curities for the same. A county om-
cial was authority this morning for
this statement. However, as AFFAIRS
now stand, Cherokee has no money.
and IL present conditions exist long
there would be a county without Of
ficers, since none of the officials can
draw salary checks. ''"
