Columbia, Aug, 3O.-A strong and
significant warning to the Peniten-
tiary board not to make any contract
leasing the convicts now employed in
the hosiery mill to any party or cor
poratiOn agreeing to establish a
leather or woodworking plant within
the Penitentiary walls was given to
the members of the board of directors
of the State Penitentiary today in a
letter from Governor Blease. He told
them that he would not stand for con-
victs to be leased to anybody for any
kind Of work, and emphasized the
strength Of his opposition by refer
ring them to that provision of the
State Constitution giving the Governor
the right to remove the board of di-
rectors and superintendent Of the
Penitentiary from office until the
next session Of the General Assembly.
"a word to the wise," the Governor
significantly says. Should be suffi-
cient."
The Penitentiary board decided the
other day to call for bids for leasing
the convicts at their next meeting on
September 10. The hosiery mill con-
tract expires November and some
disposition must be made OF the
200-odd cOnvicts now employed there
in.

ment as to Acceptance.

Columbia, Sept, 1.--Financial
board Of South Carolina yesterday an
nOunced that the bid of the Palmetto
National Bank for loan Of $780,
900 for current expenses Of the govern
ment had been accepted. Five notes,
one for 100000 and four for $780,
600, have been signed ry the COVER
nor, the State treasurer and the comp
troller general, members Of the
financial board, and have been turn
ed over to the bank. The money,
it was said yesterday, will be available
this morning to meet the demands of
the State government.
For the past Is days the State
Treasury has been depleted and all
bills for warrants, presented at the
comptroller generals office, have been
turned down.
Four banks-National Union bank
Of Rock Hill, the Peoples bank Of
Columbia, the Peoples National bank
of Rock Hill and the Palmetto Ma
tiOnal bank of Columbia-submitted
bids for the loan.
1T would appear on the face of
the bids that the Peoples bank Of
Columbia offered the lowest rate,
which was 4.45 per cent, but as a
matter Of fact the Palmetto National
banks bid amounted to $5O3.8S less
interest than the Peoples bank, and
was $225.28 less than the Peoples
National bank rate. The calculations
were made by myself and Comptrol-
Ter General Jones and two disinterest-
ed expert bankers and they found
that the interest charged by the vari-
Gus banks would be as follows: Ma.
tional Union bank Of Rock Hill, be-
tween $500 and $4,000 (the condi..
tion stipulated by this bank was such
that 1t had to be estimatad); Peoples
bank OF Columbia, $4,96s.17; Peoples
National bank Of Rock Hill. $4,69O.57,
and the Palmetto National bank,
$4,465.29." This statement was ade
by s. T. Carter, state r. and
Secretary Of the financial board,
when asked yesterday as to the loan.

WASHINGTON OFFICIALS RE.

Administration Satisfied to Sit
Quiet and Let Mexican Problem
Work Itself Out.

Washington, Aug. 31.-Secretary
Bryan upon his return today from a
short lecture trip announced that
nothing had been received at the state
department from Mexico City to cause
any alarm or to change the diplomatic
situation that exists between this gov
ernment and the provisional govern.
ment in Mexico City. The secretary
remained at his home all day, keeping
in touch with the state department.
by telephone and was glad of the op.
portunity to get a rest. A few mes
sages were received from the en-
bassy at Mexico City relating to rou-
tine developments, such as supplying
Americans with means to leave Mex
leo, and a brief message came from
the special American envoy, John
Lind. at Vera Cruz.
Mr.. Lind, it was reasserted, would
remain in Vera Cruz tomorrow, at
least, SO far az administration officials
here had any knowledga Of his plans
That the administration still is con-
tent to wait for expected hopeful de-
velopments is apparent on every hand,
President Wilson planning to remain
in Cornish, n. H., over Labor Day,
nothing having arisen to demand his
immediate return to Washington.
Reports Of new orders for mobiliza-
ton of troops in Mexico by the pro-
visional authorities caused no excite
ment in official circles here. At the
war and navy departments, officials
were on duty all day, but no reports
from the Mexican border were re-
ceived regarding attempts to smnggle
arms into Mexico in violation Of the
strict neutrality order from President
Wilson.

The suggestion OF Mr.. ID. w. Brown
that the merchants and other bust
ness men club together and raise
sufficient money to employ an expert
to assist and direct the farmers in
the growing OF tobacco, instead of
Offering 80 many cash prizes hits the
nail on the head. A limited number
OF prizes to excite competition i'm the
growing of fine tobacco would be ad-
Visable. but to accomplish practical
results the money would be better
spent I'm the employment OF an expe-
rienced tobacco grower.

If none OF the so-called big" farm
ers, who farm with overseers In
charge. plant tobacco next year how
can they expect the small farmers to
take all the risk of the new crop. An
oVerseer who is competent to man
age big farm is just as capable
or growing tobacco successfully as
the average small farmer who runs
MS own two or three horse crop. The
danger of failure is not in the big
farmer planting tobacco, but in the
planting of a big acreage of tobacco
Every big farmer who has compe-
tent overseer should plant five, ten
or as much as the labor i'm the place
can handle as supplementary crop.

COME TO HUERTA.
War Department Arranging for
Great Show Of Military Strength
September 16.

Mexico City, Aug. 31.-A wave of
patriotism appears to be sweeping
over Mexico, and from many states
and from all classes, it is announced,
service are being received daily by
President Huerta and his minister of
war.
Plans are being made for a large
display Of military strength on Sep
tember 16. 1t is proposed to hold a
big parade in the capital in which 20,-
600 are expected to march.
The war department has been called
upon to furnish military instructors to
dozen cities, where the fear of be-
ing impressed for service against the
revolutionists has given away before
q later patriotic ardor. Thousands
Of all ages are asking to be drilled in
the use Of arms
Nor is the aid afforded the govern
ment confined to offers to serve in
the ranks. A delegation of planters
from the state of Morelos has waited
upon the president and rendered a
subscription of 100000 pesos.
Ministers Gamboa and Urrutia Of
foreign affairs and the interior, res
peCtively, today issued denials of the
declaration from the war department
concerning the shifting of army div
ision headquarters from interior points
to the coasts and frontier. 1t is now
expected that if these shifts are made
it will be solely for the purpose OF
guarding against rebel operations.
In addition to the students of the
preparatory circles, where military in
structions had been enforced for some
weeks, the manual Of arms is being
taught workmen who are attending
night schools and the employees Of the
tax department.
The newspapers continue to devote
themselves editorially to the subject
Of the late diplomatic problems. dwell
ing upon the alleged encouragement
Mexico is receiving from the press OF
France, Germany and Great Britain.
Followers of Gen. Felix Diaz ex-
pect him to return to Mexico City not
later than October 4 to push his cam
! paign for the presidency. Senior Gam
boa said today that no further instruc-
tions regarding the Japanese mission,
to. which Gen. Diaz was appointed,
would be issued by his department
until after November, the month in
which the elections are to be held.
The excitement among American
residents over President Wilson's
warning subsided to a large degree
over Sunday. A limited number of
persons left on trains to Vera Cruz to-
day. Consul General Shanklin spent
most Of the day in his offices, but
received fewer visits than previous
The opinion is growing that the warn
ing so far as regards the large centre,
will not be generally obeyed. unless
further information of q definite char
acter is forthcoming.
