ISSUANCE OF A
$3.50 WARRANT
MRS. FANNIE ARIZONA BRINGS
MANDAMus AeAIsT CLERK OF
THE CIRCUIT COURT.

A mandamus suit was filed in the
circuit court yesterday by Mrs. Fan
ME ARIZONA against James Macgib-
bon, as clerk and auditor of the board
of county commissioners, in which the
court is asked to direct the clerk tc
issue county warrant for the sum
of $1se in payment for alleged dam
ages sustained by Mrs. ARIZONA by
reason of the county Jail and court OF
record building being placed on land
owned by her.
The clerk has refused to, issue the
warrant for the reason that there Ii
no way of telling the status Of tbs
case. For the past three years the
various boards have dealt with this
matter, some of them ordering the
claim paid. others refusing and still
others laying the matter over with
out action.
A few weeks ago the old board mem
bers adopted motion to pay the
claim, but did not specify from which
fund the money should be drawn. The
clerk afterwards drew up a resolution
that would make the expenditure q
legal one and specifying from which
fund the money should be paid and
presented it to the board of adoption In
lieu of the one passed, but this reso-
luton was laid on the table.

BLease Delivers a
FareweH MESSAGE
to LegisIa fure
By AssocIATEp PREss.


Columbia, S. c., Jan. 12.-Governor
Blease delivered his farewell message
to the South Carolina legislature to-
day. He will be succeeded January
10 by Richard I. aiming, when he
will retire to private life.
The governors message urged a re-
ductfon Of taxes and recommended
smaller appropriations for institutions
of higher learning of the state, in
Guiding adjustment of all free scholar
ships.
Urging the legislature to make pro-
vision for immigration, Governor
Blease declared ne did not ''agree with
the policy that men should be highly
educated in order to be immigrants.
We want laboring citizenship"
Commenting upon what he described
as the "encToachment by the federal
government upon states rights" more
of which he asserted, had been
stolen since January 1, 1914, he adj
ded, "can 1t be possible that under
the lead of man sometimes called a
southerner, the democratic party is to
be the party that is stealing the
power from the states and giving it
to the federal government; and that
the republican party. under the lead
of a Hughes or a Whitman, Is to be-
come the states rights party and stop
this stealing OF power?'"
In closing his message he declared:
II have bowed my knee to no man
or set of men; If I create a favorable
impression. all well and good; If I
create an unfavorabIe impression, I
and / alone am responsible MY lifes
work so FAR as my personal interest
Is concerned. has been completed"
