Doubt About Bill Appropriating
100000 for Asylum.

Columbia, Feb. 22.-Doubt as to
the legality of the item in the ap-
preparation bill of 100000 for re-
pairs at the State Hospital for the
Insane caused Comptroller General
Sawyer to refer the matter to Attor-
ney General Peoples for an opinion.
The attorney general says that he
does not think that the appropriation
of 100000 for repairs at the Asy-
lum is appropriated because the Ian
guage of the bill is doubtful. On
this account the attorney general ad-
vises that he cannot say that this ap-
preparation is legal.
Because of this fact the Comp
troller general will not pay out this
100000 except on orders from the
court, and it, therefore, seems that
somebody is to blame for another big
error, all probably due to the rush of
ramming through matters in an all
night session. It was intended that
the appropriation bill should carry
100000 for repairs at the Asylum
and authority for the governor to
borrow an additional $4,000 if
necessary. However, the courts will
have to pass on this matter before
the comptroller general will pay any
of it out.
Just what the effect of holding up
all improvements at the Asylum will
be remains to be seen.

Sinking Fund Commission Gives Con-
tract for Refunding Debt.

Columbia, Feb. 16.-The sinking
fund commission late tonight an
nounced that it had awarded the con-
tract for refunding the Brown consol
debt of the State to syndicate COM
posed of Townsend, Scott & Son, OF
Baltimore; Stacy & Draugn, of New
York, and the Palmetto National
Bank, of Columbia. This bid was for
the entire outstanding issue of Brown
consol bonds amounting to $4,800,-
600, at par, with accrued interest to
date, and a premium of S20,O16.
There were about fifteen bids, but
this was the most favorable one and
it secured the issue.
The sinking fund commission open
ed bids at noon today and was in ses-
sion all the afternoon and until late
tonight, going carefully over each
bid. The successful bid is considered
most advantageous one in every re-
spect.
Big Interest Saving.
The bonds are refunded under an
act passed by the legislature in 1912.
The new bonds will bear interest at
the rate of 4 per cent. annually in
stead of 4 1-2 per cent, which rate
the Brown consols carried. This will
mean a saving of $4,000 year in
interest alone and under the terms of
the bid, which secured the bonds, in
terest will be paid from 1912.
The sinking fund commission is
composed of Governor Manning, At
torney General Peoples, State Treas
urer Carter, Comptroller General
Sawyer. Chairman Lilies, of the house
ways and means committee, and
Chairman Christensen, of the senate
finance committee. All six of the
members voted to accept the bid OF
the syndicate named above.

One Twin roo Many.

With the coming Of the twins the en-
tire household arrangements were sad
ly disorganized. Master Bobby and
Miss Dorothy were relegated to the
background. where they moped and
sulked.
Bobby, more brilliant than his sister,
was scouting through the upper halls
one morning when he discovered the
twins being prepared for their bath.
Having in mind the fate Of several lit

he rushed to the head Of the stairs,

ODE TO A SKELETON.

Behold this ruin. 'Tis a skull,
Once of ethereal spirit full;
This narrow cell was life's retreat,
This space was thought S mysterious
seat,
What beauteous visions filled this spot,
What dreams of pleasure long forgot,
Nor Joy, nor grief, nor hope, nor fear,
Has left one trace on record here.
Beneath this moIdering canopy
Once shone the bright and busy eye;
Yet start not at the dismal void,
If hoy love that eye employed,
IF with no lawless fire it CLEANED,
But through the dews Of kindness
beamed,
That eye shall be forever bright
When stars and sun are sunk in night.
Within this hollow cavern hung
The ready, swift and tuneful tongue;
If foisehood s honey is disdained
And when it could not praise, was
chained:
Ii hold in virtue s cause it spoke,
Yet gentle concord never Dr0ke,
That silent tongue may plead for thee,
When Tue ulveils Eternity.
Say, did these fingers delYe the mine
Or with its envied rubies shine?
To hew the rock or wear the gem
Can little now avail to them;
But if the page of truth it sought,
Or comfort to the mourner brought
These hands a richer need shall claim
Than all that waits on wealth or fame.
Avails it whether bare or shod
These feet the paths of duty trod9
If from the bowers of ease they fled
To seek affections humble shed2
If grandeur's builty bribe they spurned
And home to virtues cot returned,
These feet with angels wings shall vie
And tread the palace Of the sky.
Selected.
