United States )istrict A(.torney
Capers returned to the city yester.
day from Washington, whero be
went to urge Presidiot, loosevelt to
appoint Leunias Blalock collector of
internal revenue for South Caro
lina. Capt. Capers had backed Bla
lock from the start and ho hurried
to the Capital when it hocame known
through The News and Courier's dis
patches that his candidate had been
knocked out. Dr. Clayton, )r. En
sor and Capt. Capers had a long con
feronco with the President, but they
have been convinced that Blalock is
no longer a possibility.
Capt. Capers was asked yesterday
if he did not think Blalock was
dead so far as the appointment
went.
"No,'' he answered, "I do not
think so. The patient's extremities
are s:omawhat cold, but his heart is
still beating. Senator M tcLaurin
still earnestly endorses Blalork, but
as it was a Republican appointment
he desired the Republican leaders to
speak out in their own way. This
they did, and no one was mnore etml
phatic than Dr. Clayton in urging a
reconsideration of the matter and
the appointment of Blal:ck. The
President fitally agreed to leave it,
open for a few days, wi h I Ie st,ate
mot th there were persona rea
sons b:- nd po1ilical inflnences
which had guided him in deternin
ing adversely as to our candidate.
These reasons, however, it may be
authoritatively stated, do not effect
Mr. Blalock's business character, but
are rathter in the nat tire of an opin
ion on the President's part that Mr.
Blalock lacks the administrative abil
ity and training for the position, in
volving, as it does, the direction of
many dt- puties and agents."
Capt. Capers said he was deeply
impressed with President Roosevelt.
"His eart wdt, honest manner," lr"
said, "his straightforward state
meuts and comprehensive grasp of
the Southern situation were most
unusual for any Northern President,
especially a new President. Mr.
Roosevelt told us that he proposed to
have the hest available men for the
public service in the South, and that
he would not appoint a man to an
olice in the South whom he would
S not be willing to app)oint to the same
position in the North. Ho said the
best elemerit of the~ negro race was
perfectly wilinig to be0 jndged by
character and merit, arid that lie
regarded Boo,ker Washinigtoni as
highly as any public educator he
Sknew. He said lhe considered him
the greatest arnd wisest l&tador and
adviser his race had produced in
many years."
Clapt. Capers said that none of the
Pr esident's phiotograp)hs correctly
represented him. Th'le hard lines
about the brow in the newspaper
S cuts, lie said, are not on the originia'
a rnd he added that Mr. Roosevelt had
an unusually pleasant face, with a
great deal of what is ternied p)erson
al magnetism in his mariner.
The appointment of a collector of
internial revenue may be mnade this
week, possibly today, and Dr. Clay.
tori seems to b)e the pole horse. Dr.
Clayton left Washington yesterday
for Greenville, where lie will att,end
'edoral Court, arnd in the mean
thie . friends will look after his
time b,.hington. J1nst now lie
affairs in M{ only availatble can
seems to be thi~' at certain that
didate, and it is alm1kV): Instead of
he will get the othce. '" ,. lyo
pushing his own claims Dr. 3 Bla
urged the appoiiinment of Mr.~ d
lock, even after the President hit,
declared that the appointment was
out of the question. Dr. Clayton's
ability is recogdized, and( lie wil
serve the State arid the Government
with ability arid fidelity.
In the event of Dr. Claytoni's leav
ing the marsharl' omee the position
of chief office deputy will donbtless
go to Judge C. P. Townsend. Judge
Townsend is in the ring to accept his
part of the Federal pie and 1 e is
backed by Senator Melanurin, his
fornier law partnor. ''horo are other
eandidates who would like to con
nect with the job, but they are hard
ly worth considering in view of all
the plans which have been carefully
laid.

The Hon. D. A. Tompkins, who is
now member of the United States
Industrial commission, and who ad
dressed the New England Cotton
Spinners Association the other day,
d005 not claim to be a stikingly pro
fossing man. His interest in cotton
spinning is better knows than hia
face, and when about. three years ago
he quietly arrived one day in Provi.
dence, Rhode island, were he was to
attetnd a business man's banquet, he
did not make himself known to the
committee. When the hour for the
banquet arrived one of the most noted
business men of Providence became
much interested in a rural lookingt
personage who sat on his right. As
the speeches progressed, the stranger
made some sotto voco remarks dis
senting from the tonto of the speak
ers. They declared that the cotton
mnanufacturing business had bteen
overdono in Aimorien; that the South
irn mills iad broken the market;
and that t he time was coming when
the fierce competition of Southern
mills would leave the Northorn mills
in ruins. At last. the stranger could
stand it no longer, and blurted out:
"If there is any one here who
wants to sell his factory stock at 20
per cent off, I will take him up."
This direct challenge to the des
pondent, speakers drew attention to
Mr. Tompkins. To thorn he said in
substance:
"As long as a halo of cotton has to
Dross the ocean to find a man to
manufacture it there is no such thing
as the competition of Southern mills
with those of the North. New Eng
land has never done a:ything moro
than play about on the edges of the
possibilities. The seat of manutac
ture is still abroad and what we of
the North and South together have
ilone does not cut a figure. There
is room for every mill that can be
erected in the South. There are
gre ter possibilities than ever before
the mills (if New Englant. If I had
one million dollars I would not hesi
tate to invnst it, right here in P.rovi
dionce, fully convinced that I would
make a good investmnent. I say this
ats a Southern man. I am astonish
ed that~ any New Enhglander should
be despondent undler such circum
stances, it can be manufactured at
a profit here."
.1efore the night wvas over Provi
dence capitalists had pressed upon
Mr. Tompkins offers of money to
build mills North, South, East and
West. Said Senator Aldrich:
"I never appreciated our p)ositionl
more than I do now. We want mor s
of Mr. Tompkins's hopeful tempera
ment in our business dealings."

Albany, N. Y , Oct. l4.--Superin
tondent, Cornelius V. Collins will
send a request to Secretary of State
Hay to designate an official repro
sentativo of the government to be
present at the electrocution of Czol
gosz, the murderer of President Mc
Kinley. 0111) twenty-six witnesses
will be present in the chamber of
death when the sentenco is executed.
Warden Mead, of Auburn prison, has
eit to Superimtendent. Collins the
requests he has recoivc.d for permis
3ion to attend the electrocution, more
than 1,000 in all. The law will
limit the number of witnesses and
the superintendent will decido who
the witnesses will be.
It was stated at the State depart.
ment of prisons today that state
monts to the effect that Czolgosz is
in a continuous state of collapse and
Lhat he breaks down and weeps every
Limo anything is said to hin con
3erning the electrocution are false.
Superit.tendlent Collins had a talk
with thn condnlenod man some das
igo and at that time he said he knew
lie had to die, 1-Ho expressed no foar
as to the electrocution, but said he
6vould not care to go outsido of the
prison, for h behoved that the pee
ple would kill him.
Since his confinoment in Auburn
prison several thtousand letters have
been received for him at the prison,
as well as a large number of express
packages containing flowers and
fruit. The letters, flowers or fruit
Liave never reached the condemned
muan. The flowers and fruit it is
earned have been sent by Christian
ocieties, as have a number of letters
,onsoling him in his last moments.
Jther letters have come from cranks
who have written about the species
>f torture to which they would put
him if they had the execution of
ustice in his case.
It is stated, however, that it would
e a matter of surprise if the names
if senders of fruit and flowers were
iade public.
The State prison department has
pursued a uniform policy in regard
to Czolgosz.
An effort has been made to pre
vent the murderer from gaining any
ao.toriet.y wvhile awaitong death and
to surround him by as perfect an
solation from the world as possit,le.

AHHistant Attorney (eIneral (1nn.

ion of far reaching inportanco. Un.
dor this opinion the law of the State
forbids school distrits to charge
pupilM incidental foos going to make
up1) the tuition foes which they car.not
legally chargo. It. will affect manity
a public school in the State whose
resources have thiu beoi onost mato
rially added to from tiome to Iime.
This opinion has no bearing upon
the decision of the Supre:uo court
rondered som1e timo ago, in the Rock

ing of such feos in schools. In that
case tho chools woro chartered, and
the charter gave the right to charge

Mr. Gunter's opinion reads as fol.
lows:
Do ir S;r:--You request to be ad
viHed uponl tho following <11nestion:
"Can it board of trust t+ of it free
school chargo an incidental foo or
i111poHO any other kind of cost aH i
pro.reqinisite to entrance (of scholars
to the piublie schools 1"'
1 amd of tI he opinion Ihat t Ie boaro
canl imlpoHo no Huch chargeo. 'he
board of trustes being of statutory
construction can have no authority
except, such as granted by statute.
Boards of trusteoei are created under
at general school law. This law pro.
vidos for the completo free school
scheme of the State, and is entitled
"an act to declare the free school
law of the State," approved March
3, 1896. 'rho title as well as the
body of the act denotes the intention
of the general assembly to give the
people a free school. Not only free
in namo but free in fact.
After a careful perusal of every
section of the act I have been unable
to find any authority, either direct
or by implication, to impeon the fen
referred to. I t is true that the board
of trustees are charged with the
management of the free schools of
their respective districts, and ire
given authority to act "so as best to
promote the educational interests of
their district.." But this does not
apply to the financial resources of a
dlistrict. That feature is left to the
tax collecting and1( tax disbu1rsin1g

authority to distribute sand expend
the schlool funds of a district for the

If a board of trustees can impose
