TREASURER PARK IS SUSTAINED
Georgia Supreme Court Decides
Public Property Fund Case.
OFFICIALS DUMBFOUNDED
Governor Loses Mandamus Suit and
State Is Confronted With Enor
mous Deficit.—Teachers
Must Wait Indefinitely
for Their Pay.
The supreme court of Georgia has
handed down a decision overruling
Judge “Candler and setting aside the
mandamus in the suit brought by the
governor of Georgia against State
Treasurer Park to compel him to pay
out of the public property fund in
the treasury the state school teachers'
warrants amounting to $260,306.18, the
court holding that the constitution
forbids the use of this money for any
purpose except to pay the bonded debt
of the state.
The decision was written by Justice
Cobb and is quite voluminous. The
only dissenting opinion is by Justice
Lewis.
The decision of the court viewed in
one light, means that the teachers
of Georgia must wait until the taxes
are collected the latter part of Novem
vember of the first part of December
before they will receive their pay. It
Is not within the power of the gover
nor to make any provision for paying
them before that time.
The decision means that the gover
nor must borrow $200,000, as he is au
thorized to do, to meet casual deficien
cies in order to get enough money in
the treasury to pay the July interest i
on the bonded debt, and the running I
expenses of the state government.
It means that the state is confront
ed by a deficit of about $550,000,
though it has that amount of cash in
the treasury. The deficit comes about
in this way: Amount due the teachers
which cannot be paid until fall, about
$300,000; amount the governor will
have to borrow to pay part of the July
Interest on the bonded debt and run
ning expenses of the state, about $150,- :
000; amount not heretofore credited to ,
the public property fund that will have (
to go to that fund, $112,000. The in- !
terest also on the public property fund
since it has existed must go to the [
credit of that fund.
Thore is a question as to whether !
the public property fund will have to !
be withdrawn from the state deposito- '
ries. Hon. Dupont Guerry, counsel for
Treasurer Bark, admitted in his argu
ment before the supreme court that
such would be the case. The court did
not pass on the point. When asked
directly what he would do with re
gard to this matter, Treasurer Park
replied:
"That question has before .
not come
me yet, and I cannot say what action
l will take.”
Should the money be withdrawn
from the state depositories, the state
would lose nearly $9,000 a year in
terest.
The decision in addition to the fore
going, means also that the new class
of widows of confederate veterans, for
whom pensions were provided by the
last legislature, will get no money this
year. They must wait until next year,
and in order that they may get it then,
the legislature must make some spe
cific provision for them.
A serious problem confronts Gover
nor Candler. It is “up to him” to de
termine how to make both ends meet,
and the ends are a long way from
each other, too.
The public property fund and sink
ing fund now in tho treasury amounts
to $532,750. Not a cent of this money
ran be touched. i he general fund
now in the treasury, which may ho
used for all purposes now amounts to
about $150,000. The exact figures will
not be available until Treasurer Park
makes his statement to tho governor.
Tills $150,000 is not sufficient to meet
the July interest on the bonded debt,
which amounts to $163,000, and which
must be paid on July 1st. In addition
to that there must be paid out within
the next few weeks for the running ex
penses of tho state in tho neighbor
hood of $125,000. making a total of
nearly $300,000. Therefore after the
governor has borrowed $200,000, which
it appears he must do, ho will have
left only $50,000.
Tile situation Is so serious In fact
that some of the officials at the state
rapltol remarked that they feared
they would have to wait for their sala
ries .
In addition to the foregoing the
proposition regarding part oi the pub- :
lie property fund not heretofore ta- ;
ken into account, has got to he taksn ,
into consideration.

DEVOTED TO THE INTERESTS OF PIERCE COUNTY.
BLACKSHEAR. GA., Till KSDAV. JUNE 20. 1901.
Attorney General Terrell spent
Wednesday in looking up this matter
for the governor. He found that be
tween the time of the adoption of the
constitution in 1S7S and ltitfO there had
been derived from the sale of publlt
property $1U,202.26, which was used
to pay current expenses, and has nev
er been credited to the public prop
erty fund.
Under the decision of the supreme
court, it is said, this amount must im
mediately be placed to the credit of
that fund and treated In the same man
ner.
State Officials Talk.
The court's decision was evidently
no less of a surprise to Governor Can
dler than to most of the other state
house officials. Naturally it brought
up matters that kept him busy the
greater part of the day. It left him
confronted with a deeper problem to
solve than he had when the issue was
first raised—the question of where to
get funds to pay the running expenses
of the state government.
“It leaves us confronted with a
grave danger," he said; "a danger
which, in fact, is now upon us. The
limit of my borrowing capacity is
$200,000. There Is, 1 am informed,
$j 12,000 which must be credited to the
public fund, an amount derived from
the sale of public property which has
been paid out for general expenses.
That makes $544,000 In the treasury
which we cannot touch.
“With this state of affairs we have
not -money enough available to pay
the running expenses of the govern
ment, leaving the teachers entirely out
of the question. I have some hope of
being able to pay the teachers a small
portion of their salaries, but even
that's problematical.”
State School Commissioner O. R.
Glenn gave out the following state
ment with regard to the decision:
“It Is a staggering blow to the pub
lie school system of Georgia, and
forces a condition that must be re
lieved as soon as posBlbl*. It does not
(natter that it comes from the court
of last appeals. Tha suffering that the
decision entails ts not mitigated by
the fact that me decision is final and
must be obeyed. The decision may be
absolutely correct, so far us the writ
ten constitution is concerned. I sup
pose nobody will question the wisdom
and Justice of the highest court of
the state. They were bound under
oaths to trim tne last vestige of para
sitlc growth, as they see it, from the
constitutional tree. It does not matter
that the great mass of our people both
desired and expected a different decis
ion. Tho decision Is law; the court
that makes it must be respected and
the derision upheld. We have tha
money In tne treasury, but we cannot j
use it. The legislature must devise ;
some other means to relieve the situa- j
tion that is absolutely perilous to our
schools. We cannot longer maintain ;
a school system under present condi
tions. The children must he educated.
A11 we have and all that we are Is
wrapped up in our children. Tne state j
will live nowhere else as she will live i
in the children. If death should ever '
come to the state, the first token of
dissolution will be the cry of the chil- !
dren.”
“Triumph of Law,” Says Park.
In speaking of tne decision Treasur
er Park said: i
"I had little doubt as to the outcome !
of the case especially after I had re
ceived the opinion of so many lawyers I
and other learned men all oyer the ;
state. Among the number were twelve j
judges of superior courts from whom
i I heard either _ v. by i letter or verbally, „ i
i
and all oi whom* stated they would not
have decided tl.e case as Judge Can- !
{1]pr dl(!
"I do not look on the decision as
any personal triumph for myself but j
rather as a triumpn of the fundamen
tal law of the state, of the constitu- I
tion. My sympathy, as 1 have fre- !
quently stated, Is with the teachers. j
and chief In the I ;
my regret matter Is
that the public schools win not get
their money as promptly as would
have been the case had it been other
wise. They will all ultimately get ev
ery cent that Is coming to them, how
ever. The school boards in all of
the counties, I am Informed, will pay
the Interest on money borrowed to pay
the teachers so that tne latter will
lose nothing. In counties where the j
teachers borrowed the money in per
son, I understand, it is the purpose of
tho school boards to pay the interest
for them, so that they will get their ! |
salaries in full.”

Industrial Convention Delegates
Discuss Nicaragua Cana!.
STRONG ADDRESSES ARE MADE
Florid* Man Led In the Debate—Ala

In His State—Counclll on
Race Question.
A Philadelphia special says: The
delegates to the Southern industrial
convention Thursday considered the
Important question of waterways and
their relation to the improvement of
the country's trade. An Interesting
discussion occurred on the value of an
isthmian canal, the opinion of the
speakers being that the proposed Nica
ragua canal would be the most desira
ble economical channel between the
Atlantic and Pacific coasts. Hon. Bew
ail C. Cobb, of Pensacola, led the de
bate on this subject. The Mississippi
river and Its tributaries were also dis
cussed, the speakers giving reasons
why the waterways of the south should
be developed and utilized.
J. B. Gibson, of Birmingham, road n
paper on "Iron nnd Steel Manufacture
in the South," detailing the develop
ment of the industry and showing the
benefits to investors and manufactur
ers.
Two interesting addresses were de
livered at the night session, one by
Dr. William H. Tolman on Hie subject
of improving the conditions of wage
earners, and the other by W. H. Ooun
cill, who spoke in behalf of the col
ored race.
J. B. Gibson, of the Commercial Club
of Birmingham, Ala., was the first
speaker at the morning session. He
read a paper on "Iron and Steel Man
facturo in the South,” showing the
growth of that industry since the de
velopment of the iron deposits wns
begun. Mr. Gioson said it had bees
known for many years that iron was
abundant in Alabama, but the owners
of land were not sufficiently wealthy
to mako the necessary equipments.
"The export of pig iron from the Bir
mingham district,” said Mr. Gibaon,
"began )■ 1387, and an average of
200,000 tons per annuam have since
been exported. In 1900 the United
States exported 286,783 tons of pig
iron, and of this amount Alabama fur
nished 238,615 tons.
"When the Nicaragua canal is built,
Alabama coal will supply the steam
ships of the world; her iron, steel, tim
ber and labor will build them, and the
product of her industries will load
,tlera -
The discussion on the Nicaragua ea
nal was opened by Hon. Sewall Cobh,
of Pensacola, Fla. He said in part;
“Five hundred and fifty millions of
people oi the far east, for half a cen
tury have entreated us to open a high
way through the narrow strip of land
that ronnect8 the two great continents
()f Amerk . ai bllt we „ ave had at the

“The twentieth century calls for hu
man advancement. We of the south
learned at the close of the war that if
wo would develop our resources tho
military arm must be subservient to
the civil authority.
"The Clayton-Bulwor treaty is only
a pretext for delay. We cannot con
cede the right of any nation to dictate
either locality or manner of occupa
tion to those whose mutual Interests
demand a work free from entangling

the United States of America arc com
petent to decide what, is best for their

W. II. Counclll, colored, president
of the Agricultural and Mechanical
college, of Normal, Ala., spoke on In
dustrial education and Its relation to
race development. President Counclll
said he had been a slave boy and his
experience at that, time caused him to

LOOMIS (iOES TO LISBON.
Former Minister Plenipotentiary to
Venezuela Gets a More Con
genial Assignment.
Tho following changes In diplomatic
posts was announced at Washington
Monday:
Francis B. Loomis, minister to Ven
ezuela. has been transferred to be
minister to Portugal, vice John N. Ir
win, of Illinois, resigned.
Herbert W. Bowen, of New York,
present minister to Persia, has been
transferred to Caracas, succeeding Mr.
Loomis ns minister to Venezuela.
Lloyd C. Griscom, of Pennsylvania,
present first secretary of legation at
Constantinople, lias been made min
ister to Persia.
Spencer F. Eddy, of Illinois, present
second secretary at Paris, has been
made first secretary at Constantinople
to succeed Mr. Griscom.
Arthur Ballly Blanchard, of Louisi
ana, has been promoted from third to
second secretary at Paris.
By his transfer from Venezuela to
Portugal, Minister Loomis, who is now
on leave In England, loses $2,500 a
year. The salary nt Lisbon Is $7,500
and that at Caracas $10,000 per an
num. But Mr. Loomis finds sufficient
compensation In the climatic change
and In the probability of more conge
nial duty at his new post. Beside, his
actual rank Is the same in cither ease,
namely, minister extraordinary and
envoy plenipotentiary.
Mr. Bowen, who becomes the new
minister to Venezuela, has a most
creditable record in the consular and
diplomatic service. He became Uni
ted Slates consul at llarcclnnn In
1890 nnd Ills office at that post was
raised to the rank of consul general
five years afterwards. Mr. Bowen
stuck to his post through the exciting
days preceding the Spanlsh-Amerlcan
war as long as any American could
have found safety on Spanish soil. At
the conclusion of toe war he was about
to return to his old post, but Instead
was appointed minister resident and
consul general to Persia.
The change so far ns It concerns
the Venezuelan minister is said at the
state department to have no particular
political significance, Mr. Loomis
goes elsewhere than Caracas at his
own request and desire. It Is true that
the Venezuelan government has ex
pressed dissatisfaction with Mr. Loom
is in more ways than one, but the fact,
that the minister is not removed from
; the diplomatic service, but 1 h given an
other post of equal dignity and hon
or, is a mark of the esteem of the state
department. Also, it may ho noted,
Mr. Bowen, the new minister, goes to
his post with instructions on the same
line as those supplied to Mr. Loomis,
j which formed the basis.for his action,
; so that, Mr. Bowen, who Is a man of
i j, ri , nb vigor, is likely to follow Mr.
I Loomis’ footsteps In the matter of
policy,
