The $4,000 Commission on
Our Brilliant Bond Issue is
at Last to go Home.
Baltimore Sun.

The litigation over the commission
>oa S5, 600, 900, of bonds issued by the
State Of South Carolina in 1898 was
foally disposed Of 5y an opinion filed
in the Circuit Court Of Baltimore
yesterday by Judge Dennis, uu-
less an appeal is taken and the decision
reversed
Phases of the controversy have been
before the court for two years.
Golden Rhind, Of Augusta, Ca, was
appointed by South Caroliua as its
agent to negotiate the sale Of the bonds
for commission Of i per cent,
amounting to S7S. 500 He applied to
z. a Lancaster, Of New York. to as
ist him in making the sale, agreeing to
give Mr.. Lancaster one-third of the
commission. Mr.. Lancaster then form
ed syndicate. consisting Of New York
aod Baltimore bankers. to buy the
bonds.
When the syndicate was organized
Mr.. Lancaster, it was alleged, rep
resented all its members that he had
no interest in the commission that, be
stood on the some footing with the
others. and that the whole commission
went to Mr.. Rhiod. Wten the bonds
were about to be paid for the syndicate
discovered that Mr.. Lancaster had 40
interest of one third in the commits
sion.
Coucealment of Mr.. Lancaster's in-
terast, the syndicate conteuded. ren-
dered the whole contract for the pay
nent of commission void. aud they
protested against the payment of it to
either Mr.. Lancaster or Mr.. Rhind.
Before protest was properly served Mr..
Lancaster had secured his share of the
commission, amounting 20 S26, 600
Then the syndicate contendea that he
should be made to refund what he had
received and that Mr.. Rhiud was not
entitled to the share provided for him.
About year ago decree was
entered by Judge Wickes dlsmlssing
Mr. Lancaster from the suit on the
ground that Mr.. Lancaeter's liability
could not be tested 10 the suit as iusti-
,u.ed. The controversy then confirmed
as to Rhipd's rights to bis portion and
Judge Dennis decision yesterday
awarded the balance of the fund to Mr..
Rhind.
The Baltimore bankers composing
the syndicate are represented 10 the
litigation by Archibald H Taylor,
Fisher, Bruce & Fisher and Marshall,
Marbury & Bowdoin. Messrs Lancas.

competition OF the world, but the truth

The South Carolina Braidlng
Company at Work.

Cheraw has the admirable faculty of
working in "a hurry while doing work.
1t does not waste much time in pre-.
liminaries, powwows and perambula-
ting subscription work, but intro
duces and establishes new industries
and turns out their products in first
class shape, while the people of
slower towns are holding down dry
goods boxes and figuring" out esti-
mates and charg ing each other with
having no public spirit. The an
nouncement that Cheraw "contem-
plated'' knitting mill was hardly
cold before merchants in different
part Of the State were contemplating
the goods of the mill neatly put up of,
fered for sale at their counters. The
canning factory was at work within
a mouth, we believe, after it was
"projected " \ very few days ago
it was reported that the business
men of the town and some Rhode
Island parties were in correspond
ence relative to the establishment Of
factory in the town to make braided
rope, corset laces, suspender ends and
other such things, and we received
yesterday hank of the rope made by
the new mill. 1t is a very sudden
gated community in business mat
ters and has way oflighting where
it looks that is truly admirable.
The letter of our local correspond
ent printed this morning, tells the
story ofthe success and Importance
Of the latest new enterprise in brief
but business like and convincing way
The mill began work ca Tuesday,
and it's rope product is Of unrivalled
character aud quality, as is explain
ed. Samples have been submitted to
the United States Government and
many manufacturers, "and all pro-
nounce it the "best of its kind " 1t
is so far superior to other ropes that it
sustaina more than four times as much
strain, it's exceptioal strength being
due to the fact that it is solid braid
throughout, instead of being braid
ed skin enclosing loose parallel strands.
An important point is that the Che
raw company control the special ma.
chimes for making this kind of rope,
and there is "no limit to the enlarge
ment of "the works. The product
is sold at the same price as inferior
products, and, as previously announc-
ed, the mill has orders enough to keep
it busy for the next six months
Cotton rope of the same character
will be made, from yarn to be spun
in the mill, and there is an assured
market for this product also in the
cotton mills. The new mill is an i'm
portant one to begin with, and holds
strong position, and there is no
room TO doubt that It will attain very
much larger and more important pro-
portions Cheraw is to be congratu.
lated on having captured so valuable
an industry and the Rhode Islanders
are to be congratulated no less on
their good judgment and good for
tune in the chice of town for their
venture. They have cast their
braided lines in pleasant place, and

Must Balance to a Cent

Several times recently references
have been made to the fact that the
county officials were to be supplied
with a new system of record books
before the annual settlements would
be made by the comptroller general.
The following explanation of the new
system and its purpose was sent out
yesterday by the comptroller general,
and it gives the public some idea of
the scope thereof:
There has been shipped to your
address by the Walker, Evans & Cog
swell company the following books,
viz: For the county treasurer, one re-
cord book each for State, county and
school taxes, one record book for
county supervisor for county taxes;
and for school commissioner one re.
cord book for school taxes
lit is desired that these records be
at once perfected for the annual set
Element between the auditor and treas
urer for taxes of 1S94-s5
"All items Of taxes must contain
in debit columns all items Of taxes
chargeable to the treasurer, inclu
ding all back or uncollected taxes
from previous years, and in credit
side each seperate item paid fer State,
county and school purposes as lndi-
Gated by blank forms as may have
been collected from taxes levied each
fiscal year embraced in the settle
ment for taxes of 1S94.95 and from
other sources. When all items have
been properly entered in the proper
book by the treasurer-State taxes
in book for this purpose, county and
school taxes in the respective books
for these purposes-and the county
supervisor and school commissioners
have also entered each item belong.
ing to their respective departments,
then the auditor will check up vouch-
ers held by the treasurer with re-
cords of treasurer and school commits:
sloner, for all school taxes must bal
ance with the record in comptroller
generals Office
The county officials having thus
verified all charges and credits for
the settlement of 1894 95 taxes, tie
auditor should notify this office and
at once time will be fixed and the
foreman Of the grand Jury and other
officials required by law to witness
these annual settlements will be poti-
fed, and pursuant to legal require
ments witness said settlement and
sign all papers accordingly.
'sThe design OF this system Of
records is to keep in permanent form
in each Office complete tented
statement of the receipts and dis
bursement of all State, county and
school taxes and all funds received
on account of either of these funds
to make perfect the checks and
counter checks between the respec-
tive Offices
'The county treasurers' books
thus will balance to cent foc all
State taxes with the comptroller
generals and State treasurer's books,
for all county taxes with books Of
county supervisor. and for all school
taxes with the books Of school COM
missioner, as above stated.
Auditors are urged 70 press these
settlements forward to the earliest
day possible. Do not let matters rest
until these records are IN order and
the settIemen ent completed.

treasurers the county for those for
supervisors and school commission
