The work of repairing and refinishing
went on, then, suddenly, one day another
secret spring was touched, and from be-
meath the copying shelf slid a shallow
drawer, containing several yellowed pa
pers, will, a deed to some property and
some correspondence regarding them.
When these papers were returned to the
members of the family 1t was found that
they were some documents which had
been lost sight of, and that they promptly
settled a lawsuit which had been pend
ing for over seventy years. The will had
been superseded by a later one, but the
deeds covered land which had been in
litigation for many decades. The papers
had been placed in the box probably by
the great-grandfather of the present

Hot Reioinde, Made BY Capitol
Commission.
Special to Charleston Post.

Columbia, Feb. 20. The re-
port of the commission for the
completion of the State house was
presented to the General Assem-
bly, this morning. 1t is an arralgn.
ment of the joint investigating
committee appointed to investi,
gate tho work. The report is
very long and verbose. 1t is shown
by affidavit that two members of
the old commission requested the
privilege Of going before the in
vestigation committee, one of
them, Gen. Bellinger, repeating
this demand three times. The
investigating committee held its
sessions behind closed doors ad
mitting only one witness at
time, asking witnesses not to say
what questions had been asked
them, and only admitted Senator
NJ arshall of the old commission.
The whole investigation is de-
nounced.
The commission attacks the
disclaimer of any reflection upon
them, made by the members of
the investigating committee on
the floor of the House, and state
that the head lines of the news
papers ID sufficient evidence, that
the report was considered a re-
lection by the people of the State,
and that they them selves 80 con
sldsr it. The commission asserts
that, while the building may have
ssme defects, they were we'll
pleased with the general result of
the work, and that they are still
satisfied with it, and that the peo
pie have received full value for
the money expended. Over two
million dollars having been ex-
pedned on the old portion of the
building, it would have been the
height of folly to expect them,
with one hundred and seventy five
thousand dollars to carry out the
design OF the original architect
who contemplated q five million
dollar building. They assert
the work as whole Is we'll done,
and that as to the roof, before
payment was made, the money
due the contractors was withheld
for n month until practical test
could be given the roof, and net
withstanding the severe rains dur
ing this period no water entered

As to the removal of the old
material, it is claimed that every
bidder who tiled bid for the
work did 80 upon the basis of get
tihg this material, the contract
bidder allowing the State value
for it in his estimate. The At
tsrney General gave it as hi. op

whatever that this material was

NO MONEY
FOR JURORS
House Makes Mistake In
Current Expense
Bill.

The action of the House in indefinite
" postponing the bill. providing that
litigants pay court costs without add
ing an additional appropriation for
Jury fees in the current expense bin, is
likely to lead to endless trouble. Cover
nor Carter was considerably put out
over the matter yesterday after the
House adjourned, and was afraid he
might have to veto portions of the cur
rent expense bill unless it was again
amended.
1.-The House increased the appropria-
ton few days ago for court expenses
in order to include pay of jurors, but
unfortunately this was intended only
for Jurors in criminal cases. said Gov
ernor Carter yesterday afternoon. 1T
was the understanding that the jury
bill was TO be passed then, requiring
court costs to be paid by the litigants
only in civil cases, the jurors in Grim
inaI cases to be paid by the govern
nent. AS the matter now stands the
appropriation is not sufficient to pay
the jurors in all cases and it seems to
me better not to have any appropria-
ton for jurers at all. and I am inclined
to veto so much of the bill as provides
for their payment.

Address of Welcome:

J. s s Il : 4 : y Il
Ladies and Gentlemen: -
The ladies CT the Aid Society and
all the members of the Congregational
church society who are present, meet
and greet you, who represent our sister
churches, tonigh. with manifold pleas
Ire. we deeply appreciate the courtesy
of your attendance upon this occasion,
and while you are here assembled we
gladly take this opportunity to ac-
knowledge our Indebtedness to you for
the kindly hospitality you have shown
to us during the weeks we have been
a scattered flock without a shepherd
Of our own giving us ever a cordial
welcome within the portals of your
own church homes.
And we know that your presence to-
night is significant of the fact that
you are in favor of promoting COM
fadeship among the churches and that
you believe in the strong and tender
and effective clasp OF. Christian hands
of whatever name.
A few weeks since you came to
mourn with us the departure OF a
much-beloved pastor and this demon
stration of welcome to another does
not indicate upon your part nor ours
that the long and faithful ministry
which then was closed, is now forgot
ten. 1t is cherished sacredly within
our hearts and spread reverently upon
the annals of our church, but that re
cord is made up, it is nel..ler to be adj
ded to nor taken from, and now in
this glorious springtime of the year
we lift our faces upward and press
onward to the future.
To DR.. and Mrs Askin we tender a
warm and sincere welcome. We are
happy and honored in presenting them
to our friends and townspeople this
evening and shall rejoice to have them
lay asioe the thought that they are
recent comers and to enter in at once
to all the common interests of friend
ship and citizenship with full propri-
etary rights.
AS pastor and people we stand to-
gether at the beginning of pilgrim
age along an unknown way; it is in
deed our earnest wish that in the
year to come. we may ever be found
standing together in sympathy and
love.
ask you, dear pastor, to have
patience with us as our weaknesses
both as a body ard as individuals be-
come revealed to you and in times Of
stress may it be that we shall have
the grace not, too much, to disappoint
you. Z
Once more We say to those who are
here tonight from the other churches
and young peopie's societies, that your
presence gives us pleasure. We know
that yon are one with us In the faith
