States senator from South Carolina,
is holding one or the other Of said
Offices contrary to the constitution of
the State.
That Robt. Mcfarland, who is
trustee of the South Carolina univer-
sity. is also probate Judge of Darling
ton county, is holding one or the
other of said Offices contrary to the
constitution Of the State.
Your committee has given much
thought to the question of whether or
not the life trustees of Clemson col
iege are iii the same category as trus-
tees elected by the general assembly
or their officers. Some Of your com
mittee have grave doubts upon this
point. 1t is a question that ought to
be dcfnitely and finally settled. 1t
can only be determined by g tribunal
whose province it is under the law to
determine legal questions. Your COM
mittee therefore recommends the
adoption Of the accompanying concur
general Of the State to institute quo
warranto proceedings, or such pro-
ceedings as in his judgment are
proper, before a proper tribunal for
the purpose of determining whether
or not a life trusteeship of Clemson
agricultural college is an office Of
honor or profit, or wether it is an
office or position Of profit or trust
under this State, the United States Of
America or any of them or under any
other power. Until this question
shall have been finally determined in
the manner suggested it will be a con-
stantly recurring source of annoyance
to the people of the State and to those
who are holding such trusteeships
and an office at the same time, be-
sides under the honest belief that
they are not violating the law.
Your committee, composed of lay
men and lawyers, does not undertake
TO decide this purely legal question.
but for the purposes above indicated
it reports that Alan Johnstone is a
life trustee Of Clemson AGRICULTURAL
college and also State senator from
Newberry county. and that b. r. Till
man is q life trustee OF Clemson agri-
cultural college and also United States
senator from South Carolina"
The following is the concurrent
resolution the commission attached
to its report:
THAT the attorney general Of the
State is hereby authorized and di-
rected to institute in the name Of the
state QUO warranto proceedings, or
such other proceedings as in his judg-
ment may be proper, before a proper
tribunal, for the purpose Of determin-
in; whether or not life trusteeship
OF Clemson agricultural college under
the will Of the late Tomas G.. Glenn
son is an Office of honor or profit. or
whether it is an Office or position Of
profit or trust within the meaning Of
the State constitution under this
State, or the United States Of Amer
lea, or any other power. and if so,
whether person holding such life
trustecship is inhibited under the con-
stitution Of this State from holding at
the same time any other Office Of
honor or profit. and especially wheth-
cr person can be member Of the
general assembly Of South Carolina
while holding a life trustcesnip or the

"As to the inquiry as to what trus-

the constitution Of the State your
committee would report that after
mature deliberatiOn il is Of the opin-
ION, generally speaking, that the trus-

one from holding another Office of

SYNOPSIS.

Philip Cayley, accused of q crime OF
which he is not guilty, resigns from the
army In disgrace and his affection for
his friend. Lieut.. Perry Hunter, turns to
hatred. Cayley seeks solitude, where he
perfects a flying machine. While soaring
over the Arctic regions, he picks up a
curfously shaped stick he had seen in the
assassin's hand. Mounting again, he dis
covers a yacht anchored In the bay. De-
~seending near the steamer, he meets a
girl on an Ice foe. He learns that the
g1rfs name is Jeanne Fielding and that
the yacht has come north to seek signs
OF her father, Captain Fielding, an arctic
explorer. A party from the yacht is ma
king search ashore. After Cayley departs
0eanne finds that he had dropped q cu-
Elously-shaped stick. Captain Planck and
the surviving crew Of his wrecked whaler
are in hiding on the coast. A giant ruff
man named Roscoe, had murdered Fielding
and his two companions, after the ex-
piorer had revealed the location of an
enormous ledge of pure gold. Roscoe then
took command of the party. 1t develops
that the ruf1an had committed the MUIR
der witnessed by Cayley. Roscoe plans
TO capture the yacht and escape with q
pig load Of gold. Jeanne tells Fanshaw,
owner of the yacht, about the visit of the
sky-man and shows him the stick left by
Eayiey. .Fanshaw declares hat 1t is an
Eskimo throwing stick, used to shoot

searching party with a sprained ankle.

A New York judge, it will be re-

stitutional the new law that an auto
mobilist, having run over a pedes-
trian, must stop and leave his name.
The judge said that the automobiles
had a perfect right to run away and
leave the mangled victim to bleed to
death alone for the reason that, in
criminal cases, no man is obliged to
bear witness against himself. James
Halden Wilkes, president of the De-
tense Society of Atlanta, discussed
this legal decision at the society's
last meeting. And that" he cried

Important Decision.

The Court Of Appeals. Judge Carroll
wiring has rendered a decision OF great
importance to Madison county and one
that will establish a precedent in other
counties in the State Following the
custom Of his predecessors in Office for
the past fifteea years or more. Sheriff
McCord claimed as his fee for collecting
railroad tax 10 per cent on the first
s. 600 ank 4 per cent on the remainder.
County Attorney jackson and the Fiscal
court took a different view Of the mat
ter, claiming that the railroad tax was
not a separate tax but only part OF the
general levy 70 be collected and that the
sheriff was entitled to only the same per
cent as is allowed on the general levy.
The case WIS heard by Judge Benton,
who decided in favor OF Sheriff McCOrd-
County Attorney Jackson, in behalf OF
the Fiscal court, took the case 70 the
Court Of Appeals. and thai Court has
reversed the lower Court. holding the
views AS presented by Mr.. jackson. The
effect Of the decision will be saving to
Madison county Of about $500 per year.
Mr.. Jackson is also Of tho opinion that
former Sheriffs, running back for a
period Of about fifteen years, are liable
for amounts they have been paid over
and above what they would be entitled
10 Under Judge CAROLS decision. This
would amount 10 something near 81. 500
for the county. Il appears that there
has been no decision. heretofore, upon
this question. and Sheriff McC0rd and
