is Mr.. +. B. Wilson. who is now ex-
amining these records.
As to Transfer OF Funds
The commission held sessions ear
ly this afternoon and tonight. There
was no announcement from the night
session. except that very probably
something will turn up tomorrow.
Mr. J. V. Wallace, of Charleston,
chairman pro tempore, presided over
the sessions today.
The commission stated tonight that
nothing has yet been done in the mat
tre of the transfer of the $4,000 from
the local bank to other banks. 'ine
letter from State Treasurer Jennings
will probably be taken up tomorrow.
In this letter it is pointed out that
four Of the five banks named are not
State repositories.
The old commission in toto. as fol-
lows, appeared today: ". J. Murray,
the eX-chairman; John McSween,
Timmonsville; J. Steele Brice, Ches-
ter: Avery Patton, Greenville, and
A. n. Wood, Gaffney. The members
residing out of town were able to re-
turn this afternoon, owing to the COM
promise reached. The new commission
insisted upon the production of the
records, SO, from its standpoint, there
was no compromise. 1fne word "com-
promise" is used, as it expresses the
effect of the agreement reached to-
day by which the vouchers are turned
over for inspection without the old
commissions losing possession, and
with the expert accountant represent
ing the former commission.
Considerable Argument.
There was considerable argument
over the voucher matter. Attorneys

members are present: John V. Wal
lace. Charleston; B. Frank Kelley.

recent contempt proceedings against
DR.. Murray.
The old commissioners presented
expense bills for their services as
witnesses, the suggestion being made |
that they be paid regular civil wit
nesses' per diem and mileage The

Section Foreman Makes Discovery
That Prevents Possible Thanks
giving Catastrophe.

Timely discovery of a broken rail
on the Peoria branch of the Chicago,
Rock Island & Pacific railway Thurs
day morning by a section foreman
averted disaster that might have
assumed appalling proportions. The
broken rail, short distance this
side OF Coal Valley. was discovered
only short time before the sos
train out of Rock Island was due to
pass the point.
Leaving q man to flag the passen-
ger train, the foreman and his crew
went TO Coal Valley where another
rail was secured. When the train
approached and was brought to a
stop, passengers alighted to ascer-
tain the trouble. At first Il was
thought that an effort had been
made to wreck the train. This the
ory was choked down by the railroad
men, who said the rail had been
broken possibly by q freight train.
Had the engine been going at a
rate OF 30 miles an hour and
struck the broken rail, II would
have been thrown into the ditch. The
train was heavily loaded with peo-
pie on their way to take Thanksgiv.
ing dinner with friends. The train
was delayed an hour while the track
was mended.

a mild climate, and so 1t has.
Pastures are green and open to cat

great advantage to the stockmen. The
springs are advanced. enabling the
garden men to get on their plots early

The cheapest land In the state is that
broken hill land designated as the
Ozark mountains, and 1t is upon this
range that banner fruit has been

are making from 20 to 40 per cent on
the money invested, while the man on
the high priced land Is struggling for 6

thought that he would like TO be
spoken of as the best farmer in his

farmer in community of good farm
