commission appeared in answer to
summons before the present commits

O'Clock yesterday. The Supreme court
having decided that the new commits
sion had not the right to demand pos
session of the vouchers of the old
commission the latter, through one
Of their attorneys, w. +. Stevenson
of Cheraw, expressed their readiness
to comply with the order Of their sue
cessors for an inspection of the vouch-
ers. Mr.. Stevenson made it clear that
the members of the former commits
sion did not admit the right Of the
new commission to investigate their
affairs as commissioners and held
that only the legislature had the
right to make such an investigation.
There were no sensational develop
ments.
After considerable discussion of
the time, the place, and the men, a
plan devised by the old commission in
executive session held in the State
library and proposed by Mr. Steven
sion in the renewed open session Of
both commissions was finally adopted.
According to this plan, all vouchers
will be open to the inspection Of E.

accountant, who served in that ca
pacity with them as commissioners.
Mr.. Thorp brought with him the
much discussed vouchers in two neat
ly strapped packages. each half as
large as an ordinary suit case, and
both together containing about 1000
vouchers.
The question Of per diem and mile
age for the members Of the old COM
mission called here by the new COM
mission brought out some arguments
on economy, but was settled for the
present by each member submitting
an account Of his railroad travel and

witnesses in civil proceedings in
Richland county. Whether or not
Mr.. Thorp should be compensated for
his present services as accountant was
left open for the present.
