CASE YET
In COURT
One Phase of Peoples Bank
Failure Matter to Be Re-
Argued-COurt Was Ev-
enly Divided, and Will
Come Up Again on Call
of 9TH Judicial Circuit.

The case of w. d. Arthur, ct al. VS..
the Peoples Bank, in one of it's
phases, was argued in the Supreme
court, at its winter term and that
court has recently passed an order
requiring 1T to be re-argued on the
call OF the 7th circuit in that court
which will be some time in June. The
reason for re-argument is that the
Supreme court is equally divided as
to the decision of the case, and as it
involves new and important uues-
ton, an order for re-argument has
been passed.
Ordinarily when the Supreme court
is evenly divided in it's opinion as to
the decision of any case, the judg-
ment of the circuit court is thereby
affirmed. The following are the facts
at issue in the case: The stockhold-
ers of the bank, under Judgment OBJ
tanned, were compelled to pay to the
depositors the amount given them in
full before the exhaustion of the as
sets of the bank, and at the time
when the depositors and general cred.
ltors had each received 32 per cent
of their claims, making it necessary
for the stockholders to pay to the
depositors the remaining 68 per cent
which they did. After the deposi-
tors were thus paid in full, the receiv-
ers went ahead and collected the as
sets amounting to several thousand
dollars, which funds are now in hand
for distribution. The stockholders
contend that under the law they are
entitled to receive back from this
fund now in hand such portion as the
depositors would have received and
whom they have paid, and that they
are entitled to share with the gen
|eral creditors of the bank ratably
as the depositors would have shared
with them had they not been paid by
the stockholders before the exhaus-
ton of the assets.
The general creditors contend that
they are entitled to be paid in full,
befIrs anything. ia paid hack to the
stockholders.
Under the law, stockholders are
made liable to depositors in sum
equal to their stock in case of insol-
Vency of bank, and this amount can
be collected by depositors before eX-
haustion of the assets as was done
IN this case. So the question now
before the Supreme court is as to the
distribution of this fund now in the
hands of the receivers. Judge Prince.
who heard the matter on the circuit
decided that stockholders were en-
titled to share in this fund to the
same extent as depositors could have
done had they not been paid by the
Stockholders. And from this order
OF Judge Prince an appeal was TAX
en-, and the Supreme court was evenly
divided in the matter and it was or
dered re-argued as above stated.
Judge c. A. Woods was. at the
Tune OF the ARGUMENT, member of
the Supreme court, an upon his ele-
vatlon to the Federal bench, an even
number of justices who heard the
case remaining.

Wants Longer School Hours

Union, S. c., April 20, IA
10 the Citizens and Taxpayers OF
Union County:
1t has been a hard task to get our
trustees and the superintendent Of
our schools to see and to realize
the actual benefit of school scssio1.
wish to ask the question, WHY
should we have such few hours a
day and why could the sessions not
be the same as they are and the
hours for school be from $3.50 till
p. M? Then it would not be
necessary for child to stay in
cation.
l believe all teachers are willino
TO work longer for more money and
we are aware of the fact that orr
schools are run by the taxpayers and
hnlyy hmmy not give their children the very
best service possible even at a little
more cost to the school and to the
county Taxpayer.

DIR. Rice has sold his interest in the
concern to Mr.. Chas. H. Milhous, as
has Mr.. L. M. Rice, another stock

clpal stockholder in the concern, and
he, together with the remaining
stockholders, have decided to change
the name of the corporation to "The
Milhous Drug Co." This change in
name will take place at an early day,
and as soon as rroper steps can be
taken to bring it about. Mr.. Milhous
is wlde-awake business man. He
has been manager of the business for
he past 16 months and is strictly
business. He has shown himself a
very capable man by the good man
agement ne has given the business.

to thoroughly realize the possibili-

decided to purchase a large majority
