FISHERS. HILL REUNION

| A crowd estimated at,60U0 attended
the Annual Confed erate Reunion a.
Fishers Hill on Saturday, and those
who for years have made the annua
pilgrimage to the famous picnic grounds
were struck with the fast disappearance
of the thin gray line Of heroes Of
'61-'64. When it is considered that il
has been almost sixty years since the
Star and Bars were furled, in the
nature of things there could be com.
paratively few Of the old "Confeds'
to gather in reunion, but these few
were there. 1t was day for remi.
niscing for the followers of Lee and
jackson, and some there were among
the veterans present who had faced
the enemy's nusketry on the very
slopes where they sat on Saturday and
listened to the story of their valor as il
come from the lips Of Senator Walter
G. Mapp; of Accomac, candidate for
Governor of Virginia and the orator Of
the day
Other speakers who entertained the
listening thousands with inspiring adj
dresses were Rev. E. r. Golladay, a
Lutheran minister of Columbus, Ohio.
and native of Shenandoah County,
and Rev. James Haley, pastor of
the Melrose Street Methodist Church,
Roanoke, formerly pastor in charge
of several County churches.
1t was an orderly crowd and the only
untoward incident of the day was the
burning of an automobile, caused by
lighted cigarette which modern ex-
ponent of woman's rights dropped in
the car.
Special trains over the Southern and
Baltimore and Ohio railroads brought
hundreds to the grounds to add to the
thousands who came by automobile.
Music for the day was furnished by
the Valley Union Band Of Strasburg.
The weather was perfect for the oc-
casion and the crowd orderly.

AUDITOR REPORTS ON
SUPERVISOR WISMAN'S ACCOUNTS

/ The auditS OF the accounts OF tn
individual members of the Board o
Supervisors of Shenandoah county
covering the disbursement of public
funds passing through their hands ha
been completed, and the figures sub
mitted by the expert accountant indi
cate that there has been no misapplica-
ton of these funds.
The audit was the result OF re
port submitted to the Circuit Court oil
the County by special grand jury
investigating the handling of district
and county funds by Joseph F. Wis
man, Supervisor of Madison district
and while there was no direct charge
of Misrepresentation in. this report,
there was charge that the disburse
ments were irregular and reccomen-
dation that an audit be made and the
manner of handling public funds be
corrected.
The auditor employed by the Board
went over the accounts of the several
Supervisors, checking receipts and
expenditures by an examination of the
warrants issued and paid, and balanc-
ing these warrants with such vouchers
and checks as would indicate the ap-
plication of the funds in hand.
In the reconciliation of the County
Treasurer's account with Supervisor
j. F. Wisman's Bank book. the audit
shows that all checks actually paid to
j. F. Wisman by j. D. Harpine, treas
urer, amounted to $6224.99. There
was deduction of $2342.99 to reim-
burse Supervisor Wisman, that did not
pass through his accounts as Super
visor. Added to the difference OF
$3SS2 90 there was balance in Farm
ers Bank of Edinburg, on January l.,
1920, of $126.65 This makes total OF
$4OOS. IS. The audit adds to this 1884 IL,
contributions in Farmers Bank, max
ing total of S439277 to be reconciled
with Wisman's bank book.
The report submitted by the auditor
shows checks drawn by Supervisor
Wisman to the amount of $4451 "a,
showing an excess of disbursements in
excess of receipts of $58.77.
Explanatory of his findings the
auditor states that the report is based
| on the assumption that all checks sign
ed by the Supervisor are for work &C
tually done for the County, and the
report further sets out that checks
paid to Wisman as reimbursements
amounting to s2342. 80 cannot be veri
fled, as the minutes of the Board o
supervisors do not state in every In
stance whether the warrants drawn
are for amounts previously expended
or for work done.

Martin and Sergeant Ava Harvey. again was l divided today and once again it was the fagplane which was the laggard. Major Martin experienced consider. able difficulty at several stages Of the trip north from California, culminat- ing in the wreck of his plane against a mountain in Alaska.
 Last Monday the plane Chicago, l" which succeeded the Seattle, ex- perleneed engine trouble going from Cushimoto to Kagoshima, Japan, which resulted in a forced landing. Today a refractory engine--a new one installed at Kasumigaura--was unable 10 raise the machine from kagoshima harboE
 The other two planes went on with out it. The expectation here Is that tho Chicago, with Lieutenant Lowell II. smith, now commander of the flight, and his mechanician, Lieutenant Les lie F. Arnold, will make the 50e-mile jump across the China Sea 10 this port tomorrow if the weather permits, and the engine can be reduced 10 a more tractable condition by that time.
 Arrival of the two planes here at 3:05 o'clock this afternoon, under the pilotage Of Lieutenants Leigh Wade and Erie Nelson, with Sergeant A. NJ. ogden and Lieutenant John Harring- ton as mechanicians was dramatic. Great throngs, ranging from coolies to high Chinese functionarics. greeted the visitors as they swooped down off Black Point near the mouth Of the Whangpoo river, on which this city is located.
 The Americans immediately pro- cceded lip the stream about six miles and came ashore.
 The two planes arrived at 3:O5 o'clock covering the 500 miles from kagoshima in seven hours and S5 min. utes. including a brief stop in kago- shima bay.
