Columbia, March 27.?The Stack house winding-up commission, com? posed of Messrs. Wade Stackhouse, chairman; J. V. Wallace, T. F. Brantley, f. h. Domlnlck and e. m. Thompson, will file its final report with Governor Blease this week, in accordance with the Croason bill and will go out of office. The report i3 DOW ready. One matter which this report will show is that the balance of the over? charges due ihe State by the Rlchland Distilling Company has been settled througli Col. B. L. Abney, who was employed by this commission for this work. The Richland Distilling Com? pany settled for $25,000 in cash and 396 shares of capital stock In the Rlchland Distilling Company at the par value of $100 each, which gives the State the Rlchland Distilling Company's property here, valued at about $30,000, besides the $26,000 in cash, $12,500 of which has already been paid, and the other $12,500 will be paid In when the Attorney General enters a nol pros against the Blocks at the spring term of court in Chester, an indictment being now pending in that Court against them. This set? tlement was made by Col. Abney at the request of the commission, and with the approval of the Attorney General. This winds up the acts of the Stackhouse and Ansel commis? sions, under the provisions of the Crossen Acts. The Ansel commission, or the Mur? ray cnmmlslon us It is sometimes called, was composed of Dr. W. J. Murray, chairman; John McSween, J. Steele Brlce, Avery Patton and A. X. Wood.
