Arthur, et al. vs. the Peoples Bank, in one of its phases, was argued in the Supremo court, at its winter term and that court has recently passed an order romiirincr it tr. Kn ?? -l ? --t> -v w wc ic-tti^ucu uii tut? 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 a new and important question, an order for re-argument has been passed. Ordinarily when the Supreme court is evenly divided in its opinion as to the decision of any case, the judgment of the circuit court is thereby affirmed. The following are the facts at issue in the case: The stockholders of the bank, under judgment obtained, were compelled to pay to the depositors the amount given them in full before the exhaustion of the assets of the bank, and at the time when the depositors and general cred itors had each received 32 per cent of their claims, making it necessary for the stockholders to pay to the depositors the remaining fi8 per cent, which they did. After the depositors were thus paid in full, the receivers went ahead and collected the assets 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 th'e depositors would have shared with them had they not been paid by the stockholders before the exhaustion of the assets. .The general creditors contend that they are entitled to be paid in full, befare' anything k* paid Itack to the f?, stockholders. Under the law, stockholders are made liable to depositors in a sum equal to their stock in case of insolvency of a bank, and this amount can be collected by depositors before exhaustion 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 hoard the matter 011 the circuit, decided that stockholders were entitled 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 taken, and the Supreme court was evenly divided in the matter and it was ordered re-argued as above stated. Judge C. A. Woods was, at the time of the argument, a member of the Supreme court, an upon his elevation to the Federal bench, an evon number of justices who heard the case remaining. _ Wants Longer School Hours. Union, S. C., April 29, '14. To the Citizens and Taxpayers of Union County: It has been h hard task to get our ti us tees and the superintendent of our schools to see and to realize the actual benefit of a school sessio n I 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 8:30 till 4 p. m.? Then it would not be necessary for a child to stay in school ten years to realize an education. I believe all teachers are willing to work longer for more money and we are aware of the fact that our schools are run by the taxpayers and why not give their children the very best service possible even at a little more cost to the school and to the county Taxpayer.
