"Traders' Bank Case
Not Sufficient Funds to Pay the Preferred Creditors.
Lynchburg, Va., May 2.—Special.—The report of the commissioner, Mr. Charles H. Sackett, in the case of Chas. M. Blackford and James E. Edmunds, trustees, vs. Traders' Bank, has been recorded. In many respects the paper is one of the most interesting that has been filed in the Clerk's office for a long time. In the first place, the subject matter is most voluminous, and would fill a book of considerable size.
Traders' Bank made an assignment in the year 1897, but the commissioner delayed submitting a report, for the reason that he deemed it advisable to wait until the accounts in the hands of numerous banks having relations with the Traders had been, at least to some extent, brought to a satisfactory settlement. For the money borrowed from the various banks numerous collateral securities had been given, and to collect these required much time. Until this phase of the matter was properly solved it was impossible for the commissioner to ascertain what assets might be relied upon. As it is, the assets are exceedingly small, and from all accounts they will not be increased to any material extent.
By Mr. Sackett's report it is seen that the creditors have been divided into three classes—the first, second and third. In the first are included all preferred creditors; in other words, those persons who secured judgments against the Traders before the deed of assignment was executed. The debts in this class amount to $2,497.52.
In the second class are the general creditors, such as depositors, persons holding certificates of deposits, etc. These amount to $71,670.25.
In the third class are the collateral creditors, amounting to something over $20,000. This class includes those debts for which collateral was given. A considerable sum was realized from some of the sureties, but, as stated, the amount of these debts is still over $20,000.
It will thus be seen that the total indebtedness approximates $95,000.
By the commissioner's report the assets in hand are shown to be $1,725.12. As from the amount the commissioner's fee of $450 and the fees of the counsel will have to be deducted, sufficient funds will not have been realized to pay the preferred creditors, whose claims, as stated, amount to $2,497.52."

"Says Treasurer Drew Too Much—Commissioner Sackett Reports That Mr. Peebles Has Drawn $3,100 Over Legal Allowance. [Special to The Times-Dispatch.]
Amherst, Va., July 21.—Treasurer J. R. Peebles, of Nelson County, will have to return to the county the sum of $3,100, with interest for a number of years, provided the supervisors of that county sustain the report of Commissioner Sackett, to whom this matter was referred. This is the sum which it is claimed that Mr. Peeble has drawn as salary or commissions as county treasurer in excess of what he was entitled to draw under the law.
The matter of the overdraft of salary by Mr. Peebles has been agitated in Nelson county for some time. Last fall a hot campaign was waged against him for the office by Mr. H. B. Lee, in which this charge was made. Mr. Peebles was re-elected, but growing out of this contest soon thereafter the matter was taken up by the board of supervisors, and Mr. C. H. Sackett, of Lynchburg, was employed to report to the board how much Mr. Peebles was overdrawn.
Action on the Sackett report has been postponed to August 14th.
Quite a representative crowd of Nelson citizens were present on last Friday in Lovingston, when this matter was under discussion by the board, and much interest is being manifested by Nelson tax-payers. Mr. H. L. Brown, a prominent young attorney of that county, representing a number of taxpayers, is insisting that Mr. Peebles refund to the county the entire amount due, as shown by the Sackett report. Commonwealth's Attorney S. B. Whitehead advised the board to compromise with Peebles by accepting from him in full settlement the sum of $800."
