A check for approximately $25,000 is expected to 1? r iu:_ iu? arrive lrum uus suuiuc m uic vmuc of the sheriff within the next few days. The board passed this resolution after they had been informed that both the attorney general and the county attorney had expressed some doubt as to the county being able to collect a penalty from the Railroad Company, due to the fact that it was in the hands of receivers. A recent conference between the county attorney, Julius Banzet, and Seaboard officials, resulted in a proposal by the latter that the county waive all penalties and give the company a 10 per cent discount. The board turned thumbs down on this proposal and instructed the attorney to again meet with officials at Raleigh. Yesterday they voted their approval of accepting a settlement without penalty after they had learned that there was considerable doubt as to their ability to collect such penalty.
