A CHILD'S FORTUNE.

South Carolinians Figure I'm an I'm.
portant Case I'm New York.
The following from the New York
Herald Of the 14th, will be of interest
to many in this State:
Horace Secor, Jr. has been appoint
ed referee by Judge Beekman of the
supreme court for the purpose of de.
Gliding whether 81, 500 is u reasonable
sum for the support, maintenance aud
education of q child eight and half
years old. He will incidentally be
called upon to decide whether the
child's guardian, who is his aunt, shall
receive 50, 600 additional year for
taking care of him.
The child in question is Francis Ma
riou Whaley, who was born ON April
20. 1889. He is the son OF Lnnisipc
McCready Whnley and of William
Whaley. His mother was the daughter
Of Nathaniel McCready, millionaire,
and formerly president of the OF Do
minion Steamship company, aud held
high social position In this city. Her
death occurred on Oct. 10, 1889 His
father is a son of william Wha!cy au
eminent Charleston lawyer.
The child's grandfather died in
October, 1887, leaving large fortune,
and by his will left the residue of his
estate, subject to charge of S25, 900
annually, for the benefit of bis wife,
Caroline A. McCready to his three
children. BY the death of Mrs.
Whaley her interest in her fathers
estate will go to her son as soon as no
a. OF ho Thn
principal OF the fund amounts to $780,
900. Until he becomes of age the boy
will be entitled to tho income of this
fund, subject to O charge Of one-third
of 1875, 900 annually. The income of
the child is $l4. 600 a year aud is under
the care of the Farmers Loan and
Trust company, the guardian of his
estate.
Ever since October. 1889, the child
hos resided with his aunt, Marie
Whaley Chisolm. at her plan tation on
Edisto. Island, 8. O. She Is the guar
dian of his person. The court granted
an allowance for the boys support in
July, 1890. of 90, ZOO annually, which
was increased to 81, 900 year in May,
1892. This sum is now considered to
be entirely inadequate to support and
maintain him in a manper benefiting
his fortune and the social position Of
his family.
His aunt thinks that the court should
award her 81, 900 yearly for tho child 8
support and education, and that in ad
dition to this, she should also receive
81 ZOO as An allowance for herself as
compensation for her services. She
states that she has been compelled to
neglect her property and family and
oil her home comforts in behalf of the
child, and to devote her entire atten-
ton to him.
1t will be necessary to place the lit
tie boy in a private school in Charles.
ton for instruction, and in order to do
this home in Charleston will have to
be provided for him and his aunt, who
will have to leave her home on Edisto
Island to look after her ward This
will necessitate an increase in the boys
allowance.
Mrs. Chisolm also asks the court to
grant her AN allowance of 6,626, at
the rate Of $1,000 yearly, since May,
1892, for taking care of her nephew.
This sum she has expended out Of her

A BROADER GENERAL ANGRY.
HE CLAIMS DIscOURTEsY HAS BEEN
SHOWN HIM.


The Captains of the Charleston Com
Panies Ordered 20 Cease Holding
Meetings 10 Consider the Proposed
Trip 10 the Chicago Exposition.
Brig. Gen. Anderson Resents the
Failure to Consult Him About the
Matter.
Charleston. S. c, Feb. 2.-Brig. Gen.
Edward Anderson Of the Fourth brigade
OF South Carolina MALTA created SEN
sation by issuing a circular letter to the
captains Of the Charleston companies or
dering them to cease holding meetings
which had for their object consideration
Of the plan OF taking the Charleston milf
tia TO the exposition in Chicago next fall.
Con. Anderson's letter has not been made
public, but this is known to be the pur-
port Of it. Gen. Anderson claims that dis
courtesy has been shown to him as the
commanding officer Of the brigade.
Some time ago when the plan Of hold
ing the Chicago exposition was first moot
ed Maj. J. C. HemDhill, editor of the
News and Courier, received a personal
letter from gentlemen in Chicago, asking
him to call a conference of the captains of
the Charleston companies, before whom
the PROJECT or taking the southern SOL
diers to Chicago might be laid. He did so
and the captains of the companies have
had several meetings of the kind. Gen.
Anderson has never been invited to these
meetings, and he has never been consult
ed by the captains and he now claims that
the proceedings have been not only ir-
regular, but discourteOus. He ordered the
companies to hold no more meetings until
the proposition and pans for the Chicago
trip were communicated through the
proper source, presumably himself
Gen. Anderson was appointed to the COM
mand of the brigade by Gov. Evans. He
is young man who has some friends in
the city, but his appointment did not meet
with general approval here. He has been
rather touchy on the subject Of his rank,
and the respect and courtesy which ii en-
titles him to. The captains have said that
the proposition for the companies to go to
Chicago was a company and not 'bri-
gade' matter. 1t is presumed that Gen.
Anderson would have been consulted in
good time
Exactly what will be the result of the
order ne has given no one can say. Some
people think that IT may put an end to
the exposition as far as the Charleston
companies are concerned, while others
think that the whole difficulty will be cas-
lily and amicably adjusted.

BONES DEAL WITH THE BANK.
Mr.. Fleming Tells the story of the
Sale of the Cotton.


Sale of the Cotton.
Augusta. Ca, Feb. 21.-The preliminary
hearing in the John p Bones case was
held to-day before Judge Eve sitting as
committing magistrate f. e. Fleming tes-
titled that Bones gave Fleming, Thomas
& Co, bankers, note for $S1, 600, secured
by warehouse receipt for sol bales of cot
ton; that cotton was to be sold and the
proceeds appropriated to the payment of
the note; that Bones sold the cotton pledg-
ed to the bank and appropriated the money
TO his own use instead of paying it to the
bank; that some of the cotton pledged was
not farmers placed in warehouse to be
sold, but was cotton bought and owned
by Bones. He also testified to Bones flight
and subsequent arrest at FL Paso, Tex.
O. M. Stone testified to being in the en-
ploy of Bones and to the sale of certain
cotton pledged by Bones to the bank.
J. d. White testified to buying the cot
ton and paying Bones for it.
Hon. }. X. Lamar, for the prosecution
argued that the technical case depended
upon whether pledging a warehouse re-
ceipt for cotton gave the bank title TO the
cotton, and he reiterated a number of all-
thorities to show that 1t did. He recog-
nized the general law that there must be
actual delivery of goods pledged, but that
the act of 1887 made specific exception in
case OF warehouse receipts, elevator re-
ceipts and bills of lading. This was be-
cause of heavy and large goods il being
impractical for a bank 10 actually receive
sol bales of cotton.
The counsel for the defendant introduce
ed no testimony ard made no argument
He withdrew his demand for a preliminary
hearing and announced that the defendant
would await the action of the grand jury
appearance before the April term of the
superior court
