BODY NOT TO BE EXHUMED

deity Mutual Insurance Co. 70 Have
Body of Dargan, the Dead President
of Independent Oil Company Taken
Up for Examination-S25,o00 Pol
icy in Question.
Cheraw. S. c.. Special.-The first
step to be taken by the Fidelity Mu-
tual Insurance Co., Of Philadelphia, IN
sn effort to have the body of Robert
Keith Dargan, the late president Of
the Independent Cotton Seed Oil Com
pany, whose reported suicide here
some months ago caused profound
sensation. exhumed. failed Saturday
before Judge, Watts, Of the Circuit
Court, who refused the petition of the
company. Dargan was insured i'll this
company in the sum of $4,000.
The attorneys argued that the ,estl-
mony set forth in the afiidavits was
based entirely on hearsay and FOR this
reason the court would not be justified
in ordering the body exhumed. In
making his decision. Judge Watts
stated that he did not feel that It was
the court s business to confirm these
rumors and that the facts in the ease,
as presented by the petitioners, did
not Justify an order for the re-opeEiag
of the grave. ilasmuch as the action
was brought by individuals. Had the
request came from the solicitor Judges
Watts stated that it would, in ill
probibilty have been granted.
One of the attorneys Of the petition
erS stated that the company would be-
Gin action at once along other lines 20
secure the desired end. 1t is probable
that the company will make az effort
TO enlist the interest of the solicitor.
The hearing of the case has re-
vived. to TO small extent. the inter-
est which attached to the failure Of
the Independent Cotton Seed Oil Com
pany, the suicide of Robert Keith Dar-
Gan the presirent. whose accounts
were hundreds Of thousand dollars
short. and the sensational rumors 20
the effect that Dargaa did not commit
suicide and that he was still alive At
the time of his death. or supposed
death. it was said that he had made IN
exhaustive study of hypnotism and
mesmerism. as had also his brother,
who was with him at the time he was
said to have died. Some rumors were
to the effect that Dargan, when the
coroncr's jury viewed the body, was
not dead but merely in state of hyp-
notism. 1t is fact that neither the
coroner nor any of the jurors touched
the body or made any examination.
They were, to use common express
sion. railroaded through the room
where his body was. One Of the areu-
ments of the attorneys for the insur-
ance companies at the hearing was
based on this theory of hypotism.
Since the day Dargans death was
reported there have been many of the
best citizens in this and surrounding
towns and counties who have doubted
the reality of his death and this opin-
ion obtains now without any dimin-
utior.

MEMS QUEER EYES.
Painters Found Some Of Them
Jgv,ul as ModsIs.


Some men possess animal eyes,"
which defy di5guso and which are
always liable 10 prejudice their own
er's chances throughout lie. That
this, however, is ny no means invari-
ably the case is evidenced by solici-
tor in the north of England, who as
cribes much of his prosperity to
look of profound wisdom which has
gained for him many clients, but
which Is lent TO what would otherwise
be a somewhat commonplace coun-
tenance by pair of owl eyes"
At least three men who have come
under the writer's notice land there
are possibly many more like them)
earn precarious livelihood by sitting
to animal painters. All three have
come down in the world, and one Is
unknown to the other two. The first
mentioned belonged once to a good
Cheshire family, but went wrong and
emigrated years ago to Canada, where
he found his level on the waterside
at Montreal.
According to his own story, he was
on the verge of starvation. when, one
evening he was accosted by a French
Canadian artist, who asked him
whether he cared to earn a dollar
by coming to his studio and sitting
for him for half an hour. Only when
the painting, very large one, was
completed, did the unfortunate model
discover that the picture was study
, in farm-yard life and that the hateful
and all too familiar expression in his
own eyes had been transferred faith
fully to the optics of a pig on the can
| vas.
The two other men with peculiar
eyes who earn a living by sitting to
animal painters are also expatriated
Englishmen. The writer met both in
Paris In the winter of 1897. One Of
them had dog eyes," while the other
wore the expression Of cat. Both
are well known to Bohemian dwellers
in the Latin quarter In Florence, one
Boutempi got his living by posing to
Matarazzo, the well known animal
painter. Dogs were his specially. He
had their expression, that doglike A.
deity of eye which one admires SO
much in the pictures by Landseer.
! In 1895 there was employed as hall
porter at Oporto a middle-aged indi-
vidual who claimed to have been a
Roman Catholic priest in the early
days of his life. He was in the habit
of sitting on occasions to Senor Joa-
! quine do Costa, a painter Of wild
I animals NJ rather more than local

WELCOMING AMERICAN TARs.
Rousins Reception by People Of Cape
Town to Our Sailors.


There was nothing half-hearted
about the entertainment given the Of
ficers of the United States navy when
the south Atlantic squadron recently
touched at Cape Town. Lieut.. +, B,
Manwaring of the Atlanta has written
some interesting letters telling OF
their experiences. When the squad
ron arrived at Cape Town every boat
for miles around was chartered for
the occasion to give us a hearty well
come, all flying American colors. The
town is all draped with our flags and
the newspapers devote Q page day
to us. Cabs have been assigned each
ship and the name of the ship painted
on the outside. We are lying alongside
dock and drills are suspended. Mon
evening Arizona was played by Fraw-
ley at the Good Hope theatre, in honor
OF the squadron. Tuesday evening box
es were placed at our disposal for
The New Barmaid.' Wednesday af-
ternoon a garden party was given for
us by the American residents at the
Mount Nelson. Thursday there was
a reception on the flagship by the
squadron"
Started on the two weeks trip to
the diamond mines Lieut.. Manwaring
writes another letter from Kimberley.
He says: Having the time of our
lives. The admiral and seventeen Of
ficers as guests Of the De Beers COM
pany left Cape Town Saturday even
ing by special train and arrived here
Monday noon. Since then we have
spent every minute at balls, garden
parties, banquets and looking over the
diamond mines. This entire hotel is
reserved for us, each having a suite Of
rooms. Automobiles are at our dis
posal every minute, as well as the
train, each officer having state room.
We go to johannesburg as the guests
Of Lord Miner. This trip will cost
the De Beers company alone at least
$4,000"
In still another letter he says that
the train consists Of two locomotives,
q baggage car, wine car and three
coaches, and that from all he can find
out the whole of South Africa has
been purchased for the benefit of the
American officers. He says: This
Zip euIPaSSeo any 'hih6 Va 'ho 81
ever enjoyed by human beings. The
chief caterer on the train has been
begging us all day to help him by
drinking more champagne. He says
that unless he can induce us to use
more he will lose his position at the
end of the run" In the conclusion OF
this letter he says that the party had
reached johannesburg and 80 900 peo
pie were out to see the Americans.
