miums received during any specified
premium. Mr.. Alexander was un-
able to say what amount he had re-
ceived as president Of the company,
saying that he received the second
annual premium. the soliciting agent
receiving the hrst. Out of the sec
annual premium he paid all the ex-
penses Of the company, and what
ever was left over went into his own
pocket. The amount of this he did
not know. He paid his brother d. B.
Alexander. who acted as ad1uster.
800 month and expenses and A.
M. Whitlock secretary. SIS a week.
What the other expenses were could
not be determined, as no account was
kept OF them. No cash book or re-
ceipts from assessments nor any ledg-
er was kept, but all assessments were
made on the policy register. From a
memorandum account of annual pre-
miums received 1t was learned that
something more than $1,000 had been
received on account of the Piedmount
since April IS, 1908, to June /, and
from April Is. 1908 to June 2, about
$165 on account Of the Palmetto.
These funds had been received by
Mr.. Alexander, and out of them he\
had paid the salaries named and other
expenses Of conducting the business
of the companies.
A number Of Judgments were of
record In the office of the clerk of
court Spartanburg County against
the Piedmount, and several against
the Palmetto. The commissioner has
information that there are number
of claims against one OF both of
these companies, which have not
yet been reduced to Judgment.
Policy Holders May Intervene.
Upon the result of this examination
Commissioner McMaster served no.
tice on Mr.. Alexander, president of
both companies to show cause before
him On July 6 why the licenses of
both companies should not be revok-
ed. 1t may be that policy holders of
these companies may see fit to inter-
vene before the hearing, and ask the
court for the appointment Of trustees.
With such proceedings as the pol
icy-holders may determine to take
the insurance commissioner has MOTH
ing to do. His only power is when he
thinks that company is not solvent,
or not affording proper protection to
its policy-holders, to serve notice on
IL to show cause why it's license should
not be revoked. He has no power to
take charge Of a company either be-
fore or after such showing, and up
on revocation of the license OF
company unless the politely holders
should intervene and ask for control
by order Of court the same manas gers
would continue in control until tie
affairs Of the company shou,l he
wound up.
The three companies above named
nave been doing q general State busi-
ness until the act passed compelling
c"mpanies doing business in more
thsn two adjoining counties to deposit
a $4,000 bond. Since that act the
Carolina has withdrawn to Spartan

Arcadia with Jockey Dugan to look out
for S. c. Hildreth's interests in yester-
days year old stake at Emeryville,
made the interesting announcement that
he would start tomorrow for New Or

closely. In both of these valuable
events Meelick will be pitted against
the sensationally fast Chapultepec. with
which Burlew & O'Neil expect to win
the two derbys. Hildreth's crack colt
Uncle will be reserved for his valuable
eastern engagements.
Hildreth's failure to make showing
in yesterdays stake was in marked
contrast to the series of triumphs that
his horses have been scoring in the
stake features of the local season of
late. Johnny Coleman placed a s., 600
commission in the Local ring yesterday

Champion Jockeys
Brilliant Riding
Walter Miller Re-establishes
Himself in Esteem of Local
Rdcegoers

Jockey Walter Miller, whose recent
showing in the saddle at Emeryville
bad aroused a great deal of criticism.
redeemed himself in brilliant fashion
yesterday, when he rode three of his
four mounts to well earned victories.
Millers mastery exhibition of accom-
plished horsemanship, when he turned
what looked like certain defeat for Do
rado into one of the most brilliant vic
tories ever achieved on local track,
aroused the spectators to a high pitch
of enthusiasm. The boys shortcomings
of the preceding few days were lost
sight of in the admiration for the skill
he had just displayed.
Although lacking his usual vigilance
at the post, Miller's work in other re-
spects yesterday was full of the dash
and vim that made him the champion
of two American racing seasons. Local
race goers naturally hope that his
showing of yesterday presages a per-
manent return to his best form in the
saddle. Should he continue to ride
throughout the season as well as he
did yesterday it means that he will be
champion of 1908, as we'll as of 1906
and 1907.
