From The State.

From The State.
The publication in The State yester-
day with reference to the Seminole
securities company caused a great
deal of talk in Columbia Mr.. ]. Y.
Darlington, president of the company,
was here. having returned from Chat
tanooga, where he is establishing
headquarters for pushing the work in
that territory. The South Carolina
territory is in charge OF Mr.. Chas.
Dunno and Mr.. Darlington divides his
time between the two offices.
Last night Mr.. Darlington stated
that he had had strenuous day, an
swering questions from many interest
ed persons, and he added that every
stockholder had approved his plan to
have thorough investigation. After
conference with local stockholders,
and some from out of the city who
happened to be here, he announced
that several Of the leading stockhold-
ers, had been invited to come here
Saturday. These will be requested to
map out plan Of investigation and
to employ expert accountants. Mr..
Darlington added that he would in
vite The State and the Charleston
News and Courier to send skilled re-
porters with the committee and ac-
countants that the public night be
Informed the minute any irregulari-
ties might appear.
He added that the stock of the Sem
| mole Securities company is worth as
much today as it ever was-and really
more. That instead Of the losses in
| cident to starting an insurance busi-
ness they had been able to buy ar
established business. With reference
to the sale of stock of the Seminole
securities company, he declared that
the directors had employed specialists
in this line Of work, men who were
we'll paid for their talent as well as
their work.

right, the confidence in the two COM
panies will be stronger than ever
or some interest in connection with
the situation is the following letter
conveying the resignation of the trus-
tees, Messrs. w. A. Clark, Willie Jones
and T. S. Bryan.
we have just learned from an au~
thentic source that you and those as
sociated with you received from the
Southern Life Insurance companv y
very large commission, reported to be
in the neighborhood of $4,000. for
carrying through the deal between the
Seminole Securities company and the
southern Life Insurance company.
whereby the former company purchas-
cd Of the latter $150,OOO of the stock.
This stock was purchased. as Won
know, at very high price and we. as
trustees, were informed that the
money would go into the treasury of
the Southern Life Insurance company.
so that the financial standing of that
company would be increased and thus
increase the value OF the stock. II
now appears that this much of il has
been diverted. We regard it a fraud
upon the stockholders of both Of these
companies and a fragrant breach Of
trust on the part of the officers Of
each company connected with this

POLI'S
"CoWBoY AND THE sQUAW. 2

What the New York papers say about 'The Cowboy and the Squaw which appears at Polls on Friday, August 28, matinee and night: The play is a most realistic reproduction of western life and It's scenes are laid in the back hills and plains of Montana, and the sharp lodges, lit- tie hills. water courses, natural to that section of the country, are shown in the scenic effects. The sensational feature of the show is in the third act when genuine novel scene is produced in which an Indian squaw saves her lover from death on the back of a wild steer to which he has been tied by his enemies. The rescue is seen in full view of the audience with the steer and the bronco racing neck to neck. This one effect alone is sufficient to make 1t worth ones while to go and see this show. It differs some what from the usual western melo,. drama in the fact that the gun play is consistent and timely. Incident. ally. every size gun from a big A colt, to a little 22 blank to the No IT are brought into play. Popular prices.

THE EMBASSY BALL"

As was expected, the sheath gown has caused quite a stir among the feminine patrons of the Jacques. Each performance thus far during the week has been crowded with admiring women who give Miss Nordstrom a hearty and enthusiastic reception when she appears in the sheath gown. It is a beautiful and fashtDnable creation. The play this week "The Embassy Ball" is a droll and Amusing comedy and MT Hart. ford gives an intelligent and anus ing interpretation of the slow speak ing dull witted Englishman. MT Hartford's makeup is very amusing and his work this week in difficult role shows the leading mans yer satility. The play is prettily staged. Poli's popular prices.

DUAL PERSONALITY.
Features of a Case Which Resulted
 From q Sandbagging.

]
 An interesting case of alternating personality Is described In recent number of the Journal of the Ameri- can Medical Association. The patient was. su bject to spells of wan dering of which he had no recol- lection in his normal state.
 After one of these he found him. self in London, without having any Idea how he got there, and passing | into another he found himself in q similar plight at the Cape of Good Hope. After that he was free from ! these attacks for three years, when they again returned, though not Of such long duration. -.... In the intervals he complained of more or less headache, which seem- ed to be aggravated when his att tacks came on. The patient was easily hypnotized and then was. able to give an account of his doings | while In his secondary condition, | of which he normally had no recol. lection, and after coming out of the l hypnotic state he had the same tire and exhaustion as he felt after one of his periods of secondary con- :! scfousness. While hypnotized, however, he was amenable to suggestion, which was not the case in his secondary consciousness. The marked resem- blance, however, of his expression. demeanor, etc, in the two condi- tions was noticeable, and Gaver is inclined to suspect that the hypnotic state is closely analogous to the conditions of the Association of the personality in this patient.
 The patient attributes the attack to a sandbagging received in. 1902, but is of neuropathic predisposi- tfon and had previously suffered from nervous symptoms ("tender spine" left sided hyperesthesia)
 following an attack of typhoid fever in 1898, He is still under obser- vation and has had no disturbances of consciousness since November. 1907, but is regarded as only inn proved, the abulia and suggestibility remain, and return of the dis. sociation of personality is consider ed possible. ~

AMERICAS SPONGE INDUSTRY.

| Although. the sponge is a common article of domestic use, there are comparatively few who know any thing of Its growth or of where or how it is procured. There are also few who know that the sponge in- dustry in this. country leads the world in the volume of It's business, the equipment of its vessels, and the intelligence displayed in conducting the work. There is constant de- mand for all of the finer grades of sponge. The variety known as toilet sponge is used in potteries all over the world for imparting that smooth ness of finish to delicate ware that cannot be attained in any other way. Sponges are also used as insulators in electrical machines, and in nany branches of manufacture they ere valued. The latest government re- port of the sponge industry made six years ago. shows that 346,8S9 pounds of the marine growth were pulled and prepared for the market, and that the sale netted to the spongers $364,422, an average of more than $1 pound. .,5.s,s..teta
 Sponging in Key West, and also in Nassau, which is an important center of the British Indies, Is con ducted on shares. The majority of the sponging vessels proprietors are New York men. The proprietor equips the vessels and pays all ex- penses of the expedition, and his share of the catch is one-half or one- third, the remaining portion being shared equally between the men. If the weather Is favorable and the men energetic and skilful, the cruise of from five to eight weeks may net from $50 to. s60 each for the men. Sponging is an arduous occupation, and "hookers" who follow the work the year around are short-lived. It develops enormous strength in the arms and shoulders. In Key West some of the men and boys appear top heavy and to tower above them selves, so pronounced is their shoulder development. - Harriet Quimby in Leslie's Weekly. =.

TURN ON THE CEMENT.
Prophetic Eye of Punch" Sees
 More Than Edisonian Maryels.

More Than Edisonian Marvels.
 Edison's scheme for running ce- ment into moulds and getting a house built while you wait has stimulated London Punch to un. wonted facetiousness.
 Mir Edison's announcement, while paralyzing the building trades, has stimulated activity in other quarters" says the joker.
 The more extravagant party in the London county council talk of laying liquid cement mains in sub- urban London. It would be a great boon, they argue. to the rate payer to be able to turn on the cement, just as nowadays ae turns on the water for the garden hose.
 "If unexpected guests come for whom there is no room in the house. if a fowl house or dog kennel should be required. If the householder has ambitions toward a billiard room. fl porch or conservatory or even a summer house should need to be built. if the roof begins to leak in a storm or las in some cases ft has doneD become restless. If the gar den wall must be raised to keep next door from staring-in 50 dlf- ferent emergencies a rate payer would find an ever ready supply of liquid cement most useful.
 "Ali he would have to do would be to send down to the local from mOnger for the mouids. stick them up and then leave the tap running into them. with perhaps the young est boy to keep an eye on ti. We would like to suggest that the ee- ment tap ought 10 be colorei red. so that it be not confused with the water tap.
