And Young Confer and Issue State
ment.

columbia. Dec. 22.-After a careful
and all day consideration OF the Semi
mole Securities Company, Southern
Life Insurance Company embroglio
Commissioner Young, Of North Caro-
lima, and Commissioners McM a.ter de-
termined to issue the following state
ment, which is significant as it follows
the action Of Judge Watts at Cheraw
In postponing the receivership bro.
ceedings:
Neither commissioner has iurisdic-
tion over the Seminole Securities Con.-
pany. Commissioner Young because
1t was never licensed to do business
In his State, Commissioner McMaster
because his powers are limited to in
surance companies But so far as The
interests OF the stockholders of the
Seminole Securities Company are in
volved in the Southern Life Insurance
Company. and generally so far as the
commissioners can see, they will be
best served by the ockholders get
ting together and reorganizing, estab-
fishing a satisfactory and economical
management with power to determine
whether it shall seek to control and
manage the Southern Life, or whether
1t shall dispose. Of its interest in the
Southern Life and organize a casulty
company as first proposed. or other
wise dispose Of its assets.
THE commissioners believe that the
officials Of the Southern Life are dis
posed to act literally ard fairly to-
wards the stockholders Of the Semi
mole Securities Company, and each
commissioner will lend his aid to that
effect"
The commissioners both express the
decided opinion that the policy hold
ers Of the Southern Life are fully and
amply protected, ard as a matter of
fact the company is in greater funds
than before. Regardless Of this, how
ever. Commissioner Young, has in his
possession over 100000 OF funds of
the Southern Life. which deposit rep
resents the reserves on it's policies.
With this company In the hands of the
proper management. both commission
ers believe that it may prove valu-
able property.
Agreement Of action among the
stockholders Of the Seminole Securi-
ties Company would not prevent in
dividual action against any parties,
whom they felt had damaged them.

We have often written and urged
through our paper for farmers to
make their ferms self-sustaining. We
had a belief that it could be done
and now we know that it can be
done easier than to plant all cotton
and have the smoke house and barn
In the west.
One OF our well to do and most pro-
gressive farmers. we hear, planted q
two horse farm this year. rs acres in
cotton, 27 in corn and 20 in oats. He
has gathered from the 62 acre farm,
S5 bales Of cotton, 1000 bushels of
corn, but his oats were rather a fail
ure, he made only so bushels per acre,
but gathered a large quantity Of pea
vine hay of OF Is acres and the other
five acres made him about 20 bushels
Of corn to the acre. In addition to
this he has nice herd Of Jerseys and
a fine lot Of hogs. From thc hogs he
has already sold $50 worth Of pork
and from the cattle pens he makes
compost manure enough that with
500 pounds Of fertilizers to the acre
he made those 35 bales OF cotton on
25 acres. Besides he made 400 BUSH
els Of potatoes and 285 gallons OF
syrup. II this is not making a farm
self-sustaining, We would like to have
something better.
Mr.. T. J. Bell is the farmer we have
reference to and he did not give us
this to brag. but we got 1t over
a grape vine telegraph.
The above from the Leader and
Vindicator, Of Bishopville, is most
gratifying. Mr.. Bell Is q loyal Union
member was examplifies the teach
ings Of the Union in his every day
life. He was delegate to the State
convention about year ago.-Farm-

An unusual incident marked the
first week OF the present session of
congress. In his message President
Roosevelt criticised an amendment, in
corporated last year in the measure
providing for the secret service which
stipulatqd that there should be no
detail from the secret service and no
transfer therefrom. He went on to
say that the chief argument In favor
of the provision was that the con-
gressmen did not themselves wish to
be investigated by secret service men,
and after expressing the belief that
the government should be given means
to prosecute criminals IL found In the
legislative branch. suggested that II
that were not considered desirable "a
special exception could be made In
the law prohibiting the use of the se-
cret service force in investigate
members Of the congress" These ex-
pressions at once attracted the notice
of members Of congress. and as a re-
suit the house Of Representatives on
Friday adopted without dissenting
vote resolution for the appointment
OF special committee to consider the
parts Of the presidents message in
which the expressions above referred
to occur.--Bradstreet. M
