ASK FOR DISSOLUTION.
Stockholders In Cement Company Are
 Dissatisfied.

Marion, July 26.-(Special)-A majority of the stockholders of the Minono Port land Cement company incorporated in Sumter county in 19O6 with a capital stock of s1, ,OO0, 900, of which $S75, 900 is pre- ferred and the balance common stock, have through their attorneys in Marion filed a bill in chancery with Judge Mabry In Selma, asking the dissolution of the incorporation, the refunding to the pre- ferred stockholders the amounts paid on subscription to stock In the bill of com plaint the plea is set forth that the pro- motors and officers who are the same persons in each instance, did purchase for $15,oOO a small acreage in Sumter county; said land was transferred to one person as trustee and he in person re- transferred it to certain officers, who is- sued to themselves the $125,000 of com mon stock It is further charged in the plea set forth that such action was in violation of state law, and therefore fraudulent. The petitioners ask that the common stockholders be debarred from participation in the funds of the com pany beyond the present value of the land, which is said to be about $500
 The death of the defendants at Epps caused the continuance of the case. How ever, efforts are being made by well known attorneys of Montgomery and Selma to stop proceedings by the pur- chase of all stock and interests of the contesting stockholders
 Several thousand dollars were collected from subscribing stockholders on the showing made by the promoters. But no effort was made to carry out the plans of the company, and two years have passed since any effort has been made to collect on unpaid subscriptions. Two of the leading officers of the company hold ing 125,O0O shares of the common stock joined in the plea for dissolution. Sev- eral well known persons of Perry county hold shares of preferred stock, and all join in the plea for dissolution.

 Killed By Lightning, Not Shot
 Much excitement was caused in the neighborhood of Sumter, in the Blue Creek region last night by the finding of a dead negro in cornfield about two miles from Sumter There were no marks on the negro to show how he came by his death, except small confusion on his forehead, and the trouble that has been going on in this region gave rise to the rumor that he had been shot. Coroner Paris was notified and he went to the place early this morning, empan- eled jury and the result of the inquest was the conclusion was reached that the negro had come to his death by being struck or shocked by lightning.
 George Duncan, the dead man, was employed by MT. J. A. Jones and had gone out to new ground to hoe corn. MT Jones upon reaching home about dark last night called Duncan to feed his horse but he could not be found and fearing that something had happened to him MT. Jones together with his father began a search. Not being able to locate him they called on several of their neighbors when the search was con- tinued and about 10 o'clock last night they found his dead body in the "new ground" It was dark and no investiga- tion was made around the spot where he was found, and seeing a wound on the negro's forehead 1t was thought for a time that he had been the victim of foul play When the coroner's jury made investigations this morning, however, they found a dead tree near the body that was hollow and bent over in such way as to be a good place for shelter during a rainstorm, and this tree show ed that it had been struck by lightning near the top, the bolt running down out side until 1t came to the bend, when 1t went inside the hollow ans to the ground The jury came to the conclusion that the negro had sought shelter in this tree, of necessity standing in a stopping po- sition and when the lightning struck it knocked him out, face foremost In falling his head Is supposed to have struck a small tree stump, causing the confusion on his forehead. These are the particulars as stated by parties who were at the inquest.
