"LET THE LIGHT BE TURNED ON"
Mr.. M. L. Smith of Glover Urges In
vestieation of Seminole.

To the Editor OF The STATE:
I see there Is to be a meeting of the
stockholders of the Seminole Securities
company in the home city OF this COM
pany on December 29, 1908. l wonder
why the gentlemen calling this meet
ing did not make the date December
19 instead of 90? Is it, a fact that the
majority, or at least a great NUMBER
of the bank certificates fell due on the
21st? Were they afraid. that If the
stockholders met before these certifi-
Gates fell due that they would repudi-
ate the entire transaction with the
Southern Life and perhaps take some
method to stop the payment OF these
certificates?
1t is the duty of every single stock
holder, large or small, to meet In the
home city of this institution on the
29th, not so much with q view OF re-
covering what we have apparently lost,
as this is infiniteSSimal as compared
with what may happen in the future
if we allow a meeting of this KIND TO
go by default simply because we are
liable to wound the feelings of honor
able gentlemen who compose the board
of trustees, and through the use OF
whose names this institution or COM
pany or whatever 1t is was foisted up
on the public, for had it not been for
the names Of the gentlemen composing
the board Of trustees, strangers could
have made no progress whatever in
collecting such a large sum OF money.
At the time l bought my small block
Of stock, in June, a circular was shown
me purpcrting to come from the Hon.
W. A. Clark, stating that he held as
trustee at that time 100000 of the
funds Of this Seminole company.
1t is further reported that the honor
able board of trustees resigned on the
25th day of November, or about that
time. but no notice whatever was sent
to the stockholders nor any reference
made to it in the newspapers in CO.
lumbia until after the deal with the
Southern Life was exposed by papers
outside Of the city containing the home
office of the company; then these trus-
tees said: I'VE wash our hands of any
wrong doing: away with it, do what
We WILL"
To my own knowledge, this stock
was being offered and sold as late as
December and 4, which could not
have been done had 1t been known that
Messrs. Clark, Jones and Bryan had
resigned as trustees, and the agents
selling this stock as late as December
: and were representing to the pur-
chaSerS that they would get divi-
dend in January, and l don't think
they had any reference TO a receivers
dividend, either.
Let the light be turned on and let
the responsibility for deceiving the
people fall where it properly belongs.

THE SPECULATIVE MARKET.

An Associated Press dispatch of last
night from New York, summarizes yes
terday's developments in the specula-
tive cotton market as follows:
The cotton market was nervous to-
day with fluctuations rather narrow and
irregular and the close steady at net
decline Of l to 8 points, near months
being relatively easy. Sales were esti-
mated at 100000 bales.
The market opened steady at un-
changed prices to decline of points
or about as due on cables. The census
report published at the opening show
ed 1882 ,115 bales ginned to December
18th or just about the expected figures
and seemed TO be attracting no fresh
interest for over the holidays. There
was some Wall street bull support right
after the call and the active months
sold a shade over Saturdays closing
prices. but Offerings increased on the
advance Notwithstanding the compare
lively light estimates for tOmOrrOw's
receipts, and the market during the af-
ternoon sold off to a net loss of to
s points. Business seemed to be most
ly in the way Of evening up for over the
first of the year and during the late
session trading was very quiet with
prices rallying slightly from the low
point on covering.
Southern spot markets officially re-
ported We're generally unchanged to
lie lower. 1t is predicted that the To-
cal warehouse stock will be up to 200,-
600 bales by the first Of January.

Columbia, December 10: The su-
preme court today filed it's order in the
case Of w. r. Jones, refusing bail to
the neutrality-suspicious. and also filed
the formal order dismissing the ap-
peal from Judge Hydrick's order refus-
ing bail to Jones and sustaining Judge
Hydrick In the latter decision Chief
Justice Pope, and Associate Justices
Gary and Jones all concur, but in the
order refusing bail in the motion in
the original jurisdiction Of the court
Chief Justice Pope does not concur
Associate Justice Woods does not sign
either order, being unable to consider
official business by reason of illness in
his family. The result of these orders
is Jones must remain in Jail at Union
until the next term of the court of
general sessions at Union, when the
case in which he is charged with the
murder of his wife will be called
Whether or not the case will then be
tried is of course yet to be determined,
as other motions may be made. The
case is one of the most unusual in the
history Of the state, since Mrs. Jones
is alleged to have died from poison
and the theory Of the defense is that
she committed suicide, because of her
delicate condition. The theory of the
prosecution Is lIldl JbIltS
to her the poison or at least compelled
her to take it, and evidence has been
secured To show that she was not In
the condition claimed by the defense.
Several affldavits were presented during
the hearing for bail to show that Jones
had endeavOred to force his wife into
intimate relations with negro in his
employ. the supposition being that
Jones intended to apprehend the two
in the act and kill both. These and
other features Of the case make 1t one
of the most revolving that has ever
been known in this state. Jones Is a
very wealthy planter living at Santuc,
in Union county, and he was once
student at the South Carolina college.
H. the course Of his argument for Jones
the other day, Col. George Johnstone
declared that the new home of Jones at
Santuc. which had just been finished
when his wife died, Is one of the most
elegantly constructed and furnished
houses he had ever entered In South
Carolina. There Is one child, boy
about 13 years of age, who 1t Is declar-
ed IS now without proper protection
during the incarceration Of the father.
The next term Of court In Union Is
held in February and the case, II tried
at that time will attract wide attention.

YORKVILLE. S. c.:
TUESDAY, DECEMBER %, 1908.

No small interest was occasioned IN
the court house last Friday morning
when it developed that the familiar
railings, that have so long been cut
ting the jury boxes off from the bal
ance of the court room were missing.
Inquiry disclosed the fact that the
ratings were removed by order OF
Judge Hydrick. The boxes were
hardly large enough TO accommodate
twelve men. That is fact that is
appreciated by almost every man who
has ever sat on the jury. 1t has been
noticed from time to time. especially IN
long drawn out cases. that the jurymen
have found it difficult to remain In
their chairs, and those in the front
rows could hardly keep their feet on
the railing. Several times Judge Hy-
drick had been noticed to gently wave
his hand at jurors with their feet
over the railing, and the invariable
result was the taking Of the feet down.
But his honor could see that the place
was cruelty cramped, and that is why
he ordered the railing removed. Here
tofore the jurymen have been sitting
in three rows. four men in row.
Hereafter they will probably sit in four
rows three men to the row. This Will
throw all the jurors closer to the wit
ness stand, so they can hear better
and enable all to be more comfortable
