CASTRO BURNED IN EFFTGY.
His Rule in Venezueia Is Probably
Ended.

Caracas. Venezuela, Monday, Dec

The people of Caracas arose today
against President Castro. An infuri.

swept through the city, wrecking the
property Of his henchmen and closest
friends.
The people rounded up all the stat

from the clubs and other semi-public
buildings and burned them with re-
ioicing on the Plaza Bolivar. Castro's
rule in Venezuela probably is ended.
In spite OF Hollands war-iike ac-

no demonstrations against the Meth

against President Castro and acting
President Gomez.
Further dangerous demonstrations
are anticipated. No official act de-
posing Castro from the presidency of

"(1) A commission should be ap.
pointed to revise the school Code and
submit the same to the General AS
sembly at its next session.
"(2 Our system Of county super.
vision should be improved by making
county boards elective by the people
and the superintendent elective by
county boards.
"(S) There should be State tax OF
State appropriation to raise the pei
capita per child in each county to al
least 81. Weak counties should be
aided first. Such an appropriation
would tend to give us a State school,
system.
"(D The legislature could we'll af.
ford to make an appropriation to aid
rural schools which run for eight
months, and which have eight grades
There should be at least two teachers
and forty-five pupils in such schools
Such action would encourage consoli.
dation and local taxation. Many com.
munities cannot meet the require
ments Of the High School Act.
"(5) The High School Act should be
amended so that small towns can com.
ply with It's requirements, so that the
number Of schools in large counties
may be increased, and so as to give
the tSate high school board more dis
cretion and authority in passing upon
the merits Of each individual case. II
Will be necessary also to increase the
high school appropriation as the de.
mand increases.

come when the legislature should es.

Columbia, Dec. ia receiver for
the Seminole Securities Company has
been applied for by Messrs. Nelson G.
Nelson, Of this city, and Park & Grier,
of Greenwood, representing Mr.. ]. S.
Klugh, OF Coronaca, a brother Of
Judge Klugh, and others. An order
to show cause why the receiver should
not be appointed las been signed by
Judge r. c. Watts, of the 4th circuit,
in the absence Of Judge Ernest Gary,
2f the 9Th circuit, and the officers and
trustees of the Seminole Company are

fering with the assets Of the company :
pending the decision Of this case. The
order is returnable before Judge Watts
ut Cheraw on the 21st of December.
In the complaint filed by Mr.. Klugh
and others, through their attorneys, it
is set forth that the trustees willingly
though not with intention to defraud
lent their names to obtaining SUBJ
scriptions OF stock, upon fraudulent
representations Of the agents; that no
meeting Of the stockholders has been
held, though board of directors has
been elected or appointed; that the
charter has been secured on the allie
CATION that SO per cent Of the $780,
300 capital has been subscribed.
though it is alleged that almost all the
stock was subscribed for after the
charter had been obtained, and that
its outstanding capital is only s165,0oo
instead of 100000; that stock was
sold at so per cent premium on a
comminsion of s3 1-3 per cent, which
was an unlawful commission; that
notes were accepted for stocks, and
these notes discounted for as much as
40 per cent in some cases. The his
