Columbia State.
Greenville, May 13.-In a letter to
DR.. c. F. Williams, State health Of
fcer, DR.. C. E. Smith of Greenville,
meat and milk inspector, states that
agents Of Swift & Co. have endeav-
ored to get him to pass the $4,000
pounds of meat recently condemned
here on account of having been sub
merged in filthy water for "a hours.
Dr. Smith absolutely refuses to pass
the condemned meat.
In his letter to DR.. Williams he
says:
"My idea is that they will keep it
until they think it has blown oyer
and then try to put it on our market.
All the representatives Of Swift have
assured me that they are willing to
do just what is right and what I de-
mand. but I can not believe them, as
they have tried every way to get me
to reconsider and pass the meat, and

year 1908.
The claim which comes from Chat
tanooga, county of Shelby, Tennessee,
states that the stock was sold by
agents of the company. The claim is
made in Garlington's affidavit that
the transactions fully appear IN the
papers of company. The claim is
made out in the following form:
"Seminole Securities company, debt
or to John Y. Darlington. To amount
due me from the sale of my stock as
appears from the report Of Charles
H. Highley, auditor, appointed by the
stockholders of the Seminole Securi-
ties company, in December, 1908, to
amount about $4,000" The depo-
nent claims that he has been unable
to collect the amount, although he
has endeavored to do so.
Keeping company with this claim
in the office of Master of Equity Nc
Faddin, of this county, are number
of stock certificates which stockhold-
ers all over the country have been
sending in since the announcement
was made that some settlement with
the stockholders at 20 per cent for
the present might be made. However,
it now appears that no dividend will
be paid ont until after meeting has
been held Of the receivers. What
amount will be paid, if any, is not
known definitely, although the an
nouncement of a few days ago was
to the effect that 20 per cent pay
ment would be made on the par value
of the stock.
In addition to his troubles which
are to come out on the criminal side
Of the court is a suit pending against
Darlington for an amount not less
than $4,000, which the Carolina
agency claims Darlington owes tor
business done while he was manager
of the company. Garlington's lands
in Laurens county were recently at
tached in this proceeding after quite
a hard fought litigation.

GREENVILLE MEAT
MAY CAUSE ARREST
State Health Officer and Attorney
General Hold Conference-Opin-
ion Rendered.
Columbia State. Sunday.


Attorney General Lyon at tie re-
quest of Dr.. c. T. VIII ANS. State
Dca:+h ofi"er u given an Opinion
as to the liability Of Swift 4 Co.,
should that concern decide 20 sell any
of the meat condonGet' ut its Green
vile branch, beca lsa a large amount
of the storage was submerged in un-
clean water for sev,t.al hours, about
ten days ago.
It will be recalled that the health
authorities of Greenville condemned
the meat and it was stated that the
damaged product would be shipped to
Atlanta for use in a soap factory. In
The State Of Friday dispatch from
Greenville said that the health officer
had written DR.. Williams that no at
tempt had been made to ship out the
meat and that Swift & Co. evidently
intended to sell it or dispose of it in
some way in this State. The meat is
now stored in cellar along with
shipments received daily for distribu-
ton, and Mr. Clarence E. Smith, the
health officer, thinks that no action
will be taken on the matter by the
packing company.
Mr.. Smith in his letter to DR.. VIII
liams states that after he found that
the storage room had been damaged
he ordered the Swift people not to
move any of the meat. Later he went
back and found them sending some
Of it out. He was Informed by the
representative that the meat was in
tended for the owners, presumably
the meat dealers Of the city. After a
conference with the city attorney Of
Greenville this was stopped. Later,
the letter says, a Mr. Chandler, sup
posed to be the Southern representa-
tive of the company, called on the
health department and it was decid-
ed to ship the meat to Atlanta for a
soap factory. Still later an expert
Of the packing house arrived and af-
ter examination claimed that the
meat was all right. He then stated
that the meat would not be shipped
out of the State. Mr.. Smith prompt |
ly wrote DR.. Williams as to his rights |
in the case.
Or. Williams, who arrived in the
city yesterday morning from Wash
ington, took the matter up with At
torney General Lyon, who gave an
opinion on the subject. AS it stands
at present, there may be civil pro-
ceedings but in the meantime criminal
prosecutions will probably be the first
steps should any of the meat be sold.
Mr. Lyon in his letter to DR.. Williams
holds that warrants should be issued
at once for the representative Of the |
Swift company and the case brought |
into the court.

END OF STOCKMAN CASE.
Lexington Man Brought to Peniten'
tiary.-Killed His Son-In-Law
In 1906.

Columbia State, 18th.
Samuel W. Stockman Of Lexing-
ton county, who killed Hampton
Hartley, near the residence Of the
former, about two years ago, was
brought to Columbia yesterday to
serve out a sentence of seven years
in the penitentiary for manslaugh-
ter. The case has had two trials in
the circuit court, the first resulting
in mistrial and the second in YER
dict Of manslaughter. The appeal
to the supreme court was dismissed
and accordingly Stockman was
brought to Columbia to serve out his
sentence. It was claimed in the de-
fense that Stockman shot Hartley af-
ter the latter had insulted several
members of the family and had
threatened Stockman. The trials
created considerable interest in Lex
ington.
The decision of the supreme court,
which goes fully into the history Of
the case, will be of general interest.
The decision states that the defen-
dant, S. ". Stockman, at his resi-
dence in Lexington county on Decem-
Der 29, 1906, shot and killed his SON.
in-law, Hampton Hartley. Upon an
indictment Of murder he was tried at
summer term, 1907, general sessions
for Lexington county, Judge Dantz-
ler presiding, convicted Of manslaugh-
ter with recommendation to mercy
and sentenced to seven years I'M
prisonment in the State penitentiary.
The defendant contended that
Hartley entered his home under the
influence of whiskey and was guilty
Of improper conduct toward one of
defendants daughters, "a sister LOT
Hartley's wife, and was rebuked
therefor by defendant and ordered to
leave the house, that thereupon Hart
lev, with a buggy whip, made an at
tack upon defendant and his nephew,
J. ". Taylor, who was visiting at the
house, that Mrs. Stockman got Hart
ley to leave the house, that he went
some distance and started back again
towards the house, meeting Taylor
near the gate ana assaulted Taylor
with whip in left hand and pistol in
right hand, that Hartley, after knock
ing Taylor down, pointed his pistol
at defendant, who was then in the
ward with a shotgun in hand, and
threatened to kill defendant, where
upon defendant shot and killed Hart
lev in defense of his person and habl-
tation.
The theory of the States case
was that whatever may have taken
place in the house. Hartley left it
and went out Of the gate into the
road, that Taylor came out of the
gate and went up to Hartley and they
commenced fighting, Taylor with his
Est and Hartley with buggy whip
held in his right hand, that Hartley
drew no pistol, his pistol BEND found
in his right hip pocket under him
with his overcate buttoned up, that
defendant fired upon Hartley while
he was fighting Taylor. the line of
fire being from the rear at an angle
os about IS degrees, some of the shot
striking Hartley in the right temple,
some striking behind and in front of
the right ear.
The defendant presented 13 excep-
tons to the ruling of the court as
to the admissibility Of certain testl-
mony and eight exceptions to the
charge given the jury. These were
overruled and the sentence Of the
court affirmed.

Denies Attempt to Dispose of Meat.

Denies Attempt to Dispose of Meat.
Greenville, May 15.-At a meeting
of the health authorities this after
noon the district manager for the
Swift concern was present and the
condemned meat situation practically
disposed of. DR.. Smith, the city food
inspector, will tag the meat and al
low it to remain in the warehouse un-
til the packers decide as to what dis
position they will finally make of it.
The disposition of this meat has in
terested not only Greenville people
but has been agitated in a number Of
nearby cities and it will still be inter-
esting to watch further developments
in the matter. The meat is valued at
over $4,000.
In a statement made late today G..
W. Chandler, Swift's district mana
ger, said that he wished to correct
the statement that there was 10000
pounds of the meat, as it now turns
out there was a little less than $4,000
pounds. Mr.. Chandler also says that
they made no effort to sell the con-
demned meat and that the delay in
shipping it to soap factory was oc-
casioned by local causes.
