ARRESTS ARE MADE
IN SElIINOLG CASE
John Y. Darlington Arrested in Chatta-
nooea. Other Warrants Are Out.

John Y. Darlington of Laurens has
been arrested in Chattanooga as q re-
suit of further proceedings in the cele-
brated case of the Seminole Securities
company. Two acquisitions have been
issued in the case by Gov. Ansel-one
against Darlington and the other
against Darlington, j. S. Young and
Nj. J. Jeanes, all being connected IN
some capacity with the concern.
Sheriff Coleman leaves today for
Nashville with the requisition papers.
The case is familiar to the public.

purchase of the Southern Life 1nsur-
ance company the meeting of stock
holders, at which time new directors
were elected; the charges that the
sale of stock was at an exorbltant
price and that Darlington and his as
sociates took a patr of the margins on
the sale of stock, have been published
and created much comment at the
time of the proceedings in the courts.
It was announced when the litiga-
ton ended that criminal proceedings
would tie commenced against CARING
ton and other directors, and the war
rants for the arrests were issued yestr-
day. The charge against Darlington
is obtaining money under false pre-
tences and the charges against Gar
lingtop, Jeanes and Young are breach
es Of trust with intention to defraud.
While Darlington is under arrest,
the others have not yet been served
with the papers, although it is proba-

made that criminal proceedings are

Soon after graduating at Roanoke

Moving to Salem, Va, he temporarily
served several churches.
In 1895 he was called 70 Mt. Zion

time OF his retiring from the Synod
was vice~president Of the CITY Mis-

also vice-president OF the Sunday

In coming to Lexington Mr.. Brown
feels that he is coming among his own
people, and not strangers. He was

and greatly enjoyed meeting our peo-

the quietude and restfulness of the

he came.

Mr.. Nugent turned his back on
Myrick as he resumed his study OF
the Prayer papers. There was
something horribly depressing
about his silent examination of
these documents. He appeared to
be raking them over with ghoulish

The remark was the sort of thing

readily suggest life's little frailties.

with its armory.
He no longer cherished any illu

his cause. His first early suspi
