ECHO FROM OLD SEMINOLE
SECURITIES co. CASE

Columbia, Feb. 25.-Like a ghost
from the world Of forgotten things
the doings Of the one-time well
known John Y. Darlington and the
affairs of the Carolina Agency Co.,
and the Seminole Trust Co., appear
ed in circuit court in Columbia Tues
day morning, when the case of B.
N. Chisolm, of Orangeburg, against
the directors of the Carolina Agency
company was argued before Judge
McIver. The case has been in court
for ten years and involves the alleged
irregularities of the general manager
of the two securities companies,
John Y. Garyington, of Laurens.
The case is one brought by stock
holders of the Carolina Agency Co.,
against Wylie Jones, ". A. Clark
and T. S. Bryan of Columbia, direc-
tors of the agency company, who are
sued as being liable for the shortage
of Darlington. These three Column
bians, it is alleged, were trustees of
the stock of the Carolina company
held by John Y. Darlington, and as
such it is claimed, they are liable for
the shortage under Garlington's
management.
A Judgment was secured against
Darlington for s25,oo0, and of this
Ibis assets amounted to about $4,000
ileaving deficiency of s16,943, it i:
claimed, and this is the amount in
|volved in the suit argued before
Judge McIver Tuesday.
/ The Carolina Agency company wa
organized in Laurens in 1907 ant
within few months its Office wa
opened in Columbia. The capita
stock was s150,0O0, of which amour
Darlington held s75,000 CARING

PLANT AT CAPITOL
LIKELY TO EXPLODE
Committee Wants $4,000 to Heat
Building.
The State 9th.

The joint committee from the two
houses appointed several days ago to
investigate the conditions of the heat
ing plant of the state capitol made
their report last night. In this they
recommended that an appropriation
of $4,000 be made, which fund shall
be expended in the installation Of a
heating plant adequate to heat the
building. The committee empha-
sized that the present plant is in very
bad condition and likely to explode
) at any time. It was also brought out
that sufficient pressure can not be put
on the boilers to heat the entire build
ing because of this condition.
The state electrician recently re-
ported to the general assembly that
the plant was in such condition that
to repair adequately would likely cost
more than a new plant.
The report was made by Senators
/ Duncan and McGhee and Representa-
tives Meares, Carey and Leopard.
Their report follows:
"The joint committee, consisting of
two senators and three representa-
tives, appointed to investigate the
matter of the heating apparatus of
the capitol, respectfully begs leave to
report:
eve have made a thorough inves-
tigation, along with an expert, and
find that the heating plant of the
State House is in bad condition, alb
solutely inadequate to furnish heat
for the building and in such condi-
ton that it is dangerous and liable
at any time to explode, the boilers
being almost worn out, and it being
for the engineer to put
enough pressure to give the required
heat for the building.
eve also find that the sanitary
conditions of the State House are not
only deplorable, but disgrace to so
great a state as South Carolina.
eve, therefore, recommend that
committee Of five members,
two of whom shall be appointed by
the president of the senate and three
by the speaker of the house of repre-
sentatives, be appointed and given
to take charge of installing
a new heating plant for the State
House, sufficient to heat the whole
building; and with further authority
to rearrange the sanitary condition
of the building by changing the
sewerage system, etc.
eve further recommend that the
committee so appointed be given full
authority to contract with and engage
an expert engineer, both as to the
heating apparatus and the sanitary
of the building, and to
contract for the heating plant and
the sanitary conditions, with full
authority to do all that is necessary
in installing said plant, and that the
work for same be commenced as soon
as this committee can organize and
contract for same.
eve further recommend that an
,,,ronr;ot;on of $4,000 be made to
meet the expenses of this work; and
that said committee receive for their
services the sum of SIS per day and
actual expenses while in the actual
discharge of their duties under this
recommendation"

FLORIDA HAS ONLY
DEPOSIT OF GYPSUM
4 SOUTH OF VIRGINIA,
Small Swamp in Central Part With
About 100000 Tons.

The only deposit of gypsum south
OF Virginia and east of Mississippi
River is in a swamp in central Florida.
1t has been known for many years but
remains to-day undeveloped, although
it lies in populous part OF the coun-
try and is several hundred miles from
any other deposit 1t is the soft earthly
variety Of gypsum known as gypsite
and could be used for application to
agricultural land, particularly on pea
nut crops, and also for making wall
plaster, plaster boards, and building
blocks.
Z The deposit is small, the available
quantity probably being not more
than 100000 tons. 1t could be mined
by steam shovel or floating dredge
and delivered to the railroad near
Panasoffkee by 4-mile haul No one,
however has yet undertaken to de-
yeiop this deposit because OF its
small size and its location in swamp
and because the Florida market for
gypsum products is easily supplied by
gypsum producers in Virginia and by
producers in the Atlantic Coast States
using gypsum fro mNova Scotia.
The Florida gypsum deposit Is de-
scribed by r. w. Stone in the chapter
on Gypsum from Mineral Resources
Of the United States for 1918, copy
OF which may be obtained free OF
