AFTER HIS SCALP. Angry holders of alleged policies in the alleged United Mutual Insurance company, are anxious to get the clutches of the law on Mr. John *3. Neely, the alleged agent of the alleged company. During the past two weeks there has been talk of dozens of warrants and at least one has been issued, on an affidavit charging Mr. Neely witn obtaining money under false pretenses; but the reporter has no Information up to this time that it has been served. Mr. Neely came to Yorkville several months ago representing himself to be the agent of the "United Mutual Life Insurance Company of South Carolina," which he glowingly described as a most commendable enterprise established on the small admission and easy assessment plan and backed by $13,000,000 fcf capital. He located the general headquarters of the concern in New York, and gave the name of "Geo. R. Oulights" as president, and "Seth J. Barmley" as secretary. The general plan of the company was to require each member to pay a small initiation fee, and to agree to pay a specified assessment on the death of a member. In addition to mis, mere stipulated a nominal amount for annual dues and that was all there was to it. Being a smooth and persuasive talker, Mr. Neely had but little difficulty in securing a large number of members. Before he had been operating two months, he gave out that he had issued some 300 or more policies, and finally, a month or two back, he had his figures up to 600 or 700. Just how many policies he really had cannot be definitely i established just at this time, for there is no definite information on the sub- ! ject beyond what he himself told members and prospective patrons. There i is no doubt about the fact, however. ' that up to February last, and for at , least a month or two thereafter, Mr. i Neely wrote numerous policies and 1 collected many premiums. j But in February there developed an i incident that has been attended with not a little trouble for the enterprising 1 insurance man. About that time Mr. , James G. Duncan, of Yorkville, died, 1 leaving a policy for $1,000 in the "United ' Mutual Life Insurance Company of South Carolina," and the beneficiaries, i the parents of the deceased, called upon < Mr. Neely for their money. Just what 1 occurred on the occasion of their de- ] monri anri thf? storv of their subse quent efforts to secure the amount due 5 them, is not a matter of accurate record; but it is a fact that they finally became so discouraged over the probability of being able to collect the money on their own account that they turned their claim over to J. S. Brice, Esq. After this the situation began to grow more interesting. "I called upon Mr. Neely," said Mr. Brice, "and told him my business. . He said 'yes, yes, that is all right; just bring me a certificate of death | from the attending physician, and I , will pay the amount in full.' I asked ? him if the certificate of the attending j physician was all the proof of death he . wanted, and he said yes. I got the cer- , .ti fit-ate and sent for Mr. Neely to come to me. When I again made demand for ] the money, lie said he had forgotten, in ' the first instance, but that he must ' also have a certificate of the under- I taker. I got that, 'and gave it to him. < After a few days more of delay, he 1 said that all that would now be necessary would be a certificate from Mr. ] Duncan's parents, showing that I was < duly authorized to receive and receipt < for the money and I showed him th^t. Then he began to try to make it appear t that Duncan had not paid his initia- i tion fee. and I showed him his own re- 1 ceipt. He explained that the receipt j was given in exchange for a due bill i payable on a certain date, with the < ? * a. JI-~ the 1 unaersianumg men. u. .?v^v , ? . policy would be no good. I asked to see the due bill; but Mr. Neely failed 1 to show It to me. In the same connec- ] tion Mr. Neely claimed that "they" (re- j ferlng to the alleged northern par- t ties) had issued the Duncan policy by 1 mistake?that "they" were not aware J of the failure of the insured to settle the j due bill, etc. Mr. Neely explained i that he had nothing to do with the is- < suing of policies?that the policies come {( from New York. I called his atten- | tion to the fact that the Duncan pol- c icy was mailed to Mr. Duncan through j the Yorkville postoffice, evidently by Mr. Neely, and that the postmark, ( was subsequent to the date of the al- i leged due bill. Then he said that In j that particular instance the policy , might have been mailed to him, and, , if so, he nad mailed it to Mr. Duncan. { In the face of all this, concluded Mr. j Brice, 'there was nothing for me to j do but to sue and sue at once, so I told Mr. Neely that I would not attempt any further negotiations." The complaint that Mr. Brice filed in \ tins case has already been published in ] Tub Enqi'irbr. Up to the time of the j publication, Mr. Neely was still solic- 1 iting members and collecting pre- ] miums. He continued to collect a few ] even after that publication; but not < many. The warning had gone to al- ] most every nook and corner of the < county, and there was no longer any i excuse for any reasonably intelligent j man who would fall into the trap. < In the meantime, policy holders had ] been pretty generally stirred up. ] Those who were directly served by Mr. | Brice with copies of his complaint j were stirred most, of course, and tne . publication in The Enqtirer gave the j balance a definite idea of the actual i situation. Then came Mr. Neely's an- i swer through the paper, containing an ,< attemnt at assurance and an offer to i show his books, etc. About the same j time, the policyholders received another death notice, calling for an as- . sessment to pay the premium of one i F. M. Smith. As the result of these new developments. a committee of policy holders called upon Mr. Neely to see his books i and learn something about the Smith i assessment. He refused to show his books and represented that the Smith policy?the full SI.000?had already been paid from the home office, and that the money received on account of the assessment would be applied to the discharge of the balance of the Duncan claim. Further than this, the committee got no satisfaction, and after a conference it was decided that very likely the "Smith" claim was nothing but a hoax, and it only remained to have Mr. Neely arrested. After due consideration of the matter. no one else being disposed to act Mr. John F. Smith made the necessary affidavit, and a warrant was issued. That was last week. The warrant was not served at once because it was deemed advisable to get the evidence in satisfactory shape, etc. Besides. Mr. Neely was out of town until Sunday. On Tuesday, Mr. Smith was ready to move: but for the time being the warrant was out of reach, and on Tuesday night, Mr. Neely left town. Chief ? of Police Love learned that Neely had gone to Chester and telegraphed to the chief of police and sheriff there to make the arrest. At last accounts he had heard nothing from his telegrams. During Wednesday, Magistrate Plexico, of Bullock's Creek, came up to Yorkville, accompanied by several plaintiffs who were anxious to swear out warrants, and reports from different parts of the county indicate that if Mr. Neely is finally arrested there will be enough counts against him to keep the court busy for a whole term. I.OCAL LACONICS. We Will Send The Enquirer From now until January 1, 1903, for $1.02 in advance. I'enitentinry for i.ne. Abe Parker was tried in Cherokee court last Tuesday, for?the murder of Pink Norman, near Cherokee Falls, some months ago. Parker was without counsel and the court assigned G. W. Speer, of the Cherokee bar, to his defense. After hearing the testimony, arguments of the attorneys and the judge's charge, the jury considered the case for about two hours and returned a verdict of guilty with a recommendation to the mercy of the court. Judge Buchanan sentenced Parker to life imprisonment in the penitentiary. Ilnilrond Accident. Quite a serious accident occurred to the mixed train on the South Carolina and Georgia Extension railroad at Broad river trestle, north of Shelby, Thursday morning. Just as the engine had gotten safely across, the engineer felt the trestle giving away, and opened wide his throttle: but was too late to save the three last box cars and the passenger coach, which went down. The cars escaped the water. Leroy Grigg, of Shelby, was killed, and Edward Turner, conductor, D. W. Phifer, trestlemaster, and Riley Whlsonant, a Negro, were seriously founded. A dozen passengers were more or less shaken up: but so far as is known, none of them were badly hurt. Special Tax Election. The voters of the Hickory Grove school district are going to vote on the question of repealing the special 4-mill tax that they have been paying for sometime past for the maintainance of their school. A petition, signed by a sufficient number of freeholders, to secure the calling of an election, was filed last Thursday. So far as is known there is no bitter feeling on the subject. A number of freeholders, who are opposed to the tax, believe that if they ?an "secure an election, they can have the tax abolished. There are other freeholders and qualified voters gensrally, who do not believe that a majority of the voters is willing to abolish the tax, and so it goes. It is expected that whatever may be the result of the ?Ieetion, the people will continue in a jood humor with each other. Pirict Cotton Bloonm. The first two cotton blooms of the season were received at The Enquirer jfflce on Wednesday morning, they having been sent in. by Mr. N. B. CampDell, of Bethel, while they were still ivhite. According to the messenger ivho brought the blooms, there were lone to be seen in Mr. Campbell's fields previous to Wednesday; but on that horning there were ten or a dozen. The lext bloom was received from Mr. J. ?. Bigger, of Clay Hill, on Thursday ifternoon. An hour or two later, Mr. 3. W. Inman, of Yorkville, handed the eporter three blooms that were plucked from a single stalk in his field on Wednesday. j.ne afternoon mail brought blooms from Messrs. T. H. Simril and I. Frank Plexico. of Clay Hill; from I. M. Nelson, of Gould, plucked on the 17th, and thought to be several days Did at the time: from Bonnie H. Good, ilso of uould, plucked on the 19th. Tried to "Git a Whole Train." Felix Meek, a little Negro, aged 10 or 11 years, was committed to jail last Tuesday, on the charge of attempting to wreck a train on the South Carolina ind Georgia Extension. Not long ago, six or eight railroad spikes were found >n the track at Rock Hill, and Railroad Detective Duncan was sent there to investigate the matter. It was not a ?reat while before he learned that this little pickaninny had, on a previous occasion, received a good whipping for throwing rocks at passing cars, and on being taunted about the whipping, had threaten*^ "Never mind, and Just wait: first thing you know I'm gwinter git me a whole train." After his arrest the boy admitted that he had put the 3pikes on the track and claimed that bis object was the accommodation of the section boss, who might not have btherwise been able to find them.
