CASE AGAIN. that Two Trustes Are to Prosecuted.-Receivers Deny Statement ia, February 11.-Surprise: expressed by at least one of the 'nole receivers today that a tement had been given out to the et that the receivers would prose e Messrs. Wilie Jones and W. A. of this oity, in connection with alleged Seminole transactions. The faots in the ease are these: E. D. Blakeney, an attorney, appear ed before the receivers a few days .go and stated to them that he in- - tended prosecuting the two gentle-,] men named above, and out of cour- i jesy to the receivers only he appeared before them in order to state his pur pose. There was some discussion a.; the matter, it being understood so one of the receivers states, tat the receivers would have nothing to do i with the, matter. The proseention would be brought in the names .of ,o individual stockholders. In order to clarify the matter, even, before the receivers .a, resolu tion was passed to the effect that n4 money would be used from the receiv ers' funds to defray the expenses of this litigation. In fact, it was stren *ously objected to that such funds ba used for the .purpose, and- such a res- I olution is on the minute book. The' reeeivers, however, did grant the use -of the books and other informatioa for those who might wish to prose eate Messrs. Clark and Jones. Senator Huger Sinkler was asked < about the matter to-day, and while i ke expressed great surprise at tho 1 announcement that the receivers 1 would proseeute Messrs. Clark and Jones, and that one member of the veceivership had made a statemsnt, ie did not care to diseuss the matter further for publication. Senator Sinkler is ohe of the re-" 4ceivers for the Seminole Secaritiet i 4ompany. In justice, however, to i the receivers who voted for the res- i lution mentioned above, the state- i eat of fact as to the ooeurrence at 4 ei of the meetings is given. H The latest development of the i -eminole matter is not unexpected, .1 -and that .individual stockholders might prosecute trustees of the comn -pany was thought by some 'to be a logical following up of the recenit prosecution of the company's ofm eials. 'essrs. Clark and Jones were a trustees of the Seminole company, a .whih. companzy went into the hands 4 mtrceivers and proseutions were a instituted, resulting im convietion of - the- president and the treasurer. e: To-night the statement above as .to . the resolution was con.firme'd. Sem- < ator Sinkler, who does not caremto 2 iale the matter up.in the paper, sta-< ted. that hie an,d one- other- receiver, I ~hois in thecity, were both sur- < prised at the statement that the re oeivers would proseente. ~he situation is that certain.stock-1 kolders: in Kershaw "waxed wroth"'. -tthe trustees, and it is thoughtj enkployed counsel to represent them. 1 ~tihe time .the attorney appeared Aefore the receivers it was then not 3 -.td'when the proseeiation, if any, 1 iu]d take place.

For some tim m.y friends ax every section of the State have en encouraging me to run, and af er considering the matter carefully, -have decided to enter the list'.1 While I am not prepared, of course, -at this stage to state in detail what my platform will contain, I have no hesitancy,. as is my habit, in stating elearly my position on some of the) more importanut questions that are ofJ vital interest .to the State and to the people of'the State. "I ,shall advocate equitable sup- I port of our higher educational insti - tations and the fullest and most un stitted support of our common school system with particular attention to* the development of r,ural schools and education. Our public sehool :system. >ur colleges, and is one of the very foundations of our repu;blican insti ,utions. We are now making great mprovements along educational lines .n South Carolina, but the transcend ,Mt importance of this question de- I nands an even greater effort on our aart. "I shall stand for and urge such .egislation as will make for the full .st development of agricultural in lustry of the State, for it is the bed 'ock foundation of all our prosperity. shall stand for vigorous support of il agencies making for the develop nent of agriculture and for such leg slation as will tend to. induce capi ;al to come into the State for the >urpose of developing to the fullest neasure our splendid natural re ;ources. "I shall stand for 'and' advocate state-wide prohibition,. with a strict tnd impartial enforcement of the aw. .I shall stand for retrenchment n the expenditure of the people's noney whenever and wherever it can >e done without impairiig the pub ie service.- I shall stand for a thor )ugh and complete revision and -re' tdjustament of the tax. laws of the 3tate and the inauguration of such a ;ystem of assessments as will make dll property bear its honest and just >roportion of the burden of taxation. "The agricultural lien law, so long l;e hindering cause of lack of agri ultural progress and independence, md the greatest preventive of the >roper contrDl of our negro labor, has L&laIt been repealed. I led the fight !or the farmers and shall urge upoa >ur people the necessity of accept ng the changed conditions just rought about with a determinati'al ipon their part to give the new law L fair trial, and I feel that the ws lom of this legislation will be dem strated. "The building of good and perma ient highways will add moro to tht 'ahe of our property and to the vealth of our State than ous public itility. The effect of good roads hroughoat the State would be felt n every walk of life, but tht would me as an especial blessing and a reat economy to our people who live n the country districts. [ shall tand forf the permanent inprove ient of our highways, such naprove-' cent being ma'de under local self ~overnment in~ the :varji.s counties. "If it should be my good fortune o be selected by the people, of our rond State to be the Governor I hall endeavor, with all the strength t my own command to thoroughly amaliarize myself and keep in con tant touch with the working force ~f all of our pablic institutions and >ranches of the Government, and en-I eavor to so p'ost myself in regard to ur public affairs as to intelligently -econmmend to the law-making power >f the State those things that .'the ublie wealth and needs of ihe hour emand. "I do not care to say any more at his time than this: That every )ubli-spiited, patriotic citken of iur State is anxious for her welfare; Ler prosperity and material edvance ent in all things, and none is more: o than~ myself. In entering the race wish to say now -that I will make he issues clear-cut and to the point, ooking. ever to the substatial ad ranement of our State, and will go efore,the people upon a platforms ,very plank. of which shall stand for he people's interest and the up ilding of our State."
