^Columbia State, Jan. 26.?
^^^K^There was a npw move in the t
^^^B^Seminole case yesterday. Mr. ?
I m W. R Stevenson, the attorney of ,
the new board of directors, filed c
f with Mr. J. Frost Walker, clerk j
of court of Richland county^ a .
r bond for $800,000, and this in effect
removes from the custody of c
the receivers the assets of the c
i? cs j ? r
kjviuiuuiv ucvjui lues .
There is yet some red tape to
be gone trhough with. Pour t
day's notice have to be given to ; c
^ the attorneys of the receivers,
f and if shy reply is to be submit- t
j *' ted the matter will be heard be- {
fore Judge R. C. Watts at Ohe- i
raw., Friday. As all legal re- f
' ' qqtyrments have been met, Mr.
' * Stevenson expects that the affairs
of the Seminole company 6
will be turned over to the direc- 0
tors by the end of this week, and J
steps will then be taken to pros- *

would be paid a nominal amount ?

Mr. Stevenson would not talk tl
yesterday about the matter of A

. Southern Life Insurance Company,
of Fayetteville, N. C., to
show cause why that company
should not be caused to leave the
>*. State. The stock of this company
was absorbed in part by the
Seminole company and this
caused the trouble into which
Southern Life found itself
plunged.
Salary of Judges Raised.
Wftahdngton. Jan. 22.?A debate on
the propriety of Increasing salaries
of federal oircutt and district Judges
oonaumed nearly the entire time of
the senate yesterday, with the result
that the compensation of the twentynine
circuit jtidgeB was increased
Tram $7,000 to $6,000, and that of
eighty-four district Judges from $6,000
to $8,000.
Senator Borah, who had offered
~ amendments rodudng the increases
of salary recommended by the committee
on appropriations, declared
that the action oi the senate In Increasing
the ..salary of the president
to $100,000, was in violation of the
spirit of the constitution, and would
never have been taken before cr during
the recent political campaign.

Norton rode up tbe bridle path 1
leading through the Langdon plan- 1
tatlon to the old antebellum home- 1
8Lead which, on a shaded knoll, overlooked
the winding waters of the Pearl
river. No finer prospect was to be had 1
In all Mississippi than greeted the eye
from the wide southwest porch, where
on warm evenings the L&ngdons and
their frequent guests gathered to dine
or to watch the golden splendor of the 1
dying sun.
The Langdon family had long been 1
a power in the south. Its sons fought]
under Andrew Jackson at New Or- '
leans, under Zachary Taylor in the 1
war with Mexico, and in the civil war (
men of that name left their blood on ]
the fields of Antietam, Shlloh, the
Wilderness and Gettysburg. But this '
family of fighting men, of unselfish '
patriots, had also marked influence in ;
the ways of peace, as real patriots
should. Generations of Lnngdons hiul '
taken deepest pride In developing the *
hundreds of acres of cotton land, j
whose thousands of four foot rows
planted each April spread open the j
silvery lined bolls In July and August, '
and the rlnened cotton llher nnrp
white beneath the sun, gave from a
distance the picture of an expanse of
driven snow.
The Hon. Charles Nortoa hud reason
for feeling well pleased with the world 1
as he fastened his bay Virginia hunter *
to a convenient post and strodo up the (
steps of the mansion, which was n '
characteristic survivor of the "old '
south," the south of gilded romance
and of gripping tragedy. Now In this (
second year of his first term ns congressman
and a promising member of 1
the younger set of southern lawj'ers, 1
he had just taken active part In se- '
curing the election of Colonel William 1

to the United States senate, though

Is ambition to marry Carolina, the

made her the recipient of many atmtlons.

A complacent gleam shone In Nor>n's
eyes as they swept over the ferle
acres of the plantation. Ha

Suddenly his reverie was inrmpted
by the voice of young Ran>lph

antatlon manager by his father.

For several years I was atllicted

1 was suddenly stricken with
severe pain in my kidneys ard

liable to get up without assisance.
My urine contained a thick

requently day and night. I
ommcnrod taking Foley's Kidney
lemedy, and the pain gradually
ibated and finally ceased and my
irine became normal. I cheerfully
