HREE C( SEMINOLE CASE HAS NEW TURN DIRECTORS HAYE FILED [ BOND FOR $300,000. t TARE IT FROM THE RE-; | GEIVERS : I IT IS SAID THAT PROSECUTIONS e WILL BE COMMEflCtB JUST !g AS SOUR AS THE THAWS PER I? MADE. u n i v There was a new move in the Semn inole case on Monday. Mr. W. F. n Stevenson, the attorney of the new H board of directors, filed with Mr. J. h Frost Walker, clerk of court of v Richland county, a bond for $300,- a ; 000, and this in effect removes from 1 the custody of the receivers the as- fi sets of the Seminole Securities com- p pany. a There is yet some red tape to be r< gone through with. Four days' no- tl tice have to be given to the attorn- G eys of the receivers, and if any re- j ply is to be submitted the matter j| will be heard before Judge R. C. I Watts at Cheraw Friday. As all , j legal requirements have been met.; Mr. Stevenson expects that the af- I ifairs of the Seminole company will ^ be turned over to the directors by the end of this week, and steps will then be taken to prosecute those who have "grafted" upon the confiding subscribers to stock. d | The directors of the company of ^ today were elected at a in ; rr et-1 | L - aa ?-? ? 4- a V* 1 /"I \ % nl -?
