i Horry Herald.
Quite a bit of interest has been
created in town and the nearby country
by freakish pictures that have
recently made their appearance on
two or three tombstones in the Favr
Bluff cemetery.
I The tombstones in question are of
snow white marble, on one of them,
erected in 1911 over the grave of a
well known lady, there is the very
\ distinct outlines of a woman's head
1 and hnHv r>?
? J VH HtUC VUVIU^ VT VI V U W
gTave. The most conspicuous feature
is the hair. The facial features are
dim and vague but the hair surrounding-4he
head is as perfect and natural
? as in any photograph.
| It is done up in colonial style and
L with the othfek* features it appears to
> be imbedded in the stone with a thin
A veil of stone covering it and partly
Kblding it from the onlooker. In the
same family plot over a grave of a
brother of the lady who died in 1908,
there is a perfect reproduction of a
addle of the style that is known as
Texas saddle, deep seated and with
' *wiie high horn and flanks common
with this variety. Even thP heavy
?>s?trap8 and heavy leather stirrups are
there. Coincident with the presence
of the saddle on the stone it is interesting
to note that the young man
x. buried in that particular grave was a
bit wild and that he spent sonre time
In the West at the stock yard.
? me ioregoing aispaicn, wnicn appeared
in the New and Observer of
; -Raleigh, North Carolina, having been
i pent into that newspaper by some correspondent
in Fair Bluff, North Caro;
lina caused some interest in Conway
As there is prominent people here
who have deceased relatives at Fair
Bluff.
The Herald has taken steps to
have this matter investigated to
<fir.d out if the likenesses referred to
re actually appearing on these tombBtoncE
in accordance with th0 reports
|& which are now being widely circulat-ed
throughout this section of South
Carolina and throughout the counties
Beof Robeson and Columbus.
f It is stated on good authority by
tE'Persons whose word cannot be doubt-ed
that a similar occurrence has tak;
en plaee and that this is located on
some tombstones in Dillon county,
f somewhere between Dillon and Latta,
South Carolina. The story is told
1 that some' years ago on one of the
r tombstones in a country cemetery
there appeared the head and shoulders
of a lady and an Infant in her
arms above the grave where a lady
bad been buried. This likeness upon
granite was illuminated at first
a great extent and it could be seen
. >r some distance away from the
raveyard. In later years th'.i liker\
np<?3 has become dim but it is there
r sufficiently clear to be seen and appears
to be inlaid within the surface
of the stone so that it would be hard
for any scientist to explain how any
artist could have transferred such a
picture to the stone and especially
to have illuminat<ed it. The Herald
hab had this story concerning the
likeness in Dillon County from one
who has gone and looked at the lik'eneas
on the tombstone and there is
not a doubt but what the drawing
appears thei"e, and while the Herald
informant has to depend upon
stories told by others as to when
this took place and as to the brilliancy
of the illumination referred to
when the phenomenon lirst appeared,
neither can he bell how many years
it has been since the death of the
lady took place nor how long after
tl.at before the likeness appeared.
Of course it is hard to believe that
anything of this kind could happen
in nauire. There is no way whereby
a photograph even can be produced
inlaid as an ornament within the
stone, or so it would appear.
The onlv reasonable exDlnnation of
11 the matter would be that some person
possessed of some secret process
of. transferring pictures into stone,
entered the cemetery and performed
this trick to astonish others and fore\er
kept his secret.
Things do happen in this world
that are hard to explain, but many
of such things have been traced out
to perfectly natural causes and so
r they should have been, and so will
others be in the course of time as
the understanding of man increases
with the help of past experience.

McLAURlN TO DISPENSE PLUMS?
Rumor Has It that G. O. P. Officials
Will Name Him Kind Fairy.
Columbia, April 30?Considerable
interest throughout the state is taken
in the rumor that is now going
the rounds, to the effect that John L.
McL&urin, of Bennettsville, former
Senator, may have something to do
with handing out the political plums
that are hanging on the Republican
tree ripe and ready to fall- Mr.
McLaurin, it is reported, has been
in w&Bningion recently, and it is understood
he has been conferring with
prominent Republicans and administration
leaders, in regard to the situation
in this state.
Some weeks ago it was reported
that Jos. W. Tolbert, of Greenwood
count>, would be dispenser of patronage
and that he had prepared a slate
of officers, and that these would be
appointed at an early date. "Red"
R. Tolbfeft, of Abbeville, was slated
for collector of internal revenue; Ernest
F. Cochran, of Andeason was
slated for the district attorneyship
for the western district; S. L. Leappard,
of Lexington, was slated to be
mavshall for the eastern district, and
other officers were tagged with the
names or certain prominent Kepublicans.
There haB been considerable
comment of 1-ate as to why these ap
pointments have not been made and
today comes the story from Washington
to the effect that Mr. McLaurin
{has been in the capital, and that he
iniay have something to do with the
situation.
It is stated that the administration
does not view with enthusiasm the
deadlock between the two Republican
factions in this state, and that be'
cause of that fact the alternative of
'a prominent Democrat as dispenser
Will probably bo seized. It is stated
in confidential advices from Washington
today that this plan will likely
be put into effect immediately.

TWO LIVES SNUFFED OUT.
Car Huns Into Negro Carrying Steel
Di'ill?Accident Near Newbeny.
] Newberry, April 28. ? John A.
| Payne, white-, and John Gilder, a
negro, were killed at G?m Spring,
; three miles northwest of Newberry,
on the Piedmont highway in an automobile
accident this afternoon. Mr.
Payne was formerly of Whitmire,
but for the past two years lived in
Greenwood. He was 26 years old
aud recently married to Miss Johnson.
of Landford Stantion, Laurens
county. He and his brother in law,
iM H. Cash ion. of Greenwood, were
in a ford couye cn their way toward
Greenwood lrem a baseball game at
Newberry. a* Gum Springs the
Novel Construction company had
just knocked off work for the day.
Gilder, a nog o laborer was coming
| toward Newbr-T} with a steel drill
rod about ten feet long on his shoulder.
Getting out of the way of a
|truck, he stepped right in front of
j tlie. couj>e. The rod went endwise
through the coupe's windshield and
pierced Mr. Payne's eye and entered
his brain, killing him instantly. The
ccupc ran against the negro and
knocked him down and the injuries
he teceived front the car and from
the rod he was carrying caused his
death an hour or so later. The noJgro
was 45 years old.
I Mr. Cashion, whose wife is Mr.
I Payne's sister, was not seriously injured,
but was badly shaken up and
[the shock to his nerves rendered him
'unable to testify this evening. The
inquest was postponed until morning.
The families of Messrs. Payne
land Cashion were notified of the
fagedy and their wives and some
'Greenwood friends came to Newberry
tonight. Mr. Payne's body, by direction
of Sheriff Blense, after being
viewed by the coroner's jury, was
immediately carried to an undertaking
establishment and cared for. The
time of the funeral has not been
fixed.

Fairmont Review.
Mr. J. W. Burns, a prominent farmer
and business man of the Gaddysville
section was a Fairmont business
visitor Saturday.
Mr. Burns says that the farmers
in his section are very enthusiastic
over the proposed extension of the
Maxton Alma A Southbound Railroad
and that they will cooperate with the
projectors to the fullest eextent in
helping to secure the road by Curtis'
store.
This is one of the most up to date
farming sections In Robeson county
and if evter a community needed railroad
facilities it is this section. Curtis'
store is eight miles from any railway
connection and for several years
the farmers and business men of that
section have been handicapped on account
of better facilities to handle
products and there is no limit to the
service that a railroad will afford
them.
That particular section will g*o?
anything that can be grown in thit
part of the state and It is already on?
oi tne oest tobacco growing district;
in the county, and with its natural re
sources this section can be dereloped
. into one of the greatest truck growing
and farming centers In the state
DILIjON BOYS VISIT FLORENCE.
Entertained During the Day by
Chamber of Commerce
The Florence Times of Friday says^
A score of the boys of the argrh jJ
tural classes of the Dillon county puJlie
schools are spending the day in
Florence, where they are going over
various farming activities of this section.
Most of the forenoon was spent
at the Pee Dee Experiment station,
where they studied thb various ways
and means of conducting experiments
and demonstrations. Mr. R. E. Currin,
superintendent, gave them a good

tlie state agricultural farms.
Mr. E. S. Prevost of Clemson College,
bee specialist of the state, also
demonstrated to the boys many interesting
features of the apiarist.
The rest of the morning was spent
seeing crops in the fields, learning
more of practical methods and means
of making farming pay the man who
is producing the natural wealth of
the country today. The Chamber of
Commerce entertained the boys also
during the day with an extensive
sight seeing trip over the city, where
they bad the opportunity of seeing
commercial and industrial development,
learning more of the history of
the locality, and visiting other points
of interest. Mr. J. Ward McLendon,
county agent, piloted the boys
through the city for this purpose.
Members of the party are as foli

teacher, Mr. Ayers, believes that they 1
will grasp and retain much by ac- I
tmally seeking the subject than they 1
ever would get by the school room

Queer Happenings at Fair Hluff.
Dear Old Herald:
This old town is In the throes of
not by any means a desirable position
?that is rather embarrassing, not
only to the good people of the town,
but especially to the relatives of the
lady buried in the cemetery and at
whose grave a beautiful white marble
monument has been erected. The
occult idea seems to prevails omong
ihe hundreds of visitors that throng
this sacred enclosure where rest the
utttu oi in is community and on Sunilays
the crowd reaches hundreds ?
within a radius of fifty miles they
come, horse-foot and dragoons, and
the object of this great influx of visitors
is to view what is claimed to be
a perfect and distinct portrait of a
woman's head and the face clearly defined
on the monument to the lady
there buried.
How long this object has been seen
on the monument no one seems to
know or the iterson who discovered
this wonderful picture.
Wonders around this bailiwick
never cease. One of the prominent
citizens, merchant, farmer and a
grand success in raising n large number
of children and is 111 a fair way
to educate them. He has a cozy home
in town, has a few improved breed
of domestic animals and his poultry
yard is also stocked with up to date
chickens; only the best?no mungroels
or bantoms on his yard. About
a month ago one of his famous Rhode
Island hens hatched out a brood of
young chicks; among them was one
whose head was slightly larger than
the others. When 3 weeks old his
head was crown <vl with n Inrco rr?/1
comb and long gills also with a healihy
appearance. But strangest of all
while y?t. the 1 if tie rooster was still
wearing his hatching nit before even
a pin feather made Its appearance on
wings or elsewhere and while the
old mother hen was diligently
scratching for worms this little rooster
would stand aloof and crow with
all his might and is keeping it up
and far surpassed the old suffragist
hens that wokg up the town some
weeks ago when all the women registered
themselves as free and independent
citizens of these United States
of Messrs. Harding, Lodge, Borah A
Co. Great changes have overtaken the
old town, but this precocious little
rooster Is quite ar* adept hi imitating
the old rooster that ushers in he!
morning with his persistant crowing J
and flopping his wings. His answering
to watch the youngster when he sidles
up to a little chick going through
the motions of stepping on his featherlerBs
wing, then straighten up and
give a defiant crow. Some rooster?
he is attracting great attention as
another of the signs and wonders of
Fair Bluff. Even old Mr. Bass, the
King fisherman says all this hubbub

Marion District Conference HeUl In J
Lntta
??
The Marion District Conference
convened in Latta Methodist church
Tuesday evening, the 26th. At the
opening service the house was about i*
full. Religious services were conduct-^
ed by the Presiding Elder, Rev D. |13
A. Phillips, after which the opening v
sermon was preached by Rev. \V. I. j *
Herbert of the First Methodist ,e
church of Marion. This was a strong.a
sermon and is calculated to do much c
good in our midst, as well as through. a
out the Marion District Conference. c"
At the close of this service the sac- 11
rament of the Lord's Supper was ad- |
ministered, and we were struck by]f;
the great number that partook. ! '
On Wednesday at 11 o'clock, at:'1
the close of the regular business P
meeting, Rev. J. C. Atkinson, pastor , b
of the Methodist church at Conway, P
delivered a very able sermon to a1 u
large congregation. Subjeet: "Paga-je
nisin vs Christianity." This sermon s
is calculated also to open the eyes i
of the members of the Protestant ' i
churches of our land and cause a gen.'t
eral awakening along this line. j1
On Wednesday evening, although a
the weather was very inclement, sev-;i
eral very interesting addresses were t
delivered to a crowded house. The]
addresses of the evening were deliv-;?
ered by the following gentlemen:'i
Messrs. John Clinkscales of the Wof-'i
ford College faculty. J. C. Guilds,;*
President of Columbia College, and <
] Rev. 0. E. Edwards in the interest i
jot the educational drive now being :
'put on by the Southern Methodist]
church. All these speeches were good
to listen to. Rev. A. J. Cauthen also
delivered an address during the conference
but as 1 was not at that ser]vice
and do not know at which serivice
he spoke.
On Thursday the morning hours of
the Conference were taken up in the
'reports of the several committees.
! along with discussions which natural11
y go with such business, after which'
the election of delegates to the An-!
|nual Conference, which meets at St.1
! George, S. C., was taken up. and1
height deb-gates and four alternates!
'were elected, two of which were lad-|
lies from this district. The deliberations
of the conference were conclud-l
j ed with an address by Dr. H. N. Snid- j
or, President of Wofford College, in'
j the interest of thtv eduoat ional drive,
| which was pronounced by many who!
I heard it, to be as good as any, among'
the many addresses that they had j
j heard Dr. Snider make. We do not (
j rt member ever seeing such a larg -;
j attendance at a District Conference.!,

lliKDPATII CHAUTAUQUA iJ
OPENED YESTERDAY.'
.(
l ive Dftys of High-Class FiWeilnin-'
incut Tor Dillon County.
The Redpatli Chautauqua which
opened at Dillon yesterday provides (
a five day program which would do
credit to a city many time? larger ^
than Dillon. In fact, Dillon pets the
samc attractions that po to the larger (
cities and the attractions ar0 put on
by some of the best talent in Amer- : v
lea. ,
The Chautauqua conies under a ,
guarantee from the business men of;
Dillon. They paid a pood price for the'(
five days' entertainment, but the
Chautauqua is in no sense a money- j
r. aking sehenie. It is provided for the
entertainment and instruction of thO|
people, and heretofore, with but one,
{exception, the class of entertainment x
It U 1~U ll...* *1. -
i4?^ ijirvii r<u iiiK'i iiiui tin* Kua:<illiui> ,
had to make lip deficits from year totj
year. ia
The season tickets for adults are ^
$2.76 and $1.38 for children. There ,
art. twelve attractions which cost the ^
adults 25 cents each and the children !j
12 cents each. Either of the 12 at- j
tractions is worth the price of a ticket ,
'and if the attractions were put on in',
single numbers it would be necessary ,
,to charge for each attraction the full ,
|price of one ticket. Th<. Redpath idea, j
which has become popular through-'<
'out the world iti the last few years,
makes it possible to combine the best!,
talent of the nation, and by giving a
a series of entertainments twice daily I
i in a town, thP price is reduced to a 'j
| minimum. The original idea of Mr. i.
I Redpath was not to make money but',,
! to provide wholesome and instruc-lr
Itive entertainment for th0 masses of;.,
the people who were not able to go
to the larger cities each year to en- ^
joy this class of entertainment. He j v
i im? uruugui liifse uiwhi.s ngni lO lHPJr
doors of the people?In other words
he has shifted the great playhouses j|
of the larger cities to the smaller
towns where they are in reach of v
everybody, both rich and poor.
Mr. Redpath himself was an edu- f.
cator and his idea is being carried ?
out by men who are interested in the
educational development of the r
masses. They are in no sense show- j
men. Even the advance agents are
college-bred men of high i<)eals whose'?
purpose in life is not to accumulate.,
wealth, but to scatter broadcast,,.
j i
viiivii^iiuuv ii'o lauu ui hh? ul j
pood cheer and to encourage a spirit ^
of optimism among the masses of the
people.
The Chautauqua gives afternoon
and evening entertainments. The afternoon
entertainments begin at 3:45
o'clock and the evening entertainments
at 8 o'clock. The Chautauqua p
will he tteke five days, ending next 4
Monday night. o

Columbia May 18th.
Columbia, May 2?A meeting of
he South Carolina citizens to considr
road development has boon called
y representatives of various state
ride associations for Wednesday,
lay 18 at noon in Craven Hall. Evry
state wide organization has been
sk?*d to appoint delegates, every
hamber of commerce, every Rotary
nd Kiwanis club and the various
ilies and towns. The call for tho
lecting follows:
The State of South Carolina must
ither take steps to insure the buildp.g
of improved highways or it must
ose its iitace in the procession of proressive
states. With all of our neigh
oring slates either building or pnearing
to build modern highways it
s plain to be seen that our state must
ither k?*ep paec with them or it wilt
utter. l'lie wonderful development
hut always follows in the wake of
inproved highwuys will not only atraet
to our neighboring states cil!;ens
who might otherwise have been
>ttracted to South Carolina but will
tclually rob us of many of our own
itizcns.
North Carolina is preparing to
spend $50,000,000 111 the building o?
mproved highways. Georgia in*. roving
her roads -and Florida, not
:ontent with thfc splendid highways
f which she already boasts, is plannine
to spend more money 011 them
South Carolina instead of going forward
in tin mallei ol road building
is going backward.
Kealizing thfe gravity of the situation
which emit routs us the represeuluthes
of various state-wide associutions
have decided to call a uiase
meeting of the people of South Carolina
to be held in Craven Hall, in the
city of Columbia on Wednesday, May
IS at 110011 to consider the matter
with hope that some plan may be
evolved to remove the terrific handicap
under which our state has been
laboring and which will be felt
strongly in the future unless souieihinir
