HAS BEEN SUSPENDED. c GOVERNOR SUSPENDED SUPl-KVISOR BOYD. Mr. Boyd says tic lias not Appropriated any of the Public Man cy. Matter not so bad us it appears on its l uce. It was stated in the newspapers of week before last that presentments had been made at the recent term of court against Mr. John L. Boyd, the county Supervisor, and G. Fred Stalvey ICsqr , the former clerk of the board, as to the appropriation of the county funds to private use and conspiracy to defraud the county. When consulted about these matters, Mr Boyd stated that he was not afraid of any of these charges because he had not applied any of tho public funds to his own use and that he was not afraid of the result when left to trial in the court. Tho supervisor has only been suspended from his office and when the matters against him are cleared up and he is tried and found not guilty he will go back into his office, if the .present term shall not have expired. The following is an account of the matter appearing in the State of Sept. 28th. "The grand jury of Horry county have found a true bill against Jno. L Hoyd, county supervisor, on several criminal charges, Gov. Hey ward yesterday suspended the supervisor from his office duties. Several days ago the supervisor sent in his resignation, but the l'ov ornor declined to accept the resignation until the supervisor could make settlement of his affairs. Yesterday the action of the grand jury was commuicated to Gov. Lleyward by the solisitor of the fourth circuit, Mr. J. Monroe Johnson, and the proclamation suspending the official was promulgated at once. The charges against Boyd are very serious indeed, and the clerk of the county b>ard,G Fred Stalvev,is also implicated. There arc three indictments against Boyd and one against Stalvcy. .On all three counts a true bill was rendered by the grand jury. It is claimed that Boyd, with the assistance of Stalvcy obtained by fraudulent means $1,430.83, belonging to the county of Ilorry and used the same for their personal ends. The witnesses named in the indict ment are VV. L. Mishoe, J. P. Durham, D. A. Spivey, J. A. McDermott and J. C. Spivev; Y. M. Martin, N. M. Mishoe and VV. L. Richard son for the prosecution, and VV. A. Dusendury, J. II. Baker, VV. L. ir 1 ri it < u? naiui;u iviiu u. omui:i iui uic defandants. The first count charges that Jno. L. Boyd, on the 5th of July, 1904, "did falsely make, forgo and counterfeit, cause and procure to be falsely made forged and eonterfeitod" and willingly acting and assist in the false making forgiugaiul counterfeiting" a county claim for the service of Y. M. Mar tain as constable for salary for quarter .April 1st to June 30 1904 for $8.65 by adding: "To paid for labor on road $1; to paid on pauper occount $5," thereby raising the claim to $14.75, and by forging the name of W. L* Hardee as county commissioner to the approval of the claim. The second indictment charges that Jno. L Boyd commited a broach of trust in that as suppervisor he had the custody of two mules belonging to the county and had sold them and cover ted the proceeds to his own private use, taking the note of \V. L. Mishoe for $2,50 and depositing the proceeds from the note to his own account. The third count charges that Jno. Tj. Hoyd and G. Fred Stalvey unlawfully, / falsely, fraudulently and corruptly did conspire combine, confederate and agree together by f.alse pretenses to cheat and defraud tho said county out of a large sum of money, to wit: The sum of $1,430 83, by means of certain false and fraudulent paper in the form of and purporting to be warrants, orders and drafts, signed and to be signed by the supervisor and the clerk of tho board of county commissioners. based on no account whatever and in favor of fictitious claimants and to be negotiated and collected by themselves for their own private use and benifit, which large sum of money was collected. | each of them knowing that the ac. counts, warrants, orders and drafts so drawn and negotiated were not legal and valid, but were false and fraudulent to tho great damage of the county of Horry and tho evil example of "'all others in like cases of fending against the peace and dignity of the State."

Lust Monday night unknown parties fired shot, trims into the camps of negro laborers employed by the C. C. & YV. Railroad, about fourteen miles from town some distance about Cool Spring, killing one negro who it seems lingered until next day, seriously wounding another, and painfully wounding several others. The place is said to be just out side of the dead line and among the laborers are a few whites who reside inside of the dead line territory. It is said there was some trouble last, week with some of the white labor, but the negroes were, retained and hence the shooting. It is supposed the dissatisfied whites shot the K.v.imnu tn .1 iiD^iutn tu 11 i^iuun iiium uwiiy4 The shcrilT and coroner went to the ground at once and it was reported in town later that suspicion rested on sevcyal who would doubtless be arrested, but all the testinony had not been taken, Blood hounds were sent after and sent out to the place, but there are no results from them so far as wc are informed. \ SujrjfcM ion. Mr Editor:From what we can gather on the outside, the town council and the committee on internal improvements arc hitched. Why? Because thev cannot agree concerning that $22,000.00 bono issue. The committee say, the people had confidence in our judgment and put us in this position to use this money as we see lit, so you issue the bonds and give us the proceeds that we may drain tho town. The council say, we too have been placed here by the people and will be held responsible for this bond issue for years to come, besides your plan does not meet with the wishe* of the voters. Why? Because the voters say that when this money is all spent in drainage, with about $1,200.00 interest to lie paid annually on the bonds, there will be no revenue derived from the expenditure, as it will requre all the taxes and other revenue raised in the town, for years, to pay the interest on the bonds and at the end of twenty years the principal will remain the same. This is true, as our town would have to grow at an enormous rate before we could issue any more bonds. Unless this matter can be settled one way or the other, we had oest call oil tin; bond issue, for as it is now being handled, it is a disgrace to the town. Why not bury tlie hatchet and call a mass meeting of the citizens and let them settle the question as to how they wish the money spent. For a starter, why not issue the bonds and invest the proceeds in a way both practical and profitable to some Extent at least? Say put $10,000.00 in an electric light plant, which would bring in some revenuo if properly managed, and if municipal ownership should prove unprofitable, as some predict, the plant could be sold to private individuals and the investment would not be a total loss. In connection with this i\t<>r>1 hn'iM o 1 ? " ? U J/IKIIUJ uuiiu (i icii ^v" hydrants on say four corners of MainVlrcet, so ao to have some lire protections in the business part of the town. Then spend from to $5,000 in drainage and the like amount on streets and sidewalks. This would come nearer satisfyinir everybody as it is in lino with what we hear discussed on 1 he streets. How does this trike the Committee, the Council and your readers? Let's hear from them next week and have a social gathering in the Court House and help our bi'uudminded ofticers sc;ttlo the diiliculty of handling $22,000 profitably for the ben elit of tlio citizens of Conway.

The bible says the man deceived by strong drink is not wise. 1 say the man who is not wise is a fool. There are men who are supporters of the dispensary sytem who arc sober, intelligent, upright men.

The dispensaries of South Carolina are responsible for their part of these." 1 hope this can be understood without comment. Again he quoted as follows: "On October 3rd the lines would be drawn in Horry county.

On this side we find God, the home, the churches, our women and children, joy, peace, happiness, and heaven with all of its joys. On the other side of this line you will find the devil with his imps, broken hearts, woo, miscrv, drunkards, the dispensary and hell with all nf its horrors.

Just one year ago today, tire deat h angel visited our happy home circle, and took from our midst, the very idol of our home. Etta was fourteen years, two mougths, and twelve days old, of a I - -1 i ,1! ' origin sunny disposition always looking to tlic bright sick; of things, making friends, and making every one happy with whom she came in company. One knew her hut to love her. Oh, how heart rending it is to stand by the bed-side of those we love so well, and see the loving ties of nature severed by the icy hands of death, but the Lord knew best. lie had called her. All that a physician and loving willing hands could do, could not stay the hand of death. It seems that it is always the sweetest llower that is plucked first but the master only took this flower bud to blossom in heaven yes we are satilicd little Ktta is through -wtth 1 FuTTrlals hud disappointments of this sinful world, and is grouped with ihe angels on the right hand of God. Wo can judge hor reward by the life slio lived hero, such a loving disposition ever ready to speak a cheerful word or lend a helping hand to those in need. One of her greatest pleasures was to visit the sick and aiding them by word or deed. Wo cannot wish you Uack Etta, but oh how sad to he separated for life with only your dear image iusherined in our hearts to remind us of your animated presence. Although, only with us for a period of fourteen short years, she has set an example for those sho has left behind. Truly we can say, A loving one from earth is gone, A voice we loved is stilled, \ place is vacant in our home, Which never can be filled. Her devoted aunt. Catherine King. *< f v !!

She was dearly loved by her Sunday School mates and sisters at home and before she died sho made mention of her Sunday School teacher and called for her little testament which had been given to her by her teacher and said that if Miss Minnie came to soc her sho would recite a verse for her. After dividing her little presents with her little sisters, giving the baby her testament, asked that sho might be carried into the church and Mr. Mc Far land preach her funeral. Calling her parents and brothers and sisters sho bade them irnnrl.hu and said she was going to Heaven. Her last request was complied with as noarly as loved ones could carry it out.
