The sheriff cf Chestei field County came to Conway last week and took away with him, one A. J. Smith, who had been arrested a few days bofore that and placed in the county jail here, charged with drawing a worthless check. The warrant was was sworn out by some concern in the county of Chesterfield, whero Smith had been living before July 4th, 11)13, when ho moved back to this County. The warrant charged that Smith had no funds in the hands of the bank upon which he l ad drawn tho check, contrary to the statute jrakirg ihis a misdtpQcanor.

NOTICE i*. Some time in July I was in the Pee Dee sfctiou working in the interest of the Farmers Warehouse. I calhd on Mr Cap Martin and found bim curing tobacco. 1 advised Mr Martin to cure his tobacco a certain way. He did so, aud after it was cured some one told Mr Martin that he had ruined his tobacco. One of my competitors seemed to enioy telling the farmers that Lawrence (iid not fcuow his business, and olted tho curing of Martin's tQbacco as a basis for argument. J sent Mr. Martin word to bring me his tobacco, and if 1 had caustd him to ruin it, r w. u'.d pay him for same. He made two grades of it and after getting it a'rmst wet he sold one part for 17,75 and the other for $15.00 per hundred. I consider that a fair price for sand lugs, especially after they had been ruined as my competitor tried t} make it appear. LBoys, you had better stop listen-1 ing to ''Gas Bags" and bring your next load of tobacco to Lawrence and get his advice how to cure the remainder of your crop. You will fiivyays g:*t good price* for your to bacoo and you can e? j ?y tf?c peace and prosperity of your neighbor who| sells with rna.

The commission ordered the chungo and it was made, but the railroad company could not run three trains a day each way, and therofore had to cut out the early morning Sunday passenger train botweeu Chadbourn and Myrtle Beach. The matter of running th<? late trains on Saturday nights on to Myrtle Beach from this point and I returning early on Monday mornings, and was then taken up with I the Atlantic Coast Lino Railroad | Company, and last week the rail iI'uu company granted tho request effective last Saturday night. The management of the hotel at Myrtle Beach regards this as being of more benefit to this resort than the early Sunday morning trains. With this schedule people at Florence, Marion, Mullios, Chadbourn, Tabor and Loris, and many other points, will bo able to finish up their business of Saturday night and still catch the late train aud.spend tho night and Sunday at Myrtle Beach.
