BAD EXAfi PI ES GIVEN NOTICE Chief of Fo'ice Served Notice on Idie Characters to Leave IS AN OBJECT LESSON Vagrants not Wanted Any Longer in Town of Conway. Authorities Act Conway \v;\* happy when last week it got rid of "undesirable characters. With this taking place it was known that the town would ho rid of several undesirable characters whose presence was not wanted. Two of thorn are Lucy Skipper and Violet IUidzac, the one the wife of young* Skipper, an ex-soldier; the other the alleged wife of a young* man in the United States navy. They claimed to be French, but their appearance indi ? . . ? a ml eaten mat tney were 1101. mh-v came to this country from France, about which there is no douht, but where they were from when they went to France no one can tell, not even perhaps the young husbands who say they married them in France. From six to eight weeks ago they lived in a house which Skipper had rented from W. B. Chestnut. Skipper and his wife were living in Conway when the sister of Mrs. Skipper Violet Budzac, arrived from Ports mouth, Va., showing signs of a con flict with Budzac, having told severa neighbors, it is said, that her husband had beaten her and sent her away. She laid all the blame on the husband who, she said, had returned from a trip on his ship and in a fit of had ness had tore up her bare Iv.ick with a strap of rawhide. Soort there was trouble between Skipper and his wife. They had told him that they had registered at the night school, then in progress, and while they were away of nights and Skipper was working at the plant of the Ward-Bate Company, it was easy to understand that they were away at the classes of the night school. Skipper, it appears, was not .satisfied. One night lie came home from the plant and went to the school to sec if they were there. They were not ;ind ho could not find that they had been there. That night he searched the house and found notes and when the women returned to the house there was a fight in which Skipper got much the worst of it, the women using1 stove wood, it is said, and heating him up until lie showed signs of it for many days. Then they parted and the furniture was sold at public auction. This is about the history in brief until about six weeks ago thev got a room on M ain street by false pretenses, claiming they would renviin but a short time, until they could write to France and get money with which to return to that country. Talk spread and spread. They were talked about at Aynor, I.oris and other distant parts of the county; then as far off as Florence. With all this they failed to realize that their presence was resented and insisted on staying. On Saturday evening, May 0, the chief of police, it is said, obtained proof. A notice was prepared at the Mayor's office and was served on these two, and by it they were required to vacate the premises by the Monday following. On Monday they went to the aui thorities and begged an extension ol \ the until Friday, when they woulc pack up and leave. In small town" like Conway it i> not so easy to ? pnage affairs of thb kind. Authorities are bothered ii getting the proof that is needed, ever though the conduct is openly ag.ainsl order. It is hard to trail down automahile* and this is the way the night police man found it when he was detailed t< get evidence upon which to prosecute The Mayor, and also the polecemeu want to do the right thing rind trea people with equity and justice. It i: y A i L .. better so. It is to their croon uui they looked after this matter as sooi as it could 1)0 done and in a perfectly legal and decent way. When proo was at hand they acted promptly. Let the people rejoice that the; have good men at the head of affair hero who will see that the laws an enforced. Let this incident ho an oh ject lesson to all violators of the law.* and the moral oode as well, tha4 suel people aio hated in Conway and wil iiol 1)0 allowed to lodge there. From now on let's agree that Con way shall he free of .-ill such. It ha been free in the past. Ii shall he ii the future. Corrup'ing influence must not l>e allowed to carry or They must not he allowed to get i foothold. NEARAC(ll)ENT AT BRIDGE A 'man driving a Buick roadste and said to be Joe Sessions came nea having a bad accident on one <>! ill bridges on the roal to Myrtle Head just across the live) Iron here o last Sunday. The man was considerably intox cated and had much moonshine in th car with him, it is said. He did not turn at the bridge bu went straight >n into the supports < the right side, breaking them, an shoving them almost into a deep ditc at the side. The supports did not er tirely give way and kept the car fror going over into the ditch, thus ore venting what might have been a seri ous accident. o Mexico is so quiet. It looks as i she were too good to be true. jfrurfi .tX I J . jj WEEVIL TRAPS WAYS TO BAIT ,y-VV7 '""U Who Ever Saw Weevil Interested in Cotton QrvnrJ TRAP LIGHTS"" DISCARDED 'There is No Proved Remedy Except Dusting* Says Prof A. F. Conradi Clemson College, May IS.?The subject of trapping fhe boll weevil by means of trap lights was exhausted a score of years ago. But the weevil just would not recognize the light, no matter how attractive we would make it. Those who made great claims for traps were generally speaking in sincerity, because weevils of various kinds would tumble into the traps, .and of course "whenever it was a weevil it must be a boll weevil." just as though there were not hundreds of weevils resembling the boll weevil but not related to the boll weevil at all. Among the hundreds of various kinds of insects we would occasionally catch a boll weevil which, during a streak of night dissipation has acciden ally tumbled into the trap. The weevil has not changed its habits, because we are still running trap ights to satisfy the skeptical, and here is no evidence that the weevil >as any intention to cultivate any labit of visiting them. Not one ;ound of seed cotton has been added o the American cotton crop by means of trap lights. Upon such a record low many trap lights will you buy his year? MnW /tAmAn ?? A ?v.. uvit i.uinc.1 .iniRer purporc9(1 to i>e a new discovery tb.it makes .ho liquid poison adhere to tho plant 1 trough all kinds of weather. Wo !o not mean to speak disparagingly of th e sticker and do not claim that his subject has boon exhausted. The :areful, natriotic and trained experimentor is testing tho subject, but is not using li(]uids at this time, as those 'vivo no additional seed cotton to their credit in accurately conducted tests. Upon such a record, how many stickers will you buy in 1922? Then there are tho men with binders. They are convinced that their noisoning substance will kill tho weevil immediately, because of tho mysterious binder that they have added. But there is no evidence yet in accurately conducted tests that those binders have over paid their way to a cottonfield, or that they have a pound of seed cotton to their credit. And who has heard of tho remarkable baits? Wo like sweets, of course; and if we lik e them, why should not the boll weevil like them ? iust as though we and the boll weevils were alike. By this rule, why 1 ho liniwpflv on 1 mimnvo wVipii j wo do not like it ? "Poison Sweet' was boi'n in Texas two dozen years ' airo and since that time had to be perambulated in the w.ake of the ad> vancinii- weevil crying for attention because people who had had expe1 rience with it found it an incorrigible worthless and destructive kid and would not entertain it. Mow many poison sweets will vou entertain ir J 1022? And finally, here comes a fellow with extracts from the cotton planl 1 a marvelous discovery of the century What then are commercial extracts of the cotton plant ?If you want tc call cottonseed oil an extract, wel . and icood, but who ever saw a bol j weevil interested in cotton seed oi any of its by-pro<ructs?

THE HORRY HERALD. COS! RICHMOND MAN LOST HIS LIFE Was Spending Pleasure Trip at Club Below Muilins, S. C. Mullins.?News reached here last week of th? drowning' of R. G. Beeson. traveling salesman for Stephqfi Putney Shoe Company of Richmond. Va.. at Sans Souci club, about (ive mile?; below Mullins. A house party had been arranged by Donnon Gray and Walton Edwards in honor of young Beeson, who usually made Mul in for the weok end. The jvu'ty left Mullins on Friday afternoon. Mr. Beeson and several friends came to town one morning to get their mail and on the return to camp they immediately donned bathing suits and went in bathing. There is a sand bar across the river from the camp house and it was while swimming across the deep .and swift current that Mr. Beeson was seen to go down, lie railed for help one time and Mr. Sod dard, a teacher in the graded school here, and Hub Vaughan, Jr., made all possible haste to reach him, but just before they i?ot in reach the unfortunate young man sank for the last time. Search was made for the body, but it was fully four hours before it was recovered. The spot where it was found was almost identical with that where the body of young1 Carlisle Owen was recovered some six o eight years ago. The water waabout fifteen feet deep. Dr. McMii lan. who examined the body, gave a his opinion that the young men wa seized with cramps. The remain, were turned over to D. L. Cox, ; local undertaker and it will be take to the family at Richmond. Severn of the young men from Mullins will accompany the body. Mr. Bceso. was very popular in Mullins. BOOZE HOUNDS THREE COUNTIES Six stills, GOO gallons of mash, sev oral gallons of whiskey, and four ar rests, are the net results of two days' work through Darlington, Marlboro and Chesterfield counties, as reported by W. C. Eichelbcrger. state prohibition constable. Three of these stills were 60-gallon capacity and the others were snvill ones. This expedition was under the di Taction of Frank Arnold, lenerai 01 ficer, assisted by. J. P. Stacy and the state constable. Up in Chesterfield county, the officers found a small outfit and while feeling good over their luck, suddenly had their exuberance pacified by finding a C?0-gallon still within 20 feet of the small outfit. The big; one was running full capacity and they > watched it run a gallon right there. . They heard the owner making haste , through the swamps, where it was found, to other parts. These moonshine hounds are out after more stills and expect to bring their total up to eight or ton stills. 1 MOTHERS' DAY I5Y METHODISTS Mothers' Day exercises were held j at the Conway Methodist Church last > Sunday.

It's a good sign when agriculture produces food for thought as well as food for the body. It is more important to plant in tho ight sort of land than in the right phase of the moon. For the land's sake, Mr. Farmer, llant velvet beans in your corn. lOvery acre of corn should be an acre of beans. The sweet potatoes which rot in no year would pay for enough potato curing houses to save the entire crop. No, it does not take a witty farmer to outwit the weeds. Frequent shallow cultivation will do tlvit and win aiso save son iikmmuic.
