SUBSCRIPTION : Que Year, - - - #1.00. ! alwate in advance at t a foal O/Bee at Conway, S. n* S*-oirt-claaa Mat tar. fHURSDAY MAY 14 1Q0.3 The frequency of hail storms and destruction front lightning during the last year or two have been subjects of remark. Some weeks after a stroke of lightning last year bad caused the burning of two livery stables and one dwelling, another, bolt struck a large oak tree, not over fifty feet front the spot where the livery stables caught on lire. It is said that lightning never strikes twice in the same place, but. the say in# was almost falsified in this instance. /Lightning struck trees and telephone wires about town Jso frequently last Summer that it was noticed by everybody. We are un able to explain all this of course. The frequency cf hail storms this Spring has been noticeable, but this likewise is beyond explanation. Wk arc told* that some farmers have taken offense, because certain nrt.foloR in ihi^ nnnm mi tin* tiiliin<*1 of the "no fence" law were not signed by the true names of t he writers of the articles. This arises from lack of understanding the custom of allowing a writer to use an assumed name at the cr.d of his article, provided always that his true name is in the possession of the editor of the paper. This is a time honored priviligc which we do not feel like denying to any one The names of all those who have written communications are in the < office, and we can give them to all who will go to the trouble of calling and making enquiry. We cannot lay down the rule that every one who writes to the paper must sign his true '-name to his article. Of course we think it best for a writer to sigjp his name, but yet this is something that we must leave to the good taste and judgment of the writer himself. ? Gurley Items. Miss Mollig Mishoe of Cool Spring visited here last week. Miss Ruby Meares returned last week from Monroe, N. C , where \ '.he has been spending the winter. /We welcome her with us a^ain. Mr. and Mrs. Haskell Harrelson of Zoan were visiting here recently S. M. Allen has opened up in the mercantile line a^ain, and will be glad to see his friends. The school at this place is pro grossing nicely under the care of M iss Edith Rabon, of Socastee, S. C. P. Port Harrelson Dots, B. F. Skipper went to Georee town last week. James Bryan was here on bus { ness one day last week. We are proud to see souie of th \ people of tiie Gideon section titfhtinr \ the "no fenoo"law. \| One man who has a small farm i \ near Gideon told me he had sold \ about $75 worth of pork from the \ woods and had hisyear's meat then ,\on hand. If the stock law should come could a on horse farmer sell $75 worth of pork? Lets first have the new court house and jail, then help the railroad from Conway to Marion before we vote for the stock law. We feel much interested in a tobacco market at Conway. Now is ihn h mn tn mnl.-n if T.ofc ?i1l >n?>. I ketour tobacco at Conway and build us a market at home the equal of any. The "no fence" law is the last tiling we need. L. Dots From Dulah. Crops are looking very well, considering the cool wind. We hope Summer will be in time W. P. Lee says that he will ship some beans by May 20tb. , ' Mips Veta Holmes of Bruce visited her sister here the latter part of the week. W. P. Booth visited his parents / at Booth last Sunday. He reports ' chat N. J. Booth and G. W. Hardee of that section have some of the finest tobacco he has seen, averaging about the leaves 20 inches in length. We have a letter from V. I). Lee at Sumner, Ga., saying that the report against him that he is in the p ^>?4chain gang" is false. Mr. Lee was ofece a citizen of this place and we are glad to report it as false. There will be a picnic at Good Hope on Saturday June 13th, We expect a large crowd. The Editor is invited by the Sunday School and ? will be .expected to address the auV"H dience on that day. We think the man at Warn pee who wants the "stock law" lives too far from Marion to try to keep in ' line with it and that ho had better not vote for it. . P. B 4 ft From Adrian. Editor Herald.?The citizens of Adrian are going to turn out in full force on election day and cast their ballots against the "no fence' law and bury it so deep it will take it fifty years to wake up and fifty more to rise. In answer to Mr. Spivey's ques tiOu, whether it ought to come or not, 1 will say no. If he wants to pasture his slack 1 have no objec tion. In regard to the Marion people being so wise, 1 think wo have in Horry, just as smart lawyers, doctors, merchants and ministers. 1 would as soon risk their judgment in regard to the law as the .Marion people. There is certainly a wolf in the "no fence" law. 1 atu satislied that ninety l ine per cent of the ministers, lawyers, doctors, mer chants, tax payers and wise men will turn out at the poles on election day and help to kill the wolf. I call on all my ministering broth ron of all denominations, to meet at the polls and lets help our brethren keep the wolf out of the flock If heontirs, our Independent Republic is ruined and poverty and almost starvation will enter the homes of many, where the children now have mi Ik to eat with their bread. Fellow citizens, if vou love your wives and children cast your ballots against the law and let each pro ciuct run this monster wolf from their isidst. Let him not find shelter in 1 lorry county. J. P. Lent.am. lie Wants it. Editor Herald*? If the county rejects l he stock law the poor man is surely hurt. While you are split tin# rails, if you could lie clearing land for corn and potatoes for the hegs and cat tie, you would have an | abundance of milk and moat. Take) a trip to Marion and lioar what the farmers say about it. One writer I said that fivo barbed wires wouldn't turn stock. If so we need law to keep them out of the fields. It is j cheaper to fence the county line! than ten thousand plantations 1 saw where a man paid taxes on -100 acres of land. If every farmer had that quantity of swamp land in the islands we would oppose the stock law. Hut so few of them! If you vote against the farmer, you arc for the farmer holds up the world. II. How km.. Another Opposed to It. Editor Hkram>:? Something has told me to use my influence in every way 1 can against lite "no fence law. 1 shall do all I can against it in Simpson Creek township, where 1 have lived as a merchant. 1 have held down prices and the people have patronized me, while others have tried and failed. So 1 feel that I should do all the good I can to the people. We voted a railroad tax unoti us ! lias it not hurt us? Yes it has hurt this township, as 1 have paid enough tax to buy some two or three barrels of pork. It lias not benefitted any of us, but has cost the taxpayers more or less every year and so will the "no fence" law if you vote it oil the county. We will have to pay taxes for a fence between the sister States, and if it costs as the one between Horn and decreet own did, it will run up to about $50,000. We need this money for our farms. If you vote against your neighbor, you will vote against yourself, A neighbor is one that helps others when they can't help themselves. 1 am willing to help those that can't help themselves and are trying to do right 1 want all readers to con sidcr the law a blow to I lorry county and vote agaist it.

Not Good for Cnttle. l? in to it llKitALi>:--So much being said on the stock la .v question brings back a thought that t amelinto my mind while 1 was returning from Conway on Salesday in February. A short distance from town we saw a drove of about 52 head of cattle, going from this county to Maron where they have the stock law. icstion lilto this occurred to my I ...Hid. If the stock law be such a j good thing, why shouldta Marion I county man come to Horrv to buv cattle? I would answer because they are-more plentiful and-chenpor. Suppose we could see all the money summed up that comes to this county every year for her cattle. It would be large. Hut we believe if the stock law was forced upon us, we would he deprived of the advantages of supplying the demands for our stock. Some six or eight months ago, 1 was a little inclined, by my own sclllsh motives, to believe that the stock law would be beneficial to our county, but after due consideration and having the larger part of our lands uncultivated and well timbered, we believe it would he more detrimental than beneficial to tne gen erality of our people. 1 admit that in some sections timber may he scarce, hut to have the stock law would not alter the case. How could we give our hogs our potato and peanut patches without keeping up our fences as they now stand? It seems to me that to enjoy these T?ri vi hxrou ?rn ivnuld linvo In b/wm I -ft--' ? ~ "vvl' our fences as they now stand and pastures too. Some claim we could control labor better, but we think it would drive it away. Well says one, let it go we can do without it. That is not the point, we want the labor to stay with us, we need it to dig our ditch es, clear our lands and roll our logs. The best that we can estimate there are about thirty in this township who will vote for the law. We be leive the balance will roll up a large majority against it. "C" writing from here may be leive now that we will have the stock law in the near future, but after August 1 think he will beleive another way. W. L. IlKLl* AM V.

Epitou:?I shall have to ask you to spare me a portion of your \alu.\blo space to reply to an aril- ' clo you published in the issue of April lUh, written by "Veteran." Every remark written by him is unjust and deserves the severest criticism, Uut if lie will allow me 1 will say no more than is necessary to clear up matters IJy implication from his remarks men can go to the dispensary where it is now located, get drunk, thereby break the law of the country and not pay the pen ally, and we infer that lie thinks the people of Conway are very unjust in wanting to bring the dispensary to town that they uiav capture the drunkard and force men to pay the line. Let us examine this and usee r tain the mean in# It means that ho is at heart opposed to both the law of God and man. God puts the drunkard and the murderer in the same boat by imposing I the penalty of eternal punishment on both. I Thci. are the lawmakers of our I land unjust in imposing a small line on a man for netting drunk? The trouble lies in men not looking on drunkenness as it is and as God sees it The man who lives and dies a drunkard has committed a worse i crime than the man who deliberate ly killsanother, for lie, as to act only i destroys the physical man for time l while the man who dies a drunkard destroys both the soul and body for all eternity. This brother may de ny thinking that God is unjust in ' he penalty of eternal punishment, but if lie opposes the ^penalty imposed by man which is naught as compared to God's, he necessarily opposes Gods punishment or he is inconsistent with himself. If one is just., the other is just. We know God is just in doing so, then men are. just in imposing a line, and to oppose such a law is to oppose jus- ( lice and that is just what this brother does, so far as his language teaches. In short his principles set forth, declare that he is opposed to anv law lhut docs not meet his approval, let it be the law of man or (loci. lie is correct in assorting that 1 must be after some reform, for it is my heart's desire that men may see matters as (Sod and all thinking people see them, and that they may rise to such high ideas us to do all in their power to carry out both ihe love of God ut.d man as far as it is possible for them to do so. The idea of opposing any law is danger- ; cms. Example:?Not long since 1 was out at night and heard voices some distance away. On approaching 1 found several plotting together for the destruction of the dispensary, and 1 informed them that I would expose them if they did so. Why was this? Simply because , they were opposed to the dispensa I ry law, meaning that they had no regard for any law they did not approve. Meaning that if the principal of this idea was carried out we would have no law for there is no law but what someone objects to, and if one man had the right to de stroy one law every other man would j demand his right to obliterate the law he disapproved, which in substance would mean that each one I thought he had the right to rule su i prcmc. All men should remember I . I... t .......... i : - ' ? - - 1 uuii i vri y i.vw is oruUMlCU Ol lioci for every law is made by tho rulers of a land and they are allowed of God, then in opposing or breaking any law you are opposing God and disobeying His eonimand. ? Proof. Romans lit, 1. Relloct: The idea of destroying the dispensary had its origin in rebelling at the laws of our country, and if carried out the principle would lieen.se every man to destroy anything he disapproved, which would mean that both the life and | property of every man would be in danger of destruction. Again reflect: This brother ob jeets to men being lined for drunkenness? upon the ground that it will take the bread a no meat from his wife and children to pay the penalty which is equivalent to admitting that such men spend their money for whiskey instead of using such funds to supply the wants of their families. If so and he is allowed to go without being lined he will take the money that ho justly owes the government and buy whiskey e nougli to get drunk a dozen times and disgrace his family ar.d perhaps abuse them as often. Do not men often strain at gnats and swallow camels? I could say much more of my brother but as 1 do not like controversy I will close with this if he will allow me, but for fear of being misunderstood I will 3tatc my position. 1. 1 believe that it is the duty of every man to obey and respect every law of his country until he can at the ballot box honestly have it repealed. ii. 1 believe with all mvlinni't the State of South Carolina us n State is a criminal before God for operating the dispensary, but in as much us it is law, it is the duty of every man in the State to do all he can lawfully, us we can't rid ourselves of it. to prevent its doing harm, and the only way I sec to do this is to locate it where all law relating to its operations and rosuits therefrom can bceairied out. Thanking you before hand for granting me space for this writ; 1 am, Sincerely yours, C. Robertson. Blanche Briefs. Crops looking well considering the cool weather.
