They arc evidently believers in the old saying about the early bird catching the worm With a good season for strawberries and other crops of that kind-aud good prices for cotton next fall, Horry county will see one of the most prosperous years in her history. There was an item in some of the newspapers last wock stating that the country merchants in some sections^ the country are trying to dissuade the farmers from cutting the acreage of cotton this year and otherwise trying to oppose the efforts being made to cut down the acreage and obtain good priccs|for the crop, if this be true the farmers will be foolish to listen to their talk. Tlieres was never a better time for the farm ers to assert themselves in their own interests than now. Such m opporInnity may never come againCorrection Made Our attention has been called to an error in a notice concerning a death from Adrian last week. Through some mistako tho name was printed as Daniel Carter instead of as Samuel Carroll as it should havo appeared. We are always sorry for mistakes of this kiud but sometimes they will occur iu spite of all of our care. Miss Annie Sudditti's ftcliool Closed.

He went at once and held an iuquost over tho dead body of ' Hall, and the following facts weve , brought out before the jury: About 8 o'clock on last Saturday < night, Henry Simmons in company with another young man by the name of S. O. Jenrette, started down the railroad track from the station at Loris, Simmons carrying a small rifle under his arm: They soon met Johu William Hall the deceased. As Hull saw them he went up to the boys in a playful way and grabbed hold of tho gun. In the tussle which ensued, the rifle went ofT, the ball striking Ilall in tho forehead and lodging in his brain. The negro died without telling his side of tho story, and the only eye witnesses to the alTair were tho white men. A warrant was issued soon after for Simmons and on last Monday he was brought here and lodged in tlie county jail. John William Hall was a negro and said to have been a very quiet on? with no bad record, and it. is believed that it was only in play that he commenced a tussle with the white man. The coroner's jury was as follows: Y. L\ McQueen, E D. Lawsou, It. M. Ilardee, D. W. Hard wick, C. M. Boyd, W. J. Hardee, I). O. Boyd, JR. G. Cox, Sidney Harrelson, E.G. | Gerrald, I). .). 1\ Martin and W. B. i Nee ley. The only eye witness to the killing was S. O. Jenrette, and he testified before the jury as follows: "Me and Henry Simmons started to > Zay Neeley's, come ou down to Mr. Bryant's wood pile, and John William Ball was standing near the wood nil,. w:u: - "U..U ?? Miiaui wi:ii i iu say I something, to Henry Simmons, t?ut! he diil not get the words out of his j inoutb, and Henry Simmons said, "I'll fix you now. '' Hall grubbed | the rifle held by Simmons who had | tho gun under his right arm Hall grabbed the j;uu by the barrel with his left hand, and he gave it a little | jerk or pull Hall fell at the liro of i tho guu. Simmons shook him (Hall); aud said, "Olin, I'll swear he is dead." lloth of us rau together to the corner of P 0. Prince's strawberry patch, he went one way and 1 went tho othor. I went homo and told mother that Simmons had killed Hall. Qucs. Had there been anything said about Hall before? Ans. No. Qucs. What lime was this? Aus. About 8 p. m, Quos. Could you see if Henry made any attempt to get gun from under his arm? Aus. No. The jury after hearing several other witnesses retired and returned the following verdict: "John William Hall came to his death from a rifle bullet while in the hands of Henry Simmons, and John William Hall had hold of the barrel of tho gun." Neither Wrote It. We see that Messrs. "E and P" in j the items from Bayboro referred to ' the County Supervisor's muddle and insinuated that ' Tax Payor ' must have been in tho last campaign for the Supervisor's office and was commenting adversely on account of a case of political "sore-head." Now, as we wero in the race, some might, be led to believe that wo (or one of us) is "Tax Payor " Wo wish to state that wo have ha<l nothing whatever to do or say about it, and don't oven know who "Tax Payor" is.
