(ilVI:S PUKTIIIiR I ACTS ANO l ltiURES OIN HIS Sll>l:. Replies to Article of Supervisor. Jolin I.. Itoyil Appcariiu in tlic Herald of our Last Weeks Issue. Editor Herald:? In my article which appeared in the Herald of the 17th inst, 1 incidentally threw a few rocks into the Hock of political and otlicial birds. I expected that if in shelling the woods with the hope of bringing the ....... 1 m.'y. . i ?. uai uuliiui in I' UCbS UI1U r igures out with an article over his own name, I should happen to strike one of the birds, lie would futter. Now as Mr. Hoyd undertakes to defend the "Facts and Figures" article, and at the same time denies the authorship of it, he must be the wounded one. He misquotes me when he makes me say the road machinery had been bought and paid for. If your readers will refer to the Herald of the 17th inst., thoy^will see that I said no such thing, although I did have an idea and do yet, that the thing must have been ordered, or it would not have come, and that Mr. Hoyd must have claimed to be the custodian of it, or he would not have taken it otV of the train, and if my information is correct, that he has authorized the use of the thing this week on the road between Conway and Hucksport. It seems that he is still claiming j t<i be its custodian, so Mr. Kditor, I yet have the idea that if II irr> county does not pav lor that m,chine she will pay a big lawyer's fee to get rid of it. We shall see. if the shortage in the Supervis u 's olliee has been paid as he says, it mint have been paid',, and abs >rb d be t ween last MarXh court and the lirst of August, because it was due at court, and the 1st of August, "Facts and Figures" says there is not a dollar in the Treasury for ordinary county purposes. Now, if Mr, Hoyd is correct in stating that the money has been paid, then the stubborn fact remains, that Horry county has absorbed ail the funds for ordinary county purposes as provided by law, and this shortage of over $1400.00 also preuin.io 1 i f ? ? y iuuo tvi i uu l JS l? () I iV Uj^llSt. 1 1)0 public would like to know what for but Mr, Boyd undertakes to <jive us more facts and figures, llesavs: "It is a fact that the last settlement was for fourteen months instead of twelve." So Mr. Boyd by some new discovered business method, has discovered a fiscal year with fourteen months. Now, Mr. Kditor, the Constitution expressly says that the fiscal year, shall run from the 1st of January to the 1st of the next January, but 1 am told by the treasurer that the 1st of June is the time for the annual settlement, but if June is the time required for the annual settlement and the settlement is deferred to the 1st of August, it could not take into consideration any expenditures except those, between June the 1st 1904 and June 1st 1905. So any money rvit'l rvufr l?" ?' vwj wj i iiuuk or UUHM'WISC 111 Juno or July did not. 001110 into tlio August settlomont, but must ooinc in tlie next June settlement. Mr. Boyd presents more of those misterious facts and figures indicating to the public that the groat moral institution cannot and must not, be disputed with as a source of revenue, in answer to which 1 will give some facts and figures. Before the dispensary was ever thought of, from 1880 to 181)0, when the assessed value of property in Horry was about$1,500,000.00. During those ten years, my recollection is that the tax levy for ordinary county purposes averaged about 8 mills and did not exceed 1 mills, but one year in the ten, and now the assessed value of property is about double what it was then, and we have 0 mills tax now on that increased value of property, and yet Mr. Boyd insists that we must add $5,500.00 raised from whiskey to this ever Increasing tax levy in order to meet expenses of county government. I 1 wonder i 1* Mr. Boyd does not hold the pen while the author of "Facts and Figures" moves it. Jeremiah Smith. Conway, S. C., Auir. 28th. '05. ?S. S.

HEARING A I I hMHil) BY LARGE CROWD OI: PEOPLE. I Jolin >V. Blount of Tabor. IN. C-. | Tried Under Ctiarjrc of Breach of Trust With fraudulent Intention. John W. Blount, one of the truck growers of the Tabor section, was tried at Boris last Friday ur.der a charge of breach of trust with fraudulent intention, the warrant sworn out by VV. K. Holt another grower and shipper of truck. After hearing the testimony offered by the State, Magistrate T. J. IVinee dismissed the ease on the ground that the State had failed to make out a ease from I lie r?i?iflene<? 115 m The hearing was attended by quite a number of people, and the question seemed to be of interest to many of the truck growers of that section. The question arose out of tin* following facts, which are published for the information and benefit of all concerned During the strawberry season of this year, both Mr. Holt and Mr. Hlount, had represented limit growers associations, and shipped berries as agents for various growers belonging to t heir respective assoeia lions. It was agreed between Messrs. I toll and Hlount that on days alien neither had sullieient crates to load a car, they would ship toget her, Mr. Hlount consigning the car on one day and Mr. Holt on the next < hi Mavoth the car was consigned by Mr. Hlount containing 102 orates of berries put in by Mr. Ilolt., and it was brought out in tin* testimony that about thelhidanl ilrd days of Mav the cars had been consigned by Mr. Ilolt containing quantities of berries put in bv Mr. Hlount. (>n May f>lh there was no ear, and Mr. Hlount took a bill of lading for the whole ear, and later put in a claim with the railroad co;npan\ and a few weeks ago 1 he claim was paid to him by the railroad or the car t ...

U .I. ... ..I I... 4 1 |n v>|/iv. .<11. nun .iniirn I Hill IM' had also put. in rliiuis covering the berries that had been shipped with him bv Mr. Blount, but that lie had been unable so far to make collections. When Mr llolt applied to Mr. Blount to pay over to him the proceeds of the Id- crates, he refused to pay it to him on the ground that as Mr. Holt had shipped berries for him (Blount,) lie would hold the money he had collected against a settlement whenever lie (Mr. llolt) ( should also make collections, and on the further ground that he hud been advised to so hold the money by the members of his association. The result of the refusal to pay over was followed by the warrant ' charging breach of trust, but as no fraudulent intent was proved, the < ease could not be sent up to court, ft. was a preliminary hearing and the defendant had no opportunity to put up evidence in his own behalf, but it was ascertained as a fact outside of the trial that the money received by Mr. Blount had been do- ( posited in specie by him to lie held in trust for the growers until such , time as a settlement could be made, i The defendant was represented by i II. II. Woodward, lCsq., and the 1 State by B. WolYord Wait, 10s<|. The prosecution lias taken another warrant which will tie heard next week. Broom Corn.

II I* Discussed hy a Ciood Writer ITont Socast?c. Kditor Herald?I feel much disappointed seeing no response from Socastee on tho dispensary question. The question is of such vital importance to both soul and body that everybody should feel interested. Some personal observation of this writer may not be out of place. I have visited a number of stjlls, licensed and illicit. Kverything connected with the business is immorality, ungodliness and filthy lucre in the full sense of the term, the illicit stills are run as circumstances permit, the wife and sons and daughters arc engaged in the lawloss business. It would be too tedious to particularize the schemes resorted to, to prevent detection. Lawlessness of this kind in the making and selling is managed on the principle of stealing which is sure to blast the moral character of anyone so engaged. Now if the voters sup(>ort the sale of this abominable stuff, ao,.nlw,li? i; - . w..v,,.v, .HJUWI, ?i- support iiH! manufacture <if it. Tho majority that advocate tlic dispensary so strongly arc in place to i/lean at the dispen sary crib, tliereforo they have an axe to j/rind, personal interest. Some think that the school fund is to bo considered, when wo consider that so much has to bo paid to ^ot a nicklo for tho school fund, and unclean money when we get it; lets drop the school fund question. It is amazingly strange that some people professing Cjodliness will persist in supporting and abetting the liquor traflic. In the last general election some eanidates tried money and whiskey to run themselves successfully through, bit it failed them. A strong advo?ate for one of those fellows approached me in hi>s behalf, statin*/ that this can delate had already spent over three thousand dollars to secure his election. 11 is money and whiskey failed to elect him, and may he be politically dead. When we see so much corrupt chenies used througn the influence of whiskey and the degrading immoral ungodly effect upon those that use it, it is to the interest of the people of Horry and the Slide to vote it out and keep it out. It can be done by united determined action J. I). Newton. Resolutions on the l>catti of Capl. Stephen I:. Woodbury. Whereas the bond of death has removed from our midst our much esteemed and beloved brother, who departed this life August tltli 1 bOfi at his home in Soeastee aged U7 years S months and three days; therefore he it resolved 1st?That while we deeply mourn our loss and feel that death has caused an empty void in our hearts that will lone remain unfilled, we sorrow not as those who have no hope, and while wo can no more meet him here on earth and have his wise council and earnest prayers, we are sure that our loss is his eternal gain. 2ml?That in the death of our brother our church, Sabbath school, FCpworth League, M issionary Society and Frayer meeting have each sustained an irreparable loss. It was prourbial with us, Cupt. Wood berry will be present to aid and encourage us to be faithful. May his mantle of usefulness ever abide with us, and though he be dead yet speakcth. 3rd?That we tender his bereaved family our deepest sympathy in their great affliction, and commit them to the loving care of our Heavenly Father who is abundantly able to console and comfort. 4th?That these resolutions l>e entered upon the church record, a copy sent to the county papers for publication and one sent to tno family.
