GOVERNOR SUSPENDED SUPl-KVISOR
BOYD.
Mr. Boyd says tic lias not Appropriated
any of the Public Man
cy. Matter not so bad us it
appears on its l uce.
It was stated in the newspapers
of week before last that presentments
had been made at the recent
term of court against Mr. John L.
Boyd, the county Supervisor, and
G. Fred Stalvey ICsqr , the former
clerk of the board, as to the appropriation
of the county funds to private
use and conspiracy to defraud
the county.
When consulted about these matters,
Mr Boyd stated that he was
not afraid of any of these charges
because he had not applied any of
tho public funds to his own use and
that he was not afraid of the result
when left to trial in the court.
Tho supervisor has only been suspended
from his office and when the
matters against him are cleared up
and he is tried and found not guilty
he will go back into his office, if the
.present term shall not have expired.
The following is an account of the
matter appearing in the State of
Sept. 28th.
"The grand jury of Horry county
have found a true bill against Jno.
L Hoyd, county supervisor, on
several criminal charges, Gov.
Hey ward yesterday suspended the
supervisor from his office duties.
Several days ago the supervisor
sent in his resignation, but the l'ov
ornor declined to accept the resignation
until the supervisor could make
settlement of his affairs. Yesterday
the action of the grand jury
was commuicated to Gov. Lleyward
by the solisitor of the fourth
circuit, Mr. J. Monroe Johnson, and
the proclamation suspending the
official was promulgated at once.
The charges against Boyd are very
serious indeed, and the clerk of the
county b>ard,G Fred Stalvev,is also
implicated. There arc three indictments
against Boyd and one against
Stalvcy. .On all three counts a true
bill was rendered by the grand jury.
It is claimed that Boyd, with the assistance
of Stalvcy obtained by fraudulent
means $1,430.83, belonging to
the county of Ilorry and used the
same for their personal ends.
The witnesses named in the indict
ment are VV. L. Mishoe, J. P. Durham,
D. A. Spivey, J. A. McDermott
and J. C. Spivev; Y. M. Martin,
N. M. Mishoe and VV. L. Richard
son for the prosecution, and VV. A.
Dusendury, J. II. Baker, VV. L.
ir 1 ri it < u?
naiui;u iviiu u. omui:i iui uic
defandants.
The first count charges that Jno.
L. Boyd, on the 5th of July, 1904,
"did falsely make, forgo and counterfeit,
cause and procure to be falsely
made forged and eonterfeitod" and
willingly acting and assist in the false
making forgiugaiul counterfeiting"
a county claim for the service of Y.
M. Mar tain as constable for salary
for quarter .April 1st to June 30 1904
for $8.65 by adding: "To paid for
labor on road $1; to paid on pauper
occount $5," thereby raising the
claim to $14.75, and by forging the
name of W. L* Hardee as county
commissioner to the approval of the
claim.
The second indictment charges
that Jno. L Boyd commited a
broach of trust in that as suppervisor
he had the custody of two
mules belonging to the county and
had sold them and cover ted the
proceeds to his own private use,
taking the note of \V. L. Mishoe for
$2,50 and depositing the proceeds
from the note to his own account.
The third count charges that Jno.
Tj. Hoyd and G. Fred Stalvey unlawfully,
/ falsely, fraudulently and
corruptly did conspire combine, confederate
and agree together by
f.alse pretenses to cheat and defraud
tho said county out of a large sum
of money, to wit: The sum of
$1,430 83, by means of certain false
and fraudulent paper in the form of
and purporting to be warrants,
orders and drafts, signed and to be
signed by the supervisor and the
clerk of tho board of county commissioners.
based on no account
whatever and in favor of fictitious
claimants and to be negotiated and
collected by themselves for their
own private use and benifit, which
large sum of money was collected.
| each of them knowing that the ac.
counts, warrants, orders and drafts
so drawn and negotiated were not
legal and valid, but were false and
fraudulent to tho great damage of
the county of Horry and tho evil example
of "'all others in like cases of
fending against the peace and dignity
of the State."

Mr Editor:From what we can gather
on the outside, the town council
and the committee on internal improvements
arc hitched. Why? Because
thev cannot agree concerning
that $22,000.00 bono issue. The committee
say, the people had confidence
in our judgment and put us
in this position to use this money as
we see lit, so you issue the bonds
and give us the proceeds that we
may drain tho town.
The council say, we too have been
placed here by the people and will
be held responsible for this bond
issue for years to come, besides your
plan does not meet with the wishe*
of the voters.
Why? Because the voters say
that when this money is all spent
in drainage, with about $1,200.00
interest to lie paid annually on the
bonds, there will be no revenue derived
from the expenditure, as it
will requre all the taxes and other
revenue raised in the town, for
years, to pay the interest on the
bonds and at the end of twenty
years the principal will remain the
same. This is true, as our town
would have to grow at an enormous
rate before we could issue any more
bonds. Unless this matter can be
settled one way or the other, we had
oest call oil tin; bond issue, for as it
is now being handled, it is a disgrace
to the town. Why not bury
tlie hatchet and call a mass meeting
of the citizens and let them settle
the question as to how they wish
the money spent.
For a starter, why not issue the
bonds and invest the proceeds in a
way both practical and profitable to
some Extent at least? Say put
$10,000.00 in an electric light plant,
which would bring in some revenuo
if properly managed, and if municipal
ownership should prove unprofitable,
as some predict, the plant
could be sold to private individuals
and the investment would not be a
total loss. In connection with this

hydrants on say four corners of
MainVlrcet, so ao to have some lire
protections in the business part of
the town.
Then spend from to $5,000
in drainage and the like amount on
streets and sidewalks.
This would come nearer satisfyinir
everybody as it is in lino with what
we hear discussed on 1 he streets.
How does this trike the Committee,
the Council and your readers?

Makes Corrections* in the Report
of his Speech at Cir ecu wood.
Mr Ktlitor: ?I hope .you will give
1110 space to make sonic corrections
as to my speech at (Ireenwood reported
by 44Forecast." 44Forecast"
is a personal friend of mine, and I
would not misrepresent any one intentionally
I hope he will take the
corrections in the right spirit, lie
reported me as saving: 44 lie who
supports the dispensary is not wise,
and ho who is not wise is a fool."
1 did not make that statement,
but here is what I said: 44Wine is
a mocker, strong drink is raging,
and whosoever is deceived thereby
is not wise.?Pro v. 22 1." The bible
says the man deceived by strong
drink is not wise. 1 say the man
who is not wise is a fool.
There are men who are supporters
of the dispensary sytem who arc
sober, intelligent, upright men. I
am far from branding them as a fool,
tllOUCrh I e:innnt i\ 11 i*i m lui f.li 11 itini in I
their stunt).
Again lie quoted nic as saying:
"Two hundred thousand new made
graves, and one hundred thousand
orphan children are some of the
dispensary,"' Here is what I said:
"There are one hundred thousand
deaths and two hundred thousand
orphans made each year, in the United
States as a direct result of the
whiskey trafie. The dispensaries of
South Carolina are responsible for
their part of these." 1 hope this
can be understood without comment.
Again he quoted as follows: "On
October 3rd the lines would be
drawn in Horry county. On one
side said he, there is (lod, purity,
honesty, and ail good peoplo combined,
and on the other was hell,
the devil, liers and gamblers. Which
side will you have on next Tuesday
October 3rd?" A part of that statement
is correct and a part is not.
Please read my statement as made.
Here it is: "On October 3rd a line
will be drawn in our coimty. On
this side we find God, the home,
the churches, our women and children,
joy, peace, happiness, and
heaven with all of its joys. On the
other side of this line you will find
the devil with his imps, broken
hearts, woo, miscrv, drunkards, the
dispensary and hell with all nf its
horrors. Now which side will you
take on next Tuesday a week,"
1 hope these corrections will be
understood, and that "forecast"
will appreciate them.
I am yours for correctness,

In LovIiir Mcuory.
Just one year ago today, tire
deat h angel visited our happy home
circle, and took from our midst, the
very idol of our home.
Etta was fourteen years, two
mougths, and twelve days old, of a

origin sunny disposition always
looking to tlic bright sick; of things,
making friends, and making every
one happy with whom she came in
company.
One knew her hut to love her.
Oh, how heart rending it is to
stand by the bed-side of those we
love so well, and see the loving ties
of nature severed by the icy hands
of death, but the Lord knew best.
lie had called her. All that a
physician and loving willing hands
could do, could not stay the hand of
death.
It seems that it is always the
sweetest llower that is plucked first
but the master only took this flower

are satilicd little Ktta is through

of this sinful world, and is grouped
with ihe angels on the right hand
of God.
Wo can judge hor reward by the
life slio lived hero, such a loving
disposition ever ready to speak a
cheerful word or lend a helping hand
to those in need.
One of her greatest pleasures was
to visit the sick and aiding them by
word or deed.
Wo cannot wish you Uack Etta,
but oh how sad to he separated for
life with only your dear image iusherined
in our hearts to remind us
of your animated presence.
Although, only with us for a period
of fourteen short years, she has
set an example for those sho has
left behind. Truly we can say,
A loving one from earth is gone,
A voice we loved is stilled,

Which never can be filled.

The death angel passed over the

Murdoch on September 12th and
laid his hand upon dear Little Annie,
who was just a little over eleven
years of age and was a very bright
little girl. She was dearly loved by
her Sunday School mates and sisters
at home and before she died sho
made mention of her Sunday School
teacher and called for her little
testament which had been given to
her by her teacher and said that if
Miss Minnie came to soc her sho
would recite a verse for her. After
dividing her little presents with her
little sisters, giving the baby her
testament, asked that sho might be
carried into the church and Mr.
Mc Far land preach her funeral.
Calling her parents and brothers
and sisters sho bade them irnnrl.hu
and said she was going to Heaven.
Her last request was complied with
as noarly as loved ones could carry
it out. We hope to meet her some
day where parting will be no more.
