Commander Johnson, who was brought here some time ago from Horry county for safe keeping, but whose cell door was not locked, walked out of the cage, and also came near escaping, but was prevented by Policeman Smith, who happened to he passing. All of this happened within a few minutes after Jailer Crawford had walked up town, he, no doubt, thinking thai on. expensive, un breakable (?) steel cages would hold the prisoners until he could return. Every efTort is being made to capture t ae escaped prisoners and they may be landed safely back again in a few days.?The State. Tin* Meeting; at l loyils Editor Herald: Please allow me space in your valuable paper for a few remarks in regard to the meeting that was called some lime ago for Ploytls. The meeting was a complete failure. There were only live <>l us present so we decided to I try and have another meeting last Saturday. 1 thought I would send the call to you to publish, but after thinking the matter over 1 became so thoroughly disgusted at the poo pic beino so careless about the first call 1 decided not to bother you with it. So last Saturday came on and five of us met a^ain, but not the same five. Three of the first five stayed at home and three new ones came in. their stead. Mr. Editor when we take into consideration what the Cotton firowers Association has done for us in the last year, I can't see how the people can be so careless We don't have to wait to s~c if it will boa success, it has proved itself already so, and all I was sorry to see in the treasurer's report in Columbia, Horry was not mentioned as having done anything to help on the k'ood work. Now I am sure there are but few in Horry county who plant more than ten acres of cotton to the mule, but that is no reason why we should not j fin in helping on the ?jood work Neil her is it treating our brother farmers with justice to stand oil and arc 111 i* 111 lllil KL' lliC licrill, JIlUl 11)011 ive coino in and share in the rich spoils of the conquest. I recollect very well when I sold cotton at 1 o i cents per pound, when there was only an eleven bale crop, and it would have been as bad (or worse) this year if it had not oeen for the good work of the Association. I understand there is one man in our township who said last spring he was going to plant more cotton, because everybody else was going to cut and cotton would bring a good price. Now that is unjust and selfish, trying to make money at the expense of other people. Mr Editor, I do hate to be so far | behind other people in any good work. 1 hate to see this thing drop where it is in I lorry county. It is true 1 came from Marion county, but I am now a citizen of Horry, and expect to remain here, and want to do all I can in every way I can to bring this good old county of ours to the front and leave it in much better fix than I found it in when I came here. I say it without any fear of contradiction, that there are some of the best people in Horry that can be found anywhere. I 1 guess I have written too much already and will stop for fear that j this may go to the waste basket. | A. I). Jackson . w. o w. Officers. t The newly elected officers of the !

On last Saturday night the hearts of many school children at Einklea v ere made glad. The large hall was beautifully decorated, and by seven o'clock the large lamp shed forth its ray of light on a beautiful holly tree heavily laden with berries, toys and all manner of fruit. After a few recitations were listened to, came Santa Clans with a smaller tree laden with candies and other presents for the children. After making his address and distributing his prizes, Misses Gillie Watson and M. E. Grainger assisted by Santa Clans plucked the prizes from the large tree to the delight of many. This was followed by quite a number of both old and young men racing for the prettiest girl to promenade with him through both isles of the room forming a circle. The time being live minutes to walk oil' the many nicely dressed cakes that had been arranged for that purpose. One cake was sold to a stranger who refused live dollars for it, and stated that he would take it to his wife in another State to show her what the fair sex in I lorry could do. The amount raised, $12.50, will lie used to purchase a school library. The patrons gave their sanction in favor of a special district levy . Much credit is due Prof. W. A. Prince and Miss Lillio Watson for the hard work they are doing in the school, as well as the ladies who furnished the cakes. Santa Clans. Important I.cxislativc Measures, A petition asking the member > of the Legislature to provide for the erection of a new court house and jail and for the erection of bridges across tin; VVaceamaw and Pee l)ee rivers was being circulated in town this week and was being signed by nearly all to whom it was presented. It is certain that some action will betaken by I lorry s representatives towards this enterprise which the j countv needs so much and which has been so long delayed. The public may expect news from the Legislature in regard to this matter in a short time, for the representatives I of the people cannot disregard the long petition which will be sent to them signed by so many of their constituents* m Painfully Injured.
