Not Guilty
Editor Horry Herald,
Conway, S. C.:
I wish to state to iny many friends
and relatives in mv native couuty
that the item published in the Florence
Daily Times, dated December
28th, and copied in the Herald, is
misleading and does mo an injustice.
At least three-fourths of that statement
is false. I would solemnly testify
that my store had not been
closed by my creditors or any one
else except by myself. I did it on
my own tree will and accord, as the
time I had the storehouse rented had
expired and it was occupied by M ;
Rosen field the same day I vacated.
My goods where moved in a vacantroom
on the second floor of Mr .1 W
Farmer's store. At that time I
was due the sum of $50 store rent
for fifty days. It was my intention
to ship these goods to the Scate of
Georgia where I was going to open
up my same line of business. After
considering the cost of moving I
got a chance to sell and did sell a
Mil of the same goods to one S W
Williams to the amount of $2t>8 70.
This was paid by Williams in cash
and mortgage to the amount in full.
The attorney for the creditor accepted
it in full settlement and left
me an interest in the mortgage of
&1I1M ...I.:,.I. ntln..../.,, tnnl/ f\ > ?
t civw ?uii_ii iii iui uuy uKj'/m i\J\
collection and delivered to mo the
key to the room where my goods
were stored away. I accepted it and
delivered to S W Williams the
amount. Williams accepted the
goods h ? had paid for. moved them
away and placed them in his store,
and a few davs later Williams became
dissatisfied with his purchase
goes back on the attorney who returns
the mortgage and cash and
accepts the goods. A few days later
- I took tny own goods, against which
there were no claims whatever and
was indicted for it. The second
settlement, was then made and if
there is anything against me in the
South Carolina caurts 1 don't know
anything about it.
Respectfully,
S 15. McNabb.

CONWAY, S. C., THURS
AGAINST FERTILIZER TRUST
THE FARMERS OF HORRY WANT
LECilSLATIVE ACTION
[The following letter, addressed
to Hon. J P Derham by the Secretare
of the Home wood Truck and
Fruit Growers' Association, explains
itself:]
Hon J P Derham,
Columbia, S C.
Dear Sir: I see the fertilizer trust
has again raised the price 0:1 their
goods. This it has done every year
since they have combined and it is
high time this State should call a
halt.
liefore the trust was formed I
could buy in the open market from
the factories and get my acid phos
phate for $7 50 f o b in Charleston,
now it is $12 50 As the State owns
the beds why cannot it build a plant
and make acid phosphate and run it
by convict labor? 1 know a bill
to this effect has been presented and
foi some reason has not passed. I
think you will have the hearty cooperation
of every farmer if you
would again introduced a bill for
uiis purpose, l ho tanners have a
hard enough time to make a living
without beinjj robbed in this manner
to pay dividends on stocks and
bonds.
Senator Tillman does not believe
an vt hi no will be done by the U S
tfovernmer.t and I think the only solution
and the quickest is for the
State to furnish the farmers with
phosphate at a reasonaole price.
There is so much time taken up with
the whiskey question that the interests
of the farmers have been verlooked.
Hoping that you may see your
way to take up this matter at once.
1 be^; to remain,
Yours truly,
ticor^e Dickson.

The Conway Baptist church has
oeen without a pastor since Lie v.
Shinn left in December, but the congregation
has now called Dr. \V. J.
Langston, of Sylvester, (*a. lie
has accepted the call and will lake
up the work on April 1st. lie is a
graduate of Fur man University and
of the Southern Baptist Theological
Seminary, finishing his course in
1884. Since that time he has been a
faitnful worker in the State. lie
was pastor Pendletou street church
for over seven years, during which
time he served on the Board of Trustees
of Furman University and
Greenville Female college, and was
also President of the Board of
Ministerial Education. After his
resignation at Greenville a year ago
he has been doing mission work in
Georgia. The Doctor is an able
man and will be a great help in the

Attention Supervisor
Dear Mr. Editor: 1 would like to
call the attention of the Supervisor
to the condition of the Nichols
bridge. If there is not something
soon done to the bridge it. looks very
much like thee will have to be one
of those free ferries established at
that place as the two bridges on
this side are in bad shape. One of
them cannot be crossed now and if
the water gets up ii will stop all
travel and as this is the only way
we have to get fertilizers, we are
much inconvenienced, besides there
is danger of the county having to
pay damages by reason of the loss
of life and property I hope a word
to the wise is sutlieient.

was the Only Injury.
Last Saturday afternoon, at VVanutnaker,
while Mr J. M. Connerly, a
merchant at that place was sitting
in a chair in the oft ice of his store,
Marvin Uowell walked into the store
and tired his gun point-blank at Mr
Connerly, the powder from the load
burning Mr Connerly's face, but the
shot fortunately missing him.
Uowell walked up very close to
Mr Connerly and asked if he had
any cigarettes to sell Mr Conner
ly replied that be had none, and
Umvell then said. "so it is reported,
I'll shoot vou then," or words to
that etTeet, and he at once drew hi.gwn.
Mr Connerly dodged and this
saved his life, lor brine at close
range it prevented the man from
making accurate aim. Uowell came
ii]) to the store with Jasper Covet,t,
who for some cause has been bit tot
against Mr Connerly, and making
threats it. is said. Covet* remained
at, the door, and when the shot was
lived ran and has not been seen

CompulHory relocation.
Kditor Herald:---Please allow me
space in your paper to express mysolf
on compuUory education and
our needs in education in South Carolina.
I have had sotno experience
in touching, and have tried to train
the young mind how to shoot for
eight years. I have become thorough
ly acquainted with different people
during my life.
1 am in favor of compulsory education
from the fact we need a
thorough change in our system of
education.
First, we need more means to educate
the masses. There has never
been a time in the history of these
thirty-four years of public schools
when ignoiuncc reigned more supreme.
11 i ? sad to say that not
more than iiftv per cent of the people
of South Carolina are in favor of
education, yet thc\ ?v\ 11 tell you
they want their children educated.
Now, if tiii*v favor education, why
don't they practice what they preach
If any one doesn't believe this little
report, just look on the annual reports
of the different schools of the
State and you will see that tho
larger half of the children of the
rural districts have not attended
school more than thirty or forty
days during t he public term of one
hundred days Then talk about education
and say I am in favor of educating
my children? I don't believe
that over L5 per cent of the children
r rurai dustn ts attoiul school 101)
days during the year 11?>\t many
e ig'i? month schools are there in
['<* rural <i1 si'"'Cts? You may try
to soon re an eight months' school
and six out of ten o' the patrons
will put on a face never before seen
by hnmuhita , and put tin ir hand on
their purso and cry out with a p ior
voice, "I ha ve got to work my kids"
iiul t ie consequence is he sends
tin hi six weeks in the winter and
four in the summer. I am longing
for tho time when South Carolina
will l'< llow the exainole of so
inanv other States and if possiblo
be i he last example of all the world
We have the best country in tho
world, as good water, as good people
as good farming advantages,
and could have as good school .system.

and let every teacher go to Columbia
and take the examination any time
during the year before the State
school commissioner. So yon see wo
could run the schools longer and
better, pay the teacher better salaries
and thereby secure better
teachers. J'ay your teachers better

Editor Herald?Will you kindly
allow me space in your paper to
slightly dilTei with Mr. Jones in regard
to a statement made by him in
regards to a recent change in our
mail service
Now, Mr Editor I don't wish to
enter into a controversy with a
learned minister of the gospel, but I
positively assert that for some cause
ne or some otic over his name has
utterly fell short of the truth. He

at a disadvantage to obtain their
mail, whereas I say that not over
twelve are inconvenienced at all,
and none thai are over one and a
half miles from our K. P. D. rente,
while previous to this time many of
us have been guing two and a half
miles, for our mail and no kicking in
it. Wo know a good thing when wo
see it and our R. F. D. is sure a
good thing and we all like it much
better than going to the two or
three miles post office for our mail
at our convenience only to find it
closed and the post master gone.
Grumbling comes from men who
are obliged to cross R F. D. to get
to oflhee. We don't object to the
' Gideon ofiico continued, but think
ministers sh mid ad hear to the truth
