Court Places Custody of Ela
Macklin in
B. J. SESSIONS, GUARDIAN.
There Were Affectin/r Scene* Between
the INine Year Old Child
and Mr and Mrs Robert D- Owen*
With Whom She had Lived Since
Two Year* of Aire.
| Magistrates J. N. Jenrette and
Daniel Grainger held a court at the
court house here last Thursday to
determine the r'ghtful custody of
little Kla Macklin, a child of the
late Melton Macklin of Soeasteo
The proceedings were brought by
Sheriff U. J: Sessions, who was appointed
guardian of the person and
estate of the child in 1903, and the
writ was sued" out against Mr ftobt.
D. Owens in whose family the child
has resided since the death of Melton
Macklm. Mr Sessions was onw o
the executors of the will of Macklin
and it seems he promised the father
in his life time that after his death
he would beet mo guardian for the
^ child. In his will Mr Macklin left a
tract of 3f)0 acres of land and some
nersonal nroDertv 10 the child, and
while the sheriff got posession of the
place soon after his appointment, he
dill not succeed in gel ting the child
until Thursday wheu the court found
in his favor and a warded him its costody.
He had called on Mr and Mrs
Owens inSocastee for the child, the ;
refused to give it up, hence the proceedings.
Mr and Mrs Owens and little Ela
seemed to be very much attached
to each other, especially Mrs Owens.
Both wept during the progress of
the hearing, and the child repeatedly
cried out during court that she would
not stay in Conway. After the decision,
which was in favor of the
guarJian, Mr and Mrs Owens went
to the hotel with the lit tie girl with
the understanding that they would
' take the child to Mr Sessions' residence
in the afternoon. This they
did, and the final scene took place in
front of the sheriff's house. Mrs
Owens held on to the child by main
j, force for a time, but finally had to
} give up. Mr Sessions took the child
? into the house where it was very
- happily playing with his children in
| a few minutis. He had already
^ made arrangements to send the child
3 to t.he oruhanage school in Columhm
I" where she will be educated and trains
ed, and b is there that the profits
st from her estate will be expended
A She will be sent therein a few days.
The child is nearly nine years old
5 and has never been to school a day.
* Mrs and Mrs Owens had the sympathy
of thOhC who heard the ease,
but all agreed that it was the guari
dian's duty to see to the education of
i the child. No one prooably sympathizes
more with them than Mr
Sessions, bims' lf, but then he is a
. man who does not let sympathy info
terfere with the discharge of nis
S duty.
8 Mr Sessions was represented by
* Attorney H. II. Wo?dwtrd. Mr
X Owens did not have an attorney at
jjm the hearing.

(The
Ea^t.-r Sunday.
Easter morning dawned fair hut
there was a h izy atmosphere that
foretold that the clouds wore gathering
and that a ch mge of weather
was near at hand. It was not an
ideal spring dav, but there was just
enough warmth and sunshiue to
make the noonday hour pleasant,
and many took advantage of these
conditions to make their appearance
arrayed in the beautiful colors of
spring.
There were services only in the
Methodist church, by reason of the
absence of Rev. A SDoak, Pastoro
the Presbyterian church, waa tilling
an appoiuiment at Eddy Lake and
the non arrival of the new pastor of
the Baptist church.
Rev Mr Leonard delivered an elo-1
quent and very able sermon his
theme be a living Saviour and was
founded on the unanswerable argument
of Paul in his Epistle to the
Corinthians, thus: "And if Christ be 1
not risen, then is our preaching in
vain, and your faith is also vain,"
etc The sermon was a thoughtful j
exposition of the contention of the
Christian Church that on the third
day after his crucifixion Christ broke
asunder the chains of death, arose
from the dead, ascended to heaven
ind ever livetn to make intercession
lor those who come unto him by
faith It was delivered with earnestness
nnd sound logic that carried
conviction to the hearts and minds
of his hearers The congregation
was unusually large and followed the
speaker with close attention The
singing was exceptionally line and
lent a charm of sublimity to theoeca I
siou that made the services very
impressive.
.Monday's Sales.
Monday was a bad day for publicsales
and the Clerk and Sheriff stood
within the corridor to ward off the
cold wind that was blowing. The
following sales were made:

Landing, containing 220 acres, to V

CONWAY, S. C., THU
Strawberry Crop Damaged
Over one Half.
HEAVY BLOW TO TRUCKERS
The Rain and Wind of Sunday did
* I
but I.idle Damaiu to tirower*
and Truckers, but the Frost of i
Wednesday Moruiujr Cut Berry
Crop Down One Half.
The clouds which had been slither- i
in^ since the noon hour Sunday, became
more threatening ns thn rl?v
waxed older and by nightfall the ,
rain begun to descend and continued
falling all night until Monday after- 1
noon when it turned into sleet. The
barometer began to fall and the
freezing point was almost but not
quite touched. The wind was very
high, cold and penetrating At 1
times it almost reached the velocity
ot a young tornado and as a consequence
a great many timid per- '
sons were much alarmed. j
For awhile fears were entertain- '
ed for the safety of the strawberry
erop and truck. Those who werodis
posed to look upon the dark 'side of
i he providences of Clod were inclined !
to the belief that the strawberry
growers and truckers were ruined;
that the strawberries had been kill- '
ed or thrashed from the vines and
vegeta'ion had been almost total I \
injured. Tho?e who took a more *
cheerful view of the situation and 1
look noon the sunny side of the ups
aud downs of life were of the opln 1
ion that as the ground did not freeze 1
and the berries aud fruit were well
protected with leaves they were not
materially injured. Of course there *
was d uuugo done these crops bv the
cold wave in places in cot tain local
ities, while in others they were not
injured at all. '
?
I.ATER. V
Had the cold weather endtd with
Monday all would havo been well 1
but such was not the ease Tuesday 8
the sun shone orij*htly and the wind f
was brisk, but by ni^nt the wind
lulled and Wednesday morning there v
was a heavy frost. Frorh the elTects
of this frost it is estimated ihat the ^
strawberry crop has been damaged "
one-half. It is a blow to the #row- ;
ers in this community.

What will it be when summer approaches
with all the fllth in the

see another town election, and see
if the votors of the town of Lorlfc
will not wake up to a sense of duty
they owe themselves and family and
elect a mayor and hoard of alderman
that will maintain a hoard of health
and see that the health laws are (
otrictlv carried out and the filth of
town cleaned up. We would be glad 1
to have an explanation from the
mayor or some one of the board of (
aldermen why they do not maintain
a board of health, We are not lawyers
nor doctors, but would like to
state to the aldermen of Loris that (
the fine for failing to maintain a
b? ard of health is one hundred dollars
ea *h or six months imprisonment,
if they were prosecuted, and
it is very likely that they will be if
they do not get to work at once,
which we hope tbev will do.
