The Town has Made Another ?
Step Forward.
NIGHT TO BE BRIGHT AS DAY.
Tlic Municipal Autliortica of Conway
arc Determined to Have tlccl
ric l.ijflit*. Mayor Sniitli and Aldermen
lluck and Murah aa a Com
mittec Visit fiuorirctown to Inspect
Plant. An Expert Electrician
on the (irotinU.
For the hist several years there
has been no end of talk about electric
lights for Conway. Indeed so
often has has this subject bobbel up
that it, looked tit one time like the
whole thing, like a good many other
momentus measures along the line
of internal improvement, was to be
talked to death, and the realization
of the long expected and much desired
convenience was as far from
us as it ever was.
But not so. Mayor Smith and his
Board of Aldermen, have determined
to do something tor posterity. Never
before has so much work been done
in Conway as is now being done,
and in saying this we cast no rellection
on previous councils. They
are the ones who blazed the way and
Ill till!" It pUSML'lt; nil till* piCSCIlti
council to ,accomplish what they
have undert^'en, unci are now doing,
(leorge Sessions, Hal Buck and Leon
Burroughs with their advisors have
done good service for Conway.
Their paths were rough. They had
to go slow and break down the
barriers and prejudices and left the
affairs of the town and its inutitudinous
interests in as good a condition
us could be reasonably expected.
Their term was short?only one
year each-?and they could but start
a work of improvement before they
would have to turn over the reins of
government into other hands. They
are pioneers in the developeinent and
improvement of Conway, and the
Herald is proud to say to these men
who served their town without money
and without price to each and
every one of t hem, that thov did remarkably
well under the restrictions
of their otlice; the Herald will say
well done and it means it.
Our present Mayor and Board of
Aldermen enjoy enlarged powers.
They have tne right to bond the
town for not more than $20,000 for
internal improvements. These bonds
can and will be floated tor not more
than 4 1-2 per cent per annum, Darl
in#ton, we helieve, just the other
day, installed an electric li#ht and
water power plant without usin# a
dollar's worth of bonds anil what
Darlington has done, Conway can
and will do.
Never was a man more determined
to catch up the threads dropped
hy former councils through force of
circumstance, and weave them into
a stroll# whole than is Mayor Smith,
the internal improvement committer
and the council. Everybody is workin#
in harmony and we have vet tc
find the fitat kick re#'stered. A
tremendous amount of work has
been done*on the streets and on
private property. Debts have beer
paid and today Conway has nc
debt either floatin# or by bonds.
Then why can't we have electrii
li#hts and a sewera#e system foi
that, matter?
Those thin#s aro comintr. Mayoi
Smith has set his head to this, ant
those who know him, knows whei
he says yes he means yes, and In
has the moral support of the peoph
to strengthen his hands.
A man from Dumber#, an exper
electrician, who has wide and varie<
experience, is in Conway and thi
matter willreceive his careful at
tention, \pd from all the influence
now at w'ork the Herald is justifie
in saying that Conway will soon se
her streets made to shine at nigh
as brilliantly as the|noonday sun an
her property protected by an am pi
water supply.
MARRIED.

Custody of Cliilil ItciliaiilH Willi
the rattier.
The case brought nntler a Habeas '
Corpus writ last, week by Mrs Temperance
S. Iliohardson against her
husband, Benj. A. Richardson, in
the etl'ort to regain the custody and
possession of her three year old
baby, attracted a large crowd at the
heat ing , and did not fail to awaken
considerable interest even among
those who did not hear it in the
court house, but heard about it on
the outsido. As we went, to press
without* last, issue the trial was join^
ahead. and the decision had not
been rendered. After all the witnesses
had been sworn the. magistrates
retired and remained out. but.
a few minutes when they returned
andsigiyd an order as follows: "Upon
hearing the within petition, and
after making full investigation and
consideration thereof, it is ordered,
adjudged and decreed that the prayer
of the petition he refused; that
the custody of the child remain with
the father where it now is, he not to
remove it bevou<! the limits of the
State; and that the petitioner, Temperance
S. Richardson, remaining
within the State shall not he prohibited
from visiting the child."
Public sentiment was all in favor of
the husband in the matter from the
beginning.
LATER
Several warrants had been issued
against the parties named. Against
B A Richardson his wife swore out
two warrants, one chargingudnltrv,
the other larceny, t he latter growing
out of a sale by l> A Richardson of
certain property, a sewing machine
and other articles, claimed by his
wife. On the day that the Magistrate
tried the question of the custody or
the child, B A Richardson swore out
a warrant against his wife and M
Wisbv, charging them with adultry.
A few days after the trial took
place in regard t<> the child, the parties
appeared before Magistrate J curette
and took up all the warrants
that had been issued, having appar
( entiy settled all matters in dispute.
It is reported that the parties have
, gone back together, hut this report
has not been verified.

The court of Magistrate J N
, Jen rette was engaged last Thursday
i in the trial of S .1 Lewis vs. Charley
Johnson involving a laborer's conr
tract in connection also with a
i house of Mr Lewis in which Johnson
1 lived, and two acres of land which
Mr Johnson had planted.
^ rui - . i i i f ii

the work and services rendered by
^ Mr Johnson, Lewis claimed that his
j work was not- satisfactory. Ili'
discharged him and brought this
suit to regain possession of the house
and the. field, Johnson declaring ho
^ would hold these until the end of
0 the year.
t It appeared at the trial that the
trade for the two acres of cleared
^ land around the little house was
separated from the rest of the bargain,
and after hearing all the
evidence the Magistrate made an
order that Johnson should vacate
i- the house at the end of thirty days,
e but that he should retain the erov
?s he had planted in the land.
