The business of the criminal court was finished up on Tuesday evening of last week, and on Wednesday the court was rty&dy to proceed with ei\il business, the court of common pleas being opened. The first of the civil cases called was that of the State of South Carolina, ex relation Horry county vs Albert H. Long. as administrator of the estate of L. D. Long, deceased, and the American Bonding Company, of Baltimore. The Bonding Co., had stood the bond of Mr. L. D. Long as treasurer of Horry counly Mr. Long died in June 1902, and the following annual settlement showed a shortage in bis ottiee amounting to more than $4,000. The suit was brought to recover this shortage out of the bonding company as surety on the bond of Mr. Long. The bonding company was represented by II(j>n It. IF Scarborough, the administrator bv H. II Woodward and the State by Attorneys C. L\ Quattlebaum and M, C. Woods of Marion. The following jury was empanelled to try the case: ft. V. Ward, Foreman.' J. II. IF. fcidge, N.J. Hardee, C. L. CI rainger, Everett Walts, J.J. Sanders, It. IT. Uarrelson, 1) M Harrelson, Arnold Bell, B. H. Vaught, L. C. Tyler, J. B Cox. After the jury had been drawn, the bonding' company made a motion to have the Bank of Conway brought in as a party defendant, on the ground among others that Mr. Long had kept his otlicial accounts there, but the court refused the motion, and sustained a demurrer to this part of defendant's answer. The plaintiff called as witnesses Treasurer J. A.McDermott, County Auditor J. A. Lewis and Gen. J. P. Derham. The principal witness for the plaintiff was Mr. Derham, who had eximaued the books and kept a statement of the funds that should have been on hand. The defense called Messrs. D. A . Spivey, J. P. Derham, and also had the administrator subpoenaed as a witness. The court held that no evidence had been produced by the defendant Bonding Company to show any legal defense to the cause of action, and directed the jury to return the following verdict, which was according ly done: t? (.nr. rf. e 1 _ . in. ? . . vvf.'rnu Kir me piamun in I no penal tyVof the bond as against A. If. Long as administrator, subject to his plea of Plene udmiuistravit Praeter, and against American Bond ing Company, of Baltimore, generally, to wit, for the sum twelve thousand do'lars, Ti. V. Ward, Foreman." This ended the bonding case in favor of the State and County. The next case of importance was the case of T. I).

The 'old fogies" of twenty-five years ago who said that the town had reached its zenith have only to wake irp and look around to find out that their predictions were based upon extreme pessimistic views. The little "Horo" of those days has grown to be a little city?in fact has reached about its limit, without acquiring more room. Ror during it on the south is the beautiful W'uecamaw, and on the east lies the mngniticient Kingston lake. The growth of our town in the future will necessarily be northward and westward. Realizing this self evi dent proposition, several years ago the llorrv Land A Improvement Co., was organized bv Col I). A. Spivey for the purpose of buying, improving, renting and selling reai estate. He is now the President and Gen'I Manager of the company, while Mr John C. Spivey is the Secretary and Treasurer, and has charge of renting department. Since its organization they have acquired quite a large tract of valuable lands in the western part of the town. For some vears the contemplated improvements were retarded by the pending "Durant Suit.' Last year, however, negotiations were made wheveby safe and warranted titles were secured, and the way is now clear for the work thus delayed The company has recently had the Clart'iidon Dots.

The marriage took place about 1 o'clock in the afternoon at the home of the bride's father, Mr J, 11. Morse. Mr Cisrhoe (lore performed the ceremony. Mrs BerthaClardy acted as brieds maid with Mr Arthur Watson The waiters were Miss Lillain Morse and Miss Palah Joy- < ner, who walked out ahead followed by Miss Norcie Gorganos with Mr McKoy Currie, Miss Grace Morse with Mr Willie Stephens. The . t. i i * i . lauies wore an uressou in vvmto while the bride, wore a lovely gown made of lovely French batiste. After the ceremony refreshments were served after which thev left for their future home near Star City. The crowd followed and enjoyed a n'ce supper which was prepared b}' the groom's mother.
