I want the people of Horry to
know how I was treated and by
whom. Myself and Hurnev Floyd
left Mullins for Columbia on the 10th
dav (f September, 1008 to seek employment.
Floyd had no money and
1 paid his and his wife's way to Co
lumbia and loaned him $10 00, leaving
me $48. When wc ^'oi to Flor
enee and Floyd bought a quart of
whiskey ami insisted on me to take
a drink, saying that we were friends.
Well, as I thought we wero good
friends 1 drank with him and got
drunk. But before 1 got drunk,
he asked mo for my money and the
check for my trunk, saying that he
would take care of it for me. When
1 got to Columbia I was drunk and
was arrested by the police and
locked up. Floyd' took the next
train for Georgia carrying my money
with him. I was arranged in
court the next morning and lined
$12 dollars or 21 days. I sent word
to VV. 11. Small and he came down
and paid me out. 1 just want the
people of Uorry county to know
how the son of Mr M, T. Floyd
has troated me. Myself and Floyd
grew up in about two miles of each
other and have always been good
friends as I thought. 1 hope to
he fortunate enough in bringing
him to justice some dav. He will
have to "leave the United Statos or
I will got him. 1 was fortunate in
securing employment as I am working

has a deep channel sullieient for any

The steamer Mitchell C passed
through the new cut for the first

Conway from Georgetown. People
who arc interested in steamers and
boating on the Waecamaw are
greatly pleased with the completion
of ihis work, and tliey have a good
deal to say in praise of Captain

has accomplished. Mr and Mrs

for some time by the Service. It is

A piicslioii of Color.
On next. Saturday tho County,
[ Hoard of Education will hoar a
I question of color which has arisen
in regard to some children who at -1
tempted to attend the Pour Mile
Public School on Dog HluiT Public
Road seme miles from Conway. Mr
Lane, one of tho public school teachers
of the County, was teaching
school there last August when Caroline
Blackmail sent her two children
to him. Some people in that section
claimed that Caroline Black mam,
who it seems is otherwise known as
[Caroline Huberts, has some portion
| of colored blood in her veins, Tho
matter was at oueecallen to the attention
of the Trustees, Messrs S .1
Lewis, J C Kin# and J .1 'Jones, and
tney at once excluded tho children
from the school. Since that time
Caroline Hlackman employed an
Attorney and has brought up the
matter before the County Hoard of
Education. They will have a hearing
before the Hoard next Saturday,
and it seems that if the decision of
the Hoard is adverse to tho woman,
she will appeal the question to the
State Hoard. These questions of
color are generally interesting,
especially when they concern a
(juestion of society like this. The
I>oople will doubtless watch the hearing
with interest. One of the
Trustees was in town laft Saturday
and he said that the people would
employ an Attorney to rejjresent
the Trustees in the matter.

llridc of Mr Jcromo C. Arnettc
On last Wednesday, October 7th,
11108, at the residence of the bride's
father, Mr Dwight 0rainier. Miss
Comfort Grainier was married to
Mr Jerome C Arnette, Notary Cublie,
S, 1). Bryant performing the
ceremony.
At about 4:d0 p. in., eight handsomely
dressed couples, friends ami
relatives of the would be man and
wife, preceded them to the reception
hall where they were made husband
and wife.
Now, a short duration of quietness
and ihe dining room being near
we could hear the tingling echoes of
the earthenware sending as though
there were yet some unfinished business;
and at. or about five o'clock,
we wore invited into the dining
room where we found a feast of the
roast foods, baked turkey, chicken,
as well asquantitiesof other things.
This was a wedding feast of which
many were invited and many came.
I would suppose more than fifty partook
of this supper and as many
more could have been served with
plenty to spare. B & L

The Herald is informed that
several shade trees in town have
been cut down in order to make
room for some of the poles and wires
being orocted for Conway Light and
Lower Company. In one place wo
arc informed that the tops of (piite
a number of trees will bo badly
mutilated for the same reason. At
the last named place it. appears that
there will be plenty of room in the
middle of t he street for the erection
of these polos, and we think that
the town authorities should see that
all the trees in all the streets are
preserved, although it might become
little expense to erect poles
and wires so as to avoid them.
There is no calculating the value of
a shade tree, especially on a public
street near the residences of the
people. The destruction of any of
these trees should be avoided no
matter at what expense. /

Mr Editor, it has been sometime
since the stock law appeared in the
paper. In reply to Mr Cor in the
last issue it appears to rne that some
people want to shove the stock law
, on the people of the county anyway.
If the people could vote on it again
, Cor would see that it would go just
. like it did before. Do you think

,] up their stock in such away as that.
