We have all read of the beautiful story of Damon and Pythias; of their deep devotion one to the other and their unfaltering friendship for each other. How one excited the displeasure of the king. was thrown iuto prison and sentenced to be executed. It was during the time between the sentence and the day sot for the execution that the unparalleled, not surpassed by even that which existed between David and Jonathan, was exhibited.

I?. .lackfton Held the ImitieM Sunday mid (lic.lury Krturned Verdict of MnusluiiKliter Last Monday Hartly Hammond was brought.toConway and lodged in jail charged with killing a negro named Harney Hridget. He is a young man and a e.i' i/.-n of Horry county, living in Hloyd's township, anil was hrmis'lit In iail hv U'o nth or young men of the neighborhood, W T Hussvll and C. M. Hammond. The full details of this matter could not. be obtained, but from the best the Herald could learn the Killing took place in the following manner: It is said that Hammond in j company with a negro went to a town in Marion cninty on Saturday morning both parties having guns and both parties bought shells On the way back they went into the woods or swamps between Nichob and Heir IJluli on a burning trip and while in the woods the tragedy took place. We have not been informed of any stand made by Hammond, but parties who asxed the negro be,fore bodied say that he said ho had disputed the word of Mr Hammond and that Mr Hammond shot h* 111, Sometime in the evening on last Saturday Hammond went out from the swamps and stated that he had shot the negro in self defence. He went bank with parties to look for him and at the spot where he was found there were manv signs of a sculllo. The negro was shot through Hie arm, the bullet penetrated the breast, and he died some tiur* Saturday night. jr. is also statfd there was some whiskey involved in th*? trouble. Hammond assisted iho otlu rs in removing the negro from the woods, and seeing that he had attention. On Sunday Magistrate A. P. I'inUsjnn lu>ld :m imuiAvt. !ind l.lin jury returned a verdict of manslaughter. The proceedings have not yet been tiled, and it was impossible to paint the exact language of the finding. Tlic Stock I.aw. Yes, since politics has cooled down it is being agitated again. It must be an absorbing question to the farmer, otherwise there would not bo so much in the paper concerning it. I am not replying to any particu lar individual, but simply stating facts as I see them If Horry county will ever need the stock law it is now, because her best timber is almost exhausted; and the remainder which is mostly sap, is being cut and marketed, and if fencing is made ot this sap st.ulY it is last only a few years before it is rotten So wo work on year in and year out in the same old way, repairing the same old fence around that litile farm of ours because we are not able to fence with wire, nor never will bo until we can tear down these old rotten fences, clear of the hedges and clear right on until we have a large farm. It has been said that we htve too much uncleared laud in the county to have the stock law vet, and we will have too much a long time yet without the stock law. I believe that if wo hrwl t.hn afenolr law, within tun years there would almost twice as many acres of land under cultivation as there is now If we had large riches and other fine grazing and but little good farming land, then we would need the fence law, but we have scores of acres of good farming land and but very liule extra good grazing land, this lying muinlv alonjj side the YVaecumaw river. Farming is a greater industry than stock raising is in this county. If another vote was taken on it, it would not go as unequal as it did before. Man} of us have seen the right way. There is another important reasor why I want, the stock 1n?*\ and thai it will keep the misch >us stock from tearing in the ti !.| and damaging the crop* 1 ? ?, ' i most ol us have realiz . b 1 v that an> man, who is not wining to take cart of his own stock, and koep then from damaging his neighbors is not willing to do what is right. Boys, I don't believe it is a sin tc pasture stock, do you? So lets work hard for the stock law, and when w?* get ib lets raise something tc feed our stock on. [ believe w( can do this and i? wo do, I do not see any wrohg in it. L. M, Hardee. ?

Circus L'ave one proformance here last Friday, and Conway had on? of the largest crowds that has gathered here in a number of years. It is claimed that their tents will seat 10,000 00 peaplc, it this is correct, there were at least ? ight thousand people under the canvas. Several coaches full of people, were brought in by the Conway Coast & Western ttailrnad. One train from Myrtle Beach and another from Ay nor. This Circus in traveling is generally made up of three trains, but it traveled in sections in coming into Conway on Thursday night. The lirst section of the train, containing something over half of the twenty three cars,arrived in Conway about half past nine o'clock and waited until the other section arrived about twenty minutes later. The Circus people unloaded the ears at once along Main Street, and next morning by sun-rise some of the tents were up, and the open lield around the court house presented a scene of busy life. There was the usual large crowd of people to see them unload the animals, and the public square and streets near by were pae.Ked with people during the morning while the large tents were going ill) :ii,d cither :li*im 11 iremeii I s. Iw>imr made. There was a parade at 10 o'clock, but a parade in a small town does not amount to very much. This pirade only went around one square but it was watched with interest by the entire crowd The doors of the big show were opened atone o'clock and the performance began at two o'clock, and the intervening one hour was taken up in looking at the inimals in the menagerie. The performance lasted for two hours, and there was something taking place in each of the three rings nearly all the time, Some of the features were very striking and there were wonderful features of skill and strength without number. They had advertised to havq two performances in Conway, but they declined to have a performance at night on the ground that the crowd would not be sullicicnt to warrant them in the expense. In one of the sid\? shows was a game of chance, which as usual, was very much patronized by some of the people, and it seems that they lost without a single exception, j here was also a number of ticket sellers who worked slight of hand tricks in changing money. Some of this was accomplished while selling tickets to a customer and others lost live or ten dollars in simply receiving change for a ten or twenty dollat bill that the ticket seller would want changed. The people who were thus cheated out of their money could not get hold of the ollieialsof the law until after the big performance was over, then they employed an attorney and as the circus hands were busy hauling the large wagons down tin; main street and getting ready to load them on the cars, the she rill and several constables stepped up and seized the entire outfit. Those who brought legal proceedings were Messrs 11 M nardce, 11 B I'oythros 11 H Floyd, R C Hamilton, VViliie Page, M J Bullock, J M Marlow, W J Bruton, K R Singleton and S F Gasque. When the sheriff held up the operations of the circus people, they at once went to tho 1 Manager who went to the lawyer's office, and in about one hour he 1 paid the amount claimed by these various claimants, which was $115 2f> After this the loading of tho cars proceeded and by half past nine o'clock the trainscarrying the show had left. Tho heaviest loser amocg these who brought legal proceedings against the show was ./ M : Marlow, who was tricked out of ' $h(). ft is not believed that the : manager of the show is responsible morally for this robbery, but the wrong was accomplished by em ployeos of tho show, who were no ; doubt working for their own ends. I The District Convention of the Knights of Pythias consisting of the Counties of Marion, Williams | bur#, Horry and Florence will be held here to-day and to-morrow, [ The Convention is well attended . from thecounties uarned, and besides r the delegates there are many visitiu/^ members of this order in town. ' The local lodge has arranged with 1 the Kingston Hotel to entertain ' tho delegates while here, and the other orders in Conway have joined * with the Knights of Pythias in trying to make the stay of the dele1 gates in Conway a very pleasant | occasion. To-day there will be an 5 op>n session of the convention held ' at the court house, an address of welcome will be delivered by the other orders of the town. At this open meeting anybody is cordially ! invited, and there are many things | on the programme not only of inter' est to members of the order, but in| teresting to others as well. , <?

The uerald will correct a mistake regarding the Black man children mentioned in an item last week. The article stated that they had heen excluded from school, and it now appears that they wero permitted to attend under protest. Concrete pavements were finished around the Hank of Conway building last week by Contractor H P Little. There is tali< of a town ordinance which may require the laying of this kind of pavement through out the business scctioriffl^f the town. In this issue we publish notice of the Federal election and also the general election for the State and County oflicers, which will take place on November lird. !t is to the best interests of the Democratic party that the Democrats visit the polls on that day and cart his vote for the Democratic nominee no matter whether the Republican party have any candidates in the field or not. The representatives of South Carolina in the National Congress depends upon the suffrage. The heavier the Democratic vote cast in South Carolina, the better it will be for South Carolina in Congress, Toddvllle Tidinjrs. V1 ! o a V n n n i r\ i r nloloti r\ f f 1maa?

Most of the farmers are through feathering cotton and have turned their attention to sowing oats. The patrons here seem to he much pleased with their teacher and Miss Jay is much pleased with her surroundings, and all the children speak in the highest terms of the teacher, but the sea does not always run smooth. One evening last week the keen eye of Miss Jay discovered two of the boys whispering, and as a punishment she required them to remain in after school and write a composition on behavior in school. We note that the stock law agitation has started up again, and we hope that it will be conducted on a high plane Let each writer give J a plausible reason for Ins opinion. We like to read the articles of U. Li Scarborough and A. L). Jackson for the stock law and M. J. Liullock and Mr Stanley for tho continuation of the fonce. Let us all be reasonable and open to conviction and not be too quick to criticise the other fellow, especially when we have 110 reason for so doing. The people in this section are hot ready for the stock law as the turpentine and timber interest has been "the go" for tho past several years and the farms have consequently been neglecied.
