For the information of tho ambitious
young boys of Horry, we state
that there will bo a competitive examination
held at Florence on Saturday,
November 21st. for the purpose
of selecting a midshipman for

for an Horry hoy to win
a very desirable scholarship, and we
trust that several will enter the
competitive examination and one of
them will succeed in being the successful
applicant. For further information
apply to l)r .1. L. Mann,
Florence, or J. E. Ellerbe, Marion.

of breaking out, but when Sunday
morninf Jirrived t.hf? nrisrinoi' v.cwl

know his name, but a fictitious
name was used for him and a warrant
was issued last Monday. it was
stated that he was recently at work
at the farm of Mr Hardee.
No improvements have yet been
made to the court house grounds.

a grove of nicely growing shade trees
I there and the grounds beaulifuily
j and artisticall v laid olT walks and
I flower beds. Suggestions have been
(called for by the Commission as to
the best plans for improving them,
but the presumption is great that
the Commission has neither received
auv suggestions; or, that they
were not satisfactory as there are
certainly no evidonces of improvements
there nor no sign of preparation
for them, except sometime
along in the spring the ground was
brokon and sowed to something or
other.

The people in Conway, and in
Horry county, like the people all over
the United States, were interested
yesterday in the national election
for president. The business men on
Main street on last Tuesday conI
tribuied for a youd 'phone connection
with the Associated Press at
Wilmington, so that all of the available
news concerning the eloetiou
could he known at Conway as soon
as possible. Kroin eij/ht o'clock in
the evening until late at ni^ht,
there was a lurjre crowd gathered
around the bulletins which the tele
phono company posted from time to
tune at the IJorry hank building.
It was soon learned that Chandler
had beaten Hughes for the governorship
of New York Stale, and
at the same time, strange to sav,
Taft had beaten Bryai in that
State. It was plain from this that
largo trading had taken plaee, but
the details at that time could not
be learned. It is well known that
Hughes during his administration
took a high stand for law and order,
putting an end to much of the Sunday
horse racing, base ball playing
and Sunday gambling, and many
other devices incident to the largest
city in Ameti-'a. This fact operated
against him, and Chandler beat
him by an overwhelming majority.
The bulletin stated that Joe Cannon
had been reelected contrary to the
predictions of all the Democratic
newspapers and some of the Republican
ones, also Bryau was carrying
his State, something that he failed
to do before.
Later on Wednesday news was received
thai a landslide in upper New
Yoru State had elected Hughes governor
of New York.
Reports on Wednesday show Taft
elected by a big majority, and as
carrying all doubtful States. As we
go to press r< ports at e st ill coming

l.rjral Sales
Several sales were made last
Monday in front of the new court,
house, some by the Sheriff and
others bu tha Clerk of Court.
A trrct. of 50 acres in Lloyd's
township was bought bv H. F,? ilarlield
at the psice of $175.00
In the ease of Holiday vs Floyd
306 acres iu Floyd's township was
sold to (i J Holiday for $1,000. (H)
A tract of 52 acres in Do^ Bluff,
township, the residence of the lute
LI 11 Cox, was knock* d down to I V
Barker for 308.00.
A Small tract of 25 acres in Green
Sea township was resold under
order of the court in the case of W
E Tor tor vs .1 .1 Sri* vis, and was
purchased l>y II H Woodward for
$20.00
Another sale which took place
was the sale of the horse recently
advertissd to sell in order to pay
the feed bill held against him by
Conwa Live Stock Company. This
is a horse that was sold to a Company
at Conway by a northern linn
a year or two ago for the sum of
$4-100 00. The man sent down here
to make the sale was a slick tongued
fellow, fully up to his job. It has
been said that there is a sucker
born every minute, at least there
were plenty of suckers in evidence
at the time that Mr Spang was
making up his Company, and getting
,K5 note signed for the $1100 00
Those who took stock wore required
to sign joint notes and very recently
a suit was filed against all these
stockholders to recover the amount
of the note. The Company agreed
to keep the horse at the stables >f
Conway Live Stock Company, and
as the charges for him were not paid
Mr Thompson advertised the animal
in order to get his pay. No was
purchased by A C Murrell at the
price of $480.00, Some people remarked
the wide dilTe *ncc between
the $4400 00 and the $180 00.
In Mcply to .1. II CauscyEditor
Herald:?Please allow me
space in your paper to reply to an
[article in the Field under date of
October 20th and written by Mr J .
H. Causey in regards to a box supper
at our school house.
I agree that wc have been talking
of having a box supper at our school
1 house for the purpose of raising
some money to make iu provemeius
to our school building. N:>w, Mr
Causey asks the question, is this
practice right? Says he does not
think any Christian should take
part in any such a Hairs. 1 will say
for his information, that we have
Miss Addio Vaught teaching for us,
who we believe to be one of Horry's
best teachers and a Christian lady
and has been discharging her whole
duty. She suggested that we have
a box supper to raise some inonov
for the purpose just mentioned. I
am sure that none of us thought it
any harm to have a box supper
neither did Miss Vaughl believe that
there was any one down here who
was so narrow minded as to accuse
her of being the devil setting his
trap to catL'h the young folks in
Knowing that a good many of the
churches have box suppers and the
best people ofourcounty have taken
part in them, we would like to have
Mr Causey explain why it is that he
does not think any Christian should
take part in them I low eould he
think this was a trap set to catch
any one when no harm was intended
or expected. Our aim was to try
to better our condition and to show
our children that we were interest
ed in their education.
Now, he that will not provide for
his: own household has already denied
the faith and has become worse
than an infidel. And he who sits on
the stool of do nothing and does
not try to provide a place for his
children to obtain an education Is a
man without the grace of God. fie
also says he does no believe in any
form of gambling. He would have
the people believe we were going to
have a gambling pat'tv. I wonder
if he does not know the difference
between selling property to the
highest bidder and gambling, if he
does not would advise him to contribute
something to the school and
attend one term then perhaps he will
know the difference between a box
supper and a gambling party and
will know better how to represent
mem.
Now, T am glad that all our people
do not see like Mr Causey and that
some of us are willing to help to roll
the wheel of prosperity along. But
just as soon as wo get it started
there is someone standing with idle
hands and open heart ready to put
the wheel out of existence if they
possibly could

Kditor Herald:?Please *?ive me
space in your papor for a word or
two about the stock law. I see a
?jood many articles in the paper advocating
it. I wonder if the ones
who wrote the articles were drinking
when they wrote them? If they
were, they don't know what they
were talking about. 1 have been in
a little or it in my life and 1 don't
like it. Where they Imvo it., the
stock almost stnr\. for tho want of
something green I have seen the
cows bite tho Unv-s olV the trees as
high as they count reach and try to
reach higher They don't do it
here as they get all the grass they
want. Start now, men, and make
up your fences and let the stock go
in tho woods. Then you can get a
piece of heef once in a while, or
have a hog to kill and if you don't
get much meat you got some g? id
bones to gnaw on. So make your
fence up now, dont wait till March
to start t.hom. you will have too
much to do and cattle will bother

Editor Herald:?Please allow me

lew words in answer to L. M. Hardee,
who is in favor of the stock
law. Now Mr Editor and citizens
of Horry county, 1 want you to cut
the no fence law out. I don't think
it is right to be fighting for the no
fence law. Now, friends, it might
suit some who have nothing, or as
Mr Harden says, lias only a little
patch, and is to la/.y to keep the
fence up. Every man in Horry

Now, about the mischievous cattle.
It' you were to shut your cuttle
up in a pasture it would not ho long
before some lazy fellow who wants
to live on the labor of their more
industrious neighbors, would tear
down the fence and drive your cattle
in his little old patch and charge
big damages just to make money.
It takes honest men to do business
and now citizens, let us put a stop
to the no fence law. I would say to
those who seem so carried with 011thusiam
as to warp their better
judgment to please let their mind
lead them right concerning this
matter, and if you talk the stock
law right on let the thoughtful people
voie for the fence.
I am not a no fence man nor never
will be. Let the lazy man he made
to go to work and make up
a good strong fence and keep it in
lawful repair or go to the gang.

paper.
It seems that the stock law is
mostly the subject now. I thin* it
would be a good thing. We have
the no fence and if it be left to a
vote we will have the law.
We have a few razor back hogs
which helped our forefathers subdue
the wilderness. While they
hood the corn and fought Indians he
roamed the forests and provided
enough bacon to supplement in the
smoke house. The razor back was a
good citizen and performed his part
nobly in establishing civilization
in this country then, but if we get
the stock law wo won't ueed him
any longer for he won't do well shut
up in a pen. Most farmers in this
advanced ago are getting out of the
woods?they have broad acres of
corn, cotton and various other
crops?the razor back is not at home
on a well regulated farm so lots
[have the stock law and a better
breed of hogs. 10 3 10
Stock I.aw.
Kditor Herald:?Please allow me
space in the Herald for a few lines
on the stock law question as I have
seen a good many articles on it
lately, 1 would like for every one to
take this question under careful
consideration and see if they could
not view it in the right light. T for
one with honest convictions think
the stock law would be the oest
thing that the county could have.
T will give some of my* reasons. 1st
We like the no fence; 2nd, we have
as good as no woods; 3rd, neighbors
are having hard feelings with each
other on account of their sorry
stock eating their stock; 4th, it
would not be many years before
Horry could make her support on
the farm and that is what wo have
got to do; 5th, a great many of the
I Horry fanners have the expcnto of
< ' r'\ "
V*
V" '
No. 30
buyiny a horse or mule for u half
horso farm because the oxen have
been killed on account of the fenco.
I would like to say a few words in
reply to "Hood Roy." Get hold of
your dictionary and see if you can
make pasture mean muzzle. "Muzzle
the ox" is the scripture you refer
to and is not pasture theox.
Yours for the stock law.
