Last Friday a white man named E J Cox and his wife were brought to Conway by Constable Bruton. and lodged in the county jail charged with stealing two shirts and a lady's cloak from Joo Sarkis and Jenr.y sarkis, the Syrian peddlers. Mr Cox is a tenant on a farm in Bucks township, known as Baties Bay, and is well acquainted with f i. Sarkis, Sarkis having often staid >with him over night on his trading trips through tbo country. Sarkis, accompanied by his wife, stopped at Cox's place to spend the night on Wednesday night of last week and the Syrians claimed that next morning they were short of the articles mentioned. Mr and Mrs Cox state that there was no truth whatever in the charges, that Sarkis and his wife were drunk when they came to his home, and were still drinking ou the following morning when they left and that nothing was said next morning about the missing articles.

On Saturday the father of Mrs Cox came to Conway and compromised the matter with the Syrian peddler, and the people wore turned out of jail Fox Caiitflit Civis. Ed'.tor Herald:?Please allow me space in your valuable paper for a few words. Mr Editor, it seems that Mr 2-51(> has got Mr 14-13-20 to help him out in his controversy. He said that 1 got a back woods fox to reply in my place, but he is badly mistaken. * - 1 have sense enough to write my own articles without the help of a teacher. Mr Civis, I am the kindly kind of fox that stands by the poor class of people and try to help them come from under the clutches of the man with means. Mr Civis says that I am a poor ignorant quadruped man, explains that a botch or cobbled up is a glass fence. I didn't say it was a glass fence, I said I didn't know what kind of a fence it was unless it was a glass one. Poor ignorant quadruped fellows, they study the fox catalogue till they get a good education, then they sell that botch or cobbled fencing at their fox drug stores and wonder if the people know where it is. They say that I said we live in a free country I said that if these fellows have any woods land and charge their neighbors to let their cattle and hogs feed on it, I think they have a sol fish principle. Now they say if I go to the Bank of Con-1 way and run iny paw through the scuttle hole and get a wad I would be peeping through the bars. They say I split rails with elbow .grease. 1 say it takes elbow grease drive the wedge. It would be an insane man that would think a maul and wedge would split rails without the elbow grease. Now, Mr Editor, I didn't want to answer these correspondents but but in justice to myself I thought I ought to. Bay Fox. There was a trial before Mayor H P Little last Tuesday morning in which Mary Thomas, Jake Moultry and Wheeler Cox were charged with disorderly conduct and with assault ana DaLiery jjotn sines were represented by attorneys and the wjjflollowio# named gentlemen were drawn as a jury to try the case: John Daniels, L H Burroughs, S C Richardson, A E Goldfinch, Paul Quattlebaum.

Superintendents Should Hojriu to Talk up the Convention and the Schools Should Send Their Rest and Most Enthusiastic Workers as Delegates. The executive committeo of the Association met last week and after conferring with representatives from Loris the above date was fixed for our county convention. A full program of the convention will be published in next week's papers. Some of the best Sunday school talent in the State is expected to be with us at Loris. 'Among these are Mr .1. M. Way, general secretary of South Carolina, and Miss f? race Van diver, of Spartanburg, who is a specialist in primary work. She now holds the position of State Superintendent of that department. Some of the most enthusiastic Sunday school workers of the county are also expected to be on the program. We trust that every Sunday sshool in the county will be well represented. Let the superintendents begin talking the convention in their schools and get some of their best and most earnest workers in the list of delegates. Please don't put this important matter off until later, act now. Horry is steadily keeping in the lead in organized Sunday school work. We liavo already held several township conventions and expect to have several more before the county convention, as you will see elsewhere in this issue. Pray for the convention, work for it, and God will bless our united efforts in this important branch of his work, A Letter From l.ouisiania Editor Herald:?Please allow me space for a fow words through your valuable paper. I am glad that Horry county escaped the panic which was apparently widespread, and caused much sutTering in the north, east and west on account of scarcity of money, but the grocery man never thought mucti about that. I am glad so much headway is being made in the digging of the Panama canal, which will open the way to the Orient to this place. I arn glad that the Waterways Convention in Chicago is arousing an interest in behalf of the lakes and rivers of our country?an interest which is bound to develop for the betterment of our country and into a sentiment that will sooner or latter control congress and secure appropriations that will make cheap delivery of a nation abundance to all the worldI am glad that the Democratic party has made i record in the advancement of our country which justify the citizens of the old town ef Conway to realize tho fact that the election is over. All I can see or hear is the stock law, so lets hear from some of the farmers of South Carolina. D. C. Ilayden, log contractor here is making rapid headway. Christmas is near at hand and T hope the people of Horry a merry Christmas and.a happy new year. Several of the boys made a flying trip to New Orleans Saturday. Best wishes to the Herald and its many readers. S. II. Smith, Brookhaven, Miss. Leon School. Editor Herald: ? We wish to thank the peoplo for the collection of $20 55 that was taken up at our birth-day entainment on Friday night, December 18th The proceeds will be used to improve the school building. The school is progressing nicely under the management of Miss Minnie Stanley. About three yenrs ago we organized a Sunday school at this place and before one year some kicked out and tried to tear everything up, but there are a few of us, by the help of God, still working on. And we continue to succeed in our un dertakings. We intend to work on in building up our school and Sunday school in spite of all they can do. Best wishes to the Herald and its many readers. School Boy. Box Slipper. There will be a box supper at VVhite 'Oak School House, near Bisco, Friday night, January 1st, 1909, New Year. A cordial inivtation is extended to all, and it is hoped every body will come and take part with us. The money raised will be placed to the school's interest. Our trustees have had a nice new building erected, and have spent nearly all their money on it. We are weak and need help along this line. G C Skipper. 1! W !DAY, DECEMBER 21, 1901 Itcsoliitloit A of Itcspcct. When wo think of times past. And voices wo smiled to hear, We are often reminded of our brother, Who paeached to our school and sat in a chair. But sadly wo must say he has left us, So his will be done, we are left alone He surely knows well, it has bereft us, We too somo glad day shall go to the living one. Whereas, It has pleased the great and supreme Architect of the universe to call from among us, one of our worthy and esteemed fellow laborers, Rov L. S. Booth, and, Whereas the long and close connection held with him in the loyal discharge of his duty in this Sunday school, makes it conspicuously suitable that we record our appreciation of him and his service, Therefore, be it resolved, That the wisdom and ability which he has exercised in behalf of our Sunday school bv faithful service and the consecration of his time and counsel will bo hold in grateful rememberanoe. Resolved, That the instant removal of such a life from among us leaves a vacant and a shadow that will ho deeply realized by all the members and friends of our Sunday school, as well as prove a serious loss to the community and public. Resolved, That with deep sympathy with the bereaved relatives of the deceased we express our hope that even so great a loss to us may be overruled for good by Him who dooth all things well. Resolved, That a copy of these resolutions he placed upon the records of this Sunday school, a copy sent to both the Horry Herald and the Field and a copy forwarded to the bereaved family. (Signed) George W. A1 ford, S. J. Cannon, J, Luke Alford, Committee of Joiner Swamp Sunday School. ?I .on llrancti. The health of this section is very good at present, J. IJ. Causey has moved from the Pleasant Meadow section to Grassy Bay. We are having a very good Sunday school a this place at present. Brother R. M. Floyd visited the school last Sunday evening and made a verv interestimr address for us. Ilope ho will come again as he is always welcome. Wo hope the Sunday school will not be allowed to go down this winter. Is is for the lack of interest on tho part of our leaders that they are allowed to go down. I am sorry that so many of our people take part in the box supper parties. Surely those that do so don't understand the divino commands of our Lord and Saviour. I am afraid they haven't had t he proper training at home. The Christian man or woman ought to keep themselves exempt from such company. Do you remember when 'our Lord and Saviour, Jesus Christ commanded our people to educate our boys and girls by gambling out the funds to support them in school? Render unto Satan the things that are his and unto God the things that are His and he will bless us in our undertakings. We must walk in the pathway that Christ has worked out for us if we would be his disciples. The Bible don't teach us to go to such places. But come .ye out from the world and be ye separate saith the Lord. I think if the people would study the interest of their children more instead of studying the stock law \ think they would be in better business. Hoping that the people will be more careful in the future than they have in the past and that more people will try to follow Christ more and not follow Satan so much, and be good peoplo so that we will go to heaven when we die.

Will you allow ft lonstant reader a little space in four paper on the no fence question? [ have kept up with it in your papor ind have seen what many of the Horry people have had to say about ton each side. It seems as if there ire some people in the county who tavo lands and don't want their toorer neighbor's stock to roam ovsr it or feed on it. Some have even resorted to the Bible to prove their side. 1 think they should make good use of the Hiblo in tin; various ways it was intended to be used. I don't think it was intended for us to seek ways of punishment from the Bible only for crime, and that for the people alone as the brute creation have no crimes. God created the beast of the world before man. thus iavp t.lmm t.hn right to the world. Its true, he created man and made him master over all these things, but he created him with sense to know right from wrong. He taught us to not oppress the poor. Ho taught us to do unto others as we would have others do unto us. Now, the no fence law will not only oppress the poor, but will them out of business altogether. There are poor people who have never had the opportunity of their more fortunate neighbors to accumulate any property therefore they are unable to build pastures for their stoek, Out it allowed can have a few hogs to help them along. If their wealthy brother stops their stock otY of his land what are they to do but to submit to him? I have never seen a man in favor fif thn utrwl/ latu r> v .. r,.. f Vfi VMV wvvw.% ? w ?? UAV tliuat* tllllU were wealthy or these that had nothing, so in either case they are working against the middle class. The no fence man is generally the man who didn't scratch for what he has only with pen or p ncilorone that was too lazy to scratch at all or else he is too stingy to eat enough in thickly settled counties where fields join on all sides and no fence is needed, otherwise they are rot, and the idea is to keep Mr Stingy, Mr Got-nothing and Mr Wantnothing away from the polls and Mr Something, and Mr Do-something a chance to vote things their way. If this don't find tho wasto basket possibly I will write again on another subject. Respectfully, C. W. Housend.
