I END OF COURT"
Many Violators of the Law
Were Tried.
THE INJUNCTION DISSOLVED
Ttic Solicitor Secured Conviction*
in all Cmcs Tried Save One -TUe
CrliiusCliar/fi il Were/Mostly for
Minor Violations.
The* grand jury name into court,
made their final presentment and
and was discharged.
The court proceeded with the case
of the State vs J. M. Conerly charged
under the statute with false
packing of cotton. Several witnesses
were called by the Stato and testified
that warm or hot water from
the boiler was used around the press
when the cotton was being pressed
into bales Joe Pender, the engineer
who ran the steam engine, was
sworn. Two other witnesses told of
being hired to carry hot water up
in the gin and place on seed cotton
which belonged to Mr Conerly. T
W. Pox worth testified to going to
the gin about October last and saw
water dripping from the press and
thought it was carelessness on
the part of the packer. Cold water
could not soak into the cotton but
hot water would soak in and stay
there. Mr Ayers, the prosecutor,
testified he bought three bales of
cotton from Mr Conerly and lost
$.'18 02 on two of the bales, gotting
only 2 cents when he ought to have
had 8 18 cents.
The (h fense then put up witnesses
to show that the mill had been
rented out to Morris & Rogers and
was under their control at the time.
The arguments were made after
the recess, Hon It. B. Scarborough
for the defendant and Solicitor
Wells closed for the State. The
jury after remaining out all night
returned a verdict of guilty with
niohil'it win to niorf v
, Susan Dimery, who had been sentenced
in her absence eatne into
court and her sentence was suspended
during her good behavior.
The State vs. Bardley Hammond
was then taken up. It will he remembered
that this defendant was
tried at the last term of the court
on the charge of murder and acquitted
of the charge. The solicitor
at once had him lodged for the crime
of perjury, it appearing that Hammond
had testified before the eorou
cr that the negro, Harney Bridges,
accidentia shot himself or committed
suicide, and at his trial on the charge
of murder, he testified that he
shot Bridges in self defense, Ilainmond
was found guilty.
THURSDAY.
The next case tried was the State
vs John T. IJarrelson,9 charged with
obstructing a neighborhood road.
The witnesses for the State in this
case went baek for forty years to
try to show that the road had been
used forty years ago. But it was
also proved that the old road was
cut out to get to an old ir.il 1 on Long
Branch and that the mill had gone
down in about 18711 and that for
many years thereafter the road
could not be used across at the old
mill. After much testimony and
arguments by the solicitor and It
B Scarborough for the State and
by IT. H. Woodward, Esq , for the
defendant. The jury retired to consider
the case at about 5 o'clock.
The jury returned a verdict in the
biO. mtwil.inmwl ai<zo fii-wlii.tr l.1w? /!/.
fondant guilty.
The next casn tried was that of
the State against J. M. Fortescue,
who was charged with assault and
battery. Mr Fortescue is the Chief
of Police of Conway, and last winter
during a scuttle with Olan Daniels,
who was on the street in a disorderly
condition,struck Mr Daniels
making a wound on his forehead so
that he had to have attention of a
physician. The policeman was represented
in this case by Messrs It
W. Wait and U. It. Scarborough.
The jury returned a verdict of guilty
of a simple assault and battery, and
he was sentenced to a line of $20 00
. which was paid. This was the last
criminal case to be tried.
Two cases against W. C. Fowler
and D. F. Fowler wore continued
until the next term of the court.
ity tho time the criminal business
was finished it was about noon on
Friday and there was only one civil
jury matter tried, This was an ap

Peter McCray and Belsey .lane
Bryant, all colored, from a decision
. of the County Board of Commission l
ers giving them compensation for
V) running a public road across their lot
^ lyinear the town. The Boatd
I had allowed some of them $5 00 each
and to others nothing, and they appealed
from the decision. U, H.
Wocdward represented the county
and the appellants were represented
by B. W. Wait and H. B
Scarborough. After a full hearing
as to the value of lands in thai
neighborhood and arguments 01
both pides, the jury found for

In Memory of T. A. Skipper.
On the 29th of April, the death '
angol came to the homo of Mr and
Mrs Thomas A. Skipper, and claimed
for his own, the beloved litis
band and father. The entire community
was saddened when the news

but a short time when the end came.
I3ut wo do not mourn as those who

matter, and he was an important
factor in its establishment.

and for the others $10.00 each ex
oept Betsey Jane Bryant, who was
allowed $5 00. Hughie Williams
claimed as much as $150 00 and
some of the others had claimed
$50.00.
On Friday night the Judge began
the hearing of a motion to dissolve
a temporary injunction granted by
Judge Woods against the town
authorities in laying a sewer pipe. N
The town was represented at the
hearing by Messrs 15. W. Wait
and It. B. Scarborough and the '
tax payers of the town, who J
brought the proceedings by II H. 1
Woodward. The argument for the
plaintiff was not closed at the session
on Friday night, but was I'm- [
ished on Saturday morning after .
which the arguments for the town
were heard by the Judge. At the j
end of the arguments the Judge v
dissolved the temporary injunction, k
without giving any reason of his .
ruling whatever. Some of the parties
interested are not satisfied j
with the views which he must have
taken of the law in regard to the
matter, and the case will likely
be taken to the Supreme court.
The court adjourned on Satur- I
day about noon time. '

The time is hero when an election
can be held in Horry 011 the question
of dispensary or no dispensary,
tho four years since the dispensary
was voted out having about expired.
It is claimed by some who are in a
position to know whereof they speak
that the result of that election was
brought about not so much by opposition
to the dispensary system of
controlling the L.le of whiskey as it
was to the oppositon to the location
of those dispensaries. Hut be this
as it may it is a known fact that
there is wide spread dissatisfaction
at the present condition in reference
to the whiskey situation and this
dissat sfact'on {{rows out of the failure
of prohibition to prohibit. As
unwilling as we may be and as much
as we may regret that conditions are
not other wiso than they are,
truth compels us to look at conditi<
n as they really exist and not
like we would like to have Hum.
We find that nearly every day liquor
is shipped into Horry for its
unlawful sale and consumption and
we are powerless to prevent it. We
tindthe blind tiger becoming more
numerous and growing stronger.
Wo litul abundant evidence of his
unholy presence at almost any time.

of our a cituenship laboring faithfully
and earnestly and prayerfully
to counteract the baleful influence
of this monster ^iant who is draeoiuo
our youtitf men down to a
drunkard's j^rave and a drunkard's
hell. We find mollie s and fathers
bonding their energies to break the
fetters which bind their loved ones
and robs homo of its sanctity and
society of its sacrcdnoss. And lastly
we find that, notwithstanding all
those inllueneo are used to check
the tide of internperanoe it is apparent
to the most careless and indilTerent
person that intemperance
has not diminished but to the contrary
is on the increase, and this increase
is all the more alarming because
it is not confined to any particular
class but from the ranks of
every shade of our social life come
recruits to swell the ranks of those
who have enlisted under the black
fla# of K'irio Alcohol, whose rule is
ruin and whose kingdom is physical
and spiritual death. Now, the
thought naturally comes, what are
wo k'oino to do with this demon?

to continue this so called prohibition
which we have had for the lust four
years when the evidence of our own
e \es and our own personal experience
demonstrates that not all the
moral and legal, both human and divine,
influences which have been
brought to bear; not all the tears
of the widow and orphan; not all
the; buildup', bleeding heart throbs
oi the wife and mother are sufli4
cient to put a stop to the illicit sale
??f ahis'<c\? Does not this failure
of proh hi Don to prohibit prove that
it is a ih lusio i and a snare? Does
not ex perience und wisdom suggest
that the only I ivo Licul way to deal
with the whiskey situation is by the
adoption of the dispensary system of
control ing the tee and sale of whiskey?
Whiskey is an evil, that goes
without raying, and it is equally
true that it is an evil that we have
always h u? and al vays will have as
long us this world stauds. Then
why not thr w fanaticism to the
winds, cut lo^se from that which
has proven a dismal failure and a
bitter dibapp mittnont, by taking
a eemmou sense and sensible view
of the matter and establish a dispensary
at Conw w at least where
it will bo under phtce surveiilanco?
What say the vocois?
