Tho Herald is glad to be informed
that the village of Little River, ii
this county, is in a thriving and
pro-perous condition. While the
people there are not making me eh
noise over the matter, yet they are
keeping pace with the progress of
tho balance of the county and are
ttking a oomoudable interest in tho
future of the place and an active
pirt in th? development of its va
rie.d resources.
For tho want of adequate transportation
facilities to promptly
movo its raw and manufactured commodities,
the people of Little River
aro greatly handicapped in the work
of bettering their condition and improving
their commercial and in
ilusiriai interests. However, this
village bears the distinction of making
the (irst oIT >rt toward railroad
building in iheounty. Our recollection
is that a Mr Dunn, who, we
believe, was Senator from this
county during the days of good
stealing, anyhow, he was Comptroller
General of the State under tin1
Republican regime, headed a movement
to build a railroad from Little
River ill rough the county to some
poiut of connection with a trunk
line. Work is said to have actually
Kaon nnm manned art i h i o r ao/1 n n/1 a
uv^v. II lyVMll llll/IIUVA? WU vil I O I UUU l?UV? (I
considerable potion of the grading
completed. Rut for soma cause, or
a combination of causes, probably
internal dissensions and opposition,
after many vissltudes and much
, disappointments, this important
work was abandoned and no effort,
as far as wo know, has been
made to revive it, or if there ha1i
oen it amiunted t> nothing, ano
ihe oonsequonoe is Let tie River is
without railroul faoilUies, but notwithstanding
this faot her sky is
roseate with "bright promises of a
successful and a more prosperous
future. Our information is that its
people are fully alive to the importance
of having railroad oonnectlon
with f hn Aittc'ulo o nrl QUO
ff % Ult uuc v/uwoimw ?? V/1 a v t uuu ai u uruuing
every energy ami straining every
ner/o to accomplish this end and
whenever a people is wrought up to
A th5s pitch g >od results will invaria'
bly follow.
But nature never Intended for
Little River to be bottled up, It
is the seaport town of Ilorry. It
has a nice little hai bor iu which
small vessels can enter, and a considerablo
tralli; is bung carried on
between there and Wilmington ami
other ports. A n appropriation from
the National Government to improve
its harbor by deepening the bar so
that vessels of larger draught could
outer would be money well spent
The government has spent thou
sands, if not millions, in an attempt
to improve the bar at Georgetown
to the ma'ori il injury of the tributaries
of Winyah Bay, and the cry
gies uo to c. ingress from therefor
m ire money Why not appropriate
some of this money for the improvement
of the bar at Little River?
As we have t.lreidy said, Little
R:vor is the seaparb of Horry, and
ins people have the ambition t > make
it the chief and mrmt imnnrMnt,
cimmeroial centre of the county. J
It has a large. rich and fertile hack !
country and the ambition and energy
to make it such.
Just at present the most important
industry of the village is its
h mbor industry, and the biggest
factor in making it s> is the Ham
mer Lumber Company of which Mr
Thomas Philip Hammer, of W-luiington
is the head. Concerning
this company we take the following
from a late issue of the Wilmington
Star:
"The schooner "Ed It. Haird, Jr."
Capt. Geo. Bennett, cleared Thurx
# day from the Hammer Lumber
Company's plant at Little River, S
C., with cargo of 287,000 feet kiln
dried lumber for New York custom
ers There is now sufficient water
on the Little River bar for small
coasting schooners and all the lumber
cut by this mill is being shipped
direct. The schooner "Wm.
Thomas Moore" is expected this
week. She will also take cargo from

THE RAILROAD INJUNCTION.
Mr Lyon Will Defend tlie Railroad
Com miftsioners.
Columbia Slate.
Attorney General Lyon, as attorney
for the South Carolina board of
railroad commissioners, is work in*/
on the order to show cause before
Jud^e Prltehard at Asheville, August
17, why the commission sh >uld
not be permanently restrained from
enforcing an order recently issued
by the commission requiring the
complainant, the A t'an tic Coast
Line Kail way company, to ^ive Conway
proper service. The tern porary
injunction papers were tiled in
Charleston and were served upon
the commission a few days aj^o.
The complaint of the railway
company sets out, in part, that if
the order of the railroad commission
were carried out requiring a train to
be put on between Conway to tbe
boundary line between North and
South Carolina "said order is arbitrary
and unreasonable in that,
among other things, said train
would be operated from Conway
without any connection whatever,
would have for its terminus a point
on the line of road from Conway to
Chad bourn, where there is no station
or other facilities for the discharge
of passengers and would offord
no means for passengers to be
transp irted beyond the limits of
Horry county, South Carolina,"
'and that said order as requiring a
train to be operated to the North
Carolina line only is unfair, unjust
and arbitrary and unreasonable and
the enforcement will deprive your
orator of its property without due
process of law; as a result of all
which an enforcement of said order
will result in great and irreparable'
damage and injury to your orator."
Tbe additional train was ordered
by the railroad commission after
hearing complaints from citizens of
Conway.
This will be Mr Lyon's first appearance
before Judge Prltohard in
some time.

up at the court houso last Monday
before Magistrates Daniel Grainger
and N Swuot. The case, however,
was not heard as it was finally continued
until some future date upon
the application of the plaintiff.
Toe proseodings were brought
under a Writ of Habeas Corpus by
John Rabon to try to get possession
of his throe children, Forney Rabon
Fmorson Uabon and jane Rabon,
the first named being thirteen years
of age and the last named li vo. Ho
soeks by his proceedings to take
theso children from his wife, their
mother, who for the past year has
been Hiving apart from him and
supporting thein, by her labor. ft.
seems that the man makes all sorts
of charges, as to the woman's char
acter. The woman alleges that he
refused to support -herself and
children, but on the other hand that

took her and the children to IJoardman,
N. C., something more than sv
year ago, and that she was so badly
treated and the children so destitute
of clothes that by the advice of some
of her people she returned into this
County and begun t > work for wages
for old Mrs Graham, an old lady on
who's place she obtained a h niso
She also states that h?r husband
would not send \h j children to
school when ho lived with her, bu'
that she insisted upon it an I went
into debt to got books for thoin and
sent thein for a few weeks only,
She sent the little boy to school last
week and they were all going this
week if it had not been for these
proceedings instituted by the father
When the case wascilled for trial
both sides represented by attorneys,
the Magistrates, according to their
usual ruiedotn indod that the plaintill
John Ribon, first pay the cost of
the case, and this lie was not able
to do, and more than an hour was
spent in t ying to make some satisfactory
arrangement between the
pirtiesand the court so as to arrange
a trial at some future date
without putting the woman to the
further expense af again bringing
her witnesses and he.r children t<
Conway. It was finally agreed
mat whenever the plaintiff paid the
Magistrate the cost money, the
Magistrate would then fix a time
for the trial and that the plaintiIT,
cr seme of his friends, would bring
the woman and the children down
to Conway at their own expense.
It was pitiful to see the children,
when the fact that their futher
was trying get them back again
was mentioned to them. The girl
would break into sobs and the little
boy was not much better. Those
who knew Mrs Uabon state that, she
is a very hard working woman, and
trying to obtain food and clothes
for her little ones. The pirties
live in the neighborhood of Cool
Spring in this county.

AN UNFORTUNATE CONDITION.
Average Term of Sclinol* In llorry
In Three MonttiH,
If we are ever to educate our people
to any eonsideramo extent, we
must lengthen our bol.ool term lie
the houses ever so eomfort.:\t)le, the
teachers ever so competent and the
attendance ever so laroe, a three
months term can never cducitc the
children beyond the rudiments
The last annual ronnrt of tin* it .
partment of education shows that
iloTy has H>7 schools in the country
ami two in the town. The country
schools are credited with an
average term of tw< Ive weeks?
three months. Including the town
schools the average term for the
countv is thirteen weeks. Of course
this does not mean that none of
your schools run more thin thirteen
weeks Many oT them have a much
longer term, hut at the same time a
hiroe per cent of them run less than
twelve weeks
This is an unfortunate condition j
[ and many p >ople in the richer counties
cannot understand it. i>ut
when we consider how few railroads, I
how few towns, how few manuf.icturinvJ
plants \ou have, and the low |
assessed valuation of property
ithroughout the State, the marvel is
that, you have done well
You have done a great deal hut.
you have barely crossed the borders.
You must now plunge in and possess
the whole d >nt lin .
At the last session of the General
Assi mbly the sum of $:2;),00 t was
appropriated to be diMmr.nd in

DOthl'Ilt uilt In (Mil Illy superintendents
till March. M uiyshort termed
schools had ulroad v el >&ed and many
more eloped before the patrons
knew aoiut the appropriation made
| to aid them. A mreat many Irus
lees and patrons who heard of the
appropriation did not understand
the terms on which it could be sieured
and consequently did not take
advantage of it Boss than
was dUbur&od before the clo>e of
scholastic year, But now the terms
I of tho act are becoming known and j
; applioatio ,s are pmrinu in. I feel
sure that the $Ji),000 will not be
MdVidnnt to meet the demands. Nob
every school that applies receives
aid. A number of applications have
boon turned down, because they
did not come within the terms of
the law and the i emulations of the
State board. But wherever a school
has shown that it is entitled to the
aid, undoi the law, and that tho
money would be used to lengthen
the term, aid b'?s been granted
The act provides t hat any school
who.-o proportion of the regain*
school fund is not sullioiont to ?*nn
the one hundred days or more may
receive aid. li.y regular school fund
is meant the !? mill constitutional
tax, poll tax, dog tax and dispensury
fund.
iieforo a school can rocoivc aid
the patrons must raise by "levy or
otherwise ' a sum e<pi il to half the
amount to be rcceiv. d from the
Slate. No school can receive more
than $100 That is, if *10 be raise i,
$20 may be received from the Stu* ;
i.'$20 be raised, $10 inav be iscoived;
if $.")() be raised, $100 u?av bo ?eeeived,
but not even if m ire than
$50 be raist (1 not more than $100
may be received from tlie Slu'e.
Tne money may be raised by voluntary
contributions or by spe-ial
I vy. If a district, has vo?cd a
special tax, and the patrons will
help thems Ives by raising a sum
and depositing It wiih the county
treasurer, the trustees may apply
for aid.
Kvery application must, state thvt
the sum raised has been deposited
with the trenswier, and it, must also
state that both the sum raised
and the sum asked from the State
will be used to pay teachers' salaries,
If a school lias only enough
money to run i . three months, and
the patrons will raise enough to
| pvy the teachers' s.d iry one m )uth
| the Stai/C will give enough to pay
j for two months more, and thus in*
utouil /if o I kiif.n !? ? .1 ??
i ouuiiii IN to uui iv (iiiai may
have a six monthV term.
If von desire your shire of the
112,000 now in I lie treasury, von
should ael (ju'ekly. The money is
paid out in order as the applications
I are received. First com i first served.
Of our.-o applications that
are received after the fund is exhausted
cannot he honored, unless
the general assembly renews the
I appropriation at its next session.
The lawmakers usually tfive the
people, what they demand. If the
people will u>e the present fund
wisely, and will lot their ropre
sentativos know that they desire
tho appropriai.ion renewed and increased,
I believe it will he done.
