About two weeks agi, two Davi3 boys were arrested, and an attempt was mAdo to take their older brother, who is named R M Davis or Dob Davis, but he escaped. The two that were arrested were given a prelia.iuary hearing at Tabor and with the result that one was sent up to Whiteville j id, and the other made bond for his appearance. On Monday of last week Ii M Davis was arrested and delivered to thoauthorities by Magistrate G M Fowler who thereby won the reward which had been offered for him by the citizens of Tabor.

Editor Horry Iieiuld: Will you give loo space in your paper for a short reply to Mr Goo. Dickson In an article suppled to Ur...-. ll. iiuvc uceu writUMi UV III ill 111 the Horry ilcrald of thjlTih iust. 1 urn advertising this process for making homo fertilizer in both of our couuty papers and I stand ready to prove every assertion made in those advertisem:mos, although this adept in agricultural experiments to the couirary. This secret process ha speaks of was patented November 19th, 1901, by M. M. Lipps, of HlutT City, Tenn., and the right to make and u-e only on one's own farm is given in the manuals sold by the owners of the territory. I have the county right for Horry county conveyed to mo by owner of this State and any one dosirous of seeing same can do so. I havo sold a number of these manuals in Horry county aud it has been tried by our farmers and they stand ready to testify to its merits. I have the names of those farmers who have tried it aud will furnish them to any one who really wants information on the subject. I am desirous of obtaining a copy of those leading agricultural papers that advertise Lipps process for making fertilizer a fake, so much so. ? 1 that a suitable re vard for time and expenditures will be given by this fellow referred to in Dickson's article that ho says is gono iuto the farmer skinning game. What reader of the Herald or any other paper of any note, whatever, has ever seen an invention protected by United States patent exposed as a fraud? Ah, you never have nor never will, for they are not frauds, as eserv one knows that are iuformed on how patents are obtained. I have been using this fertihzer, myself, for the last three years instead of the all powerful commercial and when I went iuto skinning the farmers I believed so much in it that I skinned myself with them and expect to skin again next year. Mr Dickson, you had better investigate this advertiser and see who and what he is or you will not bo in position to protect the agricultural classes you seem to stand for. But this noiso about fakes and frauds is not the trouble, for 1 challenge you, Mr Dickson, or any one else to piove this a fraud, J can prove its merits and therefore make the challenge. Dear reader while this article to which 1 refer was written to serve its purpose it will not do it. Home fertilizer made by this process is being used more and more aud 1113 friend cannot stop its process. Here is the trouble: Anxiety is being felt in commercial fertilizer circles and something must bo dune to stop home manufacturing. Thosp who are much interested could not afford to tight it openly but where a man supposed to be a practical farmer can be used as the cats paw to pull the chestnuts out of the lire, then it might accomplish its purpose without its hands b<i.ug seen at all. If any more is wanted on this subject let it come. J. M . Dor man, Couway, S.C., U F. D. 1, Box 41). Oct 15th, 1901) Toddvillc Tidiitirs. Editor Herald:?We have read the interview of Col Spivey in last, week's issue of the Herald relative to securing an agent of the Farm Demonstration Work in our county, It was indeed a very happy thought of Senator Spivey who is always alert tp the interest of Horry and for anything that tends to up-build the county and improve her citizens The Farmer's Union should by all means co-cperate with him in endeavoring to secure this Bureau. It means much not only to every farmer but to every business interest of the county. The tiovorr.ment, as we understand it, pays for the agent, and our State Agricultural Bureau works in harmony with it. It is working elsowhero. Why not Horry have her place in the picture? The cotton crop of our section is somewhat short this season, but the. prices now prevailing more than compensates for the shortage. While the potato and pea err.]) has been cut short by the drought, our farmers are in line shape and in good spirits. The indications are that the tobacco crop will be increased next season.

This firm together with J O Rhodes and some of the other members, tor several years past, has been engaged in expensive litigation with Mr .J 1) Graham, formerly of this county, but now of the State tf Florida, lieforo the Rhr?de? hn<-i. ness was started at Loris, Mr Graham was untaxed there in the mercantile business while J G Rhodes was engaged in business in Florida with a partner, under the lirm natnc and style of Knight & Rhodes. Mr Graham decided to move to Florida and made a trade whereby he got possession of ihobusinessof Kn.^ut & Rhodes, and the mercantile business at Loris was sold to J G Rhodes & Son. Aficr this Mr Graham stated that he had been injured in the trade and toon after started suit against Mr Rhodes to cancel the trade. Several cases grew out of the controversy, and they are still pending in the Court of Common Pleas at Conway.

Settlement of Base Bull Question Editor Herald:?I again noticed in your paper an article in regard to the ball game at Saleui. It seeuis us if this matter cannot bo satisfactorily settled, but, in this, (I reckon, my last article) I wi&h to state some facts in regard to the said game. You wdl notice that Mr Watson I says again that we did not have a I game, while you may notice that i | say again mm wo uiu have a game. He also suvs that the umpire began play.eg to his rules and in that he is mistaken. If ho is alluding 10 those strikes that the umpire < xplaincd in the beginning of the g ime 1 wish to refer him to rule 41), section 3 in Spuldings ofliei A base ball guide of 1901), Mr Watson also says that when they asked him to explain that part of the ^amo, he threatened to expell them from the grounds but he is again mistaken. He did say to their first baseman, Mr Charlie O Neill, that if he said anything more against his um piring ho would expul him from the game and not the team from the grounds. You will notice that he again says we started to play a game on the. second and thii d and the Salem 'boys knows nothing about the game started on the second. On the third was the day when the game was played. He says again they mado two scores, but 1 cannot say whether they did or not. but if they did, they did not give them in to our scorer, and if they had they would not have been counieu as tney were made on an uneven inning Salem went to 1 lie | bat twice in which they made six scores. Tilly Swamp went, to the bat twice in which the} rral? none. Tilly Swam]) was at tie bat the third time when the second scores] wero made, which was an uneven inning. Now, in conclusion 1 wish to sav that if the Tilly Swamp boys over comedown this way on Saturday evenings they are cordially invited to play ball with us and I ant sure the Salem boys will treat them gentlemanly if they will but act the same. Very respectfully, Everett Watts, Jr. Lecture at Warn pee. Editor Herald: I'louto announce through the columns of your paper that there will bean illustrated lecture on Astronomy at tho Wampee school house on Tuesday evening, November 2nd, 1901), to which the public is cordially invited. The lecture will be given under the auspices of the Wampee School Improvement Association, and delivered by Prof Morton Colcoch, assisted by Prof A. 0 Carson, both of the University of South Carolina. Prof Colcoch is a very eminent lecture, having lectured in various parts of this and other states. Prof Carton, also, is a noted a-troncmor and physicist, having studied in several of the great universities ol the north. The lecture will be a rare treat for the people of Horry and every one should avail himself of the 00portuniiy. '1 he lecture will consist of description, explanations and information in general, of the moon, planets, sun and stars with a number of illustrations showing various phases of the moon, such as its high mountains, etc Saturn with its ring?*, diverse scenes on the sun, including sun spots, hvdiotreri ilm-i 1 "O "" es leaping thousands of miles per second, from iho crurnosphero and finally the whole solar system with all the planets revolving in their orbits around the sun. We are very fortunate, indeed, in , securing these gentlemen and we! are glad to be able to invite the the public to hear such distinguished speakers. This will be their first appearance in this county but we sincerely hope that thov may be so1 impressed with the county and her people that this will not be their, last visit in our midst. liy no means an undesirable feiture of the evening will be the serving of nice fresh oysters, which will j be very palatable, indeed, to those, who like them and those who have! never liked them before will like them if they tr> some nice fresh ones. These will be serv. d hot immediately after the lecture and will be very delighiful and refreshing after a visit to the realms of the distant stars, t * dUt Sf IV Gathered hy a Herald Man on His Hounds.
