T vo cases of arson occurred recently in the (Tali van ts Ferry section. Property of Mr DA Huggins was destroyed by lite each time. The first. burnir g took place on the night of December 7ih, while Mr Huggins was away from home. On thai occasion the packing house, six stacks of fodder, a quantity of corn and si me other articles belonging to Mr lluggins were totally destroyed '1 he st colic lire took place on DecemItr 21st, when some more buildings and property belonging to the same owner were distroyed in like manner. On the morning after the lirst lite a son ot Mr 1!uggins went to the icsident of a negro named P. auk Davis to make some inquiries in.-, e..#. ... .1 ti... UWU I, iuu iiiu, anvi ini; V/UIJYCIdatlUli which took place caused the negro to be suspected of burning the prore ty, and he was arrested. Witnesses testified to two lines of tracts appearing in scnne ploughed land in ttie field, one line leading toward the house that was burned, and the other leading away. Frank Davis admitted that he was iu the field at 8 o'clock to run cut a cow that had gotten across the fence, and it appears that the lire took place a little after 8 o'clock . The warrant was lirst sworn out before Magistrate Holt, of Dulivunts Ferry, but the cases were transferred from him to Conway, and an investigation was held by Magistrate Sweet on Wednesday of last week, the defendant was represented by Hon li 13 Scar^ borough and the plaintiff by 11 11 Woodward, Fsqr. After hearing testimony and careful consideration Uie Magistrate bound Davis over to court. It is stated that Frank Davis had been closed out by Mr (3 J Holliduy under a crop lien and the place whore Davis lived was rented to Mr Muggins, The buildings destroyed in tue first fire were under mortgage to Mr ilolliday, while the iodcter and corn belonged to Mr Jluggins. Tlus is the only motive I that can be shown in the case Several other negroes were arrested charged with causing Ihesecond ffre abovo mentioned, and sumo of them turned Slate s evidence charging Waller Davis with the crime, and in constquenco of this Walter Davis has also ueen arrested but there has not been any hearing as 3'et in his ease, Hoggins is a reliable, industrious farmer who moved into this county from Marion 0110 yesr ago, and he has no enemies whatever in l.nat neighborhood, unless it be the negroes who are charged with the burning. The whole community is very much incensed over the allair. ? ? Saved at Death's Door, The door of death sterned ready to open for Murray VV, Ayers, ol Transit U.idgeN.

Come on young ladies ^ and gentlemen and lets have a jolly Kood time. The proceeds will he us C ed for the purpose of continuing school longer or other improve- 1 ments. Now, Mr Editor, I would like to u give a few observations about my recent visit over in Burcol and Soc- \ astee during theCbristmaa holidays. A person who is farming or doing I any other kind of public work seldom experiences pleasure equal to ^ this of which I shall endeavor to tell. The writer of this article seldom has the opportunity of visiting out in the various parts of the State and county on account of his work, k but this being Christmas times, wo were allowed some vacation, and \ we slipped oil' to make a trip down to Burcol and Socastec On this trip we met with some great enter- 1 prises and also a few dilliculties owing to the disagreeable weather, li The trip was made in company with / Prof Stephen Bucks, whose parents t reside in Socastec. Mr Bucks is a s well known citizen of this county t and is one of Horry's most promi- t: nent young school teachers. He al- s so delighted in a little outing and v was particularly glad to make this i trip, and especially on an occasion like this to visit his loved ones at v h r\m o woo a f K i # 4-/-v I uuuiv/i * ui^i u nuj l/l< |JI U" i I vent us from getting the full bene- f lit of our trip and we did it. t On our arrival at the depot at t Burcol we met with some disap- c pointment owing to the rainy weather. We rushed forth to seek a place f of safety that we might Ilee to during the stormy hours. On our way we met Mr Parker Rabon, who invited us up to his father's residence, '! Mr David Rabon, who took us in and cared for us in time of distress. Mr Rabon is one of Uureel's most industrous farmers. We dined at J bis home on Christmas day and all the good eatables that were necessary to satisfy the inner man was placed before us and we just had to eat. His doors seemed to be wide s open for visitors and it appears that > they do all that is possible to make visitors enjoy themselves. After we t had bid them all good bye and had 1 reached the gate, Misses Edith and i Leila Rabon invited us to turu back r and have some fruit with thein for 1 j a Christmas gift?and of course we did so. /he kindness that was shown i us by all the family will long be re- i mem bored. Mr Parker Raoon took us on down to Socastee. ( When we reached Mr Huck's : home tbey met us at the door and * for a moment they paused and a soft c sweet smile swept over their faces, \ but when they learned that it was their dear brother they received him * with gladness and gratification. 1 t was invited in and introduced to s the family. We remained at the \ home of Mr Hucks for about two f days with the exception of making \ a few short visits to other good 1 homes in the neighborhood.

The attention of the roaders of this paper is called to tho advertisement of Conway Savings Bank appearing in this issue. This institution which has been mentioned in these columns several times lately as being one of tho new branches of the Bank of Conway. The management of this new institution state that the savings department of this bank will be pushed inoro than ever and business will be transacted on a strictly sound basis and alwavs with an oye to the accommodation and pleasure of its customers, By reference to the advertisement in another column it will be seen that the directors of the savings bank are J, A. McDermott, D. Al. Burroughs, Hal L. Buck, A T. Collins, \V. K. Lewis, B C. Collins I). A. Spivey, John C. Spivey and \V. I*. IfardwicKo. Every one ol these are well known business men and they have been connected with tho larger business alTairs of the town for very many years, and the fact that they are connected with the new bank should give tho institution a high rating from tho beginning. 1) A. Spivey is President Hal L. Buck, Vice-President and VV. P. llaidwicko Cafhior. The Cashier is comparatively a young man, but his business qualities and his obliging and accommodating disposition has in tho past won many friends for the Bank. The new institution could not have a better man for Cashier. Four per cent paid every six months, that is, the interest will bo compounded at six months intervals. Any deposit will be accepted from $1 01) upwards. The Bank is located in thesamo building and occupies the same rooms as the Bank of Conway oi igiually did, but there is something said about a cnange which wi.l be made soon in the interior, giving the cashier and tellers more room in which to work. A good savings bank is a good thing in any community and carries the idea of s-aving the pennies so that the dollars will take care of themselves. Customers of the Bank of Conway may rest assured that they have a safe depository in Conway Savings Bank which is but a branch of the old institution, rioydft S. S. Convention.
