Js..that of Re-Indexing Old
T Records in Clerk's Office.
WILL BE ACONVENIENGE.
Tl-e Legislature Has Made Provisions
to Have Some Old Records in the
Clerk of Court's Office Re-Indexed,
But So Far Nothing Has Been Done
Toward Carrying Out the Law?The
Matter Is Up to You, Mr Clerk.
^ An important matter, which
sh uld be brought before the proper
authorities, is the indexing of the
old records in the Clerk of Court's
office, under the act which was passed
at a recent session of the Legislature.
The grand j iry recommended
the work to be uone, and as a result,
the delegation passed the act,
under which the work might be done
without delay It was considered
important because the old books
were becoming worn, some of the
i a. 1 . i. ?: .1; ? : u~..
iuuvt5"s turn, uuu iuch uuuui nun
coming worse and worse as time
went on, and yet no move has been
made to get the work started, The
work comprehends, as we understand
it, the reindexiug of all the
older records, under the proper
heads', and in fewer and more comprehensive
books. The work when
completed, will bo appreciated by
the attorneys, but the greater bene
fit will accrue to the citizen, who so
often, does not employ an attorney
to look up his records, but undertakes
to do this himself. Tt will bo
simpler, and much easier to make a
search. Those whose duty it is to
put this act into effect and ha/e the
work started, should wait no longer.

It appears that Don Cupid, the
God of Dove will now and then pla.v
pranks on the human heart which
often result in making confusion
worse confounded. In this respict
he entirely disregards the rules and
custom-? of convention, and blazes
out away for himself in order to
oring two hearts which to all inents
and purposes were as far a
part as the poles to beat together in
unison. He laughs at all obstacles
vnd bushes aside as so many llimsy
cobwebs the entmglements of the
aw whenever and wherever they
come i.- contact with his supreme
?. diets.
An incident, happening here with
in our midst, is a forceful illustration
of the power and dominion of
'he mischievous little Gad in the
Kingdom of Love. Jt is doubtless
iresh in the memory of the readers
of the Herald that a year or so ago
an apparent prosperous and well-tod)
merchant on one of the sidings
of the Wilmington, Cbadbourn &
Conway Railroad, mortgigid his
property, and one lovely night skipped
by the light of the moon with
another man's wife, and Med to parts
unknown, leaving behind the wife
of his bosom and the deserted husband
and numerous creditors to
mourn his untimely departure.
The husband ot the fl eing wife followered
to Florida and there all
iraces of the absconding couph
were lost, and the much tangleo
threads of love could not be again
caught up and so the pursuit was
abandoned. After remaining in tht
band of Flowers for something ovei
a year, the repining husband returned
to his home in Horry and soon
after returning sought a balm
for his Ucer&'ed heart and wounded
tnd aiT atio s in the company of the
wife of the man who hid "vamoosed
the lanch" the result was that he
took her to the beautiful land of
the ragrant orange blossom ben ^at<the
Fountain of Perpetual Youth,
where they are now living as man
and wife. All's well that ends wel.

Baptist Meetings.
The series of meetings at the Conway
Buptist Church, were in progress
last week, aud are being continued
during this week Dr. Furman
II. Martin, of Virginia, is
preaching at these meetings, and
his po verful sermons are doing
great good in the Master's cause.
This is not the lirst time that his
services have been secured by tue
denomination in Horry County, as
he was here several times before in
revival meetings. Many friends of
Dr. Martin remember him, when as
a young youihful convert he was
converted at Paulev Swanm church.
His ability as a preacher of the Gospel
cu d him to other fields where
during the years the Master has
blessed his work. He has grown in
power and influence, and Horry is
proud of him as a son. Those within
reach should not f-il to attend
these mee ings.
Box Supper.
There will be a box supper at

The S^uth Carolina Legislature is

Keep Horry in the front ranks. We
trust that the members of the Legislature
will again lookout for the
rural schools. It seems that our
colleges always have friends enough
to secure them liberal appropriations,
but our common schools are
somewhat neglected. Clemson college
gets something like a quarter
of a million dollars annually from
the fertilizer tax. and 1 think it
would be justice and equity to divide
this lax equally between Clemson
and the rural schools over our
State. Would like for this question
to be discussed by all of our correspondents.
