The Much Confused Condition in Reference to Holding Court is About to be Settled and we will Probably Have Both Civil and Criminal Courts Bc^ ginning Monday, April 3rd. U has Been a Dear Experience to Horry. On last Tbur&day morning Clerk W L Bryan, received froni Chief Justce, Ira B Jones, the following order: TIIE STATE OF SOUTH CAROLINA. It appearing that Honorable J. C. Klugh, Judge of the 8oh Circuit, because of illness, is unable to bold the court of Common 1: icas for Horry County, commencing April 3rd, 1911, to which he was regularly assigned, it is ordered that Hon T. S. Sease, Judge of the 7th Circuit, who will be then disengaged, hold said court of Common Hleas for Horry County in place of Judge Klugh. Ira B Jones, Chief Justice. March 2l9t, 1911. Tne clerk was consulted as to whether he had advised the drawing of the jurors, for a Civil term of the court. He stated that he had done so, and this difficulty would be obviated. It would be remembered tuat some weeks ago at the request of Solicitor Wells, Governor Blease ordered a special term of tbe court of General Sessions, to be beld on April 3rd, the same day date fixed for the holding of the Civil Court, provided for in the above order. The members of the bar upon receipt of the order from Chief Justice Jones, held a meeting and decided to set forth the situation regarding this conflict, in a petition to the Chief Justice, with a copy to Governor Olease, and that Judge T. S. Sease, who is to hold the Civil Court be recommended and appointed to hold the special term of the Criminal Court, after the civil court should be adjourned. The members of the bar decided that no civil casea can be tried, and no civil jury cases will be prepared. Tne only busiuess . that will be transacted in the Court of Common Pleas, will be the taking of orders, uncontested matters, and equity cases, none of which require a jury. This is ihe way the matter now stands in so far as the Herald is informed. Those wbo have been bound over co Court, will have to appear here on April 3rd. A day or two ago, the bar association 'received from Chief Justice Jones, the copy of an order signed b" him and transmitted to the Clerk 01 Court, authoriz'ng Judge T S. Sease to hold special term of the court of General Sessions, at the conclusion of the business for the civil court. It was already understood among the members of the bar that only uncontested matters would he taken up in the common pleas, . ?yfod ao this cannot take up more than a day or two, the business of the criminal court will proceed at least by au early hour on Tuesday. The order from the Chief Justice stated that Governor Blease had been requested tc amend his former order so that the special term of the criminal court ordered by the Governor could begin after the adjournment of the Common Pleas court. All witnesses, parties and jurors, and the grand jurors, so far as we are :nformed, will have to be on vhand at the usual hour on Monday _J^toorning April Khl, although may (be possible that tl.e criminal court will not open until later in the day, and may be not until Tuesday morning. A Fight With Death. An accident on the river one day last week, came near costing the liyos of fwo of our best itizens. Messrs M G and Ole Anderson were ' 4pn the river in a row boat going to -fyhe site of the new plant of George1 town Luxber Company, when D H Ru38, running a gasoline boat came up with them. The two men in the row boat had no notice of the approach of the motor boat until it was on them. The whistle was not blown and no other signal or noise was heard. The motor boat run into the row boat. Mr M G Anderson was thrown out, but Ole Anderson managed so stay out of the water by hanging on to the bow of the motor boat until he could get clear. By diving Mr M G Anderson passed down under neath the gasoline boat and came up clear and swam ashore He was painfully bruised, several ribs having been sprained and almost broken. It was quite an cx* citing time for those immediately conoerned. 5 1 ' F M Parker was in Conway last Thursday, mrnm i i i - .i in . ?i Death of Henry Roberta. | On the morning of the- 13th of March. Uncle Henry Roberts died et his home in Dog Blutf township. He was probably the oldest man in , this section, behaving gotten con-1 siderably on the wrong side of 87 years All was^done for him that loving hands ancl kind hearts could do, but could not stay the icy bands of death His mortal remains were interred at the Rehoboth cemetery in the presence of a Jsrg* crowd of sorrowing relatives and meads. He was known throughout the county as "Uncle Henry" a term of endearment, which, with itself indicates tho love of th^se who knew his inner and better self. The puri tyofhis private life combined with his military genius makes him a hero equal to Napolian Uncle Henry served bis country with honor in t.?.vo wars?the Mexican, and last marched under the stary flag of Southern Independence, of which he delighted in rehears5 ng, and fought them over and over in his mird till the last, and was referred to by him as the "Lost Cause." He was never promoted to any high office, but was ever ready to serve with the faithful soldiers who bore the blunt of the battle. These men, GxJ * - % # 1 A ^ 1 i Diess mem, never iauereu unuer the leadership of their Chieftain, when they knew ? "That their flag with mortal stain, Would never float iu Southern breeze again." Between the wars he lived with his family in Dog Bluff township and successfully adapted himself to farming and production of turpentine. He was twice married. In early life he married Miss Eliza Lane She and all of their children preceded him to the grave. His last wife was Miss Rebecca Skipper, who with a ho3t of distant relatives and sorrowing friends survive him In hi3 last days he expressed the greatest confidence as to his being batter off after death, and hoped that death would soon come and relieve him of his pain which was very greet He has fought a good fight and kept the faith. "The dead must neet the dead, While the living o'er them weep, And the men by Lee and Stonewall led, And the hearts that once togeth-1 er bled, Together still shall sleep." C. H, Spivey.
