up*?n the improvements being made
at Myrtle Beach, where the Messrs
St John & Son have taken charge of
the Myrtle Beach Hotel. Since
their assuming charge of the hotel
many improvements have been made
-? f J
and almost every day some new iue?|
has been thGu^ht out by the ujautigers,
something to improve the service
and popularize it in the minds
of the public. <3f one thin# the public
can rest assured, the managers
have es.ablished a high standard of
Children's Day at Union Church.
The congregation of Union church
is very much indebted to Mrs A. M.
Dusenbury and Miss Grace Haselden
for the beautiful and varied program
which was rendered on last
* Sunday, June 18ih, in celebrating
* Childrens Day.

with ferns, raosser, garlands and
flowers. In the center of the church
was a large banner bearing this inscription:
"Childrens Day Our Day"
Long before the hour for opening,
the church was filled to overflowing.
The congregation being seated, the
school marched in and took their
places around the organ and sang:
^ "We give you a welcome today."
The opening exercises were conducted
by Mr J. F. Harper, the
superintendent. Following is the

I suspect that within the next
week or two you will be putting the
top dressing of soda to your corn.
Tne contributions to encourage you
to grow two bushels of corn where
one grew are very good this year.
Not only the business men are con
tributing, one of Horry s progressive
farmers bas made a handsome
contribution.
If you are using any grades of
guano made by the Combahee Fertilizer
Co., the McMurphy, formerly
Willcox & Gibbs Co,, or Ashepoo
Fertilizer Co., don't make any
changes. These guauo companies
are uoiog an extensive business in
this county and have received letters
from them expressing their
willingness to give one or two tons
of their 8-4 4 corn guano to the boy
who raises the most corn by us'rig
their guano. If you could win a
ton of 8-4-4 guano, you would be in
good shape for the race next year.
The Combahee fertilizer is sold by

I hope all you boys are planning]

The case of the United States
against Henry C Lundy was called
in the United Stat ?s court in the
federal building, at Charleston on
last Thursday morning, the defendant
represented by Robt B Scarborough
and B. Wofford Wait, of
the Con way B ir.
The trial of this case carried to
Charleston quite a crowd of Conway
citizens, among them some of the
most prominent socially aud otherwise.
Among the number noted in
Charleston, either as witnesses or
spectators, wore B G. Collin?, A
T Collins, M. W. Collins, N T
and A. P. Johnson, Prank Tnouipson.
Dr W E. McCord, W. L Richardson,
R. W, Lane, VV. D. Lawrimore.
C. E Barker, A. C, Tnompson,
John Holt, C. P. Quatilebuum
and the defendant was in the city
accompanied by his father and
throe brothers. J T. P. octor was
a member of the grand jury. J. W.
Little of the Georgetown Lumber
Co., was one of the petit jurors empanelled
to try the Lundy case.
The jury was obtained without
any delay, there being one or two
challenges on the part of the defense
and none at all on the part of
the United Slates. Tne case was
tried before the newly appointed
district judge, II. A. M. Smith.
The tirst witnesses sworn were
the three post cilice inspectors, G. !
M. Brown, J. S. Lennon and H. P. I
Holliday, who had worked up the j
case from the beginning
H. P. Holliday was tho first!
sworn. He did not go to Conway |
at hrst, for the reason that ho had.
harm in t.ha ("Inn WAV nffi hofore and
was known. Inspectors Brown and
Lenuon went and registered at the
hotel under assumed names. The
principal portion of Holliday's testimony
was concerning the confession
of H. C. Lundy. He told how, after
the marked bills had been obtained
at the Bank of Horry, he
with the two other inspectors went
iuto the pos to thee and searched both
the postmaster and H. C. Lundy
the assistant postmaster, in an ef
fort to find the third marked $5 00 '
oill which had been taken. He |
stated that both the postmaster and
Lundy deniod taking the money and
ueiiher of them were put under arrest,
and all of the persons concerned
went to supper. After ho had
been in bed, he was awakened by a
knock on the door and Lundy came
into his room and stated he had
come to own it up. Ho told him to
wait until the following morning.
H nllidav had made un a reirist.ernd I
? ? ? ? r~ ? ?
letter at Mars B:uiT signed by J.
i?li Gregg & S:>n and addressed to
C. 0. Osborne at Myrtle Boach, at
the same time one was sent to Burlaw
containing $50.00. These letters
were carried down on the night
of May 4 h by inspector Lennon and
the letters were placed into the
post ofli3e by L. G. Cannon, the
postal clerk on the train. The letter
addressed to C. C. Osborne at
Myrtle Beach was robbed of three
of the bills and two of those bills
were obtained at the bank just after
Ft . C Lundy had been soon by inspector
U. M. Brown crossing the
street with money in his hand. This !
was evidently the same time that
he went to the bank to take up the
orders.
After Holliday had been sworn,
Brown and Lennon were both sworn.
Brown told about watching the mail
pouch all the way to Myrtle Beach
and how he called for the Osborne
letter and opened it in the presence
of postmaster Booth and found
three of the $5 00 marked bills missing.
The two marked bills wete
obtained from the bank by the inspector
before Brown went over to
Myrtle Beach to see if the letter was
short.
All of the inspectors were present
the Saturday morning wheu the
written confession was muie and
signed by H. C Lundy. Inspector
Lennon was sworn and his testi
monyconnected up what had already
been told by the other inspectors.
When the point relating to the
confession was first reached, the
defendant objected and the jury was
sent from the room until the point
was settled by* the Judge. The
Judge ruled the confession admitable
and the jury was brought back.
A.T. Collins, the postmaster was
sworn, and stated that he was in
the oflice at about 12 o'clock on May
4th aud received the test letter from
L. G Cannon and receipted him for
it. He locked up the test letter in
