Railroad and Paul Quattlebaum, Secretary of the Conway Board of Trade, in Which Conway is not Left a Single Hope to Tie To. Our Future Lies in a Road from Here to Southport and for this End We Should All Work Together in Unison. According to a notice which is being published iu the Marion county papers, au application has been made to the Secretary of State for the purpose of amending the charter of the North & South Carolina Rail^ way Co , so as to allow this cora pauy to extend its road bed a distance of about 25 miles leading from Mullins through Reaves and Leggett townships in Marion county to a point in Brittons Neck township in that county on the I'ee Dee river. - 1 ' - > -* v. Trio point at wuicn tni? ruuu n thriving is not far from Conway, though on the opposite side of Little Peo Dee from Conway. Nothing definite can be said as to their intention in taking the road from that p ;int, though it is well known that they do not intend to stop there. It is thought by many \hat the , road will cross the Pee Dee river and come on to Conway thus connecting Conwaj' with Seaboard and with trie many towns on its main line. It is thought that its road bed will bo extended on to George 0 town, running down Brittons Neck between the two rivers. People in j ^ Mullins state that the road will cer| tainly come to Conway. !A letter written by Mr Paul Quattlebaum to W R Bjnsal in regard to their intention, in reference to Conway, elicited the following reply, received by Mr Quattlebaum a mw days ago NORTH & SOUTH CAROLINA - RAILWAY CO.

W, Flagler vs. Atlantic Coast Lumber Corporation the question of the time limit set forth in a timber deed made by the plaintiff to the defendant, has come before the supreme court in the fol- j lowing manner: The timber deed in question contained the following clause in regard to the time within which the timber should be removed: "It is agreed that tho time limit of this conveyance asabove S3t forth shall be ten (10) years from the time coat the said Allan lie Coast Lumber Corporation begins cutting and wmmiin.r fhtt Rn.?H timber from tlie lands above described." It seems that at the time the suit was brought to set aside ihe deed made by Mr. Flagler, eleven years has passed and no attempt made by he lumber company during that time to cut and remove the timber. In the lower court, when the case eame on to bo hoard before the presiding judge, he dismissed the the complaint, and the c ase was not allowed to be passed upon by the jury which had been empanelled in the usual way. The plaintiff thereupon appealed to the supreme court, and that court held that as there was no definite time fixed in the deed itself within which the defendant should begin to remove the timoer, then the law was settled that this must be a reasonable time, and as only a jury is entitled to decide what was or is a reasonable time, the supreme court has sent the case back to the lower court for a new trial so that the jury may pass upon the case and say what would be a i , > i t 1 1 1 n W ll I f'll fihl1. 1 U(*fUiJUUii: Ul UJVj n IVIII" ?. Uefendant should begin tho cutting and removing of the timber, and of course if the period of eleven years from the date of the deed, which has already passed, would, in the minds of the jury, make a reasonable time within which they should have commenced to cut, and that the ten year limit has passed by the default of the defeudaut lumber company, of course the plaintiff will win his suit, and the defendant lumber company would not be entitled to the timber. There is no telling how long it will be before the case can come up again in the lower court, be tried, and again taken to the Supreme court for a final decision, which will settle the matter; but when all of vihis is done, many options and contracts in this county will be easy to construe, and the law in regard to one point at least will have been settled. Court of Rejerence. J. N. Jenrette acted as referee last Thursday in two civil court cases, which are pending under orders of reference, one case entitled Geo, J Holliday vs. John Johusou, and the other the same Plaintiff vs. H. N. Sessions and others, both cases being for the foreclosure of mortgages. Clerk of Court W. P. Bryan was the referee appointed in each of the cases, and in his absence, the testimony was taken by Mr, Jenrette by agreement of counsel on both sides in each of the cases. Some witnesses were sworn in each of them, but the most of the evidence is documentary in its nature. In the Sessions ease there is involved a lot at Home wood, and several lots in or near the Town of Conway, The defendant had owned the lot at HomewOod containing six and one half acres. He conveyed it away in twodffferent pavce s,and it turned out that the mortgage to the Plaintiff had beeu made and recorded before the other conveyances had been placed on record, except as to one parcel of two and eight tenths acres conveyed by him to Mrs. Hadley, and as to this parcel it was found that the mortgage of the plaintiff wotfld not hold. One of the lots in Conway is claimed by Sam Williams, but the mortgage of the Plaiutiff was made and recorded before the execution of the deed to Williams. The case will likely come up later in the higher court, and be argued by the attorneys on the questions arisA King Who Left Home set the world lo talking, but Paul Mathulka, of Buffalo, N Y., says ho alwaj s KEEPS AT HOME the King of all Laxatives?Dr King's New Life Pills?and that they are a bless ing to all his family.
