LITTLE HOPE JFOR CONWAY
The Result of a Correspondence Be^
tween W. R. Bonsai, of the N. & S.
C. 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.

to their intention, in reference to
Conway, elicited the following reply,

was the sou of R. B. and Mrs. Catherine
Nichols, now of Conway, S. C.

continued faithful in his Christian
life. In the Church at Conway he
was regularly in his place for worship
and service. On July 20, 1911,
while bathing in the ocean at Myrtle
Beach he made the heroic and
successful effort to save the lives of
his two sisters, but exhausted fell
back into the restless waters whence
his soul returned to God who gave
it. His young life so full of promise
is thus transplanted to the glory

JDAY, AUGUST 3, 1911.
Constructions of Timber Options.
In the case of A. 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
