Notwithstanding that the Weather Had Been Bad for Some Days and Mud and Slush Were Everywhere, Fun und Frolic Were Enjoyed by Both Old and Young. Christmas Day passed off at Conway in much the usual way, and aside from a few minor disturoances caused by tne too-free use of intoxicants there was nothing to mar tne peace and quietude of Christinas and Christmas Eve. Oa Saturday one or two meu, uuder tbe influence of wniskey, got to talking too loudv-jP ly and making some other manifestations of disorderly conduct, and they were locked up by the officers and placed where they would not longer disturo the peace of th *> streets Oa tne hill some of the negroes got too much liquor and in a cutting affray waich took place in couscquence, one or two of them was oadiy used up with a sharp knife. One of them was carved up to such an exieut that it was found j necessary to bring him down town to a doctor where his wounds were dressed. Most of the stores were closed. Some of them were opeu for very brief intervals through the day. The amount oi ure wuina udoviujed reached larger proportions perhaps than for several Christmas days past. The cement sidewalks in the maiuj business section of the town were literally strewn with the remaius of lire crackers, skyrockets Hainan candles. In the residence section of the town, the small boys kept up the fusilade throughout the day. and until long into the hight. Alter the supply laid in on last Saturday had been used up, new supplies were obtained at the stores and they returned to the ''Charge of the Light Bridge." A body of the larger ^rnaii uoys of the town banded together witn drums and tin horns, and other noiiday utensils ana went .irom place to pmce, ou {Saturday night aau Monday, enjoying oiie in selves as only small uo.vs cm, and serenading their little fri nds. On Saturday night it is said that some of the larger people joined in tnis fun. Tne weather which had been bad for some lime, remained so throughout the yule-tide. There were showers of ra\n on Saturday, and on Monday the sity remained dark and it was rather cold and raw. The streets of the town were just in the process of rebuilding with clay and sand, and the frequent travel over tliem during the week of bad weather, resulted in making them worse than the country roads, Owners of automobiles were slow to bring out machines, and those who travelled about the streets, complained of the mud and other annoyances due to the rains. . O 1 the whole ih6dny was enjoyed ft much in Conway, there were many visitors to the town during Monday and Saturday. STATE OP SOUTH CAROLINA, County of Horry. Court of Common Pleas. J. M.
