A Suit for $1,100,00 IlaoBeen Docket. 1 cd Against Steve John by Steven J Kaslov, and the End in Not inSight.' ^ Last Thursday Steven Kaslov, ? one of the Russians living near the ? Horry Tobacco Warehouse, filed t suit in the court of Common Plea* a here, against Steven John, the old f Gypsy, and the father of a large t tribe, to recovor the sum of $1100, a 00 which the complaint alleges tho t plain till loaned to tho defendant in 1 Wilmington, N. C , while the band b was at that place in last December, c The plaiutilT liled with tee clerk of tho court, the required bond, and ? issued a warrant of attachment t against the property ofStevon John, t and under this warrant the sheriff of the county seized four horses, two d wagons, tents, and other belongings u of the deflndant. In tho course of V another case which was issued o against the same person some time a ago, and an account of which appeared in these columns, quantities h of gold bars were found in Steven ei John's tent, as well as gold and * silver money. In tho levy of tho warrant last Thursday, none of this a< gold was found, or it would of been ei seized by the officer. Steve John a was iu a rage when the officers went ol to his place with the warrant of at- o tachinent, and he finally agreed to si let the officers have all he had, even tl his daughters to be taken, if they a: wanted them. Sievo John's sons P were down town when the sheriff r< went to levy the writ, but a Gypsy $5 boy on a bycieie, quieldy spread the si news, and all gathered at ine camp, c< carrying on an exciting conversation in their own tongue. Attorneys and officers in Wilmington areaware of the facts out of which this last ? claim arises. Whe i Steve John and his band were in Wilmington last December, tne authorities in d Little Rock, Ark , where Steve had y been indicted for perjury, by & b grand jury, succeeded 01 getting a re- ei quisition for Sieve, and the warranb o was sent to the sheriff in Wilining- vv ton by one of the deputies from $ Little /Rock. An attorney for ths 4 Gypsies tried to get Steven loose under a writ of Hibeas Corpus from q t-ho Chief Justice of the Supreme o Court at Raleigh. Sieve had p'acod S( one thousand dollars in the bauk in Wilmlng'.on to stand go )d in the h case, and in the mean tune the at- p torney in Raleigh wired the officers to bring Steve John to Raleigh with the sum of $1000 00 to be used a3 a r( bond, if needed, and the sum of y( $100 00 to pay the expenses of the p, sheriff for transportation etc., f( Steven John lacked the maney and e, applied to Steven Kislov who agreed -to loan it to hira with the under g< standing that the money would be C( returned as soon as the one thousand a dollars was released from the bank, or if not repaid in that way, then to v SCOUU iii tirs 5UU1I an ua wuiu uuiuinunicate with his son, Finally the sj writ of Habeas Corpus was dismissed t| the authorities al LiHle Rock agreed to take the one thousand dollars ^ that had been olaced in the bank, j, and the $1100 00 which Store John had of Kaslov's mouey was not n needed. Still it is alleged that he Ir would not repay the money, and has $ still refused to pay it, hence the suit tiled last Thursday It is stated ^ that the perjury charge at Little ^ Rock, Ark., will be called for trial j, on the first Monday in March, and ^ t StevoJohn will have to appear there ^ or his bond will be forfeitted, and he will still be subject to arrest on the same indictment by the authorities from that city.

While you dia not have as fine a /ariety as some counties which have <ivon careful attention for several rears to seed selection rou came nit abreast with any county in the State in production. Wuen your report of your crop /as published in The State paper ith the reports from other counics. I wa.i asked many questions ibout the farming lands of Horry, )ac man said vrny go to the Wost ind and pay a hundred dollars for ui acre of land to raise one hundred )uihels of corn when you could buy US t. uiS good in florry cheaper. Hast year, 1 organized with & nombership of about seventy boys u?i of ene-gy, and 1 thiuic they aimia to use about 100 tons of guano, jut the nry weather was severe, yet juite a number of the boys report d at the corn show last fall with .idoriOiH ntm nf r.hmr uron. All ike boys seemed pleased wun tde vay the comniittee distributed the )rtz?s and voted to join the corn jlub again this year. This year, wo should try to make .he banner year of the corn club vork. because the great .National 1?orn Show which has been held in .ho west where so much corn is rais>d will be held in Columbia next lanuary. 1 a ho u id like very much for South Carolina 10 be 0110 of the banner jorn producing State this year, as .he National Corn Show will be leld in this State and I should ?ikej nore for Horry to be able to report with as great a yield as any ountr in the State or the greatest f possible. It is up jto you boys, I hope that wo can get a hundred tirizo acres this year. Hundreds )f boys will be shipping co'n to and ^oing to Columbia next January, lud I should like and thiuk that fou would like to be one of the lumber. There are about a huudred teachers at work in the county now and [ should appreciate it very much if /ou would talk with all your school x>ys between the ages of 10 and 18 ibout joining the corn club this /ear. All who join please send in .heir names at once in order that I :sn forward them to Washington, t is worth something boys to have /our name written in Washington sonnected'with some great euteririse. Up to the present bi boys nave ointd and 1 hope several more will oin. Come on boys and lets try to nake Horry the banner corn growng county i>in South Carolina this fear. You boys can advertise and increase the value of the property of [lorry County. I will write you later about the Uotton Club work. S H.

As a result of plans laid by the sherilY of this county, M G. Parker, who has been Ion# wanted by tin* authorities here, has been arrested and placed in the county jail at ' Whitovilie, N. C , as shown oy the following letter, received by the sherilT. R J Sessions: Whi'teviile, N. C?Feb. 19th, 1912. Sheriff B. J Sessions, Conway, S. C., Dear Sir: I arrested M. G. Parker today He is wanted as a material witness here at our court, which convenes Monday Feb 26th, after which I will deliver him to you as soon as possible Of course we expect your , county to pay the expenses. Yours trulv, A. S. Richardson, Sheriff. I will hold him in jail here until I can deliver him to you. ( M G. Parker was arrested in this county in 1909, charged with shooting a negro woman in the leg, with ' intent to kill, and on the usual bond required in such cases, was allowed i to go at large to await the call of this case in the sessions court. He failed to appear and a true bill was f returned against him by the grand jury, and the usual bench warrant f was issued and placed in the hands of the sheriff for execution Parker managed to elude ibe sheriff, and was soon heard from in Oklahoma. J In the mean time his case wa? called and be was tried iu his absence and a sealed sentence rendered again*!. * hi.ii. The sher.1T repeatedly tried t to eaten up wiLb him. but for a ye-.u or two Pariter went from place to -] olaco in different States, and was ,, ' J # - !- aL- _ f T ~ C uearu irorn once iu iue oiaue ui juwu after he had left his first location in Oklahoma. The sheriff finally locatjed him on a little parcel of land he 0 had purchased near the Green Swamp in Columbus County, N. C. r This came about by reason of the following, facts. He was known in the Green j. Swamp section as P. Stanley, and received mail under this name at Old Dock, N. C. He lived alone and cultivated potatoes on his little c place. Two men by the name of e Simmons went to hunt with him one day, and were asked by him to ro- c main to dinner. They remained in a in tho house while he went out to get some of the potatoes to cook for dinner After he had left the house * and was in the potato patch, the 1 Simmons men went out to him, ana while he was not looking struck him a over the head with a hoe hand.e, s took his money from him, which he carried in a belt, and left him senseless, lying on the ground. Later in \ theday, ho came to himself,crawled (j to a neighbor's house, and with his T help found and arrested bis assailants and lodged them in jail at p Whiteville. By means of the trial t his identity was finaliy learned by ci the authorities hero, aud led to his arrest as A1G Parker as above stated As soon as he is through with the court at Whiteville, he will bo . brought here, and his sentence read to him. It is stated that there are other charges against him which t will come up later. s Some More About Dr Black. The following are extracts from a 8 letter written by the pastor of oue c of the churches in Dillon, to one of c the pastors of Conway. Dr. Black conducted a series of union services j in Dillon last year. C 4T am glad you are to havo with e you Rev, Wm. Black, Evangelist for a meeting.

You could scarcely find an Evangelist freer v from objections, In the meeting ? here all the churches co-operated y heartily and all were equally pleas- ? ed. and all shared alise the results of the meeting, Mr. Black allows f no discrimination, The results here \ were good to all and the inlluenco of t the meeting could be seen and felt a on the streets after the meeting c closed. I was told on the street by a business man?an old citizen? that, during and following the meet- t * i i VI icg no police was ueeuea Mr. Black's preaching is thorough lj ly sound and evangelical, and he y does not waste any time in foolish- * ness, or rely upon ludicrous auaedotes to interest or hold the people. C He makes a great deal of the song ) service. The services are attractive. C and yet solemn an,} earnest, lie is 1; fearless in denouncing evil, but does C it iu a loving spirit, which gives no offence.
