not proceed on account of ?he absence
of several members of the
grand jury who had been detained
about leaving their h>mes, on sccountof
the rainy weather.
The prosecutions and civil proceedings
growing out of the G.vpsy
wrangles had all been settled up on
Saturday boforo and the papers were
^ accordingly withdrawn by mutual *
consent of both sides, Tnese cases
would have taken up several days of
the court if they hau gone through.
After some dciuy, the grand jury .
y were ail in place, and all were sworn 4
Toe solicitor then haud^d out a large ,
batch of indictments and after tne '
witnesses were sworn, the grand ,
j iry retired to consider them.

strongly upon the unkempt appearing
of tne new court house grouuds.
Tao paths leading to the building ,

travel them are comp riled to wade.
As there was nothing in the dock .
et ready for trial the court had to
wait on the grand jory to return ,
some of th3 oiils.
No caso was tried until the hour
of 3 o clock, when the caso of Tae i
j State vs. Kockwell Swain, cuarged
"f witli homicide, lie had killed La1
cey Lewis several months ago. It
* appeared from the testimony at the
time S wain did the killing, he was

ed the L3wis ooy, and most people
understand it to be an accident.
BJth slayer and slain were young
boys. Several witnesses were sworn
by the State, but nothing was
brought out different very much
from the account as it was first published.
The defendant was sworn
in his own behalf. The jury was .
directed to write a verdict of not
guilty, which was done,
The State vs. Dock Singleton,
charged with larceny was next call*
ed. C. P Quattlebaum represented
the defondant, and at his request
the case was coniined until the following
day.
J. Clarence Wallace pleaded guilty
to aggrevated assault and battery
and was sentenced to 3 months
in penitentiary or county chain
gang, or pay a fine of thirty-five
dollars.
* The State vs. H nry Birry charged
with house breaking and larceny
was then tried. Tee defendant had
no attorney. He was acquitted for
luck of proof.
The State vs. J. Ei. Singleton, on
^ a charge of larceny was then tried.
The defendant was represented by
C. P Q jattlebaum and K. B. Searborough
This was finally laid oyer
to a late hour.

bb ult and battery and was .sentenced
^?o six months or line of $150.00,
State vs. W. H. Bryant, charged
with assault and battery, resulted
in a veriic'j for th i State.
The State v.s J H Singleton was
again taken up and was tried. The
w defendant was acquitted.
The Stato vs Gary McQueen,
charged with assault and battery
with intent to kill. This case grew
out of the trouble related in a reoent
a issue, when the prosecutlou H M
H?ynols went to the defendants'
house to collect an account for a
sewing machine which he had sold
the defendant. The defendant had
no lawyer.
The State] vs Sherman Miles for
housebreaking and larceny was then
tried. He had no attorney and the
evideDC? though circumstantial was
strong agaip *t him.
The Clerk of the Court will soon
send out the summops for service in

A Great Revival.
The union revival services at the
Methodist Church are largely aftended
aod are sseadily increasing
in interest. Dr. "William Black ot
Charlotte, N. C., arrived Saturday
afternoon He is being entertained
in the borne of his bovhuod friend.
1 Mr. D. T McNeill of our town. Dr.
Black was formerly a lawyer, and
resided a'. Maxton, N. C. But nearly
twenty'years ago, feeling the call
to preach, he laid down, a large practice
and entered the ministry of the
Presbyteriau Church, He is now
the official evangelist of the Synod
of North Carolina.
Dr, Black's experience in law has
given unusual qualifications for his
evangelistic work. He speaks with
remarkable clearness and force, He
makes every truth so plain that even
a child can understand it. Evident
ly he has not forgotten the time
when it was supremely important to
convince every man on the jury.
Several have already confessed to
their friends their purpose to lead a
new life. Men who have not boen
religious before are greatly affected.
It seems that our town is on the
eve of a great spiritual awakening.
Mr. Burr, Mr. Black's singer, is a
Canadian by birth. He is a?very
effective singer. Lie has organized
a large choir here of about forty
voices. Mmy pronounce the singiug
to be the best he.ird in Conway
in a long time. A special featuro
of the meetings is the singing of
Mr. Burr and Dr. Black together
in duets, It is particularly impressive.
and especially effective as they
sing so clearly that every wotd can
be distinctly understood The gospel
is being both sung and preached
with rare power.
Dr. Black began his work last
Sunday, preaohiug both morning
and night to a large congregations
in spite of the very inclement weather.
Since then the morning services
have been attended by nearly
200 persous, and the night services
i by nearly 400. With the improved
weather the Church will doubtless
be taxed to its utmost capacity.
The services are being held at 10
a m. and 7.30 p. m. Many of the
bu>ir<e^s and professional men are
closing up their stores and oflioes to
attend the morniug service, and everything
is closed for the night ser'
vice. Many of the court visitors
are attending the meeting. In the
? few days that remain every body
should attend.
Mia? Cromer's Visit.
Miss Marie S. Cromer, the State
' organizer of Girl's Tomato Clubs
visited Conway on Saturday February
17ih, and the upper part of the
county on Monday and Tuesday.
1 Owing to the fact that the weather
was bad and the roads almost impassible,
there were not as many
out to hear her on Saturday as we
had hoped to see. Yet, a goodly
number were present and showed
much interest in the work,
j Early on Saturday morning she
visited the Burroughs High School,
and made a very interesting address
before the faculty and pupils. As a
rule, a large number of the school
) girls joined. We are expecting good
* work of so large a club.
J Miss Cromer's addresses wert
) very inspiring, and I feel sure that
^ all who heard her wen'i away with
i : ? 4 ~ . i.i r
a uuruiu^ ucmic iu uuuijr
5 county famous with its Giri's TomaD
to Clubs. S'^e said that the Boy'?
[1 Corn Clubs were not organiz-d foi
^ the purpose of learning more about
1 tomato culture or corn growing, but
^ for the purpose of making bettei
- and more useful boys and girls
~ This she believos the clubs wiil do
because when we learn to do on*
thing accurately and well we will d<
q all other things, better than we die
q before,
Miss Cromer left on the oarlv
morning train Monday for Loris at<
3 other points in the upper part o
2 the county. Before leaving Con
way, sho had enrolled 75 members
7 Before leaving the connt}' she wil
probably enroll more than one bun0
dred Horry girls in the Girl's To
5 mato Club. This ought to meat
greater things in the future of ou
10 county.
Theso clubs are to bo organize)
7 in only l\ counties in our State thi
year. Only tiue most progressiy
countios have been selected. So w
n see that Horry has a good reputa
c tion abroad. We need not los
this reputation, if we do our best t
lt make our club a success.
( Very truly yottrs,
Ida Moore.
