One of the negro deck hands on the ''Mitchell C" by name of Coonie Sessions, on the regular trip of the steamer from Georgetown to this point, one day last week, fell overboard and was drowned. This hand and his brother bad been drinking that day, and were nearly dead drunk when the drowning took place. While a party of white men were standing near the stern of the boat watching for the body to rise, the other negro, a brother of the one who was drowned, and who was also drunk, became enraged for unknown reasons and attacked the white men. Ht> struck the Rev* J. M. Skipper in the back and on the elbow inflicting a painful bruise, but no bones were broken. The one who thus became violent is said to be a brother of the one drewned, and he had been in a drunken stupor at the time the other fell over ^d was drowned. Kingston Presbyterian Church.

He reserved his decision. Final Report of Grand Jury. To his Honor, Judge J. W DeVore, t J; iA ? i m preMUintr at reuruary xerui ui Court, 1912 for Horry County. We, the Grand Jury, herewith respectfully submit our final report and presentment. We have passed upon all bills presented to us and have returned them to this court We have appointed the necessary committees to examine the County ollices and will give to the Court and county our findings at the next term of Court. We have visited the pail and find it neatly kept, but fiod the top of the jail in bad condition. We recommend that it be put in good repairs at once. We have visited the Kingston Lane Bridge and find that the Su-.. pervisor has started to erecthy# bridge that will bo what the cowiity has needed for a long time, but are sorry and surprised to find in the Supervisor's Ollice a resolution passed at the last meeting of the Board to stop the Supervisor, from work on the bridge. We sympathize with him in his work trying to serve the people. Twice last year, the Graud Jury reported him for not rami.!rinor t,h#? hridcrp nvp.r Kingston - ^ r""* ?r~> r-> - - ? r> ? Luke. Now since he has started the work, the commissioners have passed resolutions, stopping him, and have refused to pay for the work done. We recommend that the County Commissioners cooperate with the Supervisor in erecting a steel bridge over the Kingston Lake, and that they use the foundation and pier that is already built for the bridge, as it can bo done $5000 00 cheaper there than at any other place on the Lake, ana will serve the public just ( as well there as anywhere. We want to urge the Supervisor to rush the work on the bridge, as the people in the eastern side of the county are at the mercy of a few individuals, when they want to come to the county seat as the County has no way of its owu over the Kingston Lake, until the bridge is buiit. We recommend that the County Commissioners keep the poor farm until we are convinced that the farm is not a paying institution. We recommend that the proper oflicers in the towu and county, no . tify the company of gipsy horse | traders aud fortune tellers, to be out of the couuty in one week, or . have the vagrant law enforced. Presentments omitted. We desire to express our thanks , to his Honor Judge J. W. DeVore and to thelother otiieers of the Court . for the courtesies aud kindness extended to us. iiespectfully submitted, L. H. Burroughs, Foreman. m m m The weathor last Friday morning was a cloudy and presaged anothei I *now. by the afternoon the day wa* 8 clear, and Conway had missed th< } third snow that some of the peoph & was expecting. r The rains contirue to descend au< there are no signs of holding up. % 1 { JRSDAY. MARCO 7, 1912. Revival Services Closed. The union revival services closed last Monday night. Our town has perhaps never been so stirred spiritually in all its history. Fully one hundred persons decided to lead a Christian life, besides a much larger number of church members who were greatly revived. In a town where a great majority of the people are already members of some church this moan * verv much. The bem.'li ci&l efforts of this meeting will be ] felt hero for years to come. The Evangelist, lisv Or. William Black, of Criarlotte, N, C., who conducted the meeting, endeared himself to all. His sermons were strong and forceful, and yet so plain to the point that every one was deeply impressed. llis engaging personality made hirn very p >puiar both in the pulpit and ou* of it. Many of our uomes enj >yed the privilege of his company in a social way. Dr. Black during his brief stay bore made a host of friends. Mr. Andrew B. Burr, also of Charlotte, is Dr. Black's singer. He is a very sweet spirited man, and ho is a born singer. He had a large platform built in the church for the cho'r. Ho then organize a chorus choir of forty Voices and directed it with rare skill. Seldom has such Mnging been, done here before. j he oook u*ed was The Assembly Songs, many copies of which were purchased by those attending the meeting. The weather was very inclement much of the time, and greatly? retarted the attendance at the services. But in spite of that the morning services were attended by 200 to 300 persons, and the attendance at night was usually 500 This is a good record for a community our size, considering the weather. Hon. J. P. McNeill, of Florence, 1 * ? v i was iu attendance lor several uays last week, much to the delight of his many friends here. Ho was a boyhood friend and school mate of I)r Black. When he came a male quartette was formed consisting ?,f Dr B actf, Mr. Burr, Mr. J. P. McNeill and Mr. W. A. Freemsh. When Mr. McNeill left Mrs. M. W. Collins joined the quartette. The beautiful selections which they rendered were inspiring and touched the hearts of all. Miss Mabel Norton was pianoist througnout, the meeting, and gave most efficient service. It is yet too early to determine bow many will jiin the church, but ft will be a large number. The Baptist, Methodist, Presbyterian and Episcopal Churches will all receive accessions from the meeting. There will be preaching services in each of the throe churches first named next Sunday both moruing afld night. So all who wish to unite with the church will go then to the church of their choice next Sunday morning. In this meeting Dr. W. J. Langston, Rev. A. S. Doak and Rev. A. D. Belts, have united heartily and and their congregation with them It is the universal verdict that this series of services has been a success. Dr. Black and Mr. Burr left last Tuesday morning for their homes in Charlotte. Next Sunday they will be in Cher&w, S. C., to begin another union meeting there. We will all have most pleasant memories of their stay among us in Conway. A Happy Marriage. On Sunday, February 18th. 1910, at the residence of W L Alford, a quiet wedding was solemnized. T contracting parties were Miss Louie Hardwick, of Galivants Ferry, and Mr Gurley M Hardwick, ol Blanche The bride is the charming young daughter of the late Asbury Hardwick, and the groom is the young son of the late Jere M Hardwiok. Both parties being survivors of their fathers who have long ago passed to the world beyond. The attendants were as follows: Mr C J Cannon with Miss Fronie Hardwick, Mr F N Johnson with Miss Cora Alford. With these and several other friends and relatives of both parties, they pledged their troth at the marriage altar, where Notary Public W L Alford, in an impressive maouer, prenounced them man and wife, after which several (among whom was Mr Alfv.rd) left for the home of the bride's mother, Mrs Mary Hardwick, where an abundance of real delightful re, freshments were served, aud mufic was rendered b3? phonograph, and vocal siuging. It seemed that all j force was uuited to make the occa5 sion a pleasure to both ynung aud | old, and surely we all join in wishing them a happy journey through life, Mr and Mrs Hardwick will make their home near Aynor, One Who Was Present.
