remained here, but they unscheduled
to leave for other parts with very
little delay. The grand jury presented
the entire Gypsy hand for
vagrancy, and gave them the period
of one week to be gone from the
county. No matter whore these i

they will never forget Conway and

Deck Hand is Killed.
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.

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,

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,
