When a Negro Boy Came Rid- 1
ing Into Town on a Bicycle Bringing
the News That Another Boy Had
Just Shot and Killed a Negro Girl.
An Ofllcial Investigation Showed the '
Shooting to Have Been Purely Accidental
and tho Boy Was Released. |
Jiasfc Thur?dav afternoon a negro ,

cat~. * that in a negro settlement, ,
nntivuu , ?
OU0 beyond iVluDcrmon Farui, a
negro boy abu^14 years of age, had
shot .out the birUus of a negro
girl about the tame ag?3. He could
uoi relate the incidents leading up,
to the affair, but wanted the authorities
to take hold of the matter. The
Sheriff went out to the place Jn an
automobile and arrested the boy
who did the killing and brought
him to town to ba lodged in the
county jail. The boy denied that
he had none the killing, but there
was another negro girl who said
that she saw him do it. Coroner H
H Burroughs went at once to the
p\'4i?e for the purpose of holding an
inquest. I
Upon holding an inquest there I
was found nothing upon which the I
boy could bo held for the killing, and
it was decided that the killing was
the result of pure accident. The
only oye witness to the killing was a
Pttttfll negro girl, some younger than L
principals in the affair, and her (
Itstimopy was to the effect* that I,
the gup wept off upcidently while it L
was taring tie Id in the hupdg of then
boy. Under the apoye oircum-1
stances, the prisoner was released.

Mr McCukill Replies
Mr Editoy:
la Van's article last week he
thrashed lots of straw, but the
wheat is not there. Van's controversies
remind me of the old son#, i
uDid you ever see a Fly on the Wall."
There are one hundred and forty
seven verses o! it and they are every
one the same thin#. |
1 offered to #o into a discussion of \
our official conduct, that is to say {
Van's and my own. Van can't #et'
off of the Walter Mishoe detective t
claim. He talkslotsof law but he!
does not si#ht you to any rulin#s of [
the Supreme Court or to any section \
of the law. So it must be some of j!
Van's homespun law. In my first J
article I explained why we approved i
the Walter Mishoe claims and whv il
we did not approve them sooner
Van would have you to believe that
ae can make us account to him as to
whether or not the County officers
tiave earned tbeir salaries before approving
their claims. Such dry rot
is that falls before me as flat a?
ivarmed over batter cakes. Now 1
want to say that if we were to ubiertake
to investigate and find out
vhether or not the various officers
>f Horry County from the court
louse down to the Magistrate and
unstables had earned tbeir salaries,
t would consume about ninety days
We approve claims for them at the
jad of every quarter. So you can
readily see that it would necessitate
i one eternal court.
Van compares monthly salaries
with jail accounts. It is to be hoped
that the citizens of Horry County
understand the difference between
salaries and fees. It seems that
Van is not anxious to see mo clear !
ip to the satisfaction of the people 1
Put rather that I was not able to 1
mike them clear. When Walter
Mishoe presented his first claim to
the Board for its approval, Van was
acting as our,clerk, and the Board
sailed on Van for some law that
would justify the disapproval of the
claim. He searched and found the
Carey- Cothran Act, and instructed
lis that it was tho only act or law
that dealt directly with the case.
This act as I have stated before
directs us to approve the claim.
Now Vaq, if any one is to be
blamed for not diligently searching
the law before approving the claims.
as Nathan said unto David, "Thou
art the Man'\
The way the pejple of Jerusalem
keep the & treats clean is every man
sweeps in front of his own door.
Why did you not produce the law
you rpfap tQ q<)w when wo oallpd on ,
you for it? Now Van von are a cup
ping deceiver. Would yoy have
people believe that these claims were
paid opt of the road and bridge
funds when jou kpow better. When
you know as a tn&'ter of foot that
|hcy were W the tew diroets,
to wit, out of the "ordinary Qounty
funds''.
Here comes the tug of war. Now
listen. Van said in his article that
that these claims were regularly
laid aside until now "members" of
the board were appointed, and then
the clniuts weye approved. I would
say in reply to that, I was commissioned
in January and Mishoe went
to work as detective in February
following. Now Van, if this statement
if y0Ur? js **Mei X WOyld say
Stand by it, it IS not true, and which
is not, you are dyo *^yse f and the
people of Horry Qjuqtv apilogyYpu
nepd DPfc io apoIigi?e to me
just ^fiye the people satisfaction,
That'wiil satisfy me*
ThU U a serious matter we have
been accused of being apnointed to
help make up a political machine
And it appears that you would have
people to believe that we were instructed
to approve the Mi Shot
plalms, Now you arc in a dilemi
apd if you do not acknowledge it t<
the people, f will publish the dates
of cur commissions, mine aa commissioner
of Horry Ooumy and hi'
us detective. Since you handle m?
' ? ? -?-- A iU A ?AU ivi A! f! M I?
IB your ttriiiuiu wivu onuu m^iuni^
tenderness I beg to modestly beckon
you back to your carrion. Van you
could learn a valuable lesson from an
?I4 tf&WVfhQa h* into his
hole he pqlls his tiyl in after him.
I can see but one reason why Van
should be willing for thl9 matter to
f?o to oourt. Ho i? while m old
man, a very young law?et\ and was
acting as qqr clerk and for thai
reason \ve were calling on him foi
legal QDioioo- He probably though'
he would get a fee out of it before i'

Bridge Matter Discussed.
There was a meeting at the court
house on Saturday befoie last called
by the Bounty Board foe the purpose
of di-cussing the maimer of the
bridge across the Ki-gston Lake.
Coi D a Spivey, Representatives
Singleton and Stanley, having boen
invited by them to afcteLd for the
purpose of explaining the receut act
of the Legislatuie, providing a
special tax to be used for roads and
b idges, especially the bridge across
the Kingston LaUe and providing
approacnos ami roads leading to and
from the new bridge across the Wac
carnaw River, aercrs Waccamaw
bwamp. The act was the roughly
explained by the delegation above
ineutioiifd, Col fcpivey explained
that he passed the act as he woulu
any other in order to provide the
necessary funds to carry out the
necessary public wonts mentioned
in the act. and showed thai the act
did not direct thai the bridge should
be moved away from the place whore
it is now located, unless a majority
of the county board shoulu decide
in their discretion iliat 11 was best
to do so. Representatives Singleton
and Stanley both made speeches and
staled in substance thai they had
no notice of any hidden meaning implied
by the reports which had been
sot afloat by some of those who stem
to think the purpose of the act was
to move the bridge to some other
place, and that they denied me
report which had g??ue out 10 the
efleet that there was a conspiracy
'?/> ri ti i .r? iu r h i Im t?u t fn? S.. ? ?!
uv/u I1V/V VV.U TT ( i U VliU UllAUUUl ' kj V t-l 1*1
speeches were made by prominent
citizens, showing that the bridge is
needed Dy the people. and thai. iho
board should erect is as soon as possible
at the point wheio it can be
douo with the irtast expense to the
public; funds. Finally Mr F A Burroughs
stated before the meeting
that Burroughs & Collins Company
would agree to donate to the County
for the purpose of building the roaa
from tnonew bridge to tne beauh,
one third of the cost, not exceeding
the suui of $20,000.1)6. It was voieu
th..t a was the touso of the meeting
that the board shoum pruoeetl to
build the road to the beaou, and repair
the Kingston Bake bridge, so
that the people may wse it and be
relieved of trie necessity of going uu
the way round by the Burroughs
bridge.
The construction of a good road
from the ne w bridge across the river
to Myrtle Beach, is one of the most
important movements that eouia be
started at this time, in the way ol
roads and bridges. The new bridge
is useless an it is, without approaches
to it across the deep swamps on ihe
other side. A good roaa leading
from the bridge 10 the beach vail oe
a groat Improvement not only ioi
Cui\way, but for the people o* a lunge

of bocastee and aujoining ttriit-ovy
win be called on to donate j
