Often the hunt for a rich wife ends when the man meets a woman that uses Electric Bitters. Her strong nerves toil in a bright brain and even temper. Her peach-bloom complexion and ruby lips result from her pure blood; her bright eyes from restful sleep; her elastic step from firm, free muscles, all telling of the health and strength Electric Bitters give ^ woman, and the freodom from indigestion, backache, headache, faiutiug and dizzy spells they promote. Everywhere they are woman's favorite remedy) If weak or ailing try them. 50c at Norton Drug Co. Services nt Warn pee.

State of South Carolina. \ Couotv of Horrr. To the Honorable, the Supervisor and Couhty Board of Commissioners: Whereas we are informed that under a recent Act of the Legislature your board is directed to erect a steel bridgo across Kingston Lake at Conway; And, whereas, tbe county authorities have of recent years expended a considerable sum of money in tln-Awlnw nr? nf an Ainhankment to be \ U' \/ TV lUf^ VI V - V -W WW above the reach of the freshets, as a road of approach to the present site of the Kingston Lake bridge; And, whereas, the authorities have also recently expended a considerable sum of money in a permanent ooncrete pier with a view of using the same as a proper foundation for a steel structure, which pier we understand has been pronounced by a competent bridge engineer, as abundantly adequate to support a steel bridge, Wo, therefore, your petitioners, tax payers and citizens of said county respectfuliy petition your honorable Board to place said bridge across Kingston Lake at such a point as will admit of the use of both the approaches t > the present site and also of the concrete pier referred to, thus effecting a saving of several thousand dollars to the tax payers of the county, and also hastening the completion of this much needed work; Ana your petitioners will ever pray, etc. The above petition was presented to the County Commissioners by L H Burroughs at their regular meeting in June. Mr Burroughs stated that 98 per cent of the people whom he had had an opportuni-ty to present it had signed it, Over 300 tax payers sigued the petition. People in every township in the county signed it. The Court of Magistrate. Magistrate Chestnut held court in the grand jury room at the court house last Friday to investigate a peace warrant which had been sworn out by D C Johnson against D A Huggins and N A Huggins, in which it was alleged that the said Ko/1 ,11 II rla t h foa ia oriH uciruuau ?a unu ujouv -u.wvo, un? the prosecutor was in fear of harm from them. After ihe call of the case, it wa?Jagreed that if the defendants would enter into an agreement not to bother or interfere with the prosecutor, and not trespass on the property of each other, Ac., that the Magistrate would continue thv ?c&86 indefinitely upon good behavior.

C., TI ii yarn A Link of Sweetness Long Drawn Out WHICH IS WHICH NOR ON Mr Norton Tells When McCaskill Was Appointed a County Commissioner, So That Cat at Least is Out of the I3ag.?The only Problem Which now Remains Unsolved is Whether Mr Mishoe was Working on a Salary or a Per Diem? To The Editor of The Herald If Mr Commissioner McCaskill thinks it of any importance, I will say that he was appointed a County Commissioner about January l(>th 1911, by Govenor Ansel; and that < he qualified for duty as such six 1 months afterwards on June 17th, ' 1911. I may add that no evidence appears of official record that Walter Mishoe holds any commission as a constable or detective. When Mr McCaskill was appointed ; makes no diiierence; John and his , job are merely of relative impor- , tance* Whether he was appointed j because he traveled parts of the county to talk against the present Tupervisor and traveled part of the time with Senator Spivey might be relatively important,to.),as indicated ' sufficiently ?or all political purposo, | that this Johnny was appointed to j handicap in office a man he personally disliked and to aid Senator Spivey in the official obstruction of a good Supervisor's useful and energetic labors. But, whether he was appointed for such a purpose or not, Commissioner McCaskill has finally succeeded in completely tangling up those parts of the County Commissioners, office not before sadiy confused by.freak legislation. He has stopped the work on Kingston or Lake Bridge for other than useful public purposes, as soon as he got an innocent bystander appointed to aid him. He has paid out six hundred and fifty dollars of the public funds of Horry without receiving an houi work or a postage stamp for the County in return?aided also by mis- 1 led bystarder; and he has no answer ready to the public charge of having done so unjustly and illegally. He has made himself, instead of the courteous explaiuer of just official acts, the public mouthpiece of a [ gang of discredited politicians, almost dirty and venemous enough to satisfy them but the bystander aforesaid will hardly help him here. As such mouthpiece, he misstates, among other things, my connection with theBoard of County Com mis- , sioners a tion on the Walter Mishoe , claims. He knows that I have said time - * ? T) 3 At _ A A I and again to tne ix>aru mat toe Mishoe claims were not in the proper form to be considered by the Board, that when th3y were put in form, then the question of their payment would come up. The old Board would probably have disapproved these claims if they had had jurisdiction to do so. Knowing these things, Ceinmissioner McCaskill's efforts to state them leaves a contrary impression. But outside of that he is careful to controvert and d^ny anything else except the plain law and facts as I have stated them. Justifying bis own official acts does not appeal to John; for him it is to cuss. It is an ord^r To have bim welded to the machine, to h ?.ye him tamped smoothly in to the re pvisibilities and mysteries of the cnief machinators, he is commanded t) tight Van Norton. Fighting Van is the highly prop.iv and accustomed initiation into tho chief places of the machine. Every grafter, official shirker and time server in and out of office in Horry county?and John (aho, I hope, a few that are none of these), tind it their duty to tight Van. It has become a - - i l-.i.l.. r_ uecesaitv; it is uu ausoiubtriy huil* way to let the boys, who are looking for something, know who is catering to the horse?leech vote, I have been of considerable service to the machine first and last in knocking excresences off tho^e knobby and protuberout parts of it they areoccaslonaly poking out int > public view; but 1 have never before been given such a iob as trimming John to tit hif? machine job. Ho i.v to yiscidly self satisfied. No arguieg, talking, or pleading of mine will ever trim or tit th>s Commis sioner of theirs into any u eful article to thi m. He is too proud of his adjectives to rise above being merely a loose mouthpiece. He's two proud of himself as a ! Van?killer to do any real work like learning where he himself is. And they themselves seem to be fooled by John's ability as a phrase mak: er and fable puller, i But he'll never be of any further I use to the machine; and they'll find it so for be can't find himself. Ha ' 1URSDAY, JUNE 6, 1912, was ruined years ago .for a uewspaper spouting purposes by bis present friend Doc Spivuy. I canuot say about him what Dock was alleged to have written, because 1 don't believe in such things. And if talking slanderously about John' would bring him back to my side of the fence, it would he too high a price to pay, jfcFor John is far too liable to show mistake he has made of himself. The innocuous political position of the rimless zero which ho has so usefully and permanently occupied in the past he should with his habltul dignity resume.

Shipp presiding at May term of Court, 1912, for Horry County. We the Grand jury herewith respectfully submit our final report and presentment. We have passed on all bills presented to us, and have returned them to the Court. In our February report we recommended that the County Commissi >ners co-operate with the Supervisor in the completion of a Steel Bridge over Kingston Lake. We ,irn sorrv to inform tho Court that nothing has been done on this work since lust Court, and that there is nothing in Horry County of any more importance than the completion of this bridge. We are glad to note, that the last two terms of court there has been but, one case of violation ot the Dispensary Law. WTe aro also glad to note, that, thi r ). arc now being erected, with funds to erect. twent3r now school buildings in Horry County this year. The committee appointed by the grand jury to investigate the County cilices tioshe to submit tho following report. As the books in the various cilices are not closod until July 1st. we have not balanced them but have checked over the entries. We first checked througn the Clerk of Court's otliee Wo found a record of all moneys received and tho Treasurer's receipt for all money that went into his cilice. We found that tho Pension book is kept very nicely and simple, receipts for all money paid to the parties receiving it and at the end of tho season what monej was ieft in the cilice, was sent to the; Comptroller General's cilice. Wo find receipts for all money paid out. Wo find tho Clerk makes nis monthly report t,o the Treasurer, but has taken some receipts wiihout requiring the Treasurer to date them. We think the ofiice is very nicely kept. Probate Judge In the Probate Judge's oilioe. we found the work and records in fairly good shape. The Probate Judge produced a receipt from the Bank for the amouQt of rnony his b(.oks show he has on band. We iind he has taken a receipt from the Count3r Treasurer that was uot properly written, after calliug his attention to it, he had it properly idled in. He produced the various books tho lawrequires his oilice to have. We iind some improvement over the former Probate Judge. Auditor The Auditor keeps a vory neat stt of books. He has his work arranged systematically. We think that there are people in Horry County not paying income tax who should. We ask that the Auditor look closely into this matter. Superintendent of Education We checked through the Superintendent of Education's books, found some clerical errors but they were corrected. We found a simple set of books, so arranged that each school's aect showed what it had appropriated, from what source it came and to whom paid. Sheriff's Oflice In the Sheriff's cilice we find that the books are not kept as they should be, The Sherilf admits it, ?vr?li\mi.tinn savs. "he could ll 1J V.4 1 VI ^ 7 keep thorn bolter if he had more time." We find uncollected tax executions in iho Sheriff's ollice for the years 1901. 1902, 1904, 1905, 1906 1907, 1908, 1909 and 1910. For 11)07 his books show tie has on band $540,02 in uncollected tax executions 11)08 $120, 56. 1009 $413/11. 1010 $202,83 Alter crediting him with rxeculions he says he has out. We did not tirid enough executions to pay these amounts if he had credit. Wo recommend that the SherilT give to the proper otlioer the executions he cannot and has not collected, take his receipt for same and if he cannot produce enough to pay for the amount the Treasurer has him charged with, that he be required fro pay the dilYerenco to the County Treasurer at once. We further roe ommend that the SherilT make a settlement with the County Treasurer onco each year and not lot the uncollected executions stand inditi nately as they have been. Owing to the fact, the SherilT is so badly bohind with his work, we find it impossible to make an in'e'ligeni report Supervisor's Office With tho assistance of Mr G L Marsh, Clerk of Commissioners, we have ibo following statement as to where the money was spent for the year li) 11.

We find the B mrd of Commissioners borrowed 1,200,00 from the B*nk of Horry, for Roads and Bridges. This amount was deposited in Bank of Horry to the credit of A C Murrell, Supervisor. We find it all but about $130,00 has been checked out by A C Murrell, Supervisor, for material and freight ^County Treasurer's Office We find the books kept neatly, a record of all monies received, and a receipt for all paid out We find in Banks to the credit of Horry County $10,011 00 to be expended for school and ordinary County expenses .
