THE ISSUES JOINED
Can a Railroad Co. Maintain a Common
Nuisance?
Trouble is now on in the Courts
between the Town of Conway and
the Atlantic Coast. There is an
ordinance of the town providing a
fine of not less than $1 00 or more
than $5 00 for stopping a train on
the public street longer than oik*
minute. It seems that the Railroad
wanted to contest this ordinance
?* i i j ~ ~ ^ t .
and wuruiiy yiomeu it, mi *n??>
week before last Conductor Powell
and Engineer Wilkins, of the
freight train, were both arrested
and placed under a $200.00 bond for
trial. The case was set for hearing
on Monday of last week, but was
continued on tho grounl of the necessary
absence of Mr. Eiliott., head
counsel ef the railroad. No definite
date has been fixed for the
trial, but it will be forced to a hearing
in the near future.
Besides the ordinance above mentioned
there is anothor ordinance
recently passed, which will go into
effect, on December 1st, 1912, prohibiting
any railroad from running
any trains, whatever, on the Main
Street of the Town. Just what the
effect of this ordinance will be is not
known and it may be fought in the
courts by the Railroad Company's
after December 1st. The people of
the Town are hoping, however, that
it will result in moving the railroad
track away from Main Street. thus
putting an end to a common nuisance
in the matter of noise, dust,
and smoke and even rerfous injury
to the pedestrians and the drivers
of private vehicles.
OBITUARY.
Arthur Manigault. Burroughs was
b^rn in Conway, S. C . August 7th,
1881. He was the son of the late I
, Mr. F. G. Burroughs and Mrs. Adeline
Cooper Burroughs. He comi
pleted his education at the wellknown
Bingham School in North
Carolina. While yet a youth he
united with the Con way Methodist
I church of which he continued a
I member until his death. On No[
ver 15. 1904. he was married to Miss
\ Frances Coles, of Winston-Salem,
> N. C. Two bright boys, Jack and
1 Franklin, gladdened their home
[ and survive to mourn the loss of
their beloved father. Besides his
I iand mnt.hflp he leaves two
brothers Mr. F. A. Burroughs and
> Mr. D. M Burroughs. both of this
place, and three sisters: Mrs J. LEdgerton,

> Brother Burroughs had been
prominent in the business circles of
Conway for a decade past. Recently
becoming connected with the

attending to his du ns here that
a terrific explosion took place in
the early morning of August 14,
1912, and he received fatal injuries
which resulted in his death the same
day. With a beautiful prayer upon
i his lips he passed into unconsciousness
and then into eternity. The
Tuneral services were conducted
! by the writer at the late residence
> of the deceased. Interment took
^ place at Lakeside cemetery.

FUSS OVER ANNLEAGE BOOK
After Purchasing a Mileage Book
hiiH a Trin Ticket froir Mullina to
Loris, Both Points in the State, Mr
Adains Attempted^to Use Mileage
Book lrom Loris to Conway Which
Was Refused by the Conauceor, and
Mr. Adams wai Put Off the Train,
The Matter Will Undergo Judicial
Investigation,
There was some excitement among
U>.' passengers on the late train last
e>i<iuesday evening just- this side
ui Loris, when the Coadnotor forced
George L. Adams, a well known
crivelling man, to loaye the train
and take to the woods. The trouble
arose over a South Carolina mileage
book which Mr. Adams had purchased
and paid for before beginning
h4s journey at Mui'ins, S. C.
lie had understood before starting
on the trip that the Railroad was
not compelled to take the mileage in
payment of fare on a?: iterstate
journey. His trip at fir*? was to
extend frr rn Mullins in "Ibis State
across the line into North Carolina
to Chadb ?urn and thence back into
South Carolina to Loris. As
ihis would 'ake him out of the
State he bought a ticket at Mullins,
which was go <i to Loris, ' >. C., aud
at Loris decided to come on to Conway.
Mr. Adams did not buy a
new ticket at Loris and when the
train was about a mile fMom Loris
towards Conway, when tbe Conductor
called for tickets he presented
.the mileage book which tho Conductor
refused to take. The Conductor
claimed that Mr. Adams was
on an interstate journey, while Mr.
Adams claimed that this view
would not hold for tho reason that
he had bought a ticket for Loris, a
point within this state, and was!
travelling on his way to another!
point within this State, to-wit: j
Conway. The Conductor forced
him off the train and ho came in
Cor way the following day by automobile,
and tho question will be
litigated in the Court.
