Snow in November Was an
Unexpected Visitor
REMAINED ONLY FEW HOURS
The Snow Marked Thanksgiving Day
Ah Out of the Ordinary,?The Cold
Weather was Against the Intentions
of Hunters,-Night was Cold and
Cloudy.
Tho people of Conway were surprised
when they arose from their
beds last Thursday morning to find
tho town clothed in a mantle of
White. There was nothing in *he
weather the evening before to indicate
that there might be a snow-fall.
Alter supper on Wednesday night,
the sky became cloudy, and when
thr? np.nnle retired to bed about 10
V I ?
o'clock, thero was a light raia falling
The weather was not warm
but it was mild Those who did
not go to bed early stated the next
' day that the temperature changed
before the middle of the night, and
that tho rain changed into sleet,
and later on in the eight about 4 80
o'clock, the snow flakes began to fali
The fall was a light one and it did
not. remain long on the ground, By
0 o'clock or earlier in the morniug
it had nearly all melted away. In
fact it was melting at daylight according
to some early risers. In
the late afternoon there was very
little to show that Conway had had
tho first snow of the season. Thurs
d ly night was vary cold but there
was no rain or snow. By Friday J
the weather had considerably moder
ated.

Oyster Supper A Success.
The oyster srpper given by the
Knights of Honor at the lodge
' rooms last Thursday evening was a
V sn T-AsiQ in every wav. Noted
s-peakers bad been invited to attend
x and make addresses in response to
toasts, but unluckily they did not
come. Nevertheless there was plen
ty of local talent preseut to make
the speeches, and they were made
with eloquence and wit.
Paul Quattlebaum acted as toastin
istor. He first introduced Ool. C.
P. Quattlebaum who responded to
the toast "Our Order." He gave
the history of the lodge, and many
interesting facts were related by
him, and among other things he
read a list of the charter members
of the lodge, only one or two of
whom are still in the order. Rev A.
S. Doak made rospouse to the toast
"Our Church" and he handied his
subject well, lie was followed by
Hon. H. L. Buck in response to
"Our State." He paid an eloquent
tribute to the Slate wo all love. Hon
R B Scarborough's subject was
'The Nation." He handled this in
his usual fluent and eloquent style.
Last on the program was Col. T.
Larry Gantt, who responded to the
toast "Woman." His address was
full of wit and pleased his hearers.
The committee on arrangements
deserve praise for the nice way in
which the affair was managed. Tab
les were sot for nearly a hundred,
and perhaps that number were in

CALOMEL MUST
HURT YOUR LIVER
<?
Every Time You Take This Powerful
Drug You Are in Danger. Take
Dodson's Liver Tone Instead.
Calomel is made from mercury'
and while mercury has many uses*
it, is a dangerous thing to swallow
If calomel stays in the system very
long it salivates. Even when it
works naturally, its after-effects are
often bad.
Norton Drutr Co., has a liver medicine
called Dodson's Liver Tone
which is positively guaranteed to
take the p'aco of calomel. It stimjfc
ul.ates the liver just enough to start
it working, and does not make you
sicker than ever?as calomel often
does. Dodson's Liver Tone won't
force you to stop eating or working
after taking it. It is as beneficial
for children as for adults.^ Try a
bottle under Norton Drug Co's guar

WILLIAM D. WATSON DEAD
Member of Prominent Family Dies
Near Greenville by Own Hand,--Fun
eral on Sunday.
Many friends of W. D. Watson
were pained to bear of his death
last week at Furman University, un
der distressing circumstances.
About ten years aj|o ho graduated
at the Citadel, as a cadet from this
county, and 'tsince that' time bad
taught in the schools of this county
various terms. Ho was a oandidate
for Clerk of the Court several years
ago. About October 1st, 1912, he
entered Furman University as a
student, tailing both the preparatory
and higher courses, and he intended
to enter the ministry as soon
as he finished. Somotime ago he
became in bad health, and at times
his mind seemed deranged. It is
stated that he brooded over the
thought that earUer in life he had J
been called by God to preach thei
Gospel, and he had disregarded the
call.
Last week be seemed to be suffering
from some nervous disorder.
One morning he was missing from
his room, and after searching in
various places for him, the remains
were found two miles from the city,
and there was a note stating that
ho alone was responsible for the
act. The remains came through
Conway Sunday, accompanied by
students of the University, and
was interred near his home at Nixonville.
He leaves a father and
mother and several brothers and sis
ters, who have the sympathy of a
wide circle of friends in their sorrow.
Resolutions of Respect.
The Literary Society of Furman
passed the following resolutions on
his death:
Whereas our Heavenly Father, in
his supreme wisdom hss seen lit to
permit the removal of our beloved
student, W. D. Watson, from our
midst and whereas, our Adelphian
Literary Society mourns the loss of
one of its most loyal members.
Be it resolved: First, That while
we cherish his memory in our heart,
we bow in humble submission to the
divine decree, commending the soul
of our brother to God who gave it,
knowing that "he is too wise to err,
tno merciful to be unkind."
Second, That while we lament his
deash we rejoice that he was spared
and was with us sufliciently long to
be an example of manly conduct and
an ideal student.
Third, That our sympathies be extended
his beloved family in their
hour of grief,
Further, That these resolutions
be rdcorded in our minutes in his
memory, and that a copy of these
resolutions be sent to his parents,
to the Baptist Courier, and to the
Horry County papers.

Drives Off a Terror.
. The chief executioner of death in
the winter and spring months is
pheunbonia, Its advance agents are
colds and grip. Tu any attack by
one of these maladies no time should
be lost in taking the b^st medicine
obtainable to drivo it off, Countless
thousands have found this to ho Dr.
Kings New Discovery. "My husband
believes it. has kept him from
having pheutnonia three or four
times," writes Mrs, George W.

coughs, colds and croup we have
never found its equal." Guaranteed
for all bronchial aflections.

This town is rapidly advancing in
j the matter of the building of business
houses and stores and in number
of the business placos open for trade
of different kinds, but it is remarkably
slow in getting started the
kind of manufacturing enterprise
that \v:ll last and give employment
to the masses of the people. Most
towns of the size of this situated in
the midst of a great cotton growing
teritory have been able to get cotton
factories located thus greatly increasing
the taxable wealth. In
other sections owing to the abundance
of timber, furniture factories
have been organised avid are being
run now at a large profb to the owners.
