E. L. Moore Who Got in
Trouble in Georgetown
ARRESTED AT JACKSONVILLE
He Recently Left Georgetown and Was
at Jacksonville in North Carolina,?
Arrested There Last Week by Sheriff's
Deputy,--Trouble Grows out of
the Same old Trouble of Giving
Checks,?Family Troubles Perhaps
Involved.
E. L. Moore, who is well known
to many people of this this county,
was again arrested one day last
week and was lodged in jail here to
await aavites from the sheriffs of
Geoigelown and Charleston Coun
lies. The arrest was made under
two warrants it is said, one coming
from ttis authorities of Charleston
County, the other from the sheriff
or constaDle in Georgetown County.
It was statid that both charges
agaiust the defendant were under
the law prohi. Sing the giving of
a check or draft against a bank
where the drawer at the time has
no funds with which the check or
draft may be paid. W. J. Johnson,
as deputy for Sheriff Lewis, went
lo Jacksonville, N. C.,with the two
^ warrants, aDd finding Moore there,
arrested him and at last accounts
the defendant was in the Horry
County jail awaiting the authorities
from the other counties mentioned.
It appears that recently Mr
Moore went to Georgetown and purchased
the furnishings of the old
Central Hotel there from R. T. Har
mon. Some checks were passed at
that time which were turned down
by the bank here, the 1st National,
and he was arrested on a warrant
from Georgetown but finally made
bond and later ihe Georgetown papers
stated that he had given up the
hotel business. He left that place
and went to Jacksonville, N. C.,
where he was arrested as above
stated. His wife is witn her relatives
near Allin, S. C. The report
was urrent here recently that there
had been some trouble in this regard.
Tne two checks under which
the two new charges were brought
seem to be different transactions entirely
from the first batch of trouble
which came along at the time he
went into the hotel business. What
these last checks were given for ha*
not been siated. R. T. Harmon,
special deputy, took Moore to George
town last Monday morning.
Baptist Foreign Mission Board.
Tne books of the Foreign Mission
Board closed last Wednesday night
with a debt of $7(5,000.00. The total
contributions for the year
amounted to $513,000 00. Of this
amount. South Carolina gave little
o* - f.l <;0 00, not 4uite reaching
her aiJ^iMoouiont. We are glad to
report that the Waccamaw Associa
tioo paid out in full the amount she
was asked to raise. I have said in
speaking of the shortage that "The
Waccamaw Association was not re
sponsiole for it" but perhaps this
is saving too much, for while we did
raise the amount asked for we did
not do as much as we could have
done, It is not so much a question
as to what the Committee asked of
us but what our Master asks.
If we can feel that we have pleased
the Loid it differs but little
whether or not we please men.
Some of our Waccamaw Associatiou
Members have been very libera)
while others could nave done more.
We hope that our people will not get
the idea that the work is done and
that the Bjard is not greatly in
need. The great need i9 now.
The shortage means either one of
three things, 1st, To cali back some
of the Missionaries now on the
Fields, 2ad, To borrow more money
j to pay their expenses, and 3rd, For
us to come to the rescue of the
Board and send in our offering regu
jar ana noerany, inow which ol the
three? It appears to me that the
latter is the right and proper. May
we see our duty and do it.

CIVIC LEAGUE REST ROOM
The Bath Room Fixtures for the Room
Ordered,
The regular meeting of the Con- r
way Civic League was held in Ep
worth Hall oq May 1st. Not as
many ladies were present as we
would have like to had, but those
there were enthusiastic and^ the
meeting was an interesting one.
A letter from the president of the ^
South Carolina B^ederation of YVomans'
Clubs, asking that w5 pin
them was read by Mrs Malcolm Collins.
Joining this Federation met
whh the approval of tho league.
The chairman of the Rest Room
Committee reported that Mr. Chas.
Scarborough had been instructed to d
order the bath room fixtures and
that "The Town" was Kindly lend- ,
ing, to this work, a helping baud.
The work needed to be done on the
rooms, to be used as rest rooms, s
was mentioned and the league decided
to do its best to raise the finances.
The committee on Rest Room t
was continued.
It was moved and carried that an
amendment of the constitution, do- *'
ing away with dues, be repealed. As
the article non stands, each member c
of the Conway Civic League is required
to pay fifty cents as annual
dues. i
As it was thought that some of
our citizens would like to aid iu the
Civic League work, and especially c
in tho establishing of a rest room
and the placing of tho trash cans, it v
was deckled that a box for contributions
be placed at Conway Drug
Store- Dr. Epps will be asked to c
take charge of these contributions
and the league will bo grateful for
any assistance, large or small,
After discussing ways for the
league to raise money, the old time (
Dime Reading, was decided on. Mrs
Malcolm Collius kindly olTered her
home for this. i
Besides the different business attended
to, there woro some very ?
helpful discussions.
Half pass four was the hour appointed
for the next meeting. I

DRUGGIST GIVES MONEY BACK 1
\
Dodson's Liver Tone Gets a Four r
|Square Guarantee From Norton
Drug Store. {
When an article is sold a druggist
who is willing to give it his personal
guarantee, it's a mighty strong j
proof of real merit.
That's exactly the case with Dodson's
Liver Tone* It is a pleasanttasting,
vegetable remedy for a 1
(slow and sluggish liver. Since Dodson's
Liver Tone came on the mark I
et the sale of calomel has gone way
down. The reason is simply this:
Dodson's Liver Tone is safe and
harmless and guaranteed to be satis 1
m A. ~ n - i i #.
mctory?^aiomei is ouen uncertain,
sometimes dangerous, and no drug
gist wants to guarantee that it
won't knock you out of a day s work
and maybe send you to bed.
Norton drug store sells Dodson's
Liver Tone and guarantees It. For
you and for your children, it's a
good thing to keep a bottle always
in the house.
Norton drug store will give you
your money back if you think Dod
son's Liyer Tone is not worth the
price. "Keep your liver working
and your liver will not keep you from
working," is good advice to go by.

line that is bung put in be

The Steamer "Commanche", car yitig

P W Dimery, one of the success
ful small farmers of the lower seclioa
of Backs township, planted
Irish po'atoes for the mtrkets this
year, ho was hero last *%eek for a
supply of barrels to hold his crop.
He has been successful with strawberries
and other small truck, and
he will no doubt succeed with the
potatoes.
The friends of Sheriff J A Lewis
are evidently well pleased at his conduct
of the office since he took
charge about the beginniug of the
present year. Many criminals who
had run away and bien eluding the
officials have been arrested through
his fclVort and brought face to facu
with Justice. He has acted promptly
upon all process lodged in his
office, and he has a competent and
careful jailer in charge at the jail in
the person of Mr J W Johnson.
The civic league recently received
a shipment of six new carbago cms,
and these wero at once placed at
oonveninent places along the principal
business streets of the town, and
they are now in use. There seems
to be a disposition on the part of the
people working in the business
places along the streets, to u-e
these cans for dif-posing of the
waste paper and other trash that is
sure to accumulate. There will no
doubt be another lot of cans here before
very long to bo placed in the

is Vouched for, This Heats any Fish
Story I hat, Could bo Told,?Snake's
Pangs Happened to Strike on Each |
Side of a Finger,-'or C hild Would
Have lleen Injured.
One of the struugest experiences
with a snake ever related that in
this part of the oouutry, perhaps,
was told here somes days ago by a
gentlemen from the White Oak or
Adrian section of this county. Too
experience was with a rattle snake
pilot, thus makiug tho story more
interesting. Hat to the story itself.
It is related that Mr. J. C. Todd
while walking along a country path
near White Oak JSwawp with one of
his small children in his arms and
another small child walking aud
running along ahead of htm, the
child that was walking found a rattle
snake pilot wqich it at once
picked up in its arms. The snake
got tangled up iu the arms and
neck and shoulders (if tho child and
(undertook to strike the child's Laud.
As good fortune would have it, tho
snake's fangs caught ono on each
side of a linger, just grazing the
sit in, and the chilu was uninjured.
Mr. Todd got oussy when he saw the
Oattlo begin between tho child and
the snake. Hastily putting down
the baby ho was carrvintr. iu: ran to
the scene of the com bat, and grabbing
the rattler by the middle, he
whipped out its life around a pine.
One man who doubted the story,
went to the place and found a remnant
of the snake at the pine described
by Mr. Todd, and he found
oilier evidences which would show
that the story is perfectly true and
makes something to be set down in
ohe annals of the straugo and dangerous
experiences that this child
will dv u >tiesi run up against through
tue course ol its lile in mis world,
Legal Salosday.
Last Monday was legal salesday.
Sales were made by the Sheriff of
