VOL XXVII 13 Of 10 Sl<1 Story of Resident Here Sued for Divorce at Reno LETTERS FROM GERMANY J. II. Loughborough, the Expert Paint<r and Decorator wns Sued by his AVife for Divorce in the Courts of Nevada,?Of Wealthy Parents, They Objected to the Match From the First Laid Plans no Doubt for the Suit. A sad story is thaL-of Mr, J. II. Loughborough, the expert painter and decorator, who for the past year or more has been residing at the Harbv residence just across the Lake. It shows the conditions allowed by the laws of a State where divorce is permitted. South Carolina has no such laws, thank you. Loughborough came to this place parhaps something more than a year ago. He rented the farm of J. D, Harby, Mrs Loughborough was not with him, tut it was understood that soon as he became settled and fixed in his new home, she would join him with their li.tio daughter, a bright child, i?Y< ui Use time he moved here until a fjw inoi.ths ago, Lough borougu received letters .from his wife mailed in Germany, where his wife's family had relumes, and where he supposed she was visiting, But he became aware of ihe scheme lhat had been worked on him, when, a month or two ig.\ he was served with a summons to appear in Reno, Nevada, in a suit foruivorce brought by his wife. She had been at Reno all of tho time, at ltast for the s;x months n ect ssary to gain a legal residence and become entitled to sue in the courts. The busbana employed an at toi ney end made answer, but the judge when the hearing camf; on tiaud that while the wife war not entitled to a diyoi ce on le gal grounds, still she had sued for it, and wanted it, and he thought best to grant it, It seems that Mrs. Loughborough is the daughter of a wealthy father, as he holds stock in the Carnegie steel properties, worth at least a half million dollars. The family objected to the match. As soon as tbo nusband moved to the South inteuding to bring his wife and child later, these plans wero no doubt laid to sepai ate the two by the decree of a judge at Reno. At Reno there are numbers of lawyers who make handsome fortunes doing nothing except prcsceuiii g suits for divorce. Due Bills in Books of SO.

That is ''selling snine," being at the rate of about 336 separate sa'es per hour, or near ly an average of six sales per minute. Selling & pile of tobacco at auction every ten seconds requires considerable vocal power and remarkable rapidity of utterance and to main tain this for nearly four hours is a tc wonderful test of vocal powers and physical endurance Yet this feat is accomplished by Mr C. O. Watts ? auctioneer at Cabell warehouse on Tuesday. This is Mr Watts' second a year with this firm. Ho is a North tl Carolinian and has had considerable experience though still a young man.

Bond,--Many of the Cottages Oceu pied,?People From Many Pnrts of the World Visit Myrtle Beach. ) >f Last Sunday might well be called the real opening of the season at 'J Myrtle Beach. The hotel had been y open for several weeks, and the iirst Sunday excursion was run on the Sunday before, but it was on last Sunday that the beach had its Iirst y real crowd of the season. The Sunday excursion train came through n Conway on shedule time, bringing a good crowd of pleasure seekers from Cbadbourn and tho other stations >. along the railroad. Many more people got on board the cars in Conway }' and. by tho time tho cars reached k ^ Myrtle Ileach there was tho usual v large Sunday crowd to unload at the foot of the sand hills. The crowd e was orderly and well behaved as a whole, A splendid dinner and sup,f per were served ot the Myrtle Beach >1 hotel. Thore were plenty of well h trained waiters, and there was no r guest who failed to recoivo the utIf , most of good attention. The day was spent in strolling along the d strand or resting in the pavilions or on the broad piazzas of the hotel;v The breezes were especially cool and 0 inviting, Many enjoyed thorn-', n selves for several hours in the surf, i (' One incident of disorder alone, , took place, and this was quickly c handled by special cllleer Todd who ' B was ou the grounds. It was reporte ed that a colored employee of tho 8 Trexler Dumber Co., had been shot l" in tho log by a white man, This oc0 cured quite a distance up tho beach near the restaurant kept by Joe Sirkis. No one seemed to have seen tho shot fired, but several hoard the ' report of the pistol and seen the nee gro fall. Special oflicer Rheuark of tho Allen mill works, and Special Constable Todd of Myrtle Beach asZ slated by United States Deputy Marshall J. T. Proctor, made the arrest and tho defendant Wesley Ward made a bond for his appearance at the sheriff's office in Conway at 2:30 n o'clock on Monday. There was some confusion for a time owing to the fact that no pistol vas found on * the delendant when arrested. This f difficulty created no excitement further than a small group around the place where it occured. Dr. Gregg ' attended tho wouuded employee, 1 Many expressed themselves as being pleased with the pleasures of q the day, and there is no doubt but f that iMyrtlo Beach will retain its reputation of being among the very best seaside resorts of the Atlantic ir firms; t, Li m m m B The recent rains did not lay the s dust for long.
