NOTICE
i*. Some time in July I was in the
Pee Dee sfctiou working in the interest
of the Farmers Warehouse. I
calhd on Mr Cap Martin and found
bim curing tobacco. 1 advised Mr
Martin to cure his tobacco a certain
way. He did so, aud after it was
cured some one told Mr Martin that
he had ruined his tobacco.
One of my competitors seemed to
enioy telling the farmers that Lawrence
(iid not fcuow his business, and
olted tho curing of Martin's tQbacco
as a basis for argument. J sent Mr.
Martin word to bring me his tobacco,
and if 1 had caustd him to ruin
it, r w. u'.d pay him for same. He
made two grades of it and after getting
it a'rmst wet he sold one part
for 17,75 and the other for $15.00
per hundred. I consider that a fair
price for sand lugs, especially after
they had been ruined as my competitor
tried t} make it appear.
LBoys, you had better stop listen-1
ing to ''Gas Bags" and bring your
next load of tobacco to Lawrence
and get his advice how to cure the
remainder of your crop. You will
fiivyays g:*t good price* for your to
bacoo and you can e? j ?y tf?c peace
and prosperity of your neighbor who|
sells with rna.
It i9 a pity how some go d people
are fooled part of the time Big.
you cannot fool all the people all the
t e. n< \s f' 'o p il c crowd
Ccino on to the Farmers Warehouse
and your wife will rot grumble, be
cpuse the over plus will enable you
to buy bo m^ny extra things for the
little tots.
Lawrence is always rrady to say
"Drive in" you never go wrong
corning this way Load your wagon
and do not listen to false promise* I
but drive siraight to the old reliable
Farmers Warehouse. Adv.

There was a game of ball between
the Lor is team and Conway on last
. Friday evening. Somehow the Loris
k team could not do much with the
j Conway boys after the (irst inning,
and wh( n the live innings that wore
Q played ended, the score showed that
s Conway had won by 18 to 2. The
e game was quite interesting during
the lirst inu'ng, but after that the
beat or something got the best of
] some of the boys and the playing
0 was not yery lively.

that service in itself will cause the

Will Benefit the Resort. j
The busines interests at Conway
recently (iled a petition with the
Railroad commission of thi3 State I
asking that tho Atlantic Cjast Lino)
bo required to run its trains on Sunday
the same as on other days of the
week, so that the passenger train on
Sundays would como in at 1:15
bringing the mail as on week days,
and connecting with trains on the
main line the same. The commission
ordered the chungo and it was
made, but the railroad company
could not run three trains a day
each way, and therofore had to cut
out the early morning Sunday passenger
train botweeu Chadbourn
and Myrtle Beach.
The matter of running th<? late
trains on Saturday nights on to
Myrtle Beach from this point and
I returning early on Monday mornings,
and was then taken up with
I the Atlantic Coast Lino Railroad
| Company, and last week the rail
iI'uu company granted tho request
effective last Saturday night. The
management of the hotel at Myrtle
Beach regards this as being of more
benefit to this resort than the early
Sunday morning trains. With this
schedule people at Florence, Marion,
Mullios, Chadbourn, Tabor and Loris,
and many other points, will bo
able to finish up their business of
Saturday night and still catch the

BOUND OVER TO COURT 9
Case Heard Crowing out of Shooting ?
at Myrtle Beach, and Prosecutor BR
Arrested at end.
Magistrate W. H. Chestnut hold a fl
preliminary hearing last week in the jfll
case of the State vs. Owen Ward, 1H
charged with assault and battery. |||
The case grew out of the trouble at ill
Myrtle Boftoh on Sunday, about four |1|
weeks ago, when Will Iliggin, a \
negro got shot in the leg, and cttt- fl
cers found difllculty in locating tho viJi
proper man to arrest. The hearing |H
in the case was delayed on account I |
getting witnesses, until last week. jfl
For the State two colored witnesses IB
testified, and they told it all in favor fl
of tho prosecutor Higgin, and
against the defendant who they said
did tho ahpotlQg without apparent I
provocation. Finally Edwards, a
white boy, the 0110 who kept tho I
bathing suits for .)oe Sarkis, was
put on tlio stand and according to I
his testimony, Will Higgin had a
pistol and was drinking and brat "B
dishing the weapon around the place
and cursed at the defendant anel fl
tried to pull the pistol from his hip
pocket, This last witness said that m
as Higgin walked back with his hand
in his hip pocket, Ward fired at him, IJ,
striking Higgin in the leg As a
result of the hearing the defendant r
was bound over to the higher court,
and Will liiggiu was arrested and
placed in jail on the ehargo of car- |
ryiu# concealed weapons and perhaps
other charges.
