N ^ j ^ . . VOL XXVII TftNlpi" B. W. Jordan Has Automatic Car Checker WILL DEMONSTRATE IT Mr. Jordan and his Mother Paiges j Through Conway on way Home,? I What tho Head Electrician of the Southern Railway Says of the Device, Records Passing of Cars. B. W. Jordan, who was born in the Gall van ts Perry sec tion of this County and who has been living in Georia for a number of years, was in Conway last week accompanied by his mothor, Mrs. S. A. Jordan, lie spent several days with rolatives and friends at his formor home. lie Is tho inventor of an electrical appliance known as a car checker, the purpose of which is to keep a complete and perfect record of all cars passing over u railroad. He patented this devloo more than a year ago. Tho object of tho Invention is to keep track of tho rolling stock of railroads by accurately recording at the ditTerent stations tho time of the passing of a car, the number of the car, its weight, the company to which it belongs togetb er wua uny otuer data pertaining t-j it that may be of use in identifying it, To effect this record, a series of circuit controllers are located on the track preferably between the rails and each car is provided with a series of tappet*, looat3d in a particu-; lar manner to operate certain of these circuit controllers for the purpose of transmitting the information recorded to thut particular car, other tappets being arranged so that fc..oy may transmit other identifying characteristics. The keeping up with cars and the work of tracing them when lost is often a source of groat trouble and ex pen so to railroad. Mr. Jordan says that the idea came to him when working several years ago as a car checker down in the Mississippi Delt* as he oltcn had to be out in water waist deep, and he ! felt that if an automatic checker could be invented, it would do away I with all the inconvenienco and hard work he was going through with then. He has recently returned from Washington where the head electrician of trie Southern Railroad Co., said there is nothing to keep the device from working and that it is one of the best thought out devices that he has ever seen. Mr Jordan will return to Moultrie, Georgia, where he now lives, in a few days. Ho is preparing to give a demonstration of his invention at Valdosta, Ga. Another Mistrial.

At the hearing on la^t Tu:sday the ordinance as copied in the minutes of conncil, when it was introduced in 1911, was produced, but it did not appear that the ordinance, which providosa speed lim.t of 8 miles per hour, had ever been ratified or approved by the council, and on this ground Lewis moved to dismiss the charges agi inst him.

Although the height of tho tobacco season has been reached, still it appears that large quantities of leaf tobacco are still being sold by tho farmers at tho three warehouses of the Conway market. Almost tho entire crop has boen oured, but sorae of it still romains in the barns await ing the necessary handling and prep aratlom for bringing to market. An examination of tho sales records at each of the warehouses during the week ending with September 'lib, shows that tho uniform high prices on all of the bettor grades is til 1 being maintained. The people are not so much inter 01 ted in the total quantity handled and told through our warehouses as they are in tho individual growers of tobacco who have sold their crops hero and who havo received for thorn prices which have brought them a profit It is apparent that tho total araouut of money paid out to tho farmers for tobacco this yoar, at this place, will amount to an enormous sum. As a result of the good market at Conway, tho pricos havo been good and many farmers will be encouraged to Increase tho acreage that will be planted next year, it is said that ouo farmer in this oounty had something more thau twonty acres planted this year and up to a short time ago he had sold nearly $5,000,00 worth of tobacco. Tho soils in this County suit tho production of a good grado, and this crop is, no doubt, a very good one. At Horry Tobacco Warehouse. M. A. Cannon, 175 pounds at 181 cents.

CONWAY, S. C., rHU) or Warrants for Whiskey Selling Fall Like Hail IN GURLEY SECTION MAck Mjshoe, and M. G. Ward, Hoy Tyler, are Indicted or Cross Indicted on These Charges,--When the Cases Were Called Before Magistrate Chestnut, all Waived Hearing. Five or six warrants charging tko illicit sale of whiskey in the Gurley section of this County, were called up for hearing and inver ligation last Wednesday before Magistrate W EI. Chestnut. The charges wore brought by Roy Tyler against Mack Mishoe, M. G. Ward and his wife, Owen Ward, and perhaps one or two others, charging the spiling storing and transporting of intoxi eating liquors. On the othor hand there was a cross iudiobmcnt brought by Mack Mishoe against Hoy Tyler, alias, W. Ii. Tyler, charging with substantially tho same offense against the laws. There were many people in tho court room from that section of the County, interested either as witnesses for tho State, or as mero spectators, Tho defendants has demanded a preliminary hearing, but when the oases were called up for that purpose, the bearing was waived and the parties gave their bonds conditioned for their appearance at tho next tnrm of tho court cf General Sessions, convoning the latter part of this month. Some one at the trial said that these warrants did not represent half of them and that other warrants would be taken out in the near future. Iq addition to the charges jf whiskey soiling, there was also a warrant for breach of peace against some of the defendants, This however, was not called upon that day, but it will be heatd later.

The Conway Board of Trade and the Tobacco Warehouses joined hands and gave a barbaoue*and pit nic last Thursday in behalf of the | farmers of the county and the others who have supported and patronized tho Conway Tobacco Market during the season that will come to a close about the first of October. The event had bten advertised for some time, and there are many who believe that more of this kind of thing is needed to bring tho town and the country people closer together in matters of business, and theso attended from the interest that they felt in the matter regardless of whether ihey had any tobacco planted or not. When tho crowd alt got together, it was a great crowd indeed. It would be hard to recall any targe circus that has ever brought a larger crowd together in Conway. rni \_ i ne oaroaoue uinnor was served i>t the Farmers Warehouse and the street at ihat point was crowdod with people during the middle part of the day. Speeches were made by several, including Hon. Uobb. B. Scarborough, The tobacco planters and the buyers of the weed mingl d together with the Conway business men, and the day passed otT quietly aud was groatly enjoyed by all those who participated. The barbaeuo meats were line and consisted of pork, beef and mutton. to was nicely prepared and thero was plenty for ovcrybody. The day was rather hot, but there was very little rain.
