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.

with an automobile, disorderly eonduct
and reckless driving on Augu?t
12th, came up for the second hearing
the case having been tried on Au^u3t
17th, with the rosult that the
jury failed to agree.
At the second trial on Monday,
the same thing was the result, to
wit, a mistrial, the jury again failing
to find a verdic t At the former
hearing the ordinance providing a
speed lim.t for automobiles in the
town could not be found. 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. No time was
fiixei for a third hearing in the
matt r.
Japanese Walnuts.
W f. Slnulfttnn n.n nnlorni,iQlrir?
farmer and fruit grower of Bucks
township, brought to the Herald
man last week, two bunches of Japanese
walnuts. They boat any nut
of this kind yet produced in this
section oftheStata. In one of the
clusters sent in by Mr. -Singleton
there are twelve well formed nuts,
and in the othor fourteen. They
are of line tlavor and are something
new to most growers of nuts in this
section of Horry County.

A GREAT MARKET
Ih That Built up by the Tobacco Ware
houses Here This Year.
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.

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.

EtSDAY, SEPTEMBER lit
FARMERS HAVE IiARHAU E
The Conway Hoard of Trade Jolnetl
Forces With the Tobucco
W arcliouses.
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.

who catch the small mullets anc

that there should be a law prohibit* v

mullets would have a chance tc

caught in t lis state every winter

Tiiero is from four to six boats from

Of course they keep the South Carn-ej

VALUABLE COW KILLED W'

was cut up into sausage moat, and je
which mi^ht have been serious to

As the train was tfoin# ahead at
