I do not approve of the present way of handliag the seed distribution on the part of the government, because I believe that many inferior types of seed are purchased, and in ! many instances harm comes from their distribution. I find the system in vogue here, however, of alloting to each Congressman a certain number of packages of seed. It is not my intention to send these seed te newspaper offices or other places to be handed out to anyone, but it is my purpose to mail seed to any white Democrat who cares enough for a package oj seed 13drop me a card, requesting me to send them. If therefore, you wish t) receive a package of either vegetable flower seed and will notify me which you prefer, I shall take great pleasure in complying with your request. J. W.

Kackley Last Saturday Night SEDUCTION CHARGED Warrant Sworn out by Miss Susie : Full wood Against Willie T. Kackley, Who is Arrested on Arrival of Train,?Kept in the Town Guard 1 House Until Sunday Morning, Then Moved to County Jail. Upon the arrival of tho late passenger train in Conway, last Satur day night, Constable John H. McCaskell, accompanied by W. S. Mc Caskcll, tho chief of police, boarded the cars, and placed Willie T. Rackley under arrest. Tho warrant hutj been sworn out several days ago by Miss Susie Fullwood, and lodged in the hands of the oilicer, charging the crime of seduction against young Rickloy. The act under which the prosecution is brought" makes provision for the marriage of the parties, this working a remission of the punishment, either before or after conviction. When first arrested Rackloy was placed in the town lock up to await developments. Oq Sunday morning ho was changed to tho county jail. When first placed in the guard house, tho defendant stated that he was willing to marry the young lady. He was advised to wait until Sunday morning thus giving him time to think over this serirus step which he intended to take in life. On Sunday morning a friend of the defendant was looking for Clerk of Court W. L, Bryan to procure a license. Later the defendant refused to agree to the marriage. This was just bofore he was changed over to the county jail. Later on in tho Jay and especially on Sunday night, parties were looking for the Clerk again to get the marriage license, but the oflicer was not iu. The defendant resided near Conway for some time, but recently wenc to Boardman, N C., where he had a position. He was origiually from the Wampee or Hand section of this county. The lady in question also came from the Hand section. For several months past she ha9 been employed in the homo of Mr. Wtn. H. Chryst, as a housokeeper. On Monday the couple got married and the defendant was released The Day of Specialists. This is a day of specialists. With two possible exceptions, there is no man that moaus more to the Sunday School work of the world than Mr. W. C. Pearce, and there is not a man on the International force more beloved by South Carolinians than he. Mr. Pearce's headquarters is in Chicago, and he is Associate General Secretary of tho International o J n - 1 1 A - TH* ounuay ocnooi /Mssociauon. Dor a number of years be was Teacher Training Superintendent, and now has special charge of the Organized Adult Bible Class Department. As a member of the State Sunday School Association Executive Committee I knew that arrangements were being made to have Mr. Pearce tour the State and visit "ten of the principal cities," so I immediately wont to work to haye Conway placed on the list. Mr. Pearce will be in the State ten days from November 29th until December the 9th, and I am ju?t in receipt of a letter assigning Con way the date of December the 7ih, The following is the list of places to be visited by the tour party: Spartanburg, Greenville, Newberry, Union, Columbia, Charleston, Sumter, Florence, Conway, and Bock Hill. It will be a great thing for our County to have Mr. Pearce visit us, and we will plan to give him as representative an audienco as possible. Let no dates be made to conflict, and let us all make our arrangements so as to be sure and hear Mr. Pearce. Paul Quattlebaura. Pres. Horry Co. S. S. Ans'n. m Presbyterian Church?Conway.

ISDAY, SEPTEMBER 18tl INHISTS UPON APPOINTMENT ? _ | . Governor Blcase Appoints Carly lc Dusenbury to Vacancy and Insists on it. Not long since, upon the recom mendatiou and requests of friends of the yourtf man, Mr. Carlyle Dus onb^ry, now holding a rcspousibk position with the Norton Dru^Com pany, was appointed by Governor isiease, to nil .the vacant scholarship in the Medical College at Charleston, S. C. Later the appointee received a letter, from O car W. Scbleeter, the Registrar of the Medical College, calling attention to certiau requirments in the way of at tendance at college in general branchos and the like, and it appeared that the appoii tinent might be turned down on these ground?. A copy of this lottcr must have been mailed at the same time to Governor Blease. Anyway, the following is a copy of tho letter which the Governor wrote to the Registrar, under dato ol September | 4th, by which it appears that he will insist upon his appointment. j We are not imformed as to the subsequent developments. September 4, 1913. Oscar W. Schleeter, E<q , Registrar Medical Collego of South Carolina, Chariest jn, S. C. Dear Sir: I have seen your letter of July 1 to Mr. Carlylo Dusenbury, of Todd ville, S C. 1 would like for you to imform me by what authority you can change the Act of the Legisla ure providing for tho appoii tment of young men to scholarships in the Medical College. Section 4 of that Act of the Legislature requires tho appointments to be made,' bub doos not specify any certain requirements at all, and I would be glad if the faculty of tho college would keep their hands out of affairs which are tirnnnrln r?.. f 1 ^ T l !_ I upv>i i > iui un vfuviuuur, lb IS all right for tho faculty to make reg ulations whore the Legislature has not interfered, but when tho Legislature steps in and lays down its restrictions, it would certainly seem t") me that the faculty of the Medical College would not consider themselves bigger than the Legislature which has created the college, and try to over-ride the Legislature. This young man was appointed by me to a scholarship, and is entitled to it, by my appointment, as Governor of South Carolina, under the Act of the Legislature. Very respectfully, Governor, ~ m m ~? I)r. Watson to Preach. Rev. E. O. Watson, D. I)., Presidert of the llorry Industrial School will preach at the Conway Methodist Church next Sunday morning at 11 o'clock. This is tho Sunday just proceeding the opening of the Industrial School. His subject will be "Some Ideals in Education." Everybody is cordially invited t) be present. Albert P.

W. i) Creel, who formerly lived in the neighborhood of Ilomewood, in this county, has removed to Brittona Neck some time since. He seems to like Horry much better however, and ho is thinking of moving back.
