How About It.
It has been quite a while since we
Via >e heard anything about the re?
railroad which i< was confidently
ex pec ud the Sea Board Air L<n?
would build t Conway, in corrp^t'tion
with the Atlantic Coasc Bine,
and extend ' g the line which the
former na i.ed company already has
running through Marion county, by
way of Miill'n*?, and from that point
to Allison's Ferry on the Pee Dei
river. This is a matter that we
would not like to see 1* t alone for
very long at a time. Let the Conway
Biard of Trade take the matter
up again and perhaps it will not be
long before we will hear something
moro about this great move in the
progross of C m way and Horry

CONWAY, S. C., THURSD
1. I lll ii
By Mrs. Cox, a Divorcee in
California
PERHAPS KNOWN HERE
Many People Believe He is a Son of
Rev. N. K. Melton, a Methodist
Preacher of Former Years.
Tho daily papers lait week contained
an account of tie killing of
one Mrs. Cox aud her daughter, and
a man named W. M. Melton, in California,
tho three bodies being found
dead in a lodging house. It was
supposed that Mrs. Cox, with whom
Melton had been int mate, had just
learned of the existence of a Mrs.
Melton in Los Angeles, California,
and had shot Mellon and her daughter,
and then turned the weapon on
herself.
Many people here will remember
the Rev N K. Melton, a Mifchodist
preacher, lie had a son named
Walter, and it is stated by some
that his initials wore "W. M." Rev.
N. K. Mellon was well known in this
couLtysomething like tifteen years
ago. The following dispatch from
Spartanburg, dated January 9.h,
seems to bear out the supposition
| that W. M Melton of tho dispatch
and Wa?tjr Melton, are one and the
same. Following is toe Spartanburg
Dispatch:
Spartanburg, Jan. 9 ?W. M. Melton,
the attorney, who was mysteriously
killed at Los Angeles, Cal ,
last night, was, it is believed by
many heie, a Soartauburg man, who
has seveial brothers and sisters here.
If this is true he was a son of the
late Rev. Newton K Me.ton, long a
prominent mi mber of the South
Carolina Confetence of the Methodist
Episcopal Church, South. Mr.
Melton's relatives here have received
no word from Los Angeles concerning
the tragedy, and hoped taut by
a strange coincidence the man slain
may be somebody ehe of identically
the same uame, profession and place
of residence, out a special to the
Herald from Los Angeles last night,
tends to confirm the supposition that
Melton was the Spartanburg man.
Lost or Stolen.
Lost one mule and buggy, from
near the guti of Dext*r tiarrelson

STOLE TWO HIDES
1L L. Shaw, Well Dressed Stranger
Remained Here for Some Time,
Then Disappeared.
II. L Shaw, is tho name of a well
dressed stranger who made his up
pearanco here on tho streets about
two weeks ago, stating thct on account
of his eyes which were giving
him trouble, he could not secure a
job but had decided to come here
uud remain for sevi ral months and
gt t well. Ills eyes had the appearance
of beiug weak, but otherwise
he had a good face, and was well
dressed for a man who had no visiolo
means of making a living.
One of the places where he hung
out for some of tho time was the
store of Scherr & Schorr. In the
back end of the store was a quantity
of fur purchased by tho Mrm in tho
mercantile business. Among tie
lot wore two mink hides. One day
Louis Schorr was packing up the
hidos to ship a portion ol them, and
he had been told by his partner to
sort out the minks and ship them
later to another house. After tin
shipment of other bides had gone
ill, Isaac Seherc missed tho two
mink hides and decided ihat Louis
hud naeked them im Uw il.r/
r ?? j-? KJ J IIIIOHUH
w t'a ihe others and shipped them
c-IT. Lie wrote the house ;i nl as nod
them to ship the mink hides hack
ny parcel post. To I soac's surprise,
on last Friday morning, a Mr. Anderson,
who sells fur to the firm,
called and otlered to sell him the
identical two mink hides he had missed.
As to one of them there wore
peculiarities about it by which he
was abla to identify his property.
Anderson, as it turned nut, had
bought lie two hides from .Joe Rabil.
When asked about it, Rabil
said he purchased them from 11. L
Shaw. This hippened cu Friday
evening, and Rabil had bought tiem
the ni^ht bofore. Shaw had been
uoirdiugat the Waccamaw Hotei
.dmost next door to t 10 store ol
Schorr & Schorr. Enquiry at the
uotfcl disclosed the fact that Shaw
had left on tho early morning train
and had failed to settle his boaro
bill amounting to $20 00.
It is said that Shaw is married
and has a wife at Whitoville, N. C
Steps will no doubt be taken to get
him back to answer for his crime.
J. H Driver, a shoemaker, i t ites
that he knows Shaw, and that Shaw
has been in trouble with the courts
frequently before this*

Papa bore his suffering bravely I
and never failed to smile, papa, you

Since God was thy rans? m,
Thy guide and guardian,
He gave thee, He t iok the,
And will restore thee,
There is no pain, nor grief, nor

And meet your kindred,
Happy in the skyes.
