TRIMNALL Warrant Served Last Friday and Party is Tried in the Mayor's Court on Saturday Morning, the Main Witness Being Jennie Sarkis. E. W. Trimuall was arrested by the town authorities last Friday on a warrant sworn out before the mayor by Jennie Sarkis, charging that the defendant had sold a quart of liquor to her husband, Joe Sarins, for which he collected from Joe the sum of one dollar. The defendant was lodged in tho town lock up and Friday evening was set for the trial, 1 but at the hour, Joe Sarkis was incapacitated, in so far as acting as a witness was concerned, perhaps from the after effects of the quart, and for that reason the trial was < postponed until Saturday morning. Trimnall came here frcin Mayesville ' several years ago and married in the Homewocd section of the county. IIo has lived near that place ever since and has been farming for a living. He is said to have a brother at Mayesville. Mr. Trimnall came into town last Friday and showed a letter which he said he had received frooT his brother at Mayesville, or from some one who wrote for his brother, stating that hi3 brother was sick and at the point of death. He claimed to have no money and was asking aid in order to take the train to go to his brother. He tried to borrow some money at the Farmers & Merchants Bank, offering security on personal property, and showed the letter to the cashier. Later the bank obtained information to ihe ctl'ict that Trimnall had received a letier from h s brother at the time stated at Home? ood, and that the letter asked him to come to Mayesville to sign a deed with the brother for some property they wore selling at that place, and the letter which had been shown as evidence that the brother was at the point of death Was doubted. It was the same day that all this occurred that the charge of liquor selling wa9 brought against him. It was also stated that the liquor sold was not whiskey ordered from some mail order house, but was ac4..ftlL.

During the recent Conference of County Superintendents in Columbia, I talked with the State Superintendent about special taxes and state aid. He said that any school district that would vote a special tax now that he would pay dollar for dollar up to one hundred dollars on what the tax would raise in the district You see by voting a tax now you can get state aid to help in the present term of school and also to help you in your school next year, in other words, you will get your state aid a year in advance. There are only a few districts in the county which have not voted a snottittl t.;lX and I holinuo oil mill ? I * WIIV V V MAI TT 111 sooner or later. When you can get your state aid a year in advance seems to be an oppportune time. S. H. Brown. mm* i 9 i mm* $100 Reward, $100.

I p )AV, FEBRUARY 12th 19 CONWAY CIVIC LEAGUE Send Out Invitations for Now Members and Out of Seventy-live, Get Three, At tho meeting of the Conway Civic League last week, at which the oflieers for tho ensuing year wero eiAOted, seventy fllvo written invitations liacl been sent out to ladies of the tjwn who vero not members of tho league, inviting them to join tho meeting. July three out of the seventy-live responded. The meeting, however was well attended by the members of the league, and Mrs. M. W. Collins the president, read her anuual address, which we herewith publish in full as giving a good out line of tbj|?l moor tan t work accomplished by - the league the past year. Tue address follows: Ladies you h~S&B bSflld the reports from our other ?0Ioer^7f y^our president boo is required to mafro a report, althougn in her case lit is courteously called an address, 1 would like to say to you, that I feel very proud indeed of our little civic league, we have worked hard this past year, aud I am more than pleased tj say, wo have worked happily aud in perfect harmony. Shall 1 tell what we have dono this year. You remember at our last annual meeting, we had very little to report, our work up to that timo, having been mostly preparatory, though we had secured tho use of the little plot of ground we call the "Park", there was no fence around 14 a n/1 it/\ nt/\M 1 r L ? A! tx ^ ^ - ? ? 1 ' v uviu n\j nui ft LlUU UJUU UUUU IiUUTti on, Now 1 know it still looks very unpromising to the unitiatod, and maybe a little hopeless to some of the rest of us, but give us a little more time on that, I don't think it j will be quite so bare in a few months, and as soon us we can get a painter, those pust and rods shall be pointed, by the way 1 did not tell you that a gontlem.in stopped me on the street aud coniriouteci a gallon of paint toward that same end, so you see our bill will not be as much as we had exp eted. Now consider well. Do you know another town of our si/. 3, or for that matter, larger that has a more convenient place to rest, or a better ecjuipted Rest i Rooms than wo have? And when you are asked, who is responsible for these ' rest room3". Don't it make you feel good all over to be able to say why the Civic League did that. And just see what lovely roosting places we haye furnished for the men of our town. Did you ever see more comfortable garbage cans? Don't feel too oadly over it tl\ough, for the Georgetown men use tneirs for the same purpose, I haye seen them. Now we are financially pretty well cIT, we are ending the year with very.little work left over, and that is just such work as can best be done in the eauly spring which is close at hand, so 1 feel that all is well indeed with us. There are new thiol's roadv t, > hn trvhnn m\ oo %J - - ^ W V*A W ^ UO the league sees IP. lam sure thut we are on the highway , of suucess and that this year has been our real beginning. Now, we beiong to the Stutj Federation of Women's Clubs, the president of which body, Mrs, Coleman, has welcomed us most cordially, even enthusiast.cully and 1 hope that tho association with other clubs will be incentive to us that will lead us to greater success. In a little while, we will have our annual election of onioers. 1 want to ask you to give your best attmtion to this matter, tj vote for tho woman you think best fited for the otlice, not to make it a personal matter, but for the good of tho loaI gue. I am sure that we who haye served you tho past year, will if reelected do our best, but remember I we will not feel slighted or embarrassed in any way should you see fit to elect others in our places. It is in your hands, and we as well as yourselves wish what is best for the league. } v m m m Horrible Blotches of Eczema. Quickly cured by Dr. Ilobson's 1 Eczema Ointment. C. P.
