IN MAYOR'S 601'
Jennie Sarkis Swears Out
Warrant For
E. W. 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.

neighborhood.
Jennie Sarkis was the principal
witness against Trimnall a** the
trial. She stated that she saw the
sale made.
At the call of the case the defendant
pletdtd guilty to the charge and
was lined in the sum of $50.00.
To Trustees and Patrons.
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

your state aid a year in advance
seems to be an oppportune time.

An Announcement.
Having been appointed as colporter
at the recent session of the
Statee Mission Board upon the recommendation
of t hlast session of
the Waccamaw Association, I hereby
announce my oandidacy to serve
our people in the above capacity,
not only the Baptist Demoniua ion,
but all the other denominations as
well.
My platform is to assist anyone to
supply their homes with good books
ond literature. I advocate none
but the best.
My services are to bo free, not expecting
any salary, and the association
will not be put to auy expouse
for my services. My only compensation
will be the satisfaction of
helping to place good books and
literature into our homos.
Our denominational papers and
Missionary Journals, and such
periodicals as the "Sunday School
Times" (weekly $1.00) "ChVistiau
Herald" (weekly 1. 60), "American
Motherhood" (monthly 1.00), "Little
Folks" (monthly 1 00), and many
others should occupy a place in our
homes. 1 take all tje above nam id
and know what they are- I can secure
any of them for those who will
confer with me.
Probably there are some of our
christian men and women who are
longiDg to do some christian service
and would like to contribute to a
fund to supply books and papers to
those who desire them, but are too
poor to buy. 1 shall be glad to communicate
with them who are thus
inclined
We want no one to be debarred
from the privilege of haying good
literature in their homes, even if
they are too poor to afford it.
I am in a position to get any book
on any subject at the lowest cost
possible if it is in print.
My time is too much occupied to
make a regular canvass of the
county in the interest of the work,
but 1 shall be glad to liill any ap
pointments myself, or get someone
else to sneak atanv nhniv.h mihaj
ing me to do so, when it is possible
for me to do so, I propose to do
the most of my work through correspondence,
and can fill appointments
to talks.on Sundays.
I would litre very much to get the
co-operation of every christian man
and woman in the county, and shall
be glad to bear from those who may
be interested in the work,
Yours in the work,
C. H. Snider, Colporter.

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.
