Where Dispute has Arisen
About the Public Landing
WILL COME UP
I
In The Case now on the Docket to be
Tried Next Week in the Court of
Sessoins, in Which T. B. Cooper is
the Prosecutor. i
Amony the matters to be tried in
thecouitof General Sessions next I
week, in which interesting questions 1
will be raised, is the case brought I
by the State against the firm of J.
M, Stalvey & Co., of Socastee alleging
in the affidavit that a public 1
landing on the branch waters of the I
Waocaraaw Riyer at Peach Tree
Ferry has b3en obstructed by the
erection of a warehouse and platform,
and by tie erection of a fence
across the open road-way leading (
from the Socastee public road down
to this public landing, which the pa- <
pars allege has been used by the <
public for forty years past for re- 1
ceiving and delivering freight. Tne |
witnesses bound oyer for the State
are George Stalvey, S. S. Sarvis,
Mood Alston, R, D. 0?vens, C. S
Causey, M. F. Sarvis, and F. A.
Burroughs. The list of witnesses
f/lP t llO /lofan/ln m f o Uno
IU1 vuu UUIUIIWUII no UU3 IIW L UCCU I11CU
but it is supposed that they will be
quite a number. The prosecution
is brought under the law prohibiting
the obstruction of neighborhood
roads that have been in uninterrupt
ed use by the public for a period of
twenty years or more. Several
cases of this kind havej. arisen" iu
this couuty before. Jul* many of
them the deft^d^pte^were required
to take oytfc obstructions and
^ ' mi 1*4*
open the ways. The case now on
me acckct will take a day or two to
try and wi1! be interesting on account
of the intricate legal questions
that will be raised for the decision
of the court.
The defendants are represented by
Mr. Walter Hazard of Georgetown,
and the prosecutor, Mr. T B. Cooper,
of Socastee, by Rott. B Scarborough
and H. H. Woodward of
the Conway bai.
The landing where the difficulty
has arisen is well known to people
passing between this point and Soc
astee. It is situate along by the
bold creek into which the steamers
of the Waccamaw River turn to discharge
freight at a landing on the
high banks, with trees draped with,
the rraches of water where the
branches ccme tr get her makes the
place a pretty scene, that will always
tc remembered.
Tried at Tabor, N. C.
L B Watson, who is running a farm
for H. B Harrington in this county
was accused rectntly by his employer
of selling hay from the place,
contrary 11 orders, the prosecution
being pushed by J. W. Johnson
Esqr , of Marion, who also has an
interest in the place. The case
came up for trial at Tabor, N. C., on
last Ti.ursday, and the magistrate
dismissed the case, owing to a lack
of evidence.
The Stroud Killing Next Week.
One of the oases that will create
more interest tian usual that will
be tried in tbe court next week, is
of the State vs. Burroughs Stroud
and John Hooks, charged with the
murder of L. C. btroud, a prominent
farmer of Floy'ds township. The
killing occured on Sunday November
oOtb. It appiartd from the
news items at the time that these
parties became involved in a difficulty
and the two boys above mentioned
sbct him to death
The two boys have be. a out on
bail for some time. Attirneys are
emp'oyed on b th fides of tie case,
and there are a number of witnesses
to be sworu for the State and for
the defense.

Pastor Welcomed Home.
Rev and Mrs A. D Betts of the
3onway Methodist Church returned
home last Saturday noon after an
Absence of throe weeks in New Jersey
where Mr. Betts went to hold
evangelistic services. In their absence
the Ladies' Aid Society went
into the parsonage and refitted the
dining room. Upon the arrival of
the pastor and his wife the new tabic
was laden with g<oi things to eat
for the hungry travelers. Cheerful
fires had been staitjd in several of
the rooms of the parsonage and a
committee of ladies from the Society
were on hand to extend a hearty
welcome in prffson. Mr II. W. Ambrose
met the train with bis car and
carried Mr and Mrs Betts up to the
parsonage. The refitting of the
dining room was an entire surprise
to the uastor and his wife.
On Sunday morning Mr. Betts
publicly thanked the ladies for their
much appreciated kindness. He also
spoke of how the people of Conway
had endeared themselves to him by
this and many othor courtesies. Au

Several Negro Murder Cases.
In the court next week Sam Baney
Bellamy will be tried for the kiliing
of another negro at Little Uiver the
latter part of last year. The killing
arose out of family troubles between
two colored families. The defendant

and is in jail awaiting trial.
Another murder ca*se is one against
a negro woman oharged with the
murder of a negro man at a supper
Ust ypar. She too has had to remain
in j iil awaiting her trial for
several months. Besides the im
portaut cases there are a large number
of the lesser crimes and misdemeaners

cases.

The Nice Country Dwelling
of Mr. and Mrs. B. F. Moore
FURNITURE LOST
With Exception of a Few Things, and
Sonic of the Outhouses Were Consumed
by the Flames,?Caught From
Fire at Wash House.
About 8 o'clock last Monday eveD.
ing, the handsome country home of
Mr. and Mrs. 13. F. Moore, situate
just beyond Homewood on the Cool
Spring road, was burned up, together
with some of the outhouses situate
near by the main dwelling. The
lire is said t> have caught the wash
house from some that was being
used ut a wash pot in the yard.
From this the llames caught the
smoke house or some other small
out building, and next spread to the
main dwelling, and the flames had
nearly completed their work when
discovered, or at least had gone so
far that it was impossible to save
the buildings. So far as is known
here there was no insurance, whatever,
on the buildings.
It is stated that most of the members
of the family were off in the
Held. One of the children perhaps
was in the house, but failed to discover
the fire in time to do anything
t) st xy its course.
Most of the furniture and things
were lost in the burning building.
There was no time to get much of
the furniture and clothing out. The
strong wind that was blowing all
day last Monday made the tlames do
their work quickly.

they all creaked under the load. i

night and a negro woman wa? cut
severely in the arm, so that a physician
had to be called to tike several

sheriff was called to arrest the negro
man who did the cutting.
There was a petition in circulation
recently for the signatures of
freeholders, to have an election for
extending the limits of the Town of
Conway, so as to take in the populous
section lying near the colored
school building in the western portion
of the town. At last accounts
there was a uumbor of signers already
on the petition, This is the
portion of the town where the colored
blind tigers flourish, arid
hardly a week passes that there is
not a serious fight, a cutting affray,
[ or even a murder now and then. By
taking this section in as a part of
the city, and subjecting it to the
police protection, there will be some
chance of stamping out these troubles.
