Which Covered This Entire
Section With White Mantle
NEARLY ALL DAY
The White Flakes Filled the Air, Succeeded
by a Night and the FollowingDay
of Snow and llurd Cold Sleet,
--Husincss Temporarily at a Standstill.
Last Wednesday while thoeoutt
of General Sessions was going 0u
the snow Wguu to fall in Conway,
and the air was full of the white
Hakes for the rest of the day until
late when those H ikes changed into
sleet. The snow began to fail in the
forenoon By night the ground
was covered to a depth of from four
to six inches. Late in the day the
sleet bewail to come and this continued
throughout Wednesday uight
and on Thursday morning early
there was no change, though it was
noticed that the temperature was
warmer than seemed t) be justified
by the great amount of snow and
sleet on the ground but by 10 o'clock
the sleet charged to snow ogain and
this continued to fall until about
noon Quite a number of people
from distant sections of the county
were caught here by the snow.
They made their separate ways 1
homeward as soon as they thought
they could brave it, and those with
teams nade their way with dillioulty.
Business in a general way was
placed at a stand still. Everything i
was fro/.au up at the lumber plants,
so that what Hi tie work could be '
done was with groat difficulty.
But the afternoon of last Thursday
was bright and sunuy, with not |
a cloud in the sky.

y<, the farmers have their Farmers'
Union. The ladies have their Home
maker's Club, known as the Worthwhile
llomemalcor's Club, organized
recently with thirteen charier members.
You see **13" is a lucky number,
perhaps some one bad rather
;all it 4a dozsn and one.' It also
tas a Poultry Club for the girls and
x>ys, Corn and Pig Clubs for the
iiaiuu ui uowiwr vjrowaus wus irieci
for breaking into the house of
another negro, Memory 13ellamy,
and taking there from one single r
oarreiied gun and a lot of groceries, 1
According to the testimony this 1
gun was found by Wheeler's wife i
leaning against the fence just inside 1
the gate Another witness swore <
he was called in a day or two later <
t>y Wheeler's wife and was asked to ,
identify the gun. He had heard
that Memory had lost one and told
him of the incident. Memory then i
took out a warrant against old '
Wheeler upon which he was tried.
Thero was no other evidence against ?
him, but everyone knows that i
Wheeler has been accused of steal- i
ing before, and in fact he was tried
many times and served five sentences.
Although there was a
strong doubt that ho was the gui.ty
party, the jury over-looked this and
found him guilty of the theft. This
incident is mentioned to show the
adverse circumstances under which
a man may have t) labor after his
character has once been succeafuily
impeached. Under the circumstances
in which Wheeler found himself,
although he may havo been hi
nocont, he found it impossible to
clear himself.

uVoter" suggests in another
column that ex-Governor John Gary
Evans of Spartanburg, met t oned as
a candidate for the Senate, would do
us more good in the Senate than
Gov. Blease There may be something
in what he says; but hardly
any use discussing it. Senator Smith
will be a candidate for ro-election
and he has been doing some very remarkably
good work for South Carolina
and the South. With such a
record as he has, both as a good
Democrat and a construct ve worker,
there seems to b5 little use in
discussing whether Blease or Evans
will make the better Sacutor.

John Gary Evans for Senator.
To the Horry Horald:
1 am told that John Gary Evan9
is being suggested as a canidate for
Senator from this State. I am glad
to hear it; for he has stood for
everything the people have been
wanting that Governor B'.ease has
stood for and is a better man
for the work. And ex-Governor
Evaus would not be handicapped by
an unreasonable antagonism to the
National Democratic Administration
like Governor ljlease.
South Carolina ini~ht lose a good
ideal in Banking and Commercial
j prestige so necessary to our development,
if Gov. Blease, with his
harsh and hardly j ist criticisms of
I the President and his alleged leaning
towards the Progressive Republican
party, should bo sent to
the Senate.
Ex-Governor Evans is friendly
with President Wilson and his Secretaries
and other strong men of
the Democratic Administration.
Gov. Blease, so far as can be gathered
from his own utterances, is much
more friendly with the Roosevelt
Progressions than the Democratic
patty. They both, I believe, stand
fur the same benefits to the State;
out ex-Governor Evans would certainly
do us more good. 1 hope he
I will come out,
