ROBERT I). OWENS
Well Known and Aged Citizen of Socastee,
(ioes to his Reward.
Robert D. Owens died at his home
:n Socastee on the 11th day of March
1914, ot the ripo age of 714 years, 11
mouths and 21 days. He is survived
by a wido*, three sons and one
daughter, and seven grandchildren,
all of whom are sad indeed over the
lo?s of a g >od husband and loving
father. Ho professed faith in Jesus
Christ about ten years ago. While
we bow in humble submission to the
will of the Father who doetb all
things well, still we feel that there
is a vacancy in_our home which never
can be filled.
The community has lost a good
citiz?n, and a kind neighbor. He
was confined to his bed for six
months and about two weeks, and
was mindful of his condition up to a
few hours before his death. He bore
his trials with patience, and seemed
to be perfectly willing to go His
remains were laid to rest at the
Socastee cemetery on March 12th,
1914. The funeral service wafe conducted
by the Rev Mr. Scoggins.

There was no reply to the letter and
they wrote him again on February
20.h, that no reply had boen received,
and that they had heard nothing
from him in relation to an appropriation
for carrying ou this important
work on ttje longest river in

they wore still wi'hout any reply
It is stated that so far no account of
any appropriation for carrying on

see greater interest manifested
without delay.

Taken Out for a Marriage
With Girl Under Legal Age ?
i
FALSE AFFIDAVITS 1
t
Supposed to Have Been Taken Be j
fore J. S. BufTkin, Notary Public, j
Near Norton, S. C. in 1912,--Parties c
Now in Wilmington. ! ?
A gentleman by the name of 1
L ttleton of Wilmington, N. C., was i
in Conway several days ago, investi- 1
gating the marriage of his daughter,
Annie May Littletou to James
Conners in the year 1912, An ex ?
amination of the Marriage records
in the oflice of the Clerk of the ^
Court, shows that on June 29th, j
1912, the license to these patties to I
marry was issued by the Clerk on ?
the two affidavits, one by the young J
man and one by the young lady.
The two affidavits were made be- c
fore J. S. BufTkin, Notary Public, i
The one by the young man swears
that ho was nine-teen years and one
month of ago, yvhilo that by the <
youug lad}' states that she was ]
eighteen years and one month of
age. On the back of the document
on which these two attidavits are
filled, is the marriage certificate, t
signed by J. S. BufTkin who perform- ^
ed the ceremony on September 15th, g
1912, and bearing the signatures of [
the two contracting parties. What
throws doubt on the affidavit of the
young lady as to her age, is the g
great difference in her signature as
it appears at the bottom of the aflidavit
as to her age, and her name as
it apptai'3 signed at the bottom of
tne certificate dated only a few
mo .ths later, ller signature to the a
nnwt.iflnnfa ic in a \rrtiir?ir (?irl 'c
I UI11UU VU to lu^ J w M 11^ ^ * u VV/1U
nand showing that she had beou i
trained to write a smooth Mowing 1
hand. Her supposed signature to t
the affidavit is quite different, show- s
iug that it was written by a different
person and by one who had an t
untrained hand, Novertheless^these e
affidavits were sent in to the Clerk v
of the Court by the aforesaid notary f
public and the license issued as the C
clerk was required by law to do, and
the parties were married by Buffkin i
on September 15th of the same year.
The girl's father says that Annie R
May was only thirteen years old at S
the tixe. She tells her father that
she signed nothing before the t
license was obtained, and that she a
was not asked by the notary as to a
her age at all. The newly wedded
couple after the marriage in Sep- a
tember 1912, 11 rially drifted back to
Wilmington, N. C., and both of h
them are there at this time, but
they have parted and do not live to- c
gether. An action for divorce will d
be brought by her against the man
in the courts of North Carolina, c
Aside from the divorce action, there ?
will doubtless be some criminal proceedings.
a
There is no blame attached to the
Clerk of the court in such mattjrs,
If the proper affidavits are presented
to him he is obliged to issue the (
license. The matter re9ts with the
notaries and others who may administer
the oaths. A graye injustice
was done this young lady,
who was a mere child. She was J
pretty and well grown for her age,
but her tender years lacked the
judgement and discretion necessary
to be used by any young woman in i
selecting her a life partner. Her 1
judgement wad 100 young to see me
danger and to understand the tricks 1
that wore worked to get her into 1
this marriage before she haJ arrived
at the lawful age.
The incident is published for what
it may be worth in deterring ethers
In Loving Kemembrance.
Mrs D. L, Morrison died on March
4th. Before her marriage she was
well known as Miss Australia Hin1
son, one of the leading teachers in
the public schools of this county,
1 always wide awake in the cause of
education. She was a loving wife
and she is survived by ft sorrowing
) husband, one son, four brothers,
three sist'rs, and an invalid mother,
and hosts of friends, and distant
. relatives. The remains were inter- ,
red near her home in the State of
' Georgia. One brother, Hesekiah
1 and one sister Mrs Sanatha Jordan.
' were present at the funeral. All
r was done for her that loving hands
made possible. She was hard to
give up. We all feel sure she is at
rest at last.
She joined the Biptist church early
in life. She had just entered the
35th year of her age. No words
: can tell the anguish we feel at losing
such a dear one.

When one whom we all know and

as Mr Collins has, it's proof
that the facts are substantial. Mr.
Collins' story should be read by
every Conway citizen, it's a vital interest
to eyery home here. This is

medicine and act just as represented,
says Mr. Collins, i have
taken them when sutlering from kid

have been greatly relieved. I have
no hesitation in endorsing Doan's
Kidney Pillp."
Mr. Collins is only one of many
Conway people who have gratefully
endorsed Doan's Kidney Pills If
