Has Been Cut Short at
Least From 25 to 50 per cent
BY RECENT SNOW
So Say Those Who Have Been Over the
County and Have Seen and Talked
With the Leading Tobacco Farmers.
That the tobacco crop for 1914 in
this county has been cut short, or
rather will be, by reason of the short
age of plants, is a fact that cannot
be denied by those who have seen
and talked with the leading growers
of the weed. At tirst it was believed
that the plants had been only slightly
injured by the sudden snow that
began to fall on Wednesday February
25th, and which lay on the
ground for several days.
Several who have been travelling
through the county during the past
two or three weeks, especially
SberitT J. A. Lewis, say that the
crop this year, owing to the damage
by the snow will be cut short at least
rte ? * *
per ceni. ana pernaps an much as
50 par cent. It is also stated that
the farmers whose plants were killed
are making every effort to repair the
damage by sowing new beds. In
some sections of the county, these
new seeds are already peeping from
the ground: In other sections the
farmers realized their loss of the first
sowing somewhat later, and have
only recently planted the second
time. The trouble wich late plants
is tnat they are not so hardy as the
early planting, and should the
Spring be very dry they will not live
wnen transplanted.
It was only in rare instances that
the farmers had taken any precaution
against the snow, and those
who did, only stretched a double
canvas over the beds. The snow was
so unexpected that the farmers were
taken by surprise and there was
nothing could be done 01^ the spur
of the moment to save the seeds from
ii uuuoi uug mjfci ui 8UUw .
In many instances the farmers had
purchased a full supply of tobacco
featilizsrs, and now that they will
be unable to use it under ft tobacco
crop, they will have to apply it to
other crops at considerable los*, as
it will not suit the other crops to
well.
It is stated that by means of tl e
new beds that have been sown, if
the seasons are favorable to la e
plants, tha crop may not be cut
short more than about 25 per cent.
Tnis condition is unfortunate for
the reason that Horry *ave promise
of coming rapidly upward this year
in the m ittar of a la^ga yield. Tae
acreage would haye been greatly increased
this year if it had not been
for the snow.

The Court of Common Pleas
for Horry County
SPECIAL JUD6E RAMA6E
Convened on Last Monday Morning
for tha Disposition of Civil Jury
Causes,-Only a Few Cases Disposed
of.
The court of Common Pleas convened
here on last Monday morning
with Special Judge C.J. Ramage
presiding. The court was called at
10 o'clock. Only a small number of
people had gathered in town, the
crowd at these civil courts never
beiug so large as at the tdrms of
criminal coui ta. M. C. Woods of
the Marion bar was ir attendance
uDon the court, also was Mr. HmrhAR
of the firm of Mullins & Hughes.
The whole of Monday morning was
taken up with uncontested matters.
On account of the Illness of Hon. Ii.
R Scarborough, the cases in *hich
he was interested were continued,
so that early on Monday it was apparent
that the court could not last
longer thau through Monday and
possibly a pait of Tuesday.
The court convened at 2.30 for the
afternoon session, expecting to go
into the trial of the case of C.C.
Bullock vs. John Hodges. The witnesses
for each side were called, aad
the surveyor for the defendant was
not present- On this ground the
court continued this case, and there
was no other business for the court
to attend to and it adjourned sine
die on Monday evening.
No business was done aside from
the consideration of some motions,
and the argument of an injunction
matter in the case of J. B. Hughes
vs. L. V. Todd. The witnesses and
jurymen were really glad th*t the
court came to an end so quickly, as
they are very busy in their planting
at this time.

SANK WITH HEAVY LOAD
Overloaded With Fertilizer, the "Mitchell
C" Sank Last Sunday Night.
The steamer "Mitchell C" sank
last Sunday night at ber wharf here,
-carrying down a cargo of fertilizsrs
which had been loaded on Saturday
for points on the upper Waccamaw.
There was about 800 sacks of guano
aboard besides a miscellanous cargo
of other things. Some of this was
recovered from the Wctsr and still
more of it will be taken up and returned
to the factory for remixing,
but the loss under the most fortunate
conditions, by the time the
steamer is pulled up and righted,
will be somewhere between $lf>()0.00
and $3000 00
The exact cause of this disaster is
hard to tell. The employees aboard
it is said stated that they knew
nothing of the trouble until they
were obliged to get off the boat ti
seve themseles from drowning.
The boat had evidently caught up
on the edge of the bank and as the
ride went down during the night
caused the hull to careea toward the
middle of the stream.
, The fertilizers belonged t) the
firm of Burroughs & Collins Co.
Tuere was no insurance on the carl/O
The steamer "M.tchell C", was
used for carrying freight at this
time to points above Conway. She
was being > un by Capt. J. P. McNeill.
It will be several days before the
boat oan be raised and put into working
order again,
MRS. ANNIE CLARDY
Has Passed From This Life Into the
Great Beyond.
On the night of February 16 ,
1914, the angel of death visited the
home of Mr. A J. Clardy atd bote
through the pearly gates into the
presence of Gkd the precious spirit
of bis beloved wife, Annie Clardy.
She died the death that none but the
righteous die. She was a true wife,
a fond and loving mother and all of
that was dear to husband and children
she was the dearest. She was
the idol of her home and the warm
affections of her devoted hushand
and children were beautiful indeed
Nothing was too good for 'mother",
and their gentle ministries and unceasing
care and tenderness were
the outward expressions of a pure
unselfish devotion. She was always
of a meek and quiet spirit and yet
so queenly in her womanly dignity
that her friends could only feel that
they were in the presence of a choice
spirit.
. No murmur escaped her lips, but
a sweet settled peace, like a deep
silent river, calm and undisturbed.
She was dearly loyed by all who
knew her and her sympathetic nature
was well known by her friends
and neighbDrs and to them her spotless
life was a benediction. She has
pa s^d from our sight, though the
sweet memories of her will live on
in the hearts where an aching void
has been created.
Mrs. Oiardy leaves to mourn their
lost, a heart-broken husband, four
sons and one daughter, and a host
of relatiyes and friends.
