ON THE CONSTRUCTION OF A J
TIMBER DEED IS RENDERED
ipSUPRFME COURT OF STATE i
Holds in the Case of Minshew vs. j
Atlantic Coast Lumber Corpora- j
tion, That Under the Language <
Contained in the Deed. Rights '
Were Forfeited.
4 Many thousand acres of land in
Horry County and surrounding counties
are covered at this time by timbep
options or deeds, all executed
about the year 1898 to one Charles
Marthinson, Agent, others to Freeman
Farr or R. L. Montague. The
rights of Marthinson, Farr, Montague,
who were all acting independent,
sooner or later fell into the hands
Joi various lumber companies who
purchased from them.
Marthinson had more options than
anybody else, in fact, he was the
originator of this scheme in this
section of buying up large timber
tracts with long number of years for
removing, whereby he is said to havemade
a large fortune from the profits
>of his resales to other companies.
Jliesides the ones above mentioned,
there may have been others not now
in mind who also got the idea from
Marthinson and bought all they
could. This option scheme, however,
had been worked in other States before
that, but it was only in comparitively
recent years that these options
were taken into Courts for the pur4
,1 r\ c n A f lint.lnn 4-~ .? i. 1 ?? J '
vov. V/1 llClVIll^ CUIlSl/rUCUj ttll(l
^fie rights of the parties legally fixed.
Many of these options were found '(
to contain indefinite period clauses
for removing the timber, that is , no ;
I definite fixed time was provided; but
a period of say ten years was mentioned
witH the addition of a proviso
^^.hat if not removed within that time, j
^nhen a further period of so many
years by paying interest year by
year in advance, these have also been
recently pased- upon; but there is
another variety which state that the
# tir.iber could be removed within ten <
years, or some other period, after
the cutting had commenced, thus 1
|^^making it uncertain as to when the j
|HJ^^itting would be started. This j
^^^mtter kind has just ben pussed upon ;
by flie Supreme Court of this State <
in the Minshew ca3e, the decision of j
# fhe Court <iing against the conten- <
tion of the timber companies. .
Vhe facts out o f which the Min- ,
shew case arises briefly stated, are j
as follows: On December 24th, ]
1898, W .A. Wall, the owner of the '
Ymd at time sold and conveyed the <
Timber in question to R. L. Montague.
After that the Atlantic Coast
Lumber Corporation bought out the
timber from Montague. In December,
1911, O. G. Mm shew took from I
W. A. Wall a deed for the land, mak- i
Iing no exception as to timber or tim- '
bor rights, and on January 10th, '
4^)12, brought suit against the lumeompary
to set aside the timber i
.*-ed that had been made as before
stated by Wall to Montague, on the
ground that the timber company had t
not commenced the cutting of the j
ti'iber within a reasonable time from |j
the date of fhe timber deed. *a
The language of the deed in the i
Minshew case, which deed was dated ?
^3ecember 24th, 1898, in relation to (?
^he period of time allowed for cut
I ting the timber are as follows: \
"It is agreed that the time limit S
shall be five (5) years from the time i
the second party begins cutting and \
removing ti,e said timber from the <
lands above described, but the first j
party agrees that the said time lim- i
it may be extended from year to j
Ayear thereafter upon the payment by j
the said second party, his heirs, ex- \
ecutors, administrators, or assigns, j
of interest on the original purchaser
price at the rate of 6 per cent, per i
annum." lj
In December, 1911, the plaintiff in j
;his case took from Wall a convey- ;i
ance in fee of the land upon which 'j
the timber conveyed by Wall to Mon- , i
> Jtague was located. This suit was ,;
commenced January 10th, 1912, foi 1
the purpose of having the court ad- ]
judge thac a reasonable time had <
elapsed and expired under a proper j
construction of the contract as to any "i
rights Montague and his assigns, the 1
defendant had acquired and for a 1
decree to have the contract cancelled j
> and ended because the defendant had :
^[failed to commence to cut, or cut, and <
remove the timber conveyed by the ]
contract within a reasonable time, 3
had thereby forfeited all rights ac- j
I quired thereunder. The defendant :
answered, after issue duly joined, the
cause was heard by Judge DeVore, 1

on December 23rd, 1912, files his de

441 due time the defendant appealed <

supreme court.
Judge DeVore rendered his decis- ;
ion in which he said that twelve (12)
years from the date of the deed

New Rural Free Delivery.
Several days ago a new rural free
delivery route started out from Conway
to be known as R. F. D. No. 2.
The temporary appointment it is
stated went to W. D. Lawrimore and
he is now carrying the mail on this
route daily. It knocks out the postoffices
of Willow, Haskell, Dongola,
and some portions of Wolsie, Toddville
and other places, reducing the
amount of mail that will hereafter be
delivered at these places. The first
route established several years ago
runs to the northward from Conway.
This last one goes out about west,
southwest from Conway.

j
;imc in one case under the particular
'acts and circumstances of that case |
nay be unreasonable in another case
ind inapplicable by reason of a different
State, of facts, or a different
situation and surrrounding circumstance.
There is no question that if
i party desires to exercise his right
;o extend an option which he has beyond
the fixed time he has acquired
aeforc his time expires if he desires
to exercise his option he must tenier
and pay the amount agreed upon
n advance, and serve notice that he
will exercise his ontion for the nerirwl
igreed upon, and will each year in
idvance pay the amount agreed
upon. This payment must be unqualified
and in strict compliance with
the agreement of the parties. The
payment must be unconditional and
in advance. In this case there has
been no tender, offer, or payment on
the part of the defendant to pay the
six per cent on $275, in order to extend
the time limit year by year.
Neither has the defendant indicated
the number of additional years vhey
would claim. If the defendant had
commenced to cut and remove timber
and needed additional time, it
was reasonable and incumbent to
tender in advance the six per cent on
the purchase price agreed upon an.l
given notice of the number of years
required, and offer to pay in advance
each year six per cent on purchase
price in order that the extended time
plight be fixed definitely and determined,
and each party known what to
rely on as to whether extension of
time claimed in the absence of an
agreement fixing the time could have
been then determined. Under contracts
of this character the purcl aser
has only the right to have a reasonable
time to get the fruits of his
Curchase. He has no right to enjoy
y indefinite extension what would
practically amount to a perpetuity
and dennvA fVio ?- ?
,?. _ v<?w vnuci vi ui6 enjoyment
of his property. What is a
"reasonable time depends upon the
circumstances of each case, and is a
question of fact, and no particular
rule has yet been laid down to govern
cases.'r
It will appear from the above language
quoted from the opinion in the
case that the decision of the lower
court was affirmed, and as the lumber
company failed to begin the cutting
witnin twelve years, they arc
not now allowed to enter on the
land.

CONWAY, S.C., THURS
i IK HE
BY WORRYING YOUNG BOY ON
HIS WAY FROM STORE
LAST WEEK.
NEGRO ARRESTED FINALLY
But at the Preliminary Hearing He
Is Turned Loose for Lack of Evidence
and the Matter Ended?Several
Out After Him When Report
Reached Officers.
One day last week a negro man
annoyed a young boy, Cabot Parker,
in such a way that some excitement
was caused as the matter turned out.
Cabot Parker attends the Burroughs
Graded School, and is boarding with
his sister, Mrs. Oscar Burroughs.
Cabot went to a store on the hill late
in the evening after some article he
wished to purchase and was returning
with it when he was accosted by
a negro man, was acting strangely
and talking a good deal. The boy
said nothing to him but hastened his
walk to get out of the way. The
man asked him his name and when
he refused to give it, the negro
stated that if he had his gun he
would make him tell his name. Then
Cabot ran home as fast as he could
go, and the negro followed along behind.
Mr. Oscar Burroughs went to his
home soon after and found the boy
crying. In the mean time word
reached the authorities down town
hat Oscar Burroughs had been killed.
Several men, including the policeman
and Mayor H. P. Little, went to
the place. The negro had not committed
any crime, but as it turned
out a little later, he was at that moment
hiding behind a fence nearby.
Most of the men who went returned
but chief L. R. Ambrose decided to
look for the man, and he was soon
found in hiding as above stated. He
was taken into custody and kept in
jail for a day or two, but there was
no proof against him of anything exept
his rude talk to the boy and he
was releaser!. T1 i<5 fihnvt iiirxiv/iftvi. I
tion however, will be a warning to
him as well as all others, perhaps
he was under the influence of whiskey
maybe cocaine. Such actions on
the part of either white or colored
are very annoying and it is likely to
ead to further trouble, and should
avoided.
Merry Fishing Party.
A merry party consisting of A. C.
Murrell, L. H. Burroughs, Dr. J. A.
Norton, W. E. McCovd, M. C. Anderson,
V. D. Johnson, A. W. Barrett, E.
J. Sherwood, M. W. Hall, Beaty Wall
G. L. Marsh, Isaac Scherr, and W. L.
Richardson, went down the river last
Thursday evening on the gasoline
j lighter of Mr. Murrell, to enjoy a
fish supper on the banks of the beautiful
Waccamaw. One hundred and
twenty-five bream, large and fat as
any ever caught from this river supplied
the party with all they wanted
to eat at one meal. Capt. Joe Lucas
and Mr. Titsell of Georgetown, on
their way here to make investigates
concerning the work soon to be started
on the river, were signed down hv
I the party and remained to the sup!
per. The party all returned that
night.
Quarantine Is Lifted.
For several weeks prior to last
Saturday, there were quarantine regulations
at the Commercial Hotel, on
account of a case of small pox contracted
by J. B. Skipper. On last
Saturday the quarantine was lifted,
the patient having fully recovered,
and the health authorities in charge
pronouncing that there was no further
danger. Mr. Skipper is the energetic
and perscrving agent for the
Free Sewing machine, which he
claims to be the best on the market,
and of which he has sold large numbers
to the housewives all over Horry
county. . ust where he caught the
cr.se v f su a 11 pox that laid him up
f i' scvcial weeks is more than can
be said. He did not catch it in Conv/ay,
and did not know he had it until
his arrival at the hotel here upon his
return from, one of his trips selling
machines.

THE PEOPLE'S NATIONAL BANK
Opened For Business Last Saturday
at the Old Bank of Conway
Building. ^
The People's National Bank, a new
institution just chartered under the
Federal laws, opened its doors for
business last Saturday morning in
the Bank of Conway building, the I
First National and Conway Savings '
formerly occupying it having been r
moved out. The officers of the Peoples
National Bank are as follow*: J. A.
McDermott, President, (?. B.
Jenkins, vice-president; D. A. Spivey,
cashier; W. 15. King, assistant cashier,
and the directors are J. C. Spivcy
S. 1). Bryant, of Green Sea,
A. T. Collins, B. G. Collins, Thomas rj
E. Cooper, of Wilmington, N. C., and
J. W. Norwood, who is president of a
leading bank in Columbia. All of the ^
capital 3tock authorized by the charter
was taken up and there were applications
for stock over that could fl
not be filled.
On the corner and in the same
building where this new institution ^
begins its career, there has been a
banking business conducted ever
since the building was erected, at a j<
time when brick buildings were
scarce in Conway.

WANTED ON TWO CHARGES
C
W. K. Brown, Formerly of Green
Sea Township Arrested in Georgia.
C
Last week W. K. Brown was arrest ^
cd at Glenwood, Ga., on a warrant
sworn out by D. M. Causey before
Magistrate W. H. Chestnut, charg- {
ing him with dissertion and non-sup- v
port of his wife still in this State.
He is wanted also on another charge
it seems, that of passing a worthless ^
check to the amount of about $70.00
on Mr. Causey. Sheriff J. A. Lewis
received a telegram last Sunday j,
morning stating that Brown had
been arrested at Glenwood, Ga. , and
was injail awaiting the authorities
here. On the matter of coming c
without a requisition, it was later
stated that he had agreed to come
without a requisition. The sheriff t
sent after the defendant thp first
this week.
CONWAY HAS ADVANTAGES \
Or So Claims Enquirer in George- ,
town Times in an Article. N
A writer in our live and flourish- *
ing contemporary, the Georgetown
Times, is evidently worried over the j
fact that Conway has better facilities
for shipping truck than his own city
has, as will appear by reason of the
following article clipped from the issue
of the Times of May 9th: ^
Twenty-five baskets of very fine ^
peas were forwarded from the Wav- j,
erly section May 2. This was the
first shipment of the season and the
consignors were L. C. Lachicotte, Jr., j
and Oakshore Poultry Farm. The (
peas were delivered to the Steamer
Burroughs, carried to Conway and
there placed in a refrigerator car for j
New York. Y
Why should Waverly shippers be f
compelled to send their truck forty
miles up river to a rail point, with
Georgetown only a third of the dis- ^
tance away ? It would appear that j
Georgetown cannot, or will not, give
the same accommodations for perishable
vegetables that are obtaina- ]
ble in Conway. This a matter that |
the Chamber of Commerce should go j
after vigorously. There is no reason
why Georgetown county raised truck
should not go through Georgotown. ,

BANKS MOVED.
The First National Bank of Conway
and Conway Savings.
The First National Bank of Conway
and the Conway Savings Bank
moved down to the Bank of Horry
building the latter part of last week.
Recently the First National Bank and
the Bank of Horry merged their capital
stock and business into one corporation,
and a new charter was obtained
from the Federal Government
for the new institution under the
name of t'onwuy National Bank, and
under this new name the business of
both old banks will be conducted
hereafter. Robert B. Scarborough is
the president of Conway National
Bank, Hal L. Buck, vice president,
and Will A. Freeman, cashier. The
quarters of the former Bank of Horry,
which is now occupied by the
combined business, arc amply large
and well equipped, and it is centrally
located in the business portion of the
town. The Conway Savings Bank is
still doing business as before, only its
officers are in the same quarters with
Conway National, in connection with
which it will do business.

The subject of paving the business
portions of Main Street and 3rd

The talk of it was strong a
few weeks ago. It has been found
necessary first to lay the water pipes
for the general sower system before
this paving is put in. But by all
means keep the subject hot until
something has been done.

Already much of the hardest work
has been accomplished, but there remains
