UNDER THE BEAUTIFUL OAKS
ON THE WACCAMAW BANKS
AT BUCKSVILLE
"mi
' UMUSIC BY LUCIIL BAND
P The Baptist Sunday School is Prob'
... ably one of the Largest in the
t Whole Country Round About, and it
is Still Growing,?The People had
a Good Time.
The Annual Spring Picnic of the
Baptist Sunday School was held at
Bucksville on Thursday last. This
Sunday School is now probably one of
^ the largest in the county. The actual
attendance has reached the 200 mark
in' membership, and is still growing.
Almost the total membership were
present at this picnic and outing, and
their invited guests swelled the
crowd to over 300. The high bluffs
and splendid groves make Bucksville
an ideal spot for such an occasion.
The children were transported over4
land in automobiles and other vehicles,
while the larger folks, young
ladies and lassies, went by private
boats and barges down the beautiful
Waccamaw.
The local band furnished music for
the occasion, and refreshments were
dispensed by the committee. Dinner
was spread under the large moss-covered
oaks by the ladies, and every^body
feasted to the limit. Afer dinner
more than "seven baskets full"
were gathered from the leavings.
The boys played base-ball, while the
children played sundry games. Miss
Stevens recited quite a number of select
pieces to the amusement of the
crowd.
Quite a number of the people of
.the surrounding country were present
"*"and added to the gayety of the occasion.
It was pronounced by all to be the
best picnic ever given by the Baptist
Sunday School.

Allen Plant Narrowly Escapes.
Last Saturday a negro house in the
quarters at Allen caught on fire and
y??ade a sectacular blaze for a while,
J^vhich threatened the entire plant.
^Thc efforts of those around the place
saved any further damage by confining
the flames to the house that
caught. For some time this large
lumber plant has been ahut down.

MOVING PICTURES
Conway is Believed to be a Good Location
for a Business of This
Kind,?Two Shows are
Talked of.
It is stated that the work will soon
he pin nn t.hp eveetinn nf fV?? now
building: for the moving picture business
next door to the Quattlebaum
block of buildings on Main Street.
This building will be modern in every
respect and the equipment and interior
arrangements will be up to any
that is to be seen in the larger cities.
It will be owned by Mr. Harry Cushman
of Greenville. He is considering
the erection of a power plant on the
lake in rear of the building, this plant
to furnish the electric power. It will
be utilized to run the electric fans,
and the different lights that will be
needed. No pains will be spared to
make this all that it should be to attract
the patronage and attention of
the public. It will be extensively
advertised. A low estimate of the
cost is ten thousand dollars.
In the mean time there is another
moving picture business being talked
about, and this is L. L. Brown of
Whiteville, N. C. He was down here
recently in an effort to get a suitable
building in which to begin operations.
For two years he has been located at
Vineland, N. C., and he has about six
years experience in the business. One
of his friends here stated last week
that if a building could be procured,
that Mr. Brown would move his business
here in the course of a short
time. Mr. Brown's business is equipped
with an electric piano, and the
most up-to-date machinery for projecting
the films.

to Myrtle Beach last Saturday night
and on Sunday night and this schedule
it is said will be maintained
through the season just as was done '
last year. The trains on the Aynor
branch leave Myrtle Beach in the
morning and return to that point in
the evening leaving here at 6 o'clock
just as they did last year.

Electric Storm in Marion.
It was reported here last Saturday
that a terrific rain and thunder storm
had visited Marion the night before
the lightning striking a negro's
house and burning it up> and several
negro houses being blown down by
the wind. Telegraph and telephone
poles were struck and the systems
put out of business. For a short
while the rain poured down in torrents
and bridges in some places
were washed away.
On Track of Stolen Buggy.
Some time last February Mr. W. J.
Hardee of near Loris lost a mule and
buggy after tying it up at a neighbor's
gate and going in the house for
a few minutes. He recovered the
mule soon afterwards, but the buggy
remained lost until one day last week
information was obtained of its
whereabouts. One of Mr. Hardee's
sons passed through Conway on his
way to the Haskell section of the
county where he had been informed

I III MI'
CONTAINED IN ONE VARIETY
OF TIMBER DEED IS CON.STRUED
BY THE .COURT. .
IN FAVOR OF COMPANY ;
Under the Language of .This .Deed, |
and There are Many Like .it, .The ^
Grantee of the Timber has the Op- <
tion of as Much Time .as .Desired 1
After First Period. ]
The Supreme Court of this State J
recently rendered its decision in the 1
matter of the construction of the I
time clause in a certain class of tim- 1
ber deeds in which the language re- ]
lating to the period for moving the i
timber is expressed in substance as <
follows: 1
"That the said second party, its ;
successors or assigns, shall have, and i
the same is hereby granted to it and ]
them, the period of ten years in i
which to cut and remove the said 1
timber from the said land, and in
case the timber is not cut and remov- <
ed before the expiration of the said i
period, then that the said second i
party, its successors or assigns, shall i
have such additional time therefor as <
it or they may desire, but in the last <
mentioned event, the said second 1
party, its successors or assigns, shall,
during the extended period, pay in- I
terest on the original purchase price, 1
year by year, in advance, at the rate t
of six per cent per annum." c
The title of the case in which the c
above stated language was passed I
upon is Midland Timber Company, t
plaintiff, vs. J. F. Pretty man & Sons c
and Z. T. Pearson, defendants. An i
examination of the records in this
County, and the records of many
other counties in Eastern South Caro
lina will show numbers of timber
deeds reading like the above in rela- 1
tion to time for cutting and removing
the timber, the language if not exactly
the same still meaning the same.
T w * f " ?
aii i/uio a i cny in mi ciise Dciore tnc
expiration of the first period of ten y
years provided for, the Midland Tim- J
bcr Company gave the land owner J
notice that it would want ten years \
longer time, making 20 years in all r
for cutting and removing the timber, \
and with the notice the Midland Tim- *
ber Company offered to pay the land r
owner interest at 6 per cent for one ;
year. The Circuit Court held that
the above language gave the Midland
Timber Company the option of having
as much time as it wanted, according
to the plain every day mean- f
ing of the words used, and that the y
Company had the right to give notice j
and to require the 10 years additional g
time provided it paid year by year J
in advance the (i per cent interest j
provided for. The land owner claim- ^
?d that the Midland Timber Company
should be entirely excluded from the
land and not allowed to cut and remove
the timber after the expiration
of the 10 years from the date of the j
deed; but under the decision of the r
Court it is plain that the Lumber (
Companies who hold under timber >
deeds having language like that }
above copied, by giving notice of the i
time wanted before the first period has
expired and then paying the in- c
terest provided for each year in ad- r
vance may extend time for cutting \
and romovino* for no 1nm? o tiwA r. *
0 v. .J iwng i* nine no 1
they may decide they will need. Con- f
tinuing the opinion of the Court t
reads as follows:
Where the instrument is express in
its terms there is no room for implication.
The language above quoted
from the deed under consideration, it ?
seems to me, is unambiguons and ex- \
press in its terms. The contention t
of the defendants amounts to saying t
that while the deed gives to the gran- ?
tee, its successors and assigns, the t
right to such extension of time as it i
or they may desire, they are not en- i
titled to such tin^o, bpt only to a reu- 1
sonable time to be fixed by the Court. ?
It is not tho function of the Court to c
make contracts, but to construe and
enforce them. The option or priviledge
of extension can only be exercised
by strict compliance with its (
terms, and by the payment annually *
in advance of the amount specified in (
deed. It is -.it given gratuitously. *
Th is c.">nst: u tion of the deed seems Is
clear from t'-.e language usod by the c
parties, which should prevail, unless *
the contract is invalid as a matter of i
law. At the time the deed was exe- t
cuto.l the owner of the fee had the t
right to convey the timber without 1
any specifications as to time what- *
ever. I sec no reason why she could *
not sell the timber with the right" to 1
r <move it within a definite time, and at
the same time convey the privi- c
ledge or option of an extension to be <
determined by the grantee, upon the f
condition that lie should pay a spoci- i
fie sum annually in advance. Having <
sold and conveyed to the grantee the i
option or privjledge of fixing the cx- J
tension, how can it now be said that ]
the Court should fix it? If the deed ]
had merely provided that the grantee t
Should ho fntitlorl ~ ?A *
V..v.viuu v" oumt' extension,
then the doctrine of reasonable time 1
might apply, upon the principle set I
forth in the Flagler case, supra, to <
effect an unexpressed intention of the ]
parties. When the parties speak for <
themselves the Court cannot imply. <
It is contended, however, that para- <
graph "third" of the deed tends to ]
show that the extension of time i
should he limited. This clause was i
very applicable to a deed giving a cer <
tain term of years from the com- 1
menccment of the cutting. The ori- <
ginal deed in the case at bar was ex
hibited to me, and I find that it was <
drawn upon a printed blank used for 1
deeds of that character, but the lan- '
guage relating to the commencement i

DAY, JUNE 4th 1914.
NOW LOOKS DIFFERENT
Circumstances Gave Appearance
Which was Misleading in A. L.
Marvel and Kilby Matter.
When a number of checks were re- <
fused payment *it the Hank of Loris
recently, all drawn against the account
at that bank of Mr. C. Edward
Kilby, rumors became current which .
were not at all justified as shown by |
subsequent events. At about the
same time that the checks were refused
payment, Mr. A. L. Marvel was (
unavoidably called away to Deleware '
an urgent business. Those who chose
to take that view of it no doubt seizsd
upon this circumstance to add further
coloring.
It appears that Mr. Marvel went to
Deleware whre he remained only a
Tew days. He was in communication <
with his partner, Mr. C. Edward Kil3y,
every day as to when he would
return, and that he was willing to J
pay off all claims that were standing
igainst the business with the bank
Irafts guaranteed. He returned to 1
Loris in due time and with Mr. Kilby
idjusted each and every claim, having
the firms in debt to him make i
payment direct to the Hank of Loris.
\11 claims were promptly and satisfactorily
settled. i
All of this shows up well and prov;s
the honesty of these men, and it is
lot believed that either Mr. A. L. i
Vlarvel or C. Edward Kilby intended
iny wrong whatever throughout the
intire matter, and it is regretted that s
ircumstanccs caused some people to
/iew it in a different light for a time.
Hoth of these men deserve credit 1
for conducting a vigorous strawberry
lusiness through the season at Loris
ind in neighboring sections of the i
;ounty, and by tiieir efforts they no 1
loubt caused the planters to obtain a
letter price. No one blames either of
.hem now and the matter is entirely I
dosed or so we have been reliably 1
nformed.

less with his son, C. Edward Kilby, *
lied very suddenly at his home in ?
Wilmington, N. C., last .week. He
lad just returned to his home from
..oris, S. C.,where he had been severil
days straightening up the affairs J
if his son in the business. It will be *
ecalled that a number of checks *

Sun Flower Seed.
The Civic League of Conway are ?
giving away sun flower seeds free to c

hat these plants while growing near

he family, especially in relation to fc
nalaria and other fevers. The seeds c
ire free at the store of the Conway

Free Medical Inspection.
Dr. Foster of the Public Health s
Service arrived in Conway several I
lays ago, and since that time has I
>een engaged in the inspection of
such school children as were presentid
to him for that purpose. On day a
>efore yesterday he went to Loris. f
le will remain in this county until 'I
he end of the week. The examina- t
ions cost nothing. He is an expert
ind will advise with the parents of
hose children found to be suffering v
rom the diseases mentioned in the ?
notice recently published. v
>f the cutting and removal was strick
m out. If this clause was, as it r
?eoms, inadvertently left in the deed, 1
ind has no meaning in the deed as '
executed, it should be rejected as c
>urplusage. See Devlin on Deeds, *
Section 1016, for the general princi- )
ale. But, aside from this, it does not 1
aerport to limit in any way the option
or priviledge of extension.
It appears from tl.e agreed case (
that Midland Timber Company, as 1
the successor in title of Atlantic '
Coast Lumber Company, at and be- A
fore the expiration of the first period ?
af ten years, gave due notice to the 1
awner of the land that it desired an 1
extension of ten years, and made the *
proper tender for the first year of
this period, and thereafter, when due,
the proper tender for the second year 1
af this period. The plaintiff had thus *
by its notice fixed the duration of the J
extension Even if the doctrine of '
reasonable time should apply in this 1
case, there is no evidence whatever j
that the time desired by plaintiff is '
unreasonable. On the contrary, it 5
appears to be reasonable. ]
