THE COMING CITY 4 STARTED IN THE WOODS fThe Officials of the Coast Line Hailroad Company Attended and There Was an Address by Mr. McCulloch, Train Master. Thursday of last week was a big day for Aynor, our growing little 'town at the terminus of the Conway, Coast & Western Railroad, branch of the Atlantic Coast Line system. Notices were published the week before of a basket picnic and public speaking for the purpose of awakening interpst in the organisation of a fruit viewers' association, and up-building lW general. It was announced that the officials of the railroad company would he in attendance, as well as other prominent men to make speeches. The people of that section of the ' county arc interested in every forward movement, and they certainly nod out in force on this occasion, i 'I'he crowd was variously estimated at two thousand people or more. The picnic and speaking took place in the A n? 1 nr 1 iji /vynor iloducco warenouse, ana mc dinner was spread about 1:30. There was plenty for everybody and an abundance left over. An address of welcome was delivered by Mr. C. K. Gerrald, a loading i citizen of the Galivants Ferry section. The other speakers were C. E. McCulloch, Train Master of the Atlantic Coast Line Railroad Company, Wilmington division, L. D. Magrath the Horry County Trust Company, D. A. Spivey of the People's National BBank and others. A. L. Hamer, candidate for congress from the 6th district also addresesd the people. In his address the train master told the people that the railroad company was ready and willing to give th#fc every advantage and assistance \ within their power in keeping with | the progress they had made in buildj ing up that section, and that the | railroad company would be found to J be ready helpers throughout the future in every movement tending to : t'UL growth and up-building of Aynor. 7ust across the street from the toil bacco warehouse where the picnic was held, there is a new tobacco warcf house in proces of construction. This I new warehouse will be open in time I for this year's business. With two if warehouses there is no reason why IAjnor should not become a great to bacco selling market, and the people have faith in it. Only a year or two ago Ay nor was entirely in the woods. The town has sprung up in a day where there was nothing the night before, so to speak, It now has a bank, a wholesale busingfe.-. or two, many stores in the retail many other industries too numerous to mention in this article.

M "HORRY COUNTY I SOLICITORMUDDLE CAUSING UNCERTAINTY WHAT FLORENCE TIMES SAYS ABOUT IT AND SECTIONS OF LAW RELATING TO IT. L. M. GASQUEJAS FILED YLtuut ANU IS UNUlTUbtU Finally Perhaps the Matter Will Have to Go to the Courts and he Thrashed Out There?Solicitor Singleton of the 12th Circuit has not Filed Pledge Some uncertainty has arisen in regard to the office of solicitor of this the 12th Judicial Circuit. Two years ago, just after the election of the late Mr. Walter Wells to the officer for a term of four years, he was removed by death. The Governor then appointed L. B. Singleton, Esq., to fill the vacancy, as he was authorized to do under the statutes, and this appointment was confirmed by the State Senate at its next session, or perhaps it was during a session of the Senate that the appointment was made. Some are taking the position now that this appointment could only reirnain in force until the next general election which comes olf this year, and that a new solicitor must be elected by the people to /ill the place. Solicitor L. B. Singleton takes the posi-; tion that hs apointmont would extern ; throughout the entire unexpired term j of the late Walter II. Wells, and that1 i ho is entitled to hold the oflice until two years from now. Recently Mr. L. M. Casque, who ran for the office of Solicitor in the last! election and was overwhelmingly defeated by Mr. Wells filed his pledge as a candidate for the oflice in this election of this year, and there was no > others filed. Mr. Singleton taking the position above stated, did not file , his pledge to run in this election. The Florence Daily Times in its issue of last Friday, has the following to i say about the matter. In Mr. Lonie M. Gasque, Marion has a candidate in the field for Solicitor of the Twelth Judicial Circuit. Mr. Gasi que did not decide to enter the race un: til the last moment, and only placed t hift pledge in the hands of Chairman John Gary Evans in time to be properj ly slated as a candidate at noon on , Tuesday. It seems that Solicitor Singleton, who was appointed to serve in , the place of Solicitor Walter H. Wells, deceased, is of the opinion that he was appointed to serve the entire four . years for which Mr. Wells was elected. while Mr. Gasque says that the law is , plain on that subject and that Solicitor , Singleton is entitled to the oflice only ( until the next following general elco- j ? tion aftter the death of Mr. Wells. Mr. I Gasque is making the race, and if! elected by the people will go before the J Supreme Court for a vrdict in his fa-1 vol*. So far as we could determine yesterday Mr. Singleton has not filed his pledge, and in that event Mr. Gas que will not nave opposition in the pri-j marie8. Mr. Gasque is a well known lawyer of the Marion bar, and having sought the same position before is well known all over the circuit. He is a son of the late Eli H. Gasque of this city, and has always sought to serve in the same open-handed, eneri getic manner for which his father was so famous. He has a strong following 4 among the people of Marion, and in p the primaries he will doubtless leave i this county with a very heavy vote."? 1 The Times quoted no laws, perhaps * its editor did not have time to look up; j any, and even when the laws are found' , there is still some uncertainty as will' 4 appear. f A hasty search of the statutes to j find the law relating to this matter reveals the following sections, which each reader may study for himself: ^ Section (>94 of the Civil Code Volume I, provides in one subdivision, that the ; governor may appoint with advice and consent of the Senate circuit Solicitors: "When there is a vacancy in such ^ office by reason of death, resignation, ceasing to reside in the circuit or oth' erwise." In the very next section, which is section 695, it is provided that he may . fill by appointment: "Any vacancy in i a county office, by reason of death, resignation, refusal or neglect to qualify, of the person elected or appointed thereto, expiration of the term of oftice, or any other cause. The person so appointed to hold his office in all f cases where the office is elective, until i ? the next general election and until his successor shall qualify." > Now again notice Section 722 relat1 ing to the office of Solicitor, from which the following language is taken: KIn case any vacancy shall occur in % Mmx\ AND HER PEOPLE.

GRIFFITH FOUND HIS T DAUGHTER WITH RELATIVES IN WILMINGTON BROUGHT GIRL ROME N SWARF AIIT WIRRINTR w11 wuia uu i virn 11inn i u The Sheriff of Brunswick County is C Looking for the Man at all Places Where he was Thought to Hang Out--Noles Said to be Wanted Else Where. E. S. Griffith, the drayman, whose daughter was taken away by one J. T Noles recently returned from Shal- 01 lotto, N. C., .last Monday bringing his ?) daughter, Evlyn, back with him. Griffith left here with his wife, the mother of the girl, the first part of'd last week, driving through the coun- j C( try toward Shallctte, N. C., by way j of Little River, the direction the p run away couple was known to have j p taken. He had written ahead to two f. of his nephews in Wilmington. These j 0 nephews got in an automobile and; jT some miles the other side of Shallot- e to, met Noles driving in a cart with g the girl. The nephews took the girl t.; with them in the car and had her in c Wilmington on the day that Griffith arrived at Shalh-tte and applied to the sheriff of Brunswick county and hp asked him to run down and arrest the party. Sheriff Roberson had understood the facts before and knew that the B girl was then in Wilmoington. He girl was then in Wilmington. He meet her parents at Shallotte, and they were soon on the return home. In the meantime Noles had left for parts unknown. The sheriff looked for him at Bolton and other places where lumber companies operate, but s< at last accounts he had failed to lo- ai cate him. The warrant sworn out before the authorities of North Carolina charg- v es a serious offense against Noles, C1 and the sheriff over there will make te every effort in his power to arrest C1 him. It is now stated that he will finally f be wanted in this county. It is said 18 that he left a wife at some place be- tl tween Conway and Chadbourne, or at s] least someone who thought she was , his wife. , b; si '\V. J. Bruton Pays Fine. ti Ic W. J. Bruton was convicted before the town court here on February 3rd, 1910 of violation of the whiskey laws, a and was sentenced to pay a line of tt $40.00 or serve a sentence on the pub lie works. He left the town with the fine pending about that time and xv the fine was not paid until last Satur- f* day, when the town clerk received the y money and the matter was cleared up o cl such ofiiee (solicitor) by death, resignation or otherwise, the vacancy there- lfc by created shall be filled by the Gov- f1 ernor by and with the advice and con- 11 cent of the Senate." Nothing is said a as to his holding office until the next * general election. n. But in still another section of the ^ statutes, which is section 281, we find ^ the following in relation to vacancies u in county offices: <4In the event of aiu vacancy at any time in any of the of-1 flees of any county of the State, wheth- l} er from death, resignation, disqualification, refusal or neglect to qualify of j I the person elected or appointed there- j to, expiration of the term of office or; * removal from the county or from any other cause, the governor shall have full power to appoint some suitable P person, who shall be an elector of the si county, and, upon duly qualifying ac- a cording to law, shall be entitled to en-jtl ter upon and hold the office to which w he has been appointed if it be an elec-jP tive office, until the next general elec-'(i tion, when an election shall be held to;t< fill the unexpired term." The section goes on as to offices originally appoint- b; ive, but as the office of solicitor is elec- si tive the section need not be quoted ^ further for the purposes of this article. f< It will he seen that the question de- e: pends upon whether the office of cir-jh cult solicitor can be regarded as a. county office. There does not appear hi any good ground for so regarding it. u There are different provisions of the i> law in relation to the different kinds of tl offices to be filled, and in regard to the fi office of solicitor there does not appear n any specific provision which would lim- n it the tenure under the appointment until the next general election only. A careful reading of the sections C1 above referred to inclines to the belief c j c< that the appointment of Mr. Singleton will hold good until the whole of the n four year term has expired and that ^ will not be until the election two years from now, but the writer of this article is not giving any legal opinion just ti here. The purpose of the article is to 0 give the people as full information as fi possible on the subject which is just tl now claiming a share of the interest b in the coming primary election. ii ?

O PRODUCE MORE COTTON IN A SHORTER PERIOD est Method to Resist Invasion of Boll Weevil and to Improve the Backward State of Whet lias Been a "Sure-Crop" Industry Washington, D. C?., June 24th.? j he need of shortening the growing ?ason of cotton has been recognized s the best means lor securing protec- ( on against injury from the boll wee- j il, and the U. S. Department of Agri- j alture has been recommending a sys- ] ?m of cotton culture which aims to sc- j Lire the production of more cotton in shorter period of time. The system also important for regions where le crop is limited by drought or by tiort seasons as in the northern disdcts aiul^should help to remedy the ackward state of what has been conidered in the past a "sure-crop" indus j *y. The Department's Farmers' Bui- , 'tin (No. 601,) entitled "A New Sys- i ?m of Cotton Culture and Its Appli- 1 ition," has been issued to give the de- ] lils to those who may profit by it. , The danger of injury from the boll i eevil is greater under conditions that ivor the luxuriant growth of the j oung plant and induce te formation f large numbers of vegetative bran- , les, which produce no bolls. The con- : ol of the formation of these branches ; the keynote of the new system. The jppression of these branches avoids , ijurious crowding of the plants and ' Iso makes it possible to leave more ; lants in the rows than is now custotary. The mos important considera-j on which the new system requires isj le placing of plants closer together, i uring the earlier stages of growth, ntil the stalks have grown beyond the ? tage where vegetative branches are; roduced. rHE CANDIDATES AT MANNING. he people Are Tired of Strife and Factionalism and Want Facts. !
