AYNQR HAS BIG DAY

NEARLY TWO THOUSAND PEOPLE
ATTEND THE BIG TIME
AT AYNOR,
*? 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.

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."

ing to the office of Solicitor, from
which the following language is taken:

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. ,

'\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.
