DBIVEH CANNOT EXPLAIN A I CI n AIM D ACIMPIl'l1 roust-ur m\m\ i | Physician and Nurse Called by Telephone to Toddville Last Wednesday ? First Reported Man Was Killed, But Two Men Only Injured. News spread about the st'-eets here last Wednesday evening that a touring car had turned over while crossing the bridge across Halfway Creek, near Toddvilie, falling off the bridge, killing one man and injuring several others. This created considerable excitement which lasted for some time until a message over the phone stated that it was a mistake about the killing. Several parties left Conway in cars and went to the scene of the accident to learn the particulars. Dr. 11. H. Burroughs was called over the phone and he left town for the place with a nurse. The facts were as follows: Joseph | A. iJlftok, of Charleston, ?S. C., engaged in tho organ and piano business, ami Marshal BWdgman of Dillon were | on their way in a Ford ear from | Georgetown coming to Conway. When tho car was passing over the long bridge across Halfway Swamp, n car Toddville, the car suddenly struck a railing of the bridge, broke out or pushed over a section of this, and plunged over the edge into the swamp, turning completely over as it went. The two occupants were under the car as it went down, but the car came in contact with a dead cypress log before it struck the ground, so that the rear end was supported and kept the two men from being mashed to death. How long the two men remained there, perhaps unconscious, nobody seems to know, not even tne men themselves. They managed to scramble out from under the car and it is said one of them went to a house nearby. Later he did not remember going to the house. The accident was discovered and resulted in the telephone message calling a physician. The bridge at the place where the car went over is said to be about fifteen feet from the ground; Nobody knows the speed at which the car was being driven, and nosatisfactory explanation of the cause of the accident has so far been made. When some of the parties from Con way arrived at the place, they asked ; Mr. Black how it happened. Both men seemed in a pitable condition, having been struck on the head, and various narts of the hodv. and t.hev were torn and bleeding. At times they did not act as if they had their right minds. Anyway Mr. Black undertook to show or explain how it happened, stating that the car ran its wheel against a small block of wood lying on the bridge and this caused the car to run off against the railing. He looked along the bridge for the block as he explained, but there was no block to be found either on or off the bridge. While he was doing this bystanders had to look out to keep him frorj falling off the Divtge. He had been struck on the head and deprived of his senses, at least temporarily. The two men were finally brought to Conway to one of the hotels where they received the best aid possible. i seen oh Thursday morning they ^npe' ed dazed. Mr. Black seemed to have sustained more serious injuries than the other, though the other for some time could not walk. The news of the accident spread in many directions and many people went to the place of the accident and looked at the car as it lay up-turned in the bottom of the swamp, its ends support ed as before stated by the lop. It was easy to see that the car was practically ruined. Twisted and broken in a hundred places was the way it appeared. Arrangements were made however, to have it taken, up, and it will be possible to repair it and use it again. Joseph A. Black is well known on account of his having been here a good deal during the last few years engaged in the sale of organs and pianos. He conducted the business through agent at various points in this section of the State and he went RRY COUNTY AND HI3K PtfO * iwiuib inni inwii i> i i NT\V \Y, s. C .THl ia?i ^Mi?VNrwunaa??i\?MMt w?.

I)., passed away from this life at his residence in this town, just before the hour of 4 o'clock on Tuesday morning July 21st, 19 M. Doctor Norton had been ling* ering from a fatal ill n e s s from which he suffered the first attack in the Spring of this year. The best physicians in this State were consulted about his condition which grew worse from time to time, and for several days before his death, the end had appeared to be near. He is survived by two daughters, Mrs. Daisy Crouch, of Saluda, S. C., and Miss Mabel Norton, of Conway, and his three sons, Dr. J. A. Norton, and J. O, Norton, Esq., of Conway, and J. Clarence Norton, of Memphis, Tenn. His wife preceded him to the grave by several years. Horry County never sustained a more distinct loss by the death of a man. His death occurred in the seventy-third year of his age. For near! ly half a century Evan Norton was ; identified with nearly everything re luting* to Horry County and her pcoI pie, that could be said to tend toward i the up-building, growth and prosper. ity of the people spiritually and intel ectually. He was a good man in every sense of the word. When he was editor of this paper, which he established and edited for many years following 188G, his motto as printed on the title page was: "Be true to youi word, and your work and your country." He lived up to this. As a physician he gained the confidence of every person he treated. They had faith in his ability. They believed what he said. His name became a household word through every part of Horry County. As editor of the county paper, trustee of the school, as a public servant, and in every waljjf of life he distinguished himself as a servant ol the people and he found no greater pleasure in life than this. He was indeed true to his word and his work and his country. When he died last Tuesday morning the whole people felt the blow. Evan Norton made his mark among them as a kind fathei would among his children. Everybody knew him and knew him through his work. As the readers of this papei see these lines there can hardly be a single one who will not feel theii hearts sadden. Evan Norton was born on September Oth, A. I). 1841, near Mullitis ir Marion CountyT. As a young man he served the four years in the War be twcon the States. In the year 18(tf he graduated in medicine at the Washington University, now knowr as the College of Physicians and Surgeons, of Baltimore, Md. Tie taughl school in Floyds township in thif County in the year 1870, and the following year he located at Conway ir the practice of his profession.

Horry County and served in that ca' pacity from 1876 to 1888. He established the Horry Herald in the year l .886 and was the editor of that pa, i per from that time until the year > i i 1896 wl\en the paper was sold to E. W. Nollev and his associates. When . * he established himself in the medical profession at Conway, he also bei came engaged in the drug business, I and for a long number of years he was the owner of the only drug store in the county. Though he performed other arduous duties as this short and incomplete sketch of his life shows, his practice as a physician and the business of supplying drugs to the . other members of the profession was > r never neglected. After severing his connection with the newspaper about 1896, he devoted himself more than ever to his profession and the drug business, and he paid close attention to these until his health failed last Spring. He took an active part in j planning and making* roadv for ihn i i erection of the handsome new drug* I ! store and office building on Alain [ | t ? | Street, where for many years the j drug business was carried on. For several years since the year 1906 the ! drug business has been incorporated I under the charter name of the Nor- ; ton Drug Co. For forty-two years! ( of his life he was the superintendent , i of the Methodist Sunday School, be- i sides holding other active positions j of teacher from time to time; but his ! position of superintendent was unbroken and no man ever rendered ; , more steady and heartfelt service in I the cause of the master than Dr. Norr ton did in this. When he first locat- ! . ! ed here he was a member of the Coun- j . : ty Board of Medical Examiners be, fore the State Board had been estab* lished. For many years past he was . the dean of the medical profession in Horry County. He was the first pres- ! : ! ident of the Horry County Medical ' Society. Several times he was re- ! > elected. In early manhood he married j , Miss Ellen Powell, of Fair Bluff, N. | C. She preceded him to the grave r only a few years. At her death his 5 grief was intense, and from it he per haps never fully recovered.

E. Todd, the Manager of the Local Telephone Ser\ice Very Busy Putting in Lines Where None Were Before,?Politics Are Quiet. Loris, S. C., July 20.?The merchants and business men of Loris seem to be doing an excellent business, considering the dry weather and i dull season. The bright leaf tobacco, which counts fast in dollars and cents, has )een rolling into our warehouses from cVery direction for the past several lays. Our warehouse managers are nil experienced in the tobacco trade and are jolly and clever gentlemen. Mr. O. Iv Todd, who is general man ager of the local telephone system, has been very busy puttting up lines in those sections where the people had none before. Politics seems to be very quiet in Loris, no one seems to be very anxious for the "Political Pies." Come out boys, we want to hear from all those who aim to make the race for the various olllces, most especially those who are going to make the fight for the house. We are going to vote for those whose nlntfnvmc 0,11*4- *-?4-- 11 r .i.u tivui v/iu liistc me best. The writer believes in rotation in office, as to County, State, or United States. We do not endorse the policy of putting* a man in office and keeping him in the same office for a whole century. Let him go higher, or elect some other good man to fill the position. Come out, boys, so the campaign will be interesting. While some of us are keeping quiet we are watching the hand writing on the wall and when it comes time for us to cast our ballots we will try and vote for those men we think ought to fill the position. It's not the man every time that works the hardest or the preacher or teacher who speaks the loudest that is always the most progressive in this glorious field of ous. Col. Lacy Stackhouse, of Mullins, visited our city last week. Come again, Lacy, we are always glad to see you. Mr. Clarence Martin, of Mullins, spent last Friday in Loris, on a business trip. Mr. John S. (lore, of Longs, S. C., stopped over several hours in Loris last week. Mr. (lore was on his way home from Spartanburg where he had been attending school. He spoke very highly of the school. Misses Eula Butler and Minnie Mar low are spending the week end with Mrs. G. C. Butler. Miss Y ichors. from Mmliarm r:? spent last week with her brother, Mr. K. A. Vickers. Miss Fannie McQueen and Miss Vickers spent last Wednesday at Myrtle Beach, and reported a pleasant trip. Mrs. D. J. Butler and children, and Miss Claudia McQueen spent last Thursday afternoon in Tabor, N. C. Misses Lillian Singletary and Cora Clark have returned to Clarkton, N. r~' O# Mr. Gary Harrelson of Mullins, S. C., spent the week end in Loris. The picture man from Tabor, N. C., spent last week in Loris. There must be quite an attraction, is we notice that Mr. Warren Johnson visits our town often. from place to place in carrying on the Business in an automobile. He had not been here for some time when the iccident occured which nearly cost him his life. Nothing is known here ,h tne other man who was injured. The place of tho accident is about >oven miles from Conway on the Jcorgetown and Conway public road \nd loss than a half mile from the Toddville school house. If the accident had happened along some lonely oad where no persons frequently missed, the men may have suffered >r some time before help could have ?en had. But this was in a popuus community and on a road where people generally pass every hour.
