W Statement Showing Some of the Bet- Tl ter Sales Made at Each of the Three Warehouses After Export Buyers Were Called off the Market. l^ast week wnen the buyers or tobacco for export trades were called off the market by their companies, things looked blue indeed for the to- m bacco market for a day or two. For vc a time it was feared that all of the buyers of every grade would be call- Tl ed off. However, the buyers for t1( Hughes & Co., were given orders to al to go on buying and by Thursday time m for the sales to take place there was B a greater demand for the weed than it was dreamed there would be. It was ^ plain that the war in Europe had ?i struck the tobacco business a terrible blow for the time being, but the pric- m os while lower than they were before, ro were still much higher than it had ?*f been thought they would be on the a< day before. Consequently everybody 1? connected with the tobacco business h; put on a more hopeful countenance and things had the appearance of set- M tling down again. Following is a number of the best sales made at the three warehouses P on last Thursday and Friday after the buyers for export had been called off the market: C Horry Tobacco Warehouse ir Name Lbs Price tl G.

C., Aug. 10.?The game \ layed here last Friday was very j ose, being 8 to 9 in favor of the Ta- l or boys. 1 The Dentist, Dr. G. I. Lewis, from i lullins, has been doing quite a lot of \ ork for the people of Loris. He has ] een busy for the past eight or ten , ays. , The Sunday school picnic which was ] > he given here last Thursday to the ( lildren by the young la<lies, was post j oned on account of the rain until ] ext Thursday, Aug. 13th. , In spite of so much war news, the >bacco market at Loris has held ( rices up well. Several farmers rea- ( zed as much as $100.00 per barn for :>bacco since prices were affected. We should not be prone to so much xcitement over disadvantages, everyliing generally turns for the best, 'hen \vej try to do our best. We heard but very little politics nr me past week, tiuess things will i ven up after next week. Lets all try nd vote for the best men to fill the arious offices regardless of what thers may have to say. We do not elieve in the idea of letting some mooth "talker" from some other tate come down here and dictate to s and say who we should support. Ve believe that our people are intelgent enough to do their own thinkig. And each and every true citizen hould turn out to the polls on the 25 f August and vote for the man of heir choice. Although you may not ave had the opportunities and adantages of an education like some thers, you have just as much right o vote as they. We believe in true )emocracy along all lines, whether he man is educated or ignorant. Let he people rule. Mr. W. H. Baxley of Wilmington /as in town last Saturday, looking fter the interest of the German Life nsurance Co's., local agency. His seal agent here, the Hon. M. M.

Quite a crowd from our town spent ist Sunday at Myrtle Beach, re tuning on the early train Monday mornng. They reported a good time and eemed to be well pleased with the isit to that beautiful summer resort. The ruost of our citizens are in faor of t he good road movement, but eem to be very much divided on the stock law" question. We are somewhat at a loss to know who to vote or to go to the Legislature this time, t seems so far those who are making he race have but little "platform." Vc would like to know just how they tand on various issues before we cast ur ballot. Mr. Ed Stevenson of Marion came ver and spent a couple of days last week at his old home in the Pleasant Ieadow section. We were all glad to ee Major looking so well. He has ust returned from the mountains here he has been spending ?ome ime for his health. Mr. Hob Vickers, the manager of Iverybody's Store, at Loris, is doing usiness. Our school at Loris will open on the ' 7th. Judging from the "Matrimonial , andidates" around Loris, there may e several marriages to report in the ear future.

PROTESTED BY NUMBER OF VOT M ERS IN THAT SECTION, )IDNOTREHUIRETAXRECEIPTS W And the Protest as Filed Charges ]t That Managers Were Not Legally Qualified to Hold The Election. On July 14th, 1914 there was an jlection held in Floyds township on the question of issuing bonds of the w township to the amount of $25,000.00 in for the improvement of the roads and at bridges therein. On July 20th the re- at turns were canvassed by the county pc board of commissioners and the elec- n< tion declared to be in favor of the sf bond issue. The election was held T under the provisions of the new act at :>f 1914 providing that elections may ai be held in the various townships by rt Drder of the county board upon the tl filing of a petition for that purpose b< by one-third of the free holders of ol such township. The election may be w for the issue of bonds, or for the levy sc of a special tax for road and bridge purposes. a' The new act requires tb~* *hn man- r< agers appoi?\ted by tlm county ooarct ' shall conduct the election under the i rules and restrictions applying to n general elections. ' n At the same time that the bonds or i special levy is voted upon there are I two road commissioners elected. In ^ Floyds township at the election above ^ stated there were four candidates for I 1 commissioner who received votes as a follows: ? Spring Floyds TaylorBranch Precinct ville S. Williamson 17 5 74 W. D. Grainger 7 4 72 1 1 B. F* Harrelson 78 31 17 R. M. Bullock 88 26 20 190 GO 183 Messrs. B. F. Bullock and B. F. Harrelson were declared elected. o The result on the vote for the bonds was found to be by the board 100 ej votes against and 120 for them. Soon after the election a number of citizens took steps to protest the elee- ei tion, among them being the following: C. Z Enzor, J. J. Enzor, A. Alford, M. L. Enzor, W. D. Grainger, H. tl Hammond, J. Q. Hammond, G. F. Floyd, P. B. Norton, H. A. Gerrald, if C. A. BufTkin, W. H. Buffkin, A. B. Buffkin, A. W. Holt, H. F. Barfield, ci R. B. Anderson, J. B. Brown, G. W. h Lovett, George Anderson, N. L. Bui- h lard, G. W. Hatcher, W. C. Grainger, S H. M. Hatcher, A. Waddell, Charlie Page, H. J. Floyd. | ci On last Wednesday the notice and grounds of protest was filed with the G county board, the principal grounds of protest being as follows: c 1. On the ground that the mana- K gers of the said election at none of ^ the precincts on the day of said elec- j tion required from any person offer- | ing to vote, the proof of the payment of all taxes collectable during the pre- ! vious year, so as to comply with the j requiremnts of the special law under which said election was held and con- ! trarv to thet statutes of the Stotn of South Carolina regulating general elections and which by said special I |)( law were made applicable to this elec- | tion; and on the further ground that ( jt1 in numerous instances while the vot- ! yy< ing was going on in said election said managers failed also to require of those voting therein the production m of any registration certificate, as re- th quired by the laws of the State. di 2. On the ground that the mana- sc gers at Spring Branch Precinct, to in the certain knowledge of the regu- et lators, and also at the other precincts n< in said township, as they are inform- of ed and believe, were not duly and tli properly qualified to hold said elec- tli tion, as required by the laws of this ai State, and did not take and subscribe el the oaths as required by the laws, If prior to holding said election; that at si said Spring Branch Precinct the re- Ti later C.

Appears That the People Are Taking Less Interest Than f sua I m the County Campaign,?What the Reasons are is Hard to Say. The candidatesc for county offices ound up a solid week of campaigng with the speaking last Saturday Rayboro. The meetings last week , Evergreen and Socastee were re>rted in full in this paper. On Wed;sday of last week the candidates >oke at Tilly Swamp, at Warnpee on hursday, at Ebenezer on Friday, and , Bayboro on Saturday. The attendee at each of these meetings was ither small. The largest audience ley had wore at Ebenezer and Ray>ro. The hearers were quiet at alt f the meetings except at Bayboro, here it seems that whiskey caused >me disorderly conduct. The speakers had very little, if nything, to add to what they had al5ndy said at the previous meetings, he substance of what they said was le same as at the Aynor and Loris lootings. Some of them hardly did lore than to announce their candiey. There are no meetings at all this eek, but the candidates are resting. hey will start again next Monday lorning at Gren Sea, August 17th, ml will wind up at Conway on Auust 22nd.
