"Be it resolved, That the bankers and fertilizer companies of the State are requested to grant extension of all paper for fertilizers and other supplies used in making the present crop. "Resolved, That, in making such extension the payments be fixed at GO, 90 and 120 days, so as to enable the cotton to be gradually marketed and adequate until provision can be made to finance and carry over the surplus. "Resolved, further, That in making these extensions, they are only to be granted to merchants doing a credit business who will agree only to furnish in 191 f> those who will agree to curtail their cotton crop to one-half the acreage of the cu-pcpt year.

The peace of a prominent residence section in Conway was rudely disturbed last Sunday night at about the hour of 11 o'clock. A negro woman named Ida slept in a small house provided for servants in the back yard in the rear of one of the nice residences across the Gully near Snow Hill. John Davis, a negro, was in the house with the negro woman and was called to the door by another negro man by the name of Mack Moore. Both of the negro men had been calling on the negro woman and there U n /] L/a/mi r? /-v ti/\ 11 U1 A La! iimAn iVinrM 11 C%" I ULUII own & u u vuuii: UCtYYCril IIIUII I before about it. When John Davis went to the door, he shot twice at Mack Moore, one of the bullets going wild, the other passing through the lungs of Mack Moore. Moore fired twice at Davis and both ran, no doubt [>n account of the woman's calling out when she saw the trouble begin. Mack Moore ran across the streets in the direction of the Burroughs Hos- 1 pital. He had been working there 1 some time ago and intended to have bis injury attended to there. On the ; way he met John Davis again, who 1 bad taken a different direction from < the house, and did not know Mack Moore in the dark. Some words passed and Mack Moore then shot John Davis, one of the shots inflicting a 1 mortal wound. After this last shooting, Moore ran into the Burroughs Hospital. John Davis ran into the 1 yard of Mr. T. T. Elliott, flung his pis tol under the side of the house and i ii~ ....... I..*....

Adams Reelected to the Office of County Auditor.?Ragsdale Elected Elsewhere appears a tabulated statement of the votes east in the pri mary last Tuesday for county officers and the United States Senatorial race The figures of course, are not official, hut they are published as sent over the wires Tuesday night. While not officially counted out and tabulated , still they are reliable and the results shown by the table will not be materially changed by the official count. Baker and Jackson are elected to the House of Representatives. N. C. Adams is reelected as County Auditor. J. S. Vaught is reelected as Judge of Probate of Horry County, rhere will be no second primary for any of the county offices. In the primary of 1912 Ellerbe beat Ragsdale by more than 100 votes. In this election Ragsdale carried the county by a good majority. JNews received late Tuesday night shows that Ragsdalct has carried every county in the district and will be declared elected to congress by a majority of at least 8,000 in the first primary. The returns for Horry County in the race for United States Senate were not complete as will appear by reference to the table. But there is enough to show that Ellison D. Smith carried the county by a good majority. Governor Cole I>. Blease lost his following in this county which had always piled up a large vote for hi a before. In the race for congress in the 6th di trict, Horry County gave Ragfidale i majority at nearly every precinct v?* opt Cop.way.
