The county cotton congresses will
)o held in every county in South

ngs was issued by Dr. Wade ?tacklouse
of Dillon, president of the

* 1 * i~ .1- _ Cix_ _
Has asxeu every iarmer in me omiu
bo hold one-third of his crop and that
12 1-2 cents be fixed as the minimum
price per pound.
It is the plan of the leaders to extend
the holding movement to all of
the States of the cotton belt.
At the county meeting today the
farmers will be asked to decide on
the question of an extra session of the
general assembly at which the State
warehouse bill would be presented.
Outline of Project.
The following resolution was adopted
by the State Cotton congress:
"Whereas, on account of war in Europe
among the nations which consume
two-thirds* of our raw cotton,
and whereas, until arrangements can
be made for vessels under the American
flag, the ocean carrying trade has
almost been suspended, and whereas,
under such conditions, the domestic
market can not absorb the movement
of cotton.
"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.
"Resolved, further, That where the

The French and British troops, op- .

into Belgium, suffered a serious reverse
last Monday, according to the
official announcement issued by the
French war office. In the battle line,
which extended from Mons to the Lux
cmburg frontier, several army corps,
composed of both British and French ]
took the offensive on Sunday against (
the Germans, but their plan of attack ,
failed, owing to the Tinforseen difficulties"
as described by the official j
statement, and the troops retired on ]
the covering positions. j
The losses on both sides reported
as extremely heavy, and the French
officials described he Germans as be- ,
ing obliged,to establish themselves in ]
fresh positions in Lorraine. The j
French abandoned portions of Alsace (
and Lorraine? which they previously ,
had occupied.

NEGRO PISTOL DUEL
TWO JLOSE LIVES
IN PROMINENT RESIDENCE SECTION
OF CONWAY SUNDAY
NIGHT
PEACEFUL EVENING DISTURBED
Mack Moore Shot Through the Lungs,
Not Expected to Live,?John Davis
Reported as Dying on Monday After
the Shooting.
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

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

where on last Monday he4 was reported
as dying. Mark Mooiv was spitting

the main residence section ot Conway.

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
