The State Superintendent of Education has informed us that owing to previous engagements he cannot come to Horry on Educational Day as we had hoped but will come Friday, Oct. 23rd. Friday night at 8 o'clock, he will lecture in the auditorium of the Conway High School building and Saturday, Oct. 24th, at 11:30 in the Court House.

There are 82 schools in Horry whose term is lcn gthoned this year by State appropriations. Of the counties in the State, Horry now ranks 5th, in getting State Aid; received this year 310.28(1.77. The State Superintendent wants to know to what extent the people appreciate the different State appropriations. Every school which has been bene fitted by State aid should send one or more of their trustees and patrons. Every teacher who has taught | or is teaching a State aid school should come. We want the State aid continued, the State Superintendent wants to know the sentiment of the people by the time the Legislature meets. Come every person who is interested in better schools. S. H.

CLERK OF COURT , HOLDSJEFERENCE IN THE CASE OF SARAH S. EDGE AGAINST HEIRS OF D M EDGE W. L. Bryan, Clerk of the Court Common Pleas, was busy all througff the day last Thursday holding a reference court in the case of Sarah S. Edge, widow of the late D. M. Edge, brought by her against certain of the heirs at law of D. M. Edge for partition or division of the estate lands of D. M. Edge. The plaintiff, Sarah S. Edge, is the widow of D. M. Edge. She was D. M. Edge's second wife. By the first marriage I). M. Edge had eight children and to these about 1887 he divided up and gave to them each a share in a tract of land that he owned at that time. He married again and by this second marriage four children were born. The dispute which brought about this law suit seems to have arisen over one of the shares in this tract of land which he gave to one d his daughters, Mary A. Edge, latei the wife of one M W Cooper, and still later married a second time to S. J G. Milligan. 1). M. Edge made a deec to Mary Milligan at the same time he j made the other seven deeds, giving s to Mary an equal portion of the tract of land. Some time afterwards, one of his sons to whom he had given another portion of the tract wanted tc sell out and move away. This sor who moved away was Jos. B. Edge There was placed in evidence a transfer of title from J. B. Edge to Mar} Milligan, showing that this J. B. Edg< tract was purchased by her. Mrs. Sarah S. Edge claims that th< purpose of the transfer from Jos. B Edge to Mary Milligan was to earn out a trade made by the father, D. M Edge, with Mary, to the effect tha he would buy back this J. B. Edg< tract and trade it to her for the shar< that ho had conveyed to her the firs rrM_ - * ] nine, i ins question was warmly con tested by thp defendants in the testi mony last Thursday. Mary Milligai claims that she is the owner of botl of these shares, that is, not only th< one her father originally gave her but the Jos. B. Edge piece that sh< bought from Jos. B. Edge, througl her father. Many witnesses were present in th< court room to be sworn on the tw< sides in this controversy. There wen other people who seemed to feel ar interest in the hearing and attendee as spectators. The work of the court was not con eluded last Thursday and the referen ce will be continued at another tim? in November, this time to be fixed b; mutual consent later. Grandfather is Gone. Mr. Isaiah Rabon died at his home near Cool Springs, S. C., June 12 1914. At the age of 91 he crossed th< silent river to dwell with those in the sweet beyond. Thus passed away i loving father, a devoted husband, i good citizen and a noble man. True it is that the noble deeds of his life were not read in the daily newspaper! his name was not engraved upon i window in some grand cathedral, yd he was truly great. His life at home his trueness to the church and Sun day school, and the faithful perform ance of duty will continue to add star* to his crown as long as time lasts. He was honest, sober, patriotic and upright. He was one of that loved am respected number who said "Good bye" to his dear wife and loving chil dren and faced the bloody struggle oi 1861. For four long years he suffered the cruelties of the Civil War Like Joshua of old he stood firm Ever doing his duty until higher authorities said, "It is finished." When he returned to that dear oh spot called home, disheartened on one hand, but determined on the other, lie did what he could to make his community one of the most delightful and charming places on earth. A place where everything that is good was encouraged, and everything that is evil is pointed out and discountenanced. It's true that his brow was not crowned with the laurels of fame and glory, yet the deep desire and ever prevailing wish of his heart was, "God nrosner. nrotrvu ?rwl suva nm people, our church, our State and our Nation." Standing: firm upon the principles of "truth, honor, and virtue" his life was ideal and above reproach. He lived a true member of the Methodist church from his boyhood days until his death. He leaves C children, 25 grand children, 23 great-grandchildren to mourn their loss. May God's grace be sufficient for them in this their hour of bereavement. Father's gone and how we miss him, Though he speaks in accents clear, We can almost hear him begging Children, won't you come up here? We've no grandfather now to love, He's on the other shore; Nol i. During the 4 days ing to offer everyth blow cost. Now is your Suits, Under* Hats, Dress Shirts Everything at cost.
