Hon. J. E. Swearingen, State Superintendent
of Education to Come
to Horrv. Fridav Oct. 2SpH.
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.
He wishes to urge the trustees, teachers
and patrons of the different
schools in the county to meet him at
the Court House, and more especially,
the trustees, teachers and patrons of
the schools which have voted a special
tax and are receiving State aid.
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.

Sends Letters to Exchanges.
Secretary Houston last week sent
to a number of Southern exchanges a
letter advocating a constrictive move

rather than an attempt merely to restrict
cotton acreage.
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;
