Buffkin Lives Near the State Line,
Which Passes Between Pis Well
and Doorsteps.?He Can Kasily
Shift Prom One State to Another.
It was a tale of defiance of the law
that reached Sheriff J. A. Lewis last
week. The constable under the magistrate
in Green Sea, had a warrant
which luul been sworn old against a
negro by Van Coleman. L appears
that this negro whose arrest the warrant
required, lives on Hull'kin's place.
The story w; s to the effect that when
the constable aided by another man
went to make the arrest under the
warrant, /'ado Buffkin, on whose
place fhe negro lives, took his AVinchestor
rifle and took the negro away
from the officer.
The parties were advised that legal
stops would Ik taken against Buffkin
at the proper time and in the proper
way.
Buffkin, familiarly known as "Zudo"
is sometimes'\tnown as Z. M. Buffkin.
! ' )? { Mine time it has hpen known that
ho defied the law in sevornl miviiVnl
lars. His Jand lies along" the state
line between South Carolina and
North Carolina. It is said on good authority
that it is easy tor him to slip
J'rom one slate into the other, for although
his dwelling is on Ihe South
Carolina si lo of the line, the State
line runs between his well and the
door steps of BufTkin'.s house.
Lnsf week, after the affair over the
negro?which was as disgraceful as
ever happened in that or any tuher
- com ni unity- - several w*a rra'n t s wo re
sworn out for Buffkin, not only for resisiing
an oliieer in tho discharge of
his duties, but for violation of the dispensary
law, and in other respects
that were not at the time disclosed to
the v-portoi for this paper.
Buffkin. it appears,.-has often been
in trouble with the law, hut as yyt
none of his experiences in that line
has taught him a sufTu irnf lesson. The
charge of r -slating an officer in the
discharge of his duty that will now he
brought against him b> a common law
often. ( and is regarded in the law as
a grave crime. It. is b- i c red that he
will b( h. > a ?;l: !* t account undor
the warrant that will be s^yed on
him in North Carolina, under a requisition,
from the (lovernor, if that
course becomes necessary by reason
of hi.s going into that State when
wanted on the charge.
This is only one instance of one
wrong that is almost daily committed
in a rough section of this county lying
adjacent to the Tabor sect'?h of
Columbus county, N. C. It is o'no of
the dark corners or spots of Horry
County, and has often been said the
only way to make it better is to make
the punishment of these people lit the
crimes they commit.

B. J. Sessions, Mho Was Sk.nff
Several Years.
Sue was filed last week through attoi
noy M. l\ DoBruhl of CHuni1 in
against C. Spivcy, H. H.Woodward
a id VV. F. Misiioe, the bondsme i on
the official bond of the late B. .J. Nv ;sion.g
ox-sheriff of Horry County.
This matter has been pending for
some time, having been reported by
:ho grand jury u> the Court, showing
irrcgultvi itics in making returns ft an
his (.bice of executions for delinquent
taxes for several years before his
dentin and also a matter of something
less tha'L two hundred dollars costs
and fees collected which it was alleged
were not turned into the county
treasury as the law requires should
be done.
The complaint sets out that Mr. Re:-j
dons van elected sheriff at the general
oolction in the von- I J) OR, and file ; I
.
his odicial bond with the defendants'
J. C. Bpivev, iI. II. Woodward and W.
F. Mi-;hoe as h.is sureties, which no ml.
was duly approved and recorded.
It then sets forth that in, 1912, at j
the general election. .J. A. Lewis \va>
duly elected as sheriff as tin. .successor
to L. J. Sessions. That thereafter!
Cm comptroller general audited the
books and accounts of the said B. J.
Sessions and found that there remained
in his hands the sum of
consisting of funds cfthe public revenues
part of said amount being col-j
looted b\ him on delinquent tax exc-:
utions Mid a oari being for costs col-:
looted by him on tax executions, none |
of which had l:oer. aceounjted for. That '
said amounts so* found short were due]
the Sfalc and should have been turned
over A'iihin dO days to J. A. Lewis, his
r.n.' c.G; .icr in the ofiioo, and were nol ,
s turr.ed over, and that his bondsman
Ihcreby became liable not only for the;
:;ai 1 amount withheld as alleged but;
fc" the "? per cent, per month on these
\ lcur.ts provided by the statutes as i
.: na'ity. That demand was made of;
him f< this money but .he same was!
never turned' over. That as to the j
; .u unt of tux money so cola - led ami j
not, turned over they became liable
for ruble the amount as provided by
die statute.
The complaint demands judgment 1
igaiust the bondsmen for the S'1000.00 j
penalty provided in the bond, the ex-j
u*t amount for which they are liable
;o be established by thecourt in such j
i manner as it may direct.
It is stated on good authority that
Mr Sessions did not collect any money
which he failcd<*to turn over, but simp
y failed to return the nulla bona tax
executions for proper receipt to the
ounty auditor or treasurer. Howjver
this may b^> the matter will no
loubt be thoroughly investigated and <
t is believed that it will bo shown
hat there was really no actual shortiire

Olie day lust week ih e community
across the river from Conway was
shocked by the sudden and unexpected
death of Mrs. W. F. Causey. This
family has been living for the past
many years at the old Sessions place
near Savannah KiufV, across the river
from Conway. On Wednesday of last
week Mrs. Causey was at the railroad
station with a party of other people,
having gone from the home to the
railroad to take the train to visit Con
way on a shaping trip. Some member >
c.f the party signed the irain down and
the irain stopped. Mrs. Causey was
going t nvard the steps of the coach
and when about to mount the steps
she suddenly stopped and said: "1 feel
so badly, I bo1", w ' am going to die."
The next minute she sank slowly to
her knees a*nd foil over on her face;
with her head between two cross ties.
